"New Non-CDA claims definition = "claims filed by or on behalf of a JPMorgan Entity as agent, for a customer or for a fund that it manages, claims relating to Canary Wharf and claims held from time to time by a JPMorgan entity’s distressed claims trading desk, and any other filed claims that JPMorgan did not assert were covered by LBHI’s August and September 2008 guaranties and security agreements."
"14 “Non-CDA Claims” refers to claims filed by JPMorgan for a customer, as agent, as trustee, in any other representative capacity, or otherwise in respect of which JPMorgan did not assert in the relevant proofs of claim that such claims were secured by the collateral posted by LBHI pursuant to the parent level guaranties at issue in the Avoidance Action."
"“Non-CDA Claims” means any claims filed by JPMorgan for a customer, as agent, as trustee, in any other representative capacity, or otherwise in respect of which JPMorgan did not assert in the relevant proofs of claim that such claims were secured by the collateral posted by LBHI pursuant to its August and September 2008 Guaranties and Security Agreements in favor of JPMorgan."
"MOTION OF THE DEBTORS AND THE COMMITTEE, PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 105(A) AND 363 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE AND RULES 6004 AND 9019 OF THE FEDERAL RULES OF BANKRUPTCY PROCEDURE, FOR APPROVAL OF THE SETTLEMENT TRANSACTION RESOLVING THE TWO HUNDRED TWENTYNINTH OMNIBUS OBJECTION TO JPMORGAN’S ASSET MANAGEMENT FUND CLAIMS (NO LIABILITY, MISCLASSIFIED AND DUPLICATIVE CLAIMS) . . . 3. On or about September 22, 2009, the Funds filed over $710 million of purportedly secured claims against LBHI on the basis that, as “affiliates” of JPMorgan Bank, their claims were guaranteed by LBHI under the September Guaranty and secured by the collateral posted by LBHI in connection therewith. The proofs of claim filed by the Funds included claims for losses related to, among other things, bonds (including claims related to contractually subordinated debt issued by LBHI), unsettled trades, cancelled trades, derivatives unwinds, futures contracts, corporate actions and prime brokerage exposure. 4. On October 26, 2011, Movants filed the Claim Objection seeking a ruling that the Funds were not “affiliates” of JPMorgan Bank and, thus, were not entitled to rely upon the September Agreements as a basis for asserting secured claims against LBHI.1 The Funds filed their opposition on December 16, 2011, and the Movants filed their reply on January 23, 2012. . . . 16. The Movants filed the Claim Objection on October 26, 2011 seeking a ruling that the Funds were not “affiliates” of JPMorgan Bank, as that term is used in the September Agreements, and thus were not entitled to rely upon such agreements as a basis for asserting secured claims against LBHI. 17. As set forth in more detail in the Claim Objection, the Movants argued that in light of the context of the September Agreements, it was overreaching in the extreme to claim that the losses to customers of Funds advised by JPMorgan entities would be covered under LBHI’s pre-bankruptcy guaranty. Movants argued that neither JPMorgan Chase & Co. nor any of its subsidiaries share in the Funds’ profits and losses. Movants posited that “affiliates,” especially in the context of a parent level guaranty, must mean corporations who share controlling ownership and not contractual service advisor or trustee relationships. Moreover, a conclusion that the Funds are “affiliates” of JPMorgan Bank would lead, in the Movants’ view, to absurd results including elevating certain of the Funds’ claims based on subordinated notes to fully secured claims. The Movants argued that this result is contrary to specific indenture provisions governing the treatment of such subordinated notes and that it would be inequitable for the Funds to receive 100% of their claim based on contractuallysubordinated debt while other holders of subordinated debt receive no recovery and senior debt receives pennies on the dollar. . . .
