5.2Termination by Carrier. Subject to the conditions of this Section 5, upon delivery of written notice to the other Parties, in its sole discretion and unless expressly waived, Carrier can terminate:

15



extent it relates to the Estate Claims Settlement or the terms hereof) to be unenforceable or enjoining or otherwise restricting the consummation of any material portion of the Plan (to the extent it relates to the Estate Claims Settlement) or the Estate Claims Settlement, and such ruling, judgment, or order has not been stayed, reversed, or vacated, within fifteen (15) calendar days after issuance;
(e)the entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court (or other court of competent jurisdiction) over an objection by the Debtor pursued in good faith, (i) dismissing the Chapter 11 Case, (ii) converting the Chapter 11 Case to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, (iii) appointing, in the Chapter 11 Case, a trustee or examiner with expanded powers beyond those set forth in sections 1106(a)(3) and (4) of the Bankruptcy Code, or (iv) modifying or terminating the Debtor’s exclusive right to file and/or solicit acceptances on a plan of reorganization, as applicable; provided, that, an examiner appointed solely to review fees and expenses of professionals retained in the Chapter 11 Case shall not constitute a Termination Event under Section 5 hereof; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise specified above, Carrier, the Committee, and the MDL PEC shall have ten (10) calendar days from the receipt of any such written notice of termination from the Debtor specifying the purported default or Debtor Termination Event to cure any purported default or Debtor Termination Event under this Section and no termination of this Agreement shall be effective unless and until the expiration of such ten (10) calendar day period without such purported default or Debtor Termination Event being waived or cured.
5.3Termination by the Committee. The Committee may terminate this Agreement with respect to itself only as set forth in this Section 5 at any time prior to the date the Confirmation Order becomes a Final Order after it provides notice to the other Settling Parties that it has determined in good faith, after consulting with legal counsel, and subject to the conditions of Section 2.03 hereof, that proceeding with the Estate Claims Settlement or the Plan would be inconsistent with the exercise of its fiduciary duties or its compliance with applicable Law (the “Committee Termination Event”).
5.4Termination by MDL PEC Co-Leads. As to each MDL PEC Co-Lead, each of the MDL PEC Co-Leads may terminate this Agreement as to himself only as set forth in this Section 5 at any time prior to the date the Confirmation Order becomes a Final Order after he provides notice to the other Settling Parties that he has determined in good faith and subject to the conditions of Section 2.04 hereof, that proceeding with the Estate Claims Settlement or the Plan would be inconsistent the ethical obligations applicable to them under the laws or professional rules in any applicable jurisdictions (the “MDL PEC Co-Lead Termination Event” and collectively with Non-Debtor Termination Event, Debtor Termination Event, Carrier Termination Event, and Committee Termination Event, the “Termination Events”), following
16



which this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to all other members of the MDL PEC party hereto.
5.5Termination Generally.

5.8Effect of Termination. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Date, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect as to such Party and each Party subject to such termination shall be released from its commitments, undertakings, and agreements under or related to this Agreement and shall have the rights and remedies that it would have had, had it not entered into this Agreement, and shall be entitled to take all actions, whether with respect to the Estate Claims Settlement, any MDL Class Action Settlement, or otherwise, that it would have been entitled to take had it not entered into this Agreement, including with respect to any and all Claims or Causes of Action. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting any Party from contesting whether any such termination is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or to seek enforcement of any rights under this Agreement that arose or existed before a Termination Date. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict any right of any Party or the ability of any Party to protect and reserve its rights (including rights under this Agreement), remedies, and interests, including its claims against any other Party. No purported termination of this Agreement shall be effective under this Section 5.09 or otherwise if the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement is in material breach of this Agreement, with such material breach causing, or resulting in, the occurrence of one or more Termination Events. Nothing in this Section 5.09 shall restrict any Debtor’s or the Committee’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.03. Following the occurrence of a Termination Date, the following shall survive any such termination: (a) any claim for breach of this Agreement that occurs prior to such Termination Date, and all rights and remedies with respect to such claims shall not be prejudiced in any way, and (b) Sections 1.02, 5.09, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 hereof. The automatic stay applicable under section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall not prohibit a Party from taking any action or delivering any notice necessary to effectuate the termination of this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with the terms hereof.
17



Section 6.Amendments and Waivers.
(a)Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, no amendment, modification, waiver, or other supplement of the terms of this Agreement (including the Plan, the Estate Claims Settlement, the MDL Class Action Settlements, and the TDPs) shall be valid unless such amendment, modification, waiver, or other supplement is in writing and has been signed by each of the Parties. Any proposed modification, amendment, waiver, or supplement that does not comply with this Section 6(a) shall be ineffective and void ab initio.
(b)If the transactions contemplated herein are not consummated, or following the occurrence of the termination of this Agreement with respect to all Parties, nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver by any Party of any or all of such Parties’ rights, privileges, remedies, claims, and defenses and the Parties expressly reserve any and all of their respective rights, privileges, remedies, claims, and defenses. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power, or remedy or any provision of this Agreement, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power, or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or remedy or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy. All remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by Law.
(c)Except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the Plan, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict the ability of any Party to protect and preserve its rights, remedies, and interests.
Section 7.Entire Agreement.
This Agreement, including the Settlement Term Sheet, Plan Term Sheet, certain ancillary agreements regarding claim resolution and budgeted expenses, and all exhibits and schedules, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes all other prior negotiations, agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.
Section 8.Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. Execution copies of this Agreement may be delivered by email in portable document format (.pdf), which shall be deemed to be an original for the purposes of this Section.
Section 9.Headings.
The headings of the Sections, paragraphs, and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation hereof or, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Agreement.
18



Section 10.Remedies.
It is understood and agreed by the Parties that, without limiting any other remedies available at law or equity, money damages would be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy of any such breach, including, without limitation, an order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy. Each of the Parties hereby waives any defense that, with respect to an action for breach of this Agreement, a remedy at law is adequate and any requirement to post bond or other security in connection with actions instituted for injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable remedies.
Section 11.Governing Law and Dispute Resolution.
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to such state’s choice of law provisions which would require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally agrees for itself, and waives any objection thereto, that with respect to any issue concerning the Estate Causes of Action, any legal action, suit or proceeding against it with respect to any matter arising under or arising out of or under this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit or proceeding, shall be brought in the Bankruptcy Court, and each of the Parties irrevocably accepts and submits itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally agrees for itself, and waives any objection thereto, that with respect to any issue concerning the MDL Class Action Settlements, any legal action, suit or proceeding against it with respect to any matter arising under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit or proceeding, shall be brought in the AFFF MDL Court, and each of the Parties irrevocably accepts and submits itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of the AFFF MDL Court. For the avoidance of doubt, no Insurance Action is a legal action, suit or proceeding arising under, out of, or in connection with this Agreement.
Section 12.Waiver of Jury Trial.
EACH OF THE SETTLING PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, NO INSURANCE ACTION IS A LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

Glossary of Defined Terms


Releases
Releases by the EstateAs of the Effective Date, except for the rights that remain in effect from and after the Effective Date to enforce the Plan and the Confirmation Order, for good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, pursuant to sections 105(a) and 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, each Released Party shall be, and shall be deemed to be, expressly, conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever released and discharged by the Debtor, its Estate, or any other Person or Governmental Unit asserting currently or in the future by, under, through, or on behalf of the Debtor or its Estate, and each of their respective successors or assigns, including the Settlement Trust, of and from any and all Estate Causes of Action based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from any act, omission, transaction, event, or other circumstance taking place or existing on or before the Effective Date in connection with or related to the Debtor, the Estate, their respective current or former assets and properties, the Chapter 11 Case, AFFF, AFFF Claims, the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Interest that is treated by the Plan, the business or contractual arrangements between one or both of the Debtor and any Released Party, the restructuring of any Claim or Interest that is treated by the Plan before or during the Chapter 11 Case, any of the Plan Documents, or any related agreements, instruments, and other documents created or entered into before or during the Chapter 11 Case or the negotiation, formulation, preparation, or implementation thereof, the pursuit of confirmation, the administration and implementation of the Plan, the solicitation of votes with respect to the Plan, the distribution of any property under the Plan, or any other act or omission, transaction, agreement, event, or other occurrence taking place on or before the Effective Date related or relating to the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the releases set forth in the Plan shall not be construed to release any post-Effective Date obligations under the Estate Claims Settlement or any document, instrument, or agreement executed to implement the Estate Claims Settlement, including the RTX Waiver, which specifically provides that such Estate Claims Settlement can be terminated and releases provided in the Plan or in the Estate Claims Settlement are void if Carrier fails to make the installments of the Guaranteed Cash Payment when due and such failure is not timely cured within 30 days, at which time the Settlement Trust is entitled to commence, prosecute or continue all Estate Causes of Action against the Released Parties in any court of competent jurisdiction, and take such other actions as the trustees of the Settlement Trust may determine in the exercise of their fiduciary duties.

Waivers
With respect to any and all of the Released Claims, although a specific release of the Released Parties is contemplated herein, the Settling Parties stipulate and agree that the Settling Parties shall be deemed to have waived the provisions, rights, and benefits of California Civil Code § 1542 or any law of the United States or any state of the United States or territory of the United States, or principle of common law, which is similar, comparable, or equivalent to Cal. Civ. Code § 1542, which provides:
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.
National Foam AFFF Channeling Injunction
Channeling Injunction
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to preserve and promote the settlements contemplated by and provided for in the Plan, including the Insurance Settlement Agreements, and to supplement, where necessary, the injunctive effect of the discharge as provided in sections 1141 and 524 of the Bankruptcy Code, pursuant to the exercise of the equitable jurisdiction and power of the Bankruptcy Court under sections 105(a) and 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the sole recourse of any holder of a Channeled AFFF Claim against a Released Party on account of such Channeled AFFF Claim shall be to and against the Settlement Trust pursuant to the Settlement Trust Documents, and such holder shall have no right whatsoever at any time to assert any such Channeled AFFF Claim or any Estate Cause of Action that is released under the Estate Claims Settlement against any Released Party or any property or interest in property of any Released Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the sole recourse for any Channeled AFFF Claim covered by any Insurance Policy issued by a Settling Insurance Company shall be to and against the Settlement Trust pursuant to the Settlement Trust Documents. Accordingly, on and after the Effective Date, all holders of AFFF Claims that have held or asserted, currently hold or assert, or that may in the future hold or assert, any Channeled AFFF Claim or any Estate Cause of Action against any Released Party shall be permanently and forever stayed, restrained, and enjoined from taking any action for the purpose of directly, indirectly, or derivatively collecting, recovering, or receiving payment, satisfaction, or recovery from any Released Party with respect to any such Channeled AFFF Claim or Estate Cause of Action, other than from the Settlement Trust pursuant to the Settlement Trust Documents, including:
a)    commencing, conducting, or continuing, in any manner, whether directly, indirectly, or derivatively, any suit, action, or other proceeding of any kind (including a judicial, arbitration, administrative, or other proceeding) in any forum in any jurisdiction around the world against or affecting any Released Party, or any property or interest in property of any Released Party;
b)    enforcing, levying, attaching (including any prejudgment attachment), collecting, or otherwise recovering, by any manner or means, either directly or indirectly, any judgment, award, decree, or order against or affecting any Released Party, or any property or interest in property of any Released Party;
c)    creating, perfecting or otherwise enforcing in any manner, whether directly or indirectly, any encumbrance of any kind against any Released Party, or any property or interest in property of any Released Party;
d)    asserting, implementing, or effectuating any setoff, right of reimbursement, subrogation, indemnity, contribution, reimbursement, or recoupment of any kind, in any manner, directly or indirectly, against any obligation due to any Released Party, or any property or interest in property of any Released Party; or
e)    taking any act in any manner, and in any place whatsoever, that does not conform to, or comply with, the provisions of the Plan Documents or the Settlement Trust Documents, or, with regard to any matter that is within the scope of the matters designated by the Plan to be subject to resolution by the Settlement Trust, except in conformity and compliance with the Settlement Trust Documents with respect to any such Channeled AFFF Claim.

Enforcement of Plan Settlements and ReleasesThe Plan and Confirmation Order shall provide that the Bankruptcy Court shall have sole and exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether a Cause of Action alleged by an AFFF Claimant against one or more of the Released Parties is a Cause of Action that was an Estate Cause of Action or otherwise settled and released under the Plan (a “Release Dispute”). In the event of a Release Dispute, a Released Party may, at its sole cost and expense, file a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking a determination as to whether such AFFF Claimant’s Cause of Action was settled and released pursuant to the Plan, and upon such motion, the Bankruptcy Court shall determine such Release Dispute and, if appropriate, enjoin the prosecution of such Cause of Action as having been settled and released under the Plan.
Claim-OverIt is the intent of the Settling Parties that: (a) the contributions made by the Contributing Parties to the Settlement Trust shall be the sole payments the Released Parties shall make to address the Released Claims, (b) a claim by the holder of a Claim against any non-Party arising out of a Released Claim should not result in any additional payment by any Released Party, and (c) the settlement effectuated through the Plan meets the requirements of the Uniform Contribution Among Tortfeasors Act and any similar state or federal law or doctrine that reduces or discharges a released party’s liability to any other parties. The Plan and Confirmation Order will specify that the Estate Claims Settlement is a good faith settlement that bars any Cause of Action by a non-Released Party against any Released Party for contribution, indemnification, or otherwise seeking to recover any amounts paid by or awarded against that non-Released Party and paid or awarded to any holder of a Claim by way of settlement, judgment, or otherwise on any Claim that would be a Released Claim were such non-Released Party a Released Party (a “Claim-Over”) to the extent that a good-faith settlement (or release thereunder) has such an effect under applicable law. To the extent that on or after the Effective Date, the Settlement Trust settles any Cause of Action it has against any non-Released Party arising out of, relating to, or involving the Released Claims and provides a release to such non-Released Party, the Settlement Trust shall include in that settlement a release from such non-Released Party in favor of the Released Parties substantially consistent with the releases provided by the Releasing Parties herein, including for National Foam AFFF Claims. Nothing herein prevents the Settlement Trust or a any holder of a Claim from pursing litigation against a non-Released Party and collecting the full amount of any judgment. The Claim-Over protections provided in the Plan and Confirmation Order shall not apply to Causes of Action brought by any Sovereign State. In addition, the MDL Class Action Settlements shall contain “Claim-Over” provisions that are at least as protective as those contained in the DuPont and 3M settlements.

Exhibit B

Settlement Term Sheet




CARRIER/KFI/UCC/PEC Settlement Term Sheet

Settling Parties
The parties to the proposed settlement are Carrier, KFI Wind Down, Inc. (“KFI”), the PEC, and the Committee (the “Settling Parties”).
Release
Carrier shall pay to the Estate the consideration set forth below in exchange for the releases set forth in Exhibit A, Glossary of Defined Terms to the Settlement and Plan Support Agreement (the “PSA”), to be incorporated in a chapter 11 plan for KFI that is proposed by KFI in consultation with the Committee (the “Plan”) and recommended, accepted, and supported by the Settling Parties, and that resolves all Estate Causes of Action against the Released Parties and is consistent with this Term Sheet.
Estate Claims Settlement Effective Date
The Estate Claims Settlement (as defined in Exhibit A, Glossary of Defined Terms) shall go into effect upon the satisfaction or waiver of the Conditions to Settlement to the Estate Causes of Action set forth below (hereinafter, the “Estate Claims Settlement Effective Date”).
All stays and injunctions in effect in the Chapter 11 Case shall remain in effect until the Effective Date of the Plan (as defined in Exhibit A, Glossary of Defined Terms). Upon the Estate Claims Settlement Effective Date, the release of the Estate Causes of Action against the Released Parties shall go into full force and effect and a channeling injunction shall enjoin the commencement, prosecution, or continuation of the Estate Causes of Action against the Released Parties.
All statutes of limitations pertaining to the Estate Causes of Action against the Released Parties, or any Claims that the Debtor contends are Estate Causes of Action against the Released Parties, shall be tolled until 120 days after the date that the last Guaranteed Cash Payment is due so that they do not expire prior to the Settlement Trust’s receipt of the last Guaranteed Cash Payment. Under the Plan, the Estate Causes of Action against the Released Parties shall be assigned to the Settlement Trust, but may not be commenced, prosecuted, or continued by the Settlement Trust under the channeling injunction absent a payment default that is not timely cured.
If Carrier fails to make the installments of the Guaranteed Cash Payment when due and such failure is not timely cured within 30 days, then (a) the release of the Estate Causes of Action and the channeling injunction enjoining the commencement, prosecution, or continuation of the Estate Causes of Action against the Released Parties are void, and (b) the Settlement Trust shall be entitled to commence, prosecute, or continue all Estate Causes of Action against the Released Parties in any court of competent jurisdiction, and take such other actions as the trustees may determine in the exercise of their fiduciary duties.



Estate Causes of Action Settlement Consideration
Carrier shall pay $540 million to the Settlement Trust (the “Guaranteed Cash Payment”) on account of the resolution, mutual waiver, and full and final release of any and all Estate Causes of Action held by the Estate against the Released Parties (as set forth in the “Releases by the Estate” in Exhibit A), and any and all Claims or Interests held by the Released Parties against the Estate, including, but not limited to, Claims under the Shared Services Agreement. The Released Parties shall have no Claims or Causes of Action against the Settlement Trust and shall be barred from asserting any Claims or Causes of Action against the Settlement Trust or the Bankruptcy Estate.
In addition, as part of the settlement of the Estate Causes of Action against the Released Parties, (a) Carrier and KFI shall enter into one or more agreements in form and substance acceptable to Carrier, KFI, the Committee and the PEC providing for the sharing of the Net Insurance Proceeds (as defined in Exhibit A, Glossary of Defined Terms) as provided in the Section entitled “Insurance,” below, and (b) on the Effective Date, Carrier shall be entitled to: (i) a distribution of the net sale proceeds arising from the sale of KFI’s assets and Carrier’s contributed assets currently held in escrow and any interest accrued thereon (the “Net Sale Proceeds”); (ii) an assignment of KFI’s rights to receive any earnouts paid or payable in connection with such asset sale (it being understood that any earnouts paid to KFI prior to the Effective Date shall be added to the Net Sale Proceeds escrow); and (iii) all remaining cash in the Estate as of the Effective Date net of accrued and unpaid administrative expenses and amounts required to fund the Wind-Down Budget, which shall be reasonably acceptable to all Settling Parties (the “Remaining Estate Funds”); provided, that, if the Remaining Estate Funds were to be exhausted for a reason other than non-compliance with the Wind-Down Budget, KFI shall be entitled to withdraw funds from the Net Sale Proceeds held in escrow in an amount necessary to fund the Wind-Down Budget. To the extent KFI withdraws any such amounts, Carrier shall receive a dollar-for-dollar credit against the next due installment of the Guaranteed Cash Payment. If the Effective Date and Estate Claims Settlement Effective Date do not occur, any amounts withdrawn by KFI from the Net Sale Proceeds shall be deducted from KFI’s allocated portion of the Net Sale Proceeds (as determined by the Bankruptcy Court or pursuant to an agreement with Carrier approved by the Bankruptcy Court after notice and a hearing).
These transactions, together with all other terms and conditions, shall constitute the “Estate Claims Settlement.”
The Guaranteed Cash Payment shall be paid on the following payment schedule:
The earlier of (i) the Effective Date of the Plan or (ii) the one year anniversary of the date of the confirmation of the Plan:
o35% of the Guaranteed Cash Payment (the “First Guaranteed Cash Payment Installment”).
On the one year anniversary of the First Guaranteed Cash Payment Installment
o35% of the Guaranteed Cash Payment
On the two year anniversary of the First Guaranteed Cash Payment Installment
o10% of the Guaranteed Cash Payment
On the three year anniversary of the First Guaranteed Cash Payment Installment
o10% of the Guaranteed Cash Payment
On the four year anniversary of the First Guaranteed Cash Payment Installment
o10% of the Guaranteed Cash Payment
Consistent with the payment schedule set forth above, any installment of the Guaranteed Cash Payment required to be made prior to the Effective Date shall be placed into escrow and such payments, together with all interest accrued while in escrow (to the extent not used to pay fees and expenses of the escrow agent), shall be released to the Estate or the Settlement Trust, as applicable, on the Effective Date. The Plan shall provide that if the Remaining Estate Funds and Net Sale Proceeds were to be exhausted, a portion of the Guaranteed Cash Payment to be released from escrow on the Effective Date will be distributed to the Estate to cover any shortfall with respect to and fund the Wind-Down Budget, in accordance with the Plan. The remaining portion of the Guaranteed Cash Payment, and all subsequent amounts payable by Carrier pursuant to the Estate Claims Settlement, will be paid to the Settlement Trust.
In Carrier’s sole discretion, if the Estate Claims Settlement Effective Date has occurred, the next installment of the Guaranteed Cash Payment due may be satisfied in part by the release to the Settlement Trust of the amounts remaining on deposit in the Net Sale Proceeds escrow, including any earnouts actually received by KFI prior to the Effective Date. If the Estate Claims Settlement Effective Date does not occur, the escrowed installments of the Guaranteed Cash Payment, to the extent they were not funded out of the Net Sale Proceeds, shall be returned to Carrier. Any Remaining Estate Funds or Net Sale Proceeds shall be returned to KFI if the Estate Claims Settlement Effective Date does not occur. 3
3     Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in Exhibit A to the PSA.



PEC Fees
At the election of the PEC reasonably in advance of the hearing to approve the Disclosure Statement for the Plan, KFI shall include in the Plan a common benefit assessment for attorney fees of 8% and reasonable costs in accordance with the AFFF MDL orders in such amount as the PEC, in consultation with the Committee, has determined to be reasonable and in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code, with such assessments to be made by reducing distributions from the Settlement Trust to applicable claimants or classes of claimants. Carrier will not oppose any application by the PEC and/or the Committee for such fees or costs. Neither KFI nor Carrier shall take a contrary position or be required to provide evidentiary support for the reasonableness of the PEC fees and costs as part of the confirmation of the Chapter 11 Case, which support shall be provided by the PEC and/or Committee. Bankruptcy Court approval of any such assessment shall not be a condition to the confirmation of the Plan or the effectiveness of the Estate Claims Settlement. The application for such fees or costs shall be severable from the Plan if not approved by the Bankruptcy Court at the hearing to confirm the Plan (without prejudice to the ability of the PEC to make a substantial contribution or other application after confirmation) and no appeal shall be pursued of any denial of the application of such fees or costs at estate expense.
Estate Retained Causes of Action
On the Effective Date, the Estate Retained Causes of Action shall be contributed to the Settlement Trust under the Plan and Confirmation Order.



Insurance
Upon execution of this Agreement, (i) the Debtor, the Committee, and, only to the extent the Motion to Intervene in Adversary Proceeding [Adv. No. 23-50758; Docket No. 490] has been granted, Carrier shall jointly move to stay the Adversary Proceeding through the Effective Date of the Plan (the “Stay Motion”) and (ii) the Debtor, the Committee, and Carrier shall enter into the Joint Prosecution Agreement to determine their respective rights and obligations in connection with the joint prosecution of any Insurance Actions before the Effective Date, including the prosecution of the Adversary Proceeding, to the extent the Stay Motion is not granted. If the Stay Motion is not granted, the administrative expenses related to the Adversary Proceeding and any other Insurance Action initiated by the Debtor will be paid by the Estate, and will be reimbursed to the Estate from future insurance recoveries before payment of Net Insurance Proceeds to any party. The Joint Prosecution Agreement shall include terms requiring:
a.    written consent from all parties prior to negotiating or executing any settlement agreement with any insurer concerning an Insurance Policy.
b.    written consent from all parties prior to dismissing any insurer from an Insurance Action, or before dismissing any claim against any insurer from an Insurance Action; and
c.    all significant decisions with respect to prosecution of an Insurance Action made collaboratively among the parties. For the avoidance of doubt, this obligation will include a responsibility for each party to collaborate with the others before filing any paper with respect to a dispositive motion.
Upon the Effective Date, the Settlement Trust shall have exclusive right to control and an obligation to use good faith in pursuit of the Insurance Actions, including the exclusive right to initiate, prosecute, defend, control, and resolve all disputes, actions, or proceedings related to any Insurance Policy, subject to Carrier’s Insurance Consent Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, the Settlement Trust’s right to control shall include litigation strategy, conduct of discovery, motion practice, and any and all settlement negotiations with insurers. The Settlement Trust shall bear all costs in connection with the prosecution of Insurance Actions, subject to reimbursement of Insurance Costs.
After reimbursement of Insurance Costs, the proceeds of the Insurance Policies recovered by the Settlement Trust (the “Net Insurance Proceeds”) will be shared as follows:
o50% of all Net Insurance Proceeds shall be paid to Carrier, subject to the last paragraph of this Insurance Settlement Term Sheet provision, and 50% of all Net Insurance Proceeds shall be paid to the Settlement Trust until each of Carrier and the Settlement Trust has received $1.75 billion; thereafter
o20% of all Net Insurance Proceeds shall be paid to Carrier and 80% of all Net Insurance Proceeds shall be paid to the Settlement Trust until Carrier has been paid a total of $2.4 billion (inclusive of the proceeds described in the immediately preceding bullet point); thereafter
o0% of all Net Insurance Proceeds shall be paid to Carrier and 100% of all Net Insurance Proceeds shall be paid to the Settlement Trust after Carrier has been paid a total of $2.4 billion.
The Net Insurance Proceeds will be distributed ratably between the parties in accordance with their respective allocations, as set forth in the term sheet. The first $125 million of Net Insurance Proceeds recovered and payable to Carrier shall be used by Carrier to make an additional payment towards the MDL Class Action Settlements (as defined in Exhibit A, Glossary of Defined Terms) and consistent with: (i) the allocation of the MDL Class Action Settlement Payment (as defined in Exhibit A, Glossary of Defined Terms) to the Water Provider Payment and the Airport Payment; and (ii) the payment schedule described below. If the first $125 million of Net Insurance Proceeds are recovered and paid to Carrier as set forth in the preceding sentence, then the total payment made by Carrier for the MDL Class Action Settlements shall be $315 million.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Net Insurance Proceeds distributable to the Settlement Trust, including the first $125 million of the Net Insurance Proceeds recovered and payable to Carrier, may be subject to a common benefit assessment for attorney fees and reasonable costs as contemplated in the Section entitled “PEC Fees” above.

Plan Administration
The Estate after the Effective Date (“Liquidating Estate”) shall be administered by the board of directors of the post-Effective Date Debtor, which shall be composed of Steve Hannon and Alex Greene (the “Liquidating Trustees”), and vested with sole authority to administer the Liquidating Estate. All Claims other than General Unsecured Claims and AFFF Claims shall be administered by the Liquidating Estate.
Wind-Down Reserve
The Liquidating Estate shall establish and maintain a reserve account to administer the wind-down and dissolution of the Liquidating Estate, including the payment of Allowed Professional Compensation Claims and other costs and expenses of the post-Effective Date Debtor (“Wind-Down Reserve”); provided, that, the Wind-Down Reserve shall be funded consistent with an Estate wind-down budget, which shall provide for the payment of Allowed Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims, Other Priority Claims, Secured Claims, and any other Claims or administrative expenses not being administered by the Settlement Trust, and shall be reasonably acceptable to and shared with all Settling Parties upon request (the “Wind-Down Budget”).
The Wind-Down Reserve shall be funded with the following sources: (a) all Remaining Estate Funds; (b) if the Remaining Estate Funds were to be exhausted, the Net Sale Proceeds in an amount necessary to fund the Wind-Down Budget; provided, that, if the Effective Date and Estate Claims Settlement Effective Date do not occur, any amounts withdrawn by the Debtor from the Net Sale Proceeds shall be deducted from KFI’s allocated portion of the Net Sale Proceeds (as to be determined by the Bankruptcy Court or pursuant to an agreement with Carrier subject to Bankruptcy Court approval); and (c) if the Remaining Estate Funds and Net Sale Proceeds were to be exhausted, a portion of the Guaranteed Cash Payment released on the Effective Date, and after the Effective Date, the remaining Settlement Trust Assets.
The Wind-Down Reserve shall be maintained independent of, and shall not provide funding for, the Settlement Trust(s). Any funds remaining in the Wind-Down Reserve after payment of wind-down costs and expenses shall be transferred to Carrier upon completion of the wind-down of the Liquidating Estate, pursuant to the Estate Claims Settlement.
