Unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or by a Final Order, in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Debtors shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue any and all Causes of Action, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, including any actions specifically enumerated in the Plan Supplement, and the Reorganized Debtors’ rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date.  No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure Statement to any Cause of Action against them as any indication that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against them.  The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan.  Unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or a Bankruptcy Court order, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all Causes of Action, for later adjudication, and, therefore no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel, judicial, equitable, or otherwise, or laches, shall apply to such Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or Consummation.  From and after the Effective Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, 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 Cause of Action and to decline to do any of the foregoing without further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan or any Order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors forever waive, relinquish, and release any and all Causes of Action the Debtors and their estates had, have, or may have that arise under sections 544, 547, 548 and 549 of the Bankruptcy Code against any Entity that is being rendered Unimpaired under the Plan and any Entity, including Professionals, with whom the Debtor is conducting and will continue to conduct business on and after the Effective Date.

 

4.14                        Directors and Officers Insurance Policies

 

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all of their D&O Insurance Policies pursuant to section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code effective as of the Effective Date. Entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Reorganized Debtors’ foregoing assumption of each of the unexpired D&O Insurance Policies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, confirmation of the Plan shall not discharge, impair, or otherwise modify any indemnity obligations assumed by the foregoing assumption of the D&O Insurance Policies, and each such indemnity obligation will be deemed and treated as an Executory Contract that has been assumed by the Debtors under the Plan as to which no Proof of Claim need be filed.  In addition, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall not terminate or otherwise reduce the coverage under any D&O Insurance Policy (including any “tail policy”) in effect on the Petition Date, with respect to conduct occurring prior thereto, and all directors and officers of the Debtors who served in such capacity at any time prior to the Effective Date shall be entitled to the full benefits of any such policy for the full term of such policy regardless of whether such directors and officers remain in such positions after the Effective Date.

 

4.15                        Indemnification Provisions in Organizational Documents

 

On and from the Effective Date, and except as prohibited by applicable non-bankruptcy law, the Reorganized Debtors shall assume or reinstate, as applicable, all indemnification obligations in place as of the Effective Date (whether in by- laws, certificates of incorporation, board resolutions, contracts, or otherwise) for the current and former directors, members, officers, managers, employees, attorneys, other professionals and agents of

 

15


 

the Debtors; provided, however, such indemnification obligations shall not apply with respect to any act or omission constituting gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or criminal conduct as determined by a Final Order entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, except to the extent of available insurance.

 

4.16                        Reinstatement of Equity Interests

 

On the Effective Date, all equity interests in each Debtor, including Intercompany Interests, shall be deemed reinstated without any additional act on the part of such Debtor or such Reorganized Debtor.

 

4.17                        Exemption from Registration Requirements

 

The offering, issuance, and distribution of any Securities, including the Senior Notes and Junior PIK Notes pursuant to the Plan shall be exempt from, among other things, the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, Regulation S of the Securities Act, or any other available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as applicable. To the extent that the issuance of the Senior Notes and the Junior PIK Notes is covered by section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the governing certificates or instruments, the Senior Notes and the Junior PIK Notes issued under the Plan will be freely tradable under the Securities Act by the recipients thereof, subject to: (a) the provisions of section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code relating to the definition of an underwriter in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and compliance with any applicable state or foreign securities laws, if any, and any rules and regulations of the SEC, if any, applicable at the time of any future transfer of such Securities or instruments, including any such restrictions any agreement governing the Senior Notes and the Junior PIK Notes; (b) the restrictions, if any, on the transferability of such securities and instruments; and (c) any other applicable regulatory approval.

5.1                               Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

 

On the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided herein or in any contract, instrument, release, indenture, or other agreement entered into in connection with the Plan, Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases shall be deemed assumed as of the Effective Date, unless such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (1) was assumed or rejected previously by the Debtors, (2) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms; or (3) is the subject of a motion to reject filed on or before the Effective Date, if any.  Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute a Bankruptcy Court order approving the assumption of such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases as set forth in the Plan, pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Unless otherwise indicated, assumptions of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to the Plan are effective as of the Effective Date.  Each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan or by a Bankruptcy Court order shall re-vest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable contracting Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms notwithstanding any provision in such assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that prohibits, restricts or conditions such assumption, assignment or transfer.  Any provision in the assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that purports to declare a breach or default based in whole or in part on the commencement or continuance of these Chapter 11 Cases or any successor cases is hereby deemed unenforceable.

 

5.2                               Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases

 

Claims arising from the rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be classified as a General Unsecured Claim and shall be treated in accordance with Article III, as applicable.

Claims or defaults arising or becoming due under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease after the effective date of assumption of the applicable assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease are to be

 

16


 

paid in full in the ordinary course by the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, subject to the rights of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, to assert or apply, as applicable, any defenses, setoffs, credits, or discounts available under the applicable assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or under applicable non-bankruptcy law, and, for the avoidance of doubt, such Claims or defaults shall not be released, expunged, discharged, or enjoined by the Plan or the Confirmation Order and there shall be no need or requirement for the counterparty to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to file an Administrative Claim for such Claim or default.  Nothing in the Plan releases or discharges the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor from (1) obligations to fully satisfy Cure Claims on the Effective Date, or to the extent a dispute exists regarding the Cure Claim, upon entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute or upon mutual agreement between the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor and the applicable counterparty, or (2) Claims, defaults or obligations arising or becoming due under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease after the effective date of such assumption of the applicable assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the terms thereof.

 

In the event of a dispute regarding (1) the amount of any payment to cure such a default, (2) the ability of the applicable Reorganized Debtor to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed, or (3) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the cure payment, if any, required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order or orders resolving the dispute and approving the assumption.

 

The 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 the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor 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 Bankruptcy Court.

 

5.4                               Insurance Policies

 

All of the Debtors’ insurance policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto, including the D&O Insurance Policies, shall be treated as and deemed to be Executory Contracts under the Plan.  As of the Effective Date, the Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all insurance policies and any agreements, documents, and instruments related thereto.

 

5.5                               Indemnification Provisions

 

As of the Effective Date, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Indemnification Provisions in place on or before the Effective Date for Claims related to or in connection with any actions, omissions, or transactions occurring before the Effective Date.  Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Debtors’ foregoing assumption of each of the Indemnification Provisions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (1) Confirmation shall not discharge, impair, or otherwise modify any obligations assumed by the foregoing assumption of the Indemnification Provisions, (2) each such obligation shall be deemed and treated as an Executory Contract that has been assumed by the Debtors under the Plan and as to which no Proof of Claim need be filed, and (3) as of the Effective Date, the Indemnification Provisions shall be binding and enforceable against the Reorganized Debtors.

 

5.6                               Benefit Programs

 

As of the Effective Date, all employee compensation and benefit programs of the Debtors, including programs subject to section 1114 and 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code, if any, entered into before or after the Petition Date and not since terminated, shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, Executory Contracts that are assumed under the Article VI, but only to the extent that rights under such programs are held by the Debtors or Persons who are employees of the Debtors as of the Confirmation Date; provided, however, that nothing herein shall extend or otherwise modify the duration of any such program or prohibit the Debtors or the

 

17


 

Reorganized Debtors from modifying the terms and conditions of any such program or benefits as otherwise permitted by such program and applicable nonbankrutpcy law.

 

5.7                               Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements or Other Agreements

 

Unless otherwise provided for in the Plan, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, including easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests.  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.

 

5.8                               Reservation of Rights

 

If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of such assumption or rejection, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have 28 calendar days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease, including by assuming or rejecting such contract or lease.

 

5.9                               Nonoccurrence of the Effective Date

 

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

 

5.10                        Contracts and Leases Entered into After the Petition Date

 

Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition by any Debtor will be performed by such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor liable thereunder in the ordinary course of such Debtor’s business.  Accordingly, such contracts and leases will survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan and except as otherwise agreed by the relevant parties: (1) no partial payments and no partial distributions shall be made with respect to a Disputed Claim until all

 

18


 

such disputes in connection with such Disputed Claim have been resolved by settlement or Final Order and (2) any Entity that holds both an Allowed Claim and a Disputed Claim shall not receive any distribution on the Allowed Claim unless and until all objections to the Disputed Claim have been resolved by settlement or Final Order or the Claim has been Allowed or expunged.  Any dividends or other distributions arising from property distributed to Holders of Allowed Claims in a Class and paid to such Holders under the Plan shall be paid also, in the applicable amounts, to any Holder of a Disputed Claim, as applicable, in such Class that becomes an Allowed Claim after the date or dates that such dividends or other distributions were earlier paid to Holders of Allowed Claims in such Class.

 

6.3                               Disbursing Agent

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, all distributions under the Plan shall be made by the Disbursing Agent on or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date.  To the extent the Disbursing Agent are the Reorganized Debtors, the Disbursing Agent shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

On or as soon as is reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent shall distribute the Senior Notes Distribution in accordance with the terms of this Article VI and the Plan Supplement. Instructions on how holders of Old Notes will receive their pro rata share of the Senior Notes Distribution will be provided in the Plan Supplement.  As a condition to receiving its pro rata share of the Senior Notes Distribution, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may require an Old Notes Creditor to surrender its Old Notes by completing the procedures to be described in the Plan Supplement.  The method for issuance of the Senior Notes and Junior PIK Notes will be described in greater detail in the Plan Supplement.

 

Holders of Old Notes who do not fulfill the requirements noted above and in the Plan Supplement for the receipt of their pro rata share of the Senior Notes Distribution within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Effective Date shall forfeit their entitlement to a distribution under the Plan, shall not participate in any distribution under the Plan, and shall have their Claims on account of the Old Notes and Collateral Documents discharged.  Any property in respect of such forfeited Old Notes Claims would revert to Reorganized Maxcom.

 

6.5                               Delivery of Distributions and Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions

 

(a)                                 Delivery of Distributions

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan (including in Section 6.4 above), distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be made to Holders of record as of the Record Date by the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent, as appropriate: (a) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Reorganized Debtors or the applicable Disbursing Agent, as appropriate or (b) on any counsel that has appeared in the Chapter 11 Cases on the Holder’s behalf.  The Debtors shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of Claims or Interests occurring on or after the Record Date; provided, however, that distributions on account of the Old Notes Claims shall be made in accordance with Section 6.4 above.  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

 

19


 

manner set forth in the Plan.  The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and the Disbursing Agent, as applicable, shall not incur any liability whatsoever on account of any distributions under the Plan except for fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.

 

(b)                                 Minimum; De Minimis Distributions.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, the Disbursing Agent shall not be required to distribute Cash or other property to the Holder of any Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest if the amount of Cash or other property to be distributed on account of such Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest is less than $50.  Any Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest on account of which the amount of Cash or other property to be distributed is less than such amount shall have such Claim or Interest, as applicable, discharged and shall be forever barred from asserting such Claim or Interest against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or their respective property.  Any Cash or other property not distributed pursuant to this provision shall be the property of Reorganized Maxcom.

The Senior Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of US$1,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof.  The Junior PIK Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of Ps 20,000 and integral multiples  of Ps. 20 in excess thereof.  Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, no fractional amounts of Senior Notes or Junior PIK Notes shall be issued or distributed pursuant to the Plan.  Whenever any distribution under the Plan would yield a distribution of Senior Notes or Junior PIK Notes below the integral requirement, the actual distribution shall reflect a rounding of such amount down to the nearest $1 in the case of Senior Notes and down to the nearest Ps. 20 in the case of Junior PIK Notes.  Upon the allocation of all of the whole Senior Notes and Junior PIK Notes authorized under the Plan, all remaining portions of the entitlements shall be canceled and shall be of no further force and effect.  For distribution and rounding purposes, DTC will be considered a single holder.

 

(d)                                 Compliance Matters

 

In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent 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 Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent 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 Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and other spousal awards, liens, and encumbrances.  All Persons holding Claims shall be required to provide any information necessary to effect information reporting and the withholding of such taxes.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, (a) each Holder of an Allowed Claim shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any Governmental Unit, including income, withholding and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution, and (b) no distribution shall be made to or on behalf of such Holder pursuant to the Plan unless and until such Holder has made arrangements satisfactory to the Reorganized Debtors for the payment and satisfaction of such tax obligations.

20


 

(f)                                   Undeliverable and Unclaimed Distributions

 

(1)                                                                                 Undeliverable Distributions.  If any distribution to a Holder of an Allowed Claim is returned to the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent as undeliverable or is otherwise unclaimed, no further distributions shall be made to such Holder unless and until the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent are notified in writing of such Holder’s then-current address or other necessary information for delivery.  Subject to the succeeding sentence, the Reorganized Debtors or their duly appointed disbursing agent shall retain undeliverable distributions until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable.  Each Holder of an Allowed Claim whose distribution remains (i) undeliverable for one hundred and eighty (180) days after the distribution is returned as undeliverable or (ii) otherwise has not been deposited, endorsed or negotiated within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the date of issuance shall have no claim to or interest in such distribution and shall be forever barred from receiving any distribution under the Plan.  Nothing contained in this Plan shall require the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim.

 

(2)                                                                                 Reversion.  Any distribution under the Plan that is an Unclaimed Distribution for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days after distribution shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and such Unclaimed Distribution shall revest in Reorganized Maxcom.  Upon such revesting, the Claim or Interest of any Holder or its successors with respect to such property shall be cancelled, discharged, and forever barred notwithstanding any applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws, or any provisions in any document governing the distribution that is an Unclaimed Distribution, to the contrary.

 

6.6                               Setoffs

 

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Reorganized Debtors, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (including section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code), applicable non-bankruptcy law, or as may be agreed to by the Holder of a Claim, may set off against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of such Allowed Claim (before any distribution is made on account of such Allowed Claim), any Claims, rights, and Causes of Action of any nature that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may hold against the Holder of such Allowed Claim, to the extent such Claims, rights, or Causes of Action against such Holder have not been otherwise compromised or settled on or prior to the Effective Date (whether pursuant to the Plan or otherwise); provided, however, that neither the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim pursuant to the Plan shall constitute a waiver or release by the Reorganized Debtors of any such Claims, rights, and Causes of Action that the Reorganized Debtors may possess against such Holder.  In no event shall any Holder of Claims be entitled to set off any Claim against any Claim, right, or Cause of Action of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, unless such Holder has filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court requesting the authority to perform such setoff on or before the Confirmation Date, and notwithstanding any indication in any Proof of Claim or otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of setoff pursuant to section 553 or otherwise.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Claim in Class A shall be subject to setoff.

 

6.7                               Allocation Between Principal and Accrued Interest

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the aggregate consideration paid to Holders with respect to their Allowed Claims shall be treated pursuant to the Plan for income tax purposes as allocated first to the principal amount of such Allowed Claims (to the extent thereof) and, thereafter, to the interest accrued through and including the Effective Date.

ARTICLE VII

 

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED CLAIMS

 

7.1                               Disputed Claims

 

In the event that the Debtors dispute a Claim, such Claim shall be Disputed unless Allowed or disallowed by a Final Order or as otherwise set forth in this ARTICLE VII.  Except as otherwise provided herein, all Proofs of Claim filed after the Effective Date shall be expunged without the need for any objection by the Reorganized Debtors or any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.  On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor may settle any Claims for which a Proof of Claim has been filed or for which a Proof of Claim has not been filed, without further notice to or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the Claims and Solicitation Agent, or any other party.

 

7.2                               Resolution of Disputed Claims

 

Except insofar as a Claim is Allowed under the Plan, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall be entitled to object to the Claim.  Any objections to Claims shall be served and filed on or before the 120th day after the Effective Date or by such later date as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.  Notwithstanding any authority to the contrary, an objection to a Claim shall be deemed properly served on the Holder thereof if service is effected in any of the following manners: (a) in accordance with Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as modified and made applicable by Bankruptcy Rule 7004; or (b) by first class mail, postage prepaid, on any counsel that has appeared on the Holder’s behalf in the Chapter 11 Cases.  The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall be authorized to, and shall resolve all Disputed Claims or Interests by withdrawing or settling such objections thereto, or by litigating to Final Order in the Bankruptcy Court the validity, nature and/or amount thereof.  All Claims not objected to by the end of such 120-day period shall be deemed Allowed unless such period is extended upon approval of the Bankruptcy Court.  For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, from and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses the Debtors had immediately prior to the Effective Date with respect to any Disputed Claim, including the Causes of Action retained pursuant to Section 4.13.

 

7.3                               Estimation of Claims

 

The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may (but are not required to) at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Disputed Claim that is contingent or unliquidated in accordance with section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason, regardless of whether any Entity previously has objected to such Claim or Interest or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection.  If the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim or Interest, the estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim or Interest for all purposes under the Plan (including for purposes of distributions), and the Reorganized Debtors may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such Claim or Interest.

 

7.4                               No Interest

 

Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or by order of the Bankruptcy Court, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on Claims, and no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim or right.  Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing, interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Disputed Claim with respect to the period from the Effective Date to the date a final distribution is made on account of such Disputed Claim, if and when such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

 

7.5                               No Distributions Pending Allowance

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, no payments or distributions of any kind or nature shall be made with respect to all or any portion of a Disputed Claim unless and until all objections to such Disputed Claim have been settled or withdrawn or have been determined by Final Order and the Disputed Claim has

 

22


 

become an Allowed Claim.  Distributions on account of Disputed Claims that become Allowed Claims shall be made pursuant to Section 6.2.

 

7.6                               Disallowance of Claims and Interests

 

All Claims of any Entity from which property is sought by the Debtors under section 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors allege is a transferee of a transfer that is avoidable under section 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be disallowed if: (a) the Entity, on the one hand, and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, on the other hand, agree or the Bankruptcy Court has determined by Final Order that such Entity or transferee is liable to turn over any property or monies under any of the aforementioned sections of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) such Entity or transferee has failed to turn over such property by the date set forth in such agreement or Final Order.
