3. The CVA Actions identified on Schedule 1 hereto are hereby stayed through and
including March 13, 2022, according to the terms set forth in the Consent Order, which is
incorporated by reference herein, without prejudice to future requests for further extensions
consistent with the terms of the Consent Order.
4. Paragraph 13 of the Consent Order is hereby amended to require the Diocese’s
notice to the Committee regarding certain parish transfers (the “Transfer Notice”) to include all
documents provided or considered for approval of the transfer by the Diocese’s Facilities and
Real Estate Committee, the Diocese’s Finance Council, the Bishop, or any Diocesan employee to
whom the Bishop delegates the task of reviewing and approving, provided, however, that the
Diocese shall be under no obligation to provide documents to the Committee (i) that are subject
to attorney-client privilege, attorney work product doctrine, or any other applicable protections
of similar effect, or (ii) that concern information subject to a pending or sustained objection
asserted by the affected parish in response to the Motion of the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors for Entry of an Order Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2004 Directing Debtor to Produce
Parish Information [Docket No. 540]. To the extent documents or information are withheld
under a claim of privilege or due to a parish objection, the Diocese shall provide a log
documenting the withheld documents or information and the basis for each.
5. To the extent not otherwise included in the Transfer Notice, the Diocese shall
supplement the Transfer Notice regarding a sale or transfer of real property, until the sale or
transfer is consummated, to include: (i) all appraisals of the real property to be transferred
conducted within the previous five years that are in the possession of the Diocese or the
applicable parish, and (ii) the intended use of $50,000 or more in a single transaction (or in a
series of transactions aggregating $50,000 or more) of the proceeds from such a sale or transfer.

6. The Consent Order is further hereby amended to allow for plaintiffs in the CVA
Actions to move to amend their captions, as may be necessary, to substitute an estate or
representative (such as an executor, trustee or guardian) of plaintiff or plaintiff’s estate in the
event of the death or disability of a plaintiff, as well as to allow parties to respond to such
motion, for the court presiding over the applicable CVA Action to enter any applicable relief
with respect to such motion, and for plaintiff to take all necessary steps to effectuate the
substitution of plaintiff (including by filing an amended or revised complaint in the CVA
Action). Upon completion of the substitution of plaintiff, the CVA Case shall be stayed pursuant
to the terms of this Consent Order.
7. The Consent Order is further hereby amended to permit the parties to a particular
CVA Action to enter into a joint stipulation, with the consent of the Diocese, that authorizes the
parties to such CVA Action to take any appropriate action in such CVA Action without further
relief from the Bankruptcy Court.
8. Notwithstanding Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h), the terms and conditions of this
Stipulation and Agreed Order are immediately effective and enforceable upon its entry.
9. The Diocese is authorized to file a copy of this Stipulation and Agreed Order with
any court in which a pending CVA Action is or may hereafter become pending as proof that such
action is stayed and enjoined as set forth in the Consent Order.
10. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit or affect any party’s right to seek
appropriate relief from this Court to the extent necessary to respond to any actions by a court in
which a CVA Action is pending that, but for the stay provided herein and the Consent Order,
would require a party to act before the Termination Date.
