                    4.7.4 Subscription Period. The Rights Offering shall commence on the Rights Offering Commencement Date. Each holder of an Allowed Bond Claim intending to participate in the Rights Offering must affirmatively make a binding election to exercise its Subscription Rights on or prior to the Subscription Expiration Date. After the Subscription Expiration Date, unexercised Subscription Rights shall be treated as acquired by the Put Parties and any exercise of such Subscription Rights by any entity other than the Put Parties shall be null and void and Reorganized Greektown shall not be obligated to honor any such purported exercise received by the Rights Offering Agent after the Subscription Expiration Date, regardless of when the documents relating to such exercise were sent.

                    4.7.5 Subscription Purchase Price. Each holder of a Subscription Right shall be required to pay, on or prior to the Rights Offering Funding Date, the Subscription Purchase Price for each Subscription Right exercised pursuant to the Rights Offering.

          The payments made in accordance with the Rights Offering shall be deposited and held by the Rights Offering Agent in the Rights Offering Trust Account.

In order to facilitate the exercise of the Subscription Rights, on the commencement date of the Rights Offering, the Debtors will distribute the Subscription Form to each holder of an Allowed Bond Claim as of the Rights Offering Record Date together with appropriate instructions for the proper completion, due execution and timely delivery of the Subscription Form. The Put Parties may adopt such additional detailed procedures consistent with the provisions of this Article IV to more efficiently administer the exercise of the Subscription Rights.

                    4.7.7 Transferability; Revocation. The Subscription Rights are not transferable. Any such transfer or attempted transfer is null and void and any purported transferee will not be treated as the holder of any Subscription Rights.

(i)

As soon as reasonably practicable in the reasonable discretion of the Litigation Trustee, the Litigation Trustee shall distribute all Cash on hand (treating as Cash for purposes of this Section any permitted investments under Section 4.12.11 hereof), except such amounts (A) as would be distributable to a holder of a Disputed General Unsecured Claim (as of the time of such distribution) if such Disputed General Unsecured Claims had been Allowed in the full amount asserted by the holder of such Claim prior to the time of such distribution (but only until such Claim is resolved), which amounts shall be held in the LT Disputed Claims Reserve, (B) as are reasonably necessary, in the sole discretion of the Litigation Trustee, to meet contingent liabilities and to maintain the value of the Litigation Trust during liquidation, (C) to pay reasonable expenses in the sole discretion of the Litigation Trustee (including, but not limited to, any taxes imposed on the Litigation Trust or in respect of the Litigation Trust Assets, including any taxes in respect of LT Disputed Claims Reserve), and (D) to satisfy other liabilities incurred by the Litigation Trust in accordance with the Plan or the Litigation Trust Agreement.

                    4.12.15 Federal Income Tax Treatment of Litigation Trust.

 

 

 

 

(i)

Litigation Trust Assets Treated as Owned by Creditors. For all federal income tax purposes, all parties (including, without limitation, the Debtors, Reorganized Greektown, the Litigation Trustee, and the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and Allowed Bond Claims) shall treat the transfer of the Litigation Trust Assets to the Litigation Trust including any amounts or other assets subsequently transferred to the Litigation Trust (but only at such time as actually transferred) for the benefit of the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and Allowed Bond Claims, whether Allowed on or after the Effective Date, and such other beneficiaries as described in the Litigation Distribution Schedule as (A) a transfer of the Litigation Trust Assets, for all purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (including sections 61(a)(12), 483, 1001, 1012, and 1274), directly to the beneficiaries of the Litigation Trust, followed by (B) the transfer by such persons to the Litigation Trust of such Litigation Trust Assets in exchange for beneficial interests in the Litigation Trust. Accordingly, the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims

41



 

 

 

 

 

and Allowed Bond Claims, whether Allowed on or after the Effective Date, and such other beneficiaries as described in the Litigation Distribution Schedule shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as the grantors and owners of their respective shares of the applicable Litigation Trust Assets.

 

 

 

 

(ii)

Tax Reporting.


 

 

 

 

(A)

Subject to definitive guidance from the IRS or a court of competent jurisdiction to the contrary (including the issuance of applicable Treasury Regulations, the receipt by the Litigation Trustee of a private letter ruling if the Litigation Trustee so requests one, or the receipt of an adverse determination by the IRS upon audit if not contested by the Litigation Trustee), all parties shall treat the Litigation Trust as a “liquidating trust” in accordance with Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-4(d), of which the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and Allowed Bond Claims, whether Allowed on or after the Effective Date, and such other beneficiaries as described in the Litigation Distribution Schedule are the grantors and beneficiaries. In the event an alternative treatment of the Litigation Trust is required for federal income tax purposes, the Litigation Trustee shall promptly notify in writing (or by comparable means) all holders of beneficial interests in the Litigation Trust, and anyone who subsequently becomes a holder, of such alternative treatment. The Litigation Trustee shall file returns for the Litigation Trust as a grantor trust pursuant to Treasury Regulations section 1.671-4(a) and in accordance with this Section 4.12.15. The Litigation Trustee also shall annually send to each record holder of a beneficial interest in the Litigation Trust a separate statement setting forth such holder’s share of items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit and shall instruct all such holders to report such items on their federal income tax returns or to forward the appropriate information to the beneficial holders with instructions to report such items on their federal income tax returns. The Litigation Trustee shall also file (or cause to be filed) any other statements, returns, or disclosures relating to the Litigation Trust that are required by any governmental unit. Subject to Section 4.12.15(ii)(C), the Litigation Trust’s taxable income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be allocated by reference to the manner in which an amount of Cash equal to such taxable income would be distributed (without regard to any restrictions on distribution described in the Plan) if, immediately prior to the deemed distribution, the Litigation

42



 

 

 

 

 

Trust had distributed all of its other assets (valued at their tax book value) in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Litigation Trust Agreement, up to the tax book value of the Litigation Trust Assets treated as contributed by the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and Allowed Bond Claims, whether Allowed on or after the Effective Date, and such other beneficiaries as described in the Litigation Distribution Schedule, adjusted for prior taxable income and loss, and taking into account all prior and concurrent distributions from the Litigation Trust. Similarly, taxable loss of the Litigation Trust shall be allocated by reference to the manner in which an economic loss would be borne immediately after a liquidating distribution of the remaining assets.

 

 

 

 

(B)

As soon as possible after the Effective Date, the Litigation Trustee shall make a good faith valuation of the value of the Litigation Trust Assets. Such valuation shall be made available from time to time, to the extent relevant, and all parties must consistently use such valuation for all federal income tax purposes.

 

 

 

 

(C)

Subject to definitive guidance from the Internal Revenue Service or a court of competent jurisdiction to the contrary (including the receipt by the Litigation Trustee of a private letter ruling if the Litigation Trustee requests one, or the receipt of an adverse determination by the Internal Revenue Service upon an audit if not contested by the Litigation Trustee), the Litigation Trustee shall (1) make an election pursuant to Treasury Regulations section 1.468B-9 to treat the LT Disputed Claims Reserve as a “disputed ownership fund” within the meaning of that section; (2) treat as taxable income or loss of the LT Disputed Claims Reserve, with respect to any given taxable year, the portion of the taxable income or loss of the Litigation Trust that would have been allocated to the holders of Disputed General Unsecured Claims had such Claims been Allowed on the Effective Date (but only for the portion of the taxable year with respect to which such Claims are unresolved), (3) treat as a distribution from the LT Disputed Claims Reserve any assets previously allocated to or retained on account of Disputed General Unsecured Claims as and when, and to the extent, such claims are subsequently resolved (following which time such assets shall no longer be held in the LT Disputed Claims Reserve), and (4) to the extent permitted by applicable law, report consistent with the foregoing for state and local income tax purposes

43



 

 

 

 

 

(including making any appropriate elections). The holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and Allowed Bond Claims, whether Allowed on or after the Effective Date, and such other beneficiaries as described in the Litigation Distribution Schedule shall report, for tax purposes, consistent with the foregoing.

 

 

 

 

(D)

The Litigation Trustee shall be responsible for payments, out of the Litigation Trust Assets, of any taxes imposed on the Litigation Trust or the Litigation Trust Assets, including the LT Disputed Claims Reserve.

 

 

 

 

(E)

The Litigation Trustee may request an expedited determination of taxes of the Litigation Trust, including the LT Disputed Claims Reserve, under section 505(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, for all returns filed for, or on behalf of, the Litigation Trust for all taxable periods through the dissolution of the Litigation Trust (including the LT Disputed Claims Reserve).

                    4.12.16 Dissolution of Litigation Trust. The Litigation Trustee and the Litigation Trust shall be discharged or dissolved, as the case may be, at such time as (i) the Litigation Trustee determines that the pursuit of additional Avoidance Actions is not likely to yield sufficient additional Litigation Claims Proceeds to justify further pursuit of such claims and (ii) all distributions of Litigation Claims Proceeds required to be made by the Litigation Trustee under the Plan have been made, but in no event shall the Litigation Trust be dissolved later than five (5) years from the Effective Date unless the Bankruptcy Court, upon motion made within the six (6) month period prior to such fifth (5th) anniversary (and, in the event for further extension, at least six (6) months prior to the end of the preceding extension), determines that a fixed period extension (not to exceed three (3) years, together with any prior extensions, without a favorable letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that any further extension would not adversely affect the status of the Litigation Trust as a liquidating trust for federal income tax purposes) is necessary to facilitate or complete the recovery on and liquidation of the Litigation Trust Assets. Upon dissolution of the Litigation Trust, any remaining Litigation Trust Assets shall be distributed in accordance with the Litigation Trust Agreement (which shall include the Litigation Distribution Schedule).

          4.13 Dissolution of the Creditors’ Committee.

                    4.13.1 The Creditors’ Committee shall continue to exercise those powers and perform those duties specified in section 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code, and shall perform such other duties as it may have been assigned by the Bankruptcy Court prior to the Effective Date.

Notwithstanding the above, the Debtors and Reorganized Greektown shall have no further obligation to fund, compensate or reimburse the Creditors’ Committee for any costs, fees or expenses incurred after the Effective Date, except for services rendered in connection with applications for allowance of Professional Claims pending on the Effective Date or filed after the Effective Date.

                    4.13.4 After the Effective Date, the Litigation Trustee shall have standing to bring an action in the Bankruptcy Court to compel payment of the installments of the Unsecured Distribution Fund provided in Sections 3.5.2, 3.6.2, 3.7.2, 3.8.2, 3.9.2, and 3.10.2.

Reorganized Greektown may seek any refinancing as shall be determined in the discretion of Reorganized Greektown, or the sale or other disposition of additional stock or other securities, subject to the limitations contained in this Plan. Under no circumstances shall any financing, refinancing or sale of securities, of any kind, obligate Reorganized Greektown to accelerate any payment obligation set forth in this Plan, except as explicitly set forth in this Plan.

                    4.15.1 Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, subject to the provisions and obligations set forth in this Plan, Reorganized Greektown may enter into such other transactions and may take any such actions as Reorganized Greektown may deem to be necessary or appropriate without the need to provide notice or to seek approval from the Bankruptcy Court.

                    4.15.2 After Confirmation, but before the occurrence of the Effective Date, subject to (i) applicable law and (ii) the provisions of this Plan, the Debtors, at the request of the Put Parties and, to the extent required under the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Ad Hoc Lender Group may enter into further or additional Restructuring Transactions which may include, among other things and without limitation, a change in the organizational form or the tax treatment of any of the Debtors or Reorganized Greektown or a change in any of the transactions described herein (provided that any such change is not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the Letter Agreement) or their tax treatment, a sale of assets by Holdings and/or Casino to a newly-formed entity, or the filing of registration statements of any or all of the Reorganizing Debtors or Newco or Newco Sub with the Securities and Exchange Commission and any appropriate state agency.

The conditions to Consummation of this Plan set forth in Sections 6.2.1, 6.2.5, and 6.27 may be waived in whole or in part by written consent of all of the Put Parties (and, solely with respect to Section 6.2.1 and to the extent required under the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Ad Hoc Lender Group) without further notice to, action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other Person. The conditions to Confirmation or Consummation of this Plan set forth in Section 6.1.2 and Section 6.2.6 may only be extended or waived by written consent of both (a) the holders of a majority of

51


the principal amount of the Secured Claims under the Pre-petition Credit Agreement, and (b) the Debtors; provided, however, that if, in the case of either Section 6.1.2 or 6.2.6, the failure to satisfy such condition is directly caused by any action or inaction (after a written request from the Put Parties requesting that action be taken which is required to effect the provisions of the Stipulation) on the part of the Debtors or the DIP Agent or the Pre-petition Agent, such condition can be extended or waived without the consent of the Debtors; provided further, however, that the Debtors shall agree to grant such waiver or extension unless in the proper exercise of their fiduciary duties they determine that such consent should not be provided under the circumstances. The failure of the Put Parties, the Noteholder Plan Proponents, or the Pre-petition Lenders to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights, and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right, which may be asserted at any time.

          6.4 Effect of Non-Occurrence of Conditions to the Effective Date. Each of the conditions to Consummation must be satisfied or waived pursuant to Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 hereof. If the conditions to Consummation have not been satisfied or waived pursuant to Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 hereof by June 30, 2010, unless such date is extended or waived pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof, the Confirmation Order shall be vacated according to its terms. Additionally, if the conditions to Consummation have not been satisfied or waived pursuant to Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 hereof, then upon motion by one or more of the Noteholder Plan Proponents made before the Effective Date and following a hearing on such motion, the Confirmation Order may be vacated by the Bankruptcy Court; provided, however, that notwithstanding the Filing of such motion to vacate, the Confirmation Order may not be vacated if the Effective Date occurs before the Bankruptcy Court enters a Final Order granting such motion. If the Confirmation Order is vacated pursuant to this Section 6.4 or otherwise, then except as provided in any Final Order vacating the Confirmation Order, this Plan will be null and void in all respects, including the discharge of Claims and termination of Interests pursuant to this Plan and section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code and the assumptions, assignments, and rejections of executory contracts or unexpired leases pursuant to Article XIII, and nothing contained in this Plan or the Disclosure Statement shall: (1) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims, Interests, Causes of Action or Retained Actions; (2) prejudice in any manner the rights of any Debtor or any other Person; or (3) constitute an admission, acknowledgment, offer, or undertaking of any sort by any Debtor or any other Person.

          7.4 Releases by Holders of Claims and Interests. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan on or after the Effective Date, Holders of Claims and Interests shall be deemed to have conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever released and discharged the Released Parties from any and all claims, interests, obligations, rights, suits, damages, causes of action, remedies, and liabilities whatsoever, including Exculpated Claims, any derivative claims asserted on behalf of any Debtor, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise, that such Person would have been entitled to assert (whether individually or collectively), based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Debtors, the Debtors’ restructuring, a Restructuring Transaction, the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases, the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any security of the Debtors, the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Interest that is treated in this Plan, the business or contractual arrangements between

          7.5 Exculpation. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, effective as of the Effective Date, no Released Party shall have or incur, and each Released Party is hereby released and exculpated from, any claim, obligation, cause of action, or liability for any Exculpated Claim, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct, but in all respects such Released Parties shall be entitled to reasonably rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities pursuant to this Plan. The Released Parties have, and on the Effective Date shall be deemed to have, participated in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to the distributions made pursuant to this Plan, and therefore are not, and on account of such distributions, shall not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of this Plan or such distributions made pursuant to this Plan.

          7.6 Injunction.

54


because one or more of the Debtors has been a Debtor under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, has been insolvent before the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases (or during the Chapter 11 Cases but before the Debtors are granted or denied a discharge), or has not paid a debt that is dischargeable in the Chapter 11 Cases.

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

          7.12 Reimbursement or Contribution. If the Bankruptcy Court disallows a Claim for reimbursement or contribution of a Person pursuant to section 502(e)(1)(B) of the

55


Bankruptcy Code, then to the extent that such Claim is contingent as of the time of allowance or disallowance, such Claim shall be forever disallowed and expunged notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless prior to the Confirmation Date: (1) such Claim has been adjudicated as non-contingent; or (2) the relevant Holder of a Claim has Filed a non-contingent Proof of Claim on account of such Claim and a Final Order has been entered prior to the Confirmation Date determining such Claim as no longer contingent.

ARTICLE VIII

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTION

          8.1 Distributions on Claims Allowed as of the Effective Date. Except as otherwise provided for herein, as agreed by the relevant parties, or ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, distributions on account of Claims Allowed on or before the Effective Date under this Plan shall be made on the Distribution Date; provided, however, that Allowed Administrative Claims with respect to liabilities incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of business during the Chapter 11 Cases or assumed by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date shall be paid or performed in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms and conditions of any controlling agreements, course of dealing, course of business, or industry practice.

          8.2 No Interest On Claims. Unless otherwise specifically provided for in this Plan, the Confirmation Order, the DIP Facility Order, or as otherwise required by section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, interest shall not accrue or be paid on Claims, and no Holder of any Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim, right, or Interest. Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing, interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Disputed Claim in respect of the period from the Effective Date to the date a final distribution is made when and if such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

          8.3 Disbursing Agent. The Disbursing Agent or the Litigation Trustee, as applicable shall make all distributions required under this Plan. The Debtors and Reorganized Greektown, as applicable, shall have the authority, in their sole discretion, to enter into agreements with one or more Disbursing Agents to facilitate the distributions required hereunder. As a condition to serving as a Disbursing Agent, a Disbursing Agent must: (a) affirm its obligation to facilitate the prompt distribution of any documents; (b) affirm its obligation to facilitate the prompt distribution of any recoveries or distributions required hereunder; and (c) waive any right or ability to setoff, deduct from, or assert any Lien or encumbrance against the distributions required hereunder that are to be distributed by such Disbursing Agent. Reorganized Greektown shall reimburse any Disbursing Agent for reasonable and necessary services performed by it (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and documented out-of-pocket expenses) in connection with the making of distributions under this Plan to Holders of Allowed Claims, without the need

56


for the Filing of an application with, or approval by, the Bankruptcy Court. The Disbursing Agent shall submit detailed invoices to the Debtors or Reorganized Greektown, as applicable, for all fees and expenses for which the Disbursing Agent seeks reimbursement and the Debtors or Reorganized Greektown, as applicable, shall pay those amounts that they, in their sole discretion, deem reasonable, and shall object in writing to those fees and expenses, if any, that the Debtors or Reorganized Greektown, as applicable, deem to be unreasonable. To the extent that there are any disputes that the reviewing parties are unable to resolve with the Disbursing Agent, the reviewing parties shall report to the Bankruptcy Court as to whether there are any unresolved disputes regarding the reasonableness of the Disbursing Agent’s (and their attorneys’) fees and expenses. Any such unresolved disputes may be submitted to the Bankruptcy Court for resolution.

          8.4 Distribution of Unsecured Distribution Fund. The Disbursing Agent shall, after receiving each installment payment of the Unsecured Distribution Amount, establish reserves for Disputed Claims pursuant to Section 8.9.3 of the Plan. As soon as practicable thereafter, the Disbursing Agent shall distribute remaining funds in the Unsecured Distribution Fund to the Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims in the General Unsecured Classes pursuant to sections 3.5 through 3.10 hereof.

          8.5 Surrender of Securities or Instruments.

                    8.5.1 On or before the Distribution Date, or as soon as practical thereafter, each Holder of an Instrument shall surrender such Instrument to the Disbursing Agent, and such Instrument shall be cancelled (automatically on the Effective Date and without regard to surrender) solely with respect to the Debtors and such cancellation shall not alter the obligations or rights of any non-Debtor third parties vis-a-vis one another to such Instruments; provided, however, that this Section 8.4 shall not apply to any Claims Reinstated pursuant to the terms of this Plan. In the event an Instrument has been lost, stolen, destroyed, or is otherwise unavailable, the Holder of a Claim shall, in lieu of surrendering the Instrument, execute an affidavit of loss setting forth the unavailability of the Instrument and provide indemnity reasonably satisfactory to Disbursing Agent to hold the Disbursing Agent harmless from any liabilities, damages, and costs incurred in treating the Holder as a Holder of an Allowed Claim. The acceptance of the affidavit of loss and indemnity by the Disbursing Agent shall be deemed, for all purposes pursuant to this Plan, to be a surrender of such Instrument. No distribution of property hereunder shall be made to or on behalf of any such Holder unless and until such Instrument is received by the Disbursing Agent or the unavailability of such Instrument is reasonably established to the satisfaction of the Disbursing Agent. Any Holder who fails to surrender or cause to be surrendered such Instrument, or fails to execute and deliver an affidavit of loss and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Disbursing Agent prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, shall be deemed to have forfeited all rights and Claims in respect of such Instrument and shall not participate in any distribution hereunder, and all property in respect of such forfeited distribution, including any dividends or interest attributable thereto, shall revert to Reorganized Greektown notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary.

                    8.5.2 On the close of business on the Effective Date, the transfer ledgers for the Bonds shall be closed, and there shall be no further changes in the record holders of any Bonds. The Debtors and the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of the

57


Bonds occurring after the Effective Date. The Debtors and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal for all purposes hereunder with only those record holders stated on the transfer ledgers of the Indenture Trustee as of the close of business on the Effective Date.

                    8.5.3 On the Effective Date, the Indenture shall be deemed canceled, terminated, and of no further force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such cancellation of the Indenture shall not impair the rights of holders of the Bonds to receive distributions on account of such Allowed Bond Claims pursuant to the Plan, nor shall such cancellation impair the rights and duties under the Indenture as between the Indenture Trustee and holders of Allowed Bond Claims.

                    8.5.4 Upon the performance by the Indenture Trustee required hereunder, the Indenture Trustee, and its successors and assigns, shall be relieved of all obligations associated with the Indenture.

          8.6 Delivery of Distributions in General. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, and notwithstanding any authority to the contrary, distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be made by the Disbursing Agent or Litigation Trustee (a) at the addresses set forth on the Proofs of Claim Filed by such Holders of Claims or Interests (or at the last known addresses of such Holders of Claims or Interests if no Proof of Claim is Filed or if the Debtors have been notified in writing of a change of address), (b) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Disbursing Agent or Litigation Trustee after the date of any related Proof of Claim, (c) at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if no Proof of Claim has been Filed and the Disbursing Agent or Litigation Trustee has not received a written notice of a change of address, or (d) on any counsel that has appeared in the Chapter 11 Cases on the Holder’s behalf. If any distribution to a Holder of a Claim is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such Holder shall be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent or the Litigation Trustee is notified of such Holder’s then current address, at which time all missed distributions shall be made to such Holder without interest. Amounts in respect of undeliverable distributions shall be returned to Reorganized Greektown or Litigation Trust, as applicable, until such distributions are claimed. All claims for undeliverable distributions shall be made on or before the later of (i) the first anniversary of the Effective Date or (ii) six months after such Holders’ Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. After such date, all unclaimed property shall revert to Reorganized Greektown. Upon such reversion, the Claim of any Holder of a Claim and its successors and assigns with respect to such property shall be discharged and forever barred notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. The Debtors, Reorganized Greektown, the Disbursing Agent, and the Litigation Trustee, as applicable, shall not incur any liability whatsoever on account of any distributions under this Plan except for gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          8.7 Compliance with Tax Requirements and Allocations. In connection with this Plan, to the extent applicable, Reorganized Greektown, the Disbursing Agent and the Litigation Trustee shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions pursuant to this Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, Reorganized Greektown, the Disbursing Agent, and the Litigation Trustee shall be

58


authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under this Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes, withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such distributions, or establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable and appropriate. Reorganized Greektown reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to allocate all distributions made under this Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, other spousal awards, Liens, and encumbrances

          8.8 Distributions for Tax Purposes. For tax purposes, distributions in full or partial satisfaction of Allowed Claims shall be allocated first to the principal amount of Allowed Claims, with any excess allocated to unpaid interest that accrued on such Claims.

          8.9 Procedures for Treating and Resolving Disputed and Contingent Claims.

                    8.9.1 Payments and Distributions on Disputed Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, or as agreed to by the relevant parties, distributions under this Plan on account of Disputed Claims that become Allowed after the Effective Date shall be made on the first Periodic Distribution Date that is at least thirty (30) days after the Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, or in accordance with the Litigation Trust Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that Disputed Administrative Claims with respect to liabilities incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of business during the Chapter 11 Cases or assumed by the Debtors on or before the Effective Date that become Allowed after the Effective Date shall be paid or performed in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms and conditions of any controlling agreements, course of dealing, course of business, or industry practice.

                    8.9.2 No Distributions Pending Allowance. Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in this Plan and except as otherwise agreed by the relevant parties: (a) no payments or distributions shall be made with respect to all or any portion of a Disputed Claim unless and until all such disputes in connection with such Disputed Claim have been resolved by settlement or Final Order and the Disputed Claim has become an Allowed Claim; and (b) any Person that holds both an Allowed Claim and a Disputed Claim shall not receive any distribution on the Allowed Claim unless and until all objections to the Disputed Claim have been resolved by settlement or Final Order and the Claims have been Allowed. All distributions made pursuant to this Plan on account of an Allowed Claim shall be made together with any dividends, payments, or other distributions made on account of, as well as any obligations arising from, the distributed property as if such Allowed Claim had been an Allowed Claim on the dates distributions were previously made to Holders of Allowed Claims included in the applicable Class.

                    8.9.3 Distribution Reserves. On the Effective Date, the Disbursing Agent shall establish one or more distribution reserves for the purpose of effectuating distributions to Holders of Disputed Claims pending the allowance or disallowance of such Claims in accordance with this Plan in their sole discretion. Reorganized Greektown may request estimation for any Disputed Claim that is contingent or unliquidated (but are not required to do so). Also on the Effective Date, the LT Disputed Claims Reserve shall be established in accordance with the Litigation Trust Agreement.

59


                    8.9.4 No Recourse to Debtors or Reorganized Greektown. Any Disputed Claim that ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim shall be entitled to receive its applicable distribution under this Plan solely from the distribution reserve established on account of such Disputed Claim, or in accordance with the Litigation Trust Agreement, as applicable. In no event shall any Holder of a Disputed Claim have any recourse with respect to distributions made, or to be made, under this Plan to Holders of such Claims to any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, Newco or Newco Sub on account of such Disputed Claim, regardless of whether such Disputed Claim shall ultimately become an Allowed Claim, or regardless of whether sufficient property remains available for distribution in the applicable distribution reserve established on account of such Disputed Claim at the time such Claim becomes entitled to receive a distribution under this Plan.

                    8.9.5 Fractional Payments. No fractional shares of New Common Stock will be issued or distributed under this Plan. Each Person entitled to receive New Common Stock will receive the total number of whole shares of New Common Stock to which such Person is entitled. Whenever distributions to a Person would otherwise call for distribution of a fraction of a share of New Common Stock, the actual distribution of shares of such New Common Stock will be rounded to the next higher or lower whole number with fractions of less than or equal to one-half being rounded to the next lower whole number. The total number or shares of New Common Stock will be adjusted as necessary to account for the rounding provided herein. Any other provision of this Plan notwithstanding, neither Reorganized Greektown nor the Litigation Trust will be required to make distributions or payments of fractions of dollars. Whenever any payment of a fraction of a dollar under this Plan would otherwise be called for, the actual payment made will reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar (up or down), which half dollars being rounded down.

                    8.9.6 Failure to Present Checks. Checks issued by a Disbursing Agent or the Litigation Trust on account of Allowed Claims shall be null and void if not negotiated within 120 days after the issuance of such check. In an effort to ensure that all Holders of Allowed Claims receive their allocated distributions, no later than 120 days after the issuance of such checks, Reorganized Greektown and the Litigation Trustee shall File with the Bankruptcy Court a list of the Holders of any un-negotiated checks. This list shall be maintained and updated periodically in the sole discretion of Reorganized Greektown and Litigation Trustee for as long as the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases stay open. Requests for reissuance of any check shall be made directly to the Disbursing Agent or Litigation Trustee by the Holder of the relevant Allowed Claim with respect to which such check originally was issued. Any Holder of an Allowed Claim holding an un-negotiated check that does not request reissuance of such un-negotiated check within 180 days after the date of mailing or other delivery of such check shall have its Claim for such un-negotiated check discharged and expunged and be discharged and forever barred, estopped, and enjoined from asserting any such Claim against Reorganized Greektown, the Litigation Trust, or their property. In such cases, any Cash held for payment on account of such Claims shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and become property of Reorganized Greektown or the Litigation Trust, as applicable, free of any Claims of such Holder with respect thereto. Nothing contained herein shall require Reorganized Greektown or Litigation Trustee to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim.

60


                    8.9.7 Manner of Payment Pursuant to This Plan. Any payment in Cash to be made pursuant to this Plan shall be made at the election of Reorganized Greektown, the Disbursing Agent, or the Litigation Trustee, as applicable, by check or by wire transfer.

Except as otherwise explicitly provided for in this Plan, on the Effective Date, all property comprising assets of the Estates of the Reorganizing Debtors (including Retained Actions, but excluding property that has been abandoned or settled pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court) shall vest in Reorganized Casino, Reorganized Builders, Reorganized Realty, or Reorganized Holdings, or the Litigation Trust, as applicable, free and clear of all Claims, Liens, charges, encumbrances, right, and Interests of Creditors and equity security Holders. All property comprising assets of the Estates of the Non-reorganizing Debtors shall vest in Reorganized Casino. As of and following the Effective Date, Reorganized Greektown may operate their businesses and use, acquire, and dispose of property and settle and compromise Claims or Interests without the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court, free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules, other than those restrictions expressly imposed by this Plan and the Confirmation Order.

ARTICLE XII

UNITED STATES TRUSTEE FEES and REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

          12.1 Payment of U.S. Trustee Fees. Reorganized Greektown shall pay to the United States Trustee the appropriate sum required pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a)(6) and shall provide

64


the United States Trustee with an appropriate affidavit indicating the Cash disbursements for the relevant period until such time as the Chapter 11 Cases are administratively closed.

          12.2 MGCB Supervision. Pursuant to the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act, M.C.L. 432.201 et seq., the MGCB shall have continuing regulatory authority over any Debtor, Reorganized Greektown, Reorganized Holdings, Newco, Newco Sub and their successors and assigns.

ARTICLE XIII

EXECUTORY CONTRACTS

          13.1 Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. All executory contracts and unexpired leases as to which any Debtor is a party shall be deemed automatically assumed in accordance with the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date, unless such executory contracts or unexpired leases (i) shall have been previously rejected by the Debtors by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court; (ii) shall be the subject of a motion to reject or assume such contract or lease pending on the Effective Date; (iii) shall have expired or terminated on or prior to the Effective Date (and not otherwise extended) pursuant to their own terms; (iv) are listed on the schedule of rejected executory contracts and unexpired leases included in the Plan Supplement, provided, however, that the Noteholder Plan Proponents reserve their right, at any time prior to the Effective Date, to amend such schedule to delete therefrom or add thereto an executory contract or unexpired lease with notice to the affected Creditor only; or (v) are otherwise rejected pursuant to the terms of this Plan; provided, however, that any collective bargaining agreement to which the Debtors are a party may only be rejected in accordance with section 1113 of the Bankruptcy Code. Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of the rejections and assumptions contemplated hereby pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date. Each executory contract or unexpired lease assumed pursuant to this Section 13.1 shall vest in, and be fully enforceable by, the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as modified by the provisions of this Plan, any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing or providing for its assumption, or applicable federal law. The Debtors reserve the right to file a motion on or before the Effective Date to assume or reject any executory contract or unexpired lease.

          13.2 Modifications and Rights Related to Unexpired Leases and Executory Contracts. Each executory contract and unexpired lease that is assumed and relates to the use, ability to acquire, or occupancy of real or personal property shall include (i) all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument, or other document that in any manner affect such executory contract or unexpired lease, and (ii) all executory contracts or unexpired leases, appurtenant to the premises, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, uses, or franchises, and any other interests in real estate or rights in rem related to such premises, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been rejected pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court or is otherwise rejected as part of this Plan. In the event that the Effective Date does not occur, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction with respect to any request to extend the deadline for assuming any unexpired leases pursuant to section 365(d)(4) of the

65


Bankruptcy Code. Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to executory contracts and unexpired leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the pre-petition nature of the executory contract or unexpired lease, or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claim that may arise in connection therewith.

          13.3 Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. If there is a dispute regarding (a) the nature or amount of any Cure, (b) the ability of the Reorganized Debtor, Newco, Newco Sub or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed, or (c) any other matter pertaining to the assumption, the Cure shall occur following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption or assumption and assignment, as the case may be; provided, however, if there is a dispute as to the amount of Cure that cannot be resolved consensually among the parties, the Noteholder Plan Proponents or Reorganized Greektown shall have the right to reject the contract or lease for a period of five (5) days after entry of a Final Order establishing a Cure amount in excess of that provided by the Debtors or Reorganized Greektown. Upon reasonable request, the Notice Parties shall be provided access to information regarding the Debtors’ or Reorganized Greektown’ proposed Cure payments.

          13.4 Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. On the Effective Date, each executory contract and unexpired lease listed in the Plan Supplement shall be rejected pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code but only to the extent that any such contract is an executory contract or unexpired lease. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the rejections described above, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the earlier of (i) the Confirmation Date or (ii) the date that the affected Creditor party to such lease or executory contract is provided written notice of such rejection. All Allowed Claims arising from the rejection of unexpired leases and executory contracts shall be classified as General Unsecured Claims and shall be treated in accordance with Article III of this Plan.

          13.5 Rejection Damages Bar Date. If the rejection by a Debtor, pursuant to this Plan or otherwise, of an executory contract or unexpired lease results in a Claim, then such Claim shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, Newco or Newco Sub, or the properties of any of them unless a Proof of Claim is Filed with the Claims Agent and served upon counsel to the Debtors or Reorganized Greektown within thirty (30) days after the later of (a) the Effective Date or (b) notice that the executory contract or unexpired lease has been rejected, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. Any Proofs of Claim arising from the rejection of the Debtors’ executory contracts or unexpired leases that are not timely Filed shall be disallowed automatically, forever barred from assertion, and shall not be enforceable against the Reorganized Debtor, Newco or Newco Sub or further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or other Person, and any Claim arising out of the rejection of the executory contract or unexpired lease shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged, notwithstanding anything in the Schedules or a Proof of Claim to the contrary.

          13.6 Reservation of Rights. Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any contract or lease in this Plan, the Plan Supplement, nor anything contained in this Plan, shall constitute an

66


admission by the Noteholder Plan Proponents that any such contract or lease is in fact an executory contract or unexpired lease or that any Reorganized Debtor, Newco or Newco Sub has any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption or rejection, the Noteholder Plan Proponents or Reorganized Greektown, as applicable, shall have thirty (30) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.
