MOTION OF OFFICIAL COMMITTEE OF UNSECURED CREDITORS OF


LEHMAN BROTHERS HOLDINGS INC., ET AL., PURSUANT TO
11 U.S.C. § 105(a) AND HAGUE CONVENTION (28 U.S.C. § 1781), FOR
LETTERS OF REQUEST FOR INTERNATIONAL JUDICIAL ASSISTANCE

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the “Committee”)

appointed in the above-captioned chapter 11 cases of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.

(“LBHI”) and its affiliated debtors and debtors in possession (collectively, the “Lehman

Debtors”), by and through its undersigned counsel, hereby files this Motion (the

“Motion”), pursuant to section 105(a) of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§

101-1532 (as amended, the "Bankruptcy Code"), and the Hague Convention of 18 March

1970 on the taking of Evidence Abroad in Civil or Commercial Matters, 28 U.S.C. §


1781 (the "Hague Convention"), for the issuance of two Letters of Request for

International Judicial Assistance in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the “Letters of

Request”) to the High Court of Justice of England and Wales (the "U.K. Court") to

compel the production of documents by the following entities located in the United

Kingdom: the Financial Services Authority (“FSA”), Barclays' regulator, and

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited

(collectively “PwC”), Barclays' auditors. In support of the Motion, the Committee

respectfully states as follows:1

I. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

1. As the Court is aware, the parties currently are conducting

discovery in connection with the Committee's Rule 60(b) Motion and those filed by the

Lehman Debtors and the SIPA Trustee2 seeking relief from the Court's September 19,

2008 Sale Order. The Committee intends to propound document discovery on two

entities located in the United Kingdom: the FSA and PwC, and, to that end, requests that

the Court issue the accompanying Letters of Request to the U.K. Court. The reasons for

issuance of the Letters of Request are simple and straightforward. Both the FSA and

1
The Lehman Debtors and the SIPA Trustee have reviewed, and both join in the Motion with
respect to the FSA; LBHI also joins in the Motion with respect to PwC.
2
Motion Of Official Committee Of Unsecured Creditors Of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., et
al., Pursuant To 11 U.S.C. § 105(a), Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b), And Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9024, For
Relief From Order Under 11 U.S.C. §§ 105(a), 363, And 365 And Federal Rules Of
Bankruptcy Procedure 2002, 6004 And 6006 Authorizing And Approving (A) Sale Of
Purchased Assets Free And Clear Of Liens And Other Interests And (B) Assumption And
Assignment Of Executory Contracts And Unexpired Leases, Dated September 20, 2008 (And
Related SIPA Sale Order) And Joinder In Debtors’ And SIPA Trustee’s Motions For An
Order Under Rule 60(b) To Modify Sale Order (the “Committee Rule 60(b) Motion,” and,
with the Rule 60(b) Motions filed by the Lehman Debtors and the SIPA Trustee, the "Rule
60(b) Motions"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Committee Rule 60(b) Motion.

2
PwC possess documents that are highly relevant to the prosecution of the Rule 60(b)

Motions that cannot otherwise be obtained, especially considering that the FSA and PwC

are beyond the reach of the Court's subpoena power and, to date, Barclays has not

produced (or agreed to produce) documents from its regulators and auditors that have

been requested by the Lehman Debtors.

2. The import of the narrowly tailored list of documents identified in

the Letters of Request to the prosecution of the Rule 60(b) Motions cannot be overstated.

On the eve of bankruptcy, specifically during the weekend of September 13, 2008 and

September 14, 2008, Barclays bid to purchase all or a portion of Lehman Brothers

("Barclays' Initial Bid"). At the eleventh hour, however, the FSA withheld approval of

Barclay's Initial Bid on Sunday, September 14, 2008. Lehman Brothers promptly

thereafter sought bankruptcy protection (the next day), on Monday, September 15, 2008.

Four days later, this Court approved Barclays acquisition of the North American broker-

dealer business through a section 363 sale -- less than one week after the FSA withheld

approval for Barclays’ Initial Proposal.

3. The Rule 60(b) Motions assert, among other things, that the Sale

Transaction represented to the Court at the Sale Hearing differed dramatically from the

transaction ultimately consummated because Barclays acquired billions of dollars in

additional assets without disclosing relevant information to the Court. Specifically, the

motions allege Barclays' significantly greater return bears no resemblance to the

supposedly "flat" transaction presented to the Court where liabilities assumed either

equaled or exceeded acquired assets. Instead, Barclays' 2008 Results Announcement

reveals Barclays realized a sizeable gain, i.e., "£ 2,262m relating to Lehman Brothers

North American business." Accordingly, the information requested from PwC and the

3
FSA is highly relevant to prosecution of the Rule 60(b) Motions and the Sale

Transaction.3

II. BACKGROUND

4. On September 16, 2008, the Lehman Sellers filed a motion seeking

approval of the Sale Transaction. The Sale hearing commenced on Friday evening,

September 19, 2008. At that time, the Court was advised of a transaction, consisting of

the transfer of liabilities totaling $45.5 billion (plus $4.25 billion of cure and

compensation liabilities) and the transfer of assets totaling $47.4 billion. The court

entered the Sale Order on September 20, 2008, and the Sale Transaction closed on

Monday, September 22, 2008. On or about February 8, 2009, Barclays plc issued its

Results Announcement (a copy of the relevant portions of which is annexed hereto as

Exhibit B) (the "Results Announcement") stating, among other things, that Barclays

realized a gain of "£ 2,262m relating to Lehman Brothers North American business." i.e.,

nearly $4.2 billion at the then-prevailing exchange rate. See Ex. B at p. 3, 7, 29. PwC

reviewed and agreed with the Results Announcement.4

3
The Committee currently does not seek authority to compel deposition testimony from either
the FSA or PwC, but reserves any and all rights to later request such testimony, either
pursuant to the Hague Convention, Rule 28 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, or
otherwise.
4
See Ex. B at ii ("The Listing Rules of the U.K. Listing Authority … require that preliminary
unaudited statements of annual results must be agreed with the listed company's auditors prior
to publication, even though an audit opinion has not yet been issued. In addition, the Listing
Rules requires such statements to give details to the nature of any likely modification that
may be contained in the auditor's report to be included with the annual report and accounts.
Barclays PLC confirms that it has agreed this preliminary statement of annual results with
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and that the Board of Directors has not been made aware of any
likely modification to the auditors' report to be included with the annual report and accounts
for the year ended 31 December 2008").

4
5. In connection with their investigation into the Sale Transaction, the

Lehman Debtors, on or about April 13, 2009, requested that Barclays provide, among

other things, documents concerning public statements and public filings regarding the

Sale Transaction, the amounts, type and value of assets and liabilities acquired and

assumed, and the profits and benefits Barclays received or expects to receive as a result

of the Sale Transaction. The Lehman Debtors repeated that request when serving

additional requests following the Court's grant of their motion to initiate formal, Rule

2004 discovery against Barclays in June 2009.5

6. On or about September 15, 2009, the Committee, the Lehman

Debtors and the SIPA Trustee filed the Rule 60(b) Motions. After filing the Rule 60(b)

Motions, the parties (i.e., the Committee, the Lehman Debtors and the SIPA Trustee)

negotiated the Scheduling Order,6 which contemplates document production and

deposition discovery through March 2010, oral argument on the Rule 60(b) Motions and

Barclays' objections in March 2010, and a trial (if directed by the Court) in April 2010.

The Letters of Request seek specifically identified documents from the FSA and PwC:

• With respect to the FSA:

o Barclays’ application for regulatory approval of the Initial Barclays’


Purchase Proposal.

o The FSA analysis of Barclays' application for regulatory approval of


the Initial Barclays’ Purchase Proposal.

5
Copies of the April 13, 2009 letter and the subsequent June 2009 request appear annexed
hereto as Exhibit C.
6
Scheduling Order Concerning Certain Motions Filed By LBHI, SIPA Trustee And Creditor's
Committee, dated on or about October 27, 2009 (the "Scheduling Order"), a copy of which is
attached as Exhibit D.

5
o The FSA response to Barclays' application for regulatory approval of
the Initial Barclays’ Purchase Proposal.

o The FSA's final evaluation of the Initial Barclays' Purchase Proposal.

o The FSA internal notes of the meeting between Barclays and the FSA
on 22 September 2008 regarding the Sale Transaction, and copies of
all documents referred to therein.

o The response received by the FSA from Barclays to the letter sent by
Mark Wharton (Manager, FSA) to Barclays dated 23 September 2008,
and the ensuing correspondence between Barclays and the FSA.

o The correspondence between from Barclays and the FSA setting out
the impact of (i) the Sale Transaction; or (ii) the December Settlement
on Barclays’ compliance with the Capital Adequacy Directive
(2006/49/EC).

o The correspondence between Barclays and the FSA referring to the


expected profit/loss margin on the Sale Transaction in the dates from
16 September 2008 until the FSA approval of the Sale Transaction.

o The FSA evaluation of the results reported in the Results


Announcement.

o The FSA final evaluation of the Sale Transaction and the FSA’s
analysis of the Sale Transaction.

• With respect to PwC, the audit working papers in PwC's audit file:

o The audit working papers in PwC's Barclays audit file referring to any
gain or loss Barclays had on the Sale Transaction, including the
December Settlement.

o The audit working papers in PwC's Barclays audit file referring to the
identity of the assets Barclays received in the Sale Transaction,
including by means of the December Settlement.

o The audit working papers in PwC's Barclays audit file supporting or


refuting the statement at page 95 of the Results Announcement that
“[t]he excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over
consideration paid resulted in £2,262m of gains on acquisition.”

6
o The audit working papers in PwC's Barclays audit file setting out the
accounting underpinning (1) the decision to enter the Sale Transaction;
and (2) the description of the Sale Transaction in the Results
Announcement.

o The audit working papers in PwC's Barclays audit file setting out the
accounting underpinning the description of the Sale Transaction in
Barclays 2008 Form 20-F filing with the United States Securities &
Exchange Commission.

o The audit working papers in PwC's Barclays audit file referring to


filings Barclays has made with regulatory agencies (particularly the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission and the United
Kingdom Financial Services Authority) in respect of the Sale
Transaction and Barclays' Initial Purchase Proposal

o The audit working papers in PwC's Barclays audit file in respect of the
following items (in particular (i) calculations for each item of (ii)
Barclays' management representations in relation to each item, and
(iii) data entered electronically into the PwC audit program for each
item):

ƒ the value of £23,837 million for the acquired “Trading


Portfolio assets” referred to on page 97, line 2 under "assets" in
the Results Announcement.

ƒ the value of £1,948 million for the acquired “available-for-sale


financial investment assets” referred to on page 97, line 5
under "assets" in the Results Announcement

ƒ the value of £599 million for the assumed “derivative financial


instruments” referred to on page 97, line 3 under "liabilities" in
the Results Announcement the value of £24,409 million for the
assumed “liabilities for repurchase agreements and cash
collateral on securities lent” referred to on page 97, line 5
under "liabilities" in the Results Announcement.

o The reconciliation between balances as set out in the PwC audit


working papers with respect to Barclays and the following balances in
the Results Announcement:

ƒ £23,837 million for the acquired “Trading Portfolio assets”


referred to on page 97, line 2 under "assets".

ƒ £1,948 million for the acquired “available-for-sale financial


investment assets” referred to on page 97, line 5 under "assets".

7
ƒ £599 million for the assumed “derivative financial
instruments” referred to page 97, line 3 under "liabilities".

ƒ £24,409 million for the assumed “liabilities for repurchase


agreements and cash collateral on securities lent” referred to on
page 97, line 5 under "liabilities".

7. The Committee has received indications from the Queen's Bench

Division of the U.K. Court that it is likely that a hearing of the Committee's application

under the 1975 Act will take place on December 21, 2009 (the "U.K. Court Hearing").

At the U.K. Court Hearing, the Committee intends to submit the Letters of Request for

approval by the U.K. Court if they are approved by this Court on December 16, 2009.

III. RELIEF REQUESTED

8. By this Motion, the Committee seeks, pursuant to section 105(a) of

the Bankruptcy Code and the Hague Convention (28 U.S.C. § 1781), approval and

issuance of the Letters of Request seeking international judicial assistance from the U.K.

Court to obtain the production of documents from the FSA and PwC set forth in the

Schedules annexed to the Letters of Request.

V. ARGUMENT

A. THE HAGUE CONVENTION AUTHORIZES THIS COURT TO ISSUE LETTERS


OF REQUEST TO THE U.K. COURT, WHICH CAN COMPEL PRODUCTION
OF DOCUMENTS FROM THE FSA AND PWC

9. Both the United States and the United Kingdom are signatories to

the Hague Convention, which authorizes the Court to issue the Letters of Request. See

Societe Nationale Industrielle Aeropastiale v. U.S. District Court, 482 U.S. 522, 536

(1987) (noting "a judicial authority in one contracting state ‘may’ forward a letter of

request to the competent authority in another contracting state for the purpose of

obtaining evidence"); 28 U.S.C. § 1781 (permitting “the transmittal of a letter rogatory or

request directly from a tribunal in the United States to the foreign or international

8
tribunal, officer, or agency to whom it is addressed and its return in the same manner”

and reproducing the Hague Evidence Convention"); Restatement (Third) of Foreign

Relations Law of the United States § 474(2) ("A United States district court, in order to

obtain evidence for use in a proceeding before it, may … issue a letter rogatory

requesting a court or other appropriate authority in a foreign state to direct the taking of

evidence in that state … provided the proceeding is not inconsistent with the law of the

state where the evidence is to be taken").

10. "The Hague Convention serves as a alternative or 'permissive'

route to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for the taking of evidence abroad from

litigants and third parties alike." Abbot Lab. v. Impax Lab., Inc., 2004 WL 1622223, at

*2 (D. Del. July 15, 2004) (citations omitted) (authorizing letters of request for

depositions of individuals located in France).

11. While "[t]he party seeking to pursue discovery through the Hague

Evidence Convention bears the burden of demonstrating that proceeding in that manner is

necessary and appropriate …. [t]hat burden is not great, however, since the Convention

procedures are available whenever they will facilitate the gathering of evidence by the

means authorized in the Convention." Metso Minerals, Inc. v. Powerscreen Int'l Dist.

Ltd., 2007 WL 1875560, at *2 (E.D.N.Y. June 25, 2007) (citations omitted) (emphasis

added) (authorizing issuance of letters of request for documents and depositions in

Northern Ireland when, inter alia, documents and testimony were relevant and Hague

Convention procedures were only means by which requested discovery could be

obtained).

9
12. "Factors the court may consider when determining whether the

procedure of the Hague Evidence Convention should be applied include considerations of

comity, the relative interests of the parties including the interest in avoiding abusive

discovery, and the ease and efficiency of alternative formats of discovery." Id. (citations

omitted). Cf., In re Global Power Equip. Group, Inc., -- B.R. --, 2009 WL 3464212, at

*12 (Bankr. D. Del. Oct. 28, 2009) (noting factors considered in conducting comity

analysis to determine whether Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or Hague Convention

apply include: "1) the importance of the documents or information requested to the

litigation; 2) the degree of specificity of the request; 3) whether the information

originated in the United States; 4) the availability of alternative means of securing the

information and 5) the extent to which noncompliance with the request would undermine

important interests of the United States, or compliance with the requests would

undermine important interests of the state where the information is located").

13. The U.K. Court has the power to compel the production of

documents for purposes of foreign proceedings in appropriate circumstances pursuant to

the Evidence (Proceedings in Other Jurisdictions) Act 1975 c.34 (the "1975 Act"), if the

U.K. Court receives:

an application ... for an order for evidence to be obtained in the part of the United
Kingdom in which it exercises jurisdiction, and the court is satisfied

1. that the application is made in pursuance of a request issued by or


on behalf of a court or tribunal ("the requesting court") exercising jurisdiction ...
in a country or territory outside the United Kingdom; and

10
2. that the evidence to which the application relates is to be obtained
for purposes of civil proceedings which ... have been instituted before the
requesting court.7

14. This may include issuance of an order "for the examination of

witnesses, either orally or in writing" or "for the production of documents." 1975 Act

2(2)(a) and (2)(b). See also Rio Tinto Zinc Com. v. Westinghouse Electric Corp., [1978]

A.C. 547, 2 W.L.R. 81.

15. An examination of the relevant factors demonstrates issuance of

the Letters of Request is warranted. First, the Committee is unable to obtain the

documents by other means. Indeed, the Committee faces jurisdictional impediments

(e.g., the parties from whom disclosure is sought, the FSA and PwC, and the documents

requested, are located in the United Kingdom, beyond the reach of the Court's subpoena

power). The instant case presents the very circumstances the Hague Convention is

designed to address.8

16. Second, the documents requested in the Letters of Request are

highly relevant to prosecution of the Rule 60(b) Motions. Those motions allege, among

other things, the existence of undisclosed discounts and the realization of billions in

profits -- even though the Court was advised of a transaction where liabilities either

exceeded or equaled the assets transferred to Barclays. Similarly, the information

provided to the FSA relating to Barclays' Initial Proposal, its denial (hours before the

7
Reflecting principles of judicial and international comity, “[t]he general principle which is
followed in England in relation to a request from a foreign Court or assistance in obtaining
evidence for the purpose of proceedings in that Court is that the English Court will ordinarily
give effect to a request so far as is proper and practicable and to the extent that it is
permissible under English law.” Civil Procedure Rules 1998 c.34.21.2 (citing Seyfang v. G.
D. Searle & Co. [1973] Q.B. 148 at 151; [1973] 1 All E.R. 290 at 293).

Notably, Barclays has not provided its regulators' or auditors' documents in response to the
Lehman Debtors' April 2009 and June 2009 requests and has not agreed to produce such
documents.

11
commencement of the chapter 11 cases), and its resuscitation just days later (albeit

incarnated as a bankruptcy sale of the North American broker-dealer business) relates

directly to the Rule 60(b) Motions.

17. Third, the Committee’s document requests are narrowly tailored

and conform to governing law. The Committee recognizes that under the Hague

Convention, the U.K. Court will not require a person "to produce any documents other

than particular documents specified in the order as being documents appearing to the

court making the order to be, or to be likely to be, in his possession, custody or power."

1975 Act 2(4)(b). Consistent with this provision, the document requests in the Schedules

annexed to the Letters of Request are narrowly tailored and seek only particular

documents from the FSA and PwC relating to the Sale Transaction and the Results

Announcement.

18. Fourth, the Committee will retain the documents confidentially

pursuant to the Confidentiality Stipulation.9 To that end, neither PwC nor the FSA can

allege prejudice in the production of the documents from the dissemination of allegedly

confidential information.

19. Fifth, the Rule 60(b) Motions raise important public interest issues

relating to the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history and disclosures made to the Court

regarding a transaction the Court itself described as vital to the national and global

economy. Based on these factors, the requests implicate important public interests in the

United States.

9
Confidentiality Stipulation And Protective Order Between The Examiner, The Debtors,
Trustee, Committee and Barclays Capital Inc., dated on or about July 16, 2009 and "SO
ORDERED" on July 30, 2009 (the "Confidentiality Stipulation"). A copy of the
Confidentiality Stipulation is attached hereto as Exhibit E.

12
B. THE LETTER OF REQUEST DOES NOT SEEK EVIDENCE THAT IS
PRIVILEGED OR WOULD BE PREJUDICIAL TO THE SECURITY OF
THE UNITED KINGDOM

20. The Committee’s document requests do not offend privilege laws

in the United Kingdom. The 1975 Act preserves the right to withhold evidence on the

basis of privilege, as provided by either the law of the England or of the requesting party

(here, the United States). 1975 Act 3(1)(a) and (b). Further, the 1975 Act does not

require a person to "give any evidence if his doing so would be prejudicial to the security

of the United Kingdom." 1975 Act at 3(3).

21. Notably, the Committee does not seek information that is

privileged under the laws of the United States or England and Wales,10 nor does the

Committee seek information the disclosure of which would compromise the United

Kingdom's security.

10
Although there is a confidentiality provision in the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000
(c. 8), section 348, that applies to FSA documents in certain circumstances, there is an
exception that encompasses insolvency proceedings of this nature. Financial Services and
Markets (Disclosure of Confidential Information) Regulations 2001, Regulation 5. So far as
the Committee is aware, no UK decision has considered the impact of these provisions in the
context of a Hague Convention request, or the particular applicability of the exception to
proceedings under Chapter 11. In the event a party with standing disputes the Committee’s
position on this point, the issue can be addressed by the UK Court at the U.K. Court Hearing,
and should not affect the analysis of whether to issue the Letters of Request in the first
instance. Cf., Mesto Materials, Inc., 2007 WL 1875560 at *3 (issuing letter of request
notwithstanding issue of whether U.K. reservation under Article 23 (precluding pre-trial
discovery) applied: "[w]hether the Letter of Request will ultimately be executed in light of
the United Kingdom's reservation under Article 23, however, is unknown. Such decision is
best left to the judicial authorities in the United Kingdom").

13
WHEREFORE, the Committee respectfully requests that this Court enter an order

substantially in the form attached hereto, issue the Letters of Request annexed hereto as

Exhibit A, and award the Committee such other, further relief as it deems appropriate.

TO THE HIGH COURT OF ENGLAND AND WALES:

The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
presents its compliments to the High Court of England and Wales and requests
international judicial assistance to obtain the production of documents from the
PwC as set forth the Schedule to this Letter.
This request is made pursuant to the Hague Convention of 18 March 1970
on the Taking of Evidence Abroad in Civil or Commercial Matters, as adopted and
implemented in the United States of America at 28 U.S.C. § 1781, and in the
United Kingdom by the Evidence (Proceedings in Other Jurisdictions) Act 1975,
and Part 34 of the Civil Procedure Rules. This Court, the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, is a competent court of

This request is made with the understanding that it will in no way require
any person to commit any offense, or to undergo a broader form of inquiry than he

7. NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS (DIVORCE, PATERNITY, BREACH OF


CONTRACT, PRODUCT LIABILITY, ETC.):

a. The proceeding is a civil motion under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
seeking relief from the Sale Orders approved by the Court.

a, SUMMARY OF COMPLAINT:

During the weekend of 13 September 2008 and 14 September 2008, Barclays


made a bid to purchase Lehman Brothers. On Sunday 14 September 2008, the
proposed acquisition was submitted to the FSA for its approval. The FSA did not
approve the acquisition. On Monday 15 September 2008, LBHI filed for
protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

Shortly after LBHI filed for chapter 11 protection on 15 September 2008,


Barclays, LBHI and LBI announced Barclays would purchase LBI's North
American broker-dealer business. As described in a press release dated September
17, Barclays agreed to "acquire [LBI's] North American investment banking and
capital markets operations and supporting infrastructure." Barclays also publicly
described the deal as "acquir[ing] trading assets with a current estimated value of
£40bn (US$72bn) and trading liabilities with a current estimated value of f38bn
(US$68bn) for a cash consideration of £0.14bn (US$0.25bn). "

The Sale Transaction was effected through three documents: the Asset Purchase
Agreement, the First Amendment, and the Clarification Letter. There is a
dispute as to when or if the Court in fact approved the Clarification Letter, but it
is common ground that the Clarification Letter was executed after the Court

03690.61377/3216552.1 8
NYI-4230551v1
approved the Sale Transaction. The Sale Transaction was negotiated by very
senior LBHI and Barclays personnel.

At the 19 September 2008 Sale Hearing, the Court held a contested hearing to
consider approval of the Sale Transaction.

On 20 September 2008, the Sale Transaction was approved pursuant to the Sale
Orders entered by the US Bankruptcy Court.

Following the Sale Hearing and entry of the Sale Orders, the parties to the Sale
Transaction entered into the Clarification Letter which was dated 20 September
2008 and executed 22 September 2008. The parties' dispute concerns, among
other things, the Clarification Letter, and, in particular, the extent to which its
terms modified the Sale Transaction from what had been disclosed to and
approved by the Bankruptcy Court and whether the modifications were beyond
the scope of the Sale Order.

Barclays sought regulatory approval from the FSA before entering into the Sale
Transaction.

On 15 September 2009, the Committee, the Trustee and LBHI each filed motions
under, inter alia, Rule 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Rule
9024 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure in the United States
Bankruptcy Court seeking relief from the Sale Orders. The substance of these
Motions is that:

(1) The Sale Transaction ultimately was consummated differently from the
Sale Transaction that was represented to the US Bankruptcy Court (and
approved by the US Bankruptcy Court). The Motions argue that in the
days after the Sale Transaction was approved by the Court, Barclays
sought billions of dollars in additional assets, which transfers where
neither disclosed to nor approved by the Court.

(2) To provide just one example, the Motions argue that, unbeknownst to the
Court or the Committee, Barclays was promised a $5 billion discount
from the transferred assets' book value.

(3) The Motions reference, among other things, argue that, while the Sale
Transaction as described to the Court contemplated an equivalent
exchange of value or a transaction that would produce a net gain for
Lehman, Barclays's public financial statements, indicate a gain on the Sale
Transaction for Barclays of approximately £2.62 billion (more than $5
billion at the then prevailing exchange rate) arising from what Barclays
described as "[t]he excess of fair value of net assets over the consideration
paid . . . on acquisition."

The parties prosecuting the Motions and Barclays have agreed to a stipulated
protective order governing the production of documents in connection with the

03690.61377/3216552.1
NYI-4230551v1
Motions. Under that agreement, certain documents designated confidential and
highly confidential must be maintained as such absent further order of the US
Bankruptcy Court. The parties also have entered into a scheduling stipulation that
provides for disclosure to be conducted through March 2010, at which point the
parties will present oral argument to the Court. Thereafter, if the Court considers
it necessary, the parties will proceed to a trial in April 2010.

b. SUMMARY OF DEFENSES AND COUNTERCLAIMS:

To date, Barclays has not answered the Motions (and is to do so


in February 2010). Nonetheless, Barclays has suggested that it will argue the
Court should deny the motions on the grounds of, inter alia, waiver and estoppel.
Barclays also maintains it undertook significant risk in connection with the
acquisition, for which it was entitled to additional assets to provide protection
(e.g., against market fluctuations).

c. OTHER NECESSARY INFORMATION OR DOCUMENTS:

The Court encloses the Motions, the stipulated protective order governing the
production of documents with respect to the Motions, and the scheduling
stipulation and order

8. a. EVIDENCE TO BE OBTAINED OR OTHER JUDICIAL ACT TO BE


PERFORMED:

The obtaining of the production of documents as described in Schedule s A and B


herein, in connection with proceedings described in Paragraph 7.a. and 7.b. above.

b. PURPOSE OF THE EVIDENCE OR JUDICIAL ACT SOUGHT:

The party from whom disclosure is sought, PwC (the United Kingdom entity), is
in London, and is not located in nor doing business in the United States and thus
cannot be directly compelled by United States Courts to produce the requested
documents.

More particularly, the documents sought from PwC are not located in the State of
New York or the United States and thus PwC cannot be directly compelled by the
United States Courts to produce the requested documents.

The documents produced pursuant to this Letter of Request are admissible


evidence under United States law, i.e. the Federal Rule of Evidence and will be
offered as further evidence in support of, or in opposition to, the Motions and in
the trial if necessary. This evidence is sought, as described in Paragraph 8.a.
above, to prove specific facts regarding the Sale Transaction, how it differed from
the Sale Orders, and the reasoning behind such differences as the case may be,
and the attached schedules of requested documents was drafted to address these
specific issues. Information leading to a train of inquiry or other information is
not sought by this Letter of Request.

03690.61377/3216552.1 - 10-
NYI-4230551v1
While the Court expresses no view as to the merits or otherwise of the Motions,
it is of the view that the sought evidence will be relevant to and either probative or
disprobative of the complaints at the heart of the Motions.

9. ADDRESS OF PARTIES FROM WHOM DISCLOSURE IS SOUGHT

MANNER AS PROVIDED BY LOCAL LAW:

protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

Shortly after LBHI filed for chapter 11 protection on 15 September 2008,


Barclays, LBHI and LBI announced Barclays would purchase LBI's North
American broker-dealer business. As described in a press release dated September
17, Barclays agreed to "acquire [LBI's] North American investment banking and
capital markets operations and supporting infrastructure." Barclays also publicly
described the deal as "acquir[ing] trading assets with a current estimated value of
£40bn (US$72bn) and trading liabilities with a current estimated value of £38bn
(US$68bn) for a cash consideration of £0.14bn (US$0.25bn). "

The Sale Transaction was effected through three documents: the Asset Purchase
Agreement, the First Amendment, and the Clarification Letter. There is a
dispute as to when or if the Court in fact approved the Clarification Letter, but it
is common ground that the Clarification Letter was executed after the Court
approved the Sale Transaction. The Sale Transaction was negotiated by very
senior LBHI and Barclays personnel.

At the 19 September 2008 Sale Hearing, the Court held a contested hearing to
consider approval of the Sale Transaction.

On 20 September 2008, the Sale Transaction was approved pursuant to the Sale
Orders entered by the US Bankruptcy Court.

Following the Sale Hearing and entry of the Sale Orders, the parties to the Sale
Transaction entered into the Clarification Letter which was dated 20 September
2008 and executed 22 September 2008. The parties' dispute concerns, among
other things, the Clarification Letter, and, in particular, the extent to which its
terms modified the Sale Transaction from what had been disclosed to and
approved by the Bankruptcy Court and whether the modifications were beyond
the scope of the Sale Order.

Barclays sought regulatory approval from the FSA before entering into the Sale
Transaction.

On 15 September 2009, the Committee, the Trustee and LBHI each filed motions
under, inter alia, Rule 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Rule
9024 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure in the United States
Bankruptcy Court seeking relief from the Sale Orders. The substance of these
Motions is that:

(1) The Sale Transaction ultimately was consummated differently from the
Sale Transaction that was represented to the US Bankruptcy Court (and
approved by the US Bankruptcy Court). The Motions argue that in the
days after the Sale Transaction was approved by the Court, Barclays

03690.61377/3216550.1
NYI-4230551v 1
sought billions of dollars in additional assets, which transfers where
neither disclosed to nor approved by the Court.

(2) To provide just one example, the Motions argue that, unbeknownst to the
Court or the Committee, Barclays was promised a $5 billion discount
from the transferred assets' book value.

(3) The Motions reference , among other things, argue that, while the Sale
Transaction as described to the Court contemplated an equivalent
exchange of value or a transaction that would produce a net gain for
Lehman, Barclays's public financial statements, indicate a gain on the Sale
Transaction for Barclays of approximately £2.62 billion (more than $5
billion at the then prevailing exchange rate) arising from what Barclays
described as "Nile excess of fair value of net assets over the consideration
paid . . . on acquisition."

The parties prosecuting the Motions and Barclays have agreed to a stipulated
protective order governing the production of documents in connection with the
Motions. Under that agreement, certain documents designated confidential and
highly confidential must be maintained as such absent further order of the US
Bankruptcy Court. The parties also have entered into a scheduling stipulation that
provides for disclosure to be conducted through March 2010, at which point the
parties will present oral argument to the Court. Thereafter, if the Court considers
it necessary, the parties will proceed to a trial in April 2010.

b. SUMMARY OF DEFENSES AND COUNTERCLAIMS:

To date, Barclays has not answered the Motions (and is to do so


in February 2010). Nonetheless, Barclays has suggested that it will argue the
Court should deny the motions on the grounds of, inter alia, waiver and estoppel.
Barclays also maintains it undertook significant risk in connection with the
acquisition, for which it was entitled to additional assets to provide protection
(e.g., against market fluctuations).

c. OTHER NECESSARY INFORMATION OR DOCUMENTS:

The Court encloses the Motions, the stipulated protective order governing the
production of documents with respect to the Motions, and the scheduling
stipulation and order

located in nor doing business in the United States and thus cannot be directly
compelled by United States Courts to produce the requested documents.

the Sale Orders, and the reasoning behind such differences as the case may be,
and the attached schedules of requested documents was drafted to address these
specific issues. Information leading to a train of inquiry or other information is
not sought by this Letter of Request.

While the Court expresses no view as to the merits or otherwise of the Motions,

of 1934, as amended, and Section 27,5 of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to certain of the Group's plans
and its current goals and expectations relating to its future financial condition and performance. Barclays cautions readers that no
forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance and that actual results could differ materially from those
contained in the forward-looking statements, These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not
relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as "may", "will", "seek",
"continue", "aim", "anticipate", "target", "expect", "estimate", 'Intend", "plan", "goal", "believe" or other words of similar
meaning. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding the Group's future financial
position, income growth, assets, impairment charges, business strategy, capital ratios, leverage, payment of dividends, projected
levels of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs, estimates of capital expenditures, and plans and objectives
for future operations and other statements that are not historical fact. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk
and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances, including, but not limited to, UK domestic and global
economic and business conditions, the effects of continued volatility in credit markets, market related risks such as changes in
interest rates and exchange rates, effects of changes in valuation of credit market exposures, changes in valuation of issued notes,
the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory authorities, changes in legislation, the further development of standards
and interpretations under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applicable to past, current and future periods,
evolving practices with regard to the interpretation and application of standards under IFRS, progress in the integration of the
Lehman Brothers North American businesses into the Group's business and the quantification of the benefits resulting from such
acquisition, the outcome of pending and future litigation, the success of future acquisitions and other strategic transactions and
the impact of competition — a number of which factors are beyond the Group's control. As a result, the Group's actual future
results may differ materially from the plans, goals, and expectations set forth in the Group's forward-looking statements.

Services Authority FSA, the London Stock Exchange or applicable law, Barclays expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking

Performance Highlights

"In a very difficult economic environment in 2008, Barclays has steered a course that has enabled us to be solidly
profitable despite strong headwinds. We are well positioned to maintain Barclays competitive strengths through the
undoubted challenges that will come in 2009 and beyond."

Marcus Agius, Chairman


"We thank our customers and clients for the business they directed to Barclays In 2008. High levels of activity on their
behalf have enabled us to report substantial profit generation in difficult conditions. We benefited from a number of
gains on acquisitions and disposals. These contributed to headline profit, and to capital, but the main driver of our
results was a solid operating profit performance and record income generation. We commit to reducing the size of
our balance sheet over time, and we will maintain our capital ratios at levels that are well ahead of regulatory
requirements. We intend to recommence dividend payments during the second half of 2009,"

johii Vailey, Chief Executive

Barclays PLC —2008 Results 3


Group Finance Director's Review

Group Performance
Barclays delivered profit before tax of £6,077m in 2008, a decline of 14% on 2007. The results included the
following significant items:

• gains on acquisition of E2,406m, including £2,262m gain on acquisition of Lehman Brothers North American
business

* profit on disposal of Barclays Closed UK Life assurance business of £326m

* gains on Visa IPO and sales of shares in MasterCard of £291m, distributed widely across the Group

• gross credit market losses and impairment of £8,053m, or £4,957m net of related income and hedges of
El ,433m and gains on own credit of £1 ,663m

Profit after tax increased 4% to £5,287m, This reflected an effective tax rate of 13% (2007: 28%) primarily due to
the gain on the acquisition of Lehman Brothers North American businesses of £2,262m, in part being offset by
carried forward US tax losses attributable to Barclays businesses. Earnings per share were 59.3p (2007: 68.9p), a
decline of 14% from 2007, reflecting the impact of share issuance during 2008 on the weighted average number of
shares in issue.

Income grew 1% to E23,115m. Income in Global Retail and Commercial Banking increased 17% and was particularly
strong in businesses outside of the UK to which we have directed significant resource. Income in Investment
Banking and Investment Management was down 19%. Barclays Capital was affected by very challenging market
conditions in 2008, with income falling by £1,888m (27%) on 2007, reflecting gross losses of £6,290m relating to
credit market assets, partially offset by gains of £1,663m on the fair valuation of notes issued by Barclays Capital
due to widening of credit spreads and £1,433m in related income and hedges. Excluding credit market related
losses, gains on own credit and related income and hedges, income in Barclays Capital increased 6%.

Impairment charges and other credit provisions of £5,419m increased 94% on the prior year. Impairment charges
included £1763m arising from US sub-prime mortgages and other credit market exposures, Other wholesale
impairment charges increased significantly as corporate credit conditions turned sharply worse. In Barclays Capital
increased charges also arose in prime services, corporate lending and private equity. In Barclays Commercial Bank,
increased impairment charges reflected the UK economy moving into recession. In the UK there was a moderate
increase in impairment in UK Retail Banking as a result of book growth and a deteriorating economic environment.
UK mortgage impairment charges remained low. There was a lower charge in UK cards as net flows into
delinquency and arrears levels reduced, Significant impairment growth in our Global Retail and Commercial
Banking businesses outside the UK reflected very strong book growth in recent years, and maturation of those
portfolios, together with deteriorating credit conditions and rising delinquency rates in the US, South Africa and
Spain.

Operating expenses increased 9% to £14,366m. We continued to invest in our distribution network in the Global
Retail and Commercial Banking businesses. Expenses fell in Barclays Capital due to lower performance related costs.
Expenses in Barclays Global Investors included selective support of liquidity products of E263m (2007: £80m).
Group gains from property disposals were £148m (2007: £267m), Head Office reflects £101m due to the cost of the
contribution to the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme. Underlying cost growth was well controlled. The
Group cost:income ratio deteriorated by five percentage points to 62%.

Business Performance — Global Retail and Commercial Banking


UK Retail Banking profit before tax grew 7% to £1,369m. Income grew 4% to £4,482m, reflecting strong growth in
Home Finance and minimal settlements on overdraft fees. Loans and advances grew 15% driven by a market share
of net new mortgage lending of 36%. Operating expenses showed a modest increase of 2% reflecting active
management of the cost base and reduced gains from the sale of property. The cost:income ratio improved one
percentage point. Impairment charges increased 8% reflecting strong growth in assets and a deteriorating
economic environment.

Barclays Commercial Bank profit before tax decreased 7% to £1,266m. Income growth of 7% principally reflected
increased sales of treasury products. Loans and advances to customers increased 14% to E80.5bn. Costs increased
14% driven by lower gains on the sale of property, further investment in new payments capability, and growth in
the operating lease business. Impairment charges increased 42% as the deteriorating economic environment
caused higher delinquency and lower recovery rates on corporate credit.

Barclays PLC — 2008 Results 7


Results by Business

Barclays Capital
In an exceptionally challenging market environment Barclays Capital profit before tax decreased 44% (El ,033m) to
51,302m (2007: £2,335m). Profit before tax included a gain on the acquisition of Lehman Brothers North American
business of £2,262m. Absa Capital profit before tax grew 13% to El 75m (2007: 5155m).

Net income included gross losses of E8,053m (2007: £2,999m) due to continuing dislocation in the credit markets.
These losses were partially offset by income and hedges of E1,433m (2007: E706m), and gains of E1,663m (2007:
E658m) from the general widening of credit spreads on issued notes by Barclays Capital. The gross losses,
comprised E6,290m (2007: £2,159m) against income and £1,763m (2007: E782m) in impairment charges. Further
detail is provided on page 43.

The integration of the Lehman Brothers North American business is complete and the acquired businesses made a
positive contribution, with good results in equities, fixed income and advisory. There was a gain on acquisition of
€2,262m. Not included in this gain is expenditure relating to integration of inc acquired business.

Income was down 27% at £5,231m (2007: 57,119m) driven by the impact of the market dislocation. Underlying
income, which excludes the gross losses, related income and hedges, and gains on the widening of credit spreads
was 6% above the prior year and included strong contributions from interest rates, currency products, emerging
markets, prime services and commodities. There was very strong underlying growth in the US driven by fixed
income, prime services and the acquired businesses. In other regions income fell driven by the challenging
environment.

Net trading income decreased 60% (52,233m) to £1,506m (2007: £3,739m) reflecting losses from the credit
market dislocation and weaker performance in credit products and equities. This was partially offset by significant
growth in interest rates, foreign exchange, emerging markets and prime services. Average DVaR at 95% increased
by 64% to 553.4m driven by higher credit spread and interest rate risk.

Net investment incorne decreased 41% (E394m) to f..559m reflecting the market conditions. Net interest income
increased 46% (5545m) to E1 ,724m (2007: £1,179m), driven by strong results in global loans and money markets.
Net fee and commission income from advisory and origination activities increased 16% (El 94m) to El ,429m. The
corporate lending portfolio, including leveraged finance, increased 46% to E76.6bn (31st December 2007; 552.3bn)
driven by the decline in the value of Sterling relative to other currencies as well as draw downs on existing loan
facilities and the extension of new loans at current terms to financial and manufacturing institutions.

Impairment charges and other credit provisions of 52,423m (2007: E846m) included E1,763m (2007: E782m) due
to the credit market dislocation. Other impairment charges of 5660m (2007: 564m) principally related to private
equity, prime services and the loan book.

Operating expenses fell 5% (El 99m) to £3,774m (2007: E3,973m) due to lower performance related pay, partially
offset by operating costs of the acquired businesses. The cost:net income ratio increased to 134% (2007: 63%) and
the compensation cost:net income ratio increased to 82% (2007; 47%). Amortisation of intangible assets increased
E38m to E92m (2007: E54m).

Total headcount increased 6,900 to 23,100 (31st December 2007: 16,200). Prior to the acquisition of Lehman
Brothers North American business, headcount during 2008 was materially unchanged except for hiring associated
with the annual global graduate programme. The acquisition initially added 10,000 to the headcount but there
were reductions in the fourth quarter as the US businesses were integrated.

Total assets increased 94% (5.789.2bn) to £1,629.1bn (31st December 2007: E839.9bn) due to an increase in
derivative assets of 5736,6bn, predominantly driven by significant volatility and movements in yield curves during
the year, together with a substantial depreciation in Sterling against most major currencies. Total assets excluding
derivatives increased by 9% in Sterling. On a constant currency basis, total assets excluding derivatives decreased
by approximately 15%. Risk weighted assets increased 28% to E227.4bn (31st December 2007: El 78.2bny This was
driven by the depreciation in Sterling against the US Dollar and Euro, and an increase in market volatility.

Re: In re Lehman Brothers Holding Inc., et al., Case No. 08-13555 (JMP)

Dear Ms. Granfield and Mr. Schiller:

We are Special Counsel to Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (the "Estate") in the above-
captioned chapter 11 cases of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("LBHI") and its affiliated debtors
and debtors in possession.

We are working on obtaining clarity and understanding of the sale transaction among
LBHI, Lehman Brothers Inc. ("LBI") and LB 745 LLC (collectively with LBHI and LBI,
"Lehman"), on the one hand, and Barclays Capital Inc. ("Barclays"), on the other hand (the
"Lehman-Barclays Transaction"), and to follow-up on requests made by the Estate to Barclays in
its letter dated February 19, 2009 to Mr. Hughes. In this regard, the Estate asks that Barclays
provide documents responsive to the requests in the attached Schedule A.

It is our hope that we can have expeditious production of the requested materials on a
cooperative basis, rather than having to burden Judge Peck with motions. Please let us know by
April 20, 2009 whether Barclays will agree to produce on that basis and, if so, when it will be in
a position to supply the documents.

It is also likely that, after reviewing the documents, we will want to interview or take
testimony from several former Lehman employees we understand are now employed by
Barclays, including Steven Berkenfeld, Ian Lowitt, Gerald Donini, Eric Felder, Paul Parker, Ros
Stephenson, Jeffrey Weiss, Larry Wieseneck, Steven Hash and Joseph Gatto. We may add
others to this list as matters progress but, in the first instance, please let us know whether each of
these people is still in the employ, or under contract with, Barclays.

among the Examiner and counsel for the Discovery Parties without notification to Barclays, they

shall not be shared by the Examiner or counsel for a Discovery Party with any person other than:

(i) Barclays' employees at their depositions or interviews (provided that no other parties are

(xiv) other persons upon further order of the Court or consent of Barclays, subject to the

provisions of paragraph 9 (provided that no other parties are present at the interview or

deposition who are not entitled to see Highly Confidential information).

6. In the event that Counsel for a Discovery Party believes that providing Highly

Confidential materials to a representative, member, employee or former employee of that

Discovery Party would assist the Discovery Party in connection with the Court-Ordered

Discovery, and that individual is not included within any of the categories set forth in paragraph

5 except the category defined in sub-paragraph 5(xiii) (i.e., "a witness or other person providing

information to the Examiner or the relevant Discovery Party"), counsel for the relevant

10
Discovery Party shall provide ten business days notice to Barclays of the identity of the person in

question, identifying any bank or financial services firm with which that person is affiliated, and

identifying the materials he seeks to provide to that person. Notwithstanding anything to the

contrary herein, Quinn Emanuel may provide members of the Committee ("Committee

Members") a summary of its analysis of the Highly Confidential materials, provided that any

such summary does not disclose any lists or schedules of individual securities, CUSIP numbers

or amounts included in the Highly Confidential materials summarized, and that Quinn Emanuel

informs Committee Members that their use of any such summary is governed by the limitations

on disclosure of confidential information imposed by Part VIII of the Committee by-laws (i.e.,

"Confidentiality of Information"), excepting that Committee Members may not (i) treat any such

summary as "information from or about the Debtors obtained in the course of any litigation,

arbitration or court proceeding" pursuant to sub-paragraph VIII.B.(iv) of the Committee by-laws,

or (ii) share any such summary with any "constituent unsecured creditors" pursuant to sub-

paragraph VIII.D(iii) of the Committee by-laws.

7. In the event the Examiner or counsel for a Discovery Party in good faith believes

that providing Highly Confidential materials to a witness or other person providing information

to the Examiner or the relevant Discovery Party would assist the Examiner in carrying out his

duties or would assist the Discovery Party in connection with the Court-Ordered Discovery, and

that individual is not included in any of the categories set forth in paragraph 5 except the

category defined in sub-paragraph 5(xiii) (i.e., "a witness or other person providing information

to the Examiner or the relevant Discovery Party"), the Examiner or counsel for the relevant

Discovery Party shall provide ten business days notice to Barclays of the identity of the witness

or other person in question, identifying any bank or financial services firm with which that

11
person is affiliated, and identifying the materials he seeks to provide to that witness or other

person.

8. If, within three days of the receipt of notice given pursuant to paragraphs 6 or 7,

Barclays objects to the provision of Highly Confidential materials to the witness or person so

identified, the parties shall use their best efforts within five business days to allow the use of

such material while protecting Barclays' need for confidentiality, including, but not limited to,

considering whether portions of such material can be redacted, re-evaluating whether such

material must be protected as "Highly Confidential," or considering other provisions to allow the

Examiner or counsel for the Discovery Parties to provide the material to the witness or other

person while protecting the confidentiality of Barclays information. In the event the Examiner or

the relevant Discovery Party and Barclays cannot resolve an issue concerning the use or sharing

of "Highly Confidential" materials, the matter may be presented to the Bankruptcy Court for

resolution on an expedited basis. In this regard, to the extent the disagreement presented to the

Court involves whether Highly Confidential materials can be provided to a witness or other

person who is affiliated with a bank or financial services firm that is a direct competitor of

Barclays, the relevant Discovery Party shall have the burden of showing good cause to justify the

requested disclosure. To the extent the disagreement presented to the Court involves whether

Highly Confidential materials identified in paragraph 2(d) can be provided to a witness or other

person other than (i) the individual to whose compensation those materials pertain, or (ii) an

individual whom the Examiner or the relevant Discovery Party in good faith believes was

directly involved in the negotiation or determination of the employee and executive

compensation referenced in those materials, the relevant Discovery Party shall have the burden

of showing good cause to justify the requested disclosure. To the extent the disagreement

12
presented to the Court involves whether Highly Confidential materials identified in paragraph

2(g) can be provided to to a witness or other person other than the individual to whom they

pertain, the relevant Discovery Party shall have the burden of showing good cause to justify the

requested disclosure.

9. Discovery Materials that have been designated Highly Confidential may only be

provided to an individual who is not included within any of the categories set forth in paragraph

5 except the category defined in sub-paragraph 5(xiii) (i.e., "a witness or other person providing

information to the Examiner or the relevant Discovery Party") pursuant to the provisions of

paragraphs 6, 7 and 8, and then only after counsel for the Examiner or the relevant Discovery

Party has provided such person with a copy of this Protective Order and such person has

executed a Non-Disclosure Declaration in the form annexed as an Exhibit hereto. Discovery

Materials that have been designated Highly Confidential may only be provided to an individual

included in the categories defined in sub-paragraphs 5(ix) and 5(xiv) after counsel for the

Examiner or the relevant Discovery Party has provided such person with a copy of this

Protective Order and such person has executed a Non-Disclosure Declaration in the form

annexed as an Exhibit hereto.

10. Discovery Materials that have been designated Confidential (but not Highly

Confidential) shall be maintained in confidence and, although such Discovery Materials may be

shared between and among the Examiner and counsel for the Discovery Parties without

providing notice to Barclays, they shall not be shared by the Examiner or counsel for a

Discovery Party with any person other than the individuals or entities identified in paragraph 5.

Discovery Materials that have been designated as Confidential may be shared with any person or

entity identified in paragraph 5, including individuals who are not included within any of the

13
categories set forth in paragraph 5 except the category defined in sub-paragraph 5(xiii) (i.e., "a

witness or other person providing information to the Examiner or the relevant Discovery Party"),

without providing notice to Barclays, provided that counsel for the Examiner or the relevant

Discovery Party has provided any person or entity with whom or which it shares Discovery

Materials that have been designated Confidential a copy of this Protective Order and such person

has executed a Non-Disclosure Declaration in the form annexed as an Exhibit hereto, and

provided that no other parties are present at the disclosure of Confidential information who are

not entitled to see Confidential information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Quinn Emanuel

may provide Committee Members Discovery Materials that have been designated as

Confidential, provided that Quinn Emanuel informs Committee Members that their use of any

such Discovery Materials is governed by the limitations on disclosure of confidential information

imposed by Part VIII of the Committee by-laws (i.e., "Confidentiality of Information"),

excepting that Committee Members may not treat any such summary as "information from or

about the Debtors obtained in the course of any litigation, arbitration or court proceeding"

pursuant to sub-paragraph VIII.B.(iv) of the Committee by-laws.

11. If Confidential or Highly Confidential materials are utilized in a deposition or

other recorded interview, then it shall be indicated on the record by counsel for the Examiner or

the relevant Discovery Party (or, if counsel for Barclays is present, by counsel for Barclays) that

a question, or a line of questioning concerning a particular subject matter, calls for Confidential

or Highly Confidential information, in which case the transcript of the designated testimony shall

be bound in a separate volume and marked "Confidential Information Governed by Protective

Order" by the reporter.

14
12. Counsel for the Examiner or the relevant Discovery Party shall provide a copy of

this Protective Order to a representative of any professional firm or individual other than Jenner

& Block, Jones Day, Hughes Hubbard & Reed and Quinn Emanuel who is retained by the

Examiner or that Discovery Party (including all such entities and individuals identified in sub-

paragraphs 5(ii), 5(x), 5(xi), 5(xiii) and 5(xiv)) (collectively, the "Permitted Recipients", and

each a "Permitted Recipient"), and the firm representative or individual, as the case may be, must

execute a Non-Disclosure Declaration in the form annexed as an Exhibit hereto prior to the firm

or individual receiving any Highly Confidential or Confidential information.

13. In the event that the Examiner, a Discovery Party or a Permitted Recipient is

required, by interrogatories, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar legal process or

applicable law or regulation, to disclose any of the Discovery Materials designated as Highly

Confidential or Confidential, it is agreed that the Examiner or the relevant Discovery Party, and

any relevant Permitted Recipient will provide Barclays with prompt notice of such event so that

Barclays may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the

applicable provisions of this Stipulation. In the event that Barclays determines to seek such

protective order or other remedy, the Examiner or the relevant Discovery Party, and any relevant

Permitted Recipient will not oppose Barclays' seeking such protective order or other remedy,

provided the terms of the protective order Barclays seeks will not narrow the scope of this

Stipulation and Order. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained

and disclosure of the Discovery Materials designated as Highly Confidential or Confidential is

required under law, or Barclays grants a waiver hereunder, the Examiner, the relevant Discovery

Party and/or the relevant Permitted Recipient, as the case may be, (i) may, without liability

hereunder, furnish that portion (and only that portion) of the Discovery Materials which, the

15
Examiner, the relevant Discovery Party and/or the relevant Permitted Recipient, is legally

required to disclose, and (ii) will exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to have

confidential treatment accorded the Discovery Materials so furnished.

14. If at any time Barclays determines or realizes that certain testimony or some

portion(s) of Discovery Materials that it previously produced should be designated as

Confidential or Highly Confidential, Barclays may apprise the Examiner and Discovery Parties

in writing, and such designated testimony or portion(s) of Discovery Materials will thereafter be

treated as Confidential or Highly Confidential under the terms of this Stipulation, provided,

however, that Barclays shall, at its cost, provide the Examiner or the relevant Discovery Party

with substitute copies, bearing the appropriate legend, of any such Discovery Materials.

15. All Confidential and Highly Confidential information filed with the Bankruptcy

Court, and all portions of pleadings, motions or other papers filed with the Bankruptcy Court that

disclose such Confidential or Highly Confidential Discovery Materials, shall be filed under seal

with the Clerk of the Court and kept under seal until further order of the Bankruptcy Court.

16. In the event the Examiner or any Discovery Party objects to any designation of

testimony or Discovery Materials as Confidential or Highly Confidential, the Examiner or the

relevant Discovery Party shall so inform Barclays, stating the grounds of the objection, and the

parties shall have seven business days to attempt to resolve the objection, at the end of which the

Examiner or the relevant Discovery Party may seek a ruling from the Bankruptcy Court that such

information should not be treated as Confidential or Highly Confidential, provided that no

Confidential or Highly Confidential information shall be filed in the public record prior to such a

determination by the Court, and provided further that the burden shall be on Barclays to justify

the claim that disputed material has been properly designated.

16
17. Notwithstanding Barclays' designation of Discovery Materials as Confidential or

Highly Confidential, nothing in this Protective Order shall limit any third party's right to

challenge such designation in the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction.

18. This Protective Order shall survive the termination of the Examiner Investigation

and the conclusion of Court-Ordered Discovery.
