Pursuant to the 21 terms of the CPU Plan, both the First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds and the 1992 PC Bonds 22 were to remain outstanding and be-reinstated and rendered unimpaired in accordance with 23 Section 1124(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.
24 25 7. On or about November 6,2002, the CPU and the Official Committee of 26 Unsecured Creditors filed the CPU Second Amended Plan. The CPU Second Amended Plan 27 continues to provide for the 1992 PC Bonds in Class 4a to be reinstated and unimpaired. The 28 CONDITIONAL OBJECTION AND REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION OF DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, AS TRUSTEE
1 Disclosure Statement confirmed this and no disclosure was made of any attempt to impair the 2 1992 PC Bonds. No provision was made for a vote by Class 4a, and DB, in reliance thereon, 3
4 did not object to the CPU Second Amended Plan.
5 8. However, the CPU Second Amended Plan provides for $2.699 billion of 6 the First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds in Class 3 to be paid in full and for all liens securing 7 them to be extinguished as of the Effective Date. The CPU Second Amended Plan provides 8
9 no specific treatment for the $345 million of Mortgage Bonds, including the Collateral 10 Bonds, that secure the 1992 PC Bonds and the other PC Bonds that were also issued under 11 and secured by the Mortgage. The CPU Second Amended Plan defines these as "Mortgage 12 Bonds," a term separate and distinct from the term "First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds,"
13 14 although both are secured, paripassu, by the Mortgage.
15 CONDITIONAL OBJECTION 16 9. DB, and apparently the other trustees for the mortgage backed PC 17 Bonds, interpreted the CPU Second Amended Plan to provide that the Mortgage Bonds, 18 19 including the Collateral Bonds, and the lien of the Mortgage securing them, would not be Mortgage Bonds issued to the 20 extinguished. DB concluded that only the First and Refunding 21 public in the amount of $2.699 billion would be repaid and that lien extinguished. Any other 22 interpretation would presume that the Second Amended Plan intended to deprive Class 4a of 23 the benefits of its Mortgage Bond collateral with no compensation. This would impair Class 24 Class 4a of its collateral 25 4a and entitle it to vote. There is no legal justification for depriving 26 without compensation.
27 10. On November 26, 2002, however, the Debtor advised DB that it 28 AS TRUSTEE CONDITIONAL OBJECTION AND REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION OF DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS,
1 interpreted the CPU Second Amended Plan differently. The Debtor believes that the 2 Mortgage Bonds, including the Collateral Bonds, fall within the definition of the First and 3
will 3 and that the lien created by the Mortgage Refunding Mortgage Bonds, are within Class 5 be extinguished as of the Effective Date, depriving the PC Bonds of their Mortgage Bond 6 security. However, the $2.699 billion provided to be paid is insufficient to cover both the 7 First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds and the $345 million of the Mortgage Bonds, if those 8
bonds are included in Class 3. If the Debtor is correct, then confirmation of the CPU Second 9
10 Amended Plan will deprive the 1992 PC Bonds of their collateral and Class 4a will be 11 impaired under the CPU Second Amended Plan with no opportunity to vote or object and 12 with inadequate and misleading disclosure.
13 14 11. When a secured creditor is deprived of its collateral in a plan of In re Barakat,99 15 reorganization, the secured creditor's claim is impaired. 11 U.S.C. § 1124; 16 F.3d 1520, 1527 (9th Cir. 1996). Moreover, if the secured creditor is deprived of its collateral 17 without being given the collateral's "indubitable equivalent" in exchange, the plan cannot be 18 19 confirmed over the secured creditor's objection. 11 U.S.C. § 1129(b)(2); In re Ambanc La extinguishment of 20 Mesa Limited Partnership,115 F.3d 650, 653 (9 'hCir. 1996). Obviously, 21 the Mortgage Bonds as part of Class 3, while providing no recovery to their holders, is 22 discriminatory in violation of Section 1129(b).
23
- 12. The Debtor's position regarding the CPU Second Amended Plan 24 of the CPU 25 compels DB to conditionally object to confirmation and to seek clarification 26 Second Amended Plan. In the event that the proponents of the CPU Second Amended Plan 27 confirm that the Collateral Bonds securing the 1992 PC Bonds are to be extinguished with no 28 CONDITIONAL OBJECTION AND REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION OF DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, AS TRUSTEE
1 payment, then the CPU Second Amended Plan cannot and should not be confirmed.
2 CONCLUSION 3
4 For the foregoing reasons, DB conditionally objects to confirmation of the CPU 5 Second Amended Plan and requests clarification. The CPU Second Amended Plan provides 6 that the 1992 PC Bonds are unimpaired, and the collateral securing such bonds remains in full 7 force and effect. In the event that the 1992 PC Bonds are impaired, and the PC Bonds, 8
including the Collateral Bonds, are extinguished, then the CPU Second Amended Plan should 10 not be confirmed.
