RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WITH ENRON
This Resolution and Authorization to Enter Into Settlement Agreement (the
“Agreement”) is entered into this _16th__ day of _March_ 2006, by the Governing
Board of the _RIO HONDO_ Community College District (hereinafter the “District”) in
favor of the Community College League of California (hereinafter the “League”) (the
“District,” together with the League, the “Parties,” and each a “Party”), with
respect to the global settlement of the claims and counter-claims set forth in the
lawsuit brought by Enron Energy Marketing Corp. (“Enron”) against the District and
certain other California community college districts in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York (Adv. Action No. 05-01242-AJG) (the
“Trading Claim Litigation”).
RECITALS: In light of the competing claim amounts at issue between the District
and Enron, the complexity of the legal and factual issues remaining to be resolved,
the expense and uncertainty of further litigation, and for the reasons set forth in the
memorandum from the League to the District entitled Information on Terms of
Settlement Reached with Enron (“Settlement Memorandum”), the District believes it
is in its best interests to fully and finally resolve the District’s disputes with Enron by
consummating the settlement agreement negotiated by the League with Enron.
Accordingly, the League and the District agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1.
The District Resolves and Approves Participation in the Settlement
Agreement: By this Resolution, the District hereby approves and agrees to (a) enter
into and to be fully bound by the terms of the global settlement reached by and
between the League and Enron (“Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release”, a
copy of which is enclosed), which provides in part that, in exchange for the District’s
complete waiver and release of claims against Enron, Enron will release the District
from any and all liability in the Trading Claim Litigation; and (b) to fully participate in
the “true up” process set forth in the Settlement Memorandum (enclosed).
2.
The District has Taken the Required Actions to Approve the Settlement
Agreement: The District certifies that it has received the Settlement Memorandum
and the Settlement Agreement, that it is authorized to enter into the Settlement
Agreement and that by adopting this Resolution it has taken any and all steps
necessary to approve the Settlement Agreement and its participation in the “true up”
process set forth in the Settlement Memorandum, including, but not limited to
obtaining all necessary approvals of the District’s Governing Board. The Governing
Board hereby delegates to its chief executive officer or designee the authority to sign
this Resolution on its behalf.
15
3.
The District Authorizes the League to Act on the District’s Behalf: The
District expressly grants and delegates to the League, through Ray Giles, the Interim
Vice President of Operations of the League, authority (and to the extent necessary,
limited power of attorney) to execute the Settlement Agreement with Enron on the
District’s behalf, to execute any other documents contemplated therein and to take
any other actions to consummate the Settlement Agreement. The scope of the
District’s authorization is limited to the consummation of the Settlement Agreement,
and the District expressly waives any and all claims against the League and Ray
Giles arising from or related to any act undertaken within the scope of this
authorization.
4.
The District Agrees to Perform According to the “True-Up” Procedures:
In order to achieve fairness between those districts holding claims against Enron
and those districts that owe Enron receivables, the District understands and
acknowledges the requirements of the equitable “True-Up” process set forth in the
Settlement Memorandum according to which the districts entering into the
Settlement Agreement shall either pay into or receive from the League’s Settlement
Escrow Account the amounts designated in the Bankruptcy Settlement True Up
Schedule (enclosed) . For the benefit of all districts named in the Trading Claim
Litigation, the District hereby expressly agrees to comply with the “True-Up” process
and to pay any amounts due as indicated in the Bankruptcy Settlement True Up
Schedule to the League’s Settlement Escrow Account within ten (10) business days
of the District’s execution of this Agreement.
5.
Participation in the “True-Up” Process is a Pre-Requisite to Entering
into The Settlement Agreement: The District expressly acknowledges and agrees
that it may not participate in nor receive the benefit of the Settlement Agreement and
the dismissal of the Trading Claim Litigation unless it agrees to participate in the
True-Up process and make the payments as set forth in the Bankruptcy Settlement
True Up Schedule, if any.
6.
Miscellaneous:
(a)
Entire Agreement: This Agreement, the Settlement Agreement,
and the Settlement Memorandum set forth the entire agreement between the
Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior and contemporaneous agreements.
(b)
Governing Law: This Agreement is to be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, except where
superseded by federal bankruptcy law.
(c) Execution: This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or
electronic signature followed by delivery of the original executed Agreement.
16
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the District has executed this Agreement as of the
day and year first above written.
