Subject to Article VI hereof, all distributions made to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests (as applicable) in any Class are intended to be and shall be final.

 

B. Corporate and Organizational Existence.

 

The Reorganized Debtor shall continue to exist, pursuant to its organizational documents in effect prior to the Effective Date, except to the extent such organizational documents are amended by the Plan, without any prejudice to any right to terminate such existence (whether by merger or otherwise) in accordance with applicable law after the Effective Date. To the extent such documents are amended on or prior to the Effective Date, such documents are deemed to be amended pursuant to the Plan without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

The Confirmation Order shall, and shall be deemed to, pursuant to sections 363 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, authorize, among other things, all actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect any transaction described in, contemplated by, or necessary to effectuate the Plan, including the Restructuring Transactions.

 

D. Reorganized Debtor.

 

On the Effective Date, the New Board shall be established, and the Reorganized Debtor shall adopt its New Organizational Documents. The Reorganized Debtor shall be authorized to adopt any other agreements, documents, and instruments and to take any other actions contemplated under the Plan as necessary to consummate the Plan.

The Debtor and Reorganized Debtor will be entitled to transfer funds between and among themselves as they determine to be necessary or appropriate to enable the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, to satisfy their obligations under the Plan. Except as set forth herein, any changes in intercompany account balances resulting from such transfers will be accounted for and settled in accordance with the Debtor’s historical intercompany account settlement practices and will not violate the terms of the Plan.

 

From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor, subject to any applicable limitations set forth in any post-Effective Date agreement, including the Exit Facility Loan Agreement, shall have the right and authority without further order of the Bankruptcy Court to raise additional capital and obtain additional financing, subject to the New Organizational Documents, as the board of directors or board of managers of the Reorganized Debtor deems appropriate.

 

22

 

 

E. Sources of Consideration for Plan Distributions.

 

The Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall fund distributions under the Plan with: (1) Cash on hand, including Cash from operations; (2) the New Common Equity; and (3) the Exit Facility.

 

1. Exit Facility.

 

On, or as reasonably practicable following, the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall enter into the Exit Facility, pursuant to the Exit Facility Documents.

 

To the extent applicable, Confirmation of the Plan shall be deemed (a) approval of the Exit Facility (including the transactions and related agreements contemplated thereby, and all actions to be taken, undertakings to be made, and obligations to be incurred and fees and expenses to be paid by the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, in connection therewith), to the extent not approved by the Bankruptcy Court previously, and (b) authorization for the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, to, without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, (i) execute and deliver those documents and agreements necessary or appropriate to pursue or obtain the Exit Facility, including the Exit Facility Documents, and incur and pay any fees and expenses in connection therewith, and (ii) act or take action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or vote, consent, authorization, or approval of any Person, subject to such modifications as the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, may deem to be necessary to consummate the Exit Facility.

 

As of the Effective Date, all of the Liens and security interests to be granted in accordance with the Exit Facility Documents: (a) shall be deemed to be granted; (b) shall be legal, valid, binding, automatically perfected, non-avoidable, and enforceable Liens on, and security interests in, the applicable collateral specified in the Exit Facility Documents; and (c) shall not be subject to avoidance, recharacterization, or equitable subordination for any purposes whatsoever and shall not constitute preferential transfers, fraudulent transfers, or fraudulent conveyances under the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable non-bankruptcy law, and the Exit Facility Agent for the benefit of the lenders under the Exit Facility Loan Agreement shall have a valid, binding, perfected, non-avoidable, and enforceable first-priority lien on and security interest in the collateral specified in the Exit Facility Documents. To the extent provided in the Exit Facility Documents, the Exit Facility Agent or holder(s) of Liens under the Exit Facility Documents are authorized to file with the appropriate authorities mortgages, financing statements and other documents, and to take any other action in order to evidence, validate, and perfect such Liens or security interests. The guarantees, mortgages, pledges, Liens, and other security interests granted to secure the obligations arising under the Exit Facility Documents have been granted in good faith, for legitimate business purposes, and for reasonably equivalent value as an inducement to the lenders thereunder to extend credit thereunder and shall be deemed to not constitute a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer and shall not otherwise be subject to avoidance, recharacterization, or subordination for any purposes whatsoever and shall not constitute preferential transfers or fraudulent conveyances under the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable nonbankruptcy law, and the priorities of such Liens and security interests shall be as set forth in the Exit Facility Documents. The Reorganized Debtor and the persons and entities granted such Liens and security interests shall be authorized to make all filings and recordings, and to obtain all governmental approvals and consents necessary to establish and perfect such Liens and security interests under the provisions of the applicable state, federal, or other law that would be applicable in the absence of the Plan and the Confirmation Order (it being understood that perfection shall occur automatically by virtue of the entry of the Confirmation Order and any such filings, recordings, approvals, and consents shall not be required), and will thereafter cooperate to make all other filings and recordings that otherwise would be necessary under applicable law to give notice of such Liens and security interests to third parties.

 

23

 

 

2. Issuance of New Common Equity.

 

On the Effective Date, Reorganized Debtor shall issue the New Common Equity. The issuance of the New Common Equity by the Reorganized Debtor shall be authorized without the need for any further corporate action or without any further action by the Holders of Claims or Interests. The Reorganized Debtor shall be authorized to issue a certain number of shares, units or equity interests (as the case may be based on how the New Common Equity is denominated) of New Common Equity required to be issued under the Plan and pursuant to its New Organizational Documents and otherwise consistent with the Restructuring Support Agreement (and the exhibits thereto).

 

All of the shares, units, or equity interests (as the case may be based on how the New Common Equity is denominated) of New Common Equity issued pursuant to the Plan shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable. Each distribution and issuance referred to in Article VI hereof shall be governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan applicable to such distribution or issuance and by the terms and conditions of the instruments evidencing or relating to such distribution or issuance, which terms and conditions shall bind each Entity receiving such distribution or issuance. The New Common Equity will not be registered under the Securities Act or listed on any exchange as of the Effective Date.

 

F. Vesting of Assets in the Reorganized Debtor.

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Confirmation Order, the Plan, or any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated in, or entered into in connection with or pursuant to, the Plan, on the Effective Date, all property in the Estate, all Causes of Action, and any property acquired by the Debtor pursuant to the Plan shall vest in the Reorganized Debtor, free and clear of all Liens, Claims, charges, or other encumbrances. On and after the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Reorganized Debtor may operate its business and may use, acquire, or dispose of property and compromise or settle any Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules. For the avoidance of doubt, Reorganized Debtor shall not be treated as being liable on any Claim that is discharged pursuant to the Plan.

 

24

 

 

G. Cancelation of Existing Securities and Agreements.

 

On the Effective Date, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Plan (and with respect to the Unsecured Notes Claims and Unsecured Notes Indenture, as provided in the paragraph below), all notes, instruments, certificates, and other documents evidencing Claims or Interests shall be canceled, and the obligations of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor and any non-Debtor Affiliates thereunder or in any way related thereto shall be discharged and deemed satisfied in full.

 

Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, all notes, instruments, certificates, and other documents evidencing Claims under the Unsecured Notes Indenture shall be canceled, and the obligations of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor thereunder or in any way related thereto shall be discharged and deemed satisfied in full, and the Unsecured Notes Trustee shall be released from all duties thereunder. The Debtor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate with the Unsecured Notes Trustee under the Unsecured Notes Indenture for the surrender and cancelation of the Unsecured Notes; provided that pursuant to the terms of the Plan all Unsecured Notes Claims shall be deemed canceled and discharged as of the Effective Date.

 

H. Corporate Action.

 

On or before the Effective Date, as applicable, all actions contemplated under the Plan shall be deemed authorized and approved in all respects, including: (1) adoption or assumption, as applicable, of the Compensation and Benefits Programs; (2) selection of the directors and officers for the Reorganized Debtor; (3) the issuance and distribution of the New Common Equity; (4) implementation of the Restructuring Transactions; (5) entry into the Exit Facility Documents, as applicable; (6) all other actions contemplated under the Plan (whether to occur before, on, or after the Effective Date); (7) adoption of the New Organizational Documents; (8) the rejection, assumption, or assumption and assignment, as applicable, of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; and (9) all other acts or actions contemplated or reasonably necessary or appropriate to promptly consummate the Restructuring Transactions contemplated by the Plan (whether to occur before, on, or after the Effective Date). All matters provided for in the Plan involving the corporate structure of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, and any corporate action required by the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be in effect, without any requirement of further action by the Security holders, members, directors, or officers of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable. On or (as applicable) prior to the Effective Date, the appropriate officers of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall be authorized and (as applicable) directed to issue, execute, and deliver the agreements, documents, Securities, and instruments contemplated under the Plan (or necessary or desirable to effect the transactions contemplated under the Plan) in the name of and on behalf of the Reorganized Debtor, including the New Common Equity, the New Organizational Documents, the Exit Facility Documents, and any and all other agreements, documents, Securities, and instruments relating to the foregoing. The authorizations and approvals contemplated by this Article IV.H shall be effective notwithstanding any requirements under non-bankruptcy law.

 

I. New Organizational Documents.

 

On or immediately prior to the Effective Date, the New Organizational Documents shall be automatically adopted by the Reorganized Debtor. The New Organizational Documents will (a) authorize the issuance of the New Common Equity and (b) prohibit the issuance of non-voting equity Securities, to the extent required under section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

25

 

 

J. Indemnification Obligations.

 

All indemnification provisions currently in place consistent with applicable law (whether in the by-laws, certificates of incorporation, other organizational documents, board resolutions, indemnification agreements, employment contracts, or otherwise) as of the Petition Date for the current and former directors, officers, managers, employees, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, and other professionals of the Debtor, as applicable, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be reinstated and remain intact, irrevocable, and shall survive the Effective Date on terms no less favorable to such current and former directors, officers, managers, employees, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, and other professionals of the Debtor than the indemnification provisions in place prior to the Effective Date.

 

K. Directors and Officers of the Reorganized Debtor.

 

As of the Effective Date, the term of the current members of the board of directors of the Debtor shall expire, such current directors shall be deemed to have resigned, and all of the directors for the initial term of the New Board shall be appointed. To the extent not previously disclosed, the Debtor will disclose prior to or at the Confirmation Hearing, the affiliations of each Person proposed to serve on the New Board or as an officer of the Reorganized Debtor, and, to the extent such Person is an insider other than by virtue of being a manager, director or officer, the nature of any compensation for such Person.

 

L. Effectuating Documents; Further Transactions.

 

On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor, and their respective officers, directors, members, or managers (as applicable), are authorized to and may issue, execute, deliver, file, or record such contracts, Securities, instruments, releases, and other agreements or documents and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement, and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Exit Facility entered into, and the Securities issued pursuant to the Plan in the name of and on behalf of the Reorganized Debtor, without the need for any approvals, authorization, or consents except for those expressly required pursuant to the Plan.

 

M. Section 1146 Exemption.

 

To the fullest extent permitted by section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfers (whether from the Debtor to the Reorganized Debtor or to any other Person) of property under the Plan or pursuant to: (1) the issuance, distribution, transfer, or exchange of any debt, equity Security, or other interest in the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, including the New Common Equity; (2) the Restructuring Transactions; (3) the creation, modification, consolidation, termination, refinancing, and/or recording of any mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest, or the securing of additional indebtedness by such or other means; (4) the making, assignment, or recording of any lease or sublease; (5) the grant of collateral as security for the Reorganized Debtor’s obligations under and in connection with the Exit Facility; or (6) the making, delivery, or recording of any deed or other instrument of transfer under, in furtherance of, or in connection with, the Plan, including any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, or other instrument of transfer executed in connection with any transaction arising out of, contemplated by, or in any way related to the Plan, shall not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, real estate transfer tax, personal property transfer tax, sales or use tax, mortgage recording tax, Uniform Commercial Code filing or recording fee, regulatory filing or recording fee, or other similar tax or governmental assessment, and upon entry of the Confirmation Order, the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents shall forego the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax, recordation fee, or governmental assessment. All filing or recording officers (or any other Person with authority over any of the foregoing), wherever located and by whomever appointed, shall comply with the requirements of section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall forego the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment, and shall accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment.

 

26

 

 

N. Preservation of Causes of Action.

 

In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, but subject to Article VII hereof, the Reorganized Debtor shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action of the Debtor, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, and the Reorganized Debtor’s rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date, other than the Causes of Action released by the Debtor pursuant to the releases and exculpations contained in the Plan, including in Article VII hereof, which shall be deemed released and waived by the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor as of the Effective Date.

 

The Reorganized Debtor may pursue such retained Causes of Action, as appropriate, in accordance with the best interests of the Reorganized Debtor. No Entity (other than the Released Parties) may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan or the Disclosure Statement to any Cause of Action against it as any indication that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action of the Debtor against it. The Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, including Article VII hereof. The Reorganized Debtor may settle any such objection without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Unless any Causes of Action of the Debtor against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or a Final Order, the Reorganized Debtor expressly reserve all Causes of Action, for later adjudication, and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise), or laches, shall apply to such Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or Consummation.

 

The Reorganized Debtor reserves and shall retain such Causes of Action of the Debtor notwithstanding the rejection or repudiation of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease during the Chapter 11 Case or pursuant to the Plan. In accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Causes of Action that the Debtor may hold against any Entity shall vest in the Reorganized Debtor, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, including Article VII hereof. The Reorganized Debtor, through its authorized agents or representatives, shall retain and may exclusively enforce any and all such Causes of Action. The Reorganized Debtor shall have the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to determine and to initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any such Causes of Action and to decline to do any of the foregoing without the consent or approval of any third party or further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

27

 

 

Article V
TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

 

A. Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

 

On the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, or in any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan, or unless such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (1) expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms before the Effective Date or (2) is the subject of a motion to reject filed on or before the Effective Date, the Debtor shall be deemed to have assumed each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease in accordance with the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

Without amending or altering any prior order of the Bankruptcy Court, entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court will constitute approval of such assumptions pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date. All Assumed Agreements shall remain in full force and effect for the benefit of the Reorganized Debtor, and be enforceable by the Reorganized Debtor in accordance with their terms notwithstanding any provision in such Assumed Agreement that prohibits, restricts or conditions assumption, assignment or transfer. Any provision of any Assumed Agreement that permits a person to terminate or modify such agreement or to otherwise modify the rights of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, based on the filing of the Chapter 11 Case or the financial condition of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall be unenforceable. To the extent any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan (including any “change of control” provision) restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, the Debtor’s assumption of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, then such provision will be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan will not entitle the non-Debtor party or parties thereto to terminate such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to exercise any other default-related rights with respect thereto. Each Assumed Agreement will revest in and be fully enforceable by the Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as modified by the provisions of the Plan, any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption, or applicable law.

 

B. Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

 

Any monetary defaults under each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan will be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the applicable Cure amount in Cash, on the later of (1) the Effective Date and (2) the date such payment is due pursuant to the terms of the Assumed Agreement, in the amount set forth on the Schedule of Proposed Cure Amounts, or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease may otherwise agree. If an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is not listed on the Schedule of Proposed Cure Amounts, the proposed Cure amount for such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be zero dollars. The Debtor is not aware of any Cure amount owed in connection with any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.

 

28

 

 

Any objection by a counterparty to the Cure amount associated with any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan must be filed, served and actually received by the Debtor by no later than seven (7) days prior to the date of the Confirmation Hearing.1 Any counterparty to an Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption or Cure amount will be deemed to have assented thereto and will be deemed to have forever released and waived any objection to the proposed assumption or Cure amount. In the event of a dispute regarding (1) the Cure amount, (2) the ability of the Reorganized Debtor to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed or (3) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the applicable Cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code will be made following the entry of a Final Order or orders resolving the dispute and approving the assumption. Any Proof of Claim filed with respect to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed shall be deemed disallowed and expunged, without further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

C. Insurance Policies.

 

Each of the Debtor’s insurance policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto, are treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, on the Effective Date, (1) the Debtor shall be deemed to have assumed all insurance policies and any agreements, documents, and instruments relating to coverage of all insured Claims and (2) such insurance policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto shall revest in the Reorganized Debtor.

 

D. Reservation of Rights.

 

Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute an admission by the Debtor or any other party that any contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that the Reorganized Debtor 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, the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall have forty-five (45) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.

 

 

1Immediately upon the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case, the Debtor will file any objections received by the Debtor prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case on the Bankruptcy Court’s docket on behalf of the objecting party.

 

29

 

 

E. Nonoccurrence of Effective Date.

 

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

 

F. Contracts and Leases Entered Into After the Petition Date.

 

Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by the Debtor, including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by the Debtor, will be performed by the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor in the ordinary course of its business. Accordingly, such contracts and leases (including any assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases) will survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order.

 

G. Employee Compensation and Benefits.

 

Except as otherwise set forth herein, on the Effective Date, the Debtor shall (a) assume all employment agreements or letters, indemnification agreements, severance agreements, or other agreements entered into with current and former officers and other employees or (b) to the extent agreed, enter into new agreements with such officers and other employees on terms and conditions acceptable to the Debtor, such employee and, in the case of any executive officer of the Reorganized Debtor and such executive officer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code, from and after the Effective Date, all retiree benefits (as such term is defined in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code), if any, shall continue to be paid in accordance with applicable law.

 

Subject to the provisions of the Plan, all Compensation and Benefits Programs shall be treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan and deemed assumed on the Effective Date pursuant to the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, except for all plans or programs calling for stock grants, stock issuances, stock reserves, or stock options (including, without limitation, all employee equity or equity-based incentive plans, and any provisions set forth in the Compensation and Benefits Programs that provide for rights to acquire Existing Interests in the Debtor), which shall be deemed rejected with regard to such issuances, grants, reserves, and options.

 

The Debtor shall not assume any agreements or obligations relating to the Existing Interests, which shall be cancelled as of the Effective Date and shall receive no payment on account thereof from the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor. For the avoidance of doubt, no provision in any agreement, plan, or arrangement to be assumed pursuant to the foregoing paragraph relating to the award of equity or equity-like compensation shall be binding on, or honored by, the Reorganized Debtor. Nothing in this Plan shall limit, diminish, or otherwise alter the Reorganized Debtor’s defenses, claims, Causes of Action, or other rights with respect to any such contracts, agreements, policies, programs, and plans.

 

30

 

 

Article VI
PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

 

A. Distributions on Account of Claims Allowed as of the Effective Date.

 

Except as otherwise provided herein, in a Final Order, or as otherwise agreed to by the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as the case may be, and the Holder of the applicable Allowed Claim on the Distribution Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall make initial distributions under the Plan on account of Claims Allowed on or before the Effective Date, subject to the Reorganized Debtor’s right to object to Claims; provided that (1) Allowed Administrative Claims with respect to liabilities incurred by the Debtor in the ordinary course of business during the Chapter 11 Case or assumed by the Debtor 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, (2) Allowed Priority Tax Claims shall be paid in accordance with Article II.C of the Plan, and (3) Allowed General Unsecured Claims shall be paid in accordance with Article III.B.5 of the Plan. To the extent any Allowed Priority Tax Claim is not due and owing on the Effective Date, such Claim shall be paid in full in Cash in accordance with the terms of any agreement between the Debtor and the Holder of such Claim or as may be due and payable under applicable non-bankruptcy law or in the ordinary course of business.

 

B. Disbursing Agent.

 

All distributions under the Plan shall be made by the Disbursing Agent. The Disbursing Agent shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. Additionally, in the event that the Disbursing Agent is so otherwise ordered, all costs and expenses of procuring any such bond or surety shall be borne by the Reorganized Debtor.

 

All Plan Distributions to any Disbursing Agent on behalf of the Holders of Claims listed on the Claims Register (or the Permitted Designees of such Holders, as applicable) shall be deemed completed by the Debtor when received by such Disbursing Agent. The Plan Distributions shall be made to any such Holders (or the Permitted Designees of such Holders, as applicable) at the direction of the applicable Disbursing Agent.

 

C. Rights and Powers of Disbursing Agent.

 

The Disbursing Agent shall be empowered to: (a) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments, and other documents necessary to perform its duties under the Plan; (b) make all distributions contemplated hereby; (c) employ professionals to represent it with respect to its responsibilities; and (d) exercise such other powers as may be vested in the Disbursing Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to the Plan, or as deemed by the Disbursing Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions hereof. If the Distribution Agent is an entity other than the Reorganized Debtor, such entity shall be paid its reasonable fees and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its attorneys or other professionals.

 

31

 

 

D. Delivery of Distributions.

 

1. Record Date for Distribution.

 

Distributions hereunder to the Holders of Allowed Claims shall be made to the Holders of such Claims as of the Distribution Record Date. Any transfers of Claims after the Distribution Record Date shall not be recognized for purposes of the Plan unless otherwise provided herein.

 

2. Delivery of Distributions in General.

 

Except as otherwise provided herein, distributions payable to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be made by the Disbursing Agent to such Holder at the address for each such Holder as indicated on the Debtor’s records as of the Distribution Record Date or, if such Holder has identified a Permitted Designee to the Permitted Designee of each such Holder; provided that the manner of such distributions shall be determined at the discretion of the Reorganized Debtor.

 

3. Surrender of Canceled Instruments or Securities.

 

On the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, each holder of a certificate or instrument evidencing a Claim or an Interest that has been canceled in accordance with Article IV.G hereof shall be deemed to have surrendered such certificate or instrument to the Disbursing Agent. Such surrendered certificate or instrument shall be canceled solely with respect to the Debtor, and such cancelation shall not alter the obligations or rights of any non-Debtor third parties vis-a-vis one another with respect to such certificate or instrument, including with respect to any indenture or agreement that governs the rights of the Holder of a Claim or Interest, which shall continue in effect for purposes of allowing Holders to receive distributions under the Plan, charging liens, priority of payment, and indemnification rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this paragraph shall not apply to certificates or instruments evidencing Claims that are Unimpaired under the Plan.

 

E. Manner of Payment.

G. Entire Agreement.

 

Except as otherwise indicated, the Plan supersedes all previous and contemporaneous negotiations, promises, covenants, agreements, understandings, and representations on such subjects, all of which have become merged and integrated into the Plan.

 

H. Nonseverability of Plan Provisions.

 

If, prior to Confirmation, any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court shall 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 shall then be applicable as altered or interpreted; provided, however, any such alteration or interpretation shall be acceptable to the Debtor. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the 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 shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is: (1) valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms; (2) integral to the Plan and may not be deleted or modified without the Debtor’s or Reorganized Debtor’s and Consenting Creditors’ consent, as applicable; and (3) nonseverable and mutually dependent.

 

I. Waiver or Estoppel.

 

Each Holder of a Claim or an Interest shall be deemed to have waived any right to assert any argument, including the right to argue that its Claim or Interest should be Allowed in a certain amount, in a certain priority, secured or not subordinated by virtue of an agreement made with the Debtor or its counsel, or any other Entity, if such agreement was not disclosed in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or papers Filed with the Bankruptcy Court prior to the Confirmation Date.
