9 31969455.3 J. Transmittal and Mailing of Materials; Notice. 11. As evidenced by the Solicitation Affidavit, the Publication Affidavit, and the Voting Report, the Debtors provided due, adequate, and sufficient notice of the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the opportunity to opt out of the Third-Party Release, the Disclosure Statement Order, the Solicitation Packages, the Confirmation Hearing Notice, the Plan Supplement, and all of the other materials distributed by the Debtors in connection with the Confirmation in compliance with the Bankruptcy Rules, including Bankruptcy Rules 2002(b), 3017, 3019, and 3020(b), the Bankruptcy Local Rules, and the procedures set forth in the Disclosure Statement Order. The Debtors provided due, adequate, and sufficient notice of the Voting and Plan Objection Deadline, the Confirmation Hearing (as may be continued from time to time), and any applicable bar dates and hearings described in the Disclosure Statement Order in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Bankruptcy Local Rules, and the Disclosure Statement Order.

The Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 9 of 151


 
10 31969455.3 procedures used to solicit and tabulate ballots were fair and conducted in accordance with the Disclosure Statement Order, the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Bankruptcy Local Rules, and all other applicable rules, laws, and regulations. 14. As set forth in the Plan and the Disclosure Statement, Holders of Claims or Interests in Classes 3, 4, 5, and 6 (collectively, the “Voting Classes”) were eligible to vote to accept or reject the Plan in accordance with the Solicitation Procedures. Holders of Claims in Classes 1 and 2 (collectively, “Deemed Accepting Classes”) are Unimpaired and conclusively presumed to accept the Plan and, therefore, did not vote to accept or reject the Plan. Holders of Claims and Interests in Classes 9 and 10 (collectively, “Deemed Rejecting Classes”) are Impaired under the Plan, entitled to no recovery under the Plan, and are therefore deemed to have rejected the Plan. Holders of Intercompany Claims in Class 7 and Holders of Intercompany Interests in Class 8 are Unimpaired and conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan (to the extent reinstated) or are Impaired and deemed to reject the Plan (to the extent cancelled and released), and, in either event, are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. 15. As evidenced by the Voting Report, Classes 3, 4, and 5 voted to accept the Plan at each Debtor and Class 6 voted to accept the Plan at Debtors Invacare Corporation and Freedom Designs, Inc.

The Plan and all modifications thereto are dated and identify the Entities submitting them, thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a). The Debtors appropriately filed the Disclosure Statement and the Plan with the Bankruptcy Court, thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Rule 3016(b). The injunction, release, and exculpation provisions in Plan, as described in the Disclosure Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 10 of 151


 
11 31969455.3 Statement, describe in bold font and with specific and conspicuous language, all acts to be enjoined and identify the Entities that will be subject to the injunction, thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Rule 3016(c). N. Burden of Proof. 17. The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have met their burden of proving the elements of sections 1129(a) and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code by a preponderance of the evidence, the applicable evidentiary standard for Confirmation of the Plan. Further, the Debtors have proven the elements of sections 1129(a) and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code by clear and convincing evidence. Each witness who testified on behalf of the Debtors in connection with the Confirmation Hearing was credible, reliable, and qualified to testify as to the topics addressed in his or her testimony. O. Compliance with the Requirements of Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. 18. The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code as follows: a. Section 1129(a)(1)—Compliance of the Plan with Applicable Provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. 19. The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 1122 and 1123, as required by section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. i. Sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1)—Proper Classification. 20. The classification of Claims and Interests under the Plan is proper under the Bankruptcy Code. In accordance with sections 1122(a) and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan provides for the separate classification of Claims and Interests at each Debtor into Classes, based on differences in the legal nature or priority of such Claims and Interests (other Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 11 of 151


 
12 31969455.3 than DIP Claims, General Administrative Claims, Professional Claims, and Priority Tax Claims, which are addressed in Article II of the Plan and Unimpaired, and are required not to be designated as separate Classes by section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code). Valid business, factual, and legal reasons exist for the separate classification of the various Classes of Claims and Interests created under the Plan, the classifications were not implemented for any improper purpose, and the creation of such Classes does not unfairly discriminate between or among Holders of Claims or Interests. 21. In accordance with section 1122(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, each Class of Claims or Interests contains only Claims or Interests substantially similar to the other Claims or Interests within that Class. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of sections 1122(a), 1122(b), and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. ii. Section 1123(a)(2)—Specification of Unimpaired Classes. 22. Article III of the Plan specifies that Claims and Interests in the Deemed Accepting Classes are Unimpaired under the Plan. In addition, Article II of the Plan specifies that DIP Claims, General Administrative Claims, Professional Claims, and Priority Tax Claims are Unimpaired, although the Plan does not classify these Claims. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. iii. Section 1123(a)(3)—Specification of Treatment of Voting Classes. 23. Article III of the Plan specifies the treatment of each Voting Class under the Plan. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. iv. Section 1123(a)(4)—No Discrimination. 24. Article III of the Plan provides the same treatment by the Debtors for each Claim or Interest in any particular Class, as the case may be, unless the Holder of a particular Claim or Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 12 of 151


 
13 31969455.3 Interest has agreed to a less favorable treatment with respect to such Claim or Interest. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code. v. Section 1123(a)(5)—Adequate Means for Plan Implementation. 25. The Plan and the various documents included in the Plan Supplement provide adequate and proper means for the Plan’s execution and implementation, including, among other things: (a) the general settlement of Claims and Interests; (b) authorization for the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and/or Reorganized Invacare (or any of its subsidiaries) to take all actions necessary or appropriate to effectuate the Plan, including, without limitation, the Restructuring Transactions and any and all actions set forth in the Restructuring Transactions Memorandum; (c) the adoption, authorization, and entry of the New Organizational Documents; (d) the consummation of the Rights Offering in accordance with the Plan, the Rights Offering Procedures and the Backstop Commitment Agreement; (e) the authorization, approval and execution of the Exit Term Loan Facility, the Exit Term Loan Agreement and the Exit Term Loan Facility Documents; (f) the execution of the Exit ABL Agreement and Exit ABL Facility Documents (if any); (g) the authorization, approval and execution of the Exit Secured Convertible Notes Indenture and Exit Secured Convertible Notes Documents; (h) the issuance of New Common Equity and New Convertible Preferred Equity (including the New Common Equity issuable upon conversion of the New Convertible Preferred Equity) in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Restructuring Transactions Memorandum, the New Organizational Documents, applicable law (including applicable securities law), the Backstop Commitment Agreement, and the Rights Offering Procedures; (i) the authorization, approval, and entry of corporate actions under the Plan; (j) the appointment of the New Board; (k) entry into the Management Incentive Plan and the reservation of equity for future distribution in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 13 of 151


 
14 31969455.3 Management Incentive Plan; (l) the vesting of the assets of the Debtors’ estates in the Reorganized Debtors; (m) except as otherwise provided in the Plan and this Confirmation Order, the cancellation of all notes, instruments, certificates, and other documents evidencing Claims or Interests; (n) the cancellation of restricted stock units; (o) except as otherwise provided in the Plan and this Confirmation Order, the preservation of any and all Causes of Action; (p) the effectuation and implementation of documents and further transactions; (q) the cancellation of existing securities and related agreements; (r) the continuance of certain agreements, obligations, instruments, and Interests; (s) the creation and establishment of the Litigation Trust; (t) the transfer of the Litigation Trust Assets to the Litigation Trust; (u) the appointment of the Litigation Trustee; and (v) the issuance of the Litigation Trust interests in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Litigation Trust Agreement. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code. vi. Section 1123(a)(6)—Non-Voting Equity Securities. 26. The New Organizational Documents and the Plan prohibit the issuance of non-voting equity securities. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code. vii. Section 1123(a)(7)—Directors, Officers, and Trustees. 27. The selection of the members of the New Board, the officers of Reorganized Invacare (to the extent known) and the Litigation Trustee are set forth in the Plan Supplement, which is consistent with the interests of creditors and equity holders and with public policy. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code. Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 14 of 151


 
15 31969455.3 b. Section 1123(b)—Permissive Contents of the Plan. 28. The Plan contains various discretionary provisions that are permitted by section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any such provision complies with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and is not inconsistent with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Thus, the Plan satisfies section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. i. Impairment/Unimpairment of Any Class of Claims or Interests. 29. Article III of the Plan Impairs or leaves Unimpaired, as the case may be, each Class of Claims or Interests, as contemplated by section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. ii. Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. 30. Article V of the Plan provides for the assumption of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases as of the Effective Date unless such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease: (a) previously was assumed or rejected by the Debtors; (b) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms; (c) is the subject of a motion to reject Filed on or before the Effective Date; or (d) is identified on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease Schedule. iii. Compromise and Settlement. 31. In accordance with section 1123(b)(3)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of the Plan constitute a good-faith compromise and settlement of all Claims, Interests, Causes of Action, and controversies relating to the contractual, legal, and subordination rights that all Holders of Claims or Interests may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or Interest or any distribution to be made on account of such Allowed Claim or Interest. The Plan Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 15 of 151


 
16 31969455.3 incorporates a settlement with the Debtors, the Ad Hoc Committee of Noteholders, Highbridge Capital Management LLC, and the Committee (the “Settlement”) of numerous claims and Causes of Action, issues, and disputes, as well as the settlement with Birlasoft Solutions Inc. pursuant to the Order (I) Approving a Settlement with Birlasoft Solutions Inc., (II) Authorizing the Debtors to Enter Into and Perform Under a Settlement with Birlasoft Solutions Inc. and (III) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 447], designed to achieve a beneficial and efficient resolution of the Chapter 11 Cases for all parties in interest. Such Settlement is the product of extensive arm’s-length, good faith negotiations that resulted in, among other things, the Plan and the execution of the amended Backstop Commitment Agreement, which documents represent a fair and reasonable compromise of all Claims, Interests, Causes of Action and controversies and entry into which represented a sound exercise of the Debtors’ business judgment. 32. Accordingly, in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided under the Plan, this Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Settlement as well as a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that such Settlement is in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, and the Holders of Claims and Interests and is fair, equitable, and reasonable. 33. Based upon the representations and arguments of counsel to the Debtors and all other testimony either actually given or proffered and other evidence introduced at the Confirmation Hearing and the full record of the Chapter 11 Cases, this Confirmation Order constitutes the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Settlement incorporated in the Plan and this Confirmation Order, because, among other things: (a) the Settlement reflects a reasonable balance between the possible success of litigation with respect to each of the settled claims and disputes, on the one hand, and the benefits of fully and finally resolving such claims and disputes and Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 16 of 151


 
17 31969455.3 allowing the Debtors to expeditiously exit chapter 11, on the other hand; (b) absent the Settlement, there is a likelihood of complex and protracted litigation involving, among other things, the Settlement, with the attendant expense, inconvenience, and delay that have a possibility to derail the Debtors’ reorganization efforts; (c) each of the parties supporting the Settlement are represented by counsel that is recognized as being knowledgeable, competent, and experienced; (d) the Settlement is the product of arm’s-length bargaining and good faith negotiations between sophisticated parties; and (e) the Settlement is fair, equitable, and reasonable and in the best interests of the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, their respective Estates and property, creditors, and other parties in interest, will maximize the value of the Estates by preserving and protecting the ability of the Reorganized Debtors to continue operating outside of bankruptcy protection and in the ordinary course of business, and is essential to the successful implementation of the Plan. Based on the foregoing, the Settlement satisfies the requirements of applicable Fifth Circuit law for approval of settlements and compromises pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019. iv. Debtor Release. 34. The releases of claims and Causes of Action by the Debtors described in Article VIII.C of the Plan and incorporated into this Confirmation Order in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Debtor Release”) represent a valid exercise of the Debtors’ business judgment under Bankruptcy Rule 9019. The Debtors’ or the Reorganized Debtors’ pursuit of any such claims or Causes of Action against the Released Parties is not in the best interests of the Estates’ or the Debtors’ various constituencies because the costs involved would outweigh any potential benefit from pursuing such claims or Causes of Action. The Debtor Release is fair and equitable and complies with the absolute priority rule. Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 17 of 151


 
18 31969455.3 35. The Debtor Release is an integral part of the Plan and the settlements embodied therein and in this Confirmation Order, and is in the best interests of the Debtors’ Estates as a component of the comprehensive settlement implemented under the Plan. The probability of success in litigation with respect to the released claims and Causes of Action, when weighed against the costs, supports the Debtor Release. Each of the Released Parties made significant concessions and contributions to these Chapter 11 Cases. The Plan, including the Debtor Release, was negotiated before and after the Petition Date by sophisticated parties represented by able counsel and advisors, including the Consenting Stakeholders (as defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement), the DIP Lenders, and the Committee. Holders of Claims and Interests entitled to vote have overwhelmingly voted in favor of the Plan, including the Debtor Release. The Debtor Release is therefore the result of an arm’s-length negotiation process conducted in good faith. 36. The Debtor Release for the Debtors’ directors and officers is appropriate because the Debtors’ directors and officers share an identity of interest with the Debtors, supported and made substantial contributions to the success of the Plan, these Chapter 11 Cases, and the operation of the Debtors’ business during the Chapter 11 Cases, actively participated in meetings, hearings, and negotiations during these Chapter 11 Cases, and have provided other valuable consideration to the Debtors to facilitate the Debtors’ successful reorganization and continued operation. The Debtor Release for the DIP Lenders, each DIP Agent, the Consenting Term Loan Lenders, the Consenting Secured Noteholders, the Consenting Unsecured Noteholders, Azurite Management LLC, each Agent/ Trustee, each Backstop Party, each of the Exit Facilities Lenders, each Exit Secured Noteholder, and each Backstop Party is appropriate because these parties have agreed, among other things, to equitize or otherwise restructure a significant portion of their Claims in Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 18 of 151


 
19 31969455.3 order to significantly deleverage the Debtors’ prepetition capital structure, provide additional liquidity, provided additional financing for the Debtors’ emergence from chapter 11 after the Effective Date, or have otherwise provided financing and made other contributions of value to the Debtors’ restructuring. In particular, the Consenting Term Loan Lender and the Consenting Secured Noteholders consented to the use of their cash collateral, which provided the liquidity and financing necessary to fund the administration of the Chapter 11 Cases, and agreed to accept a partial pay down of their Claims, with the remainder of their Claims satisfied by debt issued by the Reorganized Debtors in accordance with the terms set forth in the Plan. The DIP Term Loan Lenders provided a $70 million debtor-in-possession facility to finance the Chapter 11 Cases. The Exit Term Loan Facility Lender and the Exit Secured Noteholders agreed to provide a $80 million Exit Term Loan Facility and $46.5 million of Exit Secured Convertible Notes and to permit the Company to obtain, to the extent needed, the Exit ABL Facility, in each case pursuant to the Restructuring Support Agreement. The Debtor Release for the Committee and its members (solely in their capacities as Committee members) is appropriate because the Committee contributed to the Debtors’ restructuring process by negotiating on behalf of unsecured creditors and ultimately facilitating the Settlement and supporting the Plan. The Debtor Release for the members of the Ad Hoc Committee of Noteholders is appropriate because the Ad Hoc Committee of Noteholders have agreed, among other things, to equitize or otherwise restructure a significant portion of their Claims in order to significantly deleverage the Debtors’ prepetition capital structure, serve as Backstop Parties, and otherwise contribute to the Debtors’ restructuring efforts through support the Plan. The Debtor Release for the ABL Agent, ABL Lenders, DIP ABL Agent, and DIP ABL Lenders is appropriate because the ABL Agent, ABL Lenders, DIP ABL Agent, and DIP ABL Lenders consented to the use of their cash collateral, which provided the liquidity and financing Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 19 of 151


 
20 31969455.3 necessary to fund the administration of the Chapter 11 Cases, and agreed to provide ongoing services to the Reorganized Debtors. 37. The Debtor Release appropriately offers protection to parties that provided consideration to the Debtors and that participated in the Debtors’ restructuring process. Specifically, the Released Parties under the Plan, including: (a) each Debtor; (b) each Reorganized Debtor (including Reorganized Invacare); (c) each of the Debtors’ current and former directors and officers; (d) each DIP Term Loan Lender; (e) each DIP Term Loan Agent; (f) the Consenting Term Loan Lender; (g) the Consenting Secured Noteholders; (h) the Consenting Unsecured Noteholders; (i) Azurite Management LLC; (j) each Agent/Trustee (other than the DIP ABL Agent and ABL Agent); (k) each Backstop Party; (l) the Exit Facilities Lenders; (m) the Exit Secured Noteholders; (n) the Committee and the members of the Committee (solely in their capacities as Committee members and not in their individual capacities); (o) each current and former Affiliate of each Entity in clause (a) through the following clause (p); and (p) each Related Party of each Entity in clause (a) through clause (o) made significant concessions and contributions to the Chapter 11 Cases, including, as applicable, entering into settlements and actively supporting the Plan and the Chapter 11 Cases; provided that, in each case, an Entity is not a Released Party: (w) if it elects to opt out of the release contained in Article VIII.D of the Plan; (x) if it timely Files with the Bankruptcy Court on the docket of the Chapter 11 Cases an objection to the releases contained in Article VIII.D of the Plan and such objection is not resolved before Confirmation; (y) with respect to Non-Released LT Claims, if it is a Non-Released LT Party; or (z) if it is an ABL Released Party. 38. As such, the Debtor Release is: (1) in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Released Parties, including the Released Parties’ contributions to Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 20 of 151


 
21 31969455.3 facilitating the Restructuring Transactions and implementing the Plan; (2) a good faith settlement and compromise of the Claims released by the Debtor Release; (3) in the best interests of the Debtors and all Holders of Claims and Interests; (4) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (5) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (6) a bar to any of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Debtors’ Estates asserting any Claim or Cause of Action of any kind whatsoever released pursuant to the Debtor Release. In light of the foregoing, the Debtor Release is approved. v. Release by Holders of Claims and Interests. 39. The release by the Releasing Parties and the ABL Releasing Parties set forth in Article VIII.D of the Plan and incorporated into this Confirmation Order (the “Third-Party Release”) is an essential provision of the Plan. The Third-Party Release is: (1) consensual; (2) specific in language and scope; (3) essential to the Confirmation of the Plan; (4) given in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Released Parties, including the Released Parties’ contributions to facilitating the Restructuring Transactions and implementing the Plan; (5) a good faith settlement and compromise of the Claims released by the Third-Party Release; (6) in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates; (7) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (8) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (9) a bar to any of the Releasing Parties or the ABL Releasing Parties asserting any claim or Cause of Action of any kind whatsoever released pursuant to the Third-Party Release. 40. The Third-Party Release is an integral part of the Plan. Similar to the Debtor Release, the Third-Party Release was integral to the formulation of the Plan, including the Settlement embodied therein and in this Confirmation Order, and the participation of the Released Parties in the Plan and the chapter 11 process generally. The Third-Party Release was critical in Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 21 of 151


 
22 31969455.3 incentivizing the Released Parties to support the Plan and the Settlement and preventing potentially significant and time-consuming litigation. The Third-Party Release appropriately offers certain protections to parties who constructively participated in the Debtors’ restructuring process by, among other things, supporting the Plan and the Settlement. Furthermore, the Third-Party Release is consensual, as the Releasing Parties and the ABL Releasing Parties were provided notice of the chapter 11 proceedings, the Plan, the deadline to object to confirmation of the Plan, and the Confirmation Hearing. Additionally, voting creditors and non-voting parties were given the opportunity to opt out of the Third-Party Release, and the release provisions of the Plan were conspicuous and emphasized with boldface type in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, and the applicable ballots or opt out form. 41. The scope of the Third-Party Release is appropriately tailored under the facts and circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases, and parties received due and adequate notice of the Third-Party Release. Among other things, the Plan provides appropriate and specific disclosure with respect to the claims and Causes of Action that are subject to the Third-Party Release, and no other disclosure is necessary. The Debtors, as evidenced by the Solicitation Affidavit and Publication Affidavit, provided sufficient notice of the Third-Party Release, and no further or other notice is necessary. The Third-Party Release is consistent with established practice in this jurisdiction and others. The Third-Party Release is specific in language, integral to the Plan and the Settlement, and given for substantial consideration. vi. Exculpation. 42. The exculpation provision set forth in Article VIII.E of the Plan and incorporated into this Confirmation Order is essential to the Plan. The record in the Chapter 11 Cases fully supports the exculpation and the exculpation provisions set forth in Article VIII.E of the Plan, Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 22 of 151


 
23 31969455.3 which are appropriately tailored to protect the Exculpated Parties from inappropriate litigation. The exculpation, including the carveout for actual fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, is consistent with established practice in this jurisdiction and others. The Exculpated Parties subject to the exculpation provision have, and upon entry of this Confirmation Order will be deemed to have, participated in good faith and in compliance with all applicable laws with regard to the distribution of recoveries under the Plan and, therefore, are not, and on account of such distributions shall not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation governing the solicitation or such distributions made pursuant to the Plan. Based on the evidence before the Court, the Exculpation, including its carveout for actual fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, complies with the requirements established by In re Highland Cap. Mgmt., L.P., 48 F.4th 419, 435 (5th Cir. 2022). vii. Injunction. 43. The injunction provisions set forth in Article VIII.F of the Plan are essential to the Plan and are necessary to implement the Plan and to preserve and enforce the discharge, the Debtor Release, the Third-Party Release, and the exculpation provisions in Article VIII.F of the Plan. The injunction provisions are fair and reasonable and appropriately tailored to achieve those purposes. viii. Preservation of Claims and Causes of Action. 44. Article IV.J of the Plan, as well as the Plan Supplement, appropriately provides for the preservation by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors of certain Causes of Action in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Causes of Action not released by the Debtors or exculpated under the Plan will be retained by the Reorganized Debtors (and in the case of the Non-Released LT Claims, assigned to the Litigation Trust) as provided by the Plan. The Plan is sufficiently specific with respect to the Causes of Action to be retained by the Debtors (and Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 23 of 151


 
24 31969455.3 with respect to those being assigned to the Litigation Trust), and the Plan and Plan Supplement provide meaningful disclosure with respect to the potential Causes of Action that the Debtors may retain, and all parties in interest received adequate notice with respect to such retained Causes of Action and those being assigned to the Litigation Trust. The provisions regarding Causes of Action in the Plan are appropriate and in the best interests of the Debtors, their respective Estates, and Holders of Claims or Interests. For the avoidance of any doubt, Causes of Action released or exculpated under the Plan will not be retained by the Reorganized Debtors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, on the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall waive and release all Avoidance Actions and such Avoidance Actions shall not be retained Causes of Action. ix. Lien Releases. 45. The release and discharge of certain mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges or other security interest against any property of the Estates set forth in Article VIII.B. of the Plan (the “Lien Releases”) are necessary to implement the Plan. The Lien Releases are appropriate, fair, equitable, and reasonable and in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, and Holders of Claims and Interests. x. Additional Plan Provisions. 46. The other discretionary provisions of the Plan are appropriate and consistent with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, provisions for the allowance of certain Claims, treatment of indemnification obligations, and the retention of court jurisdiction. Thus, the Plan satisfies section 1123(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code. c. Section 1123(d)—Cure of Defaults. 47. Article V.C of the Plan provides for the satisfaction of Cure Claims associated with each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed in accordance with section 365(b)(1) Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 24 of 151


 
25 31969455.3 of the Bankruptcy Code. Any monetary defaults under each assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the default amount in Cash on the Effective Date, subject to the limitations described in Article V.C of the Plan, or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases may otherwise agree. Any disputed cure amounts will be determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article V.C of the Plan, and applicable bankruptcy and nonbankruptcy law. As such, the Plan provides that the Debtors will cure, or provide adequate assurance that the Debtors will promptly cure, defaults with respect to assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases in accordance with section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. On April 17, 2023, the Debtors filed the Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Schedule, which listed a proposed cure amount, based on the Debtors’ books and records, for each Executory Contract and Unexpired Leases to be assumed. As soon as was reasonably practicable thereafter, the Debtors served sufficient notice on the counterparties to such Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. Thus, the Plan complies with section 1123(d) of the Bankruptcy Code. d. Section 1129(a)(2)—Compliance of the Debtors and Others with the Applicable Provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. 48. The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have complied with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code as required by section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 1122, 1123, 1124, 1125, 1126, 1128, and 1129, and Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 3017, 3018, and 3019. 49. The Debtors and their agents solicited votes to accept or reject the Plan after the Bankruptcy Court approved the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement pursuant to section 1125(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and the Disclosure Statement Order. Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 25 of 151


 
26 31969455.3 50. The Debtors and their agents have solicited and tabulated votes on the Plan and have participated in the activities described in section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code fairly, in good faith within the meaning of section 1125(e), and in a manner consistent with the applicable provisions of the Disclosure Statement Order, the Disclosure Statement, the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Bankruptcy Local Rules, and all other applicable rules, laws, and regulations and are entitled to the protections afforded by section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and the exculpation provisions set forth in Article VIII.E of the Plan. The Debtors, the Debtors’ directors and officers, the Debtors’ respective Affiliates, agents, representatives, members, principals, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, advisors, attorneys, together with the Released Parties, the ABL Released Parties, and the Exculpated Parties, have participated in good faith and in compliance with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, in the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of New Common Equity (including the New Common Equity issuable upon conversion of the New Convertible Preferred Equity), New Convertible Preferred Equity, and Litigation Trust Interests, offered and sold under the Plan (including without limitation pursuant to the New Organizational Documents, the Backstop Commitment Agreement, the Rights Offering Procedures, and the Litigation Trust Agreement, as applicable) and any previous plan, and neither any of such parties or individuals nor the Reorganized Debtors will have any liability for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of votes on the Plan or the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of the Securities offered and sold under the Plan and any previous plan. 51. The Debtors and their agents have participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to the offering, issuance, and distribution of recoveries under the Plan and therefore are not, and on account of such distributions Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 26 of 151


 
27 31969455.3 will not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or distributions made pursuant to the Plan, so long as such distributions are made consistent with and pursuant to the Plan. 52. Each of the Released Parties, the ABL Released Parties, and Exculpated Parties have acted in good faith within the meaning of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and in compliance with, and in a manner consistent with, the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the Bankruptcy Rules and all other applicable rules, laws and regulations in connection with all of their respective activities relating to support and consummation of the Plan, including the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of the Restructuring Support Agreement, and are entitled to the protections of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and all other protections and rights provided in the Plan. e. Section 1129(a)(3)—Proposal of Plan in Good Faith. 53. The Debtors have proposed the Plan (and all documents necessary to effectuate the Plan) in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law. In determining that the Plan has been proposed in good faith, the Bankruptcy Court has examined the totality of the circumstances surrounding the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan itself, and the process leading to its formulation. The Debtors’ good faith is evident from the facts and record of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Disclosure Statement, the hearing on the Disclosure Statement, and the record of the Confirmation Hearing and other proceedings held in the Chapter 11 Cases. 54. The Plan and the contracts, instruments, releases, agreements, and other documents necessary and related to implementing, effectuating, and consummating the Plan, including the Exit Facilities Documents, are the product of good faith, arm’s-length negotiations by and among the Debtors, the Debtors’ directors and officers, and the other constituencies involved (including Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 27 of 151


 
28 31969455.3 the Consenting Stakeholders (as defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement), the DIP Lenders, the Committee, each member of the Committee), and their respective representatives and professionals. The Plan itself and the process leading to its formulation provide independent evidence of the Debtors’ and such other parties’ good faith, serve the public interest, and assure fair treatment of Holders of Claims or Interests. Consistent with the overriding purpose of chapter 11, the Debtors filed the Chapter 11 Cases with the belief that the Debtors were in need of reorganization and the Plan was negotiated and proposed with the intention of accomplishing a successful reorganization and maximizing stakeholder value, and for no ulterior purpose. Accordingly, the requirements of section 1129(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code are satisfied. 55. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as appropriate, the Consenting Stakeholders, and the Exit Facilities Lenders have been, are, and will continue acting in good faith if they proceed to: (a) consummate the Plan, the Restructuring Transactions, the Rights Offering, the Exit Facilities, and the agreements, settlements, transactions, and transfers contemplated thereby; and (b) take the actions authorized and directed or contemplated by this Confirmation Order. Therefore, the Plan has been proposed in good faith to achieve a result consistent with the objectives and purposes of the Bankruptcy Code. 56. The Unsecured Notes Trustee diligently and in good faith discharged its duties and obligations pursuant to the Unsecured Notes Documents and otherwise conducted itself with respect to all matters in any way related to the Unsecured Notes Claims, with the same degree of care and skill that a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims have not received disparate treatment under the Plan and their treatment is consistent with the terms and conditions under the Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 28 of 151


 
29 31969455.3 Unsecured Notes Documents. Accordingly, the Unsecured Notes Trustee has discharged its duties fully and in accordance with the Unsecured Notes Documents. 57. The Secured Notes Trustee diligently and in good faith discharged its duties and obligations pursuant to the Secured Notes Indenture and related documents and otherwise conducted itself with respect to all matters in any way related to the Secured Notes Claims, with the same degree of care and skill that a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Holders of Secured Notes Claims have not received disparate treatment under the Plan and their treatment is consistent with the terms and conditions under the Secured Notes Indenture and related documents. Accordingly, the Secured Notes Trustee has discharged its duties fully and in accordance with the Secured Notes Indenture and related documents. f. Section 1129(a)(4)—Court Approval of Certain Payments as Reasonable. 58. Any payment made or to be made by the Debtors, or by a person issuing securities or acquiring property under the Plan, for services or costs and expenses in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, or in connection with the Plan and incident to the Chapter 11 Cases, has been approved by, or is subject to the approval of, the Bankruptcy Court as reasonable. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(4). g. Section 1129(a)(5)—Disclosure of Directors and Officers and Consistency with the Interests of Creditors and Public Policy. 59. The Reorganized Debtors’ directors and officers, and the Litigation Trustee, are qualified and were selected in a manner consistent with the interests of Holders of Claims and Interests and with public policy. Their identities were, to the extent reasonably practicable and Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 29 of 151


 
30 31969455.3 known to the Debtors, disclosed in the Plan Supplement. Accordingly, the Debtors have satisfied the requirements of section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code. h. Section 1129(a)(6)—Rate Changes. 60. The Plan does not contain any rate changes subject to the jurisdiction of any governmental regulatory commission and therefore will not require governmental regulatory approval. Therefore, section 1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code does not apply to the Plan. i. Section 1129(a)(7)—Best Interests of Holders of Claims and Interests. 61. The evidence in support of the Plan that was proffered or adduced at the Confirmation Hearing, including the Liquidation Analysis, and the facts and circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases, establish that each Holder of Allowed Claims or Interests in each Class will recover as much or more value under the Plan on account of such Claim or Interest, as of the Effective Date, than the amount such Holder would receive if the Debtors were liquidated on the Effective Date under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code or has accepted the Plan. As a result, the Debtors have demonstrated that the Plan is in the best interests of their creditors and equity holders and the requirements of section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code are satisfied. j. Section 1129(a)(8)—Conclusive Presumption of Acceptance by Unimpaired Classes; Acceptance of the Plan by Certain Voting Classes. 62. The Deemed Accepting Classes are Unimpaired under the Plan and are deemed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. Additionally, Classes 3, 4, and 5 voted to accept the Plan at each Debtor and Class 6 voted to accept the Plan at Debtor Invacare Corporation and Debtor Freedom Designs, Inc. Holders of Claims and Interests in Classes 7 and 8 are Unimpaired and conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan (to the extent reinstated) or are Impaired and deemed to reject the Plan (to the extent cancelled), and, in either Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 30 of 151


 
31 31969455.3 event, are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. Pursuant to the Plan, Holders of Claims and Interests in Classes 9 and 10 receive no recovery on account of their Claims and Interests and are deemed to reject the Plan. Nevertheless, because the Plan has not been accepted by the Rejecting Classes, the Debtors seek Confirmation, solely with respect to the Rejecting Classes, under section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, rather than section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code. Although the Plan does not satisfy section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Rejecting Classes, the Plan is confirmable because the Plan does not discriminate unfairly and is fair and equitable with respect to the Rejecting Classes, and thus satisfies section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. As a result, the requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code are satisfied. k. Section 1129(a)(9)—Treatment of Claims Entitled to Priority Pursuant to Section 507(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. 63. The treatment of DIP Claims, General Administrative Claims, Professional Claims, and Priority Tax Claims under Article II of the Plan satisfies the requirements of, and complies in all respects with, section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code. l. Section 1129(a)(10)—Acceptance by at Least One Voting Class. 64. As set forth in the Voting Report, multiple Impaired Classes that were entitled to vote on the Plan, including Classes 3, 4, and 5 at each Debtor and Class 6 at Debtor Invacare Corporation and Debtor Freedom Designs, Inc., voted to accept the Plan. As such, there is at least one Voting Class that has accepted the Plan, determined without including any acceptance of the Plan by any insider (as defined by the Bankruptcy Code), for each Debtor. Accordingly, the requirements of section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code are satisfied. Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 31 of 151


 
32 31969455.3 m. Section 1129(a)(11)—Feasibility of the Plan. 65. The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code. The evidence supporting the Plan proffered or adduced by the Debtors at or before the Confirmation Hearing: (a) is reasonable, persuasive, credible, and accurate as of the dates such evidence was prepared, presented, or proffered; (b) utilizes reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions; (c) has not been controverted by other persuasive evidence; (d) establishes that the Plan is feasible and Confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by liquidation, or the need for further financial reorganization of the Reorganized Debtors or any successor to the Reorganized Debtors under the Plan, except as provided in the Plan; (e) establishes that the Debtors will have sufficient funds available to meet their obligations under the Plan— including sufficient amounts of Cash to reasonably ensure payment of Allowed Claims that will receive Cash distributions pursuant to the terms of the Plan, to provide the Litigation Trust Funding, and the funding of the Professional Fee Escrow Account and other Cash payments required under the Plan; and (f) establishes that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will have the financial wherewithal to pay any Claims that accrue, become payable, or are allowed by Final Order following the Effective Date. 66. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code. n. Section 1129(a)(12)—Payment of Statutory Fees. 67. Article XII.C of the Plan provides that all fees payable pursuant to section 1930(a) of the Judicial Code, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing in accordance with section 1128 of the Bankruptcy Code, will be paid by each of the applicable Reorganized Debtors for each quarter (including any fraction of a quarter) until the applicable Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 32 of 151


 
33 31969455.3 Chapter 11 Case of such Reorganized Debtor is converted, dismissed, or closed, whichever occurs first. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code. o. Section 1129(a)(13)—Retiree Benefits. 68. Pursuant to section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code, and as provided in Article IV.E of the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors will continue to pay all obligations on account of retiree benefits (as such term is used in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code) from and after the Effective Date in accordance with applicable law. As a result, the requirements of section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code are satisfied. p. Sections 1129(a)(14), (15), and (16)—Domestic Support Obligations, Individuals, and Nonprofit Corporations. 69. The Debtors do not owe any domestic support obligations, are not individuals, and are not nonprofit corporations. Therefore, sections 1129(a)(14), 1129(a)(15), and 1129(a)(16) of the Bankruptcy Code do not apply to the Chapter 11 Cases. q. Section 1129(b)—Confirmation of the Plan Over the Deemed Rejecting Classes. 70. Notwithstanding the fact that the Deemed Rejecting Classes have been deemed to reject the Plan, the Plan may be confirmed pursuant to section 1129(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code because: (a) at least one Voting Class at each Debtor voted to accept the Plan; and (b) the Plan does not discriminate unfairly and is fair and equitable with respect to the Deemed Rejecting Classes. Specifically, no Holder of any Claim or Interest that is junior to such Claim will receive or retain any property under the Plan on account of such junior Claim or Interest, and no Holder of a Claim in a Class senior to such Class is receiving more than 100% on account of its Claim. As a result, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Thus, Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 33 of 151


 
34 31969455.3 the Plan may be confirmed even though section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code is not satisfied. After entry of this Confirmation Order and upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Plan shall be binding upon the members of the Voting Classes that voted to reject the Plan. r. Section 1129(c)—Only One Plan. 71. Other than the Plan (including previous versions thereof), no other plan has been filed in the Chapter 11 Cases. Accordingly, the requirements of section 1129(c) of the Bankruptcy Code are satisfied. s. Section 1129(d)—Principal Purpose of the Plan Is Not Avoidance of Taxes or Section 5 of the Securities Act. 72. No Governmental Unit has requested that the Bankruptcy Court refuse to confirm the Plan on the grounds that the principal purpose of the Plan is the avoidance of taxes or the avoidance of the application of section 5 of the Securities Act. As evidenced by its terms, the principal purpose of the Plan is not such avoidance. Accordingly, the requirements of section 1129(d) of the Bankruptcy Code have been satisfied. t. Section 1129(e)—Not Small Business Cases. 73. The Chapter 11 Cases are not small business cases, and accordingly, section 1129(e) of the Bankruptcy Code does not apply to the Chapter 11 Cases. u. Satisfaction of Confirmation Requirements. 74. Based upon the foregoing and all other pleadings and evidence proffered or adduced at or prior to the Confirmation Hearing, the Plan and the Debtors, as applicable, satisfy all the requirements for plan confirmation set forth in section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. v. Conditions to Effective Date. 75. The Plan shall not become effective unless and until the conditions set forth in Article IX.A of the Plan have been satisfied or waived pursuant to Article IX.B of the Plan.

35 31969455.3 w. Implementation. 76. All documents and agreements necessary to implement transactions contemplated by the Plan, including, without limitation, those contained, referred to, or summarized in the Plan Supplement, the New Organizational Documents, the Restructuring Transactions Memorandum, the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Backstop Commitment Agreement, the Rights Offering Documents, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Exit Facilities Documents, and related forms, agreements, and documentation, have been negotiated in good faith and at arm’s length, are in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates, and shall, upon completion of documentation and execution, be valid, binding, and enforceable documents and agreements not in conflict with any federal, state, or local law. The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and Reorganized Invacare and its subsidiaries are authorized to take any action reasonably necessary or appropriate to consummate such agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby. x. Corporate Action. 77. On or before the Effective Date, as applicable, all actions contemplated under the Plan or the Plan Supplement (including the transfers, mergers, conversions, and other actions described in the Restructuring Transactions Memorandum) shall be deemed authorized and approved in all respects. All matters provided for in the Plan involving the corporate structure of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and any corporate action required by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be in effect, without any requirement of further action by the security holders, directors, managers, or officers of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or Reorganized Invacare, as applicable. Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 35 of 151


 
36 31969455.3 y. Vesting of Assets. 78. Subject to the terms of the Plan or the Plan Supplement, or any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated in the Plan, including the Litigation Trust Agreement, on the Effective Date, all property in each Debtor’s Estate, all Causes of Action of the Debtors, and any property acquired by any of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan shall vest in each respective Reorganized Debtor, free and clear of all Liens, Claims, charges, or other encumbrances (except for Liens securing obligations under the Exit Facilities Documents). On and after the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, each Reorganized Debtor and Reorganized Invacare (and its subsidiaries) may operate its business and may use, acquire, or dispose of property and compromise or settle any Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action except for the Non- Released LT Claims (which are being transferred to the Litigation Trust) without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules. z. Treatment of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. 79. Pursuant to sections 365 and 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Plan provides for the assumption or rejection of certain Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. The Debtors’ determinations regarding the assumption or rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases are based on and within the sound business judgment of the Debtors, are necessary to the implementation of the Plan and are in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, Holders of Claims or Interests and other parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases. Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 36 of 151


 
37 31969455.3 aa. Approval of the Assumption of and Performance Under the Restructuring Support Agreement 80. The terms and conditions of the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Debtors’ assumption of and performance under the Restructuring Support Agreement are essential elements of the Plan and are in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates and Holders of Claims and Interests. The terms and conditions of the Restructuring Support Agreement are fair and reasonable, reflect the Debtors’ exercise of reasonable business judgment consistent with their fiduciary duties and are supported by reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration. The Restructuring Support Agreement was negotiated at arm’s length and in good faith, without the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor of the Debtors. bb. Approval and Authorization to Enter Into the Exit Facilities and the Exit Facilities Documents 81. The Exit Facilities and the Exit Facilities Documents are an essential element of the Plan, are necessary for consummation of the Plan, and are critical to the overall success and feasibility of the Plan. Entry into the Exit Facilities and the Exit Facilities Documents is in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, and Holders of Claims and Interests. The Debtors have exercised reasonable business judgment in determining to enter into the Exit Facilities Documents and have provided sufficient and adequate notice of the material terms of the Exit Facilities, which material terms were filed as part of the Plan, Plan Supplement, and related pleadings. The terms and conditions of the Exit Facilities are fair and reasonable and were negotiated in good faith and at arm’s length, and any credit extended and loans made pursuant to the Exit Facilities shall be deemed to have been extended, assumed and assigned, issued, or made in good faith. All fees due and payable under or in connection with the Exit Facilities are hereby approved and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, are authorized and directed to pay such fees in Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 37 of 151


 
38 31969455.3 accordance with the Exit Facilities Documents. The Debtors are authorized without further approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other party to execute and deliver the Exit Facilities Documents and execute, deliver, file, record, and issue all agreements, guarantees, instruments, mortgages, control agreements, certificates, and other documents related or incidental thereto and to perform their obligations thereunder and all transactions contemplated thereby, including the payment or reimbursement of any fees, expenses, losses, damages, or indemnities and the creation or perfection of all liens in connection therewith, in each case, without further notice to the Bankruptcy Court or further act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or the vote, consent, authorization, or approval of any Entity. cc. Issuance of New Common Equity, New Convertible Preferred Equity, and Litigation Trust Interests. 82. The issuance of the New Common Equity (including the New Common Equity issuable upon conversion of the New Preferred Equity), New Convertible Preferred Equity, and Litigation Trust Interests is an essential element of the Plan and is in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, and Holders of Claims and interests. dd. Rights Offering. 83. The Debtors solicited subscriptions to the Rights Offering in good faith pursuant to the Rights Offering Procedures set forth in the Disclosure Statement Order, applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Bankruptcy Local Rules and any applicable non-bankruptcy laws, rules or regulations, and the Rights Offering Procedures are fair, equitable, and reasonable and provide for the Rights Offering to be conducted in a manner that is in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates and Holders of Claims and Interests.

39 31969455.3 ee. Litigation Trust. 84. The terms of the Litigation Trust, the selection and appointment of Peter Kravitz as the Litigation Trustee and the terms of his compensation are fair, equitable and reasonable and in the best interest of the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, their respective Estates and property, creditors, and other parties in interest.

41 31969455.3 terms of the Plan, the Plan Supplement, all exhibits thereto, this Confirmation Order, and all other relevant and necessary documents shall, on and after the Effective Date, be binding in all respects upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors, the Debtors’ Estates and their creditors, and their respective successors and assigns, non-Debtor affiliates, any affected third parties, all Holders of Claims and Interests, whether known or unknown, against the Debtors, including, but not limited to any trustees, examiners, administrators, responsible state officers, estate representatives, or similar entities for the Debtors, if any, subsequently appointed in any of the Chapter 11 Cases or upon a conversion to chapter 7 under the Bankruptcy Code of any of the Chapter 11 Cases, and each of their respective affiliates, successors, and assigns.

The Reorganized Debtors, the applicable Non-Debtor Affiliates and the Entities granted such Liens and security interests shall be authorized to make all filings and recordings, and to obtain all governmental approvals and consents necessary, to establish and perfect such Liens and security interests under the provisions of the applicable state, federal or other law that would be applicable in the absence of the Plan and Confirmation Order (it being understood that perfection shall occur automatically by virtue of the entry of the Confirmation Order and any such filings, recordings, approvals and consents shall not be required), and will thereafter cooperate to make all other filings and recordings that otherwise would be necessary under applicable law to give notice of such Liens and security interests to third parties. Prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors may seek to obtain, and, on the Effective Date may enter into one or more Exit ABL Facilities on terms consistent with the Restructuring Term Sheet and subject to the consent rights set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement. D. Management Incentive Plan On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors will reserve exclusively for participants in the Management Incentive Plan a pool of equity interests of Reorganized Invacare or another Entity designated pursuant to the Plan to issue equity interests on the Effective Date (the “Management Incentive Plan Pool”), which may take the form of equity or equity-based awards, including, options, restricted stock units, or other equity instruments, determined on a fully diluted and fully distributed basis. The terms and conditions of the Management Incentive Plan (including the participants, forms of awards, amount of allocations and the timing of the grant of the options and other equity-based compensation), and the terms and conditions of such options and other equity-based compensation (including vesting, exercise prices, base values, hurdles, forfeiture, repurchase rights and transferability), shall be determined prior to the Effective Date and disclosed in the Plan Supplement. The terms and conditions of the Management Incentive Plan shall be approved by the New Board. None of the options or other equity-based awards under the Management Incentive Plan will vest on or prior to the Effective Date. All grants under the Management Incentive Plan shall ratably dilute all equity issued pursuant to the Plan, including any New Convertible Preferred Equity issued pursuant to the Rights Offering and the Backstop Commitment Agreement. E. Employee Matters Pursuant to the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Restructuring Term Sheet, the Consenting Stakeholders consent to (i) the continuation of the Debtors’ wages, compensation, and benefits programs according to existing terms and practices, including executive compensation programs and (ii) any motions in the Bankruptcy Court for approval thereof. All Compensation and Benefits Programs shall be treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan and deemed assumed on the Effective Date, pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, except for: (a) all employee equity or equity-based incentive plans, and any provisions set forth in the Compensation and Benefits Program that provide for rights to acquire equity interests in Invacare Corporation; (b) Compensation and Benefits Programs listed in the Plan Supplement as Executory Contracts to be rejected; (c) Compensation and Benefits Programs that have previously been rejected; and (d) Compensation and Benefits Programs that, as of the entry of the Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 119 of 151


 
35 Confirmation Order, are the subject of pending rejection procedures or a motion to reject, or have been specifically waived by the beneficiaries of any employee benefit plan or contract. No counterparty shall have rights under a Compensation and Benefits Program assumed pursuant to this Article IV.E other than those applicable immediately prior to such assumption. Consistent with the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Restructuring Term Sheet and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or otherwise, any and all Compensation and Benefit Claims (including, but not limited to, Claims relating to the Debtors’ supplemental employee retirement program) are Unimpaired and entitled to full payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code, from and after the Effective Date, Reorganized Invacare shall continue to pay and honor all retiree benefits (as such term is defined in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code), if any, in accordance with applicable law. For avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall impact or limit the ability of Reorganized Invacare (or its subsidiaries) to amend, modify, or terminate such arrangements in accordance with their terms following the Effective Date. F. Corporate Existence Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated in the Plan or the Plan Supplement, each Debtor, as Reorganized Debtors, shall continue to exist on and after the Effective Date as a separate legal Entity with all the powers available to such Entity pursuant to the applicable Law in the jurisdiction in which each applicable Debtor is incorporated or formed and pursuant to the respective certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation documents) in effect prior to the Effective Date, except to the extent such certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation documents) are amended, amended and restated, or replaced under the Plan or otherwise, including pursuant to the New Organizational Documents, in each case, consistent with the Plan, and to the extent such documents are amended in accordance therewith, such documents are deemed to be amended, amended and restated, or replaced pursuant to the Plan and require no further action or approval (other than any requisite filings required under applicable state, provincial, or federal law). On or after the Effective Date, the respective certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation documents) of one or more of the Reorganized Debtors may be amended or modified on the terms therein without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules. On or after the Effective Date, one or more of the Reorganized Debtors may be disposed of, dissolved, wound down, or liquidated without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules. G. New Organizational Documents On or immediately prior to the Effective Date, the New Organizational Documents shall be automatically adopted by the applicable Reorganized Debtors. To the extent required under the Plan or applicable non-bankruptcy law, each of the Reorganized Debtors will file its New Organizational Documents with the applicable authorities in its respective jurisdiction of organization. The New Organizational Documents shall, among other things: (i) contain terms consistent with the documentation set forth in the Plan and the Plan Supplement, (ii) authorize the issuances, distributions, exchanges and reservations under the Plan, including the New Common Equity, the Equity Rights, the New Convertible Preferred Equity and the Exit Facilities. The New Organizational Documents will prohibit the issuance of non-voting equity Securities, to the extent required under section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code. On or after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may amend and restate their respective New Organizational Documents in accordance with the terms thereof, and the Reorganized Debtors may file such amended certificates or articles of incorporation, bylaws, or such other applicable formation documents, and other constituent documents as permitted by the laws of their respective jurisdictions of incorporation or formation and the New Organizational Documents. H. Directors and Officers of the Reorganized Debtors Pursuant to section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent known, the Debtors will disclose at or prior to the Confirmation Hearing the identity and affiliations of any Person proposed to serve on the New Board. The New Board shall be selected in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Plan Supplement. Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 120 of 151


 
36 On the Effective Date, the terms of the current members of Invacare Corporation’s board of directors shall expire, and the New Board will include those directors set forth in the list of directors of Reorganized Invacare included in the Plan Supplement or selected pursuant to the procedures provided in the Plan Supplement. By the Effective Date, the officers and overall management structure of Reorganized Invacare, and all officers and management decisions with respect to Reorganized Invacare (and/or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries), compensation arrangements, and affiliate transactions shall only be subject to the approval of the New Board. By and after the Effective Date, each officer or director of the Reorganized Debtors shall be appointed and serve pursuant to the terms of their respective charters and bylaws or other formation and constituent documents and the New Organizational Documents, and applicable laws of the respective Reorganized Debtor’s jurisdiction of formation. To the extent that any such director or officer of the Reorganized Debtors is an “insider” pursuant to section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors will disclose the nature of any compensation to be paid to such director or officer. I. Vesting of Assets in the Reorganized Debtors Except as otherwise provided in the Confirmation Order, in the Plan (including the Restructuring Transactions Memorandum and Article VIII hereof), or with respect to the Litigation Trust Assets, on the Effective Date, pursuant to sections 1141(b) and (c) of the Bankruptcy Code, all property in each Estate, all Causes of Action that are not Non-Released LT Claims, and any property acquired by any of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan shall vest in each respective Reorganized Debtor, free and clear of all Liens, Claims, charges, other encumbrances, and interests. On and after the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, including Article VIII hereof, each Reorganized Debtor may operate its business and may use, acquire, or dispose of property, enter into transactions, agreements, understandings or arrangements, whether in or other than in the ordinary course of business and execute, deliver, implement and fully perform any and all obligations, instruments, documents and papers or otherwise in connection with any of the foregoing, and compromise or settle any Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action that are not Non-Released LT Claims without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules in all respects. J. Preservation of Causes of Action In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, but subject to Article VIII hereof, each Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action of the Debtors, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, as enumerated on the Schedule of Retained Causes of Action, and such Reorganized Debtor’s rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date, other than the Causes of Action released by the Debtors pursuant to the DIP Orders or any other order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Avoidance Actions or Claims subject to the release and exculpation provisions contained in this Plan, including in Article VIII hereof, which shall be deemed released and waived by the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors as of the Effective Date. The Reorganized Debtors may pursue such retained Causes of Action, as appropriate, in accordance with the best interests of the Reorganized Debtors. No Entity (other than the Released Parties) may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure Statement to any Causes of Action against it as any indication that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against it. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, including Article VIII hereof. Unless any Causes of Action of the Debtors against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or a Final Order, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all Causes of Action, for later adjudication, and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise), or laches, shall apply to such Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or Consummation. The Reorganized Debtors reserve and shall retain such Causes of Action of the Debtors notwithstanding the rejection or repudiation of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease during the Chapter 11 Cases or pursuant to the Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 121 of 151


 
37 Plan. In accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Causes of Action that a Debtor may hold against any Entity shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, including Article VIII hereof. The applicable Reorganized Debtors, through their authorized agents or representatives, shall retain and may exclusively enforce any and all such Causes of Action. The Reorganized Debtors shall have the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to determine and to initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any such Causes of Action and to decline to do any of the foregoing without the consent or approval of any third party or further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. K. The Litigation Trust The Litigation Trust will be governed by the Litigation Trust Agreement, which will be Filed as part of the Plan Supplement. On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall transfer the Litigation Trust Assets to the Litigation Trust and take all steps necessary to establish the Litigation Trust in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the Litigation Trust Agreement. Under no circumstances shall the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors be required to contribute any additional assets to the Litigation Trust other than the Litigation Trust Assets. The Litigation Trustee shall not assign any of the Non-Released LT Claims. The Non-Released LT Claims may be pursued, and if applicable, satisfied (including by way of settlement, judgment, or otherwise) by the Litigation Trust solely and exclusively to the extent of available insurance coverage under the Insurance Policies to satisfy such claims after payment from such Insurance Policies of any and all covered costs and expenses incurred by any of the Non-Released LT Parties subject to such litigation in connection with the defense of the Non-Released LT Claims. Any party, including any trustee (including the Litigation Trustee) or any future holder of the Non-Released LT Claims, seeking to execute, garnish, or otherwise attempt to collect on any settlement of or judgment in the Non- Released LT Claims from any Non-Released LT Party shall do so solely and exclusively upon available insurance coverage from the Insurance Policies and no party shall (a) record any judgment or other claim against any Non- Released LT Party, or (b) otherwise attempt to collect from the personal assets of any Non-Released LT Parties. In the event that an Insurer under an Insurance Policy denies coverage under the policy or otherwise fails or refuses to reimburse defense costs with respect to the Non-Released LT Claims that the Litigation Trust is pursuing, than such Non-Released LT Claims shall be released unless the Litigation Trustee in good faith requests that the Non-Released LT Party dispute such denial of coverage or failure or refusal to reimburse defense costs, and advances all attorneys’ fees and costs therefor. Upon the Effective Date, the obligations of the Debtors to provide any indemnification and reimbursement to the Non-Released LT Parties shall be rejected to the extent necessary to facilitate the foregoing. Following the Effective Date, the Available Net Litigation Recoveries resulting from any adjudication of Non-Released LT Claims shall be distributed ratably to Holders of Litigation Trust Interests pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan and the Litigation Trust Agreement; provided that Available Net Litigation Recoveries will be distributed in the following order: first, to the Holders of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims who participate in the Rights Offering until such beneficiaries have received an aggregate amount equal to $600,000 plus a preferred return on such amount, accruing at a rate equal to 15% compounded annually; second, to Holders of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims (including the Holders of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims who participate in the Rights Offering) and Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims on a Pro Rata basis and, in each instance, without reduction for conversion into New Common Equity or New Convertible Preferred Equity (in the case of Class 5 Unsecured Noteholder Claims) or distributions of the GUC Cash Settlement or New Common Equity (in the case of Class 6 General Unsecured Claims). The Litigation Trust shall be established for the purpose of liquidating and distributing the Litigation Trust Assets to the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries in accordance with this Plan. Subject to definitive guidance from the IRS or a court of competent jurisdiction to the contrary, the Litigation Trust is intended to be treated as a “liquidating trust” for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-4(d), with no objective to continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business, except to the extent reasonably necessary to, and consistent with, the purpose of the Litigation Trust, and the Litigation Trustee will take this position on the Litigation Trust’s tax return accordingly. All the parties and Litigation Trust Beneficiaries shall treat the transfer of Litigation Trust Assets to the Litigation Trust as if the Litigation Trust Assets (other than such assets attributable to Disputed Claims) had been first transferred to the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries and then transferred by the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries to the Litigation Trust. As a result, the transfer of the Litigation Trust Assets to the Litigation Trust should be a taxable Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 122 of 151


 
38 transaction, and the Debtors should recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the tax basis and fair value of such assets. The Litigation Trust Beneficiaries shall be treated for all purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as the grantors and deemed owners of the Litigation Trust. The Litigation Trustee shall file returns for the Litigation Trust as a grantor trust pursuant to Treasury Regulations section 1.671-4(a). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, the Litigation Trustee shall make a good faith valuation of the Litigation Trust Assets. This valuation will be made available from time to time, as relevant for tax reporting purposes. Each of the Debtors, the Litigation Trustee and the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries shall take consistent positions with respect to the valuation of the Litigation Trust Assets, and such valuation shall be utilized consistently for all federal income tax purposes. With respect to amounts, if any, in a reserve for Disputed Claims, it is expected that such account will be treated as a “disputed ownership fund” governed by Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-9, that any appropriate elections with respect thereto shall be made, and that such treatment will also be applied to the extent possible for state and local tax purposes. A separate federal income tax return shall be filed with the IRS for any such disputed claims reserve, and such reserve will be subject to tax annually on a separate entity basis. Any taxes (including with respect to interest, if any, earned in the account, or any recovery on the portion of assets allocable to such account in excess of the disputed claims reserve’s basis in such assets) imposed on such account shall be paid out of the assets of the respective account (and reductions shall be made to amounts disbursed from the account to account for the need to pay such taxes). Litigation Trust Beneficiaries will be bound by such election, if made by the Litigation Trustee, and, as such, will, for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and, to the extent permitted by law, for state and local income tax purposes), report consistently therewith. The Litigation Trust’s taxable income (other than taxable income allocable to any assets attributable to a “disputed ownership fund”) shall be allocated by reference to the manner in which an amount of Cash representing such taxable income would be distributed (were such Cash permitted to be distributed at such time) if, immediately prior to such deemed distribution, the Litigation Trust had distributed all of its assets (valued at their book value), other than assets allocable to Disputed Claims, to the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries, adjusted for prior taxable income and loss and taking into account all prior distributions from the Litigation Trust. Similarly, taxable loss of the Litigation Trust shall be allocated by reference to the manner in which economic loss would be borne immediately after a hypothetical liquidating distribution of the remaining Litigation Trust Assets. The transfer of the Litigation Trust Assets to the Litigation Trust shall be exempt from any stamp, real estate transfer, mortgage reporting, sales, use, or other similar tax. Upon delivery of the Litigation Trust Assets to the Litigation Trust, the Reorganized Debtors shall be released from all liability with respect to the delivery of such distributions. The Litigation Trust Agreement shall provide for the appointment of the Litigation Trustee. The Litigation Trustee shall be jointly selected by the Committee and the Ad Hoc Committee of Noteholders. The Debtors will disclose the identity of the initial Litigation Trustee in the Plan Supplement. The retention of the Litigation Trustee shall be approved in the Confirmation Order. The Litigation Trustee shall have the power to administer the assets of the Litigation Trust in accordance with the Litigation Trust Agreement. The Litigation Trustee shall be the Estate representative designated to prosecute any and all Non-Released LT Claims pursuant to section 1123(b)(3)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Litigation Trustee shall (a) hold, administer and prosecute the assets of the Litigation Trust and any proceeds thereof, (b) have the power and authority to retain, as an expense of the Litigation Trust, attorneys, advisors, other professionals and employees as may be appropriate to perform the duties required of the Litigation Trustee under the Litigation Trust Agreement, (c) make distributions as provided in the Litigation Trust Agreement, and (d) provide periodic reports and updates regarding the status of the administration of the Litigation Trust. The Litigation Trustee shall be deemed the Distribution Agent under the Plan when making distributions to holders of Litigation Trust Interests. The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall provide the Litigation Trust with reasonable access to the books and records of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors concerning the Non-Released LT Claims, subject to applicable privileges to be set forth in greater detail in the Litigation Trust Agreement. Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 123 of 151


 
39 The transfer of the Litigation Trust Funding and the Non-Released LT Claims to the Litigation Trust shall be made, as provided herein, for the benefit of the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries. Upon the transfer of the Litigation Trust Funding and the Non-Released LT Claims, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, shall have no interest in or with respect to the Litigation Trust Funding, the Non-Released LT Claims, or the Litigation Trust. To the extent that any Litigation Trust Assets cannot be transferred to the Litigation Trust because of a restriction on transferability under applicable non-bankruptcy law that is not superseded or preempted by section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, such Litigation Trust Assets shall be deemed to have been retained by the Reorganized Debtors and the Litigation Trustee shall be deemed to have been designated as a representative of the Reorganized Debtors pursuant to section 1123(b)(3)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code to enforce and pursue such Litigation Trust Assets on behalf of the Reorganized Debtors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all net proceeds of such Litigation Trust Assets shall be transferred to the Litigation Trust to be distributed to the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries consistent with the terms of the Plan and the Litigation Trust Agreement. The Litigation Trust Interests shall not be registered pursuant to the Securities Act or any state securities law. It is intended that the Litigation Trust Interests shall not constitute “securities” under applicable laws. To the extent the Litigation Trust Interests are deemed to be “securities” under applicable laws, the issuance of the Litigation Trust Interests to Holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims and Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims shall be exempt, pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state and local laws requiring registration of securities. The Litigation Trust Interests shall be non-transferable. The Litigation Trust shall in no event be dissolved later than five (5) years from the creation of such Litigation Trust unless the Bankruptcy Court, upon motion within the 6-month period prior to the fifth anniversary (or within the 6-month period prior to the end of an extension period), determines that a fixed period extension (not to exceed five (5) years without a private letter ruling from the IRS or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the trustee(s) for the Litigation Trust that any further extension would not adversely affect the status of the trust as a liquidating trust for United States federal income tax purposes) is necessary to facilitate or complete the recovery and liquidation of the Litigation Trust Assets. L. Effectuating Documents; Further Transactions Prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors are, and on and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors, and their respective officers, directors, members, and managers (as applicable), are authorized to and may issue, execute, deliver, file, or record to the extent not inconsistent with any provision of this Plan such contracts, Securities, instruments, releases, and other agreements or documents and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement, and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Securities issued pursuant to the Plan in the name of and on behalf of the Reorganized Debtors, without the need for any approvals, authorizations, actions, notices or consents except for those expressly required pursuant to the Plan. M. Tax Matters. The terms of the Plan and the Restructuring Transactions shall be structured to minimize, to the extent practicable and subject to the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement, the aggregate tax impact of the Restructuring Transactions on the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, taking into account both the cash tax impact of the Restructuring Transactions on the Debtors in the tax year of the Restructuring Transactions and the tax liability of the Reorganized Debtors in subsequent tax years. The Debtors and the Consenting Stakeholders shall cooperate in good faith to structure the Restructuring Transactions in a tax efficient manner reasonably acceptable to each such party, subject to the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement.

40 N. Cancellation of Existing Securities and Agreements. On the Effective Date, except for the purpose of evidencing a right to a distribution under the Plan and except as otherwise provided in this Plan, the Confirmation Order or the Exit Facilities Documents, all notes, instruments, certificates, credit agreements, indentures, Securities and other documents evidencing or governing Claims or Interests (other than those Claims or Interests Reinstated pursuant to the Plan) shall be cancelled and the rights of the Holders thereof and obligations of the Debtors thereunder or in any way related thereto shall be deemed satisfied in full, cancelled, discharged, and of no force or effect, without further action or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any Holder and the Unsecured Notes Trustee and its agents, successors and assigns shall each be automatically and fully relieved of any duties and responsibilities under or related to the Unsecured Note Documents except with respect to such rights that, pursuant to the Unsecured Note Documents, survive termination of the Unsecured Note Documents. Holders of or parties to such cancelled instruments, Securities, and other documentation will have no rights arising from or relating to such instruments, Securities, and other documentation, or the cancellation thereof, except the rights, distributions, and treatment provided for pursuant to this Plan, the Confirmation Order or the Exit Facilities Documents. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to cancel, terminate, release or discharge the obligations of the Debtors or any of their counterparts under any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to the extent such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease has been assumed by the Debtors pursuant to a Final Order or hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Article IV.N, the Secured Notes Indentures shall remain in effect solely to (a) enforce the rights, Claims and interests of the Secured Notes Trustee and any predecessor thereof vis-a-vis parties other than the Released Parties, (b) allow the receipt of and distributions under the Plan and the subsequent distribution of such amounts in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Secured Notes Indenture, (c) preserve any rights of the Secured Notes Trustee and any predecessor thereof as against any money or property distributable to Holders of the Secured Notes Claims, including the Secured Notes Trustee’s charging lien and priority rights, and (d) if applicable, preserve the rights and obligations of the parties under the Exit Secured Convertible Notes Documents. Regardless of whether distributions to Holders of Secured Notes Claims are made by the Secured Notes Trustee, or by a Distribution Agent other than the Secured Notes Trustee, the Secured Notes Trustee charging lien shall attach to such distributions in the same manner as if such distributions were made through the Secured Notes Trustee. Subject to the distribution of Class 4 Plan consideration delivered to it in accordance with the Secured Notes Indenture at the expense of the Reorganized Debtors, the Secured Notes Trustee shall have no duties to Holders of Secured Notes Claims following the Effective Date of the Plan, including no duty to object to claims or treatment of other creditors. Notwithstanding anything in this Article IV.N, the Unsecured Notes Indentures shall remain in effect solely to (a) enforce the rights, Claims and interests of the Unsecured Notes Trustee and any predecessor thereof vis-a-vis parties other than the Released Parties, (b) allow the receipt of and distributions under the Plan and the subsequent distribution of such amounts in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Unsecured Notes Indentures, and (c) preserve any rights of the Unsecured Notes Trustee and any predecessor thereof as against any money or property distributable to Holders of the Unsecured Notes Claims, including the Unsecured Notes Trustee Charging Lien and priority rights. All distributions made under the Plan on account of the Allowed Claims of Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims shall be made to or at the direction of the Unsecured Notes Trustee for further distribution to the Holders of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims under the terms of the Unsecured Notes Indentures, including those provisions relating to the surrender and cancellation of the Unsecured Notes. Regardless of whether distributions to Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims are made by the Unsecured Notes Trustee, or by a Distribution Agent other than the Unsecured Notes Trustee, the Unsecured Notes Trustee Charging Lien shall attach to such distributions in the same manner as if such distributions were made through the Unsecured Notes Trustee. Subject to the distribution of Class 5 Plan consideration delivered to it in accordance with the Unsecured Notes Indenture at the expense of the Reorganized Debtors, the Unsecured Notes Trustee shall have no duties to Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims following the Effective Date of the Plan, including no duty to object to claims or treatment of other creditors. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent any documents evidencing or governing Claims or Interests constitute Exit Facilities Documents, such documents shall survive the Effective Date and shall not be terminated in accordance herewith. Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 125 of 151


 
41 O. Corporate Action. On the Effective Date, all actions contemplated under the Plan or the Plan Supplement shall be deemed authorized and approved in all respects, including implementation of the Restructuring Transactions and all other acts or actions contemplated or reasonably necessary or appropriate to promptly consummate the Restructuring Transactions contemplated by the Plan or the Plan Supplement (whether to occur before, on, or after the Effective Date). All matters provided for in the Plan involving the corporate or organizational structure of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, and any corporate, partnership, limited liability company, or other governance action required by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have timely occurred and shall be in effect and shall be authorized and approved in all respects, without any requirement of further action by the equityholders, members, directors, or officers of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable. On or prior to the Effective Date, as applicable, the appropriate officers of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall be authorized and, as applicable, directed, to issue, execute, and deliver the agreements, documents, and instruments contemplated under the Plan or the Plan Supplement (or necessary or desirable to effect the transactions contemplated under the Plan or the Plan Supplement) in the name of and on behalf of the Reorganized Debtors. The authorizations and approvals contemplated by this Article IV.O shall be effective notwithstanding any requirements under nonbankruptcy Law. P. Indemnification Obligations. Consistent with applicable law, all indemnification provisions in place as of the Effective Date (whether in the by-laws, certificates of incorporation or formation, limited liability company agreements, other organizational documents, board resolutions, indemnification agreements, employment contracts, or otherwise) for current and former members of any Governing Body, directors, officers, managers, employees, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, and other Professionals of the Debtors, as applicable, shall (1) not be discharged, impaired, or otherwise affected in any way, including by the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Confirmation Order, (2) remain intact, in full force and effect, and irrevocable, (3) not be limited, reduced or terminated after the Effective Date, and (4) survive the effectiveness of the Plan on terms no less favorable to such current and former directors, officers, managers, employees, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, and other Professionals of the Debtors than the indemnification provisions in place prior to the Effective Date irrespective of whether such indemnification obligation is owed for an act or event occurring before, on or after the Petition Date; provided that indemnification obligations of Non-Released LT Parties with respect to the Non-Released LT Claims shall be rejected. All such obligations shall be deemed and treated as Executory Contracts to be assumed by the Debtors under the Plan and shall continue as obligations of the Reorganized Debtors. Any Claim based on the Debtors’ indemnification obligations under the Plan shall not be a Disputed Claim or subject to any objection, in either case, for any reason, including by reason of section 502(e)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code.

S. Restructuring Support Agreement. The Restructuring Support Agreement shall be assumed pursuant to the Confirmation Order and the Debtors shall continue to perform thereunder and comply therewith in all respects during the period through and including the Effective Date, and the provisions thereof that survive termination shall also survive notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date. All of the actions contemplated under this Plan, including the Restructuring Transactions and any other transactions or actions necessary to effectuate the terms of this Plan shall be consistent in all respects with the Restructuring Support Agreement, including the consent rights set forth therein and the other rights and obligations thereunder. T. Restructuring Expenses. Without any further notice to, or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall pay the Restructuring Expenses on or about the Effective Date, as provided in the Plan and the Restructuring Support Agreement. The Restructuring Expenses incurred, or estimated to be incurred, up to and including the Effective Date, shall be paid in full in Cash on the Effective Date (to the extent not previously paid during the course of the Chapter 11 Cases) without any requirement to File a fee application with the Bankruptcy Court, without the need for itemized time detail, or without any requirement for Bankruptcy Court review or approval. All Restructuring Expenses to be paid on the Effective Date shall be estimated prior to and as of the Effective Date and such estimates shall be delivered to the Debtors at least five (5) Business Days before the anticipated Effective Date or such later date as permitted by the Debtors; provided that such estimates shall not be considered an admission or limitation with respect to such Restructuring Expenses. On or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, final invoices for all Restructuring Expenses incurred prior to and as of the Effective Date shall be submitted to the Reorganized Debtors. In addition, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors (as applicable) shall continue to pay pre- and post-Effective Date Restructuring Expenses related to the implementation, consummation and defense of the Plan and the Restructuring Transactions, whether incurred before, on, or after the Effective Date, including, but not limited to, any Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee Fees incurred in connection with distributions made pursuant to the Plan or the cancellation and discharge of the Unsecured Notes and/or the Unsecured Notes Documents. Nothing herein shall in any way affect or diminish the right of the Unsecured Notes Trustee to exercise its Unsecured Notes Trustee Charging Lien against distributions on account of the Unsecured Notes Claims with respect to any unpaid Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee Fees. ARTICLE V. TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES A. Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. On the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or in any contract, instrument, release, indenture, or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan, all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases of the Debtors shall be deemed assumed by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, without the need for any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, as of the Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 127 of 151


 
43 Effective Date under sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease: (1) previously was assumed or rejected by the Debtors; (2) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms; (3) is the subject of a motion to reject Filed on or before the Effective Date; or (4) is identified on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease Schedule. The assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases hereunder may include the assignment of certain of such contracts to Affiliates. Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the assumptions or assumption and assignment, as applicable, of such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases as provided for in the Plan, pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code effective as of the Effective Date. Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, assumptions or rejections of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to the Plan are effective as of the Effective Date. Each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan or by Bankruptcy Court order but not assigned to a third party before the Effective Date shall re vest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable contracting Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as such terms may have been modified by the provisions of the Plan or any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption under applicable federal law. Any motions to assume Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases pending on the Effective Date shall be subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court on or after the Effective Date by a Final Order. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have the right to alter, amend, modify, or supplement the Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Schedule identified in this Article V.A of the Plan and in the Plan Supplement at any time through and including forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date. To the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent that any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed or assumed and assigned pursuant to the Plan restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, the assumption or assumption and assignment of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (including any “change of control” provision), then such provision shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan shall not entitle the non-Debtor party thereto to terminate such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to exercise any other default-related rights with respect thereto. Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith. B. Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases. Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute a Bankruptcy Court order approving the rejections, if any, of any Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases as provided for in the Plan and the Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Schedule, as applicable. Unless otherwise provided by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, all Proofs of Claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, pursuant to the Plan or the Confirmation Order, if any, must be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court within thirty (30) days after the later of (1) the date of entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such rejection, (2) the effective date of such rejection, or (3) the Effective Date. Any Claims arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease not Filed with the Bankruptcy Court within such time will be automatically disallowed, forever barred from assertion, and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Estates, or their property, without the need for any objection by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, or further notice to, action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other Entity, and any Claim arising out of the rejection of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged, and be subject to the permanent injunction set forth in Article VIII.F of the Plan, notwithstanding anything in the Proof of Claim to the contrary. All Allowed Claims arising from the rejection by any Debtor of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be treated as a General Unsecured Claim pursuant to Article Error! Reference source not found. of the Plan and may be objected to in accordance with the provisions of Article Error! Reference source not found. of the Plan and the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules. Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 128 of 151


 
44 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Debtors, or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve the right to alter, amend, modify, or supplement the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease Schedule at any time through and including forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date. C. Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall pay Cure Claims, if any, on or about the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter in the ordinary course of business, or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases may otherwise agree. Any Cure Claim shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged upon payment by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors of the Cure Amount; provided, that nothing herein shall prevent the Reorganized Debtors from paying any Cure Amount despite the failure of the relevant counterparty to File such request for payment of such Cure Claim. The Reorganized Debtors also may settle any Cure Claim without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, any objection by a counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to a proposed assumption or related Cure Amount including pursuant to the Plan must be Filed, served, and actually received by the counsel to the Debtors and the U.S. Trustee on or before the Confirmation Objection Deadline or such other deadline that may be set by the Court. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption or Cure Amount will be deemed to have assented to such assumption or Cure Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is proposed to be assumed in the Plan and is not listed as having a related Cure Amount on the Assumed Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease Schedule, any counterparty to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption will be deemed to have consented to such assumption and deemed to release any Claim or Cause of Action for any monetary defaults under such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. The cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order or orders resolving the dispute and approving the assumption in the event of a dispute regarding: (1) the amount of any payments to cure such a default; (2) the ability of the Reorganized Debtors or any assignee to provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed; or (3) any other matter pertaining to assumption. The Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall be authorized to reject any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to the extent the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, in the exercise of its sound business judgment, concludes that the amount of the cure obligation as determined by Final Order or as otherwise finally resolved, renders assumption of such contract or lease unfavorable to the applicable Debtor’s Estate or the Reorganized Debtor. Such rejected contracts, if any, shall be deemed as listed on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease Schedule, if any. Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Claims or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time prior to the effective date of assumption. Any Proof of Claim Filed with respect to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that has been assumed shall be deemed disallowed and expunged, without further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease receives a notice of assumption and there is no listed Cure Amount, such Cure Amount shall be considered to be zero. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that does not receive a notice, and believes a Cure Amount is owed, shall have thirty (30) days after the Effective Date to File a Proof of Claim with respect to such alleged Cure Amount, which Claim shall not be expunged until such dispute is resolved. D. Insurance Policies. Each of the Debtors’ Insurance Policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto, are treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan. On the Effective Date, the Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 129 of 151


 
45 all Insurance Policies and any agreements, documents, and instruments relating to coverage of all insured Claims. Except as set forth in Article IV.R of the Plan, nothing in this Plan, the Plan Supplement, the Disclosure Statement, the Confirmation Order, or any other order of the Bankruptcy Court (including any other provision that purports to be preemptory or supervening), (1) alters, modifies, or otherwise amends the terms and conditions of (or the coverage provided by) any of such Insurance Policies or (2) alters or modifies the duty, if any, that the Insurers or third party administrators pay claims covered by such Insurance Policies and their right to seek payment or reimbursement from the Debtors (or after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors) or draw on any collateral or security therefor. For the avoidance of doubt, Insurers and third-party administrators shall not need to nor be required to File or serve a cure objection or a request, application, claim, Proof of Claim, or motion for payment and shall not be subject to any Claims Bar Date or similar deadline governing Cure Amounts or Claims. E. Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements, or Other Agreements. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated under the Plan. Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith. F. Reservation of Rights. Nothing contained in the Plan or the Plan Supplement shall constitute an admission by the Debtors or any other party that any contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption or rejection, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have forty-five (45) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease. G. Nonoccurrence of Effective Date. In the event that the Effective Date does not occur, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction with respect to any request to extend the deadline for assuming or rejecting Unexpired Leases pursuant to section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code. H. Contracts and Leases Entered Into After the Petition Date. Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor, including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by such Debtor, will be performed by the applicable Debtor or the Reorganized Debtors in the ordinary course of their business. Accordingly, such contracts and leases (including any assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases) will survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order. ARTICLE VI. PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS A. Distributions on Account of Claims Allowed as of the Effective Date. Except as otherwise provided herein, in a Final Order, or as otherwise agreed to by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, and the Holder of the applicable Allowed Claim on the first Distribution Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall make initial distributions under the Plan on account of Claims Allowed as of the Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 130 of 151


 
46 Effective Date, as provided in the Restructuring Transactions Memorandum, subject to the Reorganized Debtors’ right to object to Claims; provided that (1) Allowed Administrative Claims with respect to liabilities incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of business during the Chapter 11 Cases or assumed by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date shall be paid or performed in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms and conditions of any controlling agreements, course of dealing, course of business, or industry practice and (2) Allowed Priority Tax Claims shall be paid in accordance with Article II.D of the Plan. To the extent any Allowed Priority Tax Claim is not due and owing on the Effective Date, such Claim shall be paid in full in Cash in accordance with the terms of any agreement between the Debtors and the Holder of such Claim or as may be due and payable under applicable non- bankruptcy law or in the ordinary course of business. A Distribution Date shall occur no less frequently than once in every ninety-day period after the Effective Date, as necessary, in the Reorganized Debtors’ sole discretion. B. Distribution Agent. All distributions under the Plan shall be made by the Distribution Agent. The Distribution Agent shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. C. Rights and Powers of the Distribution Agent. 1. Powers of the Distribution Agent. The Distribution Agent shall be empowered to: (a) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments, and other documents necessary to perform its duties under the Plan; (b) make all distributions contemplated hereby, including, subject to the express written consent and direction of the Unsecured Notes Trustee and with the cooperation of the Unsecured Notes Trustee, distributions on account of the Unsecured Notes Claims, subject in all respects to the rights of the Unsecured Notes Trustee Charging Lien against all such distributions; (c) employ professionals to represent it with respect to its responsibilities; and (d) exercise such other powers as may be vested in the Distribution Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to the Plan, or as deemed by the Distribution Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions hereof. 2. Expenses Incurred On or After the Effective Date. Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the amount of any reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Distribution Agent on or after the Effective Date (including taxes), and any reasonable compensation and out-of-pocket expense reimbursement claims (including reasonable, actual, and documented attorney or agent fees and expenses), made by the Distribution Agent, in each case directly related to distributions under the Plan, including but not limited to making any distributions to Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims in accordance with the Plan, shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors in the ordinary course of business. In the event that the Reorganized Debtors object to all or any portion of the amounts requested to be reimbursed in a Distribution Agent’s invoice, the Reorganized Debtors and such Distribution Agent shall endeavor, in good faith, to reach mutual agreement on the amount of the appropriate payment of such disputed fees and/or expenses. In the event that the Reorganized Debtors and a Distribution Agent are unable to resolve any differences regarding disputed fees or expenses, either party shall be authorized to move to have such dispute heard by the Bankruptcy Court. D. Delivery of Distributions and Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions. 1. Record Date for Distribution. On the Distribution Record Date, the Claims Register shall be closed and any party responsible for making distributions shall instead be authorized and entitled to recognize only those record Holders listed on the Claims Register as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. If a Claim, other than one based on a publicly traded Security, is transferred twenty (20) or fewer days before the Distribution Record Date, the Distribution Agent shall make distributions to the transferee only to the extent practical and, in any event, only if the relevant transfer form contains an unconditional and explicit certification and waiver of any objection to the transfer by the transferor. For the avoidance of doubt, the Distribution Record Date shall not apply to the Unsecured Notes Claims, the Holders Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 131 of 151


 
47 of which shall receive a distribution in accordance with the terms of this Article VI and, as applicable, the customary procedures of DTC on or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date. 2. Delivery of Distributions in General. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Distribution Agent shall make distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests (as applicable) as of the Distribution Record Date at the address for each such Holder as indicated on the Debtors’ records as of the date of any such distribution; provided that the manner of such distributions shall be determined at the discretion of the Reorganized Debtors. All distributions to Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims shall be deemed completed when made to (or at the direction of) the Unsecured Notes Trustee, which shall be deemed the Holders of all Unsecured Notes Claims for purposes of distributions to be made hereunder, the Unsecured Notes Trustee shall hold or direct such distributions for the benefit of the Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims. The Unsecured Notes Trustee may transfer or direct the transfer of such distributions directly through the facilities of DTC (whether by means of book-entry exchange, free delivery, or otherwise) and will be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes under the Plan with Holders of the Unsecured Notes Claims, to the extent consistent with the customary practices of DTC. The Unsecured Notes Trustee shall not incur any liability whatsoever on account of any distributions under the Plan except for gross negligence or willful misconduct. If the Unsecured Notes Trustee is unable to make, or consents to the Reorganized Debtors making, such distributions, the Reorganized Debtors, with the Unsecured Notes Trustee’s cooperation, shall make such distributions. The Unsecured Notes Trustee shall have no duties, obligations or responsibilities with respect to any form of distribution to Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims that is not DTC eligible and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall make such distributions. For the avoidance of doubt, all such distributions referenced in this paragraph shall be subject to the Unsecured Notes Trustee Charging Lien. 3. Minimum Distributions. No fractional shares of New Common Equity or New Convertible Preferred Equity shall be distributed and no Cash shall be distributed in lieu of such fractional amounts. When any distribution pursuant to the Plan on account of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest (as applicable) would otherwise result in the issuance of a number of shares of New Common Equity that is not a whole number, the actual distribution of shares of New Common Equity shall be calculated to one decimal place and rounded up or down to the closest whole number of shares of New Common Equity (with a half-share of New Common Equity or greater rounded up and less than a half-share of New Common Equity rounded down). The total number of authorized shares of New Common Equity to be distributed to Holders of Allowed Claims hereunder shall be adjusted as necessary to account for the foregoing rounding. Neither the Reorganized Debtors nor the Distribution Agent shall have any obligation to make a distribution that consists of less than one share of New Common Equity or is less than fifty dollars ($50) to any Holder of an Allowed Claim. 4. Undeliverable Distributions and Unclaimed Property. In the event that any distribution under the Plan is returned as undeliverable, no further distribution to such Holder shall be made unless and until the Distribution Agent is notified in writing of the then-current address of such Holder, at which time all currently-due, missed distributions shall be made to such Holder as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter without interest; provided that such distributions shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code at the expiration of one (1) year from the Effective Date. After such date, all unclaimed property or interests in property shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors automatically and without need for a further order by the Bankruptcy Court (notwithstanding any applicable federal, provincial, or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws to the contrary), and the Claim of any Holder of Claims to such property or interest in property shall be discharged and forever barred. 5. Surrender of Canceled Instruments or Securities. On the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, each Holder of a certificate or instrument evidencing a Claim or an Interest that has been cancelled in accordance with Article IV.M hereof shall be deemed to have surrendered such certificate or instrument to the Distribution Agent. Such surrendered certificate or Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 132 of 151


 
48 instrument shall be cancelled solely with respect to the Debtors, and such cancellation shall not alter the obligations or rights of any non-Debtor third parties vis-à-vis one another with respect to such certificate or instrument, including with respect to any indenture or agreement that governs the rights of the Holder of a Claim or Interest, which shall continue in effect for purposes of allowing Holders to receive distributions under the Plan, charging liens, priority of payment, and indemnification rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this paragraph shall not apply to certificates or instruments evidencing Claims that are Reinstated under this Plan. E. Manner of Payment. 1. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all distributions of New Common Equity to Holders of the applicable Allowed Claims under the Plan shall be made by the Distribution Agent on behalf of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable. 2. All distributions of Cash to the Holders of the applicable Allowed Claims under the Plan shall be made by the Distribution Agent on behalf of the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, except with respect to distributions by the Litigation Trustee as set forth in the Plan and the Litigation Trust Agreement. 3. At the option of the Distribution Agent, any Cash payment to be made hereunder may be made by check or wire transfer or as otherwise required or provided in applicable agreements or customary practices of the Debtors. F. Compliance with Tax Requirements. In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, Distribution Agent, and any applicable withholding agent shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions made pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. Any amounts withheld pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been distributed to and received by the applicable recipient for all purposes of the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, such parties shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes, withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such distributions, or establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable and appropriate. The Debtors and Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and similar spousal awards, Liens, and encumbrances. Any person entitled to receive any property as an issuance or distribution under the Plan shall, upon request, deliver to the applicable Distribution Agent an appropriate Form W-9 or (if the payee is a foreign Person) Form W-8. G. Allocations. Unless otherwise specifically provided for herein or by order of the Bankruptcy Court, including the DIP Order, distributions in respect of Allowed Claims shall be allocated first to the principal amount of such Claims (as determined for federal income tax purposes) and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claims, to any portion of such Claims for accrued but unpaid interest. H. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate. Except as otherwise provided in a Final Order, as of the Effective Date, any Claim asserted in currency other than U.S. dollars shall be automatically deemed converted to the equivalent U.S. dollar value using the exchange rate for the applicable currency as published in The Wall Street Journal, National Edition, on the Effective Date. I. Setoffs and Recoupment. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, each Debtor and each Reorganized Debtor, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (including section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code), applicable non-bankruptcy law, or Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 133 of 151


 
49 as may be agreed to by the Holder of a Claim, may set off against or recoup any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of such Allowed Claim (before any distribution is made on account of such Allowed Claim), any claims, rights, and Causes of Action of any nature that such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, may hold against the Holder of such Allowed Claim, to the extent such claims, rights, or Causes of Action against such Holder have not been otherwise compromised or settled as of the Effective Date (whether pursuant to the Plan or otherwise); provided, however, that neither the failure to effect such a setoff or recoupment nor the allowance of any Claim pursuant to the Plan shall constitute a waiver or release by such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor of any such claims, rights, and Causes of Action that such Reorganized Debtor may possess against such Holder. In no event shall any Holder of Claims be entitled to set off or recoup any such Claim against any claim, right, or Cause of Action of the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor (as applicable), unless such Holder has Filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court requesting the authority to perform such setoff or recoupment on or before the Confirmation Date, and notwithstanding any indication in any Proof of Claim or otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of setoff or recoupment pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. J. Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties. 1. Claims Paid by Third Parties. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall reduce in full a Claim, and such Claim shall be disallowed without a Claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, to the extent that the Holder of such Claim receives payment in full on account of such Claim from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor. To the extent a Holder of a Claim receives a distribution on account of such Claim and thereafter receives payment from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor on account of such Claim, such Holder shall, within fourteen (14) days of receipt thereof, repay or return the distribution to the applicable Reorganized Debtor, to the extent the Holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount of such Claim as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan. The failure of such Holder to timely repay or return such distribution shall result in the Holder owing the applicable Reorganized Debtor annualized interest at the Federal Judgment Rate on such amount owed for each Business Day after the fourteen-day grace period specified above until the amount is repaid. 2. Claims Payable by Third Parties. No distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of a Claim that is payable pursuant to one of the Debtors’ Insurance Policies until the Holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to such Insurance Policy. To the extent that one or more of the Debtors’ Insurers agrees to satisfy in full or in part a Claim (if and to the extent adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise settled), then immediately upon such satisfaction, the applicable portion of such Claim may be expunged without a Claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. 3. Applicability of Insurance Policies. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, payments to Holders of Claims shall be in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Insurance Policy. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Causes of Action that the Debtors or any Entity may hold against any other Entity, including Insurers under any Insurance Policies, nor shall anything contained herein constitute or be deemed a waiver by any Insurers of any rights or defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such Insurers. ARTICLE VII. PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CONTINGENT, UNLIQUIDATED, AND DISPUTED CLAIMS A. Allowance of Claims. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable shall have the exclusive authority to determine, without the need for notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, that a claim subject to any Proof Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 134 of 151


 
50 of Claim that is Filed is Allowed. Upon such determination, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may update the Claims Register to reflect such Proofs of Claim as Allowed and, upon delivery of the applicable treatment for such Unimpaired Claims under 0 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Reinstatement), to mark such Proofs of Claims as satisfied. The Debtors may determine to Reinstate a Claim that would be an Unimpaired Claim under the Plan, even if no timely Proof of Claim is Filed therefor. Avoidance Actions released under this Plan shall not be used as a defense or setoff to any Claim pursuant to section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. B. Claims Administration Responsibilities. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have the exclusive authority to (1) File, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any objections to Claims or Interests, (2) settle or compromise any such objections to Claims without further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and (3) administer and adjust the Claims Register to reflect such settlements or compromises without further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Except as otherwise provided herein, from and after the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses such Debtor had immediately prior to the Effective Date with respect to any Claim or Interest (including any Disputed Claim or Interest), including the Causes of Action retained pursuant to Article IV.M of the Plan. C. Disputed Claims Process. If the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors dispute any Proof of Claim that is Filed on account of an Unimpaired Claim, such dispute shall be determined, resolved, or adjudicated, as the case may be, in the manner as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced and shall survive the Effective Date as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced; provided that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, or the Holder of such Claim may elect to have the validity or amount of any Claim adjudicated by the Bankruptcy Court instead. If a Holder makes such an election, the Bankruptcy Court shall apply the law that would have governed the dispute if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been Filed. If the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, dispute any Impaired Claim that is not Allowed as of the Effective Date pursuant to 0 or a Final Order entered by the Bankruptcy Court (which may include the Confirmation Order), the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall File an objection with the Bankruptcy Court on or before sixty (60) days after the Effective Date (subject to the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, rights to seek an extension of such deadline before the Bankruptcy Court for cause, which extension may be opposed by any party in interest, including the Litigation Trustee), and such dispute shall be determined, resolved, or adjudicated before, the Bankruptcy Court. D. Estimation of Claims and Interests Before, on, or after the Effective Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable may at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Disputed Claim or Interest that is contingent or unliquidated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason, regardless of whether any party in interest previously has objected to such Claim or Interest or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any such Claim or Interest, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or Interest or during the appeal relating to such objection. Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan, a Claim that has been expunged from the Claims Register, but that either is subject to appeal or has not been the subject of a Final Order, shall be deemed to be estimated at zero dollars, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim or Interest, that estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim or Interest for all purposes under the Plan (including for purposes of distributions), and the relevant Reorganized Debtor may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to the allowance of, or any ultimate distribution on, such Claim or Interest. Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 135 of 151


 
51 E. Adjustment to Claims or Interests without Objection. Any duplicate Claim or Interest or any Claim or Interest that has been paid, satisfied, amended, or superseded may be adjusted or expunged on the Claims Register by the Reorganized Debtors without the Reorganized Debtors having to File an application, motion, complaint, objection, or any other legal proceeding seeking to object to such Claim or Interest and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. F. Disallowance of Claims or Interests. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, and subject to the terms hereof, including Article VIII, and the DIP Orders, all Claims and Interests of any Entity from which property is sought by the Debtors under sections 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors allege is a transferee of a transfer that is avoidable under sections 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed disallowed if: (a) the Entity, on the one hand, and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, on the other hand, agree or the Bankruptcy Court has determined by Final Order that such Entity or transferee is liable to turn over any property or monies under any of the aforementioned sections of the Bankruptcy Code; and (b) such Entity or transferee has failed to turn over such property by the date set forth in such agreement or Final Order. Except as otherwise provided herein or as agreed to by the Reorganized Debtors, any and all Proofs of Claim Filed after the Claims Bar Date shall be deemed disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and Holders of such Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such Claims, unless such late Proof of Claim has been deemed timely Filed by a Final Order. G. No Distributions Pending Allowance. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if any portion of a Claim or Interest is a Disputed Claim or Interest, as applicable, no payment or distribution provided hereunder shall be made on account of such Claim or Interest unless and until such Disputed Claim or Interest becomes an Allowed Claim or Interest; provided that if only the Allowed amount of an otherwise valid Claim or Interest is Disputed, such Claim or Interest shall be deemed Allowed in the amount not Disputed and payment or distribution shall be made on account of such undisputed amount. H. Distributions After Allowance. To the extent that a Disputed Claim or Interest ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim or Interest, distributions (if any) shall be made to the Holder of such Allowed Claim or Interest in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court Allowing any Disputed Claim or Interest becomes a Final Order, the Distribution Agent shall provide to the Holder of such Claim or Interest the distributions (if any) to which such Holder is entitled under the Plan as of the Effective Date, without any interest to be paid on account of such Claim or Interest. Reorganized Invacare will make Cash distributions on account of Allowed Claims (to the extent applicable) no later than the last Business Day of each calendar quarter following the Effective Date (each, a “Payment Date”) subject to the following: (a) the Claim must be Allowed no later than fourteen (14) days prior to the next Payment Date (each, a “Cutoff Date”) and (b) the Holder of such Claim must provide the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, with any requested information to process a payment on account of an Allowed Claim within seven (7) days after the Cutoff Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first Payment Date will occur no earlier than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. I. No Postpetition Interest on Claims. Unless otherwise specifically provided for herein or by order of the Bankruptcy Court, including the DIP Orders, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on Claims, and no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim or right. Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing, Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 136 of 151


 
52 interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Disputed Claim with respect to the period from the Effective Date to the date a final distribution is made on account of such Disputed Claim, if and when such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, DIP Claims shall accrue and be paid interest in accordance with the terms set forth in the DIP Credit Agreements. J. Accrual of Dividends and Other Rights. For purposes of determining the accrual of distributions or other rights after the Effective Date, the New Common Equity shall be deemed distributed as of the Effective Date regardless of the date on which they are actually distributed; provided, however, that the Reorganized Debtors shall not make payments or distribute such other rights on account of such New Common Equity, if any, until after distribution of the applicable New Common Equity actually takes place. ARTICLE VIII. SETTLEMENT, RELEASE, INJUNCTION, AND RELATED PROVISIONS A. Discharge of Claims and Termination of Interests. Pursuant to, and to the maximum extent provided by, section 1141(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, or in any contract, instrument, or other agreement or document created pursuant to the Plan, the distributions, rights, and treatment that are provided in the Plan shall be in complete satisfaction, discharge, and release, effective as of the Effective Date, of Claims, Interests, and Causes of Action of any nature whatsoever, including any interest accrued on Claims or Interests from and after the Petition Date, whether known or unknown, against, liabilities of, Liens on, obligations of, rights against, and Interests in the Debtors or any of their assets or properties, regardless of whether any property shall have been distributed or retained pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claims and Interests, including demands, liabilities, and Causes of Action that arose before the Effective Date, any liability (including withdrawal liability) to the extent such Claims or Interests relate to services that employees of the Debtors have performed prior to the Effective Date, and that arise from a termination of employment, any contingent or non-contingent liability on account of representations or warranties issued on or before the Effective Date, and all debts of the kind specified in sections 502(g), 502(h), or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, in each case whether or not (1) a Proof of Claim or Proof of Interest based upon such debt, right, or Interest is Filed or deemed Filed pursuant to section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code, (2) a Claim or Interest based upon such debt, right, or Interest is Allowed pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (3) the Holder of such a Claim or Interest has accepted the Plan. The Confirmation Order, if applicable, shall be a judicial determination of the discharge of all Claims (other than the Reinstated Claims) and Interests (other than the Intercompany Interests that are Reinstated) subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date. B. Release of Liens. Except as otherwise provided in the Exit Facilities Documents, the Plan (including, without limitation, the payment of the DIP Claims in accordance with Article II.C herein), the Confirmation Order, or in any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document amended or created pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date and concurrently with the applicable distributions made pursuant to the Plan and, in the case of a Secured Claim, satisfaction in full of the portion of the Secured Claim that is Allowed as of the Effective Date, except for Other Secured Claims that the Debtors elect to Reinstate in accordance with this Plan, all mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests against any property of the Estates shall be fully released and discharged, and all of the right, title, and interest of any holder of such mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors and their successors and assigns. Any Holder of such Secured Claim (and the applicable agents for such Holder) shall be authorized and directed, at the sole cost and expense of the Reorganized Debtors, to release any collateral or other property of any Debtor (including any Cash Collateral and possessory collateral) held by such Holder (and the applicable agents for such Holder), and to take such actions as may be reasonably requested by the Reorganized Debtors to evidence the release of such Liens and/or security interests, including the execution, delivery, and filing or recording of such releases. The presentation or filing of the Confirmation Order to or with any federal, state, provincial, or local agency, records office, or department shall constitute good and sufficient evidence of, but shall not be required to effect, the termination of such Liens. Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 137 of 151


 
53 To the extent that any Holder of a Secured Claim that has been satisfied or discharged in full pursuant to the Plan, or any agent for such Holder, has filed or recorded publicly any Liens and/or security interests to secure such Holder’s Secured Claim, then as soon as practicable on or after the Effective Date, such Holder (or the agent for such Holder) shall take any and all steps requested by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors that are necessary or desirable to record or effectuate the cancellation and/or extinguishment of such Liens and/or security interests, including the making of any applicable filings or recordings, and the Reorganized Debtors shall be entitled to make any such filings or recordings on such Holder’s behalf. C. Releases by the Debtors. Except as expressly set forth in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, effective on the Effective Date, pursuant to section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, in exchange for good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, on and after the Effective Date, to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, each Released Party is hereby deemed conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever released and discharged by each and all of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and their Estates, in each case on behalf of themselves and their respective successors, assigns, and representatives, and any and all other entities who may purport to assert any Causes of Action, directly or derivatively, by, through, for, or because of the foregoing entities, from any and all Causes of Action, rights, suits, damages, remedies and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, existing or hereinafter arising, in law (or any applicable rule, statute, regulation, treaty, right, duty or requirement), equity, contract, tort or otherwise, including any derivative claims, asserted or assertable on behalf of any of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, their Estates, or their Affiliates that such Entity would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether individually or collectively) or on behalf of the Holder of any Claim against, or Interest in, a Debtor or any other Entity, or that any Holder of any Claim against, or Interest in, a Debtor or other Entity could have asserted on behalf of the Debtors, based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or their Estates (including the management, ownership, or operation thereof), the purchase, sale, amendment, or rescission of any security of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Interest that is treated in the Plan, the business or contractual arrangements between any Debtor and any Released Party, the Debtors’ in- or out-of-court restructuring efforts, intercompany transactions, the Term Loan Facility, the ABL Facility, the DIP Facilities and DIP Documents, the Secured Notes, the Unsecured Notes, the Rights Offering Documents, the Chapter 11 Cases, the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Definitive Documents, the Disclosure Statement, the New Organizational Documents, the Exit Facilities Documents, the Plan, or any Restructuring Transaction, contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created or entered into in connection with the Restructuring Support Agreement, the formulation, preparation, dissemination, negotiation, entry into, or Filing of, as applicable, the Restructuring Support Agreement, any Avoidance Actions, the Definitive Documents, the Disclosure Statement, the New Organizational Documents, the Rights Offering Documents, or the Plan, the Filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the pursuit of Confirmation, the pursuit of Consummation, the administration and implementation of the Plan, including the issuance or distribution of Securities pursuant to the Plan, or the distribution of property under the Plan or any other related agreement, or upon any other act, or omission, transaction, agreement, event, or other occurrence related or relating to any of the foregoing taking place on or before the Effective Date.

Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, of the Debtor Release, which includes by reference each of the related provisions and definitions contained in this Plan, and further, shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s finding that the Debtor Release is: (1) in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Released Parties, including the Released Parties’ contributions to facilitating the Restructuring Transactions and implementing the Plan; (2) a good faith settlement and compromise of the Claims released by the Debtor Release; (3) in the best interests of the Debtors and all Holders of Claims and Interests; (4) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (5) given and made Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 138 of 151


 
54 after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (6) a bar to any of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Debtors’ Estates asserting any Claim or Cause of Action of any kind whatsoever released pursuant to the Debtor Release. D. Releases by the Releasing Parties.

The Exculpated Parties have, and upon completion of the Plan shall be deemed to have, participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable laws with regard to the solicitation of votes and distribution of consideration pursuant to the Plan and, therefore, are not, and on account of such distributions shall not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or such distributions made pursuant to the Plan. F. Injunction. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or for obligations issued or required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the Confirmation Order, all Entities who have held, hold, or may hold Claims or Interests that have been released, discharged, or are subject to exculpation are permanently enjoined, from and after the Effective Date, from taking any of the following actions against, as applicable, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Exculpated Parties, or the Released Parties: (1) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or Case 23-90068 Document 522 Filed in TXSB on 04/28/23 Page 140 of 151


 
56 with respect to any such Claims or Interests; (2) enforcing, attaching, collecting, or recovering by any manner or means any judgment, award, decree, or order against such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests; (3) creating, perfecting, or enforcing any encumbrance of any kind against such Entities or the property or the Estates of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests; (4) asserting any right of setoff, subrogation, or recoupment of any kind against any obligation due from such Entities or against the property of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests unless such Holder has Filed a motion requesting the right to perform such setoff on or before the Effective Date, and notwithstanding an indication of a Claim or Interest or otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of setoff pursuant to applicable law or otherwise; and (5) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests released or settled pursuant to the Plan. Upon entry of the Confirmation Order, all Holders of Claims and Interests and their respective current and former employees, agents, officers, directors, principals, and direct and indirect Affiliates shall be enjoined from taking any actions to interfere with the implementation or Consummation of the Plan. Except as otherwise set forth in the Confirmation Order, each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, as applicable, by accepting, or being eligible to accept, distributions under or Reinstatement of such Claim or Interest, as applicable, pursuant to the Plan, shall be deemed to have consented to the injunction provisions set forth in this Article VIII.F hereof. With respect to Claims or Causes of Action that have not been released, discharged, or are not subject to exculpation, no Person or Entity may commence or pursue a Claim or Cause of Action of any kind against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Exculpated Parties, or the Released Parties that relates to any act or omission occurring from the Petition Date to the Effective Date in connection with, relating to, or arising out of, the Chapter 11 Cases, the formulation, preparation, dissemination, negotiation, or Filing of the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, or any Restructuring Transaction, contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created or entered into in connection with the Disclosure Statement or the Plan, the Filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the pursuit of Confirmation, the pursuit of Consummation, the administration and implementation of the Plan, including the issuance of securities pursuant to the Plan, or the distribution of property under the Plan or any other related agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, providing any legal opinion requested by any Entity regarding any transaction, contract, instrument, document, or other agreement contemplated by the Plan or the reliance by any Exculpated Party on the Plan or the Confirmation Order in lieu of such legal opinion), without the Bankruptcy Court (1) first determining, after notice and a hearing, that such Claim or Cause of Action represents a colorable Claim of any kind and (2) specifically authorizing such Person or Entity to bring such Claim or Cause of Action against any such Debtor, Reorganized Debtor, Exculpated Party, or Released Party. The Bankruptcy Court will have sole and exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate the underlying colorable Claim or Causes of Action. G. Protections Against Discriminatory Treatment. Consistent with section 525 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, all Entities, including Governmental Units, shall not discriminate against the Reorganized Debtors or deny, revoke, suspend, or refuse to renew a license, permit, charter, franchise, or other similar grant to, condition such a grant to, discriminate with respect to such a grant against, the Reorganized Debtors, or another Entity with whom the Reorganized Debtors have been associated, solely because each Debtor has been a debtor under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, has been insolvent before the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases (or during the Chapter 11 Cases but before the Debtors are granted or denied a discharge), or has not paid a debt that is dischargeable in the Chapter 11 Cases. H. Document Retention. On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may maintain documents in accordance with their standard document retention policy, as may be altered, amended, modified, or supplemented by the Reorganized Debtors.

If the Bankruptcy Court disallows a Claim for reimbursement or contribution of an Entity pursuant to section 502(e)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, then to the extent that such Claim is contingent as of the time of allowance or disallowance, such Claim shall be forever disallowed and expunged notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless prior to the Confirmation Date: (1) such Claim has been adjudicated as non-contingent or (2) the relevant Holder of a Claim has Filed a non-contingent Proof of Claim on account of such Claim and a Final Order has been entered prior to the Confirmation Date determining such Claim as no longer contingent.
