DEBTORS’ MOTION, PURSUANT TO SECTION 362 OF THE BANKRUPTCY
CODE, FOR AN ORDER MODIFYING THE AUTOMATIC STAY TO ALLOW
ADVANCEMENT UNDER (I) 2007-2008 DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS INSURANCE
POLICIES BY ZURICH AMERCIAN INSURANCE COMPANY, ACE BERMUDA
INSURANCE LTD. AND ST. PAUL MERCURY INSURANCE COMPANY, AND (II)
2008-2009 DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS INSURANCE POLICIES BY XL SPECIALTY
INSURANCE COMPANY AND FEDERAL INSURANCE COMPANY
TO THE HONORABLE JAMES M. PECKUNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY JUDGE:
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“LBHI”) and its affiliated debtors in the above-
referenced chapter 11 cases, as debtors and debtors in possession (together, the “Debtors” and,
collectively with their non-debtor affiliates, “Lehman”), file this Motion and respectfully
represent:
Preliminary Statement
1. On three prior occasions, the Debtors have sought and obtained orders
modifying the automatic stay provided for under section 362(a) of title 11 of the United States
8/8/2019 Lehman Brothers Motion on D.&O. Insurance
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/lehman-brothers-motion-on-do-insurance 5/255
US_ACTIVE:\43530682\07\58399.0003 2
Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), to the extent applicable, to remove any impediments to payment
by certain of the Debtors’ primary and excess insurers of directors’ and officers’ liability of
defense costs and fees that current or former directors, officers and employees of the Debtors
were incurring as defendants in ongoing federal securities lawsuits and regulatory and other
actions and investigations.1
By this Motion, the Debtors seek the entry of a similar form of order
granting relief from the automatic stay with respect to (i) Zurich American Insurance Company
(“Zurich”), ACE Bermuda Insurance Ltd. (“ACE”) and St. Paul Mercury Insurance Co. (“St.
Paul”), the fifth, sixth and seventh excess insurers, respectively, under the Debtors’ 2007-2008
directors and officers liability insurance program (the “2007-2008 D&O Policies”), and (ii) XL
Specialty Insurance Company (“XL”) and Federal Insurance Company (“Chubb”), the primary
and first excess insurers under the Debtors’ 2008-2009 directors and officers liability insurance
program (the “2008-2009 D&O Policies,” together with the 2007-2008 D&O Policies, the “D&O
Policies”).2
2. For Claims3 made against the Individual Defendants (defined below)
during the period from May 16, 2007 to May 16, 2008 (the “2007-2008 D&O Policy Period”),
1 See Orders dated March 25, 2009 [Docket No. 3220] (modifying automatic stay to allow advancementof defense costs with respect to XL Specialty Insurance Co. with respect to the 2007-2008 Policy Period);November 23, 2009 [Docket No. 5906] (modifying the automatic stay to allow advancement of defensecosts with respect to Federal Insurance Co. with respect to the 2007-2008 D&O Policy Period); andAugust 20, 2010 [Docket No. 10945] (modifying the automatic stay to allow advancement of defensecosts with respect to Continental Casualty Co., Certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s London, and U.S.Specialty Insurance Co. with respect to the 2007-2008 D&O Policy Period) (collectively, the “Prior StayOrders”). Concurrently herewith, the Debtors are filing a motion for relief from the automatic stay, to theextent applicable, to permit Certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s, London to advance $10 million of insurance
proceeds for the payment of settlement costs in accordance with a settlement agreement among Alex E.Booth, the Booth Foundation, Inc. and Richard S. Fuld (the “Settlement Advancement Motion”).
2 A copy of the 2007-2008 primary D&O Policy and the Zurich, ACE and St. Paul excess Policies areattached hereto as Exhibits A, B, C and D, respectively. A copy of the 2008-2009 primary D&O Policyand the Chubb excess Policy are attached hereto as Exhibits E and F, respectively.
3 Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the applicable Policies.

the Debtors purchased the primary 2007-2008 D&O Policy from XL plus additional excess
coverage for this period from a number of other carriers of up to $250 million in the aggregate.
The excess policies are all “follow form” policies subject to additional independent terms and
conditions. That is, the terms and conditions of the primary 2007-2008 D&O Policy govern the
terms and conditions of each of the excess 2007-2008 D&O Policies, except that each excess
insurer’s obligations are subject to certain additional terms, such as limits of liability, and attach
only after all Loss within the respective Limits of Liability of the underlying Policies has been
paid.
3.
Similarly, for Claims made against Individual Defendants during the
period from May 16, 2008 to May 16, 2011 (the “2008-2009 D&O Policy Period”),4
the Debtors
purchased the primary 2008-2009 D&O Policy from XL plus additional excess coverage for this
period from a number of other carriers also of up to $250 million in the aggregate. Similar to the
excess 2007-2008 D&O Policies, the excess 2008-2009 D&O Policies generally “follow form”
to the primary 2008-2009 D&O Policy subject to certain additional terms, such as limits of
liabilities, and are triggered only after all Loss within the underlying layers of coverage has been
paid.
4. As noted above, the Court has entered three Prior Stay Orders modifying
the automatic stay to allow for the payment of defense costs and fees by the Debtors’ primary
and first through fourth excess insurers for the 2007-2008 D&O Policy Period providing
coverage of $70 million in the aggregate. In addition, on December 17, 2009, the Court entered
an order modifying the automatic stay to permit the payment of settlement amounts by XL and
4 On June 17, 2010, the Court entered an order granting the Debtors’ motion for authority to purchase anadditional “tail” (or “run-off” period) for the 2008-2009 D&O Policies to extend the period during whichnotice of Claims may be made under the 2008-2009 D&O Policies through May 16, 2011. See DocketNo. 9643.

Chubb under the 2007-2008 D&O Policy totaling $1,675,000. See Docket No. 6297. Due to the
continued state of ongoing legal proceedings as well as the settlement payment that will be made
if the Court approves the Settlement Advancement Motion, it is anticipated that the proceeds
available under those levels of the 2007-2008 D&O Policies for which relief from the automatic
stay, to the extent applicable, has been authorized will be exhausted by approximately the end of
November 2010. Accordingly, the individual Insureds will need to look to the fifth, sixth and
seventh excess insurers for the 2007-2008 D&O Policy Period for coverage, which was procured
pre-petition by the Debtors for the benefit of their directors, officers, and employees.
Collectively, Zurich, ACE and St. Paul provide $55 million in coverage in excess of $70 million
for the 2007-2008 D&O Policy Period.5
5. The insurers for the 2008-2009 D&O Policy Period have recognized
coverage for certain of the Legal Proceedings (defined below). Accordingly, the individual
Insureds will look to XL and Chubb, the primary and first excess insurers, respectively, for the
2008-2009 D&O Policy Period, for payment of legal bills and costs that have been accruing
since approximately May 12, 2009. Collectively, XL and Chubb provide $35 million in
coverage for the 2008-2009 D&O Policy Period.6
6. As with the Prior Stay Orders, the Debtors seek to assure the insurers that
are the subject of this Motion that they can make payment of directors and officers coverage of
defense costs and fees without concern that, if the automatic stay is otherwise applicable, they
are violating the automatic stay. Granting the relief requested by this Motion is unlikely to have
5 Specifically, Zurich provides coverage of $15 million in excess of $70 million, ACE provides coverageof $25 million in excess of $85 million and St. Paul provides coverage of $15 million in excess of $110million.
6 Specifically, XL provides coverage of an initial $20 million and Chubb provides coverage of $15million in excess of $20 million.

any adverse effect on the Debtors’ estates and creditors because the interests of the Debtors, if
any, in the proceeds of the D&O Policies is expressly subordinate to the interest of the individual
Insureds. Specifically, the applicable insurance policies provide that the Debtors have rights to
the insurance proceeds only after the insured individuals are fully reimbursed for any “Loss,”
including defense costs. In addition, confirming the insurers’ ability to pay such defense costs
and fees is in the best interests of the Debtors because it will avoid the possible collateral
estoppel effect on the Debtors that could result if the individual Insureds’ inability to defend
themselves were to give rise to judgments and findings that impacted direct claims against the
Debtors or to indemnification claims against the Debtors.
Background
7. Commencing on September 15, 2008 and periodically thereafter (as
applicable, the “Commencement Date”), LBHI and certain of its subsidiaries commenced with
this Court voluntary cases under the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors’ chapter 11 cases have been
consolidated for procedural purposes only and are being jointly administered pursuant to Rule
1015(b) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”). The Debtors
are authorized to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors in possession
pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.
8. On September 17, 2008, the United States Trustee for the Southern
District of New York (the “U.S. Trustee”) appointed the statutory committee of unsecured
creditors pursuant to section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code.
9. On September 19, 2008, a proceeding was commenced under the
Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) with respect to Lehman Brothers Inc.
(“LBI”). A trustee appointed under SIPA is administering LBI’s estate.

US_ACTIVE:\43530682\07\58399.0003 6
10. On January 19, 2009, the U.S. Trustee appointed Anton R. Valukas as
examiner in the above-captioned chapter 11 cases (the “Examiner”) and by order, dated January
20, 2009 [Docket No. 2583] the Court approved the U.S. Trustee’s appointment of the Examiner.
On March 11, 2010, the Examiner filed its report with the Court (the “Examiner’s Report”)
[Docket No. 7531].
11. On April 14, 2010, the Debtors filed their revised joint chapter 11 plan
[Docket No. 8330] and disclosure statement for their revised joint chapter 11 plan pursuant to
section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code [Docket No. 8332].
Jurisdiction
12. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction to consider and determine this
matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1334. This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b).
Lehman’s Business
13. Additional information regarding the Debtors’ businesses, capital
structures, and the circumstances leading to the commencement of these chapter 11 cases is
contained in the Affidavit of Ian T. Lowitt Pursuant to Rule 1007-2 of the Local Bankruptcy
Rules for the Southern District of New York in Support of First-Day Motions and Applications,
filed on September 15, 2008 [Docket No. 2].
Relief Requested
14. The Debtors request the entry of an order granting relief from the
automatic stay provided for in section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent that it
applies, to allow payments and/or advancements by (i) Zurich, ACE and St. Paul for the 2007-
2008 D&O Policy Period, and (ii) XL and Chubb for the 2008-2009 D&O Policy Period of
Defense Expenses that are, or will become, owing to the Individual Defendants pursuant to the
terms of their respective policies. The Debtors further request that the Court waive the

US_ACTIVE:\43530682\07\58399.0003 7
requirements of Bankruptcy Rule 4001(a)(3) and direct that the order granting the requested
relief be effective immediately.
The Debtors’ Directors and Officers Liability Insurance Policies
15. Pursuant to their advancement and indemnification obligations expressed
in their by-laws and certificate of incorporation, the Debtors purchased primary and excess
directors and officers liability (“D&O”) insurance, which provides coverage for the Debtors’
current and former officers, directors, and employees in connection with civil, criminal,
regulatory and other actions and investigations. As noted above, for Claims made against the
Individual Defendants during the 2007-2008 D&O Policy Period, the Debtors purchased the
primary 2007-2008 D&O Policy and sixteen excess D&O Policies providing, in the aggregate,
$250 million in D&O coverage. Similarly, for Claims made against the Individual Defendants
during the 2008-2009 D&O Policy Periods, the Debtors purchased the primary 2008-2009 D&O
Policy and seventeen excess D&O Policies providing, in the aggregate, $250 million in D&O
Coverage. Additionally, the Debtors have received authority to purchase a one-year “tail” or
“run-off” extension of the 2008-2009 D&O Policies, extending the period during which notice of
claims may be made under 2008-2009 D&O Policies from May 16, 2010 through and including
May 16, 2011. See Docket No. 9643.
16. Subject to their terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions, the 2007-
2008 D&O Policies and the 2008-2009 D&O Policies cover Loss (including Defense Expenses,
settlements and judgments, among other things) incurred as a result of Claims made during the
Policy Period for Wrongful Acts allegedly committed by the Individual Defendants in their
capacity as directors, officers or employees of LBHI and its subsidiaries. Coverage under
Insuring Agreement (A) for non-indemnifiable loss (“Side A”) of the D&O Policies is
immediately available to Insured Persons, which includes certain of the Debtors’ present and

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/lehman-brothers-motion-on-do-insurance 11/255
US_ACTIVE:\43530682\07\58399.0003 8
former officers, directors, and employees, for any Loss resulting from Claims made under the
D&O Policies that is not otherwise advanced or indemnified by the Debtors by reason of their
financial insolvency.
17. Furthermore, both the 2007-2008 D&O Policies and the 2008-2009 D&O
Policies contain “Priority of Payments” provisions, which provide that when competing claims
for coverage under both Side A, as described above, and Insuring Agreement (B) (covering
indemnifiable Claims made against present and former officers, directors and employees) are
made, “the Insurer shall pay that Loss, if any, which the Insurer may be liable to pay on behalf of
the Insured Persons under Insuring Agreement (A)… .” See 2007-2008 D&O Policies,
Endorsement 22; 2008-2009 D&O Policies, Endorsement 11. Thus, each of the D&O Policies,
by virtue of Insuring Agreement A and the Priority of Payments clauses, provides for the
immediate payment of the Individual Defendants’ Defense Expenses ahead of any payment that
may be made to the Debtors.
The Legal Proceedings
18. Certain former and current directors, officers, and employees of the
Debtors (collectively, the “Individual Defendants”) are defendants in one or more of multiple
civil actions brought on behalf of purported classes and individuals and/or are within the scope
of certain arbitrations or criminal, regulatory or other investigations (collectively, the “Legal
Proceedings”) described below. Though Debtors were named as defendants in some of the Legal
Proceedings, they are not participating in those proceedings pursuant to the automatic stay.
19. Both prior to and after the collapse of the Lehman enterprise in September
2008, various securities actions were commenced against certain officers and directors in both
federal and state court. Many of these actions assert, among other claims, violations of sections
10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and sections 11, 12 and 15 of the
8/8/2019 Lehman Brothers Motion on D.&O. Insurance
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/lehman-brothers-motion-on-do-insurance 12/255
US_ACTIVE:\43530682\07\58399.0003 9
Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), and arise from various alleged wrongful actions of
certain Individual Defendants in connection with securities issued by LBHI. Most of these
actions have been consolidated at least for pre-trial purposes before the Honorable Lewis Kaplan
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. A second set of
actions alleging violations of sections 11, 12, and 15 of the Securities Act arise from alleged
wrongful actions of certain of the Individual Defendants in connection with the plaintiffs’
purchase of mortgage-backed securities. These actions have been consolidated and are also
before Judge Kaplan. There are additional actions, investigations and arbitrations against certain
Individual Defendants arising out of Lehman-issued securities, auction-rate securities, issues
common to the class actions and other alleged conduct of the Individual Defendants, asserting
claims under the federal securities laws, various state laws and/or common law, and arising from
various allegedly wrongful actions of certain of the Individual Defendants.
20. Additionally, both the United States Department of Justice (by and
through the United States Attorney’s Offices for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New
York, and for the District of New Jersey) as well as the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission and the New Jersey Bureau of Securities, have commenced formal grand jury and
regulatory investigations concerning the circumstances surrounding the collapse of the Lehman
enterprise and have issued various requests and subpoenas to both the Debtors and various
Individual Defendants.
21. In connection with the Legal Proceedings, the Individual Defendants have
incurred and will continue to incur Defense Expenses. Prior to the Commencement Date, in the
ordinary course of business and pursuant to the terms of their by-laws, the Debtors indemnified
and covered their officers and directors for defense costs incurred in legal proceedings.

US_ACTIVE:\43530682\07\58399.0003 10
Subsequent to the Commencement Date, however, the Debtors have been unable to continue to
advance defense costs to the Individual Defendants. That is why the Debtors sought the Prior
Stay Orders and why they have filed the Settlement Advancement Motion. As noted above,
however, the existing layers of D&O coverage for which stay relief has been authorized under
the 2007-2008 D&O Policies have been, or will shortly become, exhausted. Thus, the
obligations of Zurich, ACE and St. Paul for the 2007-2008 D&O Policy Period will soon be
triggered. Similarly, because XL and Chubb have recognized coverage for certain of the Legal
Proceedings for the 2008-2009 D&O Policy Period, the Individual Defendants will be looking to
XL and Chubb for payment of their outstanding defenses costs and fees under the 2008-2009
D&O Policies. Accordingly, the Debtors are seeking the relief requested herein to ensure that
the Individual Defendants will continue to have access to funding of additional defense costs
under, and consistent with, the terms of the respective policies of these insurers.
Cause Exists to Grant the Relief Requested
22. Pursuant to the Prior Stay Orders, this Court has granted relief that is
identical to the relief sought in this Motion, based on rights and obligations vis-à-vis the Debtors
and Individual Defendants that are governed by the same terms and conditions. Accordingly,
because cause to modify the automatic stay to allow for the advancement of insurance proceeds
to pay defense costs was found to exist in the Prior Stay Orders, a fortiori, such cause exists here
as well. If, however, the Debtors must independently demonstrate that such cause exists, as
described below, it is beyond peradventure that such a modification of the automatic stay is
warranted.

238 B.R. 9, 18 (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. 1999) (holding that circumstances that may give rise to entity
coverage were highly remote and therefore proceeds were not property of estate).
24. In determining whether proceeds are property of the estate, courts review
the “language and scope of the policy at issue.” Allied Digital, 306 B.R. at 509. See also In re
CyberMedica, Inc., 280 B.R. 12, 16 (Bankr. D. Mass. 2002); In re Jones, 179 B.R. 450, 455
(Bankr. E.D. Pa. 1995) (respective rights of debtors and non-debtors to insurance proceeds “must
be ascertained by reference to the parties’ contractual rights pursuant to the interpretation of the
pertinent contractual provisions under applicable state law”).
25.
Here, the 2007-2008 D&O Policies and the 2008-2009 D&O Policies
contain unambiguous priority of payment provisions that expressly subordinate any potential
rights of the Debtors to proceeds payable under the policies to the rights of the Individual
Defendants. The priority of payment endorsements are enforceable contractual provisions and
should be upheld for the benefit of the Individual Defendants as intended. See In re Enron
Corp., Case No. 01-16034 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Apr. 11, 2002) [Docket No. 3278] (holding that
priority of payment provision was an enforceable contractual right).7
26. Consistent with the purpose of such policies, the Debtors purchased the
2007-2008 D&O Policies and 2008-2009 D&O Policies primarily to provide insurance coverage
to their officers and directors, including the Individual Defendants. See In re First Cent. Fin.
Corp., 238 B.R. 9, 16 (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. 1999) (“In essence and at its core, a D&O Policy
remains a safeguard of officer and director interests and not a vehicle for corporate protection.”).

contractual subordination provision, should not alter the conclusion that the proceeds should not
constitute property of the Debtors’ estates.
B. Cause Exists to Modify the Automatic Stay, to the Extent
That it Applies, to Allow Payment of Defense Costs Under the Policies.
27. Even if the proceeds of the policies are determined to be property of the
estate, “cause” exists under section 362(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code to modify the automatic
stay to allow the payment of defense costs under the applicable policies. It is not uncommon for
courts to grant stay relief to allow payment of defense costs or settlement costs to directors and
officers, especially when there is no evidence that direct coverage of the debtor will be
necessary. See Allied Digital, 306 B.R. at 513.
28. Allowing the insurers to advance defense costs and fees to the Individual
Defendants will, in fact, benefit the Debtors’ estates. The Legal Proceedings are highly complex.
If the Individual Defendants are not adequately represented, it is foreseeable that a finding of
wrongdoing or liability against the Individual Defendants may be used, or attempted to be used,
to judicially prejudice or prosecute claims against the Debtors. Granting the requested relief will
also alleviate the Individual Defendants’ concern that they will personally be liable for their own
defense costs.
29. Additionally, the Debtors believe that they have an obligation under their
by-laws to advance the defense costs and fees incurred by the Individual Defendants. In
connection with the Legal Proceedings, the Individual Defendants have and will continue to
incur significant defense costs, which, if unsatisfied, may potentially be asserted by some or all
of the Individual Defendants against the Debtors’ estates.8
Consequently, coverage of the
8 Certain of the Individual Defendants have filed protective proofs of claim against the Debtors.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/lehman-brothers-motion-on-do-insurance 17/255
US_ACTIVE:\43530682\07\58399.0003 14
Individual Defendants under the Policies will reduce or eliminate the claims that the Individual
Defendants could assert against the Debtors.
30. Modifying the automatic stay will not harm the Debtors’ estates. As
explained above, any rights the Debtors have to the proceeds of the D&O Policies are
contractually subordinated to the rights of the Individual Defendants pursuant to the priority of
payments clauses. In addition, at this time, the Debtors’ need for coverage is speculative given
that the Debtors are not making advancements to the Individual Defendants during the chapter 11
cases for their defense costs.
31.
Accordingly, the Debtors respectfully submit that there are no legal
impediments to the direct payment or advancement by the Insurers under their respective D&O
Policies to the Individual Defendants for their costs of defense. Alternatively, if this Court finds
that the Debtors have some interest in the proceeds of the D&O Policies, the Debtors submit that
any such interest is nominal and in any event cannot be determined until the Individual
Defendants’ losses have been quantified and paid. Advancing the Individual Defendants’
defense costs pursuant to the D&O Policies is necessary to minimize those losses. Accordingly,
cause exists to modify the automatic stay pursuant to section 362(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, to
the extent it applies, to allow the Zurich, ACE, St. Paul, XL and Chubb to immediately
commence payment of outstanding and ongoing defense costs incurred by the Individual
Defendants pursuant to the terms and conditions of their respective D&O Policies.
32. In making this motion, the Debtors, the Individual Defendants and the
Insurers are not waiving any of their respective rights under the D&O Policies. In addition, the
Debtors are not seeking an advance determination of the insurers’ obligations to pay any
particular expense or claim of the Individual Defendants. Rather, the Debtors seek only the entry

of an order modifying the automatic stay, to the extent applicable, to allow these insurers to
fulfill their obligations, whatever they may be, to pay Defense Expenses of the Individual
Defendants under the terms of the respective D&O Policies, including amounts incurred both pre
and post-petition, if and when they arise.
Waiver of Bankruptcy Rule 4001(a)(3)
33. To facilitate a smooth transition and avoid any interruption in coverage,
the Debtors request that the order granting the Motion be effective immediately.

THE COURT: Please be seated.
All right. My recollection, if I
left something out 1'11 have to go back in and get
some more papers, but my recollection is that
there are three decisions I have to read into the
record: One, the schedules; two, exclusivity; and
three, the D&0 insurance issue.
Was there anything else that I
reserved on this morning?
All right. 1'11 deal first with
exclusivity and then 1'11 read a decision with
respect to the D&O. And when I deal with
exclusivity, 1'11 deal as well with the schedules.
Cause exists to extend the Debtors
exclusive periods as to all the Debtors.
With respect to ENA, the Court will
do the following: One, extend ENA's exclusive
period to August 31st, 2002 ; two, sua sponte
expand the ENA Examiner's role to that of the
facilitator of a plan in the ENA case and direct
him to file a report regarding the status of those
efforts including a recommendation as to any
further extension of ENA's exclusivity; three,
such report shall be filed on or before July 26 ,

2 2002.
3 With respect to the other Enron
4 Debtors, the exclusive period is extended as
5 requested by the Debtor and the Committee for the
6 six-month period sought.
7 With respect to the schedules, the
8 Court grants the Debtors' request for the
9 additional 60 days and the related relief sought.

And the Debtor is to serve an order with respect
to both of those issues, and obviously settle it
upon the ENA Examiner with respect to the
exclusivity issue.
Regarding the AEGIS motion and the
outside directors. Concerning the motions filed
by AEGIS and the outside directors to lift the
automatic stay to allow AEGIS to pay amounts under
the AEGIS D&O Policy and the AEGIS Fiduciary and
Employee Benefit Liability Policy, first, as set
20 forth by the Movants, their motion to lift the
21 stay is the procedurally correct method to have
22 this matter presented to the Court.
23 Therefore, currently at issue is
24 the payment of the defense costs incurred by the
25 officers and directors.

The D&O Policy provides for
coverage of the directors and officers,
indemnification coverage for the Debtor, and
entity coverage for the Debtor.
Pursuant to the terms of the D&O
Policy, the directors have a right to advancement
of defense costs under a priority of payments
endorsement.
The Debtors' entity coverage and
its indemnification coverage are expressly
subordinated to the rights of the directors and
officers under the AEGIS D&0 policy.
As the Debtors' property rights are
defined by state law, it is that law that governs
the contractual obligation; thus, any directors
and officers currently due defense costs covered
by the policy must be paid from the proceeds of
the policy first. The Debtors are then entitled
to have their own claims for defense costs paid.
The Debtors note the importance of
providing the officers and directors with this
type of coverage. The Debtors assert that the
Debtor, itself, is entitled to currently-due
defense costs and will seek payment once the

2 directors and officers receive payments for the
3 amounts currently due them.
4 with respect to the payment of
5 officers and directors' defense costs, to the
6 extent that any such payments would negatively
7 impact the Debtors' interest in the proceeds of
8 the D&O policy, that result is dictated by the

negotiated terms of the policy.
As certain officers and directors
may have present rights to payment of defense
costs, the fact that certain parties may in the
future assert claims and potentially become
entitled to payment from the insurance policies
does not,preclude those who are currently entitled
to payment from receiving it.
In any case, the parties are bound
by the contractual provisions of the policy. The
Debtors' interest in the policy is limited by its
contractual provisions including a priority
advancement and payment obligations contained in
those policies. The Court cannot rewrite the
provisions of the contract.
The Objectants acknowledge the
terms of the contract. Some of the Objectants

argue that because AEGIS and the outside directors
are seeking to invoke this Court's jurisdiction
concerning the lifting of the stay, that gives
this Court leeway to set conditions upon which the
stay would be lifted. However, in this case, any
such action would result in changing the terms of
the contract.
The Court finds that, while
exercising jurisdiction concerning the issue of
lifting the stay, it should not exercise
jurisdiction over the terms of the contract and
will not interfere with those terms.
Under the AEGIS Fiduciary Policy,
the coverage afforded the relevant Debtors is
co-extensive with the coverage afforded the
individual insureds. However, that policy
provides a special $10 million fund earmarked for
defense costs.
Payment from that fund will protect
the coverage that is available for payment of
settlements and judgements. Moreover, payment
from the special funds requires written approval
from the Debtor. These two aspects protect the
Debtors' interest.

In addition, the Debtors have
referenced the estates' interest in having
individual defendants vigorously defend themselves
in light of the potential for vicarious liability.
The Debtors also have asserted that
the payment of the individual claimants' defense
cost from the special $10 million fund should not
limit the availability of proceeds that may be
required by the Debtor.
Based upon the pleadings filed and
the record of this hearing, the Court finds that
because of the entity coverage, the stay is
implicated. However, the Debtors' interest appear
minimal.
Moreover, the Debtors' interest
should not be expanded by this Court. They should
receive no greater protection than their contract
rights afford them.
The Court finds cause to lift the
stay and grant the motion to permit the parties to
exercise their contractual rights under the D&O
Policy.
In addition, the Court grants the
motion to lift the automatic stay to the extent
