(A)
(1) If an electric distribution utility subject to a final financing order defaults on any required payment of phase-in-recovery revenues, a court, upon application by an interested party and without limiting any other remedies available to the applicant, shall order the sequestration and payment of the revenues for the benefit of bondholders, any assignee, and any financing parties. The court order shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any bankruptcy, reorganization, or other insolvency proceedings with respect to the electric distribution utility or any affiliate.
(2) Notwithstanding division (A)(1) of this section, customers of an electric distribution utility shall be held harmless for the electric distribution utility's failure to remit any required payment of phase-in-recovery revenues, and such failure shall in no way affect the phase-in-recovery property or the rights to impose, collect, and adjust the phase-in-recovery charges under sections 4928.23 to 4928.2318 of the Revised Code.
(B) Phase-in-recovery property under a final financing order and the interests of an assignee, bondholder, or financing party in that property under a financing agreement are not subject to setoff, counterclaim, surcharge, or defense by the electric distribution utility subject to the final financing order or any other person, including as a result of the electric distribution utility's failure to provide past, present, or future services, or in connection with the bankruptcy, reorganization, or other insolvency proceeding of the electric distribution utility, any affiliate, or any other entity.
