CLASSIFICATION AND TREATMENT
OF CLASSIFIED CLAIMS AND INTERESTS

A. Classification

The classification of Claims (except for Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims) and Interests listed below is for all purposes, including, without limitation, voting, confirmation and distributions under this Plan and under Bankruptcy Code §§ 1122 and 1123(a)(1). Consistent with section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code, a Claim or Interest shall be deemed classified by the Plan in a particular Class only to the extent such Claim or Interest satisfies the definition of such Class and shall be deemed classified in a different Class to the extent any remainder or other portion of such Claim or Interest satisfies the definition of such different Class. NO RELIANCE SHOULD BE PLACED ON THE FACT THAT A PARTICULAR CLAIM OR INTEREST IS CLASSIFIED IN A CERTAIN CLASS FOR VOTING PURPOSES. THE LIQUIDATING TRUSTEE MAY OBJECT TO CLAIMS OR INTERESTS AFTER THE CONFIRMATION OR EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE PLAN IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER A CLAIM IS CLASSIFIED IN A CERTAIN CLASS. A Claim is in a particular Class only to the extent such Claim is an Allowed Claim in such Class and has not been paid or otherwise settled before the Effective Date. The classification of Claims and Interests pursuant to this Plan is as follows:

Class			Status		Voting Rights

Class 1	—	Other Priority Non-Tax Claims	Unimpaired	—	not entitled to vote

Class 2		Gateway Secured Claims	Impaired	—	entitled to vote

Class 3	—	Other Secured Claims that are not Class 1 or 2 Claims	Unimpaired	—	not entitled to vote

Class 4	—	General Unsecured Claims	Impaired	—	entitled to vote

Class 5	—	Interests	Impaired	—	not entitled to vote

Class 6	—	Intercompany Claims	Impaired	—	not entitled to vote

Class 7	—	Other Securities Claims and Interests	Impaired	—	not entitled to vote

B. Unclassified Claims: Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims

As provided in Bankruptcy Code § 1123(a)(1), Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims shall not be classified for the purposes of voting or receiving distributions under this Plan. Rather, all such Claims shall be treated separately as unclassified Claims on the terms set forth in this Article II.B.

1. Administrative Claims

a. Non-Professional Fee Claims

The Liquidating Trustee shall pay each Holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim (excluding Professional Fee Claims) the full amount of such Allowed Administrative Claim, without interest, in Cash, as soon as practicable after the later of: (i) the occurrence of the Effective Date, or (ii) the date such Administrative Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim may be paid on such other date or dates and upon such other less favorable terms as may be agreed upon by such Holder and the Liquidating Trustee. Without limiting the foregoing, all outstanding fees payable to the Office of the United States Trustee under 28 U.S.C. § 1930 that have not been paid as of the Effective Date, shall be paid by the Liquidating Trustee no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, or when due in the ordinary course, pending entry of a Final Decree.

b. Professional Fee Claims

The Liquidating Trustee shall pay Professionals who are entitled to reimbursement or allowance of fees and expenses from the Debtors’ Estates pursuant to Bankruptcy Code §§ 503(b)(2) - (b)(6), in Cash, in the amount awarded to such Professionals by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, as soon as practicable after the later of (i) the Effective Date, and (ii) the date upon which any order awarding fees and expenses becomes a Final Order, in accordance with the terms of any order entered by the Bankruptcy Court governing the payment of fees and expenses during the course of the Chapter 11 Case, and after application of any retainer received by the Professionals.

Any final application for allowance of a Professional Fee Claim for services rendered and costs incurred through the Effective Date must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on counsel for the Debtors, counsel for the Liquidating Trust and the Liquidating Trustee at the addresses listed in Article XIII.N of this Plan and on the Office of the United States Trustee so that it is received no later than forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date. In the event an application for allowance of a Professional Fee Claim is not filed by the appropriate date, such Professional Fee Claim shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors, their Estates, the Liquidating Trust, the Liquidating Trustee and their successors, their assigns or their Assets. Allowed Professional Fee Claims must be paid in full and Professional Fee Claims pending allowance by the Bankruptcy Court must be reserved for in full prior to any payment to Holders of Allowed Claims in Class 4 (General Unsecured Claims).

c. Administrative Claims and Substantial Contribution Claim Filing Deadline

Each Holder of an Administrative Claim or Substantial Contribution Claim (excluding Professional Fee Claims) must file an Administrative Claim Request or request for a Substantial Contribution Claim with the Bankruptcy Court prior to the Administrative Bar Date.

2. Priority Tax Claims

The Disbursing Agent shall pay each Holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim in full, in Cash, as soon as practicable after the later of (i) the Effective Date, or (ii) the date such Priority

Tax Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. All Allowed Priority Tax Claims against the Debtors that are not due and payable on or before the Effective Date, shall be paid in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms thereof. The Liquidating Trustee can prepay any Allowed Priority Tax Claim at any time after the Effective Date, without any penalty or charge.

Holders of Allowed Priority Tax Claims will not be entitled to receive any payment on account of any penalty arising with respect to or in connection with such Claims. Any Claim for any such penalty, or demand for any such penalty, will be deemed disallowed by confirmation of this Plan.

C. Treatment of Classified Claims

1. Class 1-Other Priority Non-Tax Claims

(a) Classification: Class 1 consists of all Allowed Other Priority Non-Tax Claims.

(b) Treatment: As soon as practicable after the later of (i) the Effective Date, or (ii) the date on which the Other Priority Non-Tax Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, in full satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of, and in exchange for each Allowed Other Priority Non-Tax Claim that is due and payable, the Disbursing Agent shall pay each Holder of an Allowed Class 1 Claim, in relative order of priority pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 507, in full, in Cash, without interest.

(c) Voting: Class 1 is unimpaired and the Holders of Class 1 Claims are conclusively deemed to have accepted this Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, the Holders of Claims in Class 1 are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

2. Class 2— Gateway Secured Claims

(a) Classification: Class 2 consists of the Gateway Secured Claims.

(b) Treatment: In accordance with the Gateway Settlement Agreement, the Holders of Class 2 Claims shall be entitled to receive 45% of the net proceeds (less any and all costs of collection including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of accounts receivable of MPC-Pro, obtained from May 31, 2010 until the date of entry of a final decree in the cases of each of the Debtors, which amounts shall be applied to further reduce the Gateway Deficiency Claim.

3. Class 3—Other Secured Claims that are not Class 1 or 2 Claims

(a) Classification: Class 3 consists of all Allowed Other Secured Claims that are not Class 1 or 2 Claims.

(b) Treatment: On the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, each Holder of an Allowed Other Secured Claim (e.g. PMSI Holders, equipment financing lenders, etc.) shall receive one of the following treatments, at the option of the Liquidating Trustee after consultation with the Trust Oversight Committee, such that they shall be rendered unimpaired pursuant to section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code: (i) the payment of such Holder’s Allowed Other Secured Claim in full, in Cash; (ii) the sale or disposition proceeds of the property securing such Allowed Other Secured Claim to the extent of the value of the Holder’s interests in such property; or (iii) the surrender to the Holder of the property securing such Claim.

(c) Voting: Class 3 is unimpaired and Holders of Class 3 Claims are conclusively deemed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, the Holders of Claims in Class 3 are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

4. Class 4 - General Unsecured Claims

(a) Classification: Class 4 consists of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims.

(b) Treatment: On the Effective Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Disbursing Agent shall distribute to each Holder of an Allowed Class 4 Claim its Pro Rata share of Distributable Cash, in accordance with Article VIII hereof, until paid in full to the extent of then available Liquidation Proceeds.

5. Class 5 - Interests

(a) Classification: Class 5 consists of all Interests.

(b) Treatment: On the Effective Date, all Interests shall be deemed cancelled and of no further force and effect, whether surrendered for cancellation or otherwise.

(c) Voting: Class 5 is impaired, but because no distributions will be made to Holders of Class 5 Interests, such Holders are deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, the Holders of Class 5 Interests are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

6. Class 6 — Intercompany Claims

(a) Classification: Class 6 consists of all Intercompany Claims.

(b) Treatment: Holders of Class 6 Claims receive no distribution and Class 6 Claims are cancelled as of the Effective Date.

(c) Voting: Class 6 is impaired, but because no distributions will be made to Holders of Class 6 Claims nor will such Holders retain any property, such Holders are deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, the Holders of Class 6 claims are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

7. Class 7 - Other Securities Claims and Interests

(a) Classification: Class 7 consists of all Other Securities Claims and Interests of whatever kind or nature.

(b) Treatment: Class 7 Claims receive no distribution and are cancelled and discharged as of the Effective Date.

(c) Voting: Class 7 is impaired, but because no distributions will be made to Holders of Class 7 Claims, such Holders are deemed to reject the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Class 7 Claims are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

D. Special Provision Governing Unimpaired Claims

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, nothing under the Plan shall affect the Debtors’ or the Liquidating Trust’s rights in respect of any Unimpaired Claims, including, but not limited to, all rights to assert any and all legal and equitable defenses to, or setoffs or recoupments against, such Unimpaired Claims.

ARTICLE III.

ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF THE PLAN

A. Voting Classes

Except as otherwise provided in order(s) of the Bankruptcy Court pertaining to solicitation of votes on this Plan, Holders of Claims in Class 2 (Gateway Secured Claims) and Class 4 (General Unsecured Claims) shall be entitled to vote to accept or reject this Plan. If and to the extent any Class identified as being not Impaired is Impaired (whether as a result of the terms of this Plan or any modification or amendment thereto), such Class shall be entitled to vote to accept or reject this Plan.

B. Classes Deemed to Accept this Plan

Class 1 (Priority Non-Tax Claims) and Class 3 (Other Secured Claims) are unimpaired by this Plan. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1126(f), Classes 1 and 3 are conclusively presumed to have accepted this Plan, and the votes of Holders of Claims in Classes 1 and 3 will therefore not be solicited.

C. Classes Deemed to Reject this Plan

Holders of Claims and Interests in Class 5 (Interests), Class 6 (Intercompany Claims) and Class 7 (Other Securities Claims and Interests) are not entitled to receive any distribution under this Plan on account of such Claims and Interests. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1126(g), Class 5, Class 6 and Class 7 are Impaired and are conclusively presumed to have rejected this Plan, and the votes of Holders of Claims and Interests in Class 5, Class 6 and Class 7 therefore will not be solicited.

D. Acceptance by Impaired Classes

An Impaired Class of Claims shall have accepted the Plan if (a) the Holders (other than any Holder designated under section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code) of at least two-thirds in amount of the Allowed Claims actually voting in such Class have voted to accept the Plan and (b) the holders (other than any Holder designated under section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code) of more than one-half in number of the Allowed Claims actually voting in such Class have voted to accept the Plan.

E. Non-Consensual Confirmation

The Debtors will seek Confirmation of the Plan under section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent applicable based on the deemed rejection by Classes 5, 6 and 7 and if any Voting Class fails to accept the Plan in accordance with section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors reserve the right (a) to request that the Bankruptcy Court confirm the Plan in accordance with section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or (b) to modify the Plan in accordance with Article XIII.M hereof.

ARTICLE IV.

MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN

A. Implementation of the Plan

The Debtors propose to implement and consummate this Plan on and after the Effective Date.

B. Limited Substantive Consolidation or Merger.

This Plan contemplates entry of the Confirmation Order effectuating the limited substantive consolidation of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases into a single Chapter 11 Case solely for the purposes of all actions associated with confirmation and consummation of this Plan. On the Confirmation Date or such other date as may be set by Final Order of the Court, but subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date: (i) solely for the purposes of this Plan and the distributions and transactions contemplated hereby, all assets and liabilities of the Debtors shall be treated as though they were merged; (ii) any obligation of any Debtor and all guarantees thereof executed by one or more of the Debtors shall be deemed to be one obligation of the Debtors; (iii) any Claims filed or to be filed in connection with any such obligation and such guarantees shall be deemed one Claim against the Debtors; (iv) each and every Claim filed in the

individual Chapter 11 Cases of any of the Debtors shall be deemed a single obligation of all of the Debtors under this Plan on and after the Confirmation Date; (v) all duplicative Claims (identical in both amount and subject matter) filed against more than one of the Debtors will be automatically expunged so that only one Claim survives against the Debtors but in no way shall such Claims be deemed Allowed by reason of this section; provided however, that the Debtors will not be deemed, for purposes of any Litigation Claims or determining the availability of the right of set-off under section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code, to be one entity, such that, subject to other provisions of section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code, the debts due to any of the Debtors may not be offset against Claims against another Debtor. The substantive consolidation provided for in this section shall not affect the obligations of each and every Debtor to pay Bankruptcy Fees to the Office of the United States Trustee that may have come due prior to the Effective Date.

Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and any applicable state law and as consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of this section shall constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of any Causes of Action or disputes that could be brought by a Holder of a Claim or Interest asserting that such Claim or Interest would have received more favorable treatment had substantive consolidation not been effected. This compromise and settlement is in the best interests of Holders of Claims and Interests and is fair, equitable and reasonable. Upon confirmation of the Plan, the Plan shall be approved as a settlement of all such causes of action and disputes. Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this settlement pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and its finding that this is a good faith settlement pursuant to any applicable state laws, given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing, and shall bar any such Cause of Action by any Holder of a Claim or Interest with respect to the matters described in this section.

As an alternative to limited substantive consolidation, the Debtors shall be authorized to take all necessary actions to effectuate a merger under applicable nonbankruptcy law. Upon any substantive consolidation or merger, the Debtors will not be deemed, for purposes of any Litigation Claims or determining the availability of the right of set-off under section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code, to be one entity, such that, subject to other provisions of section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code, the debts due to any of the Debtors may not be offset against Claims against another Debtor.

C. Formation of the Liquidating Trust

Prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors shall continue to wind down their businesses subject to all applicable requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules. This Plan contemplates the transfer of the Debtors’ Assets and liabilities into the Liquidating Trust.

On the Effective Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Debtors and the Committee will form the Liquidating Trust to administer certain post-confirmation responsibilities under the Plan, including, but not necessarily limited to, those responsibilities associated with the pursuit and collection of Litigation Claims, Causes of Action, and the reconciliation and payment of Claims.

The Liquidating Trust shall be established as a Delaware common law trust, which shall also be a grantor trust for the sole purpose of liquidating the Estate and making distributions to

Holders of Allowed Claims and Interests, in accordance with this Plan and Treas. Reg. § 301.7701-4(d), with no objective to continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business. Subject to definitive guidance from the IRS, all parties shall treat the Liquidating Trust as a liquidating trust for all federal income tax purposes.

The Liquidating Trust Agreement shall contain provisions customary to trust agreements utilized in comparable circumstances, including, but not limited to, any and all provisions necessary to govern the rights, powers, obligations and appointment and removal of the Liquidating Trustee and to ensure the treatment of the Liquidating Trust as a liquidating trust for federal income tax purposes, all consistent with the Plan.

For all federal income tax purposes, all parties (including, without limitation, the Debtors, the Liquidating Trustee and Holders of Allowed Claims and Interests) shall treat the transfer of Assets and liabilities to the Liquidating Trust, in accordance with the terms of this Plan, as a transfer to Holders of Allowed Claims and Interests followed by a transfer by such Holders to the Liquidating Trust, and the beneficiaries of the Liquidating Trust shall be treated as the grantors and owners thereof. The beneficiaries of the Liquidating Trust shall be the Holders of Allowed Claims and Interests.

The Liquidating Trust shall terminate no later than the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, that within a period of three (3) months prior to such termination date, the Bankruptcy Court, upon motion by a party in interest may extend the term of the Liquidating Trust if it is necessary to facilitate or complete the liquidation of the Liquidating Trust’s assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, multiple extensions can be obtained so long as Bankruptcy Court approval is obtained within three (3) months prior to the expiration of each extended term; provided, however, that the aggregate of all such extensions shall not exceed three (3) years, unless the Liquidating Trustee receives a favorable ruling from the IRS that any further extension would not adversely affect the status of the Liquidating Trust as a liquidating trust within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 301.7701-4(d) for federal income tax purposes.

D. Assets of the Liquidating Trust

On the Effective Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Debtors shall transfer, assign and deliver to the Liquidating Trust, the Liquidating Trust Assets as specified in the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

On the Effective Date, title to all property of the Debtors’ Estates will pass to and vest in the Liquidating Trust, free and clear of all Claims, interests, Liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances (except as otherwise provided in this Plan).

The Liquidating Trust Assets shall be held by the Liquidating Trust for the beneficiaries or the Liquidating Trust subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement. The Liquidating Trust shall administer the D&O Policies and all policies shall cover the D&Os and the prepetition directors and officers that were previously covered by such D&O Policies.

E. Liabilities of the Liquidating Trust

The liabilities transferred to the Liquidating Trust shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, obligations under this Plan with respect to Priority Tax Claims, Other Priority Non-Tax Claims, Other Secured Claims, General Unsecured Claims and Administrative Claims that have not been satisfied on the Effective Date of the Plan.

On the Effective Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Debtors will transfer to the Liquidating Trust all cash on hand to make the payments required on Allowed Claims pursuant to the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement. In addition, the Liquidating Trust shall have available the proceeds from the prosecution of Causes of Action.

F. Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries

The beneficiaries of the Liquidating Trust are the Holders of Class 4 Claims.

G. Appointment of the Liquidating Trustee and Members of the Trust Oversight Committee

The Committee, after consultation with the Debtors, shall appoint the Liquidating Trustee who shall have the power to administer the Liquidating Trust and will be advised by the Trust Oversight Committee as specified in this Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement; provided however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if the release provisions set forth in Article XI of this Plan are not approved in their entirety in connection with confirmation of this Plan, then the Debtors shall appoint the Liquidating Trustee and no Trust Oversight Committee shall be formed.

If applicable, the Trust Oversight Committee shall consist of at least three members plus the Liquidating Trustee. The members of the Trust Oversight Committee shall be designated by the Committee; provided however, any member of the Trust Oversight Committee that is conflicted on a particular matter to be addressed by the Trust Oversight Committee shall not participate as a member of the Trust Oversight Committee with regard to such matter. Pursuant to section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors will disclose, on or prior to the Confirmation Date, the identity and any affiliations of the Liquidating Trustee and any Person proposed to serve on the Trust Oversight Committee. To the extent any such Person is an “insider” under the Bankruptcy Code, the nature of any compensation for such Person will also be disclosed.

The Debtors and the Liquidating Trustee shall enter into a Liquidating Trust Agreement in substantially the form which shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court with the Plan Supplement. On the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trustee shall succeed in all respects to all of the rights, privileges and immunities of the Debtors, including, without limitation, the attorney-client privileges, work product privilege and any other evidentiary privileges of the Debtors and shall be appointed as the sole officer of the Debtors as of the Effective Date. The Liquidating Trustee, and his successors, shall serve until the earlier of (i) the later to occur of (a) the entry of the Final Decree, (b) the dissolution of the Liquidating Trust, and (c) the payment of the final distributions to Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims pursuant to the Plan; or (ii) the expiration of the term of such Liquidating Trustee’s employment agreement or such Liquidating Trustee’s resignation, death, incapacity, removal or termination by the Trust Oversight

Committee pursuant to the Liquidating Trust Agreement or order of the Bankruptcy Court. The Liquidating Trustee may also be removed by the Bankruptcy Court upon motion for good cause shown by any Creditor.

As set forth herein, the liquidation and winding up of the Liquidating Trust and the Debtors shall become the responsibility of the Liquidating Trustee who shall thereafter have responsibility for the management, control and operation thereof, and who may use, acquire and dispose of property free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules, but subject to the terms of the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

Upon creation of the Liquidating Trust, the Liquidating Trustee shall be the trustee of the Liquidating Trust for all purposes and in all respects, with all necessary and appropriate power to act for, on behalf of and in the name of the Liquidating Trust.

H. Duties of the Liquidating Trustee

In addition to the duties set forth elsewhere in this Plan, the Liquidating Trustee, at the direction of and in consultation with the Trust Oversight Committee as set forth more specifically in the Liquidating Trust Agreement, and herein, shall have the following duties:

1. to sell, liquidate and/or recover any and all Assets of the Debtors’ Estates vested in the Liquidating Trust;

2. to manage, control and operate the Liquidating Trust;

3. to investigate and, if necessary and appropriate, to prosecute and enforce (or not prosecute or enforce), or to compromise, release or settle any Causes of Action on behalf of the Estate and the Liquidating Trust without further approval of or application to the Bankruptcy Court;

4. to invest the Cash and other Assets of the Liquidating Trust and the Estate;

5. to file any and all reports, pleadings and other documents;

6. to pay Allowed Claims pursuant to the Plan and to make any and all distributions required or permitted to be made under this Plan;

7. to pay out of the Liquidating Trust any and all Claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith or as a result thereof, including all Post-Confirmation Expenses accruing from and after the Effective Date in accordance with the Administrative Budget;

8. to employ, supervise and compensate any employees of the Liquidating Trust;

9. to make and file tax returns for the Debtors and the Liquidating Trust;

10. to commence and pursue dissolution or winding up of proceedings for the Liquidating Trust;

11. to request the entry of a Final Decree;

12. to file, prosecute, compromise and settle objections to Claims without further approval of or application to the Bankruptcy Court, except as otherwise provided herein;

13. to prepare and deliver to the Trust Oversight Committee for approval the Administrative Budget of the Liquidating Trust with respect to each six-month period following the initial Administrative Budget and any amendments or modifications thereto; and

14. to take any and all other actions necessary or appropriate to implement this Plan and the liquidation and winding up of the Debtors, the Estates and the Liquidating Trust in accordance with applicable law, provided, that nothing herein shall permit the Liquidating Trustee to terminate or cancel the Debtors’ director and officer liability insurance coverage relating to the period following the Petition Date, and provided further that the Liquidating Trustee shall not renew or extend such insurance coverage, or other new or substitute coverage, without the approval of the Trust Oversight Committee.

In connection with the execution of his or her duties under this Plan, the Liquidating Trustee, at the direction of and in consultation with the Trust Oversight Committee as set forth more specifically in the Liquidating Trust Agreement and herein, shall be authorized:

a. to execute such documents and to take such other actions as are necessary to effectuate this Plan and perform his or her duties as liquidating agent of and for the Estate and the Liquidating Trust, including to execute such documents and take such other action on behalf of the Liquidating Trust or the Debtors;

b. to open, close and manage bank accounts, and to enter into business transactions within or without the ordinary course of business;

c. to authorize and benefit from any insurance policies and rights of indemnification;

d. to retain and pay professionals (including the Debtors’ or the Committee’s Professionals) or other Persons to assist the Liquidating Trustee in the liquidation of the Debtors’ Assets, without prior Bankruptcy Court approval, and to designate another Person to be the Disbursing Agent, if necessary;

e. to incur any reasonable and necessary expenses (up to the amounts set forth in the Administrative Budget) in the performance of his or her duties as liquidating agent of and for the Estate and the Liquidating Trust;

f. to compromise, release or settle any Claim or Cause of Action or to sell or dispose of any Asset; and

g. to employ such other procedures, not inconsistent with this Plan, necessary for the Liquidating Trustee to perform his or her duties hereunder.

The Liquidating Trustee shall be deemed the Estates’ representative in accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1123 and shall have all powers, authority and responsibilities specified in the Liquidating Trust Agreement, including, without limitation, the powers of a trustee under Bankruptcy Code sections 704 and 1106 (including, without limitation, commencing, prosecuting or settling Causes of Action and asserting claims, defenses, offsets and privileges), to the extent not inconsistent with this Plan or the status of the Liquidating Trust as a liquidating trust within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 301.7701-4(d) for federal income tax purposes. In discharging the foregoing responsibilities, the Liquidating Trustee shall be entitled to exercise and rely upon his or her business judgment in consultation with the Trust Oversight Committee. The Liquidating Trustee shall not be obligated to take any action or to pursue any Causes of Action unless justified in his or her reasonable determination by fact and law, nor shall the Liquidating Trustee be obligated to take any action that could reasonably cause him or her personal liability. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Liquidating Trustee may consider the interests of Holders of Allowed Claims in receiving prompt distributions and such other factors as may be reasonable in the exercise of his or her business judgment. Such authorization and benefits shall also extend to any, each and every successor Liquidating Trustee, without reservation or limitation.

The Liquidation Trustee, at the direction of the Trust Oversight Committee, shall be permitted to make any investments that a liquidating trust, within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 301.7701-4(d), may be permitted to hold, pursuant to the Treasury Regulations, or any modification in the IRS guidelines, whether set forth in IRS rulings, other IRS pronouncements or otherwise and pursuant to the investment guidelines of Bankruptcy Code §345. The Liquidating Trustee, at the direction of the Trust Oversight Committee, may expend the Cash of the Liquidating Trust (a) as reasonably necessary to meet contingent liabilities and to maintain the value of the respective assets of the Liquidating Trust during liquidation, (b) to pay the respective reasonable administrative expenses (including, but not limited to, any United States Trustee fees, Liquidating Trustee fees, professional fees, and taxes imposed on the Liquidating Trust), and (c) to satisfy other respective liabilities incurred by the Liquidating Trust in accordance with the Plan or the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

I. Post Confirmation Expenses

Prior to the Effective Date, the Committee shall approve the Administrative Budget for the six (6) month period beginning on the Effective Date for professional fees for services to be rendered to the Liquidating Trust, which Administrative Budget may be altered from time to time by the Liquidating Trustee after consultation with the Trust Oversight Committee in accordance with the Liquidating Trust Agreement provided that any fees and expenses of professionals retained by the Liquidating Trust that have been incurred prior to the date of the modification of the Administrative Budget shall constitute budgeted amounts. The Trust Oversight Committee shall approve in advance the Liquidating Trustee’s retention of professionals and their compensation arrangements.

On the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trustee shall establish the Administrative Fund. The initial amount of the Administrative Fund shall be based on the Liquidating Trustee’s good faith estimate of the cost necessary to complete the Liquidating Trust’s obligations under this Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement and will include the amount budgeted for the

Liquidating Trust’s professionals pursuant to Article IV.I of this Plan. The Liquidating Trust shall pay all costs and expenses related to carrying out its obligations under this Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement from the Administrative Fund and, in the Liquidating Trustee’s discretion, and with approval of the Trust Oversight Committee, may add additional amounts to the Administrative Fund to prosecute the Causes of Action or for administration and other miscellaneous needs of the Liquidating Trust without further notice or motion in accordance with the terms of the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

The reasonable and necessary fees and actual and necessary expenses of the Liquidating Trustee, the Trust Oversight Committee and the professionals retained by the Liquidating Trustee and the Trust Oversight Committee shall be paid by the Liquidating Trustee in accordance with the following procedures or such other procedures as may be set by the Liquidating Trustee: upon the submission of a fee and/or expense statement to the Liquidating Trustee and the Trust Oversight Committee, the Liquidating Trustee and the Trust Oversight Committee shall have twenty (20) days from the delivery of a fee statement to give notice of an objection to the fee statement to the professional or Person seeking compensation or reimbursement. For an objection to be valid, it shall be in writing and set forth in detail the specific fees objected to and the basis for the objection. Any objection that remains unresolved fifteen (15) days after it is made shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court by the objecting party, served upon the professional or Person seeking compensation or reimbursement, and heard by the Bankruptcy Court at the next regularly scheduled omnibus hearing. The uncontested portion of each invoice shall be paid within twenty (20) days after its delivery to the Liquidating Trustee and the Trust Oversight Committee in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

J. Liability; Indemnification

The Liquidating Trustee or any member of the Trust Oversight Committee shall not be liable for any act or omission taken or omitted to be taken in his or her capacity as Liquidating Trustee or as a member of the Trust Oversight Committee, as the case may be, other than acts or omissions resulting from the Liquidating Trustee’s or Trust Oversight Committee member’s willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud. The Liquidating Trustee and the Trust Oversight Committee may, in connection with the performance of their functions, and in their sole and absolute discretion, consult with their respective attorneys, accountants, financial advisors and agents, and the Liquidating Trustee and the Trust Oversight Committee shall not be liable for any act taken, omitted to be taken, or suffered to be done in accordance with advice or opinions rendered by such Persons other than acts or omissions resulting from the willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud of the Liquidating Trustee or the Trust Oversight Committee, as the case may be. Notwithstanding such authority, the Liquidating Trustee and the Trust Oversight Committee shall not be under any obligation to consult with their respective attorneys, accountants, financial advisors or agents, and any determination not to do so shall not result in the imposition of liability on the Liquidating Trustee or the Trust Oversight Committee, as the case may be, and their respective designees, unless such determination is based on willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud. The Liquidating Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless the Liquidating Trustee, the Trust Oversight Committee and their respective designees and professionals, and all duly designated agents and representatives (in their capacity as such), from and against and in respect of all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses

(including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or due to such actions or omissions, or consequences of their actions or omissions with respect or related to the performance of the duties of the Liquidating Trustee or the Trust Oversight Committee, as the case may be, or the implementation or administration of this Plan; provided, however, that no such indemnification will be available to such Persons for such actions or omissions if a court of competent jurisdiction has determined by final order that the challenged conduct occurred as a result of willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud. Additionally, it is not a conflict for the Liquidating Trustee to retain the Committee’s or Debtors’ counsel or financial advisors.

K. Dissolution of the Committee

Upon the Effective Date, the Committee shall dissolve automatically whereupon its members, Professionals and agents shall be released from any further duties and responsibilities in the applicable Debtor(s)’ chapter 11 cases and under the Bankruptcy Code, except with respect to: (i) obligations arising under confidentiality agreements, joint interest agreements and protective orders entered during the Chapter 11 Case which shall remain in full force and effect according to their terms; (ii) applications for Professional Fee Claims; (iii) requests for allowance and payment of Substantial Contribution Claims; and (iv) any pending motions, or any motions or other actions seeking enforcement or implementation of the provisions of this Plan or the Confirmation Order. The Committee members and the Professionals retained by the Committee shall not be entitled to compensation and reimbursement of expenses for services rendered after the Effective Date, except for services rendered in connection with applications for allowance of compensation and reimbursement of expenses pending on the Effective Date or filed after the Effective Date.

On the Effective Date, the Trust Oversight Committee shall succeed in all respects to all of the rights, privileges and immunities of the Committee, including, without limitation, the attorney-client privileges and any other evidentiary privileges of the Committee.

The Trust Oversight Committee shall have the duty to take actions in accordance with the provisions of this Plan and in furtherance of the execution of this Plan. Additionally, the Trust Oversight Committee shall have the following rights and duties:

1. to approve any release or indemnity in favor of any third party granted or agreed to by the Liquidating Trustee;

2. to authorize the Liquidating Trustee to commence any Cause of Action or Avoidance Action;

The duties and powers of the Trust Oversight Committee shall terminate upon the later to occur of (i) the entry of the Final Decree, (ii) the dissolution of the Liquidating Trust, and (iii) the payment of the final distributions to Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims pursuant to the Plan.

The Trust Oversight Committee shall have the right but shall not be required to retain counsel of its choice, and the reasonable and necessary fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the Liquidating Trustee in accordance with the following procedures or such other procedures as may be set by the Liquidating Trustee: upon the submission of a fee and/or expense statement to the Liquidating Trustee and the Trust Oversight Committee, the Liquidating Trustee and the Trust Oversight Committee shall have twenty (20) days from the delivery of a fee statement to give notice of an objection to the fee statement to the professional or Person seeking compensation or reimbursement. For an objection to be valid, it shall be in writing and set forth in detail the specific fees objected to and the basis for the objection. Any objection that remains unresolved fifteen (15) days after it is made shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court by the objecting party, served upon the professional or Person seeking compensation or reimbursement, and heard by the Bankruptcy Court at the next regularly scheduled omnibus hearing. The uncontested portion of each invoice shall be paid within twenty (20) days after its delivery to the Liquidating Trustee and the Trust Oversight Committee in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

M. Corporate Action

On the Effective Date, the matters under this Plan involving or requiring corporate action of the Debtors, including, but not limited to, actions requiring a vote or other approval of the board of directors or shareholders and execution of all documentation incident to this Plan, notwithstanding any otherwise applicable non-bankruptcy law or the Organization Documents of

the Debtors, shall be deemed to have been authorized by the Confirmation Order and to have occurred and be in effect from and after the Effective Date without any further action by the Bankruptcy Court or the officers, directors, members or shareholders, as applicable, of the Debtors.

N. Dissolution of the Debtors and the Liquidating Trust

Immediately after the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trustee shall be authorized to take, in consultation with and with direction of the Trust Oversight Committee, all actions reasonably necessary to dissolve the Debtors under applicable laws, including without limitation under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Debtors may be organized or registered, and to pay all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with such dissolution, including the costs of preparing or filing any necessary paperwork or documentation; provided, however, that the Liquidating Trustee shall not be compelled to dissolve the Debtors if to do so would unduly burden the Liquidating Trust and no assets shall revest in the Debtors. Whether or not dissolved, immediately after the Effective Date, the Debtors shall have no authorization to implement the provisions of this Plan, unless specifically provided for in the Plan.

O. Good Faith

Each of the Liquidating Trustee and Trust Oversight Committee shall act in good faith in carrying out its duties and responsibilities and use its best efforts to liquidate and resolve Claims, disputes and maximize the value of the Liquidating Trust’s assets and minimize claims against the Liquidating Trust.

P. Saturday, Sunday, or Legal Holiday

If any payment or act under this Plan is required to be made or performed on a date that is not a Business Day, then the making of such payment or the performance of such act may be completed on the next succeeding Business Day, but shall be deemed to have been completed as of the required date.

Q. Issuance of Documents Necessary to Consummate the Plan

On or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Debtors shall execute and deliver such other agreements, documents and instruments, as necessary to effectuate the Plan.

R. Continued Assistance

David A. Young, a post-petition officer of the Debtors, shall reasonably provide continued assistance to the Liquidating Trust subsequent to the Effective Date under terms and conditions equivalent to those in effect prior to the Effective Date or under such other terms as may be agreed to by Mr. Young and the Liquidating Trustee.

ARTICLE V.

RETAINED CAUSES OF ACTION

A. Maintenance of Causes of Action

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Liquidating Trust shall retain all rights on behalf of the Debtors and the Estates to commence and pursue, as appropriate, in any court or other tribunal including, without limitation, in an adversary proceeding filed in one or more of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases, any and all Causes of Action, whether such Causes of Action accrued before or after the Petition Date, including, but not limited to, the actions specified herein.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, in accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Claims, rights, and Causes of Action that the respective Debtors, and the Liquidating Trust may hold against any Person shall vest in the Liquidating Trust. The Liquidating Trust shall retain and may exclusively enforce any and all such Claims, rights or Causes of Action, and commence, pursue and settle the Causes of Action in accordance with this Plan, subject to the advice of counsel and the consent of the Trust Oversight Committee. The Liquidating Trust shall have the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to institute, prosecute, abandon, settle, or compromise any and all such claims, rights, and Causes of Action without the consent or approval of any third party and without any further order of court subject to the advice of counsel and the consent of the Trust Oversight Committee as required by the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

B. Preservation of Causes of Action

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan, from and after the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trust and the Liquidating Trustee, subject to any approval of the Trust Oversight Committee as set forth in Article IV. of this Plan, may litigate or settle any Avoidance Action, recovery or subordination actions under Bankruptcy Code §§ 502, 510, 522(f), 522(h), 542, 543, 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, 550, 551, 553 or 724 or any other Causes of Action or rights to payments or claims that belong to the Debtors. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1123(b)(3)(B), no other Person may pursue any such Avoidance Actions, recovery or subordination actions or other Causes of Action that belong to the Debtors, unless otherwise provided by order of the Court.

The Liquidating Trust and the Liquidating Trustee may also investigate, commence, pursue and settle, without limitation, the following potential Causes of Action after the Effective Date:

· All actual or potential avoidance actions pursuant to any applicable section of the Bankruptcy Code including, without limitation, sections 502, 510, 522(f), 522(h), 542, 543, 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, 550, 551, 553 or 724 of the Bankruptcy Code, arising from any transaction involving or concerning the Debtors;

· All actual or potential actions, whether legal, equitable or statutory in nature, for, or in any way involving, the collection of accounts receivable or general ledger items that are due and owing to the Debtors, including without limitation trade receivables, rent and other lease and sublease charges, franchise and/or license fees, payments due under equipment leases and licenses, other miscellaneous charges, and principal and interest on promissory notes by any Person or Entity (collectively, the “Accounts Receivable”);

· All actual actions or potential actions, whether legal, equitable or statutory in nature, against customers, for Accounts Receivable, improper setoff, overpayment, or any other claim arising out of the customer relationship;

· All actual actions or potential actions, whether legal, equitable or statutory in nature, against vendors, for overpayment, improper setoff, warranty, indemnity, retention of double payments, retention of misdirected wires, deductions owing or improper deductions taken, claims for damages arising out of a military distribution relationship, claims for overpayment of drop-ship-delivery amounts, or any other claim arising out of the vendor relationship;

· All actual actions or potential actions against vendors for violation of the Trade Agreements or as set forth in the First Day Orders. The Debtors are still investigating which vendors they have actions against;

· All actual or potential actions, whether legal, equitable or statutory in nature, against Persons or Entities including vendors with respect to prepetition violations of applicable federal or state securities laws;

· All actual or potential breach of contract actions against any customers, vendors or Entities who violated the automatic stay after the Petition Date;

· All actual or potential actions, whether legal, equitable or statutory in nature, against landlords, lessees, sublessees, or assignees arising from various leases, subleases and assignment agreements relating thereto, including, without limitation, actions for unpaid rent, overcharges relating to taxes, common area maintenance and other similar charges;

· All actual or potential actions, whether legal, equitable or statutory in nature, against the Debtors’ current or former insurance carriers to recover unpaid reimbursements and claims, overpayment of premiums and fees, claims for breach of contract, indemnity obligations or coverage or similar Causes of Action;

· All actual or potential Causes of Actions, whether legal, equitable or statutory in nature, against purchasers of assets from the Debtors relating to breach of the purchase agreement or unpaid compensation thereunder;

· Any and all rights to payment against any taxing authority for any tax refunds, credits, overpayments or offsets that may be due and owing to the Debtors for taxes that the Debtors may have paid to any such taxing authority;

· All actions or potential actions, whether legal, equitable or statutory in nature, relating to deposits or other amounts owed by any creditor, lessor utility, supplier, vendor, landlord, sub-lessee, assignee or other Person or Entity;

· All actions or potential actions, whether legal, equitable or statutory in nature, relating to environmental and product liability matters;

· All actions or potential actions, whether legal, equitable or statutory in nature, arising out of, or relating to, the Debtors’ intellectual property rights;

· Potential actions against any of the prepetition directors, officers, employees, attorneys, financial advisors, accountants, investment bankers, agents and representatives of the Debtors, except actions against the Releasees, for breaches of fiduciary duty, negligent mismanagement, wasting of corporate assets, and diversion of corporate opportunity;

· All actual or potential actions, whether legal, equitable or statutory in nature, against all Persons, except actions against the Releasees, arising out of, or in connection with, any of the Debtors’ prepetition management, operation and/or reporting of financial or other information;

· All actions or potential actions, whether legal, equitable or statutory in nature, against any of the Debtors’ current or former professionals, except actions against the Releasees, for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, negligence or professional misconduct malpractice, or other tortuous conduct;

· All rights against any shareholders or others for subordination of their Claims pursuant to section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or against any Person that has agreed to subordination of their claim pursuant to section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code;

· All actions or potential actions against the prepetition members of the Debtors’ board of directors and/or officers, except actions against the Releasees, including, without limitation, the right to equitably subordinate claims held by such directors and officers pursuant to section 510(c) of the Bankruptcy Code;

· All actual or potential actions, whether legal, equitable or statutory in nature, to recover amounts improperly awarded to employees, except actions against the Releasees, under the terms of any prepetition employment or change-in-control agreement or bonus arrangement;

· All actual or potential contract and tort actions that may exist or may subsequently arise; and

· All actual or potential actions whether legal, equitable or statutory in nature, arising out of, or in connection with the Debtors’ business or operations, except actions against the Releasees.

The Debtors believe that all meritorious Avoidance Actions and Causes of Action for collection of outstanding accounts receivable that are likely to yield a recovery for the Debtors’ estates have been commenced. However, the Liquidating Trustee shall perform an independent investigation regarding whether any potential Claim or Cause of Action shall be investigated or pursued. It is possible that there may be other Causes of Action which currently exist or may subsequently arise that are not set forth herein, because the facts upon which such Causes of Action are based are not fully or currently known by the Debtors and, as a result, cannot be specifically referred to herein (collectively, the “Unknown Causes of Action”). The failure to list any such Unknown Causes of Action herein (except as to Releasees) is not intended to limit the rights of the Liquidating Trust to pursue any Unknown Cause of Action to the extent the facts underlying such Unknown Cause of Action become fully known to the Debtors or the Liquidating Trustee.

C. Preservation of All Causes of Action Not Expressly Settled or Released

Unless a Claim or Cause of Action against a Creditor or other Person is expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised or settled in the Plan or any Final Order, the Debtors expressly reserve such Claim or Cause of Action for later adjudication by the Liquidating Trust, (including, without limitation, Unknown Causes of Action), and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including, without limitation, the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, waiver, estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise) or laches shall apply to such Claims or Causes of Action upon or after the Confirmation Date or Effective Date of the Plan based on the Disclosure Statement, the Plan or the Confirmation Order, except where such Claims or Causes of Action have been released in the Plan or other Final Order. In addition, the Debtors, the Liquidating Trust and any successor entities under the Plan expressly reserve the right to pursue or adopt any Claim alleged in any lawsuit in which the Debtors are defendants or an interested party, against any Person or Entity, including, without limitation, the plaintiffs or co-defendants in such lawsuits.

Any Person to whom the Debtors have incurred an obligation (whether on account of services, purchase or sale of goods or otherwise), or who has received services from Debtors or a transfer of money or property from the Debtors, or who has transacted business with the Debtors, or leased equipment or property from the Debtors should assume that such obligation, transfer, or transaction may be reviewed by the Liquidating Trust, as applicable, subsequent to the Effective Date and may, if appropriate, be the subject of an action after the Effective Date, whether or not (i) such Entity has filed a proof of Claim against the Debtors in these Bankruptcy Cases; (ii) such Creditor’s proof of Claim has been objected to; (iii) such Creditor’s Claim was included in the Debtors’ Schedules; or (iv) such Creditor’s scheduled Claim has been objected to by the Debtors or has been identified by the Debtors as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated.

ARTICLE VI.

FUNDING OF THE PLAN

All Cash necessary for the Liquidating Trust to make payments pursuant to the Plan will be obtained from the Debtors’ existing Cash balances, Liquidation Proceeds and the Litigation Claims. Unless otherwise specified herein, cash payments to be made pursuant to the Plan will be made by the Liquidating Trust.

ARTICLE VII.

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS
AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

A. Assumption/Rejection of Executory Contracts, Unexpired Leases, and Cure Payments

No later than twenty (20) days prior to the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors shall file the Assumption Schedule and shall serve the Assumption Schedule on the counterparties to any contract listed on the Assumption Schedule. Objections to any proposed cure payment must be filed and served no later than the Assumption Objection Deadline and shall be adjudicated, if necessary, at the Confirmation Hearing. Any non-debtor party or Person to an Executory Contract listed on the Assumption Schedule that has not filed an objection with the Bankruptcy Court on or before the applicable Assumption Objection Deadline shall be deemed to have waived its right to dispute the cure amount. All unpaid cure payments under any Executory Contract that is assumed or assumed and assigned under this Plan shall be made by the Liquidating Trustee as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, provided that in the event there is a dispute regarding the amount of any cure payment, the Liquidating Trustee shall make such cure payment as may be required by Bankruptcy Code § 365(b)(1) within ten (10) days following the entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute.

The Debtors reserve the right to remove any Executory Contract from the Assumption Schedule at any time prior to the Confirmation Hearing.

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

On the Confirmation Date, except for (i) any Executory Contract that was previously assumed or rejected by an order of the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 365, and (ii) any Executory Contract identified on the Assumption Schedule, each Executory Contract that has not previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms shall be deemed rejected pursuant to Bankruptcy Code §§ 365 and 1123, effective as of the Confirmation Date. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such rejection pursuant to Bankruptcy Code §§ 365 and 1123 as of the Confirmation Date.

C. Rejection Damages Bar Date

Except to the extent another Bar Date applies pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, all Proofs of Claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts under this Plan must be filed with the Court, and a copy served on counsel for the

Debtors and the Liquidating Trustee, within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, or such Claim shall be forever barred and shall not be entitled to a distribution or be enforceable against the Debtors, its Estate, the Liquidating Trust, the Liquidating Trustee, their successors, their assigns or their Assets. Any Claim arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract shall be treated as a Claim in Class 4 (General Unsecured Claims). Nothing in this Plan extends or modifies any previously applicable Bar Date.

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

Any monetary amounts by which each executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan is in default shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the default amount in Cash as soon as practicable after the Effective Date or on such other terms as the parties to such executory contracts or unexpired leases may otherwise agree. In the event of a dispute regarding: (i) the amount of any cure payments, (ii) the ability of the applicable assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed, or (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption.

E. Compensation and Benefit Programs

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all employment and severance agreements and policies, and all compensation and benefit plans, policies, and programs of the Debtors applicable to their employees, former employees, retirees and non-employee directors and the employees, former employees and retirees of their subsidiaries, including, without limitation, all savings plans, retirement plans, health care plans, disability plans, severance benefit agreements and plans, incentive plans, deferred compensation plans and life, accidental death and dismemberment insurance plans (the “Company Benefit Plans”) shall be terminated, or shall be treated as executory contracts under the Plan, on the Effective Date and any such remaining Company Benefit Plans that have not been terminated will be deemed rejected pursuant to the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code.

F. Insurance Policies and Insured Claims

To the extent any or all of the insurance policies of the Debtors as may be identified in the Assumption Scheduled filed with the Court, are considered to be Executory Contracts, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, this Plan shall constitute a motion to assume the insurance policies identified therein. Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, the entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute approval of such assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 365(a) and a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that each such assumption is in the best interest of the Debtors, the Estates and all parties in interest in this Chapter 11 Case. Unless otherwise determined by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to a Final Order or agreed to by the parties thereto prior to the Effective Date, no payments are required to cure any defaults of the Debtors existing as of the Confirmation Date with respect to each such insurance policy identified in the Assumption Schedule. To the extent the Bankruptcy Court determines otherwise with respect to any insurance policy, the Debtors reserve the right to seek

rejection of such insurance policy or other available relief. This Plan shall not affect contracts that have been assumed and assigned by order of the Bankruptcy Court prior to the Confirmation Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the insurance policies (including any insurance policies that are not executory contracts, insurance policies that may have expired prior to the Petition Date, insurance policies in existence on the Petition Date and insurance policies entered into by the Debtors after the Petition Date) of the Debtors identified in the assumption schedule and all rights thereunder and rights under any other insurance policies under which the Debtors may be beneficiaries (including the rights to make, amend, prosecute and benefit from claims) are retained and will be transferred to the Liquidating Trust pursuant to this Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the D&Os shall be entitled to any insurance coverage under the Debtors’ directors and officers insurance policies to pay claims against the D&Os.

The Debtors intentions with respect to the following contracts, to the extent they are executory, are as follows:

1. Directors and Officers Related Insurance Coverage

The Debtors will assume all of the D&O Policies.

2. Casualty Insurance Program

An Allowed Claim partially covered by the Casualty Insurance Program shall be treated as a Class 4 General Unsecured Claim to the extent not otherwise covered by the Casualty Insurance Program.

ARTICLE VIII.

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

A. Disbursing Agent

1. Liquidating Trustee as Disbursing Agent

The Liquidating Trustee shall be the Disbursing Agent, and the Disbursing Agent shall make all distributions under this Plan.

2. Alternative Disbursing Agent Qualification

No Person other than the Liquidating Trustee shall be authorized by the Bankruptcy Court to serve as Disbursing Agent unless and until the Trust Oversight Committee consents in writing to that Person serving as Disbursing Agent, and that Person (i) executes and files a statement with the Bankruptcy Court agreeing to perform all of the duties of the Disbursing Agent under this Plan, and (ii) consents to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court in respect to all matters relating to the performance of his or her duties as the Disbursing Agent under this Plan or order of the Bankruptcy Court.

B. Time and Manner of Distributions

The Disbursing Agent shall make Initial Distributions under the Plan on account of Claims Allowed on the Effective Date or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, except as otherwise agreed to by the Trust Oversight Committee or by order of the Bankruptcy Court. The Disbursing Agent shall have the power, subject to Trust Oversight Committee consent, to make interim distributions to Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims if the Liquidating Trustee determines that such interim distributions are warranted and economical. If the Liquidating Trustee determines to make interim distributions to Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims, the Liquidating Trustee will determine the amount to be distributed by taking into account such factors as ongoing expenses and costs, taxes and reserves necessary to provide for the resolution of Disputed Claims. Amounts withheld will be placed in an interest-bearing account approved by the Trust Oversight Committee, which shall fund ongoing expenses and costs relating to such reserves, including, without limitation, taxes in respect of Disputed Claims, if any.

At the option of the Disbursing Agent, any distributions under this Plan may be made either in Cash, by check drawn on a domestic bank, by wire transfer or by ACH. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan to the contrary, no payment of fractional cents will be made under this Plan. Cash will be issued to Holders entitled to receive a distribution of Cash in whole cents (rounded to the nearest whole cent when and as necessary). Any distribution of less than $50.00 will be considered de minimis, and Holders of Allowed Claims that are entitled to any distribution of less than $50.00 will not receive any distribution unless and until the aggregate of such distributions exceed $50.00. Such undistributed funds shall remain with and vest in the Liquidating Trust for distribution to other Holders of Allowed Claims.

C. Interest on Claims

Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein or in the Confirmation Order, or required by applicable bankruptcy law, post-petition interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims, and no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim.

D. Compliance with Tax Requirements/Allocations

In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Liquidating Trust shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on it by any governmental unit, and all distributions pursuant hereto shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. For tax purposes, distributions received in respect of Allowed Claims will be allocated first to the principal amount of Allowed Claims with any excess allocated, if applicable, to unpaid interest that accrued on such Claims.

E. Delivery of Distributions and Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions

1. Delivery of Distributions in General

Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be made by the Disbursing Agent (i) at the addresses set forth on the Proofs of Claim or Interest filed by such Holder (or at the last known address of such Holder if no motion requesting payment or Proof of Claim or Interest is filed or the Debtors and the Liquidating Trust have been notified in writing of a change of address), (ii) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Liquidating Trustee after the date of any related Proof of Claim or Interest, or (iii) at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if no Proof of Claim or Interest has been filed and the Liquidating Trustee has not received a written notice of a change of address.

2. Undeliverable Distributions

(a) Holding of Undeliverable Distributions.

If any distribution to a Holder of an Allowed Claim is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions shall be made to such Holder unless and until notification in writing of such Holder’s then-current address is provided. Undeliverable distributions shall be returned and shall remain in the possession of the Liquidating Trust until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable. Undeliverable distributions shall not be entitled to any interest, dividends or other accruals of any kind. As soon as reasonably practicable, the Liquidating Trust shall make all distributions that become deliverable.

(b) Failure to Claim Undeliverable Distributions.

Any Holder of an Allowed Claim (irrespective of when a Claim became an Allowed Claim) that does not assert a Claim pursuant hereto for an undeliverable distribution (regardless of when not deliverable) within ninety (90) days after the distribution has been attempted to be made to the Holder of the Allowed Claim shall have its Claim related to such undeliverable distribution discharged and shall be forever barred from asserting any such Claim against any Liquidating Trust or being entitled to any further distribution. In such cases any Cash held for distribution on account of such Claims shall be the property of the Liquidating Trust free of any such Claim. Nothing contained herein shall require the Liquidating Trust or any interested party to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim.

F. Claims Administration Responsibility

1. Reservation of Rights to Object to Claims

Unless a Claim or Interest is expressly described as an Allowed Claim or Interest pursuant to or under this Plan, or otherwise becomes an Allowed Claim or Interest prior to or after the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trust and the Liquidating Trustee (on behalf of the Estate) reserve any and all objections to any and all Claims and Interests and motions or requests for the payment of Claims or Interests, whether administrative expense, priority, secured or unsecured, including, without limitation, any and all objections to the validity or amount of any and all alleged Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims, Priority Claims, Secured Claims, General Unsecured Claims, Interest Related Claims, Interests, Liens and security interests, whether under the Bankruptcy Code, other applicable law or contract. The Liquidating Trust’s and/or the Liquidating Trustee’s failure to object to any Claim or Interest in the Chapter 11 Case shall be without prejudice to the Liquidating Trust’s and the Liquidating Trustee’s rights to

contest or otherwise defend against such Claim or Interest in the Bankruptcy Court when and if such Claim or Interest is sought to be enforced by the Holder of such Claim or Interest.

2. Objections to Claims

The Liquidating Trustee at the direction of and in consultation with the Trust Oversight Committee as set forth in the Liquidating Trust Agreement, shall be responsible for administering, disputing, objecting to, compromising or otherwise resolving and making distributions, if any, with respect to all Claims and Interests. Unless otherwise provided in this Plan or by order of the Bankruptcy Court, any objections to Claims or Interests by the Liquidating Trustee will be filed and served not later than the Objection Deadline. In addition, the Liquidating Trust or the Liquidating Trustee may request (and the Bankruptcy Court may grant) an extension of such deadline by filing an ex parte motion with the Bankruptcy Court, based upon a reasonable exercise of his or her business judgment. A motion seeking to extend the deadline to object to any Claim or Interest shall not be deemed an amendment to this Plan.

3. Filing of Objections

An objection to a Claim or Interest shall be deemed properly served on the Holder of such Claim or Interest if the Liquidating Trust or the Liquidating Trustee effect service by any of the following methods: (i) in accordance with Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as modified and made applicable by Bankruptcy Rule 7004; (ii) to the extent counsel for such Holder is unknown, by first class mail, postage prepaid, on the signatory on the Proof of Claim or Interest or other representative identified on the Proof of Claim or Interest or any attachment thereto; or (iii) by first class mail, postage prepaid, on any counsel that has appeared on the behalf of such Holder in the Chapter 11 Case.

4. Determination of Claims

Any Claim as to which a Proof of Claim or Interests or motion or request for payment was timely filed in the Chapter 11 Case may be determined and liquidated pursuant to (i) an order of the Bankruptcy Court, (ii) applicable bankruptcy law, (iii) agreement of the parties, (iv) applicable non-bankruptcy law, or (v) the lack of (a) an objection to such Claim or Interest, (b) an application to equitably subordinate such Claim, and (c) an application to otherwise limit recovery with respect to such Claim or Interest, filed by the Debtors, the Liquidating Trust or the Liquidating Trustee on or prior to any applicable deadline for filing such objection or application with respect to such Claim or Interest. Any such Claim or Interest determined to be Allowed, shall be deemed to be an Allowed Claim for such liquidated amount (so long as such determination has not been stayed, reversed or amended and as to which determination (or any revision, modification or amendment thereof) the time to appeal or seek review or rehearing has expired and as to which no appeal or petition for review or rehearing was filed or, if filed, remains pending) and shall be satisfied in accordance with this Plan. Nothing contained in this Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Claim, right or Cause of Action that the Debtors or the Liquidating Trustee may have against any Person in connection with or arising out of any Claim or Claims, including, without limitation, any rights under 28 U.S.C. § 157.

G. Procedures for Treating and Resolving Disputed and Contingent Claims or Interests

1. No Distributions Pending Allowance

No payments or distributions will be made with respect to all or any portion of a Disputed Claim or Interest unless and until all objections to such Disputed Claim or Interest have been settled or withdrawn or have been determined by a Final Order, and the Disputed Claim or Interest has become an Allowed Claim or Interest; provided, however, that in the event that only a portion of such Claim or Interest is an Allowed Claim or Interest, the Disbursing Agent may make, in his or her discretion, a distribution pursuant to the Plan on account of the portion of such Claim or Interest that becomes an Allowed Claim or Interest.

2. Claim Estimation

The Liquidating Trustee may request estimation or liquidation of any Disputed Claim that is contingent or unliquidated pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 502(c); provided, however, that the Bankruptcy Court shall determine (i) whether such Disputed Claim is subject to estimation pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 502(c), and (ii) the timing and procedures for such estimation proceedings, if any.

H. Setoffs and Recoupment

The Liquidating Trustee may, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 558 or applicable non-bankruptcy law, but shall not be required to, setoff against or recoup from any Claim on which payments are to be made pursuant to this Plan, any claims or Causes of Action of any nature whatsoever the Debtors may have against the Holder of such Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to effect such setoff or recoupment nor the allowance of any Claim shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors of any setoff or recoupment the Debtors may have against the Holder of such Claim, nor of any other claim or Cause of Action.

I. Allowance and Disallowance of Claims Subject to Bankruptcy Code § 502

Allowance and disallowance of Claims shall be in all respects subject to the provisions of Bankruptcy Code § 502, including, without limitation, subsections (b), (d), (e), (g), (h) and (i) thereof.

J. Cancellation of Instruments and Agreements

Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided herein, all promissory notes, shares, certificates, instruments, indentures, stock or agreements evidencing, giving rise to or governing any Claim or Interest shall be deemed canceled and annulled without further act or action under any applicable agreement, law, regulation, order or rule; the obligations of the Debtors under such promissory notes, share certificates, instruments, indentures or agreements shall be discharged and the Holders thereof shall have no rights against the Debtors, the Estates, the Liquidating Trustee, the Trust Oversight Committee, and/or the Liquidating Trust; and such promissory notes, share certificates, instruments, indentures or agreements shall evidence no such rights, except the right to receive the distributions provided for in this Plan.

K. Withholding Taxes

The Liquidating Trustee shall be entitled to deduct any federal, state or local withholding taxes from any payments under this Plan. As a condition to making any distribution under this Plan, the Liquidating Trustee may require that the Holder of an Allowed Claim provide such Holder’s taxpayer identification number and such other information and certification as the Liquidating Trustee may deem necessary to comply with applicable tax reporting and withholding laws.

L. Reports

From the Effective Date, until a Final Decree is entered, the Liquidating Trustee shall submit quarterly reports to the United States Trustee setting forth all receipts and disbursements of the Liquidating Trust as required by the United States Trustee guidelines.

M. Distribution Record Date

As of the close of business on the applicable Distribution Record Date, the transfer register for all Claims maintained by the Debtors or their agents, shall be closed, and there shall be no further changes in the Record Holders of any such Claims. Moreover, the Liquidating Trust shall have no obligation to recognize the transfer of any such Claims occurring after the applicable Distribution Record Date and shall be entitled for all purposes herein to recognize and deal only with those Holders of record as of the close of business on the applicable Distribution Record Date.

N. Timing and Calculation of Amounts to be Distributed

Except as otherwise provided herein, on the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, each Holder of an Allowed Claim against the Debtors shall receive the distributions that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims in the applicable Class, provided however, the Liquidating Trust shall maintain reserve accounts in trust for the payment or distribution on account of potential or Disputed Claims and shall make the appropriate adjustments in distributions to adequately take into consideration and fund such reserve accounts. The Liquidating Trust shall be authorized to make interim distributions and any subsequent distributions necessary to distribute any Cash, or other consideration held in any reserve account to the appropriate Claim Holder as Claims are resolved and Allowed and reserves are reduced in accordance with the Plan.

O. Settlement of Claims and Controversies

Pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9019 and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of this Plan shall constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of claims and/or controversies relating to the contractual, legal and subordination rights that a Holder of a Claim may have with respect to any Allowed Claim, or any distribution to be made on account of any such Allowed Claim.

Nothing contained in this Article IX shall prohibit the Holder of a Disputed Claim or Interest from litigating its right to seek to have such Disputed Claim or Interest declared an Allowed Claim and paid in accordance with the distribution provisions of this Plan, or enjoin or prohibit the enforcement by the Holder of such Disputed Claim of any of the obligations of the Debtors, the Liquidating Trustee or the Liquidating Trust under this Plan. The Confirmation Order shall also constitute an injunction enjoining any Person from enforcing or attempting to enforce any claim or cause of action against the Debtors or any property of the Debtors based on, arising from or related to any failure to pay, or make provision for payment of, any amount payable with respect to any Priority Tax Claim on which the payments due under this Plan have been made or are not yet due under Article II.B.2 of this Plan.
