Pursuant to section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfers from a Debtor to Reorganized Congoleum or to any other Person or Entity pursuant to the Plan, or any agreement regarding the transfer of title to or ownership of any of the Debtors’ real or personal property will not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, sales tax, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, stamp act, real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, Uniform Commercial Code filing or recording fee, or other similar tax or governmental assessment, and the Confirmation Order will direct the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents to forego the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and to accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment.

5.12 Section 346 Injunction. In accordance with section 346 of the Bankruptcy Code for the purposes of any state or local law imposing a tax, income will not be realized by the Estates, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors by reason of the forgiveness or discharge of indebtedness resulting from the consummation of the Plan. As a result, each state or local taxing authority is permanently enjoined and restrained, after the Confirmation Date, from commencing, continuing or taking any act to impose, collect or recover in any manner any tax against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors arising by reason of the forgiveness or discharge of indebtedness under the Plan.

5.13 Corporate Action. All matters provided for under the Plan involving the corporate structure of the Debtors or Reorganized Congoleum, or any corporate action to be taken by, or required of the Debtors or Reorganized Congoleum shall be deemed to have occurred and be effective as provided herein, and shall be authorized and approved in all respects without any requirement for further action by the stockholders or directors of any of such entities.

5.14 Litigation Settlement Agreement. (a) The Plan implements a compromise and settlement with respect to each such Litigation Settlement Claimant whose Asbestos Personal Injury Claim was liquidated pursuant to the Claimant Agreement or a Pre-Petition Settlement Agreement, as the case may be, and the Litigation Settlement Agreement, which was approved by the Court by an order signed on October 31, 2008, shall be binding on the parties thereto.

(b) As of the Effective Date of the Plan:

(i) The Litigation Settlement Claimants shall waive any and all rights with respect to any pre-petition settlement of their Asbestos Personal Injury Claims against the Debtors, whether pursuant to any Pre-Petition Settlement Agreement or the Claimant Agreement, including the liquidated amounts thereof; provided, however, that:

· any Asbestos Personal Injury Claim against the Debtors held by any such Litigation Settlement Claimant, including with respect to any statutes of limitation related thereto, shall be restored to the status quo ante as it existed as of the time the Litigation Settlement Claimant initially filed or submitted its Asbestos Personal Injury Claim against the Debtors that resulted in the Claimant’s Pre-Petition Settlement Agreement or the Claimant Agreement (the “Submission Date”);

· any statute of limitation with respect to such Asbestos Personal Injury Claim shall be tolled until the later of ninety (90) days after the expiration of any stay imposed due to the filing of the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases of such additional time as may be provided pursuant to the TDP incorporated in the Plan (the “Asbestos Tolling Period”);

· neither the Asbestos Tolling Period nor any other term or provision of the Litigation Settlement Agreement shall revive any statute of limitations that expired as of the Submission Date; and

· all parties retain the right to assert any statute of limitations defense or other defenses that they could have asserted as of the Submission Date.

(ii) With respect to the Litigation Settlement Claimants, the Debtors shall be released from any and all obligations and duties imposed pursuant to any Pre-Petition Settlement Agreement, Claimant Agreement, the Collateral Trust Agreement, Security Agreement and any and all other agreements and amendments thereto with respect to the pre-packaged plan of reorganization filed by the Debtors on December 31, 2003.

(iii) The Debtors shall be deemed to have forever withdrawn, released, discharged, waived and forgiven the Litigation Settlement Claimants and Claimants’ Counsel, and each of their respective assigns, administrators and successors in interest, for and from any and all claims, actions, causes of action, counterclaims, proofs of claim, and any other obligation of any kind or nature arising from or related to the Bankruptcy Code, the Avoidance Actions, and any and all claims related to any Pre-Petition Settlement Agreement, Claimant Agreement, the Collateral Trust Agreement, Security Agreement, pre-petition payments to Claimants Counsel, and any and all other agreements and amendments thereto with respect to the pre-packaged plan of reorganization filed by the Debtors on December 31, 2003, including all pending and potential causes of action, whether accrued or to accrue, whether asserted by way of claim, counterclaim, cross-claim, third-party action, action for indemnity or contribution or otherwise; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not constitute a release of any rights to enforce the terms of the Litigation Settlement Agreement or any defenses to Asbestos Personal Injury Claims that may be asserted by the Debtors as contemplated in the Litigation Settlement Agreement.

(iv) Except as otherwise provided for in the Litigation Settlement Agreement, all Litigation Settlement Claimants and Claimants’ Counsel shall be deemed to have forever withdrawn, released, discharged, waived and forgiven the Debtors and their respective assigns, administrators and successors in interest, for and from any and all claims, actions, causes of action, counterclaims, proofs of claim, and any other obligation of any kind or nature arising from or related to the Bankruptcy Code, the Avoidance Actions, and any and all claims related to any Pre-Petition Settlement Agreement, Claimant Agreement, the Collateral Trust Agreement, Security Agreement and any and all other agreements and amendments thereto with respect to the pre-packaged plan of reorganization filed by the Debtors on December 31, 2003, including all pending and potential causes of action, whether accrued or to accrue, whether asserted by way of a claim, counterclaim, cross-claim, third-party action, action for indemnity or contribution or otherwise; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not constitute a release of any rights to enforce the terms of the Litigation Settlement Agreement and shall not constitute a release by Litigation Settlement Claimants of their Asbestos Personal Injury Claims against the Debtors, the Plan Trust, or any other party or entity.

(c) Pursuant to the Litigation Settlement Agreement and contingent upon confirmation of the Plan, the estates of Comstock, Cook and Arsenault have elected to forgo any further distribution from the Debtors and/or Plan Trust.

(d) Within 30 days after the Effective Date of the Plan, the District Court shall enter an order of dismissal of all claims and counterclaims in the Avoidance Actions, with prejudice, and with all parties to bear their own costs and attorneys fees.

(e) Subject to the terms of this Plan, the mutual releases set forth in the Litigation Settlement Agreement shall not abridge the right of Litigation Settlement Claimants to submit and recover upon their Asbestos Personal Injury Claims against the Debtors including as against the Plan Trust.

(f) Any claim by Claimants’ Counsel for the payment of fees and expenses shall be subject to application to, and approval by, the District Court.

(g) Each Litigation Settlement Claimant shall be entitled to submit its Asbestos Personal Injury Claim to the Debtors’ bankruptcy estates, including the Plan Trust, as an unliquidated claim for resolution and treatment pursuant to TDP, provided that, any Litigation Settlement Claimant who received a partial payment from the Debtors with respect thereto prior to the Petition Date, including specifically claimants Cook, Arsenault, and Comstock, in addition to the other provisions hereof, hereby agrees to either: (a) not seek any further recovery with respect thereto against the Debtors, including from any Plan Trust, or (b) return and relinquish any such pre-petition partial payment for the benefit of the Plan Trust as a condition precedent to asserting any such further Asbestos Personal Injury Claim against the Debtors or the Plan Trust.

(h) Pursuant to the Plan, any Pre-Petition Settled Claimant that is not a Litigation Settlement Claimant shall nevertheless receive the same treatment as the Litigation Settlement Claimants.

5.15 Review of Claimants’ Counsel Expenses. The expenses paid pre-petition by the Debtors to the Claimants’ Counsel pursuant to the Claimant Agreement shall be subject to approval by the District Court under § 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

5.16 Intercompany Settlement. (a) The Plan implements a compromise and settlement with respect to ABI, the ABI Claims and the Intercompany Agreements (as set forth in this Section 5.16, the “Intercompany Settlement”). Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code and consistent with section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan shall constitute a motion for approval of, and the Confirmation Order shall authorize and constitute District Court approval of, the Intercompany Settlement.

(b) On the Effective Date, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, in full and final satisfaction of the ABI Claims, and for good and valuable consideration including ABI's agreement to the treatment specified in the Plan for the ABI Claims and the Claims and Interests asserted by other parties in interest, the ABI Settlement shall be effectuated in accordance with the following terms:

1. All ABI Claims, including without limitation ABI Rejection Damages Claims (other than claims for payment of Unpaid Intercompany Amounts that may be asserted to the extent consistent with Section 5.15(b)(4)(B) of the Plan), shall be deemed Disallowed and expunged.

2. All Intercompany Agreements shall be deemed rejected, and any and all ABI Rejection Damages Claims (other than claims for payment of Unpaid Intercompany Amounts that may be asserted to the extent consistent with Section 5.16(b)(4)(B) of the Plan) arising therefrom shall be deemed Disallowed and expunged.

3. ABI and Reorganized Congoleum shall enter into and effectuate the New ABI Agreement, and which shall govern the relationship between ABI and Reorganized Congoleum upon the Effective Date.

4. The ABI Parties and ABI and their respective Representatives (in their capacities as such) shall be deemed to have received and exchanged mutual general releases with and from the Debtors, their Estates and Reorganized Congoluem, such that:

A. As of the Effective Date, the Debtors, their Estates and Reorganized Congoleum shall be deemed to forever release, waive and discharge all claims, obligations, suits, judgments, demands, debts, rights, causes of action and liabilities (other than their rights to enforce the terms of the Intercompany Settlement, the New ABI Agreement and the ABI Canada License Agreement, as amended by Section 5.16(b)(5) of the Plan, and their rights to payment of not more than $2 million on account of net Unpaid Intercompany Amounts remaining after intercompany offsets of Unpaid Intercompany Amounts), whether liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, then existing or thereafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise, that are based in whole or in part on any act, omission, transaction, event or other occurrence taking place on or prior to the Effective Date in any way relating to the Debtors, Reorganized Congoleum, the Reorganization Cases, the Plan or the Disclosure Statement, and that could have been asserted by or on behalf of the Debtors, their Estates or Reorganized Congoleum, as of the Petition Date or thereafter, against the ABI Parties, ABI and/or their respective Representatives (in their capacities as such); and

B. As of the Effective Date, the ABI Parties, ABI and their respective Representatives (in their capacities as such) shall be deemed to forever release, waive and discharge all claims, obligations, suits, judgments, demands, debts, rights, causes of action and liabilities (other than their rights to enforce the terms of the Intercompany Settlement, the New ABI Agreement and the ABI Canada License Agreement, as amended by Section 5.16(b)(5) of the Plan, and their rights to payment of not more than $2 million on account of net Unpaid Intercompany Amounts remaining after intercompany offsets of Unpaid Intercompany Amounts), whether liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, then existing or thereafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise, that are based in whole or in part on any act, omission, transaction, event or other occurrence taking place on or prior to the Effective Date in any way relating to the Debtors, Reorganized Congoleum, the Reorganization Cases, the Plan or the Disclosure Statement, and that could have been asserted by or on behalf of the ABI Parties, ABI and their respective Representatives (in their capacities as such), as of the Petition Date or thereafter, against the Debtors, their Estates or Reorganized Congoleum.

5. The ABI Canada License Agreement shall be deemed to have been assumed by Congoleum and become an obligation of Reorganized Congoleum, provided, however, that Article 7.02 of the ABI Canada License Agreement shall be modified so that the “Term” thereof shall expire two years from the Effective Date and the ABI Canada License Agreement shall be deemed amended accordingly as of the Effective Date without any further action of any Person or Entity.

5.17 Deemed Consolidation of Debtors For Plan Purposes Only. Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Debtors shall be deemed consolidated under the Plan for Plan purposes only. Each and every Claim filed or to be filed against any of the Debtors shall be deemed filed against the deemed consolidated Debtors and shall be deemed one Claim against and obligation of the deemed consolidated Debtors. Such deemed consolidation, however, shall not (other than for purposes related to funding distributions under the Plan and as set forth above in this Section 5.17) affect: (i) the legal and organizational structure of the Debtors; or (ii) any Liens that are required to be maintained under the Plan (A) in connection with executory contracts or unexpired leases that were entered into during the Reorganization Cases or that have been or will be assumed, (B) pursuant to the Plan, or (C) in connection with any Exit Facility. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, the deemed consolidation of the Debtors shall not have any effect on any of the Claims being reinstated and left unimpaired under the Plan, and the legal, equitable, and contractual rights to which the holders of any such Claims are entitled shall be left unaltered by the Plan.

ARTICLE VI

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS

OTHER THAN PLAN TRUST ASBESTOS CLAIMS

6.1 Plan Distributions. The Disbursing Agent shall make all distributions required under the Plan (other than distributions to holders of Plan Trust Asbestos Claims and Senior Note Claims). Distributions shall be made on the Distribution Date (unless otherwise provided herein or ordered by the District Court) with respect to all Claims except for Plan Trust Asbestos Claims. Distributions to be made on the Distribution Date shall be deemed actually made on the Distribution Date if made either (a) on the Distribution Date or (b) as soon as practicable thereafter. With respect to Plan Trust Asbestos Claims, distributions to holders of Plan Trust Asbestos Claims shall be made in accordance with the Plan Trust Agreement and/or the TDP, as applicable. With respect to Senior Note Claims, Distributions will be made by the Indenture Trustee, whose reasonable fees and expenses in connection with such Distributions shall be paid by Reorganized Congoleum.

6.2 Distributions of Cash. Any Distribution of Cash made by Reorganized Congoleum pursuant to the Plan shall, at Reorganized Congoleum’s option, be made by check drawn on a domestic bank or by wire transfer from a domestic bank.

6.3 No Interest on Claims. Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or a post-petition agreement in writing between the Debtors and a holder, Post-Petition Interest shall not accrue or be paid on Claims, and no holder shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.3 shall not apply to Plan Trust Asbestos Claims which shall be governed in all cases by the Plan Trust Agreement and the TDP.

6.4 Delivery of Distributions. Distributions to holders of Allowed Claims other than Asbestos Claims shall be made by the Disbursing Agent or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, (a) at the holder’s last known address, or (b) at the address in any written notice of address change delivered to the Disbursing Agent or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable. If any holder’s distribution made by the Disbursing Agent is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such holder shall be made, unless and until the Disbursing Agent 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 made through the Disbursing Agent shall be returned to Reorganized Congoleum until such distributions are claimed or become unclaimed property pursuant to Section 6.8 of the Plan. With respect to Plan Trust Asbestos Claims, distributions to the holders of Plan Trust Asbestos Claims shall be made in accordance with the Plan Trust Agreement and/or the TDP, as applicable. With respect to Senior Note Claims, distributions to holders of Senior Note Claims shall be made in accordance with the Indenture.

6.5 Distributions to Holders as of the Record Date. All Distributions on Allowed Claims shall be made to the Record Holders of such Claims. As of the close of business on the Record Date, the Claims register maintained by the Voting Agent shall be closed, and there shall be no further changes in the Record Holder of any Claim.

Reorganized Congoleum shall instead be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes under the Plan with the Record Holders as of the Record Date.

6.6 Fractional Securities; Fractional Dollars. Distributions of fractions of shares of New Common Stock will not be made and shall be rounded (up or down) to the nearest whole number, with half shares or less being rounded down. Reorganized Congoleum shall not be required to make Distributions or payments of fractions of dollars. Whenever any payment of a fraction of a dollar under the Plan would otherwise be called for, the actual payment shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar (up or down), with half dollars or less being rounded down.

6.7 Withholding of Taxes. The Disbursing Agent shall withhold from any assets or property distributed under the Plan any assets or property that must be withheld pursuant to applicable law.

6.8 Unclaimed Property. Any Cash, assets and other property to be distributed on account of any Claim (other than a Plan Trust Asbestos Claim) under the Plan that remain unclaimed (including by an Entity’s failure to negotiate a check issued to such Entity) or otherwise not deliverable to the Entity entitled thereto before the later of (a) one year after the date of distribution or (b) 120 calendar days after an order allowing such Entity’s Claim becomes a Final Order, shall become vested in, and shall be transferred and delivered to, Reorganized Congoleum. In such event, such Entity’s Claim shall no longer be deemed to be Allowed and such Entity shall be deemed to have waived its rights to such payments or distributions under the Plan pursuant to section 1143 of the Bankruptcy Code and shall have no further Claim in respect of such distribution and shall not participate in any further distributions under the Plan with respect to such Claim.

ARTICLE VII

Subject to section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules 3008 and 9006, any Administrative Claim, Asbestos Property Damage Claim or Claim (other than Asbestos Personal Injury Claims) for which the filing of a Proof of Claim, application or motion with the District Court is required under the terms of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, any order of the Bankruptcy Court or District Court, as applicable (including one providing a Bar Date), or the Plan shall be Disallowed if and to the extent that such Proof of Claim (or other filing) is not timely and properly made.

7.2 Prosecution of Objections to Claims.

In addition, unless otherwise ordered by the District Court after notice and a hearing, after the Effective Date Reorganized Congoleum, the Bondholders’ Committee and the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee, subject to Sections 13.8 and 13.14 of the Plan, each shall have the exclusive right to make and file objections to Administrative Claims and to amend the Schedules or to object to any Claim specified on the Schedules, at any time on or before sixty (60) days after the later of (i) the Effective Date or (ii) the date on which such Claim was filed with the District Court unless no Proof of Claim is required to be filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3002, the Plan or any order of the District Court; provided, however, that (x) this deadline may be extended by the District Court on motion by the Debtors, Reorganized Congoleum, the Bondholders’ Committee or the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee, as applicable, (y) neither the Debtors, Reorganized Congoleum, the Futures Representative, the Bondholders’ Committee, the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee nor any other Person may file an objection to any (1) Claim that was Allowed by a Final Order entered during the Reorganization Cases, or (2) Claim Allowed by the Plan, and (z) with respect to any Administrative Claim referred to in sub-clause (a)(4) of the definition of Administrative Expense, no objection may be filed with respect to any such Administrative Expense other than with respect to the reasonableness of such Administrative Expense or whether such Administrative Expense was incurred in accordance with Section 6.6 of the Indenture.

7.3 No Distributions Pending Allowance. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if a Claim or any portion of a Claim (other than an Asbestos Personal Injury Claim) is a Disputed Claim, no payment or distribution shall be made on account of such Disputed Claim, unless and until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

7.4 Distributions After Allowance. Payments and distributions to each holder of a Claim that is Disputed, or that is not Allowed, to the extent that such Claim ultimately becomes Allowed, shall be made in accordance with the provisions hereof governing the Class of Claims in which such Claim is classified. As soon as practicable after the date that the order or judgment of the District Court allowing any Disputed Claim (other than a disputed Asbestos Claim) becomes a Final Order, Reorganized Congoleum shall distribute to the holder of such Claim any payment or property that would have been distributed to such holder if the Claim had been Allowed as of the Effective Date (or such other date on which such distribution would have been made).

ARTICLE VIII

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS, UNEXPIRED LEASES AND SETTLEMENTS

8.1 Assumption of Unexpired Leases and Executory Contracts

(a) Assumption. Except for any unexpired lease or executory contract that the Plan Proponents reject or designate as being subject to rejection on or before the Effective Date, as of the Effective Date, all executory contracts and unexpired leases not previously assumed or rejected by the Debtors pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed to have been assumed by the Debtors, and the Plan shall constitute a motion to assume such executory contracts and unexpired leases. Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, entry of the Confirmation Order by the District Court shall constitute approval of such assumptions pursuant to section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and a finding by the District Court that each such assumption is in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates and all parties in interest in the Reorganization Cases. With respect to each such executory contract or unexpired lease assumed by the Debtors, unless otherwise determined by the District Court pursuant to a Final Order or agreed to by the parties thereto on or before the Effective Date, any defaults of the Debtors with respect to such assumed executory contracts or leases existing as of the Effective Date shall be cured in the ordinary course of the Reorganized Debtors’ business promptly after any such default becomes known to the Debtors and, if disputed, established pursuant to applicable law by the District Court, and the assumed executory contracts or leases shall be binding upon and enforceable upon the parties thereto, subject to any rights and defenses existing thereunder. Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, upon payment of such cure amounts, all defaults of the Debtors existing as of the Confirmation Date with respect to such executory contract or unexpired lease shall be deemed cured.

(b) Rejection. Notwithstanding subpart (a) of this Section 8.1, the Plan Proponents may reject those executory contracts and unexpired leases listed on an exhibit to be filed with the District Court as part of the Plan Supplement (as such list may be amended or supplemented up to and including the Confirmation Date).

(c) ABI Canada License Agreement; Intercompany Agreements. Pursuant to and in consideration of the Intercompany Settlement and Section 5.15 and other terms of the Plan, on the Effective Date (A) the ABI Canada License Agreement shall be amended as provided in the Intercompany Settlement and deemed to have been assumed by Congoleum and become a contractual obligation of Reorganized Congoleum, and the Plan shall constitute a motion to assume such license agreement and (B) all Intercompany Agreements shall be rejected and all ABI Claims, including without limitation any ABI Rejection Damages Claims (other than claims for payment of Unpaid Intercompany Amounts that may be asserted to the extent consistent with Section 5.15(b)(4)(B) of the Plan), shall be deemed Disallowed and expunged.

8.2 Damages Upon Rejection. Except to the extent arising out of or based on the rejection of any executory contract related to or involving asbestos which shall be dealt with under the TDP, the District Court shall determine the dollar amount, if any, of the Claim of any Entity seeking damages by reason of the rejection of any executory contract or unexpired lease; provided, however, that such Entity must file a Proof of Claim with the District Court on or before thirty (30) calendar days following the later of the Confirmation Date or the date of rejection of the executory contract or unexpired lease. To the extent that any such Claim is Allowed by the District Court by Final Order, such Claim shall become, and shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan as, a Class 9 General Unsecured Claim, and the holder thereof shall receive distributions as a holder of an Allowed Claim in such Class pursuant to the Plan unless such Claim is held by ABI, in which case such Claim shall be Disallowed and expunged.

8.3 Insurance Agreements. Except to the extent expressly set forth in any Asbestos Insurance Settlement Agreement, nothing contained in the Plan or any negotiations leading up to the Plan, including this Section 8.3, shall constitute a waiver of: (i) any claim, right, or cause of action that any of the Debtors or the Plan Trust, as applicable, may have against any insurer, including under any insurance agreement; or (ii) any Asbestos Insurer Coverage Defenses that any Asbestos Insurance Company may have against the Debtors or the Plan Trust. The discharge and release provisions contained in the Plan shall neither diminish nor impair the duties or obligations of any Debtor or any other Entity under any Asbestos Insurance Policy or agreement relating thereto (including any Asbestos Insurance Settlement Agreement), nor shall the discharge and release provisions contained in the Plan diminish nor impair the duties, obligations or the Asbestos Insurer Coverage Defenses of any Asbestos Insurance Company under any Asbestos Insurance Policy or agreement relating thereto. The Reorganized Debtors shall not voluntarily assist any Person in the establishment of any rights, action, cause of action or claim against the Century Entities in anyway relating to any Asbestos Claim or other claim released under the Settlement and Buyback Agreement.

8.4 Compensation and Benefits Programs

iii) Except for the Congoleum Interests which are treated elsewhere in the Plan, unless otherwise agreed to by the affected parties or modified by order of the Bankruptcy Court or District Court, as applicable, all of the Debtors’ obligations under employment and severance policies, and all compensation and benefit plan, policies, and programs shall be treated as though they are executory contracts that are deemed assumed under the Plan.

(b) As of the Effective Date, the Pension Plans, as well as the collective bargaining agreement by and between the Debtors and Teamsters Local 312, shall be deemed to have been assumed by Reorganized Congoleum. Reorganized Congoleum shall continue the Pension Plans, satisfy the minimum funding standards pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 412 and 29 U.S.C. § 1082, and administer the Pension Plans in accordance with their terms and the provisions of ERISA. Furthermore, nothing in the Plan shall be construed as discharging, releasing or relieving the Debtors or Reorganized Congoleum, or any party, in any capacity, from any liability imposed under any law or regulatory provision with respect to the Pension Plans, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) or the Teamsters Pension Trust Fund of Philadelphia Vicinity (the “Teamsters Pension Fund”). The PBGC, the Pension Plans and the Teamsters Pension Fund shall not be enjoined or precluded from enforcing such liability as a result of any provision of the Plan or the Confirmation Order. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.4, the Plan Trust shall not assume any of the liabilities, obligations, or responsibilities of the Debtors or Reorganized Congoleum with respect to the Pension Plans, the PBGC or the Teamster Pension Fund.

8.5 Retiree Benefits. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan (other than the last sentence of this Section 8.5), any payments that are due to any individual for the purpose of providing or reimbursing payments for retired employees and their spouses and dependents for medical, surgical, or hospital care benefits, or benefits in the event of sickness, accident, disability, or death under any plan, fund, or program (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) maintained or established in whole or in part by the Debtors prior to the Petition Date shall be continued for the duration of the period, if any, that the Debtors have obligated themselves to provide such benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no employee or retired employee (nor their spouses or dependents and beneficiaries) of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors shall be entitled to assert any Asbestos Claim against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors.

8.6 Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees The obligations of the Debtors to indemnify their current and former directors, officers or employees to the extent provided in the Debtors’ constituent documents or required pursuant to applicable general corporation law shall be deemed and treated as obligations that are assumed by Reorganized Congoleum pursuant to the Plan as of the Effective Date; provided, however, that (i) with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to, on or after the Petition Date, the indemnification obligation of Reorganized Congoleum is limited exclusively to the extent of proceeds available under any applicable directors and officers insurance policy for the act(s) and/or omission(s) at issue and (ii) no current or former director, officer or employee shall be indemnified with respect to the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of such party.

ARTICLE XI

INJUNCTIONS, RELEASES AND DISCHARGE

11.1 Discharge. a) Except as specifically provided in the Plan, the Plan Documents or in the Confirmation Order, as of the Effective Date, Confirmation shall discharge the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors pursuant to section 1141(d)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code from any and all Claims of any nature whatsoever and Demands including, without limitation, any Claims, demands and liabilities that arose before Confirmation, and all debts of the kind specified in section 502(g), 502(h) or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, whether or not (a) a Proof of Claim based on such Claim was filed or deemed filed under section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code, or such Claim was listed on the Schedules of the Debtors, (b) such Claim is or was Allowed under section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (c) the holder of such Claim has voted on or accepted the Plan. Except as specifically provided in the Plan or Plan Documents, the rights that are provided in the Plan as of the Effective Date shall be in exchange for and in complete satisfaction, settlement and discharge of all Claims (including without limitation Asbestos Claims) or Demands against, Liens on, and interests in the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors or any of their assets or properties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 11.1 shall affect the right of any Asbestos Insurance Company to assert any Asbestos Insurer Coverage Defenses.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, Confirmation shall not discharge any pre-Petition Date or post-Petition Date, pre-Confirmation Date liability that may be due from any of the Debtors to the Internal Revenue Service as currently set forth in certain Proofs of Claim and Administrative Expense Claim, as amended, filed by the Internal Revenue Service. Should any pre-Petition Date or post-Petition Date, pre-Confirmation Date tax liabilities be determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be due from any of the Debtors for any of the tax periods reflected by such Proofs of Claim or Administrative Expense Claim, such liabilities shall be determined administratively or in a judicial forum in the manner in which such liabilities would have been resolved had these Reorganization Cases not been commenced. Any resulting liabilities determined pursuant to a Final Order or other final determination shall be paid as if these Reorganization Cases had not been commenced.

11.2 Exculpation As of the Effective Date, (i) the Debtors, the Futures Representative, the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee, the Bondholders’ Committee and each of their Representatives shall not have or incur any liability to any Entity for any act or omission taken on or after the Petition Date in connection with or arising out of the negotiation of the Plan, any Plan Document or any prior plan of reorganization relating to the Debtors or other related documents, the pursuit of Confirmation of the Plan or any prior plan of reorganization relating to the Debtors, the consummation of the Plan, or the administration of the Plan, or the property to be distributed under the Plan; and (ii) in all respects the Debtors, Futures Representative, the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee and the Bondholders’ Committee shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities under the Plan and the other Plan Documents. For avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any such party be exculpated from liability under this Section 11.2 in the case of the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of such party. None of the foregoing parties shall be exculpated under this provision with respect to any acts occurring prior to the Petition Date. With respect to officers and directors of the Debtors, this section shall apply only to such officers and directors who were serving in such capacity on and after the Petition Date.

11.3 Releases by Holders of Plan Trust Asbestos Claims. Pursuant to this Section 11.3 and the Confirmation Order, which may include release(s) for the benefit of any Settling Asbestos Insurance Company consistent with the terms of this Section 11.3 and the terms of the relevant Asbestos Insurance Settlement Agreement, any holder of a Plan Trust Asbestos Claim that receives a payment from the Plan Trust shall be deemed to have unconditionally released the Plan Trust and each Settling Asbestos Insurance Company from any and all Claims, obligations, rights, suits, damages, causes of action, remedies, and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereafter arising, in law, equity, or otherwise, arising from, relating to, or involving the manufacture, sale, distribution, installation, formulation, marketing, transport, handling or any other activity involving any asbestos containing products of Congoleum and any of Congoleum entities identified in the Confirmation Order, which may incorporate the terms of one or more Asbestos Insurance Settlement Agreement, or their premises to the extent such Claim arises from, relates to or involves exposure to asbestos, including without limitation, any operation claims, contribution claims, direct action claims, and insurance coverage claims. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any such party be released under this Section 11.3 in the case of the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of such party.

11.4 Discharge Injunction. Except as specifically provided in the Plan Documents to the contrary, the satisfaction, release, and discharge set forth in Section 11.1 shall also operate as an injunction, pursuant to sections 105, 524(g) and 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, prohibiting and enjoining the commencement or continuation of any action, the employment of process or any act to collect, recover from, or offset (a) any Claim or Demand against or Interest in the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Plan Trust by any Entity and (b) any cause of action, whether known or unknown, against the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors based on such Claim or Interest described in subpart (a) of this Section 11.4.

11.5 Third Party Releases. Notwithstanding anything set forth in the Plan, no third party releases are being granted pursuant to the Plan nor are the Plan Proponents seeking approval of any such third party releases.

11.6 Asbestos Channeling Injunction. The sole recourse of the holder of a Plan Trust Asbestos Claim or Demand on account of such Claim or Demand or of a Person that had or could have asserted an Asbestos Claim or Demand shall be to the Plan Trust pursuant to the provisions of the Asbestos Channeling Injunction, the Plan, the Plan Trust Agreement and the TDP, and such holder shall have no right whatsoever at any time to assert its Plan Trust Asbestos Claim or Demand against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, any other Protected Party, or any property or interest in property of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any other Protected Party. Without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Effective Date, the Asbestos Channeling Injunction shall apply to all present and future holders of Plan Trust Asbestos Claims and Demands, and all such holders shall be permanently and forever stayed, restrained, and enjoined from taking any of the following actions for the purpose of, directly or indirectly, collecting, recovering, or receiving payment of, on, or with respect to any Plan Trust Asbestos Claims and Demands, other than from the Plan Trust in accordance with the Asbestos Channeling Injunction and pursuant to the Plan, the Plan Trust Agreement and the TDP:

(a) commencing, conducting, or continuing in any manner, directly or indirectly, any suit, action, or other proceeding (including a judicial, arbitration, administrative, or other proceeding) in any forum against or affecting any Protected Party or any property or interests in property of any Protected Party;

(b) enforcing, levying, attaching (including any prejudgment attachment), collecting, or otherwise recovering by any means or in any manner, whether directly or indirectly, any judgment, award, decree, or other order against any Protected Party or any property or interests in property of any Protected Party;

(c) creating, perfecting, or otherwise enforcing in any manner, directly or indirectly, any encumbrance against any Protected Party, or any property or interests in property of any Protected Party;

(d) setting off, seeking reimbursement of, contribution from, or subrogation against, or otherwise recouping in any manner, directly or indirectly, any amount against any liability owed to any Protected Party or any property or interests in property of any Protected Party; and

(e) proceeding in any manner in any place with regard to any matter that is subject to resolution pursuant to the Plan Trust, except in conformity and compliance with the Plan, the Plan Trust Agreement and the TDP.

Any right, claim or cause of action that an Asbestos Insurance Company may have been entitled to assert against a Settling Asbestos Insurance Company based on or relating to Asbestos Claims shall be channeled to and become a right, claim or cause of action as an offset claim against the Plan Trust and not against the Settling Asbestos Insurance Company in question and all persons, including any Asbestos Insurance Company, shall be enjoined from asserting any such right, claim or cause of action against a Settling Asbestos Insurance Company.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any claim, right or cause of action that the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Plan Trust may have against any Entity in connection with or arising out of or related to an Asbestos Claim. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, nothing in the Plan shall be understood to channel, prevent, impair or limit in any way enforcement against the Debtors, Reorganized Congoleum, or any other Protected Party of any rights provided in connection with any Workers’ Compensation Claim.

11.7 Reservation of Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the satisfaction, release and discharge, and the Injunctions set forth in Article XI, shall not serve to satisfy, discharge, release, or enjoin (a) claims by any Entity (other than the Reorganized Debtors and their Affiliates) against the Plan Trust for payment of Plan Trust Asbestos Claims in accordance with the Plan, the Plan Trust Agreement and the TDP, as applicable, (b) claims by any Entity against the Plan Trust for the payment of Plan Trust Expenses, (c) claims by the Reorganized Debtors, the Plan Trust, or any other Entity to enforce the provisions of any Asbestos Insurance Settlement Agreement or any provision of the Plan or another Plan Document, or (d) the rights of any Asbestos Insurance Company to assert any claim, debt, obligation, cause of action or liability for payment against any other Asbestos Insurance Company that is not a Settling Asbestos Insurance Company.

11.8 Rights Against Non-Debtors under Securities Laws. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary contained in the Disclosure Statement, Plan, and/or Confirmation Order, no provision shall release any non-Debtor, including any current and/or former officer and/or director of the Debtors from liability to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, in connection with any legal action or claim brought by such governmental unit against such Person(s).

11.9 Rights Against Debtors Under Environmental Laws. Environmental rights and Claims of Governmental Units and rights of contribution, reimbursement and indemnity by other Entities (other than ABI) under applicable Environmental Laws shall survive the Reorganization Cases, shall not be discharged, impaired or adversely affected by the Plan and the Reorganization Cases and shall be determined in the manner and by the administrative or judicial tribunals in which such rights or Claims would have been resolved or adjudicated if the Reorganization Cases had not been commenced. Governmental Units and other Entities, other than ABI whose claims, if any, shall be discharged, need not file any Proofs of Claim under Environmental Laws in the Reorganization Cases in order to preserve Claims under Environmental Laws. Nothing in the Confirmation Order or Plan shall be construed as releasing or relieving any Entity of any liability under any Environmental Law.

11.10 Disallowed Claims and Disallowed Interests. On and after the Effective Date, the Debtors shall be fully and finally discharged from any liability or obligation on a Disallowed Claim or a Disallowed Interest and any order creating a Disallowed Claim or a Disallowed Interest that is not a Final Order as of the Effective Date solely because of an Entity’s right to move for reconsideration of such order pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rule 3008 will nevertheless become and be deemed to be a Final Order on the Effective Date. The Confirmation Order, except as otherwise provided herein, or unless the District Court orders otherwise, shall constitute an order: (a) disallowing all Claims (other than Plan Trust Asbestos Claims that have not been previously expunged by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or District Court, as applicable, or withdrawn) and Interests to the extent such Claims and Interests are not allowable under any provision of section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, including, but not limited to, time-barred Claims, and Claims for unmatured interest, and (b) disallowing or subordinating, as the case may be, any Claims, or portions of Claims, for penalties or Non-Compensatory Damages.

11.11 Anti-Suit Injunction. With respect to any Settling Asbestos Insurance Company, this Section 11.11 and the Confirmation Order, which may include anti-suit injunction(s) for the benefit of any Settling Asbestos Insurance Company consistent with the terms of this Section 11.10 and the terms of the relevant Asbestos Insurance Settlement Agreement, shall operate as an injunction, pursuant to section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, permanently and forever prohibiting and enjoining the commencement, conduct or continuation of any action or cause of action, whether known or unknown, the employment of process or any act to collect, recover from or offset any non-asbestos claim, Claim or demand against any Settling Asbestos Insurance Company arising out of, relating to, or in connection with an Asbestos Insurance Policy or any other insurance policy or rights under such other insurance policy issued to or insuring the relationship of the relevant Settling Asbestos Insurance Companies with, the relevant Congoleum entities that are insureds under such policies, but such injunction pursuant to section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code shall not affect or modify the rights of Persons insured under policies of insurance except to the extent released in an Asbestos Insurance Settlement Agreement.

11.12 Insurance Neutrality

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.12(b):

(i) Nothing in the Plan, the Plan Documents or the Confirmation Order shall preclude any Entity from asserting in any proceeding any and all claims, defenses, rights or causes of action that it has or may have under or in connection with any Asbestos Insurance Policy or any Asbestos Insurance Settlement Agreement with respect thereto;

(ii) Nothing in the Plan, the Plan Documents or the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to waive any claims, defenses, rights or causes of action that any Entity has or may have under the provisions, terms, conditions, defenses and/or exclusions contained in any Asbestos Insurance Policy or any Asbestos Insurance Settlement Agreement with respect thereto, including but not limited to any and all such claims, defenses, rights or causes of action based upon or arising out of Asbestos Personal Injury Claims that are liquidated, resolved, discharged, channeled, or paid in connection with the Plan; and

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Confirmation Order, the Plan, or any of the Plan Documents, nothing in the Confirmation Order, the Plan, or any of the Plan Documents (including any other provision that purports to be preemptory or supervening other than Section 11.12(b)), shall in any way operate to impair, or have the effect of impairing, the insurers’ legal, equitable, or contractual rights, if any, in any respect; nor shall the Plan, any of the Plan Documents, the Confirmation Order, or the estimation, liquidation or payment of any Claim for purposes of distribution by the Trust in accordance with the Plan and the Plan Documents have any binding effect on any Asbestos Insurance Company or have any res judicata or collateral estoppel effect upon any Asbestos Insurance Company for any other purpose, including without limitation with respect to the amount or the reasonableness of any such Claim, or constitute a binding determination on any issue or the creation of any liquidated claim with respect to any Asbestos Insurance Company. The rights of insurers shall be determined under the applicable Asbestos Insurance Policy or any Asbestos Insurance Settlement Agreement with respect thereto.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.12(a), Asbestos Insurance Companies shall be bound by the District Court’s findings and conclusions with respect to whether, under the Bankruptcy Code, the assignment or transfer of rights under the Asbestos Insurance Assignment is valid and enforceable against each Asbestos Insurance Company notwithstanding any anti-assignment provision in or incorporated into any Asbestos Insurance Policy and applicable state law, and therefore Asbestos Insurance Companies shall be entitled to litigate that issue in connection with Confirmation, and shall retain all rights of appeal with respect thereto. Further, to the extent any Asbestos Insurance Company chooses, notwithstanding the protections provided by Section 11.11(a), to litigate any other issues in connection with Confirmation, and the District Court gives such Asbestos Insurance Company standing to litigate those issues and rules on the merits of those issues, then such Asbestos Insurance Company shall be bound by the District Court's findings and conclusions thereon, subject to any rights of appeal.

11.13 No Liability for Solicitation or Participation. Pursuant to section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Confirmation Order will provide that all of the Persons who have solicited acceptances or rejections of the Plan (including the Bondholders’ Committee, the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee, the Debtors and each of their respective members and Representatives, as applicable, and the Voting Agent) have acted in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and are not liable on account of such solicitation or participation, for violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or the offer, issuance, sale or purchase of securities.

ARTICLE XII

MATTERS INCIDENT TO PLAN CONFIRMATION

12.1 Term of Certain Injunctions and Automatic Stay

(a) All of the injunctions and/or automatic stays provided for in or in connection with the Reorganization Cases, whether pursuant to section 105, 362, 524(g), or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law, in existence immediately prior to Confirmation shall remain in full force and effect until the Injunctions become effective, and thereafter if so provided by the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or by their own terms. In addition, on and after Confirmation, the Bondholders’ Committee, the Debtors and the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee may seek such further orders as they may deem necessary to preserve the status quo during the time between Confirmation and the Effective Date.

(b) Each of the Injunctions shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall continue in effect at all times thereafter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, all actions in the nature of those to be enjoined by the Injunctions shall be enjoined during the period between the Confirmation Date and the Effective Date.

12.2 No Successor Liability. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, their Affiliates, the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee, the Bondholders’ Committee, the Plan Trust and the Futures Representative do not, pursuant to the Plan or otherwise, assume, agree to perform, pay, or indemnify creditors or otherwise have any responsibilities for any liabilities or obligations of the Debtors relating to or arising out of the operations of or assets of the Debtors, whether arising prior to, on, or after the Confirmation Date. Neither the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, their Affiliates, nor the Plan Trust is, or shall be, a successor to the Debtors by reason of any theory of law or equity, and none shall have any successor or transferee liability of any kind or character, except that the Reorganized Debtors and the Plan Trust shall assume the obligations specified in the Plan Documents and the Confirmation Order.

12.3 Revesting. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, on the Effective Date, Reorganized Congoleum shall be vested with all of the assets and property of the Estates, free and clear of all Claims, Liens, charges and other interests of holders of Claims or Interests, and may operate its business free of any restrictions imposed by the Bankruptcy Code or by the District Court.

12.4 Vesting and Enforcement of Causes of Action. Pursuant to section 1123(b)(3)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, Reorganized Congoleum shall be vested with and have the right to enforce against any Entity any and all of the Debtors’ Causes of Action other than Causes of Action related to Plan Trust Asbestos Claims and Plan Trust Assets (including the right to pursue such claims, if any, in the name of any Debtor if necessary), with the proceeds of the recovery of any such actions to be property of Reorganized Congoleum; provided, however, that nothing herein shall alter, amend, or modify the injunctions (including the Injunctions), releases, or discharges provided herein. Pursuant to section 1123(b)(3)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Plan Trust shall be vested with and have the right to enforce against any Entity any and all of the Debtors’ Causes of Action relating to any Plan Trust Asbestos Claims or any Plan Trust Assets, including the right to pursue such claims, if any, in the name of any Debtor, if necessary; and for this purpose the Plan Trust shall be designated as a representative of the Estates, with the proceeds of the recovery of any such actions to be property of the Plan Trust; provided, however, that nothing herein shall alter, amend, or modify the injunctions (including the Injunctions), releases, or discharges provided herein.

After the Effective Date, Reorganized Congoleum, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to bring, settle, release, compromise, or enforce such Causes of Action (or decline to do any of the foregoing), without further approval of the District Court. Reorganized Congoleum, or any successors, in the exercise of its sole discretion, may pursue such Causes of Action so long as it is in the best interests of Reorganized Congoleum or any successors holding such rights of action. The failure of the Plan Proponents to specifically list any claim, right of action, suit, proceeding or other Causes of Action in the Plan or the Plan Supplement does not, and will not be deemed to, constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors or Reorganized Congoleum of such claim, right of action, suit, proceeding or other Causes of Action, and Reorganized Congoleum will retain the right to pursue such claims, rights of action, suits, proceedings and other Causes of Action in its sole discretion and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise) or laches will apply to such claim, right of action, suit, proceeding or other Causes of Action upon or after the Confirmation or consummation of the Plan.

12.5 GHR/Kenesis Actions. On the Effective Date, the GHR/Kenesis Actions shall be preserved for enforcement solely by, and for the sole benefit of, Reorganized Congoleum.

ARTICLE XIII

MISCELLANEOUS

13.1 Jurisdiction. Until the Reorganization Cases are closed, the District Court shall retain the fullest and most extensive jurisdiction permissible, including that necessary to ensure that the purposes and intent of the Plan are carried out. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the District Court shall retain jurisdiction to hear and determine all Claims against and Interests in the Debtors, and to adjudicate and enforce all other causes of action which may exist on behalf of the Debtors. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Debtors, Reorganized Congoleum, or the Plan Trust from taking such action as may be necessary in the enforcement of any cause of action which the Debtors have or may have and which may not have been enforced or prosecuted by the Debtors, which cause of action shall survive Confirmation of the Plan and shall not be affected thereby except as specifically provided herein. Nothing contained herein concerning the retention of jurisdiction by the District Court shall be deemed to be a retention of exclusive jurisdiction with respect to any Asbestos Insurance Action; rather any court other than the District Court which has jurisdiction over an Asbestos Insurance Action shall have the continuing right to exercise such jurisdiction.

13.2 General Retention. Following the Confirmation of the Plan, the administration of the Reorganization Cases will continue at least until the completion of the transfers contemplated to be accomplished on the Effective Date. Moreover, the Plan Trust shall be subject to the continuing jurisdiction of the District Court to the extent required by the requirements of section 468B of the IRC and the regulations issued pursuant thereto. The District Court shall also retain jurisdiction for the purpose of classification of any Claim and the re-examination of Claims that have been Allowed for purposes of voting, and the determination of such objections as may be filed with the District Court with respect to any Claim. The failure by the Debtors to object to, or examine, any Claim for the purposes of voting, shall not be deemed a waiver of the right of the Debtors, Reorganized Congoleum, or the Plan Trust, as the case may be, to object to or re-examine such Claim in whole or in part.

13.3 Specific Purposes. In addition to the foregoing, the District Court shall retain jurisdiction for the following specific purposes after Confirmation:

(a) to modify the Plan after Confirmation, pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules;

(b) to correct any defect, cure any omission, reconcile any inconsistency, or make any other necessary changes or modifications in or to the Plan, the Plan Documents or the Confirmation Order as may be necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of the Plan, including the adjustment of the date(s) of performance under the Plan Documents in the event that the Effective Date does not occur as provided herein so that the intended effect of the Plan may be substantially realized thereby;

(c) to assure the performance by the Disbursing Agent, the Indenture Trustee and the Plan Trustee of their respective obligations to make distributions under the Plan;

Subject to § 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, if the District Court determines at or in connection with the Confirmation Hearing that any provision of the Plan is invalid or unenforceable, such provision, to the extent the Plan Proponents agree, shall be severable from the Plan and null and void, and, in such event, such determination shall in no way limit or affect the enforceability or operative effect of any or all other provisions of the Plan.

13.20 Successors and Assigns. The rights, duties, and obligations of any Entity named or referred to in the Plan shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the successors and assigns of such Entity.
