A Claim or an Equity Interest is in a particular Class only to the extent that any such Claim or Equity Interest is Allowed in that Class and has not been paid or otherwise settled prior to the Effective Date.

ARTICLE IV.

MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN

A.	Substantive Consolidation

Except as expressly provided in this Plan, each Debtor shall continue to maintain its separate corporate existence for all purposes other than the treatment of Claims under this Plan and distributions hereunder. On the Effective Date, (i) all Intercompany Claims among the Debtors shall be eliminated and there shall be no distributions on account of such Intercompany Claims; (ii) any obligation of a Debtor and any guarantee thereof by any other Debtor shall be deemed to be one obligation, and any such guarantee shall be eliminated, (iii) each Claim Filed or to be Filed against more than one Debtor shall be deemed Filed only against one consolidated Debtor and shall be deemed a single Claim against and a single obligation of the Debtors, and (iv) any joint or several liability of the Debtors shall be deemed one obligation of the Debtors, with each of the foregoing effective retroactive to the Petition Date. On the Effective Date, and in accordance with the terms of the Plan, all Claims based upon guarantees of collection, payment or performance made by one Debtor as to the obligations of another Debtor shall be released and of no further force and effect. Such substantive consolidation shall not (other than for purposes relating to the Plan) affect the legal and corporate structures of the Reorganized Debtors.

In the event the Bankruptcy Court does not approve the substantive consolidation of all of the Estates for the purposes set forth herein, the Plan shall be treated as a separate plan of reorganization for each Debtor not substantively consolidated.

The Plan shall serve as, and shall be deemed to be, a motion for entry of an order substantively consolidating the Chapter 11 Cases for the limited purposes set forth herein. If no objection to substantive consolidation is timely Filed and served by any Holder of an Impaired Claim on or before the deadline to object to the confirmation of the Plan, or such other date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court and the Debtors meet their burden of introducing evidence to establish that substantive consolidation is merited under the standards of applicable bankruptcy law, the Confirmation Order, which shall be deemed to substantively consolidate the Debtors for the limited purposes set forth herein, may be entered by the Court. If any such objections are timely Filed and served, a hearing with respect to the substantive consolidation of the Chapter 11 Cases and the objections thereto shall be scheduled by the Bankruptcy Court, which hearing shall coincide with the Confirmation Hearing.

B.	General Settlement of Claims and Interests

Under sections 363 and 1123(b)(3)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the Plan Distributions, the payment of the Restructuring Expenses, and other benefits provided under this Plan, the Settlement Stipulation and the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation, the provisions of this Plan, the Settlement Stipulation and the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation shall constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all Claims and controversies relating to the rights that a Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest may have with respect to such Claim or Equity Interest or any Plan Distribution on account thereof, including (i) the amount, value, and treatment of the Thirty Two Claim; (ii) the validity, extent and priority of the Liens securing the Thirty Two Claim; (iii) the value of the Debtors’ encumbered and unencumbered assets; (iv) the allocation of distributable value among the creditor classes and Existing PHI Interests; and (v) the Plan Equity Value and the Total Enterprise Value of the Debtors.

C.	Global Settlement

Under section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration of the substantial contribution and value provided, the Plan reflects a compromise and settlement of numerous Debtor-creditor, inter-creditor and existing equity issues, in the form of a global settlement, designed to achieve an economic settlement of such issues and potential Claims and Causes of Action against the Debtors. The entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, as of the Effective Date, of each of the compromises and settlements embodied in the Plan, including the Settlement Stipulation and the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation, and the Bankruptcy Court’s finding that all such compromises or settlements are: (i) in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, the Reorganized Debtors, and their respective property and stakeholders; and (ii) fair, equitable and within the range of reasonableness. The terms of the Settlement Stipulation are incorporated into the Plan. The provisions of the Plan and the Settlement Stipulation, including, without limitation, the release, injunction, exculpation and compromise provisions of the Plan, are mutually dependent.

In the event that, for any reason, the Confirmation Order is not entered or the Effective Date does not occur, the Debtors, the Creditors’ Committee and the Equity Committee reserve all of their respective rights with respect to any and all disputes resolved and settled under the Plan, the Settlement Stipulation and the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation and with respect to the terms of the Plan.

The issuance of the Old Equity Settlement Warrants for distribution under the Plan is authorized without the need for further corporate action, and all of the Old Equity Settlement Warrants issued or issuable under the Plan shall be duly authorized and validly issued. The Old Equity Settlement Warrants shall consist of warrants exercisable in the aggregate into New Common Stock constituting 5% of the total equity of New Holding Company (calculated as of the Effective Date and subject to dilution on account of the Management Incentive Plan and future equity issuances), at an initial strike price equal to the amount of debt Claims (including accrued and unpaid interest, if any) settled, in Cash, debt or equity under the Plan, as of the Confirmation Date. Each of the Old Equity Settlement Warrants shall have a three (3) year tenor and be exercisable either at the strike price or on a cashless basis at the option of the holder thereof. The Old Equity Settlement Warrants shall be filed with the Plan Supplement, and shall contain the following additional terms: (a) no Black-Scholes protection; (b) anti-dilution protection for two (2) years following the Effective Date of the Plan, against extraordinary dividends paid from the proceeds of any sale of a division or similar substantial part of the Reorganized Debtors as set forth in the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation; (c) freely tradable under section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code (whether the Reorganized Debtors’ equity is publicly listed or not); (d) structured such that they do not count towards the foreign ownership cap in order to comply with applicable regulatory restrictions as determined by the Debtors and the Creditors’ Committee in their reasonable discretion; and (e) equity interests issued on account of the Old Equity Settlement Warrants to be subject to limitations as determined by the Debtors in their reasonable discretion to assure compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan or the Disclosure Statement, Mr. Al A. Gonsoulin or any of his Affiliates, shall have waived its or their rights to receive any Old Equity Settlement Warrants on account of any Existing PHI Interests held or owned by Mr. Al A. Gonsoulin or any of his Affiliates.

E.	Stockholders Agreement

On the Effective Date, New Holding Company and the Holders of the New Common Stock shall enter into the Stockholders Agreement in substantially the form included in the Plan Supplement if one is included therein. The Stockholders Agreement shall be deemed to be valid, binding, and enforceable in accordance with its terms, and each holder of the New Common Stock shall be bound thereby, in each case without the need for execution by any party thereto other than the Reorganized Debtor entity referenced herein.

F.	Management Incentive Plan

On the Effective Date, up to 10% of the New Common Stock (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not take into account any dilution from the potential conversion of any derivative or convertible securities exercised after the Effective Date) will be reserved for issuance under the Management Incentive Plan. The Management Incentive Plan will be for directors, officers, and key employees of the Reorganized Debtors (each, a “MIP Participant”). The initial percentage (and no other terms and conditions) of the Management Incentive Plan allocable to the MIP Participants shall be determined by the Creditors’ Committee and identified in the Plan Supplement, and such initial percentage will be allocated by the New Board within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date. Lyons, Benenson & Company, Inc. (retained by the Debtors) will assist the Creditors’ Committee in determining such initial percentage. The form, terms, allocation, and vesting applicable to the Management Incentive Plan shall be determined by the New Board.

G.	Employment Agreements

The New Board and each KEIP Participant agrees to negotiate an employment agreement within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date, taking into consideration the recommendations received by the New Board from Lyons, Benenson & Company, Inc. with respect to market practices. If, at the expiration of such sixty (60) day period, the New Board and the KEIP Participant have not reached an agreement with respect to such KEIP Participant’s employment agreement, either the KEIP Participant or the New Board may terminate the employment relationship between the Reorganized Debtors and the KEIP Participant, and in such case the applicable KEIP Participant shall receive one hundred percent (100%) of his or her annual base salary as severance; provided, however, that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall not change the base salary of any KEIP Participant in effect as of March 28, 2019, without the prior written consent of the Creditors’ Committee or the New Board, respectively. If the New Board elects to terminate a KEIP Participant’s employment without cause prior to: (i) the expiration of sixty (60) days from the Effective Date, and (ii) reaching an agreement with respect to such KEIP Participant’s employment agreement, then such KEIP Participant shall be entitled to receive one hundred percent (100%) of their annual base salary as severance.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the maximum severance payment that any KEIP Participant may receive in connection with the foregoing construct is one hundred percent (100%) of his or her annual base salary, and (ii) any such severance payment shall be in lieu of any and all severance payments/benefits to which the KEIP Participant may have otherwise been entitled to (including any benefits provided for under any severance-related plan, program or arrangement); provided, however, that such limitation shall not impair the KEIP Participant from any entitlement under the Debtors’ Key Employee Incentive Plan, as approved by the Bankruptcy Court on June 6, 2019 [Docket No. 620].

If within sixty (60) days from the Effective Date any KEIP Participant (i) elects to terminate his or her employment with the Reorganized Debtor, or (ii) is terminated by the New Board for cause, then such KEIP Participant shall not be entitled to receive any severance payment.

Any severance payment shall be subject to the execution of an effective release agreement, and the agreement of the KEIP Participant not to compete with the Reorganized Debtors for ninety (90) days following such termination, and not to solicit (with respect to customers, vendors, lessors, and employees of the Reorganized Debtors and their non-Debtor Affiliates) for a period of one year following such termination and non-disparagement and standard confidentiality agreements.

H.	Restructuring Expenses

On the Effective Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall pay in full in Cash all outstanding Restructuring Expenses incurred, or estimated to be incurred, through the Effective Date, in accordance with the terms of the applicable orders, engagement letters, or other applicable contractual arrangements, but without regard to any notice or objection period as may be contained in such applicable orders, engagement letters, or other applicable contractual arrangements, subject to adjustment, if necessary, for the actual Restructuring Expenses incurred; provided, however, with respect to any Restructuring Expenses incurred through the Confirmation Date, to the extent any notice or objection period has not yet run as of the Effective Date, any such notice or objection periods shall survive after the Effective Date and, to the extent of any timely and successful objection to any Restructuring Expenses, the recipient of such successfully challenged Restructuring Expenses shall be subject to disgorgement.

I.	Continued Corporate Existence

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, each Debtor shall continue to exist as of the Effective Date as a separate corporate Entity, limited liability company, partnership, or other form, as the case may be, with all the powers of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or other form, as the case may be, under the applicable law in the jurisdiction in which each applicable Debtor is incorporated or formed and under the respective certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation documents) in effect prior to the Effective Date, except to the extent such certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation documents) are amended by the Plan or otherwise, and to the extent such documents are amended, such documents are deemed to be under the Plan and require no further action or approval.

The Reorganized Debtors intend to create a holding company as their immediate parent (“New Holding Company”) to act as the issuer of equity securities to the public, including to Holders entitled to receive equity under the Plan. Therefore, in lieu of shares or warrants for shares of Reorganized PHI, the Holders shall receive New Holding Company stock or warrants as more fully described above. It is currently anticipated that New Holding Company will conduct no operations and hold no assets other than 100% of the shares of Reorganized PHI.

J.	Vesting of Assets in the Reorganized Debtors

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated herein, on the Effective Date, all property in each Estate, all Causes of Action, and any property acquired by any of the Debtors under the Plan shall vest in each respective Reorganized Debtor (and New Holding Company), free and clear of all Liens, Claims, charges, or other encumbrances. On and after the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, each Reorganized Debtor may operate its business and may use, acquire, or dispose of property and compromise or settle any Claims, Equity 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.

K.	Cancellation of Agreements, Security Interests, and Other Interests

On the Effective Date, except to the extent otherwise specifically provided herein, all notes, instruments, certificates, and other documents evidencing the Thirty Two Claim, Blue Torch Claim, Unsecured Notes Claims and Equity Interests, shall be cancelled and the obligations of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors and any non-Debtor Affiliates thereunder or in any way related thereto (including, without limitation, any guarantee obligations of any non-Debtor Affiliates with respect to the Unsecured Notes Claims) shall be discharged and the agents and indenture trustees thereunder shall be automatically and fully discharged from all duties and obligations thereunder. Thirty Two’s commitments and obligations (if any) to extend any further or future credit or financial accommodations under the Thirty Two Loan Agreement to any of the Debtors, any of their respective subsidiaries, or any of their respective successors or assigns (as applicable), Thirty Two’s participation in letters of credit issued under the Thirty Two Loan Agreement (other than the obligations of any relevant letter of credit issuer with respect to outstanding letters of credit that remain outstanding in accordance with Article III of this Plan), and all security interests and/or Liens granted under the Blue Torch Facility and/or any other Secured Claims shall also be automatically released, discharged, terminated, and of no further force and effect as of the Effective Date; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or the Confirmation Order, Confirmation or the occurrence of the Effective Date, any credit document or agreement that governs the rights of any Holder of a Thirty Two Claim, Unsecured Notes Claim or Equity Interest shall continue in effect solely for purposes of (1) allowing Holders of such Allowed Claims or Equity Interests to receive distributions under the Plan; (2) allowing and preserving the rights of the agents or representative of Holders of such Claims or Equity Interests, as applicable, to make distributions on account of such Allowed Claims or Equity Interests, as provided herein; (3) preserve any rights of the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee as against any money or property distributable to holders of Unsecured Notes Claims, respectively, including any priority in respect of payment of fees, expenses, or indemnification and the right to exercise any charging lien; (4) preserve all rights, remedies, indemnities, powers, and protections of the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee (including all rights to payment of fees and expenses) as against any person or entity other than the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, any non-Debtor Affiliates and any of their respective Related Persons; (5) preserve all exculpations in favor of the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee; (6) allow the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee to enforce any rights and obligations owed to it under this Plan or the Confirmation Order; and (7) permit the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee to appear and be heard in the Chapter 11 Cases, or in any proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court or any other court.

L.	Exemption from Registration Requirements; Trading of Securities

The offering, issuance, and distribution of New Common Stock, the New Warrants, and the Old Equity Settlement Warrants (collectively, the “New Equity Securities”) issued under the Plan shall be exempt from, among other things, the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act under section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code or, with respect to any New Common Stock issued pursuant to the Minimum Cash Commitment Exchange (other than the New Common Stock issued in connection with the Minimum Cash Commitment Premium), under section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the governing certificates or instruments, any and all New Common Stock (and any New Warrants) and any Old Equity Settlement Warrants issued under the Plan will be freely tradable under the Securities Act by the recipients thereof, subject to: (1) the provisions of section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code relating to the definition of an underwriter in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and compliance with any applicable individual state securities laws (“Blue Sky Laws”) or foreign securities laws, if any, and any rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission, if any, applicable at the time of any future transfer of such New Equity Securities or instruments; (2) the restrictions imposed with respect to “affiliate shares” under the Securities Act by those persons who are Affiliates of the Reorganized Debtors; (3) the restrictions, if any, on the transferability of such New Equity Securities and instruments provided by law, including restrictions imposed by laws applicable to air carriers, and provided in the New Equity Documents; and (4) any other applicable regulatory approvals and requirements.

The issuance and sale, as applicable, of the New Common Stock issued to the Commitment Parties under the Minimum Cash Commitment Agreement (other than the New Common Stock issued in connection with the Minimum Cash Commitment Premium) is being made in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder. Such securities will be considered “restricted securities” and may not be transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement or under an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, such as, under certain conditions, the resale provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

Neither the Debtors nor the Reorganized Debtors are able to determine the availability of state securities laws exemptions for an issuance to a particular holder until such holder identifies its relevant state jurisdiction. Certain states do not provide exemptions for offerings relying on a federal private placement exemption and, in such states, state securities laws requirements must be met. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a state securities law exemption will be available in a particular state for a holder receiving New Equity Securities under the Plan, which may necessitate one or more state securities filings on behalf of such holder to comply with state securities laws.

M.	Organizational Documents

Subject to Article IV.D of this Plan, the Reorganized Debtors (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Reorganized PHI and New Holding Company) shall enter into such agreements and amend their corporate governance documents to the extent necessary to implement the terms and provisions of the Plan. Under section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, the organizational documents of each of the Reorganized Debtors will prohibit the issuance of non-voting Equity Securities. After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors will amend and restate their respective organizational documents, and the Reorganized Debtors will file their respective certificates or articles of incorporation, bylaws, or such other applicable formation documents, and other constituent documents as permitted by the laws of the respective states, provinces, or countries of incorporation and the organization documents of each of the Reorganized Debtors. It is currently expected that the Reorganized Debtors’ organizational documents will be amended immediately following Confirmation consistent with the Settlement Stipulation to contain provisions that preclude foreign control and prevent foreign ownership of the Reorganized Debtors from exceeding specified limitations required by U.S. federal law governing air carriers. These amendments will involve safeguards to ensure that at no time will the Reorganized Debtors (including New Holding Company) be out of compliance with the foreign ownership limitations contained in such laws.

N.	Exemption from Certain Transfer Taxes and Recording Fees

To the fullest extent permitted by section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfer from a Debtor to a Reorganized Debtor or to any Entity under, in contemplation of, or in connection with the Plan or under: (1) the issuance, distribution, transfer, or exchange of any debt, securities, or other interest in the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors; (2) the creation, modification, consolidation, or recording of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest, or the securing of additional indebtedness by such or other means; (3) the making, assignment, or recording of any lease or sublease; or (4) 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, mortgage recording tax, Uniform Commercial Code filing or recording fee, regulatory filing or recording fee, or other similar tax or governmental assessment, and the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents shall 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.

O.	New Board and Officers of the Reorganized Debtors

The New Board

As of the Effective Date, the terms of the current members of the board of directors of PHI shall expire, and, without further order of the Bankruptcy Court, the New Board shall be appointed and shall initially comprise seven (7) members as follows: (a) Mr. Lance Bospflug, as Chief Executive Officer of the Reorganized Debtors; and (b) six (6) members designated by the Creditors’ Committee, provided, however, that two (2) such members shall be (i) independent directors with requisite industry experience; and (ii) selected by the Creditors’ Committee in consultation with Mr. Bospflug, who shall have a veto right with respect to one (1) of such two (2) members. The Reorganized Debtors will require that at least two-thirds of the members of the New Board, two-thirds of the Reorganized Debtors’ senior management team, and the president of any of the Reorganized Debtors that is an air carrier as defined in 49 U.S.C. § 40102(a) will be a United States citizen for purposes of compliance with applicable federal laws relating to air carriers.

The Debtors expect that the members of the New Board will be disclosed in the Plan Supplement or prior to the Effective Date.

Senior Management

On the Effective Date, except as otherwise set forth in the Settlement Stipulation, the officers of the Reorganized Debtors shall be substantially the same and their employment shall be subject to the ordinary rights and powers of the New Board to remove or replace them in accordance with the Reorganized Debtors’ organizational documents and any applicable employment agreements that are assumed under the Plan (subject to any modifications thereto provided for under the Plan, including the limitation on severance contemplated by Article IV.G).

Mr. Al A. Gonsoulin Retirement

Mr. Gonsoulin shall enter into a three year (or such shorter time to the extent required by applicable law) non-solicit (with respect to customers, vendors, lessors, and employees of the Debtors and their non-Debtor affiliates) and non-disparagement agreement with the Debtors and/or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable (the “Non-Solicit and Non-Disparagement Agreement”) on customary, industry standard, terms reasonably acceptable to Mr. Gonsoulin, the Creditors’ Committee or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable.

On the Effective Date, Mr. Al A. Gonsoulin shall retire from his positions as Chief Executive Officer and chairman of the board of PHI. Mr. Gonsoulin shall respond to reasonable inquiries and provide assistance as requested by the New Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Reorganized Debtors and shall have no other responsibilities. Through December 31, 2019: (i) Mr. Gonsoulin may continue to utilize his current office located in Sugar Land, Texas, and may continue to use his existing assistant, provided, however, that any use of such office and such assistant must be consistent with this Plan and the Non-Solicit and Non-Disparagement Agreement; and (ii) the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall continue to pay the costs for maintaining the current company-provided medical insurance for Mr. Gonsoulin and his spouse. No payments or distributions shall be made to Mr. Gonsoulin or any other party by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors in connection with Mr. Gonsoulin’s retirement.

P.	Directors and Officers Insurance Policies

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Debtors’ D&O Liability Insurance Policies under section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code effective as of the Effective Date. Entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Reorganized Debtors’ foregoing assumption of the unexpired D&O Liability Insurance Policies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, Confirmation of the Plan shall not discharge, impair, or otherwise modify any indemnity obligations assumed by the foregoing assumption of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies, and each such indemnity obligation will be deemed and treated as an Executory Contract that has been assumed by the Debtors under the Plan as to which no Proof of Claim need be Filed.

In addition, after the Effective Date, none of the Reorganized Debtors shall terminate or otherwise reduce the coverage under any D&O Liability Insurance Policies (including any “tail policy”) in effect on the Petition Date, with respect to conduct occurring prior thereto, and all directors and officers of the Debtors who served in such capacity on or at any time prior to the Effective Date shall be entitled to the full benefits of any such policy for the full term of such policy regardless of whether such directors and officers remain in such positions after the Effective Date.

Q.	Chubb Insurance Agreements

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, any Plan Supplement, the Confirmation Order, any bar date notice or claim objection, and any other document related to any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, any provision that purports to be preemptory or supervening, grants an injunction or release or requires any party to opt out of any releases): (a) on the Effective Date, (i) the Reorganized Debtors shall assume all of the Insurance Policies previously issued by ACE American Insurance Company, Westchester Fire Insurance Company, Westchester Surplus Lines Insurance Company, Illinois Union Insurance Company, Pacific Employers Insurance Company, Federal Insurance Company, and/or their respective Affiliates (collectively, and with each of their successors, “Chubb”) to (or providing coverage to) the Debtors and all agreements and instruments related thereto (each as amended, modified or supplemented and including any exhibit or addenda thereto, collectively, the “Chubb Insurance Agreements”) and (ii) without altering the foregoing and unless specifically rejected by order of the Bankruptcy Court or under the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors may, in their discretion, assume any of the Debtors’ other Insurance Policies, in their entirety pursuant to sections 105 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code; (b) all Chubb Insurance Agreements (including any and all letters of credit and other collateral and security provided in relation thereto) and all debts, obligations, and liabilities of Debtors (and, after the Effective Date, of the Reorganized Debtors) thereunder, whether arising before or after the Effective Date, shall survive and shall not be amended, modified, waived, released, discharged or impaired in any respect and shall remain in full force and effect and subject to applicable non-bankruptcy law; (c) nothing shall alter, modify, amend, affect, impair or prejudice the legal, equitable or contractual rights, obligations, and defenses of Chubb, the Debtors (or, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors), or any other individual or entity, as applicable, under any Chubb Insurance Agreements; any such rights and obligations shall be determined under the Chubb Insurance Agreements and applicable non-bankruptcy law as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not occurred; (d) nothing alters or modifies the duty, if any, that Chubb has to pay claims covered by the Chubb Insurance Agreements and Chubb’s right to seek payment or reimbursement from the Debtors (or after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors) or draw on any collateral or security therefor; (e) the claims of Chubb arising (whether before or after the Effective Date) under the Chubb Insurance Agreements (i) are actual and necessary expenses of the Debtors’ estates (or the

Reorganized Debtors, as applicable), (ii) shall be paid in full in the ordinary course of businesses, whether as an Allowed Administrative Claim under section 503(b)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, regardless of when such amounts are or shall become liquidated, due or paid, and (iii) shall not be discharged or released by the Plan or the Confirmation Order or any other order of the Bankruptcy Court; (f) Chubb shall not need to or be required to file or serve any objection to a proposed cure amount or a request, application, claim, proof or motion for payment or allowance of any Administrative Claim and shall not be subject to any bar date or similar deadline governing cure amounts or Administrative Claims in connection with the Chubb Insurance Agreements; and (g) the automatic stay of Bankruptcy Code section 362(a) and the injunctions set forth in Article IX of this Plan, if and to the extent applicable, shall be deemed lifted without further order of this Court, solely to permit: (I) claimants with valid workers’ compensation claims or direct action claims against an insurer under applicable non-bankruptcy law to proceed with their claims; (II) Chubb to administer, handle, defend, settle, and/or pay, in the ordinary course of business and without further order of this Bankruptcy Court, (A) workers’ compensation claims under the Chubb Insurance Agreements, (B) claims where a claimant asserts a direct claim against Chubb under applicable non-bankruptcy law, or an order has been entered by this Court granting a claimant relief from the automatic stay to proceed with its claim, and (C) all costs in relation to each of the foregoing; (III) Chubb to draw against any or all of the collateral or security provided by or on behalf of the Debtors (or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable) at any time and to hold the proceeds thereof as security for the obligations of the Debtors (and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable) and/or apply such proceeds to the obligations of the Debtors (and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable) under the applicable Chubb Insurance Agreements, in such order as Chubb may determine; and (IV) Chubb to cancel any of the Chubb Insurance Agreements, and take other actions relating thereto, to the extent permissible under applicable non-bankruptcy law, and in accordance with the terms of the Chubb Insurance Agreements.

R.	Other Insurance Policies

On the Effective Date, each of the Debtors’ Insurance Policies in existence as of the Effective Date shall be Reinstated and continued in accordance with their terms and, to the extent applicable, shall be deemed assumed by the applicable Reorganized Debtor under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and Article V of this Plan. Nothing in the Plan shall affect, impair, or prejudice the rights of the insurance carriers, the insureds, or the Reorganized Debtors under the Insurance Policies in any manner, and such insurance carriers, the insureds, and Reorganized Debtors shall retain all rights and defenses under such Insurance Policies. The Insurance Policies shall apply to and be enforceable by and against the insureds and the Reorganized Debtors in the same manner and according to the same terms and practices applicable to the Debtors, as existed prior to the Effective Date.

S.	Preservation of Rights of Action

In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code but subject to the releases set forth in Article IX of this Plan, all Causes of Action that a Debtor may hold against any Entity shall vest in the applicable Reorganized Debtor on the Effective Date. Thereafter, the Reorganized Debtors shall have the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to determine, initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any such Causes of Action, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, 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. Subject to the releases set forth in Article IX of this Plan, no Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure Statement to any specific Cause of Action as any indication that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action. The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, 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 any Cause of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or the occurrence of the Effective Date.

T.	Corporate Action

Upon the Effective Date, all actions contemplated by the Plan shall be deemed authorized, approved, and, to the extent taken prior to the Effective Date, ratified without any requirement for further action by Holders of Claims or Equity Interests, directors, managers, or officers of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any other Entity, including: (1) assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; (2) selection of the directors, managers, and officers for the Reorganized Debtors; (3) the execution of and entry into the New Secured Financing Documents and the New Equity Documents; (4) the issuance and distribution of the New Common Stock and the New Warrants as provided herein; (5) to the extent the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation remains in full force and effect, the issuance and distribution of the Old Equity Settlement Warrants as provided herein and (6) all other acts or actions contemplated or reasonably necessary or appropriate to promptly consummate the transactions contemplated by the Plan (whether to occur before, on, or after the Effective Date). All matters provided for in the Plan involving the company structure of the Reorganized Debtors and any company action required by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, in connection therewith shall be deemed to have occurred on and shall be in effect as of the Effective Date without any requirement of further action by the security holders, directors, managers, authorized persons, or officers of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable.

On or prior to the Effective Date, the appropriate officers, directors, managers, or authorized persons of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable (including any president, vice-president, chief executive officer, treasurer, general counsel, or chief financial officer thereof), shall be authorized and directed to issue, execute, and deliver the agreements, documents, securities, certificates of incorporation, certificates of formation, bylaws, operating agreements, and instruments contemplated by the Plan (or necessary or desirable to effect the transactions contemplated by the Plan) in the name of and on behalf of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, including (1) the New Secured Financing Documents and the New Equity Documents, (2) the Old Equity Settlement Warrants (provided that the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation remains in full force and effect), and (3) any and all other agreements, documents, securities, and instruments relating to the foregoing. The authorizations and approvals contemplated by the Plan shall be effective notwithstanding any requirements under non-bankruptcy law.

U.	Effectuating Documents; Further Transactions

Prior to, on, and after the Effective Date, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors and the directors, managers, officers, authorized persons, and members of the boards of directors or managers and directors thereof, 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 provisions of the Plan, the New Secured Financing Documents and the New Equity Documents, and any securities issued under the Plan in the name of and on behalf of the Reorganized Debtors, without the need for any approvals, authorizations, actions, or consents except for those expressly required under the Plan. All counterparties to any documents described in this paragraph are authorized to and may execute any such documents as may be required or provided by such documents without further order of the Court.

V.	Workers’ Compensation Programs

As of the Effective Date, except as set forth in the Plan Supplement, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall continue to honor their obligations under (1) all applicable workers’ compensation laws in states in which the Reorganized Debtors operate and (2) the Debtors’ written contracts, agreements, agreements of indemnity, self-insured workers’ compensation bonds, policies, programs, and plans, in each case, for workers’ compensation and workers’ compensation insurance. Any and all Proofs of Claims on account of workers’ compensation shall be deemed withdrawn automatically and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court; provided that nothing in the Plan shall limit, diminish, or otherwise alter the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ defenses, Causes of Action, or other rights under applicable non-bankruptcy law with respect to any such contracts, agreements, policies, programs, and plans; provided, further, that nothing herein shall be deemed to impose any obligations on the Debtors in addition to what is provided for under applicable state law.

ARTICLE V.

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

A.	Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

Subject to the consent of the Creditors’ Committee (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), on the Effective Date, all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases of the Debtors will be assumed by the Debtors in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, except for those Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that:

(i) have already been assumed or rejected by the Debtors by prior order of the Bankruptcy Court, including but not limited to the Modified Aircraft Leases;

(ii) are the subject of a separate assumption motion or motion to reject Filed by the Debtors pending on the Effective Date;

(iii) are the subject of a pending objection regarding assumption, cure, or “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code);

(iv) are rejected or terminated by the Debtors with the consent of the Creditors’ Committee (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) pursuant to the terms of this Plan.

Without amending or altering any prior order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the assumption or rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of such assumptions or rejections pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code.

To the extent any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to this Plan or any prior order of the Bankruptcy Court (including, without limitation, any “change of control” provision) prohibits, restricts or conditions, or purports to prohibit, restrict or condition, or is modified, breached or terminated, or deemed modified, breached or terminated by, (i) the commencement of these Chapter 11 Cases or the insolvency or financial condition of any Debtor at any time before the closing of its respective Chapter 11 Case, (ii) any Debtor’s or any Reorganized Debtor’s assumption or assumption and assignment (as applicable) of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or (iii) the Confirmation or Consummation of this Plan, then such provision shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by this Plan shall not entitle the non-debtor party thereto to modify or terminate such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to exercise any other default-related rights or remedies with respect thereto, and any required consent under any such contract or lease shall be deemed satisfied by the Confirmation of the Plan.

Each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to this Plan shall revest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor or the applicable assignee in accordance with its terms and conditions, except as modified by the provisions of this Plan, any order of the Bankruptcy Court approving its assumption and/or assignment, or applicable law.

The inclusion or exclusion of a contract or lease on any schedule or exhibit shall not constitute an admission by any Debtor that such contract or lease is an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Debtor has any liability thereunder.

B.	Cure of Defaults; Assignment of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

Any defaults under each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed, or assumed and assigned, pursuant to this Plan shall be satisfied, pursuant to and to the extent required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the applicable default amount in Cash on the Effective Date or on such other terms as the Bankruptcy Court may order or the parties to such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases may otherwise agree in writing (the “Cure Claim Amount”).

The Debtors shall File, as part of the Plan Supplement, a schedule of assumed contracts and a list of each applicable Cure Claim Amount.

Any objection by a counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to a Cure Claim Amount must be Filed, served and actually received by the Debtors on or prior to the later of (i) the Claims Objection Deadline or (ii) seven (7) days after the Filing and service of a Plan Supplement that first identifies such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed Cure Claim Amount will be deemed to have consented to such matters and will be deemed to have forever released and waived any objection to such Cure Claim Amount. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving each proposed assumption, or proposed assumption and assignment, of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date.

In the event of a dispute regarding (a) the amount of any Cure Claim Amount, (b) the ability of any Debtor or assignee 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 assumed and assigned or (c) any other matter pertaining to assumption or assignment, the applicable payment of the Cure Claim Amount required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving such assumption, or assumption and assignment. If such objection is sustained by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors may reject such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease in lieu of assuming it. The Debtors (with the consent of the Creditors’ Committee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall be authorized to effect such rejection by filing a written notice of rejection with the Bankruptcy Court and serving such notice on the applicable counterparty within thirty (30) days of the entry of such Final Order.

Subject to any cure claims Filed with respect thereto, assumption or assumption and assignment of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to this Plan shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Claims or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time prior to the effective date of assumption or assumption and assignment, in each case as provided in section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. Any Proofs of Claim filed with respect to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that has been assumed or assumed and assigned by Final Order shall be deemed disallowed and expunged (subject to any cure claims Filed with respect thereto), without further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

C.	Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

The Debtors reserve the right, subject to the consent of the Creditors’ Committee (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), at any time prior to the Effective Date, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, to seek to reject any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease and to add such contract or lease to Plan Schedule V.C or to file a motion requesting authorization for the rejection of any such contract or lease. All Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases listed on Plan Schedule V.C shall be deemed rejected as of the Effective Date. Rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to this Plan or otherwise shall not constitute a termination of any preexisting obligations owed to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, under any such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases.

D.	Claims on Account of the Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases

All Proofs of Claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, pursuant to this Plan or the Confirmation Order, if any, must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court within thirty (30) days after service of an order of the Bankruptcy Court (including the Confirmation Order) approving such rejection.

Any Entity that is required to file a Proof of Claim arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract or an Unexpired Lease that fails to timely do so shall be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from asserting such Claim, and such Claim shall not be enforceable, against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Estates, and the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and their Estates and their respective assets and property shall be forever discharged from any and all indebtedness and liability with respect to such Claim unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court or as otherwise provided herein. All such Claims shall, as of the Effective Date, be subject to the permanent injunction set forth in Article IX.G hereof.

E.	Extension of Time to Reject

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Article V of this Plan, in the event of a dispute as to whether a contract is executory or a lease is unexpired, the right of the Reorganized Debtors to move to reject such contract or lease shall be extended until the date that is thirty (30) days after entry of a Final Order by the Bankruptcy Court determining that the contract is executory or the lease is unexpired.

F.	Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements, or Other Agreements

Unless otherwise provided in this Plan, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors pursuant to this Plan shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and all rights related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing has been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated hereunder. Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.

G.	Indemnification and Reimbursement Obligations

Except to the extent any such rights were released under the Settlement Stipulation, on and as of the Effective Date, any indemnification provisions will be assumed and irrevocable and will survive the effectiveness of the Plan, and the Reorganized Debtors’ governance documents will provide for the indemnification, defense, reimbursement, exculpation, and/or limitation of liability of and advancement of fees and expenses to the Debtors’ and the Reorganized Debtors’ current and former directors, officers, employees, and agents to the fullest extent permitted by law and at least to the same extent as the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or similar organizational documents of each of the respective Debtors as of the Petition Date, against any claims or Causes of Action whether direct or derivative, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed, or contingent, disputed or undisputed, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, asserted or unasserted. None of the Reorganized Debtors shall amend and/or restate its certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or similar organizational document before or after the Effective Date to terminate or materially adversely affect (1) any of the Reorganized Debtors’ obligations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence or (2) the rights of such managers, directors, officers, employees, or agents referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Reorganized Debtors shall not be required to indemnify the Debtors’ managers, directors, officers, or employees for any claims or Causes of Action for which indemnification is barred under applicable law, the Debtors’ organizational documents, or applicable agreements governing the Debtors’ indemnification obligations.

H.	Employee Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and Benefits Programs

Subject to the provisions of the Plan (including Article V.A, the limitation on severance contemplated by Article IV.G, and the terms of the Settlement Stipulation and Article IV.C(ii) herein), all Compensation and Benefits Programs shall be treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan and deemed assumed on the Effective Date under the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code including, without limitation, the Debtors’ Key Employee Incentive Plan, as approved by the Bankruptcy Court on June 6, 2019 [Docket No. 620] (which such Plan contains provisions providing KEIP Participants with payments following the Effective Date), and the Debtors’ 2019 annual incentive plan, as approved by the Debtors’ Compensation Committee on February 20, 2019, as such plan relates to all Debtors’ employees other than KEIP Participants; provided, however, that all provisions relating to equity-based awards, including any termination-related provisions with respect to equity based awards, will be replaced and superseded in their entirety by the terms of the Management Incentive Plan. The Reorganized Debtors shall honor, in the ordinary course of business, Claims of employees employed as of the Effective Date for accrued vacation time arising prior to the Petition Date and not otherwise paid under a Bankruptcy Court order.

None of the Consummation of this Plan, the Restructuring Transactions, or any assumption of Compensation and Benefits Programs under the terms herein shall be deemed to trigger any applicable change of control, immediate vesting, termination, or similar provisions therein. No counterparty shall have rights under a Compensation and Benefits Program assumed under the Plan other than those applicable immediately prior to such assumption.

Collective Bargaining Agreement and Green Book

As of the Effective Date, a Reorganized Debtor entity specifically designated in the Confirmation Order shall unilaterally continue to honor the expired Collective Bargaining Agreement’s set of rules, rates of pay, and working condition requirements, plus the changes unilaterally made by PHI since the parties were released to self-help (the expired Collective Bargaining Agreement, plus the changes made by PHI since the parties were released to self-help are referred to collectively as the “Green Book”), subject to any rights and duties provided under applicable law, in the same manner as the Debtors honored the Green Book as of the Petition Date; provided, however, that nothing in this Plan shall be deemed an admission that the Green Book is an Executory Contract under the Plan; and that the Reorganized Debtor entity may continue to make unilateral changes to the Green Book as appropriate under self-help.

I.	Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements, or Other Agreements

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases related thereto, if any, including easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been previously rejected or repudiated.

Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.

J.	Reservation of Rights

Nothing contained in the Plan or the Plan Supplement shall constitute an admission by the Debtors or any other party that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any 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 Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have thirty (30) calendar days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease, including by rejecting such contract or lease nunc pro tunc to the Confirmation Date.

K.	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 under section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such deadline(s) have expired.

ARTICLE VI.

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

A.	Timing and Calculation of Amounts to Be Distributed

Except as otherwise provided in the “Treatment” sections in Article III hereof or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, initial distributions to be made on account of Claims that are Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date or the Existing PHI Interests shall be made on the Initial Distribution Date or as soon thereafter as is practicable. Any payment or distribution required to be made under this Plan on a day other

than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Distributions on account of Disputed Claims that first become Allowed Claims after the Effective Date shall be made under Article VII hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all distributions to the Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims shall be subject to the right of the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee to assert its charging lien.

B.	Delivery of Distributions

Delivery of Distributions by the Distribution Agent

Other than as specifically set forth below, the Distribution Agent shall make all distributions required to be distributed under this Plan. The Distribution Agent may employ or contract with other entities to assist in or make the distributions required by this Plan and may pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such entities and the Distribution Agents in the ordinary course of business. No Distribution Agent shall be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

From and after the Effective Date, any Distribution Agent, solely in its capacity as Distribution Agent, shall be exculpated by all Persons and Entities, including, without limitation, Holders of Claims and Equity Interests and other parties in interest, from any and all claims, Causes of Action, and other assertions of liability arising out of the discharge of the powers and duties conferred upon such Distribution Agent by the Plan or any order of the Bankruptcy Court entered under or in furtherance of the Plan, or applicable law, except for actions or omissions to act arising out of the Distribution Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, malpractice, criminal conduct, or ultra vires acts. No Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest or other party in interest shall have or pursue any claim or Cause of Action against a Distribution Agent, solely in its capacity as Distribution Agent, for making payments in accordance with the Plan or for implementing provisions of the Plan, except for actions or omissions to act arising out of such Distribution Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, malpractice, criminal conduct, or ultra vires acts.

Minimum Distributions

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agents shall not be required to make distributions or payments of less than $100 (whether Cash or otherwise) and shall not be required to make partial distributions or payments of fractions of dollars. Whenever any payment or distribution of a fraction of a dollar or fractional share of New Common Stock or the Old Equity Settlement Warrants under the Plan would otherwise be called for, the actual payment or distribution will reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar or share of New Common Stock or the Old Equity Settlement Warrants (up or down), with half dollars and half shares of New Common Stock or the Old Equity Settlement Warrants or less being rounded down. The total number of authorized shares of New Common Stock, as applicable, shall be adjusted as necessary to account for the foregoing rounding.

Distribution Record Date

At the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the Claims Register shall be closed. Accordingly, neither the Debtors nor Distribution Agent will have any obligation to recognize the assignment, transfer or other disposition of, or the sale of any participation in, any Allowed Claim or Existing PHI Interest that occurs after the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, and will be entitled for all purposes herein to recognize and distribute securities, property, notices and other documents only to those Holders of Allowed Claims or Existing PHI Interests who are Holders of such Claims or Interests, or participants therein, as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. The Distribution Agent shall be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes under this Plan with only those record holders stated on the Claims Register, or their books and records, as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, the Distribution Record Date shall not apply to publicly held securities if distributions to such securities will be effectuated through the Depository Trust Company.

Delivery of Distributions in General

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Debtors or the Distribution Agent, as applicable, shall make distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims or Interests (to the extent set forth in the Plan), or in care of their authorized agents or designated affiliates as designated before the Effective Date, as appropriate, at the address for each such Holder or agent as indicated on the Debtors’ or other applicable Distribution Agent’s books and records as of the date of any such distribution; provided, that the address for each Holder of an Allowed Claim shall be deemed to be the address set forth in the latest Proof of Claim Filed by such Holder under Bankruptcy Rule 3001 as of the Distribution Record Date unless otherwise specified by such Holder.

Undeliverable Distributions

If any distribution to a Holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest made in accordance herewith is returned to the Reorganized Debtors (or their Distribution Agent) as undeliverable, no further distributions shall be made to such Holder unless and until the Distribution Agent is notified in writing of such Holder’s then-current address or other necessary information for delivery, at which time such undelivered distribution shall be made to such Holder within ninety (90) days of receipt of such Holder’s then-current address or other necessary information; provided, however, that any such undelivered distribution shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code at the expiration of six (6) months from the later of (a) the Effective Date and (b) the date of the initial attempted distribution. After such date, all unclaimed property or interests in property shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors automatically and without need for a further order by the Bankruptcy Court (notwithstanding any applicable non-bankruptcy escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws to the contrary), and the right, title, and interest of any Holder to such property or interest in property shall be discharged and forever barred.

C.	Manner of Payment

At the option of the Distribution Agent, any Cash payment to be made under the Plan may be made by check or wire transfer or as otherwise required or provided in applicable agreements.

D.	No Postpetition or Default Interest on Claims

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or the Confirmation Order and notwithstanding any documents that govern the Debtors’ prepetition indebtedness to the contrary, (1) postpetition and/or default interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims, and (2) no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to (a) interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any such Claim or (b) interest at the contract default rate, each as applicable.

E.	Setoffs and Recoupments

Each Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, or such Entity’s designee, may, under section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable nonbankruptcy law, offset or recoup against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made under this Plan on account of such Allowed Claim any and all Claims, rights, and Causes of Action that such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor or its successors may hold against the Holder of such Allowed Claim; provided, however that neither the failure to effect a setoff or recoupment nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder will constitute a waiver or release by a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor or its successor of any Claims, rights, or Causes of Action that a Reorganized Debtor or its successor or assign may possess against such Holder.

F.	Rights and Powers of Distribution Agent

The Distribution Agent shall be empowered to (i) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments, and other documents necessary to perform its duties under this Plan; (ii) make all applicable distributions or payments provided for under this Plan; (iii) employ professionals to represent it with respect to its responsibilities; and (iv) exercise such other powers (A) as may be vested in the Distribution Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court (including any order issued after the Effective Date) or under this Plan or (B) as deemed by the Distribution Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions of this Plan.

To the extent the Distribution Agent is an Entity other than a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor, except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court and subject to the written agreement of the Reorganized Debtors, the amount of any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Distribution Agent on or after the Effective Date (including taxes) and any reasonable compensation and expense reimbursement Claims (including for reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees and expenses) made by the Distribution Agent shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors.

G.	Compliance with Tax Requirements

In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, Distribution Agent, and other applicable withholding and reporting agents shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions pursuant hereto shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, Distribution Agent, and other applicable withholding and reporting agents shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes, withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such distributions, or establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable and appropriate. The Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, Distribution Agent, and other applicable withholding agents reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support and other spousal awards, liens, and encumbrances. For tax purposes, distributions in full or partial satisfaction of Allowed Claims shall be allocated first to the principal amount of Allowed Claims, with any excess allocated to unpaid interest that accrued on such Claims.

Notwithstanding the above, each Holder of an Allowed Claim that is to receive a distribution under this Plan shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed on such Holder by any Governmental Unit, including income, withholding, and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution. The Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent have the right, but not the obligation, to not make a distribution until such Holder has made arrangements satisfactory to any issuing or distribution party for payment of any such tax obligations.

The Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent may require, as a condition to receipt of a distribution, that the Holder of an Allowed Claim provide any information necessary to allow the distributing party to comply with any such withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority. If the Reorganized Debtors or the Distribution Agent make such a request and the Holder fails to comply before the date that is 180 days after the request is made, the amount of such distribution shall irrevocably revert to the applicable Reorganized Debtor and any Claim in respect of such distribution shall be discharged and forever barred from assertion against such Reorganized Debtor or its respective property.

H.	Surrender of Cancelled Instruments or Securities

On the Effective Date, each Holder of a certificate or instrument evidencing a Claim or an Equity Interest shall be deemed to have surrendered such certificate or instrument to the Distribution Agent. Such surrendered certificate or instrument shall be cancelled solely with respect to the Debtors, and such cancellation shall not alter the obligations or rights of any non-Debtor third parties vis-à-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 Equity Interest, which shall continue in effect for purposes of allowing Holders to receive distributions under the Plan, charging liens, priority of payment, indemnification rights, and the other purposes as set forth in Article IV.K. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this paragraph shall not apply to certificates or instruments evidencing Allowed General Unsecured Claims (other than Unsecured Notes Claims).

I.	Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties

Claims Payable by Insurance

No distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of an Allowed Claim that is payable under one of the Debtors’ Insurance Policies until the Holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to such Insurance Policy.

Applicability of Insurance Policies

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Insurance Policy. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Cause of Action that the Debtors or any Entity may hold against any other Entity, including insurers under any policies of insurance, nor shall anything contained herein constitute or be deemed a waiver by such insurers of any defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such insurers.

ARTICLE VII.

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CONTINGENT, UNLIQUIDATED AND DISPUTED CLAIMS

A.	Allowance of Claims and Interests

After the Effective Date, each of the Reorganized Debtors shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses the applicable Debtor had with respect to any Claim or Equity Interest immediately prior to the Effective Date (unless such Claim is deemed Allowed pursuant to this Plan or the Confirmation Order). This Article VII shall not apply to the Thirty Two Claim, which Thirty Two Claim shall be Allowed in full and will not be subject to any avoidance, reductions, set off, offset, recharacterization, subordination (whether equitable, contractual, or otherwise), counterclaims, cross-claims, defenses, disallowance, impairment, objection, or any other challenges under any applicable law or regulation by any person or Entity. All settled Claims approved prior to the Effective Date by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court under Bankruptcy Rule 9019 or otherwise shall be binding on all parties.

B.	Claims Administration Responsibilities

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have the sole authority to (1) file, withdraw, or litigate to judgment, any objections to Claims or Equity Interests and (2) settle or compromise any Disputed Claim or Equity Interest without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court. For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, from and after the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses such Debtor had immediately prior to the Effective Date with respect to any Disputed Claim or Equity Interest, including the Causes of Action retained under the Plan.

C.	Prosecution of Objections to Claims and Equity Interests

Before or after the Effective Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have the authority to File objections to Claims and Equity Interests (other than Claims or Equity Interests that are Allowed under this Plan) and settle, compromise, withdraw or litigate to judgment objections to any and all such Claims or Equity Interests, regardless of whether such Claims are in an Unimpaired Class or otherwise; provided, however, this provision shall not apply to Accrued Professional Compensation Claims, which may be objected to by any party-in-interest in these Chapter 11 Cases. From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have the sole authority to administer and adjust the Claims Register and their respective books and records to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

D.	Estimation of Claims and Equity Interests

Before or after the Effective Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may (but are not required to) at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Disputed Claim or Equity Interest that is contingent or unliquidated under section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim or Equity Interest or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any such Claim or Equity Interest, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or Equity Interest or during the appeal relating to such objection. Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan, a Claim that has been expunged but that either is subject to appeal or has not been the subject of

a Final Order shall be deemed to be estimated at zero ($0.00) dollars unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim or Equity Interest, that estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim or Equity Interest for all purposes under the Plan (including for purposes of distributions), and the relevant Reorganized Debtor may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such Claim or Equity Interest.

E.	Deadline to File Objections to Claims

Any objections to Claims shall be Filed by no later than the Claims Objection Deadline; provided that nothing contained herein shall limit the Reorganized Debtor’s right to object to Claims, if any, Filed or amended after the Claims Objection Deadline. Moreover, notwithstanding the expiration of the Claims Objection Deadline, the Reorganized Debtors shall continue to have the right to amend any claims or other objections and to File and prosecute supplemental objections and counterclaims to a Disputed Claim until such Disputed Claim is or becomes Allowed by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court.

F.	Adjustment to Claims Without Objection

Any duplicate Claim or Equity Interest or any Claim or Equity Interest that has been paid, satisfied, amended, or superseded may be adjusted or expunged by the Reorganized Debtors without the Reorganized Debtors having to file an application, motion, complaint, objection, or any other legal proceeding seeking to object to such Claim or Equity Interest, and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

G.	Disallowance of Certain Claims

Any Claims held by Entities from which property is recoverable under section 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that is a transferee of a transfer avoidable under section 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed disallowed under section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code unless expressly Allowed under the Plan, and Holders of such Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such Claims and Equity Interests until such time as such Causes of Action against that Entity have been settled or a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court with respect thereto has been entered and all sums due, if any, to the Debtors by that Entity have been turned over or paid to the Reorganized Debtors.

H.	No Distributions Pending Allowance

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any portion of a Claim or Equity Interest is a Disputed Claim or Equity Interest, as applicable, no payment or distribution provided hereunder shall be made on account of such Claim or Equity Interest unless and until such Disputed Claim or Equity Interest becomes an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest.

I.	Distributions After Allowance

To the extent that a Disputed Claim or Equity Interest ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest, distributions (if any) shall be made to the Holder of such Allowed Claim or Equity Interest in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing any Disputed Claim or Equity Interest becomes a Final Order, the Distribution Agent shall provide to the Holder of such Claim or Equity Interest the distribution (if any) to which such Holder is entitled under the Plan as of the Effective Date, without any interest to be paid on account of such Claim or Equity Interest.

J.	No Interest

Interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Disputed Claim with respect to the period from the Effective Date to the date a final distribution is made on account of such Disputed Claim if and when such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

Under section 1123(b) and any other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan, the Settlement Stipulation and the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation, effective as of the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration provided by each of the Released Parties, the adequacy and sufficiency of which is hereby confirmed, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, in their respective individual capacities and as debtors in possession, and on behalf of themselves and their respective Estates, including, without limitation, any successor to the Debtors or any Estate representative appointed or selected under section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code (collectively, the “Debtor Releasing Parties”) and their respective assets and properties will be deemed to have conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever provided a full discharge, waiver and release to each of the Released Parties (and each such Released Party so released shall be deemed forever released, waived and discharged by the Debtor Releasing Parties) (the “Debtor Release”) from any and all Claims, Causes of Action and any other debts, obligations, rights, suits, damages, actions, remedies, and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, whether directly or derivatively held, existing as of the Effective Date or thereafter arising, in law, at equity or otherwise, whether for tort, contract, violations of federal or state securities laws, or otherwise, based in whole or in part upon any act or omission, transaction, or other occurrence or circumstances existing or taking place prior to or on the Effective Date arising from or related in any way in whole or in part to any of (i) the Debtors, the Chapter 11 Cases, the marketing of any of the Debtors’ assets, the Disclosure Statement, the Settlement Stipulation, the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation, this Plan and the Restructuring Documents, (ii) the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Equity Interest that is treated in this Plan, (iii) the business or contractual arrangements between any Debtor and any Released Parties, (iv) the negotiation, formulation or preparation of this Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Settlement Stipulation, the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation, the Restructuring Documents, or related agreements, instruments or other documents, (v) the restructuring of Claims or Equity Interests prior to or during the Chapter 11 Cases, (vi) the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any Claim or Equity Interest of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, and/or (vii) the Confirmation or Consummation of this Plan or the solicitation of votes on this Plan that such Debtor Releasing Party would have been legally entitled to assert (whether individually or collectively) or that any Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest or other Entity would have been legally entitled to assert for, or on behalf or in the name of, any Debtor, its respective Estate or any Reorganized Debtor (whether directly or derivatively) against any of the Released Parties; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Debtor

Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Third Party Release, which includes by reference each of the related provisions and definitions contained herein, and further, shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s finding that the Third Party Release is: (i) in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Released Parties; (ii) a good faith settlement and compromise of the Claims released by the Third Party Release; (iii) in the best interest of the Debtors and all Holders of Claims and Equity Interests; (iv) fair, equitable and reasonable; and (v) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing.

C.	Waiver of Statutory Limitations on Releases

Each of the Releasing Parties in each of the releases contained above expressly acknowledges that although ordinarily a general release may not extend to Claims which the Releasing Party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor, which if known by it may have materially affected its settlement with the party released, they have carefully considered and taken into account in determining to enter into the above

releases the possible existence of such unknown losses or claims. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Releasing Party expressly waives any and all rights conferred upon it by any statute or rule of law which provides that a release does not extend to claims which the claimant does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of providing the release, which if known by it may have materially affected its settlement with the Released Party. The releases contained in this Plan are effective regardless of whether those released matters are presently known, unknown, suspected or unsuspected, foreseen or unforeseen.

D.	Discharge of Claims and Equity Interests

To the fullest extent provided under section 1141(d)(1)(A) and other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise expressly provided by this Plan or the Confirmation Order, effective as of the Effective Date, all consideration distributed under this Plan shall be in exchange for, and in complete satisfaction, settlement, discharge, and release of, all Claims, Equity Interests and Causes of Action of any kind or nature whatsoever against the Debtors or any of their respective assets or properties, including any interest accrued on such Claims or Equity Interests from and after the Petition Date, and regardless of whether any property shall have been abandoned by order of the Bankruptcy Court, distributed or retained under this Plan on account of such Claims, Equity Interests or Causes of Action.

Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Plan or the Confirmation Order, upon the Effective Date, the Debtors and their Estates shall be deemed discharged and released under and to the fullest extent provided under sections 524 and 1141(d)(1)(A) and other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code from any and all Claims of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, but not limited to, demands and liabilities that arose before the Confirmation Date, and all debts of the kind specified in sections 502(g), 502(h), or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code. Such discharge shall void any judgment obtained against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors at any time, to the extent that such judgment relates to a discharged Claim.

E.	Exculpation

Effective as of the Effective Date, the Exculpated Parties shall neither have nor incur any liability to any Entity for any claims or Causes of Action arising prior to or on the Effective Date for any act taken or omitted to be taken in connection with, or related to, formulating, negotiating, preparing, disseminating, implementing, administering, confirming or effecting the Confirmation or Consummation of this Plan, the Disclosure Statement, Settlement Stipulation, the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation, the Restructuring Documents or any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document created or entered into in connection with this Plan or any other postpetition act taken or omitted to be taken in connection with the restructuring of the Debtors, the approval of the Settlement Stipulation, the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation, the Disclosure Statement or Confirmation or Consummation of this Plan; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this exculpation shall not operate to waive, release or otherwise impair: (i) any Causes of Action expressly set forth in and preserved by this Plan or the Plan Supplement; (ii) any Causes of Action arising from willful misconduct, actual fraud, or gross negligence of such applicable Exculpated Party as determined by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction; (iii) any of the indebtedness or obligations of the Debtors and/or the Reorganized Debtors incurred under this Plan and the contracts, instruments, releases, indentures, and other agreements and documents delivered under or in connection with the Plan or assumed under this Plan or assumed under Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (iv) the rights of any Entity to enforce this Plan and the contracts, instruments, releases, indentures, and other agreements or documents delivered under or in connection with this Plan or assumed under this Plan or assumed under Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court; and/or (v) any objections with respect to any Retained Professional’s final fee application or Accrued Professional Compensation Claims in these Chapter 11 Cases; provided, further, that each Exculpated Party shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of counsel concerning its respective duties under, or in connection with, the above-referenced documents, actions or inactions.

The foregoing exculpation shall be effective as of the Effective Date without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or the vote, consent, authorization or approval of any Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Article IX.E shall or shall be deemed to prohibit the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors from asserting and enforcing any claims, obligations, suits, judgments, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action or liabilities they may have against any Person that is based upon an alleged breach of a confidentiality or non-compete obligation owed to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, in each case unless otherwise expressly provided for in this Plan.

F.	Preservation of Causes of Action

Maintenance of Causes of Action

Except as otherwise provided in this Article IX or elsewhere in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall retain all rights to commence, pursue, litigate or settle, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action, whether existing as of the Petition Date or thereafter arising, in any court or other tribunal including, without limitation, in an adversary proceeding Filed in the Chapter 11 Cases; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to include any claims or Causes of Action (i) released under Article IX.B.1 hereof or (ii) exculpated under Article IX.E hereof to the extent of any such exculpation. The Reorganized Debtors, as the successors-in-interest to the Debtors and the Estates, may, and shall have the exclusive right to, enforce, sue on, settle, compromise, transfer or assign (or decline to do any of the foregoing) any or all of such Causes of Action, in each case solely to the extent of the Debtors’ or their Estates’ interest therein, without notice to or approval from the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reorganized Debtors shall retain all claims and defenses to any Allowed Claims that are Reinstated or Unimpaired pursuant to the Plan. A further description of the retained causes of action shall be filed with the Plan Supplement.

Preservation of All Causes of Action Not Expressly Settled or Released

The Debtors expressly reserve all Causes of Action for later adjudication by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (including, without limitation, Causes of Action not specifically identified or of which the Debtors may presently be unaware or which may arise or exist by reason of additional facts or circumstances unknown to the Debtors at this time or facts or circumstances that may change or be different from those the Debtors now believe to exist) and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including, without limitation, the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, waiver, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise) or laches shall apply to such Causes of Action upon or after the Confirmation or Consummation of this Plan based on the Disclosure Statement, this Plan or the Confirmation Order, except in each case where such Causes of Action have been expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised or settled in this Plan, the Confirmation Order or any other Final Order, including, without limitation or any other claims or Causes of Action (i) released under Article IX.B.1 hereof or (ii) exculpated under Article IX.E hereof to the extent of any such exculpation. In addition, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve the right to pursue or adopt any claims alleged in any lawsuit in which any of the Debtors are a plaintiff, defendant or an interested party, against any Entity, including, without limitation, the plaintiffs or co-defendants in such lawsuits.

J.	Integral Part of Plan

Each of the provisions set forth in this Plan with respect to the settlement, release, discharge, exculpation, and injunction of, for or with respect to Claims and/or Causes of Action are an integral part of this Plan and essential to its implementation.

The Debtors (or the Reorganized Debtors) retain the right to waive their own privileges. The Distribution Agent shall have no right to any privileged information or analysis of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors.

Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of this Plan will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated by such holding, alteration, or interpretation. The Confirmation Order will constitute a judicial determination and will provide that each term and provision of this Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is valid and enforceable under its terms.
