The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the “Creditors’ Committee”) of MagnaChip
Semiconductor Finance Company; MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC; MagnaChip Semiconductor SA Holdings
LLC; MagnaChip Semiconductor, Inc.; MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A.; and MagnaChip Semiconductor B.V.
(collectively, the “Debtors”), appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to Section 1102 of the
Bankruptcy Code, hereby propose the following Plan of Reorganization pursuant to chapter 11 of
title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq. (the “Committee’s Plan”):
I.
INTRODUCTION1
The Committee’s Plan provides for the satisfaction of Claims against the Debtors through (a)
the issuance of a New Term Loan in full and complete satisfaction of the First Lien Lender Claims,
(b) the conversion of the Second Lien Noteholder Claims and Subordinated Note Claims to the Second
Lien Noteholder Distribution and the Subordinated Note Distribution, respectively, and (c) the
Offering. Upon the Effective Date of the Committee’s Plan, the liens of the First Lien Lender
Parties and the Second Lien Noteholders shall be released and extinguished, and the Second Lien
Guarantees in favor of the Second Lien Noteholders from the Non-Korean Guarantors and the
Subordinated Note Guaranties in favor of the Holders of the Subordinated Note Claims shall be
released; provided, however, that the Liens securing the First Lien Lender Secured Claims
shall remain in effect for the sole purpose of securing the New Term Loan. In addition, the Korean
Guarantee shall be released as of the Effective Date.
The Committee’s Disclosure Statement, distributed with the Committee’s Plan, contains a
discussion of the Debtors’ history, a summary of the Debtors’ assets and liabilities, a summary of
what Holders of Claims and Interests will receive under the Committee’s Plan and the Joint Chapter
11 Plan of Liquidation Proposed by MagnaChip Semiconductor Finance Company, et al. and UBS AG,
Stamford Branch, As Creditor Agreement Agent and Priority Lien Collateral Agent (the “Debtors’
Plan”), a discussion of certain alternatives to the Committee’s Plan, and a summary of the
procedures and voting requirements necessary for Confirmation of the Committee’s Plan. The
Disclosure Statement is intended to provide Holders of Claims and Interests with information
sufficient to enable such Holders to vote on the Committee’s
Plan and the Debtors’ Plan. All
Holders of Claims entitled to vote on the Committee’s Plan are encouraged to carefully read the
Committee’s Disclosure Statement and the Committee’s Plan before voting to accept or reject the
Committee’s Plan. No solicitation materials, other than the Committee’s Disclosure Statement and
related materials transmitted herewith and approved by the Bankruptcy Court, have been authorized
for use in soliciting acceptance or rejection of the Committee’s Plan.

agreement of the parties. All postpetition payments by or on behalf of any of the Debtors in
respect of an Administrative Expense or Tax Claim shall either reduce the Allowed amount thereof or
reduce the amount to be paid under the Committee’s Plan in respect of any Allowed amount thereof;
and, unless the Bankruptcy Court has specified otherwise prior to Confirmation, the Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors shall, in their sole and absolute discretion, determine which such method of
application to employ.
14
B. Administrative Expenses
Under the Committee’s Plan, on the Effective Date, each Holder of an Allowed Administrative
Expense will receive, in full satisfaction, settlement and release of such Allowed Administrative
Expense, Cash equal to the full amount of such Allowed Administrative Expense, unless such Holder
and any of the Debtors have mutually agreed in writing to other terms, or an order of the
Bankruptcy Court provides for other terms; provided, however, that (a) requests for payment of all
Administrative Expenses must be filed and served as described in
Article XIV(B)(3) of the
Committee’s Plan, and (b) certain different and additional requirements shall apply to the
Administrative Expenses that are Fee Claims as set forth in
Article XIV(B)(2) of the Committee’s
Plan.
C.
Superpriority Claims
No distributions to the First Lien Lender Parties shall be made on account of any
Superpriority Claims except as set forth in Article IV(B)(3) of the Committee’s Plan.
D. Tax Claims
Pursuant to section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Tax Claims are not to be
classified and thus Holders of Tax Claims are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the
Committee’s Plan.
As required by section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, on or as soon as practicable after
the Effective Date, each Holder of an Allowed Tax Claim against any of the Debtors will receive, at
the sole option of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, (i) on the Effective Date, or as soon
thereafter as is practicable, Cash in an amount equal to such Allowed Tax Claim or, (ii) commencing
on the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as is practicable, and continuing over a period not
exceeding five (5) years from and after the Petition Date, equal semi-annual Cash payments in an
aggregate amount equal to such Allowed Tax Claim, together with interest for the period after the
Effective Date at the rate determined under applicable non-bankruptcy law as of the calendar month
in which the Plan is confirmed, subject to the sole option of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors to
prepay the entire amount of the Allowed Tax Claim. Any Allowed Tax Claim (or portion thereof) not
yet due and payable as of the Effective Date will be paid by the Reorganized Debtors in the
ordinary course of business as such obligations become due. Any Holder of an Allowed Tax Claim may
agree to accept different treatment as to which the Debtors and such Holder have agreed upon in
writing.
IV.
CLASSIFICATION AND TREATMENT OF CLASSIFIED CLAIMS AND INTERESTS
The categories of Claims and Interests listed below classify Claims and Interests for all
purposes, including voting, confirmation and distribution pursuant to the Committee’s Plan and
pursuant to sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. A Claim or Interest is classified
in a particular Class only to the extent that the Claim or Interest qualifies with the description
of that Class and is classified in other Classes only to the extent that any remainder of
15
the Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of such other Classes. A Claim or Interest
is also classified in a particular Class only to the extent that such Claim or Interest is an
Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest in that Class and has not been paid, released or otherwise
satisfied prior to the Effective Date.
In accordance with section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Committee’s Plan provides for the
classification of seven Classes of Claims and/or Interests against each Debtor. For purposes of
voting and distribution, each Debtor will be assigned a subclass of each Class as follows: (A) LLC;
(B) Holdco; (C) MSA; (D) Luxco; (E) Finco; and (F) Dutchco. Administrative Expenses, Superpriority
Claims and Tax Claims have not been classified and are excluded from the following Classes in
accordance with section 1123(a)(I) of the Bankruptcy Code.
B. |

Classification and Treatment of Claims and Interests |
The treatment of each Class of Claims and/or Interests is set forth below. Unless the
Bankruptcy Court has specified otherwise prior to Confirmation, the Debtors shall, in their sole
and absolute discretion, determine whether a postpetition payment by or on behalf of any of the
Debtors in respect of a Claim either (x) shall reduce the Allowed amount thereof or (y) shall
reduce the amount to be paid under the Committee’s Plan in respect of any Allowed amount thereof.
1.
Class 1 (A-F) — Priority Non-Tax Claims
a. Classification: Classes 1 (A-F) consist of all Priority Non-Tax Claims
against any of the Debtors.
b. Treatment: The Holder of each Priority Non-Tax Claim shall receive, in
full satisfaction, settlement and release of such Priority Non-Tax Claim, a Cash payment equal
to the Allowed amount of such Claim on or as soon as practicable after the later of the Effective
Date or the date upon which the Bankruptcy Court enters a Final Order determining or allowing
such Claim. Any Holder of a Priority Non-Tax Claim may agree to accept different treatment as
to which the Debtors and such Holder have agreed upon in writing.
c. Impairment/Voting: Classes 1 (A-F) are impaired. Holders of Class 1 (A-
F) Claims therefore are therefore entitled to vote to accept or reject the Committee’s Plan.
2. Class 2
(A-F) — Other Secured Claims
a. Classification: Classes 2 (A-F) consist of all Other Secured Claims (if any
such Claims exist) against any of the Debtors.
b. Treatment: Except to the extent that a holder of an Allowed Other
Secured Claim agrees to a different treatment, at the sole option of the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors, (i) on the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is practicable, each Allowed Other
Secured Claim shall be reinstated and rendered Unimpaired in accordance with section 1124(2) of the
Bankruptcy Code, (ii) each holder of an Allowed Other Secured Claim shall receive Cash in an amount
equal to such Allowed Other Secured Claim, including any
16
interest on such Allowed Other Secured Claim required to be paid pursuant to section 506(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code, on the later of the Effective Date and the date such Allowed Other Secured Claim
becomes an Allowed Other Secured Claim, or as soon thereafter as is practicable or (iii) each
holder of an Allowed Other Secured Claim shall receive the Collateral securing its Allowed Other
Secured Claim and any interest on such Allowed Other Secured Claim required to be paid pursuant to
section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, in full and complete satisfaction of such Allowed Other
Secured Claim on the later of the Effective Date and the date such Allowed Other Secured Claim
becomes an Allowed Other Secured Claim, or as soon thereafter as is practicable.
c. Impairment Voting: Classes 2 (A-F) are impaired. Holders of Class 2 (A-F)
Claims are therefore entitled to vote to accept or reject the Committee’s Plan.
3. Class 3 (A-F) — First Lien Lender Secured Claims
a. Classification: Classes 3 (A-F) consist of the First Lien Lender Secured
Claims against any of the Debtors.
b. Treatment: On the Effective Date, in connection with the enforcement of
the First Lien Lender Secured Claims, each First Lien Lender Party shall receive a Cash payment
equal to 35% of its First Lien Lender Secured Claim, plus its Pro Rata share of the New Term Loan,
in full and complete satisfaction of such First Lien Lender Secured Claim. All distributions to the
First Lien Lender Parties under the Committee’s Plan shall be effectuated through the Agent. The
Liens securing the First Lien Lender Secured Claims will remain in effect and will secure the New
Term Loan. The First Lien Lender Secured Claims, together with any Deficiency Claims of the First
Lien Lender Parties, are deemed Allowed in the full amount reflected on the Agent’s books and
records as of the Record Date.
c. Impairment/Voting: Classes 3 (A-F) are Impaired. Holders of Class 3 (A-F)
Claims are therefore entitled to vote to accept or reject the Committee’s Plan.
4. Classes 4 (A-F) — Second Lien Noteholder Claims
a. Classification: Classes 4 (A-F) consist of the Second Lien Noteholder
Claims against any of the Debtors.

Second Lien Noteholder Claim, each Second Lien Noteholder shall receive its Pro Rata share of
5% of the New Common Units, subject to dilution on account of the Long-Term Incentive Plan.
The Second Lien Noteholder Claims will be exchanged for the New Common Units in LLC and
LLC will then receive PECs from Luxco in exchange for the cancellation of such Second Lien
Noteholder Claims. In addition, each Eligible Holder of a Second Lien Noteholder Claim shall
be entitled to participate in the Offering pursuant to the terms of the Offering Procedures.
However, to the extent that the Offering Participants do not exercise the Subscription Rights
by the Effective Date, the Backstop Purchaser, subject to the terms and conditions of the
Backstop Commitment Agreement, shall subscribe for and purchase all Unsubscribed Units as of the
Subscription Expiration Date.
17
Notwithstanding anything contained in the Committee’s Plan, as described above, only
Accredited Investors that are holders of Second Lien Noteholder Claims will be entitled to
participate in the Offering. No payment in lieu of the Subscription Rights will be made to any
holder of a Second Lien Noteholder Claim that is not an Accredited Investor and therefore unable to
subscribe for New Common Units pursuant to the Offering.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reorganized Debtors shall pay, on or as soon as reasonably
practicable after the Effective Date, all Indenture Trustee Fees and Expenses arising under the
Second Lien Notes Indenture, in full in Cash, without application to or approval of the Bankruptcy
Court. All distributions to the Second Lien Noteholders under the Committee’s Plan, except in
connection with the Offering, shall be effectuated though the Second Lien Noteholder Trustee (i.e.,
the Reorganized Debtors shall distribute the portion of the New Common Units payable to the Second
Lien Noteholders to the Second Lien Noteholder Trustee and the Second Lien Noteholder Trustee shall
make proportionate distributions thereof to the Second Lien Noteholders), Pursuant to section
5.1(a)(2) of the Intercreditor Agreement, the existing Liens securing the Second Lien Noteholder
Claims shall be released and extinguished effective as of the Effective Date and of no further
force or effect. Notwithstanding any subordination or intercreditor agreement applicable under
nonbankruptcy law, the Holders of Second Lien Noteholder Claims shall receive the Second Lien
Noteholder Distribution as described herein. In addition, the distributions to Holders of Second
Lien Noteholder Claims and the surrender of Second Lien Notes by Luxco to the Second Lien
Noteholder Trustee, as described in Article VIII.I herein, shall constitute a satisfaction and
discharge of the Second Lien Indenture pursuant to section 12.05(d) of the Second Lien Indenture.
Impairment/Voting: Classes 4 (A-F) are Impaired. Holders of Class 4 (A-F) Claims are
therefore entitled to vote to accept or reject the Committee’s Plan.
5.
Class 5 (A-F) — General Unsecured Claims
a. Classification: Classes 5 (A-F) consist of the General Unsecured Claims
against any of the Debtors.
b. Treatment: The Holder of each Class 5 (A-F) Claim shall receive, as a gift
from the Holders of Second Lien Noteholder Claims, in full satisfaction, settlement and
release of such Class 5 (A-F) Claim, a Cash payment equal to 10% of the Allowed amount of such
Claim on or as soon as practicable after the later of the Effective Date or the date upon
which the Bankruptcy Court enters a Final Order determining or allowing such Claim; provided,
however, that the aggregate Cash payments to Holders of Class 5 (A-F) Claims shall not exceed $324,000.
Any Holder of a Class 5 (A-F) Claim may agree to accept different treatment as to which the
Debtors and such Holder have agreed upon in writing.
c. Impairment/Voting: Classes 5 (A-F) are Impaired. Holders of Class 5 (A-F) Claims are therefore entitled to vote to accept or reject the Committee’s Plan.
6. Class 6 (A-F) — Subordinated Note Claims
a. Classification: Classes 6 (A-F) consist of the Subordinated Note Claims
against any of the Debtors.
18
Treatment:
On the Effective Date,_in connection with the enforcement of the
Subordinated Note Claims, each Subordinated Noteholder shall receive, as a gift from the Second
Lien Noteholders, (i) its Pro Rata share of 1% of the New Common Units, subject to dilution on
account of the Long-Term Incentive Plan, and (ii) warrants to purchase 5% of the New Common Units
with a strike price equivalent to a $600 million total enterprise value, in full and complete
satisfaction of such Subordinated Noteholder Claim. The Subordinated Noteholder Claims will be
exchanged for the New Common Units and Warrants in LLC and LLC will then receive PECs from Luxco in
exchange for the cancellation of such Subordinated Noteholder Claims.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reorganized Debtors shall pay, on or as soon as reasonably
practicable after the Effective Date, all Indenture Trustee Fees and Expenses arising under the
Subordinated Notes Indenture, in full in Cash, without application to or approval of the Bankruptcy
Court. Notwithstanding any subordination or intercreditor agreement applicable under nonbankruptcy
law, the Holders of Subordinated Note Claims shall receive the Subordinated Note Distribution as
described herein as a gift from the Second Lien Noteholders. In addition, the distributions to
holders of Subordinated Note Claims and the surrender of Subordinated Notes by Luxco to the
Subordinated Note Trustee, as described in Article VIII.I herein, shall constitute a satisfaction
and discharge of the Subordinated Note Indenture under section 12.05(d) of the Subordinated Note
Indenture.
b. Impairment/Voting: Class 6 is Impaired. Holders of Class 6 Claims are
therefore entitled to vote to accept or reject the Committee’s Plan.
7. Class 7 (A-F) — Intercompany Claims against the Debtors
a. Classification: Classes 7 (A-F) consist of Intercompany Claims of
Debtors and Non-Debtor Subsidiaries against the Debtors.

Intercompany Claims, at the election of the Reorganized Debtors, shall be (i) adjusted,
released, waived and/or discharged as of the Effective Date, (ii) contributed to the capital of the
obligor, or
(iii) reinstated and left Unimpaired; provided, however, that Intercompany Claims of
the Debtors, the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries, and the Reorganized Debtors shall at all times remain
subordinated to the security interests of the holders of the New Term Loan.
c. Impairment/Voting: Classes 7 (A-F) are Impaired. Because Holders of
Class 7 (A-F) Claims receive no recovery on account of such Claims under the Committee’s
Plan, they are conclusively presumed to reject the Committee’s Plan.
8. Class 8
(A-F) — Interests in the Debtors
a.
Classification: Classes 8 (A-F) consist of Interests in the Debtors.
b. Treatment: Holders of Interests in the Debtors shall receive no
distributions or recoveries on account of such Interests and Interests on account of LLC shall
be extinguished on the Effective Date. Interests of each Debtor, other than LLC, will continue to
exist and not be extinguished.
19
c. Impairment/Voting: Classes 8 (A-F) are Impaired. Because Holders of Interests
in Class 8 (A-F) receive no recovery on account of such Interests under the Committee’s Plan, they
are conclusively presumed to reject the Committee’s Plan.

respect to executory contracts or unexpired leases that have been assumed by the Debtors, (iii) for
purposes of evidencing a right to distributions under the Committee’s Plan, or (iv) with respect to
any Claim that is rendered Unimpaired under the Committee’s Plan, on the Effective Date, the Second
Lien Indenture and Subordinated Note Indenture, all Interests of LLC and other instruments
evidencing any Claims against the Debtors and Non-Debtor Subsidiaries shall be deemed automatically
cancelled without further act or action under any applicable agreement, law, regulation, order or
rule and the obligations of the Debtors and Non-Debtor Subsidiaries thereunder shall be discharged;
provided, however, the Second Lien Notes and the Subordinated Notes will be exchanged for the New
Common Units in the LLC and the LLC will then receive PECs from the Luxco in exchange for the
cancellation of such debt and the Holders thereof shall have no further rights or entitlements in
respect thereof against the Debtors or Non-Debtor Subsidiaries except the rights to receive the
distributions to be made to such Holders under the Committee’s Plan and all guarantees or liens
against Non-Debtor Subsidiaries shall be automatically released. The First Lien Credit Agreement
shall be amended and restated such that the amended and restated
First Lien Credit Agreement shall evidence the New Term Loan and the existing Claims under the First Lien Credit Agreement shall be
converted to Claims under the New Term Loan. Distributions to be made under the Committee’s Plan to
the beneficial owners of the Second Lien Indenture and the Subordinated Note Indenture shall be

and make distributions under the Indenture on account of allowed Claims based upon the Indenture.
As of the Effective Date, the Second Lien Indenture and the Subordinated Note Indenture shall be
deemed fully satisfied, discharged and cancelled, except that such cancellation shall not impair
the rights of the Holders of the Second Lien Noteholder Claims or the Subordinated Note Claims to
receive distributions under the Committee’s Plan, or the obligations of the Second Lien Noteholder
Trustee or the Subordinated Note Trustee to discharge Liens, the Second Lien Guarantees and the
Subordinated Note Guarantees. All Liens and Second Lien Guarantees in favor of the Second Lien
Indenture for the benefit of the Holders of the Second Lien Claims or otherwise arising under the
Second Lien Indenture shall be deemed released, satisfied and discharged. In addition, all Liens,
if any, and Subordinated Note Guarantees in favor of the Subordinated Note Indenture for the
benefit of the Holders of the Subordinated Note Claims or otherwise arising under the Subordinated
Note Indenture shall be deemed released, satisfied and discharged.

of the LLC Agreement. As provided in the Postconfirmation Organizational Documents, the New Common
Units shall be subject to certain restrictions on transfer. As provided in the Postconfirmation
Organizational Documents, which are incorporated herein by

Bankruptcy Code, the Postconfirmation Organizational Documents shall provide that the Reorganized
Debtors shall not issue nonvoting equity securities to the extent prohibited by section 1123(a)(6)
of the Bankruptcy Code.
Upon the Effective Date, the amended and restated limited liability company operating
agreement of LLC (the “LLC Agreement”) and the Registration Rights Agreement shall each be deemed
to become valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, and each holder
of New Common Units shall be bound thereby, in each case, without need for execution by any party
thereto other than the Backstop Purchaser and LLC, to the extent required. Also upon the Effective

Term Loan and the existing Claims under the First Lien Credit Agreement shall be converted to
Claims under the New Term Loan.
B. Release of Second Liens/Second Lien Guaranties/Subordinated Note Guaranties
1. Release of Liens
On the Effective Date, all Liens securing the Second Lien Noteholder Claims shall be deemed

Collateral Trustee shall be authorized and directed to release any collateral or other property
held by them on behalf of Holders of the Second Lien Noteholder Claims and to take such actions and
execute and deliver such documents as may be requested by the Creditors’ Committee or the
Reorganized Debtors to evidence the release of all Liens securing the Second Lien Noteholder

documents as may be requested by the Debtors to release any collateral or other property of the
Debtors held by the Second Lien Noteholder Trustee. In addition, the Korean Guarantee shall be
released as of the Effective Date. The distributions to holders of Second Lien
23
Noteholder Claims and the surrender of Second Lien Notes to the Second Lien Noteholder

deemed to have forever waived, released, and discharged the Debtors, to the fullest extent
permitted by section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, of and from any and all Claims, Interests,
rights, and liabilities that arose prior to the Effective Date. Upon the Effective Date, all such
persons shall be forever precluded and enjoined, pursuant to section 524 of the Bankruptcy Code,

but without giving effect to the Warrants to be issued to holders of Subordinated Note Claims, the
amount of the equity ownership of LLC represented by the New Common Units to be offered pursuant to
the exercise of Subscription Rights is 84% of the equity of LLC (the “Offering Available Equity”),
subject to dilution on account of the Long-Term Incentive Plan; provided that, under the Backstop
Commitment Agreement, the Minimum Allocation to be available for sale to the Backstop Purchaser is
67% of the Offering Available Equity, or approximately 56.28% of the New Common Units, subject to
dilution on account of the Long-Term Incentive Plan. Accordingly, after giving effect to the
Minimum Allocation, the percentage of the equity of LLC represented by the New Common Units
available in the Offering to Offering Participants other than the Backstop Purchaser is
approximately 27.72% of the New Common Units, subject to dilution on account of the Long-Term
Incentive Plan. Since the Backstop Purchaser is entitled to a Minimum Allocation of 67% of the
Subscription Rights, if more than 33% of the Subscription Rights are subscribed for by Eligible
Holders other than the Backstop Purchaser, then the Subscription Rights to be purchased by each
such Eligible Holder will be reduced on a pro rata basis so that the amount to be purchased by all
such Eligible Holders equals 33% of the aggregate number of Subscription Rights. Each such Eligible
Holder
25
will be notified of the reduced subscription amount and the difference in payment will be refunded
to such Eligible Holder without interest. Offering Participants have the right, but not the
obligation, to participate in the Offering as provided herein.
However, to the extent that the Offering Participants do not exercise the Subscription Rights
by the Subscription Expiration Date, the Backstop Purchaser, subject to the terms and conditions of
the Backstop Commitment Agreement, shall subscribe for and purchase all Unsubscribed Units as of
the Subscription Expiration Date. No payment in lieu of the Subscription Rights will be made to any
holder of a Second Lien Noteholder Claim that is not an Accredited Investor and therefore unable to
subscribe for New Common Units pursuant to the Offering.
2. Subscription Period
The Offering shall commence on the Subscription Commencement Date and shall expire on the
Subscription Expiration Date. Each Offering Participant intending to participate in the Offering
must affirmatively elect to exercise its Subscription Rights on or prior to the Subscription
Expiration Date. After the Subscription Expiration Date, the Unsubscribed Units shall be treated as
acquired by the Backstop Purchaser in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions
contained in the Backstop Commitment Agreement and the Committee’s Plan, and any exercise of such
Subscription Rights by any entity other than the Backstop Purchaser or any of its affiliates or any
permitted assignee of the Backstop Purchaser’s rights under the Backstop Commitment Agreement shall
be null and void and there shall be no obligation to honor any such purported exercise received by
the Subscription Agent after the Subscription Expiration Date, regardless of when the documents
relating to such exercise were sent.
3. Subscription Purchase Price
Each Offering Participant choosing to exercise its Subscription Rights shall be required to
pay such participant’s Subscription Purchase Price for New Common Units.
4. Exercise of Subscription Rights
In order to exercise the Subscription Rights, each Offering Participant must return a duly
completed Subscription Form and Subscription Agreement to the Subscription Agent so that such form
is actually received by the Subscription Agent on or before the Subscription Expiration Date. Each
such Offering Participant must tender the Offering Participant’s Subscription Purchase Price to the
Subscription Agent so that it is actually received by the Subscription Expiration Date. The
Offering Participant’s Subscription Purchase Price must be paid in accordance with the wire
instructions set forth on the Subscription Form or by bank or cashier’s check delivered to the
Subscription Agent. Each Offering Participant may exercise all or any portion of such Offering
Participant’s Subscription Rights pursuant to the Subscription Form, but the exercise of any
Subscription Rights shall be irrevocable. If the Subscription Agent for any reason does not receive
from a given Offering Participant (a) a duly completed Subscription Form on or prior to the
Subscription Expiration Date, and (b) immediately available funds in an amount equal to such
Offering Participant’s Subscription Purchase Price on or prior to the
26
Subscription Expiration Date, such Offering Participant shall be deemed to have relinquished and
waived its right to participate in the Offering. The payments made in accordance with the Offering
shall be deposited and held by the Subscription Agent in a trust account, or similarly segregated
account or accounts which shall be separate and apart from the Subscription Agent’s general
operating funds and any other funds subject to any lien or similar encumbrance and which segregated
account or accounts will be maintained for the purpose of holding the money for administration of
the Offering until the Effective Date, or such other later date, at the option of the Creditors’
Committee, but not later than twenty (20) days after the Effective Date. The Subscription Agent
shall not use such funds for any other purpose prior to such date and shall not encumber or permit
such funds to be encumbered with any lien or similar encumbrance.
In order to facilitate the exercise of the Subscription Rights, on the Subscription
Commencement Date, the Subscription Form will be provided by mail, electronic mail, or facsimile
transmission to (i) each holder of a Second Lien Noteholder Claim that the Creditors’ Committee
knows to be an Eligible Holder and (ii) to each holder of a Second Lien Noteholder Claim who
identifies itself to the Subscription Agent as an Eligible Holder, together with appropriate
instructions for the proper completion, due execution and timely delivery of the Subscription Form,
as well as instructions for the payment of the applicable Subscription Purchase Price for that
portion of the Subscription Rights sought to be exercised by such Eligible Holder.
5. Offering Procedures
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Creditors’ Committee, with the
consent of the Backstop Purchaser, may modify the procedures relating to the Offering or adopt such
additional detailed procedures consistent with the provisions of this Article VI(D) to more
efficiently administer the exercise of the Subscription Rights; provided, however, that the
Creditors’ Committee shall be provided prompt written notice to the Offering Participants of any
material modification to such procedures.
6. Transfer Restriction: Revocation
The Subscription Rights are not transferable. Any such transfer or attempted transfer will be
null and void, and no purported transferee will be treated as the holder of any Subscription
Rights. Once an Offering Participant has properly exercised its Subscription Rights, such exercise
cannot be revoked.
7. Offering Backstop
Subject to the terms and conditions in the Backstop Commitment Agreement, the Backstop
Purchaser has agreed to subscribe for and purchase on the Effective Date, at the aggregate
Subscription Purchase Price therefor, its Backstop Commitment (as set forth on Schedule 1 to the
Backstop Commitment Agreement) of all Unsubscribed Units as of the Subscription Expiration Date.
The Backstop Purchaser shall pay to the Subscription Agent, by wire transfer in immediately
available funds on or prior to the Effective Date, Cash in an amount equal to the aggregate
Subscription Purchase Price attributable to such Unsubscribed Units as provided in the Backstop
Commitment Agreement. The Subscription Agent shall deposit such
27
payment into the same trust account into which were deposited the Subscription Purchase Price
payments of Offering Participants on the exercise of their Subscription Rights. The Debtors and the
Subscription Agent shall give the Backstop Purchaser by e-mail and electronic facsimile
transmission written notification setting forth either (i) a true and accurate calculation of the
number of Unsubscribed Units, and the aggregate Subscription Purchase Price therefor (a “Purchase
Notice”) or (ii) in the absence of any Unsubscribed Units, the fact that there are no Unsubscribed
Units and that the Backstop Commitments are terminated (a “Satisfaction Notice”) as soon as
practicable after the Subscription Expiration Date. In addition, the Subscription Agent shall
notify the Backstop Purchaser, on each Friday during the Subscription Period, on each Business Day
during the five (5) Business Days prior to the Subscription Expiration Date (and any extensions
thereto) or more frequently if requested by the Backstop Purchaser, of the aggregate number of
Subscription Rights known by the Subscription Agent to have been exercised pursuant to the Offering
as of the close of business on the preceding Business Day or the most recent practicable time
before such request, as the case may be. The Subscription Agent shall determine the number of
Unsubscribed Units, if any, in good faith, and provide the Backstop Purchaser with a Purchase
Notice or a Satisfaction Notice that accurately reflects the number of Unsubscribed Units as so
determined. On the Effective Date, the Backstop Purchaser will purchase only such number of
Unsubscribed Units as are listed in the Purchase Notice, without prejudice to the rights of the
Backstop Purchaser to seek later an upward or downward adjustment if the number of Unsubscribed
Units in such Purchase Notice is inaccurate. Delivery of the Unsubscribed Units will be made to the
account of the Backstop Purchaser (or to such other accounts as the Backstop Purchaser may
designate) on the Effective Date against payment of the aggregate Subscription Purchase Price for
the Unsubscribed Units by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account in the
United States specified by the Debtors to the Backstop Purchaser at least 24 hours in advance. All
Unsubscribed Units will be delivered with any and all issue, stamp, transfer or similar taxes or
duties payable in connection with such delivery duly paid by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors
to the extent required under the Confirmation Order or applicable law. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the Backstop Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may designate
that some or all of the Unsubscribed Units be issued in the name of, and delivered to, one or more
of its affiliates, or to other financial institutions reasonably acceptable to Debtors.
The obligations of the Backstop Purchaser are subject to certain conditions including, among
other things, the entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court on or before September 25, 2009, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Backstop Purchaser and its counsel, approving the Backstop
Commitment Agreement and the Committee’s Plan, which order shall become a final order not subject
to stay, appeal or modification on or before October 7, 2009.
8. Backstop Fees and Expenses/Backstop Units
In consideration for its agreement to backstop the Offering, in the event the Committee’s Plan
is confirmed and the Effective Date occurs, the Backstop Purchaser shall receive the Standby
Commitment Fee to be allocated in the manner set forth in the Backstop Commitment Agreement. The
Standby Commitment Fee shall be deemed fully earned and payable in full on the Effective Date and
following the entry of the Backstop Approval Order and Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court,
regardless of whether the Offering is fully subscribed by eligible holders of the Second Lien
Noteholder Claims.
28
Under the Backstop Commitment Agreement, if the Committee’s Plan is confirmed and becomes
effective, on the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall pay the reasonable and documented
fees, expenses, disbursements and charges of the Backstop Purchaser incurred after July 29, 2009
relating to the exploration and discussion of alternative financing structures to the Backstop
Commitment or to the preparation and negotiation of the Backstop Commitment Agreement, the
Committee’s Plan Documents, the Postconfirmation Organizational Documents, and the proposed
documentation and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and financial advisors to the Backstop Purchasers.
9. Distribution of the New Common Units
On the Effective Date, the LLC shall distribute the New Common Units purchased by each
Offering Participant that has properly exercised its Subscription Rights to such holder and to the
Backstop Purchaser. If the exercise of a Subscription Right would result in the issuance of a
fractional share of New Common Units, then the number of shares of New Common Units to be issued in
respect of such Subscription Right will be rounded down to the closest unit.
10. Backstop Purchaser’s Minimum Allocation
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article VI(D) of the Committee’s Plan, the
Backstop Purchaser shall receive the Minimum Allocation of the New Common Units issued pursuant to
the Offering.
11. Private Placement Exemption
The Creditor’s Committee will only make the Offering available to Eligible Holders. Therefore,
the New Common Units issued pursuant to the Offering to the Eligible Holders will be exempt from
registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and Regulation D
promulgated thereunder. Unlike the New Common Units issued to holders of Allowed Claims (Classes
4A-4F and Classes 6A-6F), such New Common Units issued to the Eligible Holders pursuant to the
Offering will not be exempted under section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.
12. Disputed Claims
For all purposes of this Article VI(D), each Offering Participant is entitled to participate
in the Rights Offering solely to the extent of its Offering Pro Rata Share, if any;
provided, however, that the Backstop Purchaser shall receive a minimum allocation
of two-thirds (2/3) of the New Common Units issued pursuant to the Offering.
13. Validity of Exercise of Subscription Rights
All questions concerning the timeliness, viability, form and eligibility of any exercise of
Subscription Rights shall be determined by the Creditors’ Committee, whose good faith
determinations shall be final and binding. The Creditors’ Committee, in its discretion, may waive
any defect or irregularity, or permit a defect or irregularity to be corrected within such times as
they may determine, or reject the purported exercise of any Subscription Rights. Subscription
29
Forms shall be deemed not to have been received or accepted until all irregularities have been
waived or cured within such time as the Creditors’ Committee determines in its discretion. The
Creditors’ Committee will use commercially reasonable efforts to give notice to any Offering
Participants regarding any defect or irregularity in connection with any purported exercise of
Subscription Rights by such participant and, may permit such defect or irregularity to be cured
within such time as they may determine in good faith to be appropriate; provided, however, that
neither the Creditors’ Committee nor the Subscription Agent shall incur any liability for failure
to give such notification
14. Indemnification of Backstop Purchaser
Upon the Effective Date of the Committee’s Plan, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as
the case may be (in such capacity, the “Indemnifying Parties”) shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Backstop Purchaser and each of its respective affiliates, members, partners, officers,
directors, employees, agents, advisors, controlling persons and professionals (each an “Indemnified
Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable expenses,
joint or several, to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in
connection with any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding with respect to the
Offering, the Backstop Commitment Agreement, the Committee’s Plan or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, including without limitation, distribution of the Standby Commitment Fee if any,
distribution of the Subscription Rights, the purchase and sale of New Common Units in the Offering
and purchase and sale of Unsubscribed Units pursuant to the Backstop Commitment Agreement,
regardless of whether any of such Indemnified Persons is a party thereto, and to reimburse such
Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses as they are
incurred in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any of the foregoing,
provided that the foregoing indemnification will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent that they are finally judicially
determined to have resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such
Indemnified Person. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any
Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Indemnifying Parties shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such loss,
claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Parties on the one hand and such Indemnified Person
on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Parties, on the one hand, and
such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. The
relative benefits to the Indemnifying Parties on the one hand and all Indemnified Persons on the
other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (i) the total value received or proposed
to be received by the Debtors pursuant to the sale of New Common Units contemplated by the Backstop
Commitment Agreement bears to (ii) the fee paid or proposed to be paid to the Backstop Purchaser in
connection with such sale. The Indemnifying Parties also agree that no Indemnified Person shall
have any liability based on their exclusive or contributory negligence or otherwise to the
Indemnifying Parties, any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of any of the
Indemnifying Parties, or any other person in connection with or as a result of the Offering or the
transactions contemplated thereby, except as to any Indemnified Person to the extent that any
losses, claims, damages, liability or expenses incurred by the Debtors are finally judicially
determined to have resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person
in performing the services that are the subject
30
of the Backstop Commitment Agreement. The indemnity and reimbursement obligations of the
Indemnifying Parties described in this Article VI(D) shall be in addition to any liability that the
Indemnifying Parties may otherwise have to an Indemnified Person and shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the
Indemnifying Parties and any Indemnified Person.
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to the backstop Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated thereby (“Proceedings”), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to
be made hereunder against the Indemnifying Parties in respect thereof, notify the Indemnifying
Parties in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that (i) the omission so to notify the
Indemnifying Parties will not relieve it from any liability that it may have hereunder except to
the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and (ii) the omission so to notify the
Indemnifying Parties will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified
Person otherwise than on account of the provisions described in this Article VI(D). In case any
such Proceedings are brought against any Indemnified Person and it notifies the Indemnifying Person
of the commencement thereof, if the Indemnifying Parties commits in writing to fully indemnify and
hold harmless the Indemnified Person with respect to such Proceedings without regard to whether the
Effective Date occurs, the Indemnifying Parties will be entitled to participate in such
Proceedings, and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to such Indemnified
Person, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified
Person, provided that if the defendants in any such Proceedings include both such Indemnified
Person and the Indemnifying Parties and such Indemnified Person shall have concluded that there may
be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the
Indemnifying Parties, such Indemnified Person shall have the right to select separate counsel to
assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Proceedings on
behalf of such Indemnified Person. Upon receipt of such indemnification commitment from the
Indemnifying Parties and notice from the Indemnifying Parties to such Indemnified Person of its
election so to assume the defense of such Proceedings and approval by such Indemnified Person of
counsel, the Indemnifying Parties shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for expenses
incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof (other than reasonable
costs of investigation) unless (i) such Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel in
connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next
preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Parties shall not be liable
for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, representing the Indemnified Persons who are
parties to such Proceedings), (ii) the Indemnifying Parties shall not have employed counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person to represent such Indemnified Person at the
Indemnifying Parties’ expense within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the
Proceedings or (iii) the Indemnifying Parties shall have authorized in writing the employment of
counsel for such Indemnified Person.
E. Retained Rights of Action
Unless a Right of Action is in writing, expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised,
or settled in the Committee’s Plan, or in a Final Order, as of the Effective Date, all rights with
respect to such Retained Right of Action are expressly preserved for the benefit of the Reorganized
Debtors.
31
F. Claims Objections
Unless an objection to a Claim is in writing, expressly waived, relinquished, released,
assigned, compromised, or settled in the Committee’s Plan, or in a Final Order, all rights with
respect to such Claim objection are expressly preserved for the benefit of, and fully vested in,
the Reorganized Debtors. The Reorganized Debtors may pursue, or decline to pursue, objections to
Claims, as appropriate, in the business judgment of the Reorganized Debtors and in consultation
with the Plan Proponent. The Reorganized Debtors may settle, release, sell, assign, otherwise
transfer, or compromise objections to Claims without need for notice or order of the Bankruptcy
Court.
G. Corporate Governance
1. General
On the Effective Date, the management, control and operation of the Reorganized Debtors shall
become the general responsibility of the Postconfirmation Board. The Backstop Purchaser has no
current intention of changing current management or their current compensation.
2. Postconfirmation Board
The Postconfirmation Board of each of the Reorganized Debtors shall consist of 5 members,
including the chief executive officer of the Reorganized Debtors, each of whom shall be selected by
the Backstop Purchaser. All directors shall stand for election annually.
3. Filing of Postconfirmation Organizational Documents
On the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as practicable, to the extent necessary, the
Reorganized Debtors shall file their Postconfirmation Organizational Documents, as required or
deemed appropriate, with the appropriate Persons in their respective jurisdictions of incorporation
or establishment.
4. Long-Term Incentive Plan
The Long-Term Incentive Plan will provide for a certain percentage of New Common Units, not to
exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding New Common Units on the Effective Date, to be reserved for
issuance as options, equity or equity-based grants in connection with the Reorganized Debtors’
Long-Term Incentive Plan. The amount of New Common Units, if any, to be issued pursuant to the
Long-Term Incentive Plan, and the terms thereof shall be determined by the Postconfirmation Board.
H. Exemption from Securities Laws
Holders of Allowed Claims in Classes 4A-4F (Second Lien Noteholder Claims) will receive New
Common Units and holders of Allowed Claims in Classes 6A-6F (Subordinated Note Claims) will receive
New Common Units and Warrants pursuant to the Plan. Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code provides an
exemption from the securities registration requirements of
32
federal and state securities laws with respect certain distributions of securities under a plan of
reorganization. Pursuant to the Committee’s Plan, the New Common Units and Warrants issued to
holders of Allowed Claims in Classes 4A-4F (Second Lien Noteholder Claims) and holders of Allowed
Claims in Classes 6A-6F (Subordinated Note Claims) will be exempt from registration under otherwise
applicable federal and state securities laws pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.
As set forth herein, the New Common Units issued pursuant to the Offering to the
Offering Participants will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of
section 4(2) thereof and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
I. Issuance and Resale of New Securities Under the Committee’s Plan
Section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code generally exempts from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the “Securities Act”) the offer or sale of a debtor’s
securities under a chapter 11 plan if such securities are offered or sold in exchange for a claim
against, or an equity interest in, such debtor, and in the case of warrants so issued under a
chapter 11 plan, also generally exempts the issuance of the securities issued upon exercise of such
warrants. In reliance upon this exemption, the New Common Units and New Warrants will be issued on
the Effective Date as provided in the Committee’s Plan, and will be exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, except to the extent described below. Accordingly, such
securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act or other federal securities
laws subject to (i) 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
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, if any, applicable at the time of
any future transfer of such Securities or instruments; (ii) the restrictions, if any, on the
transferability of such Securities and instruments set forth in the Stockholders Agreement; and
(iii) applicable regulatory approval. However, recipients of securities issued under the
Committee’s Plan are advised to consult with their own legal advisors as to the availability of any
such exemption from registration under state law in any given instance and as to any applicable
requirements or conditions to such availability.
As set forth herein and in the Committee’s Plan, the New Common Units issued pursuant to the
Offering to the Offering Participants will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by
virtue of section 4(2) thereof and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The New Common Units being
issued in the offering are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the
Securities Act and accordingly may not be offered, sold, resold, pledged, delivered, allotted or
otherwise transferred except in transactions that are exempt from, or in transactions not subject
to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and in compliance with any applicable state
securities laws. The New Common Units issued in the Offering shall bear a legend restricting their
transferability until no longer required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act and
state securities laws.
J. Registration Rights Agreement
Other than as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Reorganized Debtors shall not
be obligated to list the New Common Units on a national securities exchange. In order
33
to ensure that the Reorganized Debtors will not become subject to the reporting requirements of the
Exchange Act except in connection with a public offering, the Postconfirmation Organizational
Documents will impose certain trading restrictions to limit the number of record holders thereof.
On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors expect to enter into a registration rights agreement
(the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Backstop Purchaser and the other Offering
Participants who purchase their Offering Pro Rata Share of New Common Units in the Offering (the
“Other Full Offering Participants”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Backstop
Purchaser would have the right to require the Reorganized Debtors to effect registered,
underwritten secondary offerings of the Backstop Purchaser’s New Common Units on terms and
conditions to be negotiated and reflected in such Registration Rights Agreement, with the number of
demand registration rights to be determined and the Other Full Offering Participants would have
certain piggy-back registration rights. A form of the Registration Rights Agreement will be
included in the Committee’s Plan Supplement.
K. Payment of Plan Expenses
The Reorganized Debtors may pay all reasonable Plan Expenses without further notice to
Creditors or Holders of Interests or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
L. Dissolution of the Official Committee
As of the Effective Date, the Committee shall be dissolved, provided, however, that
notwithstanding such dissolution, the Committee’s Professional Persons may seek payment of any
unpaid Administrative Expenses pursuant to the Committee’s Plan.
M. Actions in Korea
The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, shall take whatever action
necessary to implement the Confirmation Order in Korea.
VII.
TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES
A. Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
Except for any executory contracts or unexpired leases: (i) that are listed as Rejected
Contracts in the Plan Supplement (ii) that previously were assumed or rejected by an order of the
Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code; (iii) as to which a motion for
approval of the assumption or rejection of such contracts or leases has been Filed and served prior
to Confirmation; or (iv) that constitute contracts of insurance in favor of, or that benefit, the
Debtors or the Estates, each executory contract and unexpired lease entered into by the Debtors
prior to the Petition Date that has not previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms
shall be deemed assumed pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date.
The Confirmation Order shall constitute an Order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such
assumptions, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the Effective Date. On the
Effective Date, the Debtors shall pay any cure costs associated with any assumed contracts owned by
the Debtors (i.e., claims of non-Debtor contract parties against the Debtors for
34
monetary damages for breaches of such assumed contracts) from the Cash of the Reorganized Debtors.
B. Objections to Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
1. Objection Procedure Generally
Any party objecting to any Debtor’s proposed assumption of an executory contract or unexpired
lease based on a lack of adequate assurance of future performance or on any other ground including
the adequacy of the “cure” amount set forth in the Plan Supplement shall file and serve a written
objection to the assumption of such contract or lease by the deadline to object to Confirmation.
Failure to timely file an objection shall constitute consent to the assumption and assignment of
those contracts and leases, including an acknowledgment that the proposed assumption provides
adequate assurance of future performance and that the applicable “cure” amount set forth in the
Plan Supplement is proper and sufficient for purposes of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.
2. Objection Based on Grounds Other Than “Cure” Amount
If any party timely and properly files an objection to assumption based on any ground other than
the adequacy of the applicable “cure” amount set forth in the Plan Supplement and the Bankruptcy
Court ultimately determines that any Debtor cannot assume the executory contract or then the
unexpired lease or executory contract shall automatically thereupon be deemed to have been excluded
from the Plan Supplement and shall be rejected.
3. Objection Based on “Cure” Amount
If any party timely and properly files an objection to assumption based on the adequacy of the
applicable “cure” amount set forth in the Plan Supplement and such objection is not resolved
between the Debtors and the objecting party, the Bankruptcy Court shall resolve such dispute at the
Confirmation Hearing or another hearing date to be determined by the Bankruptcy Court. The
resolution of such dispute shall not affect the assumption of the executory contract or lease that
is the subject of such dispute but rather shall affect only the “cure” amount the Debtors must pay
in order to assume such contract or lease. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if
the Debtors in their discretion determine that the amount asserted to be the necessary “cure”
amount would, if ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, make the assumption of the executory contract or
lease imprudent, then the Debtors may elect to (1) reject the executory contract or lease, or (2)
request an expedited hearing on the resolution of the “cure” dispute, exclude assumption or
rejection of the contract or lease from the scope of the Confirmation Order, and retain the right
to reject the executory contract or lease pending the outcome of such dispute.
C. Payment Related to Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
If not the subject of dispute as of the Confirmation Date, any monetary defaults under each
executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed under the Committee’s Plan shall be satisfied
by the Debtors from the Cash of MSA, pursuant to section 365(b) of the Bankruptcy Code: (i) by
payment of (1) the applicable “cure” amount, (2) such other amount as ordered by the Bankruptcy
Court, or (3) such other amount as agreed upon by the Debtors, in Cash within
35
thirty (30) days following the Effective Date; or (ii) on such other terms as agreed to by the
parties to such executory contract or unexpired lease. In the event of a dispute regarding the
appropriate “cure” amount, payment of the amount otherwise payable hereunder shall be made
following entry of a Final Order or agreement by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as the case
may be.
D. Bar Date for Rejection Damages
If the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease pursuant to the Committee’s Plan
or otherwise gives rise to a Claim by the other party or parties to such contract or lease, such
Claim shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors, the Reorganized
Debtors or their Estates unless a proof of Claim is Filed and served on the Debtors and their
counsel within thirty days after the earlier of (a) Confirmation or (b) service of a notice that
the executory contract or unexpired lease has been rejected. All such Claims for which proofs of
Claim are required to be Filed, if Allowed, will be, and will be treated as, General Unsecured
Claims, subject to the provisions of the Committee’s Plan.
E. Insurance Policies
Unless specifically rejected by order of the Bankruptcy Court, all of the Debtors’ insurance
policies which are executory, if any, and any agreements, documents or instruments relating
thereto, shall be assumed under the Committee’s Plan. Nothing contained in this section shall
constitute or be deemed a waiver of any cause of action that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors may
hold against any entity, including, without limitation, the insurer, under any of the Debtors’
policies of insurance.
VIII.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND RELATED MATTERS
A. Dates of Distribution
The sections of the Committee’s Plan on treatment of Administrative Expenses, Claims, and
Interests specify the times for distributions. Whenever any payment or distribution to be made
under the Committee’s Plan shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or
distribution shall instead be made, without interest, on the immediately following Business Day.
Distributions due on the Effective Date will be paid on such date or as soon as practicable
thereafter, provided that if other provisions of the Committee’s Plan require the surrender of
securities or establish other conditions precedent to receiving a distribution, the distribution
may be delayed until such surrender occurs or conditions are satisfied.
If, under the terms of the Committee’s Plan, the resolution of a particular Disputed Claim,
e.g., it is Disallowed, entitles other Holders of Claims to a further distribution, either (a) the
Reorganized Debtors may make such further distribution as soon as practicable after the resolution
of the Disputed Claim or (b) if the further distribution is determined in good faith, by the
Reorganized Debtors to be less than $100 for any Creditor, then, in order to afford the Reorganized
Debtors an opportunity to minimize costs and aggregate such distributions, the Reorganized Debtors
may make such further distribution any time prior to sixty days after the Final Resolution Date.
36
B. Cash Distributions
Distributions of Cash may be made either by check drawn on a domestic bank or wire transfer
from a domestic bank, at the option of the Reorganized Debtors, except that Cash payments made to
foreign Creditors may be made in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in a
particular foreign jurisdiction.
C. Rounding of Payments
Whenever payment of a fraction of a cent would otherwise be called for, the actual
payment shall reflect a rounding down of such fraction to the nearest whole cent.
D. Disputed Claims
Notwithstanding all references in the Committee’s Plan to Claims that are Allowed, in
undertaking the calculations concerning Allowed Claims or Allowed Administrative Expenses under the
Committee’s Plan, including the determination of the amount or number of distributions due to the
Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Administrative Expenses, each Disputed Claim shall be treated
as if it were an Allowed Claim or Allowed Administrative Expense, except that if the Bankruptcy
Court estimates the likely portion of a Disputed Claim to be Allowed or authorized or otherwise
determines the amount or number that would constitute a sufficient reserve for a Disputed Claim
(which estimates and determinations may be requested by the Debtors), such amount or number as
determined by the Bankruptcy Court shall be used as to such Claim.
Distributions of non-Cash consideration due in respect of a Disputed Claim shall be held and
not made pending resolution of the Disputed Claim.
After an objection to a Disputed Claim is withdrawn, resolved by agreement, or determined by
Final Order, the distributions due on account of any resulting Allowed Claim, Allowed Interest, or
Allowed Administrative Expense shall be made by the Reorganized Debtors. Such distribution shall be
made within forty-five days of the date that the Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim or Allowed
Administrative Expense. No interest shall be due to a Holder of a Disputed Claim based on the delay
attendant to determining the allowance of such Claim, Interest, or Administrative Expense.
E. Undeliverable and Unclaimed Distributions
If any distribution under the Committee’s Plan is returned to the Reorganized Debtors as
undeliverable or the check or other similar instrument or distribution by the Reorganized Debtors
remains uncashed or unclaimed, as applicable, for 120 days, such Cash shall be deemed to be
“Unclaimed Property.” Upon property becoming Unclaimed Property, it immediately shall be revested
in the Reorganized Debtors.
Pending becoming Unclaimed Property, such Cash will remain in the possession of the
Reorganized Debtors, and, if the Reorganized Debtors are notified in writing of a new address for
the relevant Holder, they shall cause distribution of the Cash within forty-five days thereafter.
37
Once there becomes Unclaimed Property for a Holder, no subsequent distributions for such
Holder that may otherwise be due under the Committee’s Plan will accrue or be held for such
Holder, provided that, if the applicable agent is notified in writing of such Holder’s then
current address and status as a Holder under the Committee’s Plan, thereafter, the Holder will
become entitled to its share of distributions, if any, which first become due after such
notification.
F. Compliance With Tax Requirements
The Reorganized Debtors shall comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed
by federal, state, or local taxing authorities in connection with making distributions pursuant to
the Committee’s Plan.
In connection with each distribution with respect to which the filing of an information return
(such as an IRS Form 1099 or 1042) or withholding is required, the Reorganized Debtors shall file
such information return with the IRS and provide any required statements in connection therewith to
the recipients of such distribution, or effect any such withholding and deposit all moneys so
withheld to the extent required by law. With respect to any Person from whom a tax identification
number, certified tax identification number, or other tax information required by law to avoid
withholding has not been received by the Reorganized Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors may, in their
sole option, withhold the amount required and distribute the balance to such Person or decline to
make such distribution until the information is received; provided, however, that the Reorganized
Debtors shall not be obligated to liquidate any securities to perform such withholding.
G. Record Date in Respect to Distributions
Except as set forth below, the record date and time for the purpose of determining which
Persons are entitled to receive any and all distributions on account of any Allowed Claims or
Interests, irrespective of the date of or number of distributions, shall be the same as the Record
Date.
At the date and time of the Record Date, the Agent’s registers with respect to the First Lien
Lender Secured Claims, the Second Lien Noteholder Claim and the Subordinated Note Claim shall be
deemed closed for purposes of determining whether a Holder of a First Lien Lender Secured Claim, a
Second Lien Noteholder Claim or a Subordinated Note Claim is a record holder entitled to
distributions under the Committee’s Plan. Neither the Reorganized Debtors nor the Agent shall have
any obligation to recognize, for purposes of distributions pursuant to or in any way arising under
the Committee’s Plan, any First Lien Lender Secured Claim Lender Secured Claim, a Second Lien
Noteholder Claim or a Subordinated Note Claim, or Claim arising therefrom or in connection
therewith that is transferred after the time of the Record Date. Instead, they all shall be
entitled to recognize and deal for distribution purposes with only those record holders of the
First Lien Lender Secured Claims, the Second Lien Noteholder Claim or the Subordinated Note Claim
as of the Record Date irrespective of the number of distributions to be made under the Committee’s
Plan or the date of such distributions.
38
H. Conditions to Receiving Distributions
As a condition to receiving any distribution under the Committee’s Plan, each Holder of an
Allowed Claim shall have executed and delivered such agreements, documents and instruments as may
be reasonably required by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors. Any Holder of an Allowed Claim that
fails to execute and deliver such agreements, documents, and instruments or fails to take such
action as may be reasonably requested by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors before the first
anniversary of the later to occur of (a) the availability of the agreements, documents and
instruments required by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors and (b) the Effective Date may not
participate in any distribution under the Committee’s Plan with respect to such Allowed Claim. Any
distribution forfeited hereunder shall be ratably reallocated among complying Holders of the
applicable Class. The Debtors acknowledge that the First Lien Lender Parties have delivered all
necessary agreements, documents and instruments and have taken all necessary actions required
pursuant to this Article VIII.H.
I. Surrender of Instruments
As a condition to receiving any distribution under the Committee’s Plan, each Holder of Second
Lien Notes or Subordinated Notes must either (a) surrender such (i) Second Lien Notes to Luxco who
will surrender such Second Lien Notes to the Second Lien Noteholder Trustee, or (ii) Subordinated
Notes to Luxco who will surrender such Subordinated Notes to the Subordinated Note Trustee, or (b)
submit evidence satisfactory to (i) the Second Lien Noteholder Trustee with respect to the Secured
Lien Notes, and (ii) the Subordinated Note Trustee with respect to the Subordinated Notes. Any
Holder that fails to do either (a) or (b) above shall be deemed to have forfeited all rights and
Claims and may not participate in any distribution under the Committee’s Plan.
IX.
LITIGATION, OBJECTIONS TO CLAIMS, AND DETERMINATION OF TAXES
A.
Litigation: Objections to Claims; Objection Deadline
Except as may be expressly provided otherwise in the Committee’s Plan, the Reorganized Debtors
shall be responsible for any objection to the allowance of any Claim, and the determination of Tax
issues and liabilities.
As of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have exclusive authority to file
objections, settle, compromise, withdraw, or litigate to judgment objections to Claims. Unless
another date is established by the Bankruptcy Court (which may so act without notice or hearing) or
is established by other provisions of the Committee’s Plan, any objection to a Claim shall be Filed
with the Bankruptcy Court and served on the Person holding such Claim within ninety days after the
Effective Date (the “Objection Deadline”), provided that the Reorganized Debtors may seek
extension(s) thereof subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.
In addition to any other available remedies or procedures with respect to Tax issues or
liabilities, the Reorganized Debtors, at any time, may utilize (and receive the benefits of)
section 505 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to: (1) any Tax issue or liability relating to an
act or event occurring prior to the Effective Date or (2) any Tax liability arising prior to the
Effective
39
Date. If the Reorganized Debtors utilize section 505(b) of the Bankruptcy Code: (1) the Bankruptcy
Court shall determine the amount of the subject Tax liability in the event that the appropriate
governmental entity timely determines a Tax to be due in excess of the amount indicated on the
subject return and (2) if the prerequisites are met for obtaining a discharge of Tax liability in
accordance with section 505(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Debtors shall be entitled to
such discharge, which shall apply to any and all Taxes relating to the period covered by such
return.
B. Temporary or Permanent Resolution of Disputed Claims
The Reorganized Debtors may request, at any time prior to the Effective Date or on and after
the Effective Date, that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any contingent or unliquidated Disputed
Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, irrespective of whether any party has
previously objected to such Disputed Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such
objection. The Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction to estimate any contingent or unliquidated
Disputed Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to the Disputed Claim,
including during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. If the Bankruptcy Court
estimates any contingent or unliquidated Disputed Claim, that estimated amount would constitute
either the Allowed amount of such Disputed Claim or a maximum limitation on such Disputed Claim, as
determined by the Bankruptcy Court. If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on
such Disputed Claim, the Reorganized Debtors may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to
object to any ultimate payment on account of such Disputed Claim. In addition, the Reorganized
Debtors may resolve or adjudicate any Disputed Claim in the manner in which the amount of such
Claim, Interest, or Administrative Expense and the rights of the Holder of such Claim, Interest, or
Administrative Expense would have been resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been
commenced. All of the aforementioned objection, estimation, and resolution procedures are
cumulative and not necessarily exclusive of one another.
C. Release of Avoidance Actions
Each of the Debtors releases, waives and agrees not to prosecute or pursue any Avoidance
Claims.
D. Preservation of Retained Rights of Action
In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Debtors will retain
and may exclusively enforce any Retained Rights of Action and the Confirmation Order shall be
deemed a res judicata determination of such rights to retain and exclusively enforce such Retained
Rights of Action. The Retained Rights of Action may be asserted or prosecuted before or after
solicitation of votes on the Committee’s Plan or before or after the Effective Date.
Absent an express waiver or release set forth in the Committee’s Plan, nothing in the
Committee’s Plan shall (or is intended to) prevent, estop, or be deemed to preclude the Reorganized
Debtors from utilizing, pursuing, prosecuting, or otherwise acting upon all or any of their
Retained Rights of Action and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including, without
40
limitation, the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion,
estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise), or laches shall apply to such Retained Rights of
Action upon or after Confirmation or Consummation.
X.
EFFECT OF CONFIRMATION AND RELATED PROVISIONS
A. Effect of Confirmation
1. Binding Effect of Plan
The provisions of the confirmed Plan shall bind the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, any
entity acquiring property under the Committee’s Plan, and any Creditor or Interest Holder, whether
or not such Creditor or Interest Holder has Filed a proof of Claim or Interest in the Chapter 11
Cases, whether or not the Claim of such Creditor or the Interest of such Interest Holder is
impaired under the Committee’s Plan, and whether or not such Creditor or Interest Holder has
accepted or rejected the Committee’s Plan. All Claims and debts shall be as fixed and adjusted
pursuant to the Committee’s Plan. With respect to any taxes of the kind specified in Bankruptcy
Code section 1146(c), the Committee’s Plan shall also bind any taxing authority, recorder of deeds
or similar official for any county, state, or governmental unit or parish in which any instrument
related to the Committee’s Plan or related to any transaction contemplated under the Committee’s
Plan is to be recorded.
B. Injunction
1. Generally
Unless otherwise provided in the Committee’s Plan or the Confirmation Order, all injunctions
and stays provided for in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to sections 105 and 362 of the Bankruptcy
Code or otherwise in effect on the Confirmation Date shall remain in full force and effect until
the Effective Date. From and after the Effective Date, all Persons are permanently enjoined from,
and restrained against, commencing or continuing in any court any suit, action, or other
proceeding, or otherwise asserting any Claim or interest, (a) seeking to hold (i) the Reorganized
Debtors, (ii) the Plan Proponent, (iii) the Backstop Purchaser; (iv) the Second Lien Noteholder
Trustee; (v) the Subordinated Noteholder Trustee or (vi) the property of the Reorganized Debtors,
liable for any Claim, obligation, right, interest, debt, or liability that has been satisfied,
discharged or released pursuant the Committee’s Plan.
From and after the Effective Date, the Agent, the Collateral Trustee and all Holders of Claims
are permanently enjoined from and restrained against, commencing or continuing in any court any
suit, action, or other proceeding, or otherwise asserting any Claim or Interest against the
Non-Debtor Subsidiaries, except as provided under the New Term Loan. The Second Lien Noteholder
Trustee, the Subordinated Note Trustee, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Collateral Trustee
hereby release all Liens, the Second Lien Guarantees, and the Subordinated Note Guarantee, except
for the Liens securing the First Lien Lender Secured Claims, which shall remain in effect for the
sole purpose of securing the New Term Loan.

Injunction Related to Rights of Action and Terminated Claims, Administrative Expenses or
Interests |
Except as provided in the Committee’s Plan or in the Confirmation Order, as of the Effective
Date, all Entities that have held, currently hold or may hold a Claim, Administrative Expense,
Superpriority Claim, Interest, or other debt or liability that is stayed, Impaired, or terminated
pursuant to the terms of the Committee’s Plan are permanently enjoined from taking any of the
following actions either (x) against the Plan Proponent, the Backstop Purchaser, the Second Lien
Noteholder Trustee, the Subordinated Noteholder Trustee, any of the present or former First Lien
Lender Parties, any of the present or former officers or directors of the Debtors and their
affiliates, the Debtors and their affiliates or the Reorganized Debtors, or their property on
account of all or such portion of any such Claims, Administrative Expenses, Superpriority Claims,
Interests, debts, or liabilities that are stayed, Impaired, or terminated or (y) against any Person
with respect to any Right of Action or any objection to a Claim, Administrative Expense,
Superpriority Claim, or Interest, which Right of Action or objection, under the Committee’s Plan,
is waived, released, assigned or exclusively retained by any of the Debtors: (a) commencing or
continuing, in any manner or in any place, any action or other proceeding; (b) enforcing,
attaching, collecting, or recovering in any manner any judgment, award, decree or order, (c)
creating, perfecting, or enforcing any lien or encumbrance; (d) asserting a setoff, right of
subrogation or recoupment of any kind against any debt, liability, or obligation due; and (e)
commencing or continuing, in any manner or in any place, any action that does not comply with or is
inconsistent with the provisions of the Committee’s Plan. To avoid any doubt, except as otherwise
expressly noted in the Committee’s Plan, nothing in the Committee’s Plan or herein shall be
construed or is intended to affect, enjoin, modify, release, or waive any claims, rights, and
actions that a third party may have against a person other than the Plan Proponent, the Backstop
Purchaser, the Second Lien Noteholder Trustee, the Subordinated Noteholder Trustee, any of the
present or former First Lien Lender Parties, any of the present or former officers or directors of
the Debtors and their affiliates, the Debtors and their affiliates or the Reorganized Debtors,
provided that such claims, rights, and actions are wholly separate and exist independently from any
claims, rights, and actions of the Estates.
3. Exculpation
As of and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, each of the Plan Proponent and its
Representatives, the Backstop Purchaser, the Second Lien Noteholder Trustee, the Subordinated
Noteholder Trustee, any present or former First Lien Lender Parties and their respective
Representatives, the present and former directors and officers of the Debtors and their
affiliates, the Debtors and their affiliates, the Reorganized Debtors and the members of the
Committee (acting in such capacity), shall neither have nor incur any liability to any Person or
Entity for any act taken or omitted to be taken, in connection with, or related to, the
formulation, preparation, dissemination, implementation, administration, Confirmation or
Consummation of the Committee’s Plan or any contract, instrument, waiver, release or other
agreement or document created or entered into, in connection with the Committee’s Plan, or any
other act taken or omitted to be taken in connection with the
Chapter 11 Cases; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of
42
this subsection shall have no effect on the liability of any Person or Entity that results from any
such act or omission that is determined in a Final Order to have constituted gross negligence or
willful misconduct.
C. Debtor Release
Each Debtor, for itself and its affiliates, its respective successors, assigns, transferees,
those officers and directors, acting in such capacities as of the Petition Date, agents, members,
financial advisors, attorneys, employees, partners, affiliates, representatives, in each case in
their capacity as such, shall be deemed to have released any and all claims and causes of action
against Interest holders of LLC, the Plan Proponent, the Backstop Purchaser, any of the present or
former First Lien Lender Parties, any of the present or former officers or directors of the Debtors
or their affiliates, the Second Lien Noteholder Trustee, the Subordinated Noteholder Trustee and
the Reorganized Debtors, and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents,
advisors, accountants, attorneys and representatives, and their respective property, arising prior
to the Effective Date. The Creditors’ Committee is not aware of the existence of any Rights of
Action that are the subject of the release described under this Article X.C. As of the date of the
Committee’s Plan, the Creditors’ Committee has not performed a formal investigation of the Rights
of Action described in this Article X.C.
D. Third Party Release
Each Creditor that does not elect to opt out of this release by checking the appropriate box
on the ballot provided to such Creditor in connection with solicitation of such Creditors’ vote to
accept to reject the Committee’s Plan, for itself and its respective successors, assigns,
transferees, those officers and directors, acting in such capacities as of the Petition Date,
agents, members, financial advisors, attorneys, employees, partners, affiliates, representatives,
in each case in their capacity as such, shall, by virtue of its vote, be deemed to have released
any and all claims and causes of action against the Plan Proponent, the Backstop Purchaser, any of
the present or former First Lien Lender Parties, the Second Lien Noteholder Trustee, the
Subordinated Noteholder Trustee, any of the present or former officers or directors of the Debtors
and their affiliates, the Debtors and their affiliates, and the Reorganized Debtors, and their
respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, advisors, accountants, attorneys and
representatives, and their respective property, arising prior to the Effective Date. The Creditors’
Committee is not aware of the existence of any Rights of Action that are the subject of the release
described under this Article X.D. As of the date of the Committee’s Plan, the Creditors’ Committee
has not performed a formal investigation of the Rights of Action described in this Article X.D.
E. Subsequent Discovery of Facts Does Not Affect Enforceability of Releases
Each releasing party under Article X.C. and Article X.D. of the Committee’s Plan shall be
deemed to have granted the releases set forth herein, notwithstanding that it may hereafter
discover facts in addition to, or different from, those which it now knows or believes to be true,
and without regard to the subsequent discovery or existence of such different or additional facts,
43
and such party expressly waives any and all rights that it may have under any statute or common law
principle, including section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which would limit the effect of
such releases to those Claims or causes of action actually known or suspected to exist at the time
of Confirmation. Section 1542 of the California Civil Code generally provides as follows: “A
general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in
his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have
materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” The Creditors’ Committee is not aware
of the existence of any Rights of Action that are the subject of the release described under this
Article X.E. As of the date of the Committee’s Plan, the Creditors’ Committee has not performed a
formal investigation of the Rights of Action described in this Article X.E.
XI.
PENSION PLANS, OTHER RETIREE BENEFITS AND LABOR CONTRACTS
The
Debtors are not obligated pursuant to section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code to pay any
“retiree benefits” (as that term is defined in section 1114(a) of the Bankruptcy Code).
XII.
NO REGULATED RATE CHANGE WITHOUT GOVERNMENT APPROVAL
The Debtors do not charge any rates for purposes of section 1129(a)(6) that are regulated
by any governmental regulatory commission with jurisdiction under applicable nonbankruptcy law.
XIII.
EXEMPTION FROM CERTAIN TRANSFER TAXES
Pursuant to section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfers by the Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors pursuant to the Committee’s Plan shall not be subject to any document recording
tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, stamp act, real estate
transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, or other similar Tax or governmental assessment.
XIV.
RETENTION OF JURISDICTION AND MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS
A. Retention of Jurisdiction
Notwithstanding the entry of the Confirmation Order or the occurrence of the Effective Date,
the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction over the Chapter 11 Cases and any of the proceedings
related to the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to section 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code and 28 U.S.C. §
1334 to the fullest extent permitted by the Bankruptcy Code and other applicable law, including,
without limitation, such jurisdiction as is necessary to ensure that the purpose and intent of the
Committee’s Plan are carried out. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Bankruptcy

other matters and grant or deny any applications involving the Debtors that may be pending before
the Effective Date or that may be commenced thereafter as provided in the Committee’s Plan;

of the Committee’s Plan and all contracts, instruments, releases, indentures, and other agreements

Confirmation Order, in such manner as may be necessary or appropriate to consummate the Committee’s
Plan, to the extent authorized by the Bankruptcy Code;
9. issue injunctions, enter and implement other orders, or take such other actions as may be

implementation, or enforcement of the Committee’s Plan or the Confirmation Order;

Code, (ii) matters concerning Tax refunds due for any period including times prior to the Effective
Date, and (iii) any matters arising prior to the Effective Date affecting Tax attributes of the

removed to federal court in whole or in part in reliance upon 28 U.S.C. § 1334;
16. determine any other matters that may arise in connection with or relate to the Committee’s

Plan;
17. determine any other matter not inconsistent with the Bankruptcy Code;

46
18. enter an order or final decree concluding the Chapter 11 Cases.
B. Miscellaneous Matters
1. Headings
The headings used in the Committee’s Plan are inserted for convenience only and neither
constitute a portion of the Committee’s Plan nor in any manner affect the construction of the
provisions of the Committee’s Plan.
2. Services by and Fees for Professionals and Certain Parties
Reasonable fees and expenses for the Professional Persons retained by the Debtors or the
Committee for services rendered and costs incurred after the Petition Date and prior to the
Effective Date will be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court after notice and a hearing and such fees and
expenses will be paid by the Reorganized Debtors (less deductions for any and all amounts thereof
already paid to such Persons with respect thereto) after a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court
approving such fees and expenses. Without limiting the Reorganized Debtors’ obligations after the
Effective Date under applicable law, from and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors
shall, in the ordinary course of business and without the necessity for any approval by the
Bankruptcy Court, pay from the Cash on hand of MSA, the reasonable fees and expenses of the
Professional Persons thereafter incurred by the Reorganized Debtors related to: (a) the
implementation or consummation of the Committee’s Plan or (b) the prosecution of any objections to
Claims, Administrative Expenses, or Interests.
3. Bar Date for Administrative Expenses
Requests for payment of all Administrative Expenses, other than for those for which a request
and/or proof of Claim has previously been Filed, must be Filed and served on the Debtors and the
United States Trustee no later than thirty days after the Effective Date. The Debtors shall have
until sixty days after the Effective Date to bring an objection to a Timely Filed request for
payment of an Administrative Expense. Nothing in the Committee’s Plan shall prohibit the Debtors
from paying Administrative Expenses in the ordinary course in accordance with applicable law during
or after the Chapter 11 Cases, but after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors’ obligation to
pay an Administrative Expense will depend upon the claimant’s compliance with this section and such
Administrative Expense being Allowed under the provisions of the Committee’s Plan. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section, but except as may be expressly provided in other sections
of the Committee’s Plan, Professional Persons or other entities requesting compensation or
reimbursement of expenses pursuant to sections 327, 328, 330, 331, 503(b) and 1103 of the
Bankruptcy Code for services rendered or expenses incurred after the Petition Date and prior to the
Effective Date must file and serve, on all parties entitled to notice thereof, an application for
final allowance of compensation and reimbursement of expenses in accordance with the various orders
of the Bankruptcy Court establishing procedures for submission and review of such applications;
provided that, if no last date is set in such procedures for filing such applications, they must be
Filed no later than sixty days after the Effective Date and any objections to such applications
must be made in accordance with applicable rules of the Bankruptcy Court.

shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the successors and assigns of such
Person.
48
6. Severability of Plan Provisions
If, prior to Confirmation, any nonmaterial term or provision of the Committee’s Plan is held
by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court will have the
power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum
extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be
invalid, void, or unenforceable, and such term or provision will then be applicable as altered or
interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the
terms and provisions of the Committee’s Plan will remain in full force and effect and will in no
way be affected, Impaired, or invalidated by such holding, alteration, or interpretation. The
Confirmation Order will constitute a judicial determination that each term and provision of the
Committee’s Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is
valid and enforceable pursuant to their terms.
7. No Waiver
Neither the failure of the Debtors to list a Claim in the Debtors’ Schedules; the failure of
the Debtors to object to any Claim or Interest for purposes of voting; the failure of the Debtors
to object to a Claim, Administrative Expense, or Interest prior to Confirmation or the Effective
Date; the failure of the Debtors to assert a Retained Right of Action prior to Confirmation or the
Effective Date; the absence of a proof of Claim having been Filed with respect to a Claim; nor any
action or inaction of the Debtors or any other party with respect to a Claim, Administrative
Expense, Interest, or Retained Right of Action other than a legally effective express waiver or
release shall be deemed a waiver or release of the right of the Debtors or their successors or
assigns, before or after solicitation of votes on the Committee’s Plan or before or after
Confirmation or the Effective Date, to (a) object to or examine such Claim, Administrative Expense,
or Interest, in whole or in part or (b) assign to the Agent (and for the Agent to subsequently
assign or exclusively assert, pursue, prosecute, utilize, otherwise act, or otherwise enforce) any
Retained Rights of Action.
8. Inconsistencies
In the event the terms or provisions of the Committee’s Plan are inconsistent with the terms
and provisions of the exhibits to the Committee’s Plan or documents executed in connection with the
Committee’s Plan, the terms of the Committee’s Plan shall control.
9. Plan Supplement
The Plan Supplement and the documents contained therein shall be in form, scope and substance
satisfactory to the Backstop Purchaser, and shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court no later than
to ten (10) days before the deadline for voting to accept or reject the Committee’s Plan, provided
that the documents included therein may thereafter be amended and supplemented, subject to the
consent of the Backstop Purchaser, prior to execution, so long as no such amendment or supplement
materially affects the rights of holders of Claims. The Plan Supplement and the documents contained
therein are incorporated into and made a part of the Committee’s Plan as if set forth in full
herein.

XV.
CONDITIONS TO CONFIRMATION AND EFFECTIVENESS
A. Conditions Precedent to Plan Effectiveness
The Plan will not be consummated and the Effective Date will not occur unless and until (A)
the Confirmation Order is in a form acceptable to the Plan Proponent and is entered by the
Bankruptcy Court; (B) the Confirmation Order shall either be a Final Order or, if an appeal has
been Filed, no stay has been obtained; (C) all conditions set forth in the Backstop Commitment
Agreement shall have been satisfied; (D) the Offering shall have been fully funded; (E) all
documents necessary to effectuate the release of the Liens, the Second Lien Guarantees, and the
Subordinated Note Guarantee against the Debtors and Non-Debtor Subsidiaries, except for the Liens
securing the First Lien Lender Secured Claims, which shall remain in effect for the sole purpose of
securing the New Term Loan, shall have been fully executed and delivered; and (F) all distributions
payable on the Effective Date hereunder shall have promptly been paid in accordance with the terms
hereof; (G) all necessary government approvals have been obtained; and (H) UBS, AG, Stamford Branch

capacity as Agent shall have been paid in full. The foregoing conditions, other than subparts (F)
and (H) above, may be waived by the Plan Proponent (such waiver shall not require any notice,
Bankruptcy Court order, or any further action). The foregoing conditions may be waived by the Plan
Proponent (such waiver shall not require any notice, Bankruptcy Court order, or any further
action).
B. Effect of Non-Occurrence of Conditions to Effective Date
Each of the conditions to the Effective Date must be satisfied or duly waived, as provided
above, within thirty-five days after the Confirmation Date. If each condition to the Effective Date
has not been satisfied or duly waived, as described above, within thirty-five days after the
Confirmation Date, then upon motion by the Debtors made before the time that each of such
conditions has been satisfied or duly waived and upon notice to such parties in interest as the
Bankruptcy Court may direct, the Confirmation Order shall be vacated by the Bankruptcy Court.
Notwithstanding the filing of such motion, however, the Confirmation Order may not be vacated if
each of the conditions to the Effective Date is either satisfied or duly waived before the
Bankruptcy Court enters an order granting such motion. If the Confirmation Order is vacated for
failure to satisfy a condition to the Effective Date, the Committee’s Plan shall be deemed null and
void in all respects.

of such Holder is Impaired under the Committee’s Plan and whether or not the Holder of
50
such Claim, Administrative Expense, Superpriority Claim, or Interest has accepted the
Committee’s Plan.

has been proposed in good faith and in compliance with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code

offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of a security offered or sold under the Committee’s Plan have

Re: |

$35,000,000 Common Stock Backstop Commitment |
Mr. Sherwood:
Reference is made to the chapter 11 bankruptcy cases, lead case no. 09-12008 (the
“Chapter 11 Cases”), currently pending before the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”), in which MagnaChip Semiconductor,
LLC (“LLC”) and certain of its affiliates are debtors and debtors in possession
(collectively, the “Debtors”). Reference is further made to: (i) a plan of reorganization
attached hereto as Exhibit A (as such plan of reorganization may be modified or amended
from time to time, the “Committee’s Plan”) and (ii) a disclosure statement attached hereto
as Exhibit B (as it may be modified or amended from time to time, the
“Committee’s Disclosure Statement”). Capitalized terms used in this letter
agreement (the “Backstop Commitment Agreement”) and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings provided in the Committee’s Plan.
The Committee’s Plan proposes to obtain exit financing required for the emergence of the
Debtors from Chapter 11 by offering to eligible Second Lien Noteholders (the “Offering
Participants”) a right to participate in an offering (the “Offering”) of new common
units (the “New Common Units”) of MagnaChip Semiconductor, LLC, representing approximately
84% of the New Common Units of LLC on the Effective Date, subject to dilution on account of the
Long-Term Incentive Plan, as more fully described in the Committee’s Plan. The aggregate purchase
price of New Common Units (the “Offering Amount”) shall be $35 million. Pursuant to the
Committee’s Plan, each Offering Participant will be permitted to participate in the Offering up to
their respective pro rata holdings and will be required to accept such offer by one business day
before the Effective Date in accordance with the procedures established in the Committee’s
Disclosure Statement; provided, however, that the Backstop Purchaser (as defined
below) shall be entitled to purchase a minimum allocation of 67% of the New Common Units issued,
pursuant to the Offering (the “Minimum Allocation”). For purposes of this Backstop
Commitment Agreement, the term “pro rata” means (x) the total principal amount of Second Lien
Noteholder Claims held by such Offeree divided by (y) the aggregate principal amount of Second Lien
Noteholder Claims outstanding.
To provide assurance that the Offering will be fully subscribed, the undersigned (the
“Backstop Purchaser”) hereby commits to backstop the Offering (the “Backstop
Commitment”), for the full Offering Amount, on the terms described herein and in the
Committee’s Plan.
In consideration for the Backstop Commitment, in the event the Committee’s Plan is confirmed
and becomes Effective, the Backstop Purchaser shall be paid an amount in New Common Units equal to
10.0% of the New Common Units (the “Standby Commitment Fee”). Subject to the provisions
below, the Standby Commitment Fee shall be deemed fully earned and payable upon the Effective
Date,, regardless of whether the Offering is fully subscribed by eligible holders of the Second
Lien Noteholder Claims. The Creditors’ Committee agrees that the Standby Commitment Fee shall be
nonrefundable and that the Standby Commitment Fee and any other payments hereunder shall be paid
without setoff or recoupment and shall not be subject to defense or offset on account of any
claim, defense or counterclaim. The Standby Commitment Fee and other amounts payable hereunder
shall be paid in New Common Units.
All matters relating to the confirmation and consummation of the Committee’s Plan,
including, without limitation, the form of the Committee’s Plan as ultimately confirmed by the
Bankruptcy Court and the terms of the Offering and of any guarantees and intercreditor
arrangements relating to other indebtedness of Debtors must be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Backstop Purchaser and its counsel.
The agreement of the Backstop Purchaser hereunder is conditioned upon satisfaction of each of
the conditions set forth in the Committee’s Plan, including (without limitation) the entry of an
order of the Bankruptcy Court on or before September 25, 2009, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Backstop Purchaser and its counsel, approving the Backstop Commitment Agreement and the
Committee’s Plan, including the Standby Commitment Fee, and upon the Effective Date of the
Committee’s Plan, the payment of expenses pursuant to the expense reimbursement provisions provided
in this Backstop Commitment Agreement, which order shall become a final order not subject to stay,
appeal or modification on or before October 15, 2009 (the “Approval Order”).
The obligation of the Backstop Purchaser hereunder is further conditioned upon the entry by
the Bankruptcy Court of an order (which has become final) confirming the Committee’s Plan (with
such changes as are reasonably satisfactory to the Backstop Purchasers and their counsel) (the
Committee’s Plan in the form confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, the “Confirmed Plan”), and
the effectiveness of such Confirmed Plan, on or before October 30, 2009.
The obligation of the Backstop Purchaser is further conditioned upon these two conditions as
of the Effective Date: (a) the ability of LLC to perform its obligations under the
Postconfirmation Organizational Documents, or (b) the ability of the Backstop Purchaser to enforce
its rights under the Postconfirmation Organizational Documents.
In the event the Committee’s Plan is confirmed and becomes Effective, the Backstop Purchaser
shall be: (y) paid within 10 days of demand the reasonable and documented fees, expenses,
disbursements and charges of the Backstop Purchaser incurred after July 29, 2009 relating to the
exploration and discussion of alternative financing structures to the Backstop Commitment or to
the preparation and negotiation of this Backstop Commitment Agreement, the Committee’s Plan, the
Postconfirmation Organizational Documents, and the proposed documentation and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without
2
limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Backstop Purchasers, and (z)
indemnified and held harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses, joint or several, which any such person or entity may incur, have asserted against
it or be involved in as a result of or arising out of or in any way related to this letter, the
matters referred to herein, the proposed Backstop Commitment contemplated hereby, the use of
proceeds thereunder or any related transaction or any claim, litigation, investigation or
proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any of such indemnified persons
is a party thereto, and to reimburse each of such indemnified persons upon 10 days of demand for
any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with any of the foregoing; provided,
however, that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any indemnified person, apply to
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent they have resulted from the
bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such indemnified person. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this letter, no indemnified person will be liable for any special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages in connection with its activities related to the Backstop
Commitment and the Offering. The terms set forth in this paragraph survive termination of this
Backstop Commitment Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether the
documentation for the Offering is executed and delivered.
This letter (a) is not assignable by the Creditors’ Committee without the prior written
consent of the Backstop Purchasers (and any purported assignment without such consent shall be
null and void), and (b) is intended to be solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and is not
intended to confer any benefits upon, or create any rights in favor of, any person other than the
parties hereto; provided, however, the First Lien Lender Parties shall be
considered third party beneficiaries of the parties hereof.
This Backstop Commitment Agreement sets forth the agreement of the Backstop Purchaser to fund
the Backstop Commitment on the terms described herein and shall be considered withdrawn if the
Backstop Purchaser has not received from the Creditors’ Committee a fully executed counterpart to
this’ Backstop Commitment Agreement on or before 5:00 p.m. on September 25, 2009.
The obligations of the Backstop Purchaser to fund the Backstop Commitment shall terminate and
all of the obligations of the Debtors (other than the obligations of the Debtors to pay the
reimbursable expenses and to satisfy their indemnification obligations as set forth herein) shall
be of no further force or effect, upon the giving of written notice of termination by the Backstop
Purchaser, in the event that items (a)-(c) set forth in the Committee’s Plan under the heading
“Conditions Precedent to Plan Effectiveness” shall not occur, each of which may be waived in
writing by the Backstop Purchaser.
THIS COMMITMENT LETTER WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
This Backstop Commitment Agreement may not be amended or waived except in writing signed by
the Creditors’ Committee and the Backstop Purchaser. This Backstop Commitment Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be an original,
3
and all of which, when taken together, will constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of this Backstop Commitment Agreement by facsimile or portable document format (PDF)
will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Backstop Commitment
Agreement.
This Backstop Commitment Agreement constitutes the entire understanding among the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and replaces and supersedes all prior agreements
and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof and shall become effective and binding upon (i) the mutual exchange of fully executed
counterparts and (ii) the entry of the Approval Order.
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors will use reasonable efforts to obtain an order
approving this Backstop Commitment Agreement by the Bankruptcy Court no later than September 25,
2009.

of exit from Chapter 11 is referred to herein as the “Effective

material respects) to add additional revolving or term loan
credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to

the Effective Date less the amount of senior secured pari passu
debt incurred pursuant to the Senior Secured Debt Basket (as
defined below); provided, that: |
|
|
|
|
|
(i) the maturity date of the new loans shall not be earlier

|
(v) subject to clauses (i) through (iii) above, any |

commitment reductions prior to the maturity
date of the Initial Term Loans. |

|
The financial institutions, if not
existing lenders or affiliates of existing
lenders, shall be reasonably satisfactory to

each existing and subsequently acquired or
organized direct or indirect subsidiary of

|
|
|
Security:
|
|
The facility and the guarantees will be
secured to the extent legally permissible by
substantially all the assets of Holdings, the

with the collateral securing the existing
pre-petition senior secured credit
facility. |
|

and companies under the number B 97,483 (“MagnaChip S.A.”), MAGNACHIP SEMICONDUCTOR
FINANCE COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (“MagnaChip Finance” and collectively with
MagnaChip S.A., “Borrowers”), MAGNACHIP SEMICONDUCTOR LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (“Holdings”), the Subsidiary Guarantors listed on the signature pages hereto (such
term and each other capitalized term used but not defined herein having the meaning given to it in
Section 1) (together with the Borrowers and Holdings, the “Loan Parties”), UBS AG,
STAMFORD BRANCH (the “Agent”), as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent for the
financial institutions party to the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined) as Lenders
(collectively, the “Lenders”).
RECITALS
A. Borrowers, Loan Parties, Agent, Lenders, UBS Securities LLC, as Lead Arranger, as
Documentation Agent and as Syndication Agent, UBS Loan Finance LLC, as Swingline Lender, and
Korea Exchange Bank, as Issuing Bank, are parties to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as
of
December 23, 2004 (as has been or may be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other
things, Lenders
agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, to make certain
loans and
other financial accommodations to Borrowers.
B. As of the date hereof, the Events of Default set forth on Exhibit A hereto have
occurred
and are continuing (the “Specified Defaults”).
C. As a result of the occurrence and continuation of the Specified Defaults, the Agent and
the Lenders have heretofore accelerated the Obligations and the Agent and the Lenders are
entitled to
exercise their default-related rights and remedies against the Borrowers and the other Loan
Parties under
the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, their right
to enforce
their Liens on the Collateral.
D. Pursuant to that certain Enforcement, Consent, Cash Collateral and Limited Forbearance
Agreement, dated as of June 11, 2009 (the “Enforcement Agreement”), among, inter
alios, the Agent,
certain of the Lenders, and the Loan Parties, the Lender Parties (as defined therein) agreed,
subject to the
terms and conditions thereof, among other things, to forbear from exercising their
default-related rights
and remedies against Borrowers or any other Loan Party solely with respect to the “Specified
Defaults”
referred to therein.
E. In accordance with the Enforcement Agreement, the Borrowers and certain other Loan
Parties commenced Chapter 11 cases by the filing of voluntary petitions for relief
(collectively, the “Case”) under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code entitled “Bankruptcy” with the
United
States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”).
F. The Forbearance Period (as defined in the Enforcement Agreement) has terminated
because the Confirmation Order has not been entered by the Bankruptcy Court by the date hereof
and,
therefore, the Agent and the Lenders are no longer under any obligation to forbear from
exercising their
default-related rights and remedies against Borrowers or any other Loan Party solely with respect
to the “Specified Defaults” referred to therein or the Specified Defaults defined above.
G. Notwithstanding the failure of the Bankruptcy Court to enter the Confirmation Order, the
Bankruptcy Court has entered an order confirming that certain Second Amended Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization Proposed by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of MagnaChip
Semiconductor Finance Company, et al. (the “Confirmed Plan”), and the Agent and the
Lenders support the Confirmed Plan.
H. In light of the foregoing, the Loan Parties have requested that the Agent and the Lenders
agree to temporarily forbear from exercising their default-related remedies against the Borrowers
and the other Loan Parties with respect to the Specified Defaults notwithstanding the existence of
the Specified Defaults and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the terms, covenants and conditions
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Confirmation by Borrowers of Obligations and Specified Defaults and Acknowledgment
of Certain Additional Matters. Each Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees

the Obligations or any guaranty thereof (collectively, the “Other Collateral”), (E)
foreclose or otherwise realize on any or all of the Collateral and Other Collateral, and/or
appropriate, set-off and apply to the payment of any or all of the Obligations, any or all of the
Collateral and Other Collateral, and/or (F)

take any other enforcement action or otherwise exercise any or all rights and remedies
provided for by any or all of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or applicable law.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Forbearance Period” means the period beginning on
the Effective Date and ending on the earliest to occur of (the occurrence of any event described
in clauses (a) through (c) below, a “Termination Event”) (a) a Forbearance Default, (b)
the date on which the Confirmed Plan becomes effective, and (c) October 30, 2009; and
“Forbearance Default” shall mean (x) the occurrence of any Event of Default other than the

entitled to make any request for Eurodollar Borrowings or elect to have any Loans converted into or

any direct or indirect owner of an equity interest in the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any
Affiliate of any of the foregoing, (iv) nothing herein shall restrict, impair or otherwise affect
the Agent’s or any Lender’s rights and remedies under any agreements (including, without
limitation, the Senior Subordinated Notes, the Senior Secured Notes and the Intercreditor
Agreement) containing subordination or other provisions in favor of any or all of the Agent and the
Lenders (including, without limitation, any rights or remedies available to the Agent or the
Lenders as a result of the occurrence or continuation of any Specified Default (such as the right
to issue a Payment Blockage Notice under (and as defined in) the Senior Subordinated Notes
Indenture)) or amend or modify any provision thereof, (v) nothing herein shall restrict, impair or
otherwise affect Agent’s right to file, record, publish or deliver a notice of default or document

or otherwise affect Agent’s or its representatives right to file, record, publish or deliver any
notice, filing, statement or any other document under any Loan Document (including, without

attachment, protection, preservation and/or perfection of any Liens of Agent on any of the
Collateral or Other Collateral. Any Forbearance Default shall constitute an immediate Event of

and each other Loan Party agrees that any or all of the Agent and the Lenders may at any time
thereafter proceed to exercise any and all of their respective rights and remedies under any or all
of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or applicable law, including,
without limitation, their
3
respective rights and remedies with respect to the Specified Defaults. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Agent and the Lenders

Extensions under any or all of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) charge
interest on any or all of the Obligations at the Default Rate, (iii) commence any legal or other
action to collect any or all of the Obligations from Borrowers, any other Loan Party, any
Collateral and/or Other Collateral, (iv) foreclose or otherwise realize on any or all of the
Collateral and Other Collateral, and/or appropriate, setoff or apply to the payment of any or all
of the Obligations, any or all of the Collateral and Other Collateral, and (v) take any other
enforcement action or otherwise exercise any or all rights and remedies provided for by any or all
of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Documents and/or applicable law, all of which rights and
remedies are fully reserved by the Agent and the Lenders.
(c) Any agreement by the Agent and the Lenders to extend the Forbearance Period or to waive
any Termination Event, if any, must be set forth in writing and signed by a duly authorized
signatory of each of Agent and the Required Lenders.
(d) Each Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges that the Agent and the Lenders have
not made any assurances concerning any possibility of an extension of the Forbearance Period,
waiver of any Termination Event or any other forbearance.
(e) The parties hereto agree that the running of all statutes of limitation or doctrine of
laches applicable to all claims or causes of action that Agent or any Lender may be entitled to
take or bring in order to enforce its rights and remedies against Borrowers or any other Loan Party
is, to the fullest extent permitted by law, tolled and suspended
during the Forbearance Period.

are entering into this Agreement and agreeing to the provisions herein in reliance upon, and as
consideration for, among other things, the general releases and indemnities contained in

Borrowers and the other Loan Parties hereunder.
SECTION 3. General Release; Indemnity.

whatsoever nature and kind, whether known or unknown, whether now existing or hereafter arising,
