Entity and (a) the Debtors file with the Bankruptcy Court a Debtor Plan that does not provide for a release of all Third Party Claims against that Supporting Public Entity or (b) the Bankruptcy Court rules that it will not approve a release of all Third Party Claims against such Supporting Public Entity.  Under the circumstances described in subpart (b) of the preceding sentence in which the Court rules that it will not approve a release of all Third Party Claims against such Supporting Public Entity and that Supporting Public Entity exercises its right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 5(d)(iv), the Supporting Public Entity shall have the right to revoke its vote in favor of the Debtor Plan and file an opposition to the plan should they so choose.  For purposes hereof, Third Party Claims shall mean any and all past, present or future claims against the Supporting Public Entities in any way relating to the Fires held by entities or individuals other than the Debtors or the Plan Support Public Entities, including but not limited to claims by individual plaintiffs or subrogated insurance carriers against the Supporting Public Entities for personal injuries, property damage, reimbursement of insurance payments and/or wrongful death relating in any way to the Fires.

(e)          This Agreement may be terminated by the Company, by the delivery to the Supporting Public Entities of a written notice in accordance with Section 19 hereof by the Company upon a Company Termination Event.

A “Company Termination Event” shall mean any of the following:

(i)            the failure to obtain the consent, or the waiver of lack of consent as a defense, of the Company’s insurance carriers for the policy years 2017 and 2018;

(ii)        the breach in any material respect by the Supporting Public Entities of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Supporting Public Entities set forth in this Agreement, which breach remains uncured for a period of 15 days after the receipt by the Supporting Public Entities from the Company of written notice of such breach;

(iii)      the board of directors, managers, or similar governing body, as applicable, of any Company entity determines in good faith that continued performance under this Agreement would be inconsistent with the exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable law; or

(iv)        the termination of any Public Entity PSA between the Company and any Plan Support Public Entity for any reason and by any entity pursuant to the terms of that Public Entity PSA.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that any individual Plan Support Public Entity terminates their Public Entity PSA just as to itself, the Company shall have the right pursuant to this provision to terminate all Public Entity PSAs.

(f)            Effect of Termination.  Upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 5, and except as provided in Section 13 hereof, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no further force or effect and each Party shall, except as provided

otherwise in this Agreement, be immediately released from its liabilities, obligations, commitments, undertakings and agreements under or related to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and remedies that it would have had and shall be entitled to take all actions, whether with respect to the Debtor Plan and contemplated restructuring or otherwise, that it would have been entitled to take had it not entered into this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall any such termination relieve a Party from liability for its breach or non-performance of its obligations hereunder prior to the date of such termination.  Upon any such termination of this Agreement, the Supporting Public Entities may, upon written notice to the Company and the other Parties, revoke their vote or any consents given prior to such termination, whereupon any such vote or consent shall be deemed, for all purposes, to be null and void ab initio and shall not be considered or otherwise used in any manner by the Parties in connection with the Debtor Plan and contemplated restructuring and this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Supporting Public Entities shall not have a right to terminate this Agreement if a default or failure (including by action, inaction or misrepresentation) by the Supporting Public Entities of their obligations, undertakings, representations, warranties, or covenants hereunder is the cause, directly or indirectly, of the event giving rise to the right to terminate.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each of the Parties shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary or reasonably requested by the other Party to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

Each Party represents and warrants to the other Party that the following statements are true, correct and complete as of the date hereof:

(a)         such Party has the corporate, governmental entity, or similar authority to enter into this Agreement and carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and perform its obligations contemplated hereunder, subject, in the case of the Debtors, to any requisite approval of the Bankruptcy Court; and the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of such Party’s obligations hereunder have been duly authorized;

(b)          the execution, delivery, and performance by such Party of this Agreement does not and will not (A) violate any provision of law, rule or regulation applicable to it or any of its subsidiaries or its charter or bylaws (or other similar organization, constitutive or other governing documents) or those of any of its subsidiaries, or (B) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any material contractual obligation to which it or any of its subsidiaries is a party;

(c)            the execution, delivery, and performance by such Party of this Agreement does not and will not require any registration or filing with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action, with or by, any federal, state, or governmental authority or regulatory body, except such filings as may be necessary and/or required by the SEC and, in the case of the Debtors, any requisite approval of the Bankruptcy Court; and

(d)        this Agreement is the legally valid and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject, in the case of the Debtors, to any requisite approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

The Supporting Public Entities further represent and warrant to the Company that they (A)(i) are the owners of all the Supporting Public Entities’ Claims, including the Wildfire Claims, and, prior to the date hereof, have made no assignment, sale, participation, grant, conveyance, pledge or other Transfer of any such Claims to any person that is not a party to this Agreement and have not entered into any other agreement to assign, sell participate, grant, convey, pledge, or otherwise transfer, in whole or in part, any portion of their right, title, or interests in any of the Claims that are inconsistent or conflict with the representations, warranties of such Supporting Public Entities herein or that would render them otherwise unable to comply with this Agreement and perform their obligations hereunder, either generally or with respect to any specific Claims, (ii) have the sole investment or voting discretion with respect to such Claims, (iii) have the full power and authority to vote on, and take action with respect to, and consent to matters concerning such Claims, or exchange or Transfer such Claims, (iv) have the full power and authority to bind or act on behalf of the beneficial owners of such Claims, if any and (v) do not own any other Claims and (B) other than pursuant to this Agreement, such Claims are free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, charge, claim, equity, option, proxy, voting restriction, or other limitation on disposition or encumbrance of any kind that would prevent in any way the Supporting Public Entities’ performance of their obligations hereunder as of the date hereof and at the time such obligations are required to be performed.

Any and all communications, information, and/or documents related and leading up to, including during any and all parts of a mediation and/or settlement negotiation process, including the preparation of this Agreement, are confidential, and will not be disclosed to any third-party without the prior written consent of the Parties, except (a) to enforce any term of this Agreement, (b) to the extent required to be disclosed in mandatory filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, (c) to the extent required or necessary to receive legal, tax or accounting advice, (d) as otherwise required by law, (e) to the extent required to be disclosed in mandatory filings with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service; (f) to the extent such terms have already been publicly disclosed as permitted by this paragraph; and (g) as required to effectuate the covenants of the Parties herein in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases (including in any Definitive Document).  Prior to any Party’s initial public disclosure of confidential information or communications pursuant to this paragraph, that Party shall permit the other Party to review a draft of such initial public disclosure and shall in good faith consider any edits proposed by the other Party.  The Parties also agree that they shall not take the position in any public communication that the amount of the Settlement Payment or the Plan Treatment are not a reasonable amount to fully liquidate, settle and resolve all the Plan Support Public Entities’ Wildfire Claims in a confirmed plan.

This Agreement, including any exhibits or schedules hereto, may not be waived, modified, amended or supplemented except in a writing signed by the Company and the Supporting Public Entities.

(b)            Each Party irrevocably agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party or its successors or assigns shall be brought and determined in the Bankruptcy Court and each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and, if the Bankruptcy Court does not have (or abstains from) jurisdiction, Courts of the State of California and of the United States District Court of the Northern District of California, and any appellate court from any thereof, for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.  Each Party further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the Parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient.  Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court as described herein for any reason, (ii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of such court or from any legal process commenced in such court (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) that (A) the proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such proceeding is improper or (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such court.

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.

It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by a Party and the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (including attorneys’ fees and costs) as a remedy of any such breach, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy (or the posting of any bond), including an order of the Bankruptcy Court requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder.

of the Supporting Public Entities’ Claims.  If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any person or entity or circumstance, shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision or part thereof and the remaining part of such provision hereof and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.  Upon any such determination of invalidity, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a reasonably acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce its terms.  This Agreement shall in no event be construed as or be deemed to be evidence of an admission or concession on the part of either Party of any claim or fault or liability or damages whatsoever.  Each of the Parties reserves all rights with respect to claims or defenses which it has asserted or could assert.

(a)            This Agreement is not and shall not be deemed to be a solicitation for votes in favor of the Debtor Plan in the Chapter 11 Cases.  The acceptances of the Supporting Public Entities with respect to the Debtor Plan will not be solicited until the Supporting Public Entities have received the Debtor Plan, the Disclosure Statement, and related ballots and solicitation materials, each as approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

(d)            Each Party hereby confirms that its decision to execute this Agreement has been based upon its independent investigation of the relevant Claims and the operations, businesses, financial and other conditions and prospects of the Company.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed and delivered by their respective duly authorized officers, solely in their respective capacity as officers of the undersigned and not in any other capacity, as of the date first set forth above.
