In accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Administrative Claims, DIP ABL Facility Claims, Professional Fee Claims, and Priority Tax Claims have not been classified and, thus, are excluded from the Classes of Claims and Interests set forth in Article III hereof.

A.             Administrative Claims.

Each Holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim (other than Holders of Administrative Claims that are Professional Fee Claims, Claims for fees and expenses pursuant to section 1930 of chapter 123 of title 28 of the United States Code, DIP ABL Facility Claims, or Swap Claims), to the extent such Claim has not been paid in full during the Chapter 11 Cases or such Holder has not agreed to less favorable treatment, will receive in full and final satisfaction of its Administrative Claim (a) payment in full in cash of the due and unpaid portion of its Allowed Administrative Claim on the later of (x) the Effective Date (or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable) or (y) as soon as practicable after the date such Claim becomes due and payable; (b) subject to the reasonable consent of the Debtors and the Required Consenting Term Loan Lenders, such other treatment to render such Administrative Claim unimpaired under section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code; or (c) subject to the reasonable consent of the Debtors and the Required Consenting Term Loan Lenders, such other treatment as such holder may agree to or as otherwise permitted by section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, that, Allowed Administrative Claims under section 507(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code shall only be satisfied in accordance with clause (a) or (c) of this paragraph.

Except as otherwise provided in this Article II.A of the Plan, and except with respect to Administrative Claims that are DIP ABL Facility Claims, Swap Claims, Professional Fee Claims, or Cures, requests for payment of Administrative Claims must be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on the Debtors pursuant to the procedures specified in the Confirmation Order and the notice of entry of the Confirmation Order no later than the Administrative Claims Bar Date. Holders of Administrative Claims that are required to, but do not, File and serve a request for payment of such Administrative Claims by such date shall be forever barred, estopped, and enjoined from asserting such Administrative Claims against the Debtors or their property and such Administrative Claims shall be deemed discharged as of the Effective Date.

B.             Professional Fee Claims.

1. Final Fee Applications and Payment of Professional Fee Claims.

All requests for payment of Professional Fee Claims for services rendered and reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to the Confirmation Date must be Filed no later than forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date. The Bankruptcy Court shall determine the Allowed amounts of such Professional Fee Claims after notice and a hearing in accordance with the procedures established by the Bankruptcy Court. The Reorganized Debtors shall pay Professional Fee Claims in Cash in the amount the Bankruptcy Court allows, including from the Professional Fee Escrow Account, which the Reorganized Debtors will establish in trust for the Professionals and fund with Cash equal to the Professional Fee Amount on the Effective Date. To the extent the funds held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account are insufficient to satisfy the amount of the Professional Fee Claims owing to the Professionals, such Professionals shall have an allowed Administrative Claim for any such deficiency, which shall be satisfied in accordance with Article II.A of the Plan.

2. Professional Fee Escrow Account.

On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall, without duplication of any account or amount established for the benefit of Professionals pursuant to a DIP/Cash Collateral Order, establish and fund the Professional Fee Escrow Account with Cash equal to the Professional Fee Amount, which shall be funded by the Reorganized Debtors. The Professional Fee Escrow Account shall be maintained in trust solely for the Professionals. Such funds shall not be considered property of the Estates of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors. The amount of Professional Fee Claims owing to the Professionals shall be paid in Cash to such Professionals by the Reorganized Debtors from the Professional Fee Escrow Account as soon as reasonably practicable after such Professional Fee Claims are Allowed. When all such Allowed amounts owing to Professionals have been paid in full, any remaining amount in the Professional Fee Escrow Account shall promptly be paid to the Reorganized Debtors without any further action or order of the Bankruptcy Court.

3. Professional Fee Amount.

Professionals shall reasonably estimate their unpaid Professional Fee Claims and other unpaid fees and expenses incurred in rendering services to the Debtors before and as of the Effective Date, and shall deliver such estimate to the Debtors no later than two (2) Business Days before the Effective Date; provided, however, that such estimate shall not be considered an admission with respect to the fees and expenses of such Professional or be deemed to limit the amount of the fees and expenses that are the subject of the Professional’s final request for payment of Filed Professional Fee Claims. If a Professional does not provide an estimate, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors may estimate the unpaid and unbilled fees and expenses of such Professional.

4. Post-Confirmation Fees and Expenses.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, from and after the Confirmation Date, the Debtors shall, in the ordinary course of business and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, pay in Cash the reasonable and documented legal, professional, or other fees and expenses related to implementation of the Plan and Consummation incurred by the Debtors. Upon the Confirmation Date, any requirement that Professionals comply with sections 327 through 331, 363, and 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code in seeking retention or compensation for services rendered after such date shall terminate, and the Debtors may employ and pay any Professional in the ordinary course of business without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

C.             DIP ABL Facility Claims.

The Reorganized Debtors shall pay all of the amounts that may become payable to the DIP ABL Agent or any of the DIP ABL Lenders under any of the foregoing provisions in accordance with the terms of the DIP ABL Documents. The DIP ABL Documents and all related loan documents shall continue in effect solely for the purpose of preserving the DIP ABL Agent’s right to any Surviving DIP Obligations of the Debtors pursuant to and subject to the terms of the DIP ABL Documents and the Final DIP/Cash Collateral Order.

Except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed DIP ABL Facility Claim agrees to a less favorable treatment, in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of each Allowed DIP ABL Facility Claim, on the Effective Date, each Holder thereof shall: (i) if those certain conversion conditions set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement remain unsatisfied as of the Effective Date, be Paid in Full on the Effective Date or (ii) if those certain conversion conditions as set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement are fully satisfied as of the Effective Date, receive its Pro Rata share of and interest in the Exit ABL Facility. Except with respect to the Surviving DIP Obligations and as otherwise expressly provided in the DIP ABL Documents, upon the Allowed DIP ABL Facility Claims being Paid in Full or such other treatment as contemplated by this Article II.C of the Plan, all Liens and security interests granted to secure the Allowed DIP ABL Facility Claims shall be automatically terminated and of no further force and effect without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Court or any other Entity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, including in Article VIII, neither the DIP ABL Facility Claims nor the ABL Facility Claims, shall not be deemed satisfied, settled, released, or discharged until the later of (i) the Effective Date of the Plan and (ii) (a) with respect to the DIP ABL Facility Claims, satisfaction in accordance with this Article II.C or (b) with respect to ABL Facility Claims, satisfaction in accordance with Article III.B.3.

Except to the extent that the Holder of an Allowed Swap Claim agrees to a less favorable treatment, in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of the Swap Claims, on the Effective Date, the Swap Claims shall be Paid in Full in Cash in the amount of the Allowed amount thereof from the proceeds of DIP ABL Priority Collateral and, solely to the extent that there is a deficiency of DIP ABL Priority Collateral, Cash from the proceeds of Term Loan Priority Collateral.

G.           Payment of Restructuring Expenses.

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 or as reasonably practicable thereafter (to the extent not previously paid during the course of the Chapter 11 Cases) in accordance with, and subject to, the terms set forth herein and in the Restructuring Support Agreement, 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.

ARTICLE III.

CLASSIFICATION AND TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS

A.          Classification of Claims and Interests.

This Plan constitutes a separate Plan proposed by each Debtor. Except for the Claims addressed in Article II of the Plan, all Claims and Interests are classified in the Classes set forth below in accordance with section 1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. A Claim or an Interest, or any portion thereof, is classified in a particular Class only to the extent that any portion of such Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of that Class and is classified in other Classes to the extent that any portion of such Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of such other Classes. A Claim or an Interest also is classified in a particular Class for the purpose of receiving distributions under the Plan only to the extent that such Claim or Interest is an Allowed Claim or Interest in that Class and has not been paid, released, or otherwise satisfied prior to the Effective Date.

The classification of Claims against and Interests in the Debtors pursuant to the Plan is as follows:

B.           Treatment of Claims and Interests.

Each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, as applicable, shall receive under the Plan the treatment described below in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of and in exchange for such Holder’s Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, except to the extent different treatment is agreed to by the Reorganized Debtors, the Super-Majority Consenting Term Loan Lenders, and the Holder of such Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, as applicable. Unless otherwise indicated, the Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, as applicable, shall receive such treatment on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, nothing under the Plan shall affect the Debtors’ or the Reorganized Debtors’ rights regarding any Unimpaired Claims, including, all rights regarding legal and equitable defenses to, or setoffs or recoupments against, any such Unimpaired Claims.

D.           Elimination of Vacant Classes

Any Class of Claims or Interests that does not have a Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest or a Claim or Interest temporarily Allowed by the Bankruptcy Court as of the date of the Confirmation Hearing shall be deemed eliminated from the Plan for purposes of voting to accept or reject the Plan and for purposes of determining acceptance or rejection of the Plan by such Class pursuant to section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code.

E.           Voting Classes, Presumed Acceptance by Non-Voting Classes

If a Class contains Claims or Interests eligible to vote and no Holders of Claims or Interests eligible to vote in such Class vote to accept or reject the Plan, the Holders of such Claims or Interests in such Class shall be deemed to have accepted the Plan.

F.            Intercompany Interests

To the extent Reinstated under the Plan, distributions on account of Intercompany Interests are not being received by Holders of such Intercompany Interests on account of their Intercompany Interests but for the purposes of administrative convenience, for the ultimate benefit of the Holders of New Equity, and in exchange for the Debtors’ and Reorganized Debtors’ agreement under the Plan to make certain distributions to the Holders of Allowed Claims.

G.           Confirmation Pursuant to Sections 1129(a)(10) and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Debtors shall seek Confirmation of the Plan pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any rejecting Class of Claims or Interests. The Debtors reserve the right to modify the Plan in accordance with Article X of the Plan to the extent, if any, that Confirmation pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code requires modification, including by modifying the treatment applicable to a Class of Claims or Interests to render such Class of Claims or Interests Unimpaired to the extent permitted by the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules.

H.           Controversy Concerning Impairment.

If a controversy arises as to whether any Claims or Interests, or any Class of Claims or Interests, are Impaired, the Bankruptcy Court shall, after notice and a hearing, determine such controversy on or before the Confirmation Date.

I.             Subordinated Claims.

The allowance, classification, and treatment of all Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests and the respective distributions and treatments under the Plan take into account and conform to the relative priority and rights of the Claims and Interests in each Class in connection with any contractual, legal, and equitable subordination rights relating thereto, whether arising under general principles of equitable subordination, section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise. Pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, and subject to the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to re-classify any Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest in accordance with any contractual, legal, or equitable subordination relating thereto.

On or (as applicable) prior to the Effective Date, 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, securities, and instruments contemplated under the Plan (or necessary or desirable to effect the transactions contemplated under the Plan) in the name of and on behalf of the Reorganized Debtors, including the New Equity, the New Warrants, the New Organizational Documents, the Exit ABL Facility Documents, the Exit Term Loan Facility Documents, and any and all other agreements, documents, securities, and instruments relating to the foregoing.

After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may amend and restate New Organizational Documents, and the Reorganized Debtors may file their respective certificates or articles of incorporation, bylaws, or such other applicable formation documents, and other constituent documents as permitted by the laws of the respective states, provinces, or countries of incorporation and the New Organizational Documents.

L.             Certain Securities Law Matters.

The New Equity and the New Warrants issued under the Plan will be issued without registration under the Securities Act or any similar federal, state, or local law in reliance upon section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. The New Equity and the New Warrants issued under the Plan in reliance upon section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code are exempt from, among other things, the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act and any other applicable U.S. state or local law requiring registration prior to the offering, issuance, distribution, or sale of securities. Pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, the New Equity and the New Warrants issued under the Plan: (a) are not “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act; and (b) are freely tradable and transferable by any holder thereof that (i) is not an “affiliate” of the Reorganized Debtors as defined in Rule 144(a)(1) under the Securities Act, (ii) has not been such an “affiliate” within ninety (90) days of such transfer, (iii) has not acquired the New Equity from an “affiliate” within one year of such transfer, and (iv) is not an Entity that is an “underwriter” as defined in section 1145(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Such New Equity and New Warrants will be freely tradable in the United States by the recipients thereof, subject to the provisions of section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code relating to the definition of an underwriter in section 1145(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and compliance with applicable securities laws and any rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, if any, applicable at the time of any future transfer of such Securities or instruments and subject to any restrictions in the New Organizational Documents and the New Warrant Agreement, as applicable. The New Equity issued pursuant to this Plan will (i) be DTC eligible, (ii) entitle the beneficial owner of such securities on a confidential basis to certain information as set forth in the New Organizational Documents, and (iii) entitle the beneficial owner to attend quarterly management calls with Q&A (which may be joint with lenders); provided, that the foregoing shall not be required with respect to such securities to the extent that, as a result thereof, the Reorganized Debtors will be (or will be required to be) an SEC registered entity.

DTC shall be required to accept and conclusively rely upon the Plan or Confirmation Order in lieu of a legal opinion regarding whether such securities are exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no legal opinion regarding the offering, issuance, and distribution of any Securities contemplated by the Plan, including, for the avoidance of doubt, whether the New Equity is exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services shall be required.

M.            Section 1146 Exemption.

To the fullest extent permitted by section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfers (whether from a Debtor to a Reorganized Debtor or to any other Person) of property under the Plan or pursuant to: (1) the issuance, reinstatement, distribution, transfer, or exchange of any debt, Equity Security, or other interest in the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors; (2) the Restructuring Transactions; (3) the creation, modification, consolidation, termination, refinancing, and/or recording of any mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest, or the securing of additional indebtedness by such or other means; (4) the making, assignment, or recording of any lease or sublease; (5) the grant of collateral as security for any or all of the Reorganized Debtors’ obligations under or in connection with the Exit Facilities; or (6) the making, delivery, or recording of any deed or other instrument of transfer under, in furtherance of, or in connection with, the Plan, including any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, or other instrument of transfer executed in connection with any transaction arising out of, contemplated by, or in any way related to the Plan, shall not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, stamp act, real estate transfer tax, personal property transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, Uniform Commercial Code filing or recording fee, regulatory filing or recording fee, or other similar tax or governmental assessment, and upon entry of the Confirmation Order, the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents shall forego the collection of any such tax, recordation fee or governmental assessment and accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax, recordation fee, or governmental assessment. All filing or recording officers (or any other Person with authority over any of the foregoing), wherever located and by whomever appointed, shall comply with the requirements of section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall forego the collection of any such tax, recordation fee or governmental assessment, and shall accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax, recordation fee or governmental assessment.

Except to the extent provided by Article VII of the Plan, nothing in the Plan shall limit, diminish, or otherwise alter the Debtors’ or the Reorganized Debtors’ defenses, claims, Causes of Action, or other rights with respect to any such employment agreements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code, on and after the Effective Date, all retiree benefits (as that term is defined in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code), if any, shall continue to be paid in accordance with applicable law.

As of the Effective Date, the obligations under the Pension Plan will continue in accordance with, and subject to, its terms and applicable non-bankruptcy law (and the Reorganized Debtors reserve all rights thereunder), and as a consequence, PBGC and the Debtors agree that the Debtors will timely pay the October 2020 Pension Plan premiums and that all PBGC Claims will be deemed withdrawn as of the Effective Date without incurring liability in the bankruptcy and without any further action of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors or PBGC and without any further action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

Nothing in the Debtors’ bankruptcy proceedings, Confirmation Order, Plan of Reorganization, or Section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code shall in any way be construed to discharge, release, limit, or relieve the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, or any of their successors, any officers, any directors or any other employee of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, any parties in interest (as defined in ERISA § 3(14)) to the Pension Plan (including any fiduciaries of the Pension Plan and any Pension Plan service providers), or any other Persons that have caused harm to the Pension Plan or improperly received assets of the Pension Plan from any liability or responsibility that is both (i) imposed under ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code, or any other law with respect to the Pension Plan and (ii) enforced solely by PBGC or the Pension Plan. PBGC and the Pension Plan shall not be enjoined or precluded from enforcing any liability or responsibility arising under ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code, or any other law with respect to the Pension Plan.

On the Effective Date, each Collective Bargaining Agreement shall be assumed by the applicable Debtor party thereto. Any Proofs of Claim filed by a Union for amounts due under its applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement and any Cure related thereto shall be considered satisfied by the agreement to assume and the satisfaction of any Cure, if any, in accordance with Article V herein. For the avoidance of doubt, following such assumption, the applicable Debtor shall continue to be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement (until their expiration, modification or termination in accordance with their terms or applicable law) and shall pay any amounts that come due for payment post-assumption in the ordinary course of business in accordance with such terms and conditions.

O.             Management Incentive Plan.

The New Board shall be authorized to implement the Management Incentive Plan on or after the Effective Date; provided, that 7.5% of the aggregate amount of New Equity on a fully diluted basis shall be reserved for the Management Incentive Plan.

P.             Long-Term Incentive Plan.

The New Board shall adopt the Long-Term Incentive Plan within 90 days of the Effective Date. The Long-Term Incentive Plan shall include provisions addressing, among other things, incentives for certain employees.

Q.            Change in Control Severance Plans.

The New Board shall adopt the Change in Control Severance Plans within 90 days of the Effective Date. The Change in Control Severance Plans shall cover the same employees and shall otherwise be substantially similar to the change in control severance plans offered by the Debtors to certain of their employees prior to the Effective Date; provided, that the Change in Control Severance Plans shall clarify that any future bankruptcy or reorganization of the Reorganized Debtors does not constitute a change in control.

R.             Preservation of Causes of Action.

In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, but subject to Article VIII hereof, the Reorganized Debtors shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, including any actions specifically enumerated in the Schedule of Retained Causes of Action, and the Reorganized Debtors’ 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 releases and exculpations contained in the Plan, including in Article VIII.

The Reorganized Debtors may pursue such retained Causes of Action, as appropriate, in accordance with the best interests of the Reorganized Debtors. No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure Statement to any Cause 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 or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, 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 of the Plan. Unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or a Bankruptcy Court order, Reorganized Tailored expressly reserves 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 notwithstanding the rejection or repudiation of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease during the Chapter 11 Cases or pursuant to the 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 Reorganized Tailored, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, including Article VIII of the Plan. The Reorganized Debtors, through its 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.

On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall waive and release all Avoidance Actions and Avoidance Actions shall not be retained Causes of Action.

S.             The Liquidating Trust.

1.         Establishment of the Liquidating Trust.

On the Effective Date, the Debtors will establish the Liquidating Trust in order to maximize the distribution available to Holders of Allowed Class 5(b) Claims. The Liquidating Trust will have no objective other than as set forth in, and shall fulfill its purpose in accordance with, this Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement and shall have the obligation to carry out its Claims reconciliation duties as effectively as possible without undue delay.

On the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trust Assets shall irrevocably vest and be deemed to vest in the Liquidating Trust in accordance with section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code or as otherwise set forth in the Liquidating Trust Agreement; provided, however, that (i) any New Warrants that would otherwise be attributable to the Holders of Class 5(b) Claims that elect the Cash Option shall be cancelled, and shall not be redistributed to other Holders of Class 5(b) Claims that did not elect the Cash Option, (ii) any New Equity that would otherwise be attributable to the Holders of Class 5(b) Claims that elect the Cash Option shall be redistributed to the Reorganized Debtors, and shall not be redistributed to other Holders of Class 5(b) Claims that did not elect the Cash Option; provided, further, that any Liquidating Trustee Fee Amount remaining in the Liquidating Trust following the final distribution shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors. The Liquidating Trust will hold the Liquidating Trust Assets for the benefit of the beneficiaries thereof, subject to the foregoing and the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall (i) fund an amount equal to the Liquidating Trustee Fee Amount to be placed in a segregated account and held in trust by the Liquidating Trustee and (ii) transfer all rights, title, and interest in the other Liquidating Trust Assets, free and clear of any and all liens, claims, interest, or encumbrances to the Liquidating Trust for the benefit of the beneficiaries thereof; provided, however, (x) that any New Warrants that would otherwise be attributable to the Holders of Class 5(b) Claims that elect the Cash Option shall be cancelled, and shall not be redistributed to other Holders of Class 5(b) Claims that did not elect the Cash Option, and (y) any New Equity that would otherwise be attributable to the Holders of Class 5(b) Claims that elect the Cash Option shall be redistributed to the Reorganized Debtors, and shall not be redistributed to other Holders of Class 5(b) Claims that did not elect the Cash Option.

Following the Effective Date, the True-Up Parties shall implement and abide by the True-Up Procedures.

The Liquidating Trust shall be solely responsible for determining the WPC Equity Recovery Pool. After careful consideration of WPC’s capital structure, including the lack of WPC debt under the ABL Loans, Term Loans, and Unsecured Notes, it was determined that Holders of WPC Class 5(b) Claims may be entitled to a greater percentage recovery than Holders of Class 5(b) Claims against the United States Debtors. The best current estimate of the amount of Allowed Class 5(b) General Unsecured Claims is $15 million to $30 million, although the amount of Filed Class 5(b) General Unsecured Claims is approximately $80 million. It is estimated that the WPC Equity Recovery Pool will range from between 0.7% and 1.6% of the New Equity, with the remainder of the Liquidating Trust Equity constituting the U.S. Equity Recovery Pool.

Upon final determination of the Allowed Class 5(b) Claims, the Liquidating Trustee shall provide notice to the Reorganized Debtors of the total amount of Allowed Class 5(b) Claims, and a breakdown of the Holders of Allowed Class 5(b) Claims that have elected the Cash Option. The Debtors shall then make a final distribution in respect of the Cash Option to any holders of Allowed Class 5(b) Claims that have not already received their Cash, and the Liquidating Trustee shall then make a final distribution from the Liquidating Trust Assets to the Holders of Allowed Class 5(b) Claims of their respective Liquidating Trust Equity Recovery; provided, that the Liquidating Trustee shall distribute the Liquidating Trust Equity Recovery of applicable Holders that have selected the Cash Option to the Reorganized Debtors and cancel all remaining New Warrants. For the avoidance of doubt, no Intercompany Claims shall receive any recovery from the Liquidating Trust and shall not be eligible to receive the Liquidating Trust Equity Recovery.

2.       Rights and Powers of the Liquidating Trustee.

The Liquidating Trustee’s activities shall be limited to (a) prosecuting objections to and resolving Claims asserted as Class 5(b) Claims; (b) distributing the Liquidating Trust Equity Recovery to Holders of Allowed Class 5(b) Claims; (c) exercising rights and obligations as provided in the Liquidating Trust Agreement, shareholders agreement and such other New Organizational Documents to which the Liquidating Trustee shall be a party or bound, (d) raising funds to satisfy the Cash strike price of the New Warrants to the extent desirable to the Liquidating Trust, and (e) such other limited activities as are necessary to the proper execution of the foregoing. The Liquidating Trustee’s rights relating to the administration of Claims shall include the right to (i) object to or otherwise contest and/or resolve Claims asserted as Class 5(b) Claims (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases), whether asserted in a Proof of Claim or scheduled by a Debtor and (ii) assert any and all rights of setoff, counterclaims, recoupment claims, and claims under contracts, insofar as such rights relate to the objection or contest of any Class 5(b) Claim (together, the “Liquidating Trust Claim Rights”).

The Liquidating Trustee shall have the authority to reasonably retain any professionals necessary to assist the Liquidating Trustee in carrying out its duties under the Liquidating Trust Agreement; provided that the Liquidating Trustee and any such professionals shall be compensated solely from Liquidating Trustee Fee Amount and in no event shall the Liquidating Trustee or any of its professionals have or make any claim for reimbursement of fees or expenses against any Person other than the Liquidating Trustee or any property other than the Liquidating Trustee Fee Amount. Further, the Liquidating Trustee shall have the authority to pay its professionals out of the Liquidating Trustee Fee Amount without the need for further Bankruptcy Court approval.

The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will cooperate with the Liquidating Trustee and its professionals, as applicable, solely in relation to the activities of the Liquidating Trustee expressly authorized hereunder, including by providing reasonable, good-faith access to personnel, systems, and books and records, upon request by the Liquidating Trustee, to the extent and at such times as providing such access will not interfere with the discharge of the primary obligations of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and their respective personnel.

To the extent that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors determine that responding to any particular information request from the Liquidating Trustee requires the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or their personnel to expend material time or resources outside the ordinary course of their operations or responsibilities, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or their personnel shall communicate the same to the Liquidating Trustee, together with a range of expected costs to satisfy such information request. Such parties shall work in good faith to address any disputes arising in connection with such cost analysis. The Liquidating Trust shall satisfy any agreed-upon cost expenditures solely through the Liquidating Trustee Fee Amount; in the absence of such agreement, the Liquidating Trustee may withdraw its information request, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, may determine to not satisfy such request, and all parties’ rights are reserved to raise any such disputes with the Bankruptcy Court.

T.             Tax Treatment of the Liquidating Trust and the Cash Option

1.       Liquidating Trust Treatment

The Liquidating Trust may, except as otherwise set forth below with respect to treatment as a disputed ownership fund, be classified as a “liquidating trust” under section 301.7701-4(d) of the Treasury Regulations and qualify as a “grantor trust” under section 671 of the Internal Revenue Code. In such case, any beneficiaries of such Liquidating Trust would be treated as grantors and deemed owners thereof and, for all United States federal income tax purposes, any beneficiaries would be treated as if they had received a distribution from the Debtors of an undivided interest in the assets of the Liquidating Trust and then contributed such undivided interest to the vehicle. If this treatment applies, the person or persons responsible for administering the Liquidating Trust shall, in an expeditious but orderly manner, make timely distributions to beneficiaries of the Liquidating Trust pursuant to the Plan and not unduly prolong its duration.

No entity-level tax should be imposed on the Liquidating Trust with respect to earnings generated by the assets held by the Liquidating Trust to the extent “liquidating trust” treatment applies. Each beneficiary must report on its federal income tax return its allocable share of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit, if any, recognized or incurred by the Liquidating Trust, even if no distributions are made. Allocations of taxable income with respect to the Liquidating Trust shall be determined by reference to the manner in which an amount of cash equal to such taxable income would be distributed (without regard to any restriction on distributions described herein) if, immediately before such deemed distribution, the Liquidating Trust had distributed all of their other assets (valued for this purpose at their tax book value) to the beneficiaries, taking into account all prior and concurrent distributions from the Liquidating Trust. Similarly, taxable losses of the Liquidating Trust will be allocated by reference to the manner in which an economic loss would be borne immediately after a liquidating distribution of the remaining assets. The tax book value of the assets for this purpose shall equal their respective fair market values on the Effective Date or, if later, the date such assets were acquired, adjusted in either case in accordance with the tax accounting principles prescribed by the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, Treasury Regulations, and other applicable administrative and judicial authorities and pronouncements.

In the event any tax is imposed on the Liquidating Trust, the person or persons responsible for administering the Liquidating Trust shall be responsible for payment, solely out of the assets of the Liquidating Trust of any taxes imposed on the Liquidating Trust.

2.       Disputed Ownership Fund Treatment

With respect to any of the assets of the Liquidating Trust that are subject to potential disputed claims of ownership or uncertain distributions, the Liquidating Trust may be subject to disputed ownership fund treatment under Section 1.468B-9 of the Treasury Regulations. Under such treatment, a separate federal income tax return shall be filed with the IRS for any such account. Any taxes (including with respect to earned interest, if any) imposed on the Liquidating Trust as a result of this treatment shall be paid out of the assets of the Liquidating Trust (and reductions shall be made to amounts disbursed from the account to account for the need to pay such taxes).

2.       Tax Treatment of the Cash Option

The Liquidating Trust Agreement shall set forth the intended tax treatment of Holders of Claims exercising the Cash Option. The treatment set forth therein shall be binding for all U.S. federal, state, local, and non-U.S. tax purposes on the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, any Holder of a Claim, and the Liquidating Trust, unless otherwise required by a final determination by a relevant taxing authority.

U.            Closing the Chapter 11 Cases.

Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall be permitted to close all of the Chapter 11 Cases except for one of the Chapter 11 Cases as determined by the Reorganized Debtors and the Required Consenting Term Loan Lenders and all contested matters relating to each of the Debtors, including objections to Claims, shall be administered and heard in such Chapter 11 Case.

ARTICLE V.

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

A.             Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

On the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided herein, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease (including those set forth as assumed in the Schedules of Assumed and Rejected Contracts) shall be deemed assumed as of the Effective Date by the applicable Debtor pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease: (1) was previously assumed, assumed and assigned, or rejected by the Debtors (which assumption, assumption and assignment, or rejection shall have been with the consent of the Required Consenting Term Loan Lenders); (2) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms; (3) is identified as rejected on the Schedules of Assumed and Rejected Contracts; (4) is the subject of a motion to reject that is pending on the Effective Date; or (5) is a Deferred Decision Lease. On the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided herein, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease that is identified as rejected on the Schedules of Assumed and Rejected Contracts shall be deemed rejected as of the Effective Date by the applicable Debtor pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall, subject to and upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, constitute a Final Order approving the assumptions, assumptions and assignments, and rejections, as applicable, of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases as set forth in the Plan, and the Schedules of Assumed and Rejected Contracts, as applicable, pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Any motions to assume, assume and assign, or reject 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. Unless otherwise specified in the Plan Supplement, the Schedules of Assumed and Rejected Contracts, or an applicable Bankruptcy Court order, assumptions, assumptions and assignments, or rejections of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to the Plan are effective as of the Effective Date. Each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan or by any order of the Bankruptcy Court, which has not been assigned to a third party prior to the Confirmation 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 be modified by the provisions of the Plan or any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption under applicable federal law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, with the consent of the Required Consenting Term Loan Lenders shall have the right to alter, amend, modify, or supplement the Schedules of Assumed and Rejected Contracts identified in this Article V.A of the Plan and in the Plan Supplement at any time through and including 45 days after the Effective Date; provided, however, that after the date of the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors may not subsequently reject any Unexpired Lease, other than a Deferred Decision Lease, previously designated as assumed or assumed and assigned or assume or assume and assign an Unexpired Lease previously designated as rejected on the Schedules of Assumed and Rejected Contracts absent the consent of the applicable lessor, order of the Bankruptcy Court, or as otherwise provided for in this Plan.

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 or parties to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to terminate such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to exercise any other default-related rights with respect thereto.

B.             Indemnification Obligations.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligations of the Debtors pursuant to their certificates of incorporation, bylaws, or other agreements to indemnify the current and former officers, directors, agents, and/or employees with respect to all present and future actions, suits, and proceedings against the Debtors, or such directors, officers, agents, and/or employees, based upon any act or omission relating to the Debtors, will not be discharged or impaired by consummation of the Restructuring Transactions. All such obligations will be assumed by the Debtors on the Effective Date, and all such obligations will continue as obligations of the Reorganized Debtors.

The Debtors shall not terminate or otherwise reduce the coverage under any directors’ and officers’ insurance policies (including the “tail policy”) in effect prior to the Effective Date, and any directors and officers of the Debtors who served in such capacity at any time before or after the Effective Date shall be entitled to the full benefits of any such policy for the full term of such policy regardless of whether such directors and/or officers remain in such positions after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Debtors shall retain the ability to supplement such directors’ and officers’ insurance policies as the Debtors deem necessary, including purchasing any tail coverage.

C.           Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases.

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 Claims and Noticing Agent and served on the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, no later than thirty (30) days after the date of entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court (including the Confirmation Order) approving such rejection. 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 or the Reorganized Debtors, the Estates, or their property without the need for any objection by the Reorganized Debtors or further notice to, or 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, including any Claims against any Debtor listed on the Schedules as unliquidated, contingent, or disputed. All Allowed Claims arising from the rejection by any Debtor of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be treated as a General Unsecured Claim in accordance with Article III.B and Article III.C of the Plan.

D.           Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall satisfy Cures, if any, on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by the parties to the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, all requests for satisfaction of Cures that differ from the amounts paid or proposed to be paid by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors to a counterparty and any requests for alternate performance and/or timing of performance to cure any nonmonetary defaults that constitute a Cure must be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court on or before the applicable date specified in the notice of assumption or assumption and assignment of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. Any such request that is not timely Filed shall be disallowed and forever barred, estopped, and enjoined from assertion, and shall not be enforceable against any Reorganized Debtor, without the need for any objection by the Reorganized Debtors or any other party in interest or any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Any Cure shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged upon satisfaction by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors of the Cure; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Reorganized Debtors from satisfying any Cure despite the failure of the relevant counterparty to File such request for satisfaction of such Cure. The Reorganized Debtors also may settle any Cure without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. In addition, any objection to the assumption of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease under the Plan must be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court on or before the applicable date specified in the notice of assumption or assumption and assignment of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. Any such objection will be scheduled to be heard by the Bankruptcy Court at the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’, as applicable, first scheduled omnibus hearing for which such objection is timely Filed. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to timely object to the proposed assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease will be deemed to have consented to such assumption.

Any monetary defaults under each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the Cure amount in Cash on the Effective Date, subject to the limitation described below, or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases may otherwise agree. 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” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed, or (3) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the Cure payments and/or performance 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; provided that the Reorganized Debtors may settle any such dispute without any further notice to, or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other Entity; provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, prior to the entry of a Final Order resolving any such dispute and approving the assumption of any such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, the Reorganized Debtors shall have the right to reject any such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is subject to dispute, whether by amending the Schedules of Assumed and Rejected Contracts in accordance with Article V.A of the Plan or otherwise.

At least fourteen (14) days prior to the first day of the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors shall provide for notices of proposed assumption or assumption and assignment and proposed Cures to be Filed and sent to applicable third parties, which notices will include procedures for objecting thereto and resolution of disputes by the Bankruptcy Court; provided, that to the extent counsel for an applicable third party has Filed a notice of appearance and request for notice in these Chapter 11 Cases on behalf of such third party and included an electronic mailing address in such notice of appearance, the notices of proposed assumption or assumption and assignment shall also be sent via electronic mail to counsel for such third party. The Debtors shall serve (by electronic mail, if requested) a counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed or assumed and assigned with evidence of adequate assurance as soon as reasonably practicable upon such counterparty’s written request to the Debtors’ counsel. Any objection by a counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to a proposed assumption or assumption and assignment or related Cure must be Filed, served, and actually received by the Debtors no later than the applicable date specified in the notice of assumption or assumption and assignment of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to timely object to the proposed assumption or Cure will be deemed to have assented to such assumption or assumption and assignment and Cure.

Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise and full satisfaction of any applicable Cure pursuant to this Article V.D shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Cures, 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 and all Proofs of Claim based upon Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that have been assumed in the Chapter 11 Cases, including pursuant to the Confirmation Order, and for which any Cure has been fully satisfied pursuant to this Article V.D, shall be deemed disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without the need for any objection thereto or any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon assumption of an Unexpired Lease, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall be obligated to pay or perform any accrued but unbilled obligations under the Unexpired Lease including, but not limited to, common area maintenance charges, taxes, year-end adjustments, and indemnity obligations under the Unexpired Lease, regardless of whether a claim arose before or after the Petition Date.

E.            Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements, or Other Agreements

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed or assumed and assigned 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.            Surety Bonds.

On the Effective Date, all of the Debtors’ obligations and commitments to any surety providers as set forth in the Final Order Authorizing the Debtors to Maintain the Surety Bond Program [Docket No. 444] shall be deemed reaffirmed by the Reorganized Debtors, including as applicable: (i) surety payment and indemnity agreements, setting forth the sureties’ rights against the Debtors, and the Debtors’ obligations to pay and indemnify the sureties from any loss, cost, or expense that the sureties may incur, in each case, on account of the issuance of any surety bonds on behalf of the Debtors; (ii) surety collateral agreements governing collateral, if any, in connection with the Debtors’ surety bonds; and/or (iii) ordinary course premium payments to any surety for the Debtors’ surety bonds.

G.           Insurance Policies.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the Plan Supplement, the Confirmation Order, any bar date notice or claim objection, any other document related to any of the foregoing, or any other order of the Bankruptcy Court (including, without limitation, any other provision that purports to be preemptory or supervening, grants an injunction, discharge or release, or requires a party to opt out of any releases): (1) on the Effective Date, the Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all Insurance Policies in their entirety pursuant to sections 105 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and such Insurance Policies shall revest in the Reorganized Debtors, and the Reorganized Debtors shall remain liable in full for all of their and the Debtors’ obligations thereunder, regardless of whether such obligations arise before or after the Effective Date, without the requirement or need for any Insurer to File a Proof of Claim, an Administrative Claim, a Cure, or to object to any Cure; (2) nothing shall alter, modify, amend, affect, impair, or prejudice the legal, equitable, or contractual rights, obligations, and defenses of the Insurers, the Debtors (or, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors), or any other individual or Entity, as applicable, under any Insurance Policies, and all such rights and obligations shall be determined under the Insurance Policies and applicable non-bankruptcy law as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not occurred; and (3) the automatic stay of section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and the injunctions set forth in Article VIII of the Plan, if and to the extent applicable, shall be deemed lifted without further order of this Bankruptcy Court, solely to permit: (a) claimants with valid workers’ compensation claims or direct action claims against an Insurer under applicable non-bankruptcy law to proceed with their claims; (b) the Insurers to administer, handle, defend, settle, and/or pay, in the ordinary course of business and without further order of this Bankruptcy Court, (i) workers’ compensation claims, (ii) claims where a claimant asserts a direct action claim against any Insurer under applicable non-bankruptcy law, or an order has been entered by this Bankruptcy Court granting a claimant relief from the automatic stay to proceed with its claim, and (iii) all costs in relation to each of the foregoing; (c) the Insurers to draw against any or all of the collateral or security provided by or on behalf of the Debtors (or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable) at any time and to hold the proceeds thereof as security for the obligations of the Debtors (and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable) and/or apply such proceeds to the obligations of the Debtors (and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable) under the Insurance Policies, in such order as the applicable Insurer may determine; and (d) the Insurers to cancel any Insurance Policy, and take other actions relating to the Insurance Policies (including effectuating a setoff), to the extent permissible under applicable non-bankruptcy law, and in accordance with the terms of the Insurance Policies.

H.           Reservation of Rights.

Nothing contained in the Plan or the Plan Supplement, shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any of the Reorganized Debtors have 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 thirty (30) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter its treatment of such contract or lease under the Plan.

I.             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.

J.            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 liable thereunder 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.          Timing and Calculation of Amounts to Be Distributed.

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or Confirmation Order (and except with respect to the distribution of the Liquidating Trust Assets), on the Effective Date (or if a Claim is not an Allowed Claim on the Effective Date, on the date that such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter), each holder of an Allowed Claim (as applicable) shall receive the full amount of the distributions that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims (as applicable) in the applicable Class. In the event that any payment or act under the Plan is required to be made or performed on a date that is not a Business Day, then the making of such payment or the performance of such act may be completed on the next succeeding Business Day, but shall be deemed to have been completed as of the required date. If and to the extent that there are Disputed Claims, distributions on account of any such Disputed Claims shall be made pursuant to the provisions set forth in Article VII hereof. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, holders of Claims shall not be entitled to interest, dividends, or accruals on the distributions provided for in the Plan, regardless of whether such distributions are delivered on or at any time after the Effective Date.

B.            Disbursing Agent.

Other than with respect to distribution of the Liquidating Trust Assets, all distributions under the Plan shall be made by the Disbursing Agent on the Effective Date. The Disbursing 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. Additionally, in the event that the Disbursing Agent is so otherwise ordered, all costs and expenses of procuring any such bond or surety shall be borne by the Reorganized Debtors.

1.      Powers of the Disbursing Agent.

The Disbursing 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; (c) employ professionals to represent it with respect to its responsibilities; and (d) exercise such other powers as may be vested in the Disbursing Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to the Plan, or as deemed by the Disbursing 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 expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent on or after the Effective Date (including taxes), and any reasonable compensation and expense reimbursement claims (including reasonable attorney fees and expenses), made by the Disbursing Agent shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors.

D.            Delivery of Distributions of Liquidating Trust Assets.

All distributions of Liquidating Trust Recovery to Holders of Allowed Class 5(b) Claims entitled to recovery from the Liquidating Trust or the Reorganized Debtors (with respect to the Cash Option), as applicable, shall be made by the Liquidating Trustee or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of this Plan and governed the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

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.

2.       Delivery of Distributions in General.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Disbursing 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, however, that the manner of such distributions shall be determined at the discretion of the Reorganized Debtors; provided, further, that the address for each Holder of an Allowed Claim shall be deemed to be the address set forth in any Proof of Claim Filed by that Holder. The Disbursing Agent shall not be required to give any bond, surety, or other Security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, any distributions to a Holder of an Allowed Unsecured Notes Claim shall be made to or at the direction of the Trustee which shall act as Disbursing Agent (or direct the Disbursing Agent) for distributions to the Holders of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims, in accordance with this Plan and the Unsecured Notes Indenture. The Trustee shall not incur any liability whatsoever on account of any distributions under the Plan except for gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, such distributions shall be subject in all respects to any rights of the Trustee to assert a charging lien against such distributions. The 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 the respective Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims to the extent consistent with the customary practices of DTC; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any charging lien asserted by the Trustee shall attach to the property to be distributed in the same manner as if such distributions were made through the Trustee. All distributions to be made to Holders of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims shall be eligible to be distributed through the facilities of DTC and as provided for under the Unsecured Notes Indenture.

3.       De Minimis Distributions; Minimum Distributions.

No fractional shares of New 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 Equity that is not a whole number, the actual distribution of shares of New Equity shall be rounded as follows: (a) fractions of one-half (½) or greater shall be rounded to the next higher whole number and (b) fractions of less than one-half (½) shall be rounded to the next lower whole number with no further payment therefore. The total number of authorized shares of New Equity to be distributed to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be adjusted as necessary to account for the foregoing rounding.

The Disbursing Agent shall not make any distributions to a Holder of an Allowed Claim or an Allowed Interest on account of such Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest of New Equity or Cash where such distribution is valued, in the reasonable discretion of the Disbursing Agent, at less than $100.00, and each Claim or Interest to which this limitation applies shall be discharged pursuant to Article VIII of the Plan and its Holder shall be forever barred pursuant to Article VIII of the Plan from asserting that Claim against or Interest in the Reorganized Debtors or their property.

4.       Undeliverable Distributions and Unclaimed Property.

In the event that either (a) a distribution to any Holder is returned as undeliverable or (b) the Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest does not respond to a request by the Debtors or the Disbursing Agent for information necessary to facilitate a particular distribution, no distribution to such Holder shall be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent has determined the then-current address of such Holder or received the necessary information to facilitate a particular distribution, at which time such distribution shall be made to such Holder without interest, dividends, or other accruals of any kind; provided that such distributions shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code on the date that is six months after the later of (x) the Effective Date and (y) the date of the distribution. 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 local, state, federal, or foreign escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws to the contrary), and the Claim or Interest of any Holder to such property or interest in property shall be discharged and forever barred.

F.            Manner of Payment.

At the option of the Disbursing 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.

G.           Compliance with Tax Requirements and Certain Other Tax Matters.

In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, the Liquidating Trust, Disbursing 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. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, such parties shall (x) 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 and (y) shall reasonably cooperate with the relevant recipients to minimize any such withholding to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, and Liquidating Trust reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and other spousal awards, Liens, and encumbrances.

H.           Allocations.

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.

I.             No Postpetition Interest on Claims.

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, the DIP/Cash Collateral Order, or the Confirmation Order, or required by applicable bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy law, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on any prepetition Claims against the Debtors, and no Holder of a prepetition Claim against the Debtors shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any such prepetition Claim. Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing, 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.

J.             Foreign Currency Exchange Rate.

Except as otherwise provided in a Bankruptcy Court 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.

K.           Setoffs and Recoupment.

Except as expressly provided in this Plan, each Reorganized Debtor may, pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code, set off and/or recoup against any Plan Distributions to be made on account of any Allowed Claim, any and all claims, rights, and Causes of Action that such Reorganized Debtor may hold against the Holder of such Allowed Claim to the extent such setoff or recoupment is either (1) agreed in amount among the relevant Reorganized Debtor(s) and Holder of Allowed Claim or (2) otherwise adjudicated by the Bankruptcy Court or another court of competent jurisdiction; provided that neither the failure to effectuate a setoff or recoupment nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by a Reorganized Debtor or its successor of any and all claims, rights, and Causes of Action that such Reorganized Debtor or its successor may possess against the applicable Holder. In no event shall any Holder of Claims against, or Interests in, the Debtors be entitled to recoup any such Claim or Interest against any claim, right, or Cause of Action of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, unless such Holder actually has performed such recoupment and provided notice thereof in writing to the Debtors in accordance with Article XII.H of the Plan on or before the Effective Date, notwithstanding any indication in any Proof of Claim or otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of recoupment.

L.            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 Claim 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. Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, to the extent a Holder of a Claim receives a distribution on account of such Claim and 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 14-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 an Allowed 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 pay 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 Insurers’ agreement, the applicable portion of such Claim may be expunged without a Claim 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, payment distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims covered by Insurance Policies 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 Cause of Action that the Debtors or any Entity may hold against any other Entity, including Insurers under any policies of Insurance Policies, nor shall anything contained herein constitute or be deemed a waiver by such insurers of any defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such Insurers.

ARTICLE VII. 

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CONTINGENT, AND UNLIQUIDATED CLAIMS OR INTERESTS

A.           Allowance of Claims.

After the Effective Date and subject to the terms of this Plan, each of the Reorganized Debtors (and the Liquidating Trustee on their behalf), shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses such Debtor had with respect to any Claim or Interest immediately prior to the Effective Date. The Debtors may affirmatively determine to deem Unimpaired Claims Allowed to the same extent such Claims would be allowed under applicable non-bankruptcy law.

B.           Claims Administration Responsibilities.

Except with respect to General Unsecured Claims as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have the sole authority: (1) to File, withdraw, or litigate to judgment, objections to Claims or Interests; (2) to settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court; and (3) to administer and adjust the Claims Register to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court; provided, that the Liquidating Trustee shall have the sole authority: (i) to File, withdraw, or litigate to judgment, objections to General Unsecured Claims; (ii) to settle or compromise any Disputed General Unsecured Claim without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court; and (3) to administer and adjust the Claims Register to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court. For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise provided herein, from and after the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor (and the Liquidating Trustee on their behalf with respect to General Unsecured Claims) shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses such Debtor had immediately prior to the Effective Date with respect to any Disputed Claim or Interest.

C.           Estimation of Claims.

Before, on, or after the Effective Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may (but are not required to) at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Claim pursuant to applicable law, including, without limitation, pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason (any such motion, an “Estimation Motion”), regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 to estimate any such Claim, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or during the pendency of any appeal relating to such objection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Estimation Motions as to a General Unsecured Claim (any such motion, a “GUC Estimation Motion”) shall only be filed with the mutual consent of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and the Liquidating Trustee; provided, that in the event the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, believe the Liquidating Trustee is unreasonably withholding consent with regard to the Filing of such GUC Estimation Motion, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall request that the Honorable David R. Jones make a determination as to whether it is appropriate for the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, to File such Estimation Motion; provided, further, that, in the event the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and the Liquidating Trustee are unable to reach a consensual resolution regarding the Filing of such GUC Estimation Motion following an applicable determination by the Honorable David R. Jones, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may File a motion in the Bankruptcy Court requesting the authority to File such GUC Estimation Motion as to the applicable General Unsecured Claims. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary 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 Disputed, contingent, or unliquidated Claim, such estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim for all purposes under the Plan (including for purposes of distributions and discharge) and may be used as evidence in any supplemental proceedings, and the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such Claim, provided it is not a General Unsecured Claim. Notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, in no event shall any Holder of a Claim that has been estimated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise be entitled to seek reconsideration of such estimation unless such Holder has Filed a motion requesting the right to seek such reconsideration on or before seven (7) days after the date on which such Claim is estimated. Each of the foregoing Claims and objection, estimation, and resolution procedures are cumulative and not exclusive of one another. Claims may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn, or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

D.           Adjustment to Claims or Interests without Objection.

Any Claim or Interest that has been paid, satisfied, amended, superseded, cancelled, or otherwise expunged (including pursuant to the Plan) may be adjusted or expunged on the Claims Register at the direction of the Reorganized Debtors or the Liquidating Trustee, as applicable, without the Reorganized Debtors or the Liquidating Trustee 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. Additionally, any Claim or Interest that is duplicative or redundant with another Claim or Interest against the same Debtor may be adjusted or expunged on the Claims Register at the direction of the Reorganized Debtors or the Liquidating Trustee, as applicable, without the Reorganized Debtors or the Liquidating Trustee, as applicable, 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.

E.            Time to File Objections to Claims.

Any objections to Claims shall be Filed on or before the later of (a) one-hundred-eighty (180) days after the Effective Date and (b) such other period of limitation as may be specifically fixed by the Bankruptcy Court upon motion of the Liquidating Trustee for an extension of time for objecting to such claims, made before the objection period has passed.

F.            Amendments to Proofs of Claim.

A Proof of Claim against any Debtor may be amended before the Effective Date only as agreed upon by the Debtors and the Holder of such Claim or Interest or as otherwise permitted by the Bankruptcy Court, the Bankruptcy Rules, or applicable nonbankruptcy law. On or after the Effective Date, except as provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, a Proof of Claim may not be Filed or amended without the prior authorization of the Bankruptcy Court or the Reorganized Debtors, and any such new or amended Proof of Claim Filed shall be deemed disallowed in full and expunged without any further action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court absent prior Bankruptcy Court approval or agreement by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to Administrative Claims other than 503(b)(9) Claims.

G.            Disallowance of Claims or Interests.

Except as otherwise provided herein, by prior Order of the Bankruptcy Court, 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.

ARTICLE VIII. 

SETTLEMENT, RELEASE, INJUNCTION, AND RELATED PROVISIONS

A.           Discharge of Claims and Termination of Interests.

Any default or “event of default” by the Debtors or Affiliates with respect to any Claim or Interest that existed immediately before or on account of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases shall be deemed cured (and no longer continuing) as of the Effective Date. The Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of the discharge of all Claims and Interests subject to the Effective Date occurring.

B.           Release of Liens.

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 Lien, 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 or department shall constitute good and sufficient evidence of, but shall not be required to effect, the termination of such Liens.

C.           Releases by the Debtors.

Pursuant to section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, for good and valuable consideration, on and after the Effective Date, each Released Party is deemed released and discharged by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and their Estates from any and all Causes of Action, including any derivative claims asserted on behalf of the Debtors, that the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or their Estates would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether individually or collectively) or on behalf of the Holder of any Claim or Interest, or that any Holder of any Claim or Interest could have asserted on behalf of the Debtors, based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the releases set forth in this Article VIII.C (i)  do not release any post-Effective Date obligations of any party or Entity under the Plan, any Restructuring Transaction, or any document, instrument, or agreement (including those set forth in the Plan Supplement) executed to implement the Plan and (ii) do not release any claims related to any act or omission that constitutes fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence, but in all respects such Entities shall be entitled to reasonably rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities pursuant to the Plan.

D.           Releases by Holders of Claims and Interests.

As of the Effective Date, each Releasing Party is deemed to have released and discharged each Debtor, Reorganized Debtor, and Released Party from any and all Causes of Action, including any derivative claims asserted on behalf of the Debtors, that such Entity would have been legally entitled to assert (whether individually or collectively), based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the releases set forth in this Article VIII.D (i)  do not release any post-Effective Date obligations of any party or Entity under the Plan, any Restructuring Transaction, or any document, instrument, or agreement (including those set forth in the Plan Supplement) executed to implement the Plan and (ii) do not release any claims related to any act or omission that constitutes fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence, but in all respects such Entities shall be entitled to reasonably rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities pursuant to the Plan.

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, 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 or for obligations incurred, issued, or required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the Confirmation Order, all Entities that have held, hold, or may hold claims or interests that have been released pursuant to the Plan, shall be discharged pursuant to the Plan, or are subject to exculpation pursuant to the Plan, are permanently enjoined, from and after the Effective Date, from taking any of the following actions against, as applicable, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Released Parties: (i) 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; (ii) 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; (iii) creating, perfecting, or enforcing any lien or 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; (iv) 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 Entity has timely asserted such setoff right in a document Filed with the Bankruptcy Court explicitly preserving such setoff, and notwithstanding an indication of a claim or interest or otherwise that such Entity asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of setoff pursuant to applicable law or otherwise; and (v) 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.

J.            Reimbursement or Contribution.

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.

K.           Substantive Consolidation.

In connection with Confirmation of the Plan, the Debtors reserve the right to assert (subject to the consent of the Required Consenting Term Loan Lenders) that the Plan substantively consolidates the Estates of the United States Debtors into a single consolidated estate for all purposes associated with Confirmation and Consummation of the Plan.

L.            Reservation of Rights by the SEC.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, no provision of this Plan or the Confirmation Order (i) releases any non-Debtor Person or Entity (including any non-Debtor Released Party) from any Claim or Cause of Action of the SEC or (ii) enjoins, limits, impairs, or delays the SEC from commencing or continuing any Claims, Causes of Action, proceedings, or investigations against any non-Debtor Person or Entity (including any non-Debtor Released Party) in any forum.

Subject to Article IX.A hereof and notwithstanding Bankruptcy Rules 3020(e), 6004(h), or 7062 or otherwise, upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, the terms of the Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Plan Supplement) shall be immediately effective and enforceable and deemed binding upon the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and any and all Holders of Claims or Interests (irrespective of whether such Claims or Interests are deemed to have accepted the Plan), all Entities that are parties to or are subject to the settlements, compromises, releases, discharges, and injunctions described in the Plan, each Entity acquiring property under the Plan, and any and all non-Debtor parties to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases with the Debtors.

B.            Additional Documents.

On or before the Effective Date, and consistent in all respects with the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Debtors may File with the Bankruptcy Court such agreements and other documents as may be necessary to effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Restructuring Support Agreement. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and all Holders of Claims or Interests receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan and all other parties in interest shall, from time to time, prepare, execute, and deliver any agreements or documents and take any other actions as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions and intent of the Plan.

C.           Payment of Statutory Fees.

All fees payable pursuant to section 1930(a) of the Judicial Code, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court at a hearing pursuant to section 1128 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be paid by each of the Reorganized Debtors (or the Disbursing Agent on behalf of each of the Reorganized Debtors) for each quarter (including any fraction thereof) until the Chapter 11 Cases are converted, dismissed, or closed, whichever occurs first.

D.           Statutory Committee and Cessation of Fee and Expense Payment.

On the Effective Date, any statutory committee appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases shall dissolve and members thereof shall be released and discharged from all rights and duties from or related to the Chapter 11 Cases. The Reorganized Debtors shall no longer be responsible for paying any fees or expenses incurred by the members of or advisors to any statutory committees after the Effective Date; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall pay any Allowed fees and expenses incurred by the Creditors’ Committee’s Professionals in preparing and prosecuting their final application for approval of Professional Fee Claims in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article II.B.1 as soon as reasonably practicable after such fees and expenses are Allowed.

E.           Trustee Fees.

On the Effective Date, and 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 Trustee Fees in Cash; provided that the Trustee shall provide the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, the Ad Hoc Group, and the Creditors Committee (each a “Trustee Fee Notice Party,” and collectively, the “Trustee Fee Notice Parties”) with an estimate of the Trustee Fees at least ten (10) Business Days before the anticipated Effective Date and shall provide the Trustee Fee Notice Parties with final invoices for such Trustee Fees (subject to redaction to preserve attorney-client privilege) on two (2) business days prior to the Effective Date. If a Trustee Fee Notice Party disputes any such invoices, (i) the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors shall pay the undisputed portion of such invoices on the Effective Date, (ii) the applicable Trustee Fee Notice Party shall notify the Trustee of any disputed portion of the invoices, and (iii) the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors shall escrow the amount of any disputed portion of such invoices pending resolution by the Bankruptcy Court or by mediation. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein affects the rights of the Trustee to exercise its charging lien pursuant to the terms of the Unsecured Notes Indenture, and the Liquidating Trust shall assist the Trustee in effectuating such charging lien if exercised. To the extent the Trustee provides services or incurs costs or expenses, including professional fees, related to or in connection with the Plan, the Confirmation Order, the Liquidating Trust or the Unsecured Notes Indenture on and after the Effective Date, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive from the Reorganized Debtors, without further Bankruptcy Court approval, reasonable compensation for such services and reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such services. The payment of such compensation and expenses will be made promptly or as otherwise agreed to by the Trustee and the Reorganized Debtors. For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors’ rejection of the Trustee’s fee schedule pursuant to Article V of the Plan shall in no way modify or limit the Trustee’s rights to payment of the Trustee Fees hereunder.

F.           Reservation of Rights.

Except as expressly set forth in the Plan, the Plan shall have no force or effect unless the Bankruptcy Court shall enter the Confirmation Order, and the Confirmation Order shall have no force or effect if the Effective Date does not occur. None of the Filing of the Plan, any statement or provision contained in the Plan, or the taking of any action by any Debtor with respect to the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or the Plan Supplement shall be or shall be deemed to be an admission or waiver of any rights of any Debtor with respect to the Holders of Claims or Interests prior to the Effective Date.

To the extent any exhibit or document is inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the non-exhibit or non-document portion of the Plan shall control.

L.            Nonseverability of Plan Provisions.

If, prior to Confirmation, any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court shall have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, but only so as to be consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, and such term or provision shall then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated by such holding, alteration, or interpretation; provided that, any such holding, alteration or interpretation shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Debtors, the ABL Agent, the DIP ABL Agent and the Required Consenting Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, solely to the extent the provisions therein affect the legal and/or economic rights of the ABL Agent and the DIP ABL Agent, as applicable. The Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is: (1) valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms; (2) integral to the Plan and may not be deleted or modified without the Debtors’ consent, provided, that any such deletion or modification must be consistent with the Restructuring Support Agreement; and (3) nonseverable and mutually dependent.
