Diamond:Don't forget the Backdoor action of this..

soon as practicable thereafter, and without the need for any further action, the Reorganized
Debtors may (i) cause either or both of the Reorganized Debtors to be merged, dissolved, or
otherwise consolidated, (ii) cause the transfer of assets between or among the Reorganized
Debtors, or (iii) engage in any other transaction in furtherance of the Plan.
Weil is wanting to get everything approved, so they can merge the new WMI into another company, possibly JPM the next day after effective date. Then they put this in..
Dissolution of the Equity Committee: On the first (1st) Business Day
following the Effective Date, the Equity Committee shall be dissolved and the members thereof
shall be released and discharged of and from all further authority, duties, responsibilities, and
obligations related to and arising from and in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, and the
retention or employment of the Equity Committee’s attorneys, financial advisors, and other
agents, if any, shall terminate other than for purposes of filing and prosecuting applications for
final allowances of compensation for professional services rendered and reimbursement of
expenses incurred in connection therewit.
Then to try and Seal the Deal, they add this.

Weil has now done what Weil was hired to do and that is get the money for the creditors and control of new company. In their opinion WMI and WMI Investment was basically an insolvent corpse and they are going to push it into solvency with a new reorganized stock that can be purchased if there is any leftover for purchase. Dime shareholders got screwed also.
Next Up: VENABLE !! Solomon can produce valuations that allow A>L and therefore the control of WMI goes to EC. That would be bad for Weil, because they would be fired and litigation of case goes to Venable. It also would prove that Rosen kept A<L, so he could leave control of WMI in Secured Bondholders hands. I think there is an ethical clause in the bar contract that expressly forbids this type of behavior. We'll let Bop, Mordicai or whomever chime in on this one.
