7.010 Exemption from Registration Requirements. The shares of the Post-Effective Date Interests, or any other Securities, being issued, offered, or distributed under this Plan will be issued without registration under the Securities Act or any similar federal, state, or local Law in reliance upon section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code to the maximum extent permitted by law. To the extent Post-Effective Date Interests or any other Securities, cannot be issued, offered, or distributed in reliance upon section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, including with respect to an Entity that is an “underwriter” as defined in section 1145(b) of the Bankruptcy Code relating to the definition of underwriter in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, they will be issued without registration under the Securities Act or similar Law in reliance upon section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act (or another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act).

 

Securities issued in reliance upon section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code (to the fullest extent permitted and available) (a) are exempt from, among other things, the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act and any other applicable Law requiring registration prior to the offering, issuance, distribution, or sale of Securities, to the maximum extent possible, (b) are not “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, and (c) are freely tradeable and transferable by any holder thereof that, at the time of transfer, (i) is not an “affiliate” of the Reorganized Debtors as defined in Rule 144(a)(1) under the Securities Act, (ii) has not been such an “affiliate” within 90 days of such transfer, (iii) has not acquired such Securities from an “affiliate” within one year of such transfer, and (iv) is not an Entity that is an “underwriter” (as defined in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act). The offering, issuance, distribution, and sale of any securities in accordance with section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made without registration under the Securities Act or any similar federal, state, or local Law in reliance on section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The issuance of the Post-Effective Date Interests or any other Securities shall not constitute an invitation or offer to sell, or the solicitation of an invitation or offer to buy, any securities in contravention of any applicable Law in any jurisdiction. No action has been taken, nor will be taken, in any jurisdiction that would permit a public offering of any of the New Interests (other than securities issued pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code) in any jurisdiction where such action for that purpose is required.

 

Any shares of the Post-Effective Date Interests, or any other Securities, issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act will be “restricted securities.” Such securities may not be resold, exchanged, assigned, or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an available exemption therefrom and other applicable Law. The offering, issuance, distribution, and sale of such securities shall be made without registration under the Securities Act or any similar federal, state, or local Law in reliance on section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

 

It is not expected that any shares of the Post-Effective Date Interests, or any other Securities, will be eligible for any depository services on or about the Effective Date. Further, it is not intended that the Post-Effective Date Interests will be listed on a national securities exchange (or a comparable non-U.S. securities exchange) on or about the Effective Date.

 

ARTICLE VIII - PROVISIONS CONCERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

 

8.01 Sources of Funds for Distribution. The distributions under the Plan shall be made from the Estate Property Proceeds.

 

8.02 Distributions for Claims Allowed as of the Effective Date. Except as otherwise provided herein or under applicable bankruptcy law or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, distributions to be made on account of Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date from Estate Property Proceeds shall be made by the Debtors or the Plan Administrator, as applicable, as assets available for distribution become available for distribution. Any payment or distribution required to be made under the Plan on a day other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

8.03 Timing on Distributions to Class 1J Claims. The Plan Administrator shall distribute at least every six (6) months from the Petition Date to Class 1J Claims proceeds from the HCDI Unsecured Creditors Fund; provided, however, that the Plan Administrator shall maintain at all times adequate cash or marketable securities as reserves, including the Disputed Reserves, as may be reasonably necessary to maintain the value of the Post-Effective Date Debtors’ Assets, satisfy projected expenses and meet claims and contingent liabilities of the Post-Effective Date Debtors. The Plan Administrator may request the Bankruptcy Court to resolve any dispute or to rule upon any inquiry regarding the adequacy of reserves.

8.04 No Distributions on Disputed Claims. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan specifying the time for payment of distributions to holders of Claims, no payment or distribution shall be made to the holder of any Disputed Claim until the time such Claim has been determined to be an Allowed Claim. Notwithstanding the existence of a Disputed Claim in a Class to which a distribution under the Plan is due, such distribution to other creditors shall not be affected by any delay in the resolution of the Disputed Claim. Upon the allowance of any Disputed Claim, the Holder shall be paid the amount that such holder would have received had its Claim been an Allowed Claim on the Effective Date.

 

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

 

8.06 Distributions by Plan Administrator. The Trustee shall distribute at least annually to the Trust Beneficiaries all net cash income plus all net cash proceeds from the liquidation of Trust Property; provided, however, that the Trustee shall maintain at all times adequate cash or marketable securities as reserves, including the Disputed Claim Reserve, as may be reasonably necessary to maintain the value of the Trust Property, satisfy projected expenses and meet claims

 

8.07 Delivery of Distributions. Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be made at the addresses set forth in the records of the Debtor or as otherwise available to the Debtors or the Plan Administrator, unless such addresses are superseded by any proofs of claim or transfers of claim that may be filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001. If the distribution to any Holder of an Allowed Claim is returned to the Plan Administrator as undeliverable or is otherwise unclaimed, no further distributions shall be made to such holder unless and until the Plan Administrator is notified in writing of such Holder’s then current address. The Plan Administrator shall make all distributions that have become deliverable or have been claimed as soon as practicable after such distribution has become deliverable. Any Holder of an Allowed Claim that does not assert a claim pursuant to the Plan for an undeliverable or unclaimed distribution within one (1) year after the Effective Date shall be deemed to have forfeited its claim for such undeliverable or unclaimed distribution and shall be forever barred and enjoined from asserting any such claim for an undeliverable or unclaimed distribution against the Plan Administrator, the Debtor, the Post-Effective Date Debtors, the Estate and/or property of the Estate. Nothing contained in the Plan requires the Plan Administrator or other person to attempt to locate a Holder of an Allowed Claim.

 

8.08 Allocation of Distributions. All Distributions received under the Plan by Holders of Claims shall be deemed to be allocated first to the principal amount of such Claim, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and then to accrued interest, if any, with respect to such Claim.

ARTICLE IX - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

9.01 Vesting of Assets. Except as provided in this Plan, all assets of the respective Estates shall be vested in the respective Post-Effective Date Debtors in accordance with 11 U.S.C. § 1141, and no further order of the Court shall be necessary for the Post-Effective Date Debtors and the Plan Administrator to perform such acts as are within the ordinary scope of their affairs and/or necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this Plan.

 

9.02 Administrative Claim Bar Date. The deadline for submitting any Claim entitled to priority pursuant to section 507(a)(2) or (b) of the Code incurred prior to Confirmation shall be thirty days following Confirmation. Failure to file a Claim by this date shall conclusively bar the claimant from asserting its Claim, which Claim shall be forever discharged.

 

9.03 Professional Fee Claims. All final requests for payment of Professional Fee Claims to the extent required pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 327, 328, 330, 331, 363, 503(b), or 1103 must be made by application filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on counsel to the U.S. Trustee no later than forty-five (45) calendar days after the Effective Date, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. Professional Fee Claims shall be paid by the Plan Administrator to the extent approved by order of the Bankruptcy Court within five (5) Business Days after entry of such order. On the Effective Date, the Plan Administrator shall establish the Professional Fee Reserves. The Professional Fee Reserves shall vest in the Post-Effective Date Debtors and shall be maintained by the Plan Administrator in accordance with the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall fully fund the Professional Fee Reserves on the Effective Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, in an amount that is reasonable acceptable to the Debtors prior to the Confirmation Hearing and that approximates the total projected amount of unpaid Professional Fee Claims on the Effective Date. All Professional Fee Claims that have not previously been paid, otherwise satisfied or funded to the trust account of Debtors’ counsel or withdrawn shall be paid from the Professional Fee Reserves. Any excess funds in the Professional Fee Reserves shall be released to the Post-Effective Date Debtors to be used for other purposes consistent with the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Professional Fee Reserves are an estimate and shall not be construed as a cap on the Plan Administrator or the Post-Effective Date Debtors’ obligation to pay in full Allowed Professional Fee Claims.

 

9.04 Payment of Statutory Fees. All fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing, shall be paid by the Debtors on or before the Effective Date. All such fees that relate to distributions by each Debtor after the Effective Date shall be paid by the Post-Effective Date Debtors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the U.S. Trustee shall not be required to file any proofs of claim with respect to quarterly fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930.

 

9.05 Post-Effective Date Employment of Professionals. Upon the Effective Date, any requirement that professionals comply with sections 327 through 331 of the Code in seeking retention or compensation for services rendered after such date shall terminate, and the Debtor may employ and pay professionals. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Post-Effective Date Debtors shall be authorized to employ and compensate professionals following Confirmation upon such terms as the Plan Administrator deems reasonable and appropriate without further notice or order of the Court.

9.06 Exculpation and Limitation of Liability. The Exculpated Parties will neither have nor incur any liability to any entity for any claims or Causes of Action arising on or after the Petition Date and prior to the Effective Date for any act taken or omitted to be taken in connection with, or related to (i) the Chapter 11 Cases, (ii) any sale of Estate Property; (iii) any other sales consummated during the Chapter 11 Cases, (iv) formulating, negotiating, preparing, disseminating, implementing, administering, confirming or effecting the consummation of this Plan, or any other contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document created or entered into in connection with this Plan, including the Disclosure Statement, (v) any other postpetition act taken or omitted to be taken in connection with or in contemplation of Confirmation of this Plan, or (vi) the approval of the Disclosure Statement and Plan or Confirmation or Substantial Consummation of the Plan, provided, however, that the foregoing provisions will have no effect on the liability of any entity that results from any such act or omission that is determined in a final order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted gross negligence, actual fraud, or willful misconduct. The Exculpated Parties have, and upon Confirmation of this Plan shall be deemed to have, participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to the solicitation and distributions pursuant to the 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 the Plan or such distributions made pursuant to the Plan.

 

9.07 Modifications or Amendments. In the Debtors’ reasonable discretion, the Debtors may alter, amend, or modify the Plan under Bankruptcy Code section 1127(a) at any time at or prior to the conclusion of the Confirmation Hearing. All alterations, amendments, or modifications to the Plan must comply with Bankruptcy Code section 1127. The Debtors shall provide parties in interest with notice of such amendments or modifications as may be required by the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules, or order of the Bankruptcy Court. A Creditor that has accepted the Plan shall be deemed to have accepted the Plan, as altered, amended, modified, or clarified, if the proposed alteration, amendment, modification, or clarification does not materially and adversely change the treatment of the Claim of such Creditor.

 

After entry of the Confirmation Order and prior to substantial consummation (as defined in Bankruptcy Code section 1101(2)) of the Plan, the Debtors may, under Bankruptcy Code section 1127(b), institute proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court to remedy any defect or omission or to reconcile any inconsistencies in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement approved with respect to the Plan, or the Confirmation Order, and such matters as may be necessary to carry out the purpose and effect of the Plan so long as such proceedings do not adversely affect the treatment of Holders of Claims under the Plan. Such proceedings must comply with Bankruptcy Code section 1127. To the extent required, prior notice of such proceedings shall be served in accordance with the Bankruptcy Rules or an order of the Bankruptcy Court. A Creditor that has accepted the Plan shall be deemed to have accepted the Plan, as altered, amended, modified, or clarified, if the proposed alteration, amendment, modification, or clarification does not materially and adversely change the treatment of the Claim of such Creditor.

9.08 No Stay of Confirmation Order. The stay of enforceability of the Confirmation Order pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 3020(e) shall not apply, and the Confirmation Order shall be enforceable upon entry according to its terms absent further order of the Court.

 

9.09 Severability of Plan Provisions. If, at or before the Confirmation Hearing, the Bankruptcy Court holds that any Plan term or provision is invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court may alter or interpret that term or provision so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent possible consistent with the original purpose of that term or provision. That term or provision will then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the Plan’s remaining terms and provisions will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated. The Confirmation Order will constitute a judicial determination providing that each Plan term and provision, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with this Section 10.09, is valid and enforceable under its terms.

 

9.010 Binding Effect of Plan. Upon the Effective Date, Bankruptcy Code section 1141 shall become applicable with respect to the Plan and the Plan shall be binding on all Persons to the fullest extent permitted by Bankruptcy Code section 1141(a). Confirmation of the Plan binds each Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, whether or not such Holder’s Claim or Equity Interest is Allowed, whether or not such Holder holds a Claim or Equity Interest that is in a Class that is Impaired under the Plan, and whether or not such Holder has accepted the Plan.

 

9.011 Event of Default; Consequence of Default. An event of default shall occur if the Post-Effective Date Debtors fail to comply with a material provision of this Plan. In such an event, the party alleging the default shall provide written notice of the alleged default to the Post Effective Date Debtors, the Plan Administrator, and their attorneys at the following addresses:

If, after thirty days following the Post-Effective Date Debtors, the Plan Administrator, and counsel’s receipt of the notice of default, the Post-Effective Date Debtors or the Plan Administrator and such noticing party have been unable to resolve, or the Post-Effective Date Debtors or the Plan Administrator has been unable to cure, the asserted default, then the noticing party may proceed with any remedies available to it under applicable law; provided, that nothing herein shall limit or affect the Post-Effective Date Debtor or the Plan Administrator right to seek appropriate relief from any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

9.012 Governing Law. Unless a rule of law or procedure is supplied by federal law (including the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules), (a) the laws of the State of Washington shall govern the construction and implementation of the Plan and (except as may be provided otherwise in any such agreements, documents, or instruments) any agreements, documents, and instruments executed in connection with the Plan and (b) the laws of the state of incorporation or formation of each Debtor shall govern corporate or limited liability company governance matters with respect to such Debtor; in each case without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Any applicable nonbankruptcy law that would prohibit, limit, or otherwise restrict implementation of the Plan based on (i) the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, (ii) the appointment of the Plan Administrator, (iii) the wind down of the Debtors, (iv) the liquidation of some or all of the Post-Effective Date Debtors’ Assets or (v) any other act or action to be done pursuant to or contemplated by the Plan is superseded and rendered inoperative by the Plan and federal bankruptcy law.

 

9.013 Final Decrees. Upon Substantial Consummation, and in the Plan Administrator’s discretion, the Plan Administrator shall move for the entry of the Final Decree with respect to one or more of the Debtors. On entry of the Final Decree, the Plan Administrator, in each case to the extent not previously discharged by the Bankruptcy Court, shall be deemed discharged and have no further duties or obligations to any Person.

 

9.014 Retention of Jurisdiction. Following the entry of the Confirmation Order, the Court shall retain jurisdiction over the Reorganized Debtor, the Estate, Estate Property, and the Reorganized Debtor’s assets until the Plan is substantially consummated and the Court enters a final decree and an order closing the Case. The Court’s retained jurisdiction shall give it authority to hear matters for purposes of administering the Plan, including, without limitation:

 

  (a) To determine all adversary proceedings, if any, Claims of the Estate by or against any claimant, and applications, motions, and contested matters instituted prior to the closing of the Case;
     
  (b) To ensure that distributions are accomplished as provided in the Plan;
