D. Classification and Treatment of Unsecured Claims (Classes 9, 10, 11, & 12).

 

1. Class 9 (11 1/4% Notes—Impaired).

 

Classification: Class 9 consists of the 11 1/4% Notes.

 

Treatment: All Class 9 Claims shall be satisfied by the distribution as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, but in no event later than 10 days after the Effective Date, to the Indenture Trustee, who shall act as the Disbursing Agent for Class 9 and shall distribute to the holders of the 11 1/4% Notes, as of the Record Date, Pro Rata:

 

a. The Initial Cash Payment;

 

b. The Noteholders’ Stock Distribution; and

 

c. The New Public Notes.

 

Upon completion of all of its obligations as the Class 9 Disbursing Agent under the Plan, the Indenture Trustee shall be irrevocably released from all of its obligations under that certain indenture dated April 16, 1998 between the Indenture Trustee and Fountain View, Inc. On the Effective Date, such indenture shall be deemed terminated, and the liens granted to secure the obligations under such indenture shall be deemed to be discharged.

 

The Confirmation Order shall provide that each record holder of Noteholders’ Stock shall be entitled to all the rights and shall be subject to all the obligations otherwise applicable under the Stockholders’ Agreement to “Qualified Stockholders” as such term is defined therein. Fractional shares of New Class A Common Stock will not be issued. Holders of Class 9 Allowed Claims entitled to a fractional share distribution of New Class A Common Stock out of the Noteholders’ Stock Distribution equal to or greater than one-half of a share of New Class A Common Stock shall receive one whole share of New Class A Common Stock. No distribution shall be made on account of fractional entitlements of less than one-half of a share of New Class A Common Stock.

 

The New Public Notes shall be issued pursuant to a qualified trust indenture, in the form submitted by the Debtors in the Plan Supplement, in an aggregate principal amount equal to (i) $133,012,500, plus (ii) postpetition interest on $133,012,500 from the Petition

 

32


Date to the Effective Date of the Plan at the rate of 9 1/2% per annum, less (iii) the Initial Cash Payment. The Debtors will use reasonable best efforts to have the New Public Notes rated by Standard & Poors Corp. and Moody’s Investors Service as soon as reasonably practicable, but, in any event, within three months of the Effective Date. The indenture governing the New Public Notes shall include provisions incorporating the following terms and conditions:

 

Maturity Date: A maturity date one Business Day after the date on which the final principal payment on the Exit Facility is due, but in no event beyond the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date.

 

Lien: A junior lien to secure the New Public Notes in (i) the Debtors’ real property leases, and (ii) the Business Assets of the Reorganized Enterprise’s pharmacy and therapy businesses, in all cases limited to the extent required by the Exit Facility, such liens to be expressly subordinate to the Exit Facility, subject to any prior valid and enforceable liens in such assets including those liens securing the Bergen Note and of equal rank with the liens securing the Class 10 Deferred Obligation, the Continuing Creditor Deferred Obligation, and the Vendors’ Lien; provided, however, that the New Public Notes shall contain “basket” and release provisions2 in connection with such liens as may be customary in high-yield public trust indentures and to be negotiated in good faith and reasonably acceptable to the Debtors and the Noteholders’ Committee.

 

Covenants: The indenture shall contain such covenants as are customary in high-yield public trust indentures and agreed upon in good faith by the Debtors and the Noteholders’ Committee; provided, however, that the indenture will contain: (i) limitations on restricted payments (including a prohibition on dividends and distributions to shareholders, management fees (other than reimbursement of actual out of pocket expenses and, to the extent consistent with past practice, allocated expenses, which have historically averaged approximately $200,000 per year), stock repurchases, non-mandatory payments on

 


2   “Basket and release provisions” permit limited substitution of collateral and sales free and clear of liens with respect to property pledged as a pool to support a secured obligation. Such provisions are customary in secured public trust indentures given the difficulty of obtaining transaction specific lien releases from the dispersed holders of public debt.

 

33


account of debt subordinated to the New Public Notes, and investments other than investments permitted by the terms of the indenture governing the New Public Notes); and (ii) restrictive covenants regarding (a) debt incurrence (subject to tests and exceptions contained in the indenture), and (b) use of asset sale proceeds; provided, further, however, that any covenants in the indenture may be waived, amended, or modified with the consent of the holders of 60% in interest of the New Public Notes. So long as any New Public Notes remain outstanding, Reorganized Fountain View will furnish to the indenture trustee for distribution to the holders of the New Public Notes, and file with the SEC (unless such filing will not be accepted) and otherwise make such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request, within the time periods specified by the rules and regulations of the SEC (whether or not Reorganized Fountain View is required by such rules or regulations to do so): (i) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if Reorganized Fountain View were required to file such forms, including a Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and, with respect to the annual financial information only, a report on the annual financial statements by an independent certified public accounting firm; and (ii) all current reports that would be required to be filed on Form 8-K if Reorganized Fountain View were required to file such reports. So long as any New Public Notes remain outstanding, Reorganized Fountain View shall comply with section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act and shall furnish the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144(d)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933 upon the request of any holder of the New Public Notes, securities analysts, or prospective investors.

 

Interest: Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears, at the rate of 9 1/4% per annum until the first anniversary of the Effective Date, 11 1/4% per annum between the first and second anniversaries of the Effective Date, 13 1/4% per annum between the second and third anniversaries of the Effective Date, and 15% per annum thereafter until maturity.

34


Mandatory Prepayment: To the extent permitted by the Exit Facility, Reorganized Fountain View shall prepay the New Public Notes in an amount equal to 80% of Excess Cash Flow.

 

2. Class 10 (General Unsecured Claims—Impaired).

 

Classification: Class 10 consists of all Unsecured Claims other than (i) Claims in Classes 9, 11, 12, and 13, and (ii) Claims held by one of the Debtors extinguished pursuant to Section IV.A of the Plan. Claims that would otherwise be Class 10 Claims will be classified and treated as Class 11 Claims, if the holder makes the Convenience Class Election; provided, however, that any holder that makes the Convenience Class Election but holds aggregate Allowed Class 10 Claims in excess of $1,250 will be classified and treated in Class 10 under payment option 10A as voting to accept the Plan and will receive cash equal to 80% of such holder’s Allowed Claims without postpetition interest.

 

Treatment: Holders of Class 10 Claims must elect in writing payment option 10A or 10B on or before the last date fixed by the Court for the timely submission of Ballots; provided, however, that a holder of a Disputed Claim in Class 10 must make its election before the later of the deadline to submit Ballots and 14 days after the date upon which its Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. Holders who fail to make a timely and valid election in writing shall be afforded treatment under payment option 10B. The Disbursing Agent will make distributions to the holder of each Class 10 Allowed Claim, in accordance with such holder’s applicable payment option on the latest of (i) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date; (ii) 30 days after the date on which the Claim becomes an Allowed Claim; or (iii) the date such Claim becomes due and payable in accordance with its terms.

 

Payment Option 10A is cash equal to 80% of the Allowed Claim without postpetition interest.

 

Payment Option 10B is:

 

(i) for all holders other than Continuing Creditors,

 

(a) cash equal to the sum of:

 

(y) 40% of the Allowed Claim, and

 

35


(z) postpetition interest calculated at the rate of 9½% per annum on the full amount of the Allowed Claim from the Petition Date through the date of payment (provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein no prejudgment interest shall accrue or be paid with respect to any unliquidated Class 10 Claim prior to its liquidation except as provided by otherwise applicable non-bankruptcy law); and

 

(b) a Class 10 Deferred Obligation in a principal amount equal to 60% of the Allowed Claim; or

 

(ii) for Continuing Creditors,

 

(a) cash equal to the sum of:

 

(y) 65% of the Allowed Claim, and

 

(z) postpetition interest calculated at the rate of 9½% per annum on the full amount of the Allowed Claim from the Petition Date through the date of payment; and

 

(b) a Continuing Creditor Deferred Obligation in a principal amount equal to 35% of the Allowed Claim.

 

The Class 10 Deferred Obligation and the Continuing Creditor Deferred Obligation will be obligations of Reorganized Fountain View guaranteed by Reorganized Summit Care Pharmacy, the Other Reorganized Debtors, and the Post-Effective Date Subsidiaries (except for any special purposes entities formed for insurance coverage purposes) to the extent permitted by the Exit Facility. The Class 10 Deferred Obligation and the Continuing Creditor Deferred Obligation will bear interest payable in arrears from and after the date of the initial cash payment under payment option 10B in respect of such Class 10 Claim at the rate of 9½% per annum; provided, however, that after maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) interest shall accrue at the rate of 11½% per annum. The Class 10 Deferred Obligation will be payable in five semiannual installments each of which shall consist of principal installments equal to one-fifth its original principal amount together with accrued interest on the remaining unpaid principal balance and the Continuing Creditor

 

36


Obligation will be payable in three semiannual installments each of which shall consist of principal installments equal to one-third its original principal amount together with accrued interest on the remaining unpaid principal balance, such installments to commence on the first Business Day that is at least 180 days after the Effective Date; provided, however, that, should the Noteholder Prepayment Percentage exceed 50%, Reorganized Fountain View shall prepay the Class 10 Deferred Obligation and the Continuing Creditor Deferred Obligation Pro Rata (to be credited against scheduled amortization payments relating to such Class 10 Deferred Obligation or Continuing Creditor Deferred Obligation in reverse order of maturity) in an amount equal to the initial amount of such Class 10 Deferred Obligation or the Continuing Creditor Deferred Obligation multiplied by the Noteholder Prepayment Percentage less all prior principal payments on account of such Class 10 Deferred Obligation or Continuing Creditor Deferred Obligation. The Class 10 Deferred Obligation and the Continuing Creditor Deferred Obligation will be secured by liens (which shall be expressly subordinated to those securing the Exit Facility on terms reasonably acceptable to the Exit Facility lenders as well as any prior perfected and valid liens retained under the Plan) against (a) the Debtors’ real property leases, and (b) the Business Assets of the Reorganized Enterprise’s pharmacy and therapy businesses, such liens to be of equal rank and otherwise subject to the same limitations as the liens securing the New Public Notes and the Vendors’ Lien. The lien securing the Class 10 Deferred Obligation and the Continuing Creditor Deferred Obligation shall be subject to the same “basket” and release provisions as the lien securing the New Public Notes.3 The lien securing the Class 10 Deferred Obligation and the Continuing Creditor Deferred Obligation shall be administered by the Claims Agent under a collateral trust agreement or similar agreement, which agreement (together with such ancillary documents as may be reasonably necessary to implement its terms) shall be in the form submitted by the Debtors in the Plan Supplement and shall provide for acceleration of

 


3   “Basket and release provisions” permit limited substitution of collateral and sales free and clear of liens with respect to property pledged as a pool to support a secured obligation. Such provisions are customary in secured public trust indentures given the difficulty of obtaining transaction specific lien releases from the dispersed holders of public debt.

 

37


the Class 10 Deferred Obligation and the Continuing Creditor Deferred Obligation and enforcement of the lien by the Claims Agent in the event of (i) a payment default on the Class 10 Deferred Obligation and Continuing Creditor Deferred Obligation (in either case, following five business days written notice and failure to cure); (ii) upon the acceleration or any exercise of remedies by any party of the New Public Notes, the Exit Facility, or any comparable obligation following a default under such agreement; (iii) or the filing of a bankruptcy case by Reorganized Fountain View.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any mandatory prepayment under the Noteholder Prepayment Percentage shall be calculated in accordance with the following:

 

Example 1: Class 10 Deferred Obligation:

 

Assume the Noteholder Prepayment Percentage is 60% on the date eight months following the Effective Date and the regularly scheduled amortization payment in an amount equal to 20% of the initial amount of the Class 10 Deferred Obligation has been made, such that its principal amount has been reduced from $1500 to $1200. A mandatory prepayment would then be due in the amount of $600 in order to further reduce the then outstanding principal balance to $600. This mandatory prepayment would be credited against the final two amortization payments. Assuming no further increase in the Noteholder Prepayment Percentage, the regularly scheduled amortization payment on the first anniversary of the Effective Date would, therefore, remain $300, and the third regularly scheduled amortization payment due one year after the first Business Day following 180 days after the Effective Date would extinguish the Class 10 Deferred Obligation.

 

Example 2: Continuing Creditor Deferred Obligation:

 

Assume the Noteholder Prepayment Percentage is 60% on the date eight months following the Effective Date and the regularly scheduled amortization payment in an amount equal to 33.33% of the initial amount of the Continuing Creditor Deferred Obligation has been made, such that its initial principal amount has been reduced from $1500 to $1000. A mandatory prepayment would then be due in the amount of $400 in order to further reduce the then outstanding principal balance to $600. This mandatory prepayment would be

 

38


credited against the final amortization payment. Assuming no further increase in the Noteholder Prepayment Percentage, the regularly scheduled amortization payment on the first anniversary of the Effective Date would, therefore, remain $500, and upon final maturity the then remaining balance of $100 would be due.

 

3. Class 11 (Convenience Claims—Unimpaired).

 

Classification: Class 11 consists of Convenience Claims.

 

Treatment: The legal, equitable and contractual rights of the holders of Class 11 Claim are unaltered under the Plan. The Disbursing Agent will distribute to holders of Class 11 Allowed Claims cash equal to the allowed amount of the Convenience Claim plus interest calculated at 2.49%4 per annum from the Petition Date through the date of payment on the latest of (i) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date; (ii) 30 days after the date on which the Convenience Claim becomes an Allowed Claim; or (iii) the date such Convenience Claim becomes due and payable in accordance with its terms.

 

Holders of Class 10 Claims validly making the Convenience Class Election will be treated as follows: (i) if the aggregate amount of their Allowed Class 10 Claims is equal to or less than $1,250, they will be treated in Class 11, deemed to accept the Plan, and will receive $1,000 in full and final satisfaction of all of their Allowed Class 10 Claims; or (ii) if the aggregate amount of their Allowed Class 10 Claims is in excess of $1,250, they will be treated in Class 10 under payment option 10A, deemed to accept the Plan, and will receive cash equal to 80% of such holder’s Allowed Class 10 Claims without postpetition interest.

 

4. Class 12 (Insured Professional Liability Claims—Impaired).

 

Classification: Class 12 consists of Claims that are insured pursuant to the Debtors’ Prepetition Professional Liability Policies.

 

Treatment: Upon the later of (i) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, and (ii) 30 days after the date upon which the Class 12 Claim (as liquidated

39


through settlements, the ADR Procedures, Article IV.H of the Plan to the extent permitted by applicable law, or litigation) becomes an Allowed Claim, the applicable Class 12 Allowed Claim will be paid in full in cash exclusively from the applicable Prepetition Professional Liability Policy, except to the extent of any unexhausted self-insured retention thereunder. The uninsured portion of any Class 12 Allowed Claim, if any, shall, to that extent, be reclassified as a Class 10 Allowed Claim; provided, however, that the uninsured punitive damages portion of any Class 12 Allowed Claim shall be reclassified as a Class 13 Allowed Claim. The 14 day period to elect between payment option 10A or 10B under Class 10 treatment shall commence on the date the uninsured portion of any Class 12 Allowed Claim is reclassified as a Class 10 Claim.

 

5. Class 13 (Other Subordinated Claims—Impaired).

 

Classification: Class 13 consists of Other Subordinated Claims.

 

Treatment: When and if any Class 13 Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, the holder thereof will receive a promissory note in the form set forth in the Plan Supplement in the principal amount of such holder’s Allowed Claim issued by Reorganized Fountain View. The promissory note will accrue interest from the date the Class 13 Claim becomes an Allowed Claim at the current federal judgment rate in effect on the date the Class 13 Claim becomes an Allowed Claim and shall be subordinated in right of payment to the New Public Notes, the Vendors’ Lien, and the liens securing the Continuing Creditor Deferred Obligation and the Class 10 Deferred Obligation and the Exit Facility and mature on the eleventh anniversary of the Effective Date.

The Schedule of Assumed or Assigned Agreements also identifies any amounts that the Debtors believe Bankruptcy Code sections 365(b)(1)(A) or (B) require be paid in order to cure defaults under the executory contracts and unexpired leases to be assumed or assigned under the Plan. The Debtors will file an amended Schedule of Assumed or Assigned Agreements not later than 20 days before the Confirmation Hearing Date, setting forth any cure amounts under the executory contracts and unexpired leases to be assumed or assigned under Section III.A.1, above. The Debtors reserve the right to further amend the Schedule of Assumed or Assigned Agreements, including modifying the cure amounts, up to the Confirmation Date. There are no cure payments to be made with respect to the Resident Agreements.

 

As required by Code section 365(b)(1), any and all monetary defaults under each executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed or assigned under this Plan will be satisfied in one of the following three ways: (i) the Disbursing Agent will pay to the non-debtor party to the executory contract or unexpired lease the Cure Payments, as set forth on the Schedule of Assumed or Assigned Agreements (as it may be amended), in cash within 10

 

44


days after the Effective Date; (ii) the Disbursing Agent will satisfy any other terms that are agreed to by both the Debtors and the non-debtor party to an executory contract or unexpired lease that will be assumed or assigned, including, with respect to the applicable Medicare provider agreements, the terms of the CMS Stipulation and the TDHS Settlement; or (iii) if a dispute arises regarding (a) the amount of any proposed Cure Payments, (b) whether the Debtors have provided adequate assurance of future performance under an executory contract or unexpired lease to be assumed or assigned, or (c) any other matter pertaining to a proposed assumption or assignment, the proposed Cure Payments will be made within 30 days after entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption or assignment.

 

3. Objections to Assumption or Assignment or Proposed Cure Payments.

 

Any party to an executory contract or unexpired lease that will be assumed or assigned under the Plan who either contends that the proposed Cure Payment specified on the Schedule of Assumed or Assigned Agreements is incorrect or otherwise objects to the contemplated assumption or assignment must File with the Court and serve upon the Debtors, Debtors’ Counsel, and counsel to the Committees, a written statement and supporting declaration stating the basis for its objection. This statement and declaration must be Filed and served by the later of: (i) twenty (20) days before the Confirmation Hearing Date; or (ii) with respect to objections relating to an executory contract or unexpired lease added to the Schedule of Assumed or Assigned Agreements by an amendment, or with respect to any changed cure amount, ten (10) days after the Debtors file and serve any amendments to the Schedule of Assumed or Assigned Agreements Any entity that fails to timely File and serve such a statement and declaration will be deemed to waive any and all objections to the proposed assumption or assignment and the proposed Cure Payments.

 

4. Liens with Respect to Assumed Contracts and Leases Pursuant to the Exit Facility and Plan.

 

As of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Enterprise is authorized to grant

 

45


liens to secure the Exit Facility, the New Public Notes, the Class 10 Deferred Obligation, the Continuing Creditor Deferred Obligation, and the Vendors’ Lien, in accordance with the terms of the Exit Facility Closing Documents, the indenture pursuant to which the New Public Notes are to be issued, and the agreement between the Claims Agent and Reorganized Fountain View, in the Debtors’ interests in all unexpired real property leases (and, as applicable, executory contracts) included on the Schedule of Assumed or Assigned Agreements, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in otherwise applicable law or in any such lease. The Debtors and the Reorganized Enterprise are authorized to execute such documents and memoranda and record such instruments as may be appropriate to perfect such liens under otherwise applicable law.

 

B. Rejection of Contracts and Leases.

 

1. Schedule of Rejected Agreements.

 

On the Effective Date, the Debtors will reject all executory contracts and unexpired leases on the Schedule of Rejected Agreements—except for any agreements that were previously assumed or rejected by Final Order or under Bankruptcy Code section 365 or that will be assumed under Section III.A of the Plan—but only to the extent that these agreements constitute executory contracts or unexpired leases under Bankruptcy Code section 365. (Listing an agreement on the Schedule of Rejected Agreements is not an admission that the agreement is an executory contract or unexpired lease or that the Debtors have any liability under the agreement.)

 

The Debtors reserve the right to amend the Schedule of Rejected Agreements at any time before the Confirmation Date to: (i) delete any executory contract or unexpired lease and provide for its assumption or assignment under Section III.A, above; or (ii) add any executory contract or unexpired lease and provide for its rejection under this Section III.B. The Debtors will provide notice of any amendment to the Schedule of Rejected Agreements to the party or parties to the executory contracts or unexpired leases affected by the amendment and counsel to the Committees.

 

The Confirmation Order will constitute a Court order approving the rejection,

 

46


on the Effective Date, of any and all of the agreements that the Debtors executed before the Petition Date—except for any agreements that were previously assumed or rejected either by a Final Order or under Bankruptcy Code section 365 or that will be assumed under Section III.A—including without limitation the executory contracts or unexpired leases identified on the Schedule of Rejected Agreements.

 

2. Bar Date for Rejection Damage Claims.

 

Any Rejection Damage Claim or other Claim for damages arising from the rejection under the Plan of an executory contract or unexpired lease must be filed with the Court and served upon the Debtors’ Counsel and the Reorganized Enterprise within 30 days after the mailing of notice of entry of the Confirmation Order at which time the holder of the Claim may elect between payment option 10A or 10B, if applicable, by delivering to the Debtors’ counsel and the Reorganized Enterprise a written notice of election of option 10A or 10B. Holders of Class 10 Claims failing to make a timely election between payment option 10A or 10B shall be deemed to elect payment option 10B. Any such damage Claims that are not timely Filed and served will be forever barred and unenforceable against the Debtors, the Estates, the Reorganized Enterprise, and their respective property; and Entities holding these Claims will be barred from receiving any distributions under the Plan on account of their Rejection Damage Claims or other damage Claims. Nothing herein extends the bar date applicable to any contract or lease rejected otherwise than under the Plan or for any Claim other than one arising directly as a result of the rejection of a contract or lease under the Plan.

 

C. Postpetition Contracts and Leases.

 

Except as expressly provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, each contract, lease, or other agreement that any of the Debtors entered into after the Petition Date will either revest in Reorganized Fountain View, Reorganized Summit Care Pharmacy or the Other Reorganized Debtors, or be assigned to a Post-Effective Date Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of the Corporate Restructuring Closing Documents. These agreements will then become obligations solely of the entities so designated in the Corporate Restructuring

 

47


Closing Documents and will remain in full force and effect after the Confirmation Date and the Effective Date. The CMS Stipulation and the TDHS Settlement will be binding on the Reorganized Enterprise in accordance with their terms notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in the Plan.

 

IV.

 

MEANS OF EXECUTION AND IMPLEMENTATION

OF THE PLAN AND OTHER PROVISIONS

 

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Fountain View, Inc., and, after the Effective Date, Reorganized Fountain View, shall serve as the duly authorized agent of the Debtors, the Estates, and the Reorganized Enterprise for the purposes of performing and consummating the Plan pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code.

 

A. Substantive Consolidation.

 

As of the Effective Date, solely for the purposes of the Plan, the assets, claims, and affairs of the Debtors and the Estates shall be substantively consolidated pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 105(a). As a result of the substantive consolidation, on the Effective Date, all property, rights, and claims of the Debtors and the Estates, and all Claims against the Debtors and the Estates shall be deemed pooled for purposes of allowance, treatment, and distributions under the Plan and multiple proofs of Claim on account of any Claim upon which any of the Debtors are co-obligors or guarantors or otherwise may be contingently liable shall without necessity of objection by any party be deemed to constitute a single proof of Claim entitled to a single satisfaction from the substantively consolidated Estates in accordance with the terms of the Plan; the duplicative Claims being otherwise deemed disallowed. Further, as a result of this substantive consolidation, all Claims between and among the Debtors and the Estates shall be cancelled without being entitled to any distribution under the Plan.

 

B. Corporate Restructuring Plan.

 

On the Effective Date, the Debtors will consummate the transactions contemplated in the Corporate Restructuring Plan. Upon consummation of the Corporate

 

48


Restructuring Plan, all of the Business Assets, free and clear of all liens, Claims, encumbrances, and Interests, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, shall be held by Reorganized Summit Care Pharmacy, the Other Reorganized Debtors, and the Post-Effective Date Subsidiaries in accordance with the Corporate Restructuring Plan. Reorganized Fountain View will own directly or indirectly 100% of the equity interests in Reorganized Summit Care Pharmacy, the Other Reorganized Debtors, and the Post-Effective Date Subsidiaries. The Debtors (other than Fountain View, Inc., Summit Care Pharmacy, Inc., and the Other Reorganized Debtors) will, following consummation of the Corporate Restructuring Plan, cease their independent existence through dissolution or merger.

 

C. Exit Facility.

 

On the Effective Date, the Debtors will consummate the transactions contemplated in the Exit Facility Commitment Letters. The Disbursing Agent shall use the proceeds of the Exit Facility together with the Bank Midwest Advance and the Debtors’ cash and cash equivalents on hand to fund payments under the Plan as follows:

 

    Payments in satisfaction of Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Claims, and Allowed Priority Tax Claims and any required cure payments with respect to unimpaired Claims;

 

    Payments in satisfaction of Allowed Claims in Classes 3, 5, 7, 8, and 11;

 

    Payments in partial satisfaction of Allowed Claims in Class 6;

 

    Payments in satisfaction of Allowed Claims in Class 10 electing payment option 10A;

 

    Payments in partial satisfaction of Allowed Claims in Class 10 electing (or deemed to elect) payment option 10B;

 

    Payment of the Initial Cash Payment in partial satisfaction of Allowed Claims in Class 9; and

 

    Retention of sufficient funds to meet the Reorganized Enterprise’s working capital needs after the Effective Date.

 

The closings of the Exit Facility and the Corporate Restructuring Plan are

 

49


integral and necessary conditions and terms of the Plan.

 

D. Amendment to Articles of Incorporation.

 

Reorganized Fountain View’s articles of incorporation will be amended in the form provided in the Plan Supplement to eliminate Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock and prohibit the issuance of nonvoting equity securities. Reorganized Summit Care Pharmacy’s and the Other Reorganized Debtors’ articles of incorporation will be amended in the form Filed with the Plan Supplement to, inter alia, prohibit the issuance of nonvoting equity securities.

 

E. The Claims Agent.

 

1. Designation of the Claims Agent.

 

The Claims Agent shall be designated by the Creditors’ Committee with the prior consent of the Debtors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the General Claim Holder Agency Agreement submitted by the Debtors in the Plan Supplement. The General Claim Holder Agency Agreement shall provide that financial and business information concerning Reorganized Fountain View provided to the indenture trustee for the New Public Notes that is not otherwise publicly available shall be concurrently provided to the Claims Agent so long as any Class 10 Deferred Obligation remains outstanding.

 

2. Powers and Duties.

 

The Claims Agent shall have the following rights, powers and duties under the General Claim Holder Agency Agreement pursuant to which it serves:

 

  a.   The Claims Agent may employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Debtors. The reasonable costs, fees, and expenses of counsel for the Claims Agent shall be paid by Reorganized Fountain View;

 

  b.   The Claims Agent may exercise rights and remedies in accordance with the terms of the General Claim Holder Agency Agreement upon (i) default by Reorganized Fountain View in the

 

50


payment of the Class 10 Deferred Obligation, the Continuing Creditor Deferred Obligation or the obligations secured by the Vendors’ Lien (in any case, following five (5) business days written notice and failure to cure); (ii) acceleration or any exercise of remedies by any party under the Exit Facility, the New Public Notes, or any comparable obligation following a default under such agreement; or (iii) the filing of a bankruptcy case by Reorganized Fountain View; and

 

  c.   The Claims Agent may file suit or any appropriate motion for relief in the Court or in any other court of competent jurisdiction to exercise his rights, powers, or duties, or to receive compensation or its counsel’s compensation under the General Claim Holder Agency Agreement.

 

All functions and procedures applicable to the Claims Agent and the power and duties of the Claims Agent not expressly set forth in the Plan shall be governed by the provisions of the General Claim Holder Agency Agreement.

 

F. Revesting of Assets.

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Corporate Restructuring Closing Documents, the Exit Facility Closing Documents, or in any other agreements contemplated under the Plan, on the Effective Date, all property of the Estates shall vest in the Reorganized Enterprise, free and clear of all Claims, liens, encumbrances, and other Interests. From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Enterprise may operate the businesses and use, acquire, and dispose of property without supervision by the Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules, other than those restrictions expressly imposed by the Plan and the Confirmation Order.

 

G. Preservation of Causes of Action.

 

Except as expressly released pursuant to the Plan, pursuant to section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Enterprise shall be vested with and shall retain and

 

51


may enforce any claims, rights, and causes of action that the Debtors or the Estates may hold or have against any entity, including without limitation, the Avoidance Actions.

 

Any such rights shall be retained by the Reorganized Enterprise free and clear of all Claims and Interests, and the Reorganized Enterprise may pursue the Avoidance Actions or any other such claims, rights, and causes of action that Debtors or the Estates may hold or have against any entity, in accordance with its best interests.

 

H. Objections to Claims and Interests.

 

Except as otherwise provided in Section II.B, above (regarding allowance of Administrative Claims), objections to any Claims or Interests shall be filed and served upon the holder of such Claim or Interest no later than the date that is the later of (i) nine months after the Effective Date, unless extended by the Court; or (ii) nine months after the date on which a proof of Claim or Interest has been filed, unless extended by the Court. After the Effective Date, only the Reorganized Enterprise shall have the authority to file, settle, compromise, withdraw, or litigate to judgment objections to Claims and Interests. The Reorganized Enterprise may file, settle, compromise, withdraw, or litigate to judgment such objections without further order of the Court.

 

Holders of debts that arise prior to the Confirmation Date involving personal injury or wrongful death shall be enjoined by the injunction established by the Confirmation Order from commencing or continuing any action to collect such Claim except in conformity with the ADR Procedures applicable after the Effective Date (or, as applicable, the Code’s claim adjudication procedures).

 

In voting on the Plan, creditors may not rely on the absence of an objection to their proofs of Claim as any indication that the Debtors, the Committees or other parties in interest, ultimately will not object to the amount, priority, security or allowability of their Claims. Moreover, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or by written stipulation Filed with the Court, the Debtors reserve, and intend that the Reorganized Enterprise shall prosecute, claims of the Debtors and the Estates (including rights to affirmative recovery, rights to subordinate claims, and rights to avoid transfers). In

 

52


particular, creditors should anticipate that the Reorganized Enterprise may object to any Claim asserted in an amount greater than the amount set forth in the Schedules. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, with respect to Class 10 Claims and Class 11 Claims, the Debtors and the Reorganized Enterprise may only object to a Claim if it is (i) listed on Exhibit 8 (Schedule of Disputed Claims) to the Disclosure Statement (as such exhibit may be subsequently amended through the date the Debtors serve the Disclosure Statement upon creditors and interest holders), (ii) not timely Filed, or (iii) duplicative of another Claim that is not objected to.

 

I. Distribution of Property Under the Plan.

 

The following procedures set forth in this Section IV.I shall apply to distributions made pursuant to this Plan by the Disbursing Agent, and, where applicable, any such agents as they may appoint to effectuate such distributions.

 

1. Manner of Cash Payments Under The Plan.

 

Payments to domestic entities holding Allowed Claims will be tendered in U.S. Dollars and will be made by checks drawn on a domestic bank selected by the party making such distribution or, at its option, by wire transfer from a domestic bank. Payments made to foreign creditors holding Allowed Claims may be paid, at the option of the Disbursing Agent, as set forth in the preceding sentence or in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in the particular foreign jurisdiction.

 

2. No De Minimis Distributions.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, no cash payment of less than $25 will be made by the Disbursing Agent to any entity holding an Allowed Claim. No consideration will be provided in lieu of the de minimis distributions that are not made under this Section.

 

3. No Distribution with Respect to Disputed Claims

 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no payments of cash or distributions of other property or other consideration of any kind shall be made on account of any Disputed Claim unless and until such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim or is deemed to

 

53


be such for purposes of distribution, and then only to the extent that the Claim becomes, or is deemed to be for distribution purposes, an Allowed Claim. The presence of a Disputed Claim in any Class will not be a cause to delay distribution to Allowed Claims in that Class or in other Classes. Any holder of a Claim that becomes an Allowed Claim after the Effective Date will receive its distribution (including, as applicable, interest from the Effective Date through the date of payment) within 30 days from the date that such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

 

4. Delivery of Distributions and Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions.

 

a. Delivery of Distributions in General.

 

The Disbursing Agent shall make distributions to each holder of an Allowed Claim as follows: (i) by mail at the addresses set forth on the respective proof of Claim filed by such holder of an Allowed Claim; (ii) by mail at the address set forth in any written notice of address change delivered to the Disbursing Agent after the date of any related proof of Claim; (iii) by mail at the address reflected in the Schedules if no proof of Claim is filed and the Disbursing Agent has not received a written notice of a change of address; (iv) with respect to the holders of Class 8 Allowed Claims to the Agent in such manner as the Agent may reasonably instruct the Disbursing Agent in writing; and (v) with respect to holders of Class 9 Allowed Claims, at the last known address of record holders of such Allowed Claims as of the close of business on the Effective Date, as determined by the Indenture Trustee or applicable transfer agent.

 

As set forth in Section IV.I.1 above, the Disbursing Agent may, at its option make a distribution to a holder of an Allowed Claim by wire transfer pursuant to the wire transfer instructions provided by the holder of such Allowed Claim.

 

b. Delivery of 11 1/4% Noteholder Distributions.

 

As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, but in no event later than 10 days after the Effective Date, Reorganized Fountain View shall make the distributions called for in Part II.D.1 of the Plan on account of the Claims for principal and

 

54


interest arising under the 11 1/4% Notes to the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee will receive such cash and securities for the benefit of the record holders, as of the Record Date, of the Claims for principal and interest arising under the 11 1/4 Notes and will deliver, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, such cash and securities to each record holder, as of the Record Date, of a Claim for principal and interest arising under the 11¼ Notes in accordance with the Indenture, or applicable law, and the Plan. The reasonable fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee for making distributions under the Plan shall be paid by Reorganized Fountain View.

 

As a condition to the receipt of any Pro Rata share of the Noteholders’ Stock Distribution, a holder of a Claim for principal and interest arising under the 11 1/4% Notes shall agree in writing to be bound by the Stockholders’ Agreement. As a further condition to participation under the Plan, a holder of a Claim for principal and interest arising under the 11 1/4% Notes that desires to receive property to be distributed on account of such Claim shall surrender the security representing such Claim to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture, to the extent applicable, or in accordance with such other procedures as shall be established by the Indenture Trustee as may be reasonably acceptable to Reorganized Fountain View. Following confirmation of the Plan, record holders of such securities shall receive specific instructions regarding the time and manner in which the 11 1/4% Notes are to be surrendered, which instructions shall be given by Reorganized Fountain View, the Disbursing Agent, or the Indenture Trustee to such record holders as soon practicable after the Effective Date. Pending such surrender, such securities shall be cancelled and represent only the right to receive the distributions to which the holder is entitled under the Plan.

 

Any Claims for principal and interest arising under the 11 1/4% Notes represented by a security which is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed shall be deemed surrendered when the holder of the Claim based thereon delivers to the Indenture Trustee (i) evidence satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee of the loss, theft, mutilation, or destruction of

 

55


such instrument, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by the Indenture Trustee to hold it harmless with respect thereto.

 

c. Distribution to Interest Holders Under the Plan.

 

As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, Reorganized Fountain View shall make the distributions called for in Part II.E of the Plan on account of the Class 14, Class 15, Class 17, and Class 18 Interests to the record holders of those respective Interests, in accordance with applicable law and the Plan.

 

As a condition to participation under the Plan, a holder of an Interest entitled to distributions of New Class A Common Stock, New Warrants, or New Preferred Stock under the Plan that desires to receive property to be distributed on account of such Interest shall agree in writing to be bound by the Stockholders’ Agreement and shall surrender the security representing such Interest to Reorganized Fountain View or its designee in accordance with procedures as shall be established by Reorganized Fountain View. Record holders of such Interests shall receive specific instructions regarding the time and manner in which the securities representing such Interests are to be surrendered, which instructions shall be given by Reorganized Fountain View to such record holders as soon as practicable after the Effective Date. Pending such surrender, such securities shall be cancelled and represent only the right to receive the distributions to which the holder is entitled under the Plan.

 

Any Interests represented by a security which is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed shall be deemed surrendered when the holder of the Interest based thereon delivers to Reorganized Fountain View (i) evidence satisfactory to Reorganized Fountain View of the loss, theft, mutilation, or destruction of such instrument, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by Reorganized Fountain View to hold it harmless with respect thereto. All equity securities issued under the Plan shall be deemed to be issued subject to the Stockholders’ Agreement notwithstanding the failure of any holder thereof to have agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of the Stockholders’ Agreement and the securities issued shall be legended with a notation to the effect that such securities are issued subject to the terms and restrictions, including restrictions on transfer, set forth in the Stockholders’

 

56


Agreement as well as any restrictions on transfer imposed by applicable securities law.

 

Securities issued in accordance with the Plan will not be registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933. Such securities are issued pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 under Code section 1145.

 

d. Undeliverable and Unclaimed Distributions.

 

If the distribution to the holder of any Allowed Claim is returned to the Disbursing Agent as undeliverable, no further distribution shall be made to such holder unless and until the Disbursing Agent is notified in writing of such holder’s then current address. Subject to the other provisions of the Plan, undeliverable distributions shall remain in the possession of the Disbursing Agent pursuant to this Section until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable. The Disbursing Agent will hold undeliverable cash distributions in an unsegregated, interest-bearing bank account for the benefit of the entities entitled to the distributions. These entities will be entitled to any interest actually earned on account of the undeliverable distributions. The bank account will be maintained in the name of the Disbursing Agent, but it will be accounted for separately.

 

Notwithstanding any otherwise applicable laws regarding unclaimed distributions including the law of escheat, any holder of an Allowed Claim who does not assert a claim in writing for an undeliverable distribution held by the Disbursing Agent within one year after the Effective Date shall no longer have any claim to or interest in such undeliverable distribution, and shall be forever barred from receiving any distributions under this Plan, or from asserting a Claim against the Debtors, the Estates, the Reorganized Enterprise, the Claims Agent, the Indenture Trustee or their respective property, and the Claim giving rise to the undeliverable distribution will be discharged.

 

Any undeliverable distributions that are not claimed under this Section will be retained by or returned to Reorganized Fountain View, free from any restrictions thereon. Nothing contained in the Plan shall require the Debtors, the Estates, the Disbursing Agent, the Reorganized Enterprise, the Claims Agent, or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, to attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed Claim.

 

57


This section V.H.4.d shall not apply to the Class 8 Claims, the distributions on account of which shall be made in their entirety to the Agent upon the Effective Date or the date upon which the Class 8 Claims shall become Allowed Claims.

 

J. Cancellation of Interests.

 

On the Effective Date, all Interests in the Debtors other than Fountain View, Inc., Summit Care Pharmacy, Inc., and the Other Reorganized Debtors will be deemed cancelled or extinguished pursuant to Section IV.A hereof.

 

K. Full Satisfaction.

 

The Disbursing Agent shall make, and each holder of a Claim shall receive, the distributions provided for in the Plan in full satisfaction and discharge of such Claim.

 

L. Compliance With Tax Requirements.

 

The Disbursing Agent shall comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed on it by governmental units, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements, if any.

 

M. Setoff, Recoupment and Other Rights.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, the Reorganized Enterprise may, but shall not be required to, setoff, recoup, assert counterclaims, or withhold against the distributions to be made pursuant to this Plan on account of any Allowed Claim, any claims that the Debtors, the Estates, and the Reorganized Enterprise may have against the entity holding the Allowed Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to effect such a setoff or recoupment, nor the allowance of any Claim against the Debtors, the Estates, and the Reorganized Enterprise, nor any partial or full payment during the Reorganization Cases or after the Effective Date in respect of any Allowed Claim, shall constitute a waiver or release by Debtors, the Estates, and the Reorganized Enterprise of any claim that they may possess against such holder.

 

N. Dissolution of the Debtors other than Fountain View, Inc., Summit Care Pharmacy, Inc., and the Other Reorganized Debtors.

 

As of the Effective Date, the Debtors other than Fountain View, Inc., Summit

 

58


Care Pharmacy, Inc., and the Other Reorganized Debtors (i) will be dissolved or merged; (ii) their assets distributed to the Reorganized Enterprise as provided for in this Plan and the Corporate Restructuring Plan; and (iii) their liabilities will be discharged except as otherwise provided for in this Plan. The Reorganized Enterprise is authorized to file all documents and instruments necessary to effectuate dissolution of any of the Debtors in accordance with otherwise applicable law.

 

O. Conditions to Effectiveness of the Plan.

 

1. Conditions.

 

The Plan shall not become binding unless and until the Effective Date occurs. The Effective Date is the first Business Day that, as determined by Debtors in their reasonable discretion, is a Business Day (i) that is at least eleven days after the Confirmation Date; (ii) on which no stay of the Confirmation Order is in effect; and (iii) on which all of the following conditions have been satisfied or waived by Debtors in writing:

 

a. The Confirmation Order shall be entered in a form reasonably acceptable to the Debtors and the lenders providing the Exit Facility;

 

b. All the conditions to the execution and enforceability of the Exit Facility Closing Documents and the Corporate Restructuring Closing Documents shall have been satisfied or waived and the Exit Facility lenders shall have funded the Exit Facility;

 

c. The Claims Agent shall have been duly appointed and qualified to serve and all the conditions to the execution and enforceability of the General Claim Holder Agency Agreement (which shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Debtors and the Creditors’ Committee) have been satisfied or waived; and

 

d. The indenture trustee for the New Public Notes shall have been duly appointed and qualified to serve under the indenture governing the New Public Notes (which shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Debtors and the Noteholders’ Committee).

 

2. Waiver of Conditions.

 

The requirement that the conditions to the occurrence of the Effective Date, as specified in Section IV.O.1, above, be satisfied may be waived in whole or in part, and the

 

59


time within which any such conditions must be satisfied may be extended, in writing by the Debtors or, in the case of Section IV.O.1.c and IV.O.1.d above, with the consent of the Creditors’ Committee and the Noteholders’ Committee, respectively. To be effective, such written waiver or extension must be filed with the Court. The failure to satisfy or waive any of such conditions may be asserted by the Debtors regardless of the circumstances giving rise to the failure of such condition to be satisfied, including any action or inaction by the Debtors. The failure of the Debtors to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights and each such right shall be deemed ongoing and assertable at any time.

 

V.

 

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

A. Limitations of Liability.

 

1. For Solicitation or Participation.

 

Pursuant to section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, entities that solicit acceptances or rejections of the Plan and/or that participate in the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of securities offered or sold under the Plan, in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, shall not be liable, on account of such solicitation or participation, for violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of securities.

 

2. For Actions in Connection with Plan and Related Matters.

 

To the maximum extent permitted by law, none of the Debtors, the Estates, the Reorganized Enterprise, the Committees, or any of their employees, officers, directors, attorneys, agents, members, or representatives, or professional advisors employed or retained by any of them, whether or not pursuant to a Final Order of the Court, shall have or incur any liability to any entity for any act taken or omission made in good faith in connection with or related to formulating, implementing, or confirming the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created in connection with

 

60


the Plan.

 

3. No Admissions.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, if the Plan is not confirmed or the Effective Date does not occur, the Plan will be null and void, and nothing contained in the Plan or the Disclosure Statement will: (i) be deemed to be an admission by any Debtor with respect to any matter set forth in the Plan, including, without limitation, liability on any Claim or the propriety of any Claim’s classification; (ii) constitute a waiver, acknowledgment, or release of any Claims by or against, or any Interests in, any Debtor; or (iii) prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtors, the Estates, or any creditors in any further proceedings.

 

B. Dissolution of Committees.

 

On the Effective Date, the Committees and any other committee appointed pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1102 shall be released and discharged from the rights and duties arising from or related to the Reorganization Cases, except with respect to final applications for professionals’ compensation and objections thereto.

61


filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without payment of such tax or other governmental assessment.

 

D. Modifications of the Plan.

 

Subject to the conditions and terms of the Exit Facility Closing Documents and restrictions set forth in Code section 1127, the Debtors and Reorganized Fountain View reserve the right to alter, amend, or modify the Plan before its substantial consummation.

 

E. Revocation of the Plan.

 

The Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan prior to the Confirmation Date. If the Plan is not confirmed or the Effective Date does not occur—either because the Debtors revoked or withdrew the Plan or for any other reason—the Plan will be null and void, and nothing contained in the Plan or the Disclosure Statement will: (i) waive or release any Claims by or against, or any Interests in, the Debtors; or (ii) prejudice in any manner any rights that the Debtors, the Estates, or any creditors or equity security holders have in any further proceedings.

 

F. Post-Effective Date Effect of Evidences of Claims or Interests.

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, commencing on the Effective Date, notes, stock certificates, warrants, and other evidences of Claims against, or Interests in, a Debtor will represent only the right to receive the distributions contemplated under the Plan.

 

G. Nonapplicability of Local Rule 3020-1(2).

 

Neither the Debtors nor the Reorganized Enterprise will be required to comply with Local Bankruptcy Rule 3020-1(2), which otherwise requires the filing of certain status reports after the Confirmation Date, or otherwise file reports after the Confirmation Date with the Court, except as expressly provided in the Confirmation Order.

 

H. Successors and Assigns.

 

The rights, benefits, and obligations of any entity named or referred to in this Plan shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of, any heir, executor, administrator, successor, or assign of such entity.

 

62


I. Saturday, Sunday, or Legal Holiday.

 

If any payment or act under the Plan is required to be made or performed on a day that is not a Business Day, then the payment or act may be completed on the next day that is a Business Day, in which event the payment or act will be deemed to have been completed on the required day.

 

J. Governing Law.

 

Unless a rule of law or procedure is supplied by (i) federal law (including the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules), or (ii) an express choice of law provision in any agreement, contract, instrument, or document provided for, or executed in connection with, the Plan, the rights and obligations arising under the Plan and any agreements, contracts, documents, and instruments executed in connection with the Plan shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

 

K. Severability of Plan Provisions.

 

If, before confirmation, the Court holds that any Plan term or provision is invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Court may alter or interpret that term or provision so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent possible consistent with the original purpose of that term or provision. That term or provision will then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the Plan’s remaining terms and provisions will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated. The Confirmation Order will constitute a judicial determination providing that each Plan term and provision, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with this Section, is valid and enforceable under its terms.

 

L. Application of Code Section 1145.

 

The exemption from the requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. § 77e, and any state or local law requiring registration or qualification for the offer or sale of a security, provided under Bankruptcy Code section 1145, shall apply to the securities distributed under the Plan.

VI.

 

EFFECT OF CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN

 

A. Discharge and Injunction.

 

The rights afforded in the Plan and the treatment of all Claims and Interests herein shall be in exchange for and in complete satisfaction, discharge, and release of all Claims and Interests of any nature whatsoever, including any interest accrued on such Claims from and after the Petition Date, against the Debtors, the Reorganized Enterprise, and any of their property; and holders of Claims or Interests are not allowed to enforce their rights with respect to prepetition Claims or Interests outside the terms of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, on the Effective Date: (i) the Debtors, the Estates, the Reorganized Enterprise, and their property shall be deemed discharged and released to the fullest extent permitted by section 1141 of the Code from all Claims and Interests, including, demands, liabilities, Claims, and Interests that arose before the Confirmation Date and all debts of the kind specified in Code sections 502(g), 502(h), or 502(i), regardless of whether or not (a) a proof of Claim or Interest based on such debt or Interest is filed or deemed filed; (b) a Claim or Interest based on such debt or Interest is allowed pursuant to section 502 of the Code; or (c) the holder of a Claim or Interest based on such debt or Interest has or has not accepted the Plan; and (ii) all entities shall be precluded from asserting against the Debtors, the Estates, the Reorganized Enterprise, and their property any other or further Claims or Interests based upon any act or omission, transaction, or other activity of any kind or nature that occurred prior to the Confirmation Date.

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, the Confirmation Order shall act as a discharge of any and all Claims against and all debts and liabilities of the Debtors, as provided in sections 524 and 1141 of the Code, and such discharge shall void any judgment against any of the Debtors obtained at any time to the extent that such judgment is a determination of the personal liability of any of the Debtors.

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, on and after the Effective Date, all entities who have held, currently hold, or may hold a debt,

 

64


Claim, or Interest discharged pursuant to the terms of the Plan are permanently enjoined from taking any of the following actions on account of any such discharged debt, Claim, or Interest: (i) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding against the Debtors, the Estates, the Reorganized Enterprise, or their property in any manner, in any place that does not comply with or is inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, the ADR Procedures, or the Confirmation Order; (ii) enforcing, attaching, collecting, or recovering in any manner any judgment, award, decree, or order against the Debtors, the Estates, the Reorganized Enterprise, or their property; (iii) creating, perfecting, or enforcing any lien or encumbrance against the Debtors, the Estates, the Reorganized Enterprise, or their property to enforce a claim that arose preconfirmation; (iv) terminating or canceling any Resident Agreement on account of its assumption or assignment hereunder; (v) asserting any setoff, right of subrogation, or recoupment of any kind (other than as expressly provided by the Plan with respect to claims of setoff preserved pursuant to section 553 of the Code) against any obligation due to the Debtors, the Estates, the Reorganized Enterprise, or their property; (vi) enforcing any contractual or legal right of subordination inconsistent with the terms of the Plan; and (vii) commencing or continuing any action, in any manner, in any place that does not comply with or is inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, the ADR Procedures, or the Confirmation Order. Any entity injured by any willful violation of such injunction shall recover actual damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, and, in appropriate circumstances, may recover punitive damages, from the willful violator.

 

B. Payment of Statutory Fees.

 

The Disbursing Agent shall pay all fees due under 28 U.S.C. § 1930 in accordance with Section II.B.1 of the Plan.

 

C. Retention of Jurisdiction.

 

Notwithstanding the entry of the Confirmation Order or the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Court shall retain jurisdiction over the Reorganization Cases after the Effective Date to the fullest extent provided by law, including the jurisdiction to:

 

1. Allow, disallow, determine, liquidate, classify, establish the priority or

 

65


secured or unsecured status of, estimate, or limit any Claim, Interest, or Administrative Claim, and with respect to Claims based on personal injury or wrongful death, continue to enforce the ADR Procedures;

 

2. Rule on applications for allowance of compensation or reimbursement of expenses authorized pursuant to the Code or the Plan, for periods ending on or before the Effective Date;

 

3. Resolve any motions pending on the Effective Date to assume, assume and assign, or reject any executory contract or unexpired lease to which any of the Debtors is a party or with respect to which any of the Debtors may be liable and to hear, determine and, if necessary, liquidate, any and all Claims arising therefrom;

 

4. Ensure that distributions to holders of Allowed Claims, Administrative Claims, and Interests are accomplished pursuant to the provisions of the Plan;

 

5. Resolve any and all applications, motions, adversary proceedings, and other matters involving the Debtors that may be pending on the Effective Date or that may be instituted thereafter in accordance with the terms of the Plan;

 

6. Enter such orders as may be necessary or appropriate to implement or consummate the provisions of the Plan and all contracts, instruments, releases, and other agreements or documents entered into in connection with the Plan;

 

7. Resolve any and all controversies, suits, or issues that may arise in connection with the consummation, interpretation, or enforcement of the Plan or any person’s rights or obligations in connection with the Plan;

 

8. Modify the Plan before or after the Effective Date pursuant to Code section 1127, or modify the Disclosure Statement or any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement created in connection with the Plan or Disclosure Statement; or remedy any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistency in any order of the Court, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created in connection with the Plan or Disclosure Statement, in such manner as may be necessary or appropriate to consummate the Plan, to the extent authorized by the Code;

 

66


9. Issue injunctions, enter and implement other orders, or take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate to enforce the Plan or restrain interference by any entity with consummation or enforcement of the Plan;

 

10. Enter and implement such orders as are necessary or appropriate if the Confirmation Order is for any reason modified, stayed, reversed, revoked, or vacated;

 

11. Determine any other matters that may arise in connection with or relate to the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Confirmation Order, the Avoiding Actions or any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created in connection with the Plan, Plan Supplement or the Disclosure Statement or approved by the Court; and

 

12. Enter an order closing the Reorganization Cases.

 

If the Court abstains from exercising jurisdiction or is otherwise without jurisdiction over any matter, this Section shall have no effect upon and shall not control, prohibit, or limit the exercise of jurisdiction by any other court having competent jurisdiction with respect to such matter.

 

67


VII.

 

RECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSION

 

The Debtors believe that Plan confirmation and implementation are preferable to any feasible alternative because the Plan will maximize the value of the Estates. Creditors will receive payment in full of their Allowed Claims and preferred and common shareholders in Classes 14, 15, 17, and 18 will receive equity interests in Reorganized Fountain View in exchange for their Interests.
