As of the Effective Date, the term of the current members of the board of directors, members or managers of each of the Debtors shall expire automatically, and the New Boards and the officers of each of the Reorganized Debtors shall be appointed in accordance with this Plan, the New Organizational Documents, and other constituent documents of each Reorganized Debtor. To the extent known, the initial New Parent Board shall be disclosed in the Plan Supplement.

Pursuant to section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors will, to the extent known, disclose in advance of the Confirmation Hearing the identity and affiliations of any Person proposed to serve on the initial New Boards, as well as those Persons that will serve as an officer of New Parent or any of the Reorganized Debtors. To the extent any such director, member, manager or officer is an Insider, the nature of any compensation to be paid to such director, member, manager or officer will also be disclosed. Each such director, member, manager and officer shall serve from and after the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of the New Organizational Documents and other constituent documents of New Parent and each of the other Reorganized Debtors.

J.	Rights Offering

The Rights Offering shall be conducted by the Debtors and consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Rights Offering Procedures, the Backstop Agreement, and the Plan. To facilitate the Rights Offering, the First Lien Exit Facility Commitment Parties have, severally but not jointly, agreed to backstop the Rights Offering, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Backstop Agreement. The First Lien Exit Facility Commitment Parties’ obligation to consummate their backstop commitments shall be contingent upon all conditions set forth in the Backstop Agreement being satisfied or otherwise waived in accordance with the Backstop Agreement. Confirmation shall constitute Court approval of the Rights Offering (including the transactions contemplated thereby, and all actions to be undertaken, undertakings to be made, and obligations to be incurred by the Reorganized Debtors in connection therewith).

In consideration for their commitments under the Backstop Agreement, the First Lien Exit Facility Commitment Parties shall each receive their Pro Rata share (measured by reference to the aggregate commitments of the First Lien Exit Facility Commitment Parties) of the First Lien Exit Facility Put Option Premium in accordance with the Backstop Agreement. The First Lien Exit Facility Commitment Parties’ commitments under the Backstop Agreement shall be treated as a put option, and the First Lien Exit Facility Put Option Premium shall be treated as remuneration for agreeing to enter into such put option, in each case for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes. Upon the Effective Date, the First Lien Exit Facility Put Option Premium shall be immediately and automatically payable and issued.

After the Petition Date, (a) each Eligible Holder of a Credit Agreement Claim shall receive rights to subscribe for its Pro Rata (measured by reference to the aggregate amount of Allowed Credit Agreement Claims) share of 78% of the term loans under the First Lien Exit Facility and of the New First Lien Exit Facility Equity; (b) each Eligible Holder of a Term Loan Claim shall receive rights to subscribe for its Pro Rata (measured by reference to the aggregate amount of Allowed Term Loan Claims) share of 12.5% of the term loans under the First Lien Exit Facility and of the New First Lien Exit Facility Equity; and (c) each Eligible Holder of a Convertible Notes Claim shall receive rights to subscribe for its Pro Rata (measured by reference to the aggregate amount of Allowed Convertible Notes Claims) share of 9.5% of the term loans under the First Lien Exit Facility and of the New First Lien Exit Facility Equity. On the Effective Date, the Debtors shall consummate the Rights Offering.

K.	Effectuating Documents; Further Transactions

On and after the Effective Date, New Parent and each of the other Reorganized Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors’ officers, and the members of the New Boards are authorized to and may issue, execute, deliver, file, or record such contracts, Securities, instruments, releases, and other agreements or documents and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement, and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Securities issued pursuant to the Plan, including the New Equity, in the name of and on behalf of New Parent or the other Reorganized Debtors, without the need for any approvals, authorization, or consents except those expressly required pursuant to the Plan and the Restructuring Support Agreement.

L.	Exemption from Certain Taxes and Fees

Pursuant to, and to the fullest extent permitted by, section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any issuance, transfer, or exchange of a Security (including, without limitation, of the New Equity) or transfer

of property, in each case, pursuant to, in contemplation of, or in connection with, 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, sale or use tax, mortgage recording tax, or other similar tax or governmental assessment, and upon entry of the Confirmation Order, the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents shall forgo the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and accept for filing and recordation any instruments of transfer or other relevant documents without the payment of any such tax, recordation fee, or governmental assessment.

M.	Preservation of Causes of Action

In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, but subject in all respects 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 Plan Supplement, and such rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date. The Reorganized Debtors may pursue such Causes of Action, as appropriate, in accordance with the best interests of the Reorganized Debtors. A schedule of the Causes of Action known by the Debtors to be retained by the Reorganized Debtors will be included as part of the Plan Supplement. No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure Statement to any Causes of Action against it as any indication that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors 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. Unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or a Court order, including, without limitation, pursuant to Article VIII hereof, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, expressly reserve all Causes of Action for later adjudication, and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise), or laches, shall apply to such Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or Consummation. For the avoidance of doubt, in no instance will any Cause of Action preserved pursuant to this Article IV.M include any claim or Cause of Action with respect to, or against, a Released Party that is released pursuant to Article VIII.E or VIII.F or exculpated pursuant to Article VIII.G.

In accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise provided herein, any Causes of Action that a Debtor may hold against any Entity shall vest in the applicable Reorganized Debtor. The applicable Reorganized Debtors, through their authorized agents or representatives, shall retain and may exclusively enforce any and all such Causes of Action. The Reorganized Debtors shall have the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to determine and to initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any such Causes of Action, and to decline to do any of the foregoing without the consent or approval of any third party or further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Court.

N.	Director and Officer Liability Insurance

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, all of the Debtors’ D&O Liability Insurance Policies are treated as and deemed to be Executory Contracts under the Plan, and effective as of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all D&O Liability Insurance Policies pursuant to section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Court’s approval of the Reorganized Debtors’ assumption of such D&O Liability Insurance Policies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, Confirmation of the Plan shall not discharge, impair, or otherwise modify any Indemnification Obligations, and each Indemnification

Obligation will be deemed and treated as an Executory Contract that has been assumed by the Reorganized Debtors under the Plan as to which no Proof of Claim need be Filed, and shall survive the Effective Date; provided, however, that effective as of the Effective Date, the Debtors shall be deemed to reject any Indemnification Obligations to Entities identified on the Schedule of Non-Released Entities.

O.	Management Incentive Plan

On the Effective Date, the Management Incentive Plan shall become effective and shall be implemented in accordance with the terms set forth in the MIP Term Sheet. All awards issued under the Management Incentive Plan, once converted, will be dilutive of all other New Equity issued pursuant to the Plan.

P.	Employee Benefits

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Plan Supplement, subject to the consent of the Requisite Creditors all written employment, severance, retirement, and other similar employee-related agreements or arrangements in place as of the Effective Date with the Debtors, including any key employee incentive plans and/or key employee retention plans that may be approved by the Court in the Chapter 11 Cases and any items approved as part of the Confirmation Order, retirement income plans and welfare benefit plans, or discretionary bonus plans or variable incentive plans regarding payment of a percentage of annual salary based on performance goals and financial targets for certain employees, may be assumed by the Reorganized Debtors. All such agreements and arrangements that are assumed with the consent of the Requisite Creditors shall remain in place after the Effective Date, as may be amended by agreement between the beneficiaries of such agreements, plans, or arrangements, on the one hand, and the Debtors, with the consent of the Requisite Creditors, on the other hand, or, after the Effective Date, by agreement with the Reorganized Debtors, and the Reorganized Debtors will continue to honor such agreements, arrangements, programs, and plans; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any equity-based compensation, agreement, or arrangement existing as of the Petition Date. All such agreements and arrangements that are not assumed with the consent of the Requisite Creditors on or before the Effective Date shall be deemed rejected by the Debtors. Nothing in the Plan shall limit, diminish, or otherwise alter the Reorganized Debtors’ defenses, claims, Causes of Action, or other rights with respect to any such contracts, agreements, policies, programs, and plans.

Q.	Restructuring Expenses

The outstanding Restructuring Expenses incurred, or estimated to be incurred, up to and including the Effective Date (whether incurred prepetition or postpetition) shall be paid in full in Cash on the Effective Date (to the extent not previously paid during the course of the Chapter 11 Cases, including pursuant to the Cash Collateral Orders or another order of the Court) in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Backstop Agreement, and the Cash Collateral Orders, as applicable, and without the need for any further notice or approval by the Court or otherwise. All Restructuring Expenses to be paid on the Effective Date shall be estimated prior to and as of the Effective Date, and such estimates shall be delivered to the Debtors at least five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated Effective Date (or such shorter period as the Debtors may agree); provided, that such estimate shall not be considered an admission or limitation with respect to such Restructuring Expenses. Promptly following the Effective Date, final invoices for all Restructuring Expenses shall be submitted to the Reorganized Debtors, and either (i) any remaining unpaid Restructuring Expenses shall be paid by the Reorganized Debtors or (ii) the Consenting Creditors shall return any excess fees to the Reorganized Debtors. For the avoidance of doubt, the Restructuring Expenses shall not be paid into the Professional Fee Escrow Account, and shall be payable in full in accordance with this paragraph.

R.	GUC Administrator

The GUC Administrator shall have the power to administer the General Unsecured Claims Distribution and make or authorize distributions to Holders of General Unsecured Claims. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the GUC Administrator shall: (a) hold and administer the Cash that comprises the General Unsecured Claims Distribution; (b) have authority to pay from the General Unsecured Claims Distribution all out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the discharge of its duties under the Plan; (c) have the power and authority to retain such attorneys, advisors, other professionals and employees as may be appropriate to perform the duties required of the GUC Administrator in the Plan and in the GUC Administrator Agreement; (d) make distributions to Holders of General Unsecured Claims as provided in the Plan and in the GUC Administrator Agreement; and (e) provide periodic reports and updates to the Reorganized Debtors regarding the status of the administration of the General Unsecured Claims as may be reasonably required. The Reorganized Debtors shall cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner and in good faith with the GUC Administrator to assure that the GUC Administrator has reasonable access to the Reorganized Debtors’ books and records in possession of the Reorganized Debtors in connection with its duty to object to and resolve General Unsecured Claims.

Prior to the Effective Date, an amount of Cash from the General Unsecured Claims Distribution determined by the Debtors and the Creditors’ Committee in consultation with the Requisite Creditors sufficient to perform the functions of the GUC Administrator in connection with its responsibilities, including fees for its counsel, shall be placed into a segregated account. Any excess amount remaining in the account in connection with the closing of the Chapter 11 Cases will be treated as distributable Cash to Holders of General Unsecured Claims.

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, all Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases will be deemed assumed and assigned to the Reorganized Debtors or their designated assignee in accordance with the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, regardless of whether such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is set forth on the Schedule of Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, other than (in each case with the consent of the Requisite Creditors): (1) those that are identified on the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; (2) those that have been previously rejected by a Final Order; (3) those that are the subject of a motion to reject Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that is pending on the Effective Date; or (4) those that are subject to a motion to reject an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to which the requested effective date of such rejection is after the Effective Date.

Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Court’s order approving the assumptions, assumptions and assignments, or rejections, as applicable, of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases as set forth in the Plan or in the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases and the Schedule of Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Unless otherwise indicated, 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 or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan but not assigned to a third party before the Effective Date shall re-vest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as such terms may have been modified by the provisions of the Plan or any order of the Court. Any motions to assume Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases pending on the Effective Date shall be subject to approval by the Court on or after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding

anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Debtors, with the consent of the Requisite Creditors, reserve the right to alter, amend, modify, or supplement the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases at any time prior to the Effective Date on no less than three (3) days’ notice to the applicable non-Debtor counterparties.

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

Counterparties to Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases listed on the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases shall be promptly served with a notice of rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. Proofs of Claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, if any, must be Filed with the Court within the earliest to occur of (1) thirty (30) days after the date of entry of an order of the Court (including the Confirmation Order) approving such rejection or (2) thirty (30) days after notice of any rejection that occurs after the Effective Date. Any Claims arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that are not Filed within such time will be automatically Disallowed, forever barred from assertion, and shall not be enforceable against, as applicable, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Estates, or property of the foregoing parties, without the need for any objection by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors or further notice to, or action, order, or approval of the 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, notwithstanding anything in the Schedules or any Proof of Claim to the contrary. Claims arising from the rejection of the Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases shall be classified as General Unsecured Claims and shall be treated in accordance with Article III.B.7 of the Plan.

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

At least fourteen (14) days before the Confirmation Hearing, in consultation with the Consenting Creditors, the Debtors shall distribute, or cause to be distributed, Cure Notices of proposed assumption or assumption and assignment and proposed amounts of Cure Claims to the applicable counterparties and the Requisite Creditors. Any objection by a counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to the proposed assumption or assumption and assignment or related Cure Claim must be Filed, served and actually received by the Debtors and the Requisite Creditors at least seven (7) days before the Confirmation Hearing. In the event that, in consultation with the Consenting Creditors, any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is removed from the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases after such time as the Cure Notices referred to above have been distributed, a separate Cure Notice of proposed assumption or assumption and assignment and the proposed amount of the Cure Claim with respect to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease will be sent promptly to the counterparty thereof and a hearing will be set to consider whether such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease can be assumed or assumed and assigned.

Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption or assumption and assignment or the proposed Cure Claim will be deemed to have assented to such assumption or assumption and assignment and the Cure Claim. Payment in Cash, on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, to such counterparty of the amount set forth on the applicable Cure Notice shall, as a matter of law, satisfy any and all monetary defaults under the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. 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 or assumption and assignment, such dispute shall be resolved by a Final Order of the Court.

In any case, if the Court determines that the Allowed Cure Claim with respect to any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is greater than the amount set forth in the applicable Cure Notice, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, with the consent of the Requisite Creditors, will have the right to add such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, in which case such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease will be deemed rejected as of the Effective Date. After such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is added to the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, the applicable counterparty shall be served with a notice of rejection of its Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.

Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Claims or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time before the date that the Debtors assume such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. Any Proofs of Claim Filed with respect to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that has been assumed shall be deemed Disallowed and expunged, without further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Court.

D.	Insurance Policies

Without limiting Article IV.N, all of the Debtors’ insurance policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto, are treated as and deemed to be Executory Contracts under the Plan. On the Effective Date, the Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all insurance policies and any agreements, documents, and instruments related thereto.

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 Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases related thereto, if any, including easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated under the Plan.

Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases, shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.

F.	Reservation of Rights

Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease on the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, nor anything contained in the Plan, 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 Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption or rejection, the Debtors, or, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors, in each case with the consent of the Requisite Creditors, shall have thirty (30) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter the treatment of such contract or lease.

G.	Nonoccurrence of Effective Date

In the event that the Effective Date does not occur, the Court shall retain jurisdiction with respect to any request to extend the deadline for assuming or rejecting Unexpired Leases pursuant to section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

H.	Contracts and Leases Entered into After the Petition Date

Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor will be performed by the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor liable thereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Accordingly, such contracts and leases that have not been rejected as of the date of Confirmation 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, on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (or, if a Claim is not an Allowed Claim on the Effective Date, on the date that such Claim becomes Allowed or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter), each Holder of an Allowed Claim (or such Holder’s affiliate), including any portion of a Claim that is an Allowed Claim notwithstanding that other portions of such Claim are a Disputed Claim, shall receive the full amount of the distributions that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims in each 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 of the Plan. 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.	Delivery of Distributions and Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions

Delivery of Distributions

Distribution Record Date

As of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the various transfer registers and loan registers for each of the Classes of Claims and Interests maintained by the Debtors, the Prepetition Credit Agreement Agent and the Prepetition Term Loan Agent, or their respective agents, shall be deemed closed, and the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Disbursing Agent, the Prepetition Credit Agreement Agent, the Prepetition Term Loan Agent, and the GUC Administrator, as applicable, shall not be required to make any further changes in the record Holders of any of the Claims and Interests. The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Disbursing Agent, the Prepetition Credit Agreement Agent, the Prepetition Term Loan Agent, and the GUC Administrator, as applicable, shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of the Claims or Interests occurring on or after the Distribution Record Date, provided that subject to the requirements included in the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Rights Offering Procedures, any Holder of a Credit Agreement Claim, a Term Loan Claim, or a Convertible Notes Claim may designate a Designated Affiliate to receive the distributions to be provided for hereunder to such Holder on account of such Claim so long as notice thereof is provided to the Disbursing Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Effective Date.

Delivery of Distributions in General

Except as otherwise provided herein, distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be made to the Holders of record as of the Distribution Record Date by the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent for all Claims other than General Unsecured Claims, and by the GUC Administrator for General Unsecured Claims, as follows: (1) to the signatory at the address set forth on the last Proof of Claim Filed by such Holder or other representative identified therein (or at the last known addresses of such Holder if the Debtors have been notified in writing of a change of address); (2) at the address set forth in any written notice of address changes delivered to the Reorganized Debtors after the Effective Date; (3) at the address reflected in the Schedules if no Proof of Claim has been Filed and the Reorganized Debtors have not received a written notice of a change of address; or (4) to any counsel that has appeared in the Chapter 11 Cases on the Holder’s behalf. Subject to this Article VI, distributions under the Plan on account of Allowed Claims shall not be subject to levy, garnishment, attachment, or like legal process, so that each Holder of an Allowed Claim shall have and receive the benefit of the distributions in the manner set forth in the Plan. The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and the Prepetition Trustee shall not incur any liability whatsoever on account of any distributions under the Plan except for gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Delivery of Distributions to Prepetition Credit Agreement Lenders

Any and all distributions to Holders of Credit Agreement Claims as of the Distribution Record Date shall be governed by the Prepetition Credit Agreement. The Prepetition Credit Agreement Agent shall cooperate with the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors (including the Disbursing Agent), at the sole expense of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, to enable the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (through the Disbursing Agent) to make such distributions, including providing, within three (3) Business Days following the Distribution Record Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (including the Disbursing Agent) with a list of all Holders of Credit Agreement Claims as of the Distribution Record Date, including the address at which each such Holder is authorized to receive its distribution under the Plan and the amount of Credit Agreement Claims held by each such Holder, provided that subject to the requirements included in the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Rights Offering Procedures, any Holder of a Credit Agreement Claim may designate a Designated Affiliate to receive the distributions to be provided for hereunder to such Holder on account of such Claim so long as notice thereof is provided to the Disbursing Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Effective Date.

Delivery of Distributions to Prepetition Term Loan Lenders

Any and all distributions to Holders of Term Loan Claims as of the Distribution Record Date shall be governed by the Prepetition Term Loan Agreement. The Prepetition Term Loan Agent shall cooperate with the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors (including the Disbursing Agent) to enable the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (through the Disbursing Agent) to make such distributions directly to such Holders, including providing, within three (3) Business Days following the Distribution Record Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (including the Disbursing Agent) with a list of all Holders of Term Loan Claims as of the Distribution Record Date, including the address at which each such Holder is authorized to receive its distribution under the Plan and the principal amount of Term Loan Claims held by each such Holder (and the Prepetition Term Loan Agent is hereby authorized to provide such information to the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent), provided that subject to the requirements included in the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Rights Offering Procedures, any Holder of a Term Loan Claim may designate a Designated Affiliate to receive the distributions to be provided for hereunder to such Holder on account of such Claim so long as notice thereof is provided to

the Disbursing Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Effective Date. The Prepetition Term Loan Agent shall not be required to act as Disbursing Agent with respect to any distributions of New Equity, rights under the Rights Offering, loans under the First Lien Exit Facility, or any other distributions under the Plan and shall have no responsibility or liability for such distributions.

Delivery of Distributions to Prepetition Convertible Noteholders

Any and all distributions to the Holders of the Convertible Notes Claims as of the Distribution Record Date shall be governed by the Prepetition Indenture. The Prepetition Trustee shall cooperate with the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors to enable the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (through the Disbursing Agent) to make such distributions, including providing, within three (3) Business Days following the Distribution Record Date, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors with a list of all Holders of Convertible Notes Claims as of the Distribution Record Date and the amount of the Convertible Notes Claims held by each such Holder, provided subject to the requirements included in the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Rights Offering Procedures, that any Holder of a Convertible Notes Claim may designate a Designated Affiliate to receive the distributions to be provided for hereunder to such Holder on account of such Claim so long as notice thereof is provided to the Disbursing Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Effective Date.

Minimum Distributions

No fractional shares of New Equity shall be distributed, and no Cash shall be distributed in lieu of such fractional shares of New Equity. When any distribution pursuant to the Plan on account of an Allowed Claim would otherwise result in a fractional share of New Equity, the actual issuance shall reflect a rounding as follows: (a) fractions of one-half or greater shall be rounded to the next higher whole number, and (b) fractions of less than one-half shall be rounded to the next lower whole number with no further payment therefor. The total number of authorized shares of New Equity to be distributed pursuant to the Plan shall be adjusted as necessary to account for the foregoing rounding.

Holders of Allowed Claims entitled to distributions of $50.00 or less shall not receive distributions, and each Claim to which this limitation applies shall be discharged pursuant to Article VIII and its Holder shall be forever barred pursuant to Article VIII from asserting that Claim against the Reorganized Debtors or their property.

Undeliverable Distributions and Unclaimed Property

In the event that any distribution to any Holder is returned as undeliverable, no distribution to such Holder shall be made unless and until the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (including the Disbursing Agent), as applicable, or the GUC Administrator solely with respect to General Unsecured Claims, shall have determined the then-current address of such Holder, at which time such distribution shall be made to such Holder without interest; provided that such distributions shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code at the expiration of one year from the Effective Date. After such date, all unclaimed property or interests in property shall be property of the Reorganized Debtors or distributed to Holders of General Unsecured Claims if part of the General Unsecured Claims Distribution without need for a further order by the Court (notwithstanding any applicable federal, provincial, or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws to the contrary), and the Claim of any Holder to such property or Interest in property shall be discharged and forever barred.

C.	Securities Registration Exemption

All shares of New Equity issued under the Plan will be issued to the fullest extent permitted by section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code without registration under the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. Subject to any restrictions in the New Organizational Documents, these Securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act or other federal securities laws pursuant to the exemption provided by section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act, subject to certain exceptions if the Holder is an “underwriter” with respect to such Securities, as such term is defined in section 1145(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, Securities that are exempt pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code generally may be resold without registration under state securities laws pursuant to various exemptions provided by the respective laws of the several states. The New Equity underlying the Management Incentive Plan, the New Equity issued pursuant to the Rights Offering and the New Equity issued pursuant to the First Lien Exit Facility Put Option Premium will be issued pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act and other applicable law. The New Equity underlying the Management Incentive Plan will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder and/or Rule 701 of the Securities Act, and will be “restricted securities” subject to resale restrictions under applicable securities laws, and may not be resold, exchanged, assigned or otherwise transferred except pursuant to registration, or an applicable exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and other applicable law, subject to any restrictions in the New Organizational Documents. The New Equity issued pursuant to the Rights Offering and the New Equity issued pursuant to the First Lien Exit Facility Put Option Premium will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder and will be “restricted securities” subject to resale restrictions under applicable securities laws, and may not be resold, exchanged, assigned or otherwise transferred except pursuant to registration, or an applicable exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and other applicable law, subject to any restrictions in the New Organizational Documents. Any Persons receiving “restricted securities” under the Plan should consult with their own counsel concerning the availability of an exemption from registration for resale of these securities under the Securities Act and other applicable law.

Should the Reorganized Debtors elect on or after the Effective Date to reflect any ownership of the New Equity through the facilities of DTC, and presuming DTC agrees to such request, the Reorganized Debtors need not provide any further evidence other than the Plan or the Confirmation Order with respect to the treatment of the New Equity under applicable securities laws.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no entity (including, for the avoidance of doubt, DTC) may require a legal opinion regarding the validity of any transaction contemplated by the Plan, including, for the avoidance of doubt, whether the New Equity issued under the Plan is exempt from registration and/or eligible for book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services.

D.	Compliance with Tax Requirements

In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes, withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such distributions, or establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable and appropriate. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and other spousal awards, liens, and encumbrances.

E.	Allocations

A Holder’s Pro Rata share of consideration distributed under the Plan (Cash or value) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be allocated for income tax purposes to the principal amount of the Allowed Claim first and then, to the extent that the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Allowed Claim, to the portion of such Allowed Claim representing accrued but unpaid interest.

F.	No Postpetition Interest on Claims

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in an order of the Court, the Plan, or the Confirmation Order, or required by applicable bankruptcy law, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims or Interests and no Holder of a Claim or Interest shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any such Claim.

G.	Setoffs and Recoupment

The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may, but shall not be required to, set off against, or recoup from, any Claim against a Debtor of any nature whatsoever that the applicable Debtor may have against the claimant, but neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim against a Debtor hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the applicable Debtor of any such Claim it may have against the Holder of such Allowed Claim.

ARTICLE VII.

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CONTINGENT,

UNLIQUIDATED, AND DISPUTED CLAIMS

A.	Allowance of Claims

On or after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors and the GUC Administrator (solely with respect to General Unsecured Claims) shall have any and all rights and defenses the Debtors had with respect to any Claim immediately prior to the Effective Date. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or in any order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases before the Effective Date (including the Confirmation Order), no Claim shall become an Allowed Claim unless and until such Claim is deemed Allowed under the Plan or the Bankruptcy Code, or the Court has entered a Final Order, including the Confirmation Order (when it becomes a Final Order), in the Chapter 11 Cases allowing such Claim.

B.	Claims and Interests Administration Responsibilities

Reorganized Debtors

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan and notwithstanding any requirements that may be imposed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors, by order of the Court, shall have the sole authority: (1) to File, withdraw, or litigate to judgment objections to Claims (other than General Unsecured Claims); (2) to settle or compromise any Disputed Claim (other than General Unsecured Claims) without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Court; and (3) to administer and adjust the Claims Register (except with respect to General Unsecured Claims) to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Court.

GUC Administrator

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan and notwithstanding any requirements that may be imposed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, after the Effective Date, the GUC Administrator, by order of the Court, shall have the sole authority: (1) to File, withdraw, or litigate to judgment objections to General Unsecured Claims; (2) to settle or compromise any Disputed Claim that is a General Unsecured Claim without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Court; and (3) to administer and adjust the Claims Register (solely with respect to General Unsecured Claims) to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Court.

C.	Estimation of Claims

Before or after the Effective Date, and in consultation with the Consenting Creditors, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, or the GUC Administrator (solely with respect to General Unsecured Claims), may (but are not required to) at any time request that the Court estimate any Disputed Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim, and the Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any such Claim, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or during any appeal relating to such objection. In the event that the Court estimates any Disputed Claim, that estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim for all purposes under the Plan (including for purposes of distributions), and the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the GUC Administrator, as applicable, may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such 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 twenty-one (21) days after the date on which such Claim is estimated. All of the aforementioned 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 Court.

D.	Adjustment to Claims Without Objection

Any Claim that has been paid or satisfied, or any Claim that has been amended or superseded, may be adjusted or expunged on the Claims Register without a Claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Court.

E.	Disputed Claims Reserve

On or prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, or the GUC Administrator (solely with respect to General Unsecured Claims), shall be authorized, in consultation with the Consenting Creditors and the Creditors’ Committee, to establish one or more Disputed Claims Reserves, which Disputed Claims Reserve(s) shall be administered by the Reorganized Debtors or the GUC Administrator, as applicable.

Reorganized Debtors

The Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent may, in their sole discretion, hold Cash in a Disputed Claims Reserve in trust for the benefit of the Holders of Claims (other than General Unsecured

Claims) ultimately determined to be Allowed after the Effective Date. The Reorganized Debtors shall distribute such amounts (net of any expenses, including any taxes relating thereto), as provided herein, as such Disputed Claims are resolved by a Final Order or agreed to by settlement, and such amounts will be distributable on account of such Disputed Claims as such amounts would have been distributable had such Disputed Claims been Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date.

GUC Administrator

The GUC Administrator may, in its sole discretion, hold Cash in a Disputed Claims Reserve from the General Unsecured Claims Distribution in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of General Unsecured Claims ultimately determined to be Allowed after the Effective Date. The GUC Administrator shall distribute such amounts (net of any expenses, including any taxes relating thereto), as provided herein, as such Disputed Claims are resolved by a Final Order or agreed to by settlement, and such amounts will be distributable on account of such Disputed Claims as such amounts would have been distributable had such Disputed Claims been Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date.

F.	Time to File Objections to Claims

Subject to Article VII.B. above, any objections to Claims, which, prior to the Effective Date, may be Filed by any party, shall be Filed on or before the Claims Objection Deadline.

G.	Disallowance of Claims

Any Claims held by Entities from which property is recoverable under section 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that is a transferee of a transfer avoidable under section 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be deemed Disallowed pursuant to section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and Holders of such Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such Claims, until such time as such Causes of Action against that Entity have been settled or a Court order with respect thereto has been entered and all sums due, if any, to the Debtors by that Entity have been turned over or paid to the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the GUC Administrator, as applicable.

Except as provided herein (including with respect to any counterparties to rejected Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases who are required to File Proofs of Claim after the rejection of their contracts or leases), any and all Proofs of Claim or requests for payment of Administrative Claims, as applicable, Filed after the applicable Claims Bar Date, Administrative Claims Bar Date, Governmental Bar Date, and applicable deadline for Filing Proofs of Claim based on the Debtors’ rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, as applicable, shall be deemed Disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Court, and Holders of such Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such Claims, unless on or before the Confirmation Hearing such late Filed Claim has been deemed timely Filed by a Final Order.

H.	Amendments to Claims

After the Claims Bar Date, except as provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, a Claim may not be Filed or amended without the prior authorization of the Court and any such new or amended Claim Filed shall be deemed Disallowed in full and expunged without any further action, order, or approval of the Court.

I.	No Distributions Pending Allowance

No payment or distribution provided under the Plan shall be made to the extent that any Claim is a Disputed Claim, including if an objection to a Claim or portion thereof is Filed as set forth in Article VII, unless and until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim; provided that any portion of a Claim that is an Allowed Claim shall receive the payment or distribution provided under the Plan thereon notwithstanding that any other portion of such Claim is a Disputed Claim.

J.	Distributions After Allowance

To the extent that a Disputed Claim ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim, distributions (if any) shall be made to the Holder of such Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date that the order or judgment of the Court allowing any Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order, the distribution (if any) to which such Holder is entitled under the Plan as of the Effective Date, without any interest, dividends, or accruals shall be paid to the Holder of such Allowed Claim on account of such Allowed Claim unless required under applicable bankruptcy law or as otherwise provided in herein.

As discussed in detail in the Disclosure Statement and as otherwise provided herein, pursuant to sections 363 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided pursuant to the Plan, which distributions and other benefits shall be irrevocable and not subject to challenge upon the Effective Date, the provisions of the Plan, and the distributions and other benefits provided hereunder, shall constitute a good-faith compromise and settlement of all issues in respect of the Chapter 11 Cases (collectively, the “Settled Issues”), including, without limitation:

1. the valuation of the Reorganized Debtors’ enterprise, including the value of any unencumbered assets;

The Plan shall be deemed a motion to approve the good-faith compromise and settlement of all such Claims, Interests, and controversies pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and the entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Court’s approval of the compromise and settlement of all such Claims, Interests, and controversies, as well as a finding by the Court that all such compromises and settlements are in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, and Holders of Claims and Interests and are fair, equitable, and reasonable. In accordance with the provisions of the Plan, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Court, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may compromise and settle Claims against, and Interests in, the Debtors and their Estates and Causes of Action against other Entities.

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.

C.	Term of Injunctions or Stays

Unless otherwise provided herein or in a Final Order, all injunctions or stays arising under or entered during the Chapter 11 Cases under section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise and in existence on the Confirmation Date, shall remain in full force and effect until the later of the Effective Date and the date set forth in the order providing for such injunction or stay.

E.	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, their Estates, and the Reorganized Debtors from any and all Claims, Causes of Action, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, losses, or liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereinafter arising, in law, equity, or otherwise, that such Entity would have been legally entitled to assert (whether individually or collectively), including any derivative claims, asserted on behalf of the Debtors, that the Debtors, their Estates or Affiliates, or the Reorganized Debtors or their Affiliates, 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 other Entity, based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Debtors (including the management, ownership or operation thereof), the Debtors’ in- or out-of-court restructuring efforts, the Debtors’ intercompany transactions (including dividends paid), transactions pursuant and/or related to the Prepetition Credit Agreement, Prepetition Term Loan Documents, the Prepetition Indenture, the Prepetition Convertible Notes, the Cash Collateral Orders (and any payments or transfers in connection therewith), any Avoidance Actions, the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any Security of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Interest that is treated in this Plan, the business or contractual arrangements between any Debtor and any Released Party, the formulation, preparation, dissemination, negotiation, or Filing of the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Restructuring Support Agreement, the restructuring of any Claim or Interest before or during the Chapter 11 Cases, or any Restructuring Transaction, contract, instrument, document, release, or other agreement or document (including any legal opinion regarding any such transaction, contract, instrument, document, release, or other agreement or the reliance by any Released Party on the Plan or the Confirmation Order in lieu of such legal opinion) created or entered into in connection with the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the related agreements, instruments, and other documents (including the Definitive Documentation), the Chapter 11 Cases, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the pursuit of Confirmation, the pursuit of Consummation, the solicitation of votes with respect to this Plan, the administration and implementation of the Plan, including the issuance or distribution of Securities or other property pursuant to the Plan, the Definitive Documentation, or upon any other act or omission, transaction, agreement, event, or other occurrence taking place on or before the Effective Date related or relating to the foregoing.

Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Court’s approval, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, of the releases by Holders of Claims and Interests set forth in this Article VIII.F, which includes by reference each of the related provisions and definitions contained herein, and, further, shall constitute the Court’s finding that such releases are: (1) in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Released Parties; (2) a good faith settlement and compromise of the claims released by such releases; (3) in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates; (4) fair, equitable and reasonable; (5) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; (6) an essential component of the Plan and the Restructuring Transactions; and (7) a bar to any of the Releasing Parties asserting any claim or cause of action released pursuant to such releases.

The Exculpated Parties (to the extent applicable) 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.

H.	Injunction

Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or for obligations issued or required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or Confirmation Order, all Entities who have held, hold, or may hold Claims or Interests that have been released pursuant to Article VIII.E or Article VIII.F of the Plan, discharged pursuant to Article VIII.B of the Plan, or are subject to exculpation pursuant to Article VIII.G of 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, the Released Parties, or the Exculpated Parties: (a) 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; (b) 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; (c) 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; (d) 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; and (e) 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the injunction does not enjoin any party under the Plan or under any document, instrument, or agreement (including those attached to the Disclosure Statement or set forth in the Plan Supplement, to the extent finalized) executed to implement the Plan from bringing an action to enforce the terms of the Plan or such document, instrument, or agreement (including those attached to the Disclosure Statement or set forth in the Plan Supplement, to the extent finalized) executed to implement the Plan.

I.	Protection Against Discriminatory Treatment

Consistent with section 525 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, all Entities, including Governmental Units, shall not discriminate against the Reorganized Debtors or deny, revoke, suspend, or refuse to renew a license, permit, charter, franchise, or other similar grant to, condition such a grant to, or discriminate with respect to such a grant against, the Reorganized Debtors, or another Entity with whom the Reorganized Debtors have been associated, solely because each Debtor has been a debtor under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, has been insolvent before the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases (or during the Chapter 11 Cases but before the Debtors are granted or denied a discharge), or has not paid a debt that is dischargeable in the Chapter 11 Cases.

J.	Recoupment

In no event shall any Holder of an Allowed Claim be entitled to recoup 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 on or before the Confirmation Date, notwithstanding any indication in any Proof of Claim or otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of recoupment.

K.	Subordination Rights

Any distributions under the Plan shall be received and retained free from any obligations to hold or transfer the same to any other Holder and shall not be subject to levy, garnishment, attachment, or other legal process by any Holder by reason of claimed contractual subordination rights. Any such subordination rights shall be waived, and the Confirmation Order shall constitute an injunction enjoining any Entity from enforcing or attempting to enforce any contractual, legal, or equitable subordination rights to property distributed under the Plan, in each case other than as provided in the Plan.

L.	Reimbursement or Contribution

If the 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 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.
