1

WHEREAS, on March 14, 2006 (the “Petition Date”), TeleVideo, Inc., debtor and debtor in possession in this case (the “Debtor”), filed its voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”);

“Voting Certification”) and evidenced by the affidavits of mailing and publication on the docket of this case;

WHEREAS, more than one (1) impaired class of claims has accepted the Plan, as set forth in the Voting Certification;

WHEREAS, pursuant to section 1128(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Court commenced the confirmation hearing (the “Confirmation Hearing”) on July 12, 2006;

NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the Bankruptcy Court’s review of the Voting Certification; and upon (a) all the evidence proffered or adduced at, memoranda and Objections filed in connection with, and arguments of counsel made at, the Confirmation Hearing; (b) the record presented at the Confirmation Hearing and the entire record of this Chapter 11 case; and after due deliberation thereon and good cause appearing therefore, the Court makes the following:

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW2

IT IS HEREBY FOUND AND DETERMINED THAT:

A.     Exclusive Jurisdiction; Venue; Core Proceeding (28 U.S.C. § § 157(b)(2), 1334(a)).   This Bankruptcy Court has jurisdiction over this case pursuant to sections 157 and 1334 of title 28 of the United States Code. Venue is proper pursuant to sections 1408 and 1409 of title 28 of the United States Code. Confirmation of the Plan is a core proceeding pursuant to section 157(b)(2)(L) of title 28 of the United States Code, and this Bankruptcy Court has exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether the Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and should be confirmed.


2                      Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 7052, findings of fact shall be construed as conclusions of law and conclusions of law shall be construed as findings of fact when appropriate.

 

2




B.     Judicial Notice.   This Bankruptcy Court takes judicial notice of the docket of this case maintained by the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court and/or its duly-appointed agent, including, with limitation, all pleadings and other documents filed, all Orders entered, and evidence and argument made, proffered, or adduced at the hearings held before the Bankruptcy Court during the pendency of this Chapter 11 case, including, but not limited to, the hearing to consider the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement.

C.     Burden of Proof.   The Debtor has satisfied the burden of proving the elements of section 1129(a) and (b) of the Bankruptcy Code by a preponderance of evidence, which is the applicable evidentiary standard in this Bankruptcy Court for Confirmation of the Plan.

D.     Transmittal and Mailing of Materials; Notice.   In accordance with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules, including, but not limited to, Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 3017 and 3020, due notice of the Confirmation Hearing and the opportunity to object to confirmation of the Plan was provided to the Debtor’s Creditors, Equity Interest Holders and other parties-in-interest. The Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the Ballots, the Solicitation Order and the Confirmation Hearing Notice, transmitted and served as set forth in the Voting Certification and associated declarations and affidavits, shall be deemed to have been transmitted and served in compliance with the Solicitation Order and the Bankruptcy Rules. Such transmittal and service were adequate and sufficient, publication of the Confirmation Hearing Notice was adequate and sufficient and no other or further notice is or shall be required.

E.      Voting.   Votes to accept and reject the Plan have been solicited and tabulated fairly, in good faith, and in a manner consistent with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Solicitation Order, all other applicable rules, laws and regulations and industry practice.

3




F.      Plan Compliance with Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §1129(a)(1)).   The Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(1)      Proper Classification (11 U.S.C. § §1122, 1123(a)(1)).   In addition to Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims, which do not need to be designated, the Plan designates six (6) Classes of Claims and Equity Interests. The Claims and Equity Interests placed in each Class are substantially similar to other Claims and Equity Interests, as the case may be, in each such Class. Valid business, factual and legal reasons exist for separately classifying the various Classes of Claims and Equity Interests created under the Plan, and such Classes do not unfairly discriminate between holders of Claims and Equity Interests. The Plan satisfies section 1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(2)      Specified Unimpaired Classes (11 U.S.C. §1123(a)(2)).   Article III of the Plan properly classifies those Classes that are Unimpaired under the Plan, thereby satisfying section 1123(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(3)      Specified Treatment of Impaired Classes (11 U.S.C. §1123(a)(3)).   The Plan identifies and properly classifies those Classes that are Impaired under the Plan, thereby satisfying section 1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(4)      No Discrimination (11 U.S.C. §1123(a)(4)).   The Plan provides for the same treatment by the Debtor for each Claim or Equity Interest in each respective Class unless the Holder of a particular Claim or Equity Interest has agreed to a less favorable treatment of such Claim or Equity Interest, thereby satisfying section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

4




(5)      Implementation of Plan (11 U.S.C. §1123(a)(5)).   The Plan and the Confirmation Order provide adequate and proper means for the Plan’s implementation, thereby satisfying section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(6)      Prohibition Against Non-Voting Securities (11 U.S.C. §1123(a)(6)).   Upon the Effective Date of the Plan, all Equity Interests in the Debtor, including any securities possessing voting power will be extinguished, and no new non-voting securities of the Debtor will be issued. Thus, the Plan complies with section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(7)      Designation of Officers, Directors or Trustees (11 U.S.C. §1123(a)(7)).   On June 21, 2006, the Debtor filed its Amended Disclosure of Post-Confirmation Officers and Directors Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(5). Thus, to the extent applicable, the Plan complies with section 1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.

G.     Additional Plan Provisions (11 U.S.C. §1123(b)).   The Plan’s additional provisions are appropriate and not inconsistent with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

H.     Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a).   The Plan is dated and identifies the entities submitting it as proponents, thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a).

I.       Debtor’s Compliance with Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §1129(a)(2)).   The Debtor has complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Specifically:

(1)      The Debtor is proper debtor under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code and is the proper Plan Proponent under section 1121(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(2)      The Debtor has complied with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise provided or permitted by Orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

5




(3)      The Debtor has satisfactorily complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules and the Solicitation Order in transmitting the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Ballots, the Confirmation Hearing Notice and related documents and notices and in soliciting and tabulating votes on the Plan.

(4)      The Plan has been accepted by Creditors holding in excess of two-thirds in amount and one-half in number of the Allowed Claims in each Impaired Class entitled to vote.

J.      Plan Proposed in Good Faith (11 U.S.C. §1129(a)(3)).   The Debtor has proposed the Plan in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. In determining that the Plan has been proposed in good faith, this Court has examined the totality of the circumstances surrounding the filing of this Chapter 11 case. The Debtor’s good faith is further demonstrated by the facts and records of this case, the Disclosure Statement and the hearing thereon and the record of the Confirmation Hearing and other proceedings held in this case. The Plan was proposed with the legitimate and honest purpose of maximizing the value of the Debtor’s Estate by providing the means through which the Debtor shall fully reorganize and distribute assets in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code for the benefit of Creditors.

K.     Payments for Services or Costs and Expenses (11 U.S.C. §1129(a)(4)).   Any payment made or to be made by the Debtor for services or for costs and expenses in or in connection with the Chapter 11 case, or in connection with the Plan and incident to this case, has been approved by, or is subject to the approval of, the Bankruptcy Court as reasonable, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

L.      Directors, Officers, and Insiders (11 U.S.C. §1129(a)(5)).   On June 21, 2006, the Debtor filed its Amended Disclosure of Post-Confirmation Officers and Directors Pursuant to 11

6




U.S.C. §1129(a)(5), thereby satisfying the requirements of section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.

M.    No Rate Changes (11 U.S.C. §1129(a)(6)).   Section 1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code is not applicable in this case or with respect to the Plan.

N.     Best Interests of Creditors (11 U.S.C. §1129(a)(7)).   The Plan satisfies section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Liquidation Analysis prepared by the Debtor and other evidence proffered or adduced at the Confirmation Hearing (a) are persuasive and credible as of the dates such evidence was prepared, presented or proffered, (b) have not been controverted by other persuasive evidence or have not been challenged, (c) are based upon reasonable and sound assumptions and (d) establish that each Holder of an Impaired Claim or Equity Interest either has accepted the Plan or will receive or retain under the Plan, on account of such Claim or Equity Interest, property of a value, as of the Effective Date, that is not less than the amount that such Holder would receive or retain if the Debtor was liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on such date.

O.     Acceptance by Certain Classes (11 U.S.C. §1129(a)(8)).   Based upon the Voting Certification, the evidence adduced at the Confirmation Hearing and the arguments of counsel, the Plan is confirmable because the Plan satisfies section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the rejecting Classes. Classes 1, 2 and 4 are Unimpaired under the Plan and, pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, are conclusively deemed to have to accept the Plan. Thus, as to the Unimpaired Classes under the Plan, the requirements of section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code are satisfied. Class 6 is not expected to receive or retain any property under the Plan and, therefore, is deemed to have rejected the Plan, pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. As to Impaired Classes 3 and 5 that are entitled to vote to accept or reject a

7




plan, section 1126(c) has been satisfied. Impaired Classes 3 and 5 voted overwhelmingly to accept the Plan in accordance with section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan is confirmable because the provisions of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code have been satisfied with respect to the dissenting Class.

P.      Treatment of Administrative and Priority Claims (11 U.S.C. §1129(a)(9)).   The treatment of Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims and Other Priority Claims pursuant to the Plan satisfies the requirements of sections 1129(a)(9)(A), (B), (C) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Q.     Acceptance By Impaired Classes (11 U.S.C. §1129(a)(10)).   At least one Class of Claims against the Debtor that is Impaired under the Plan has accepted the Plan, determined without including any acceptance of the Plan by any insider, thus satisfying the requirements of section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code.

R.     Feasibility (11 U.S.C. §1129(a)(11)).   The Plan proposed by the Debtor provides for a reorganization of the Debtor and a distribution of Cash to Creditors in accordance with the priority schemes of the Bankruptcy Code and the terms of the Plan and this Confirmation Order. The Disclosure Statement, the Declaration of Carmino Rosa in Support of Confirmation and the evidence proffered or adduced at the Confirmation Hearing among other things, (a) are persuasive and credible, (b) have not been controverted by other persuasive evidence and (c) demonstrate that there will be sufficient funds to satisfy the Debtor’s obligations under the Plan and to fund the costs and expenses of the Reorganized Debtor after the confirmation of the Plan, thus satisfying the requirements of section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code.

S.      Payment of Fees (11 U.S.C. §1129(a)(12)).   All fees payable under the section 1930 of title 28 of the United States Code (the “Quarterly Fees”), as determined by the Bankruptcy Court, have been paid or will be paid pursuant to the Plan.

8




T.     Continuation of Retiree Benefits (11 U.S.C. §1129(a)(13)).   This provision is inapplicable since the Debtor does not maintain retiree benefits as contemplated by section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code.

U.     Fair and Equitable; No Unfair Discrimination (11 U.S.C. §1129(b)).   Based upon the evidence proffered, adduced or presented by the Debtor at the Confirmation Hearing, the Plan does not discriminate unfairly and is fair and equitable with respect to any rejecting Classes, as required by section 1129(b)(1) and (2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Thus, the Plan may be confirmed notwithstanding section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code. Upon confirmation of the Plan and the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Plan shall be binding upon the members of any rejecting Classes.

V.     Principal Purpose of the Plan (11 U.S.C §1129(d)).   The principal purpose of the Plan is not the avoidance of taxes or the avoidance of section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and no governmental unit has opposed confirmation of the Plan.

W.    Modifications to the Plan.   Any modification to the Plan set forth in this Confirmation Order constitute technical changes and/or changes with respect to particular claims by agreement with the Holders of such Claims and do not adversely change the treatment of any other Claims or Equity Interests. Accordingly, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3019, these modifications do not require additional disclosure under section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code or re-solicitation of votes under section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, nor do they require that Holders of Claims or Equity Interests be afforded an opportunity to change previously cast acceptances or rejections of the Plan.

X.     Good Faith Solicitation (11 U.S.C. §1125(e)).   Based on the record before the Bankruptcy Court in these Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtor and its respective officers, directors,

9




employees, agents, counsel or other professionals have acted in “good faith” within the meaning of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules in connection with all their respective activities relating to the solicitation of acceptance to the Plan and their participation in the activities described in section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code, and are entitled to the protections afforded by section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and the limitations of liability set forth in the Plan.

Y.     Preservation of Causes of Action.   It is in the best interests of the Creditors of the Debtor’s Estate that all Causes of Action, not expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised or settled in the Plan or by any Final Order, be retained by the Debtor (before the Effective Date) and the Reorganized Debtor (after the Effective Date) pursuant to the Plan, to preserve the value of the Debtor’s Estate.

AA.   No Further Action.   No further action of this Court or the respective directors or shareholders of the Debtor will be required to authorize the Debtor to enter into, execute and deliver, or adopt, as the case may be, the documents necessary to implement the provisions of the Plan.

BB.     Satisfaction of Confirmation Requirements.   The Plan satisfies the requirements for confirmation set forth in section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.

CC.     Retention of Jurisdiction.   The Bankruptcy Court may properly retain jurisdiction over the matters set forth in Article X of the Plan and section 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code.

21.  Preservation of Causes of Action.   Unless Causes of Action against an entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised or settled in the Plan or any Final Order, the Debtor expressly reserves, for the benefit of the Reorganized Debtor, all Causes of Action for later adjudication. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, this Confirmation Order or any document, instrument, release or other agreement entered into in connection with the Plan, in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Debtor retains all rights to commence and pursue, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action.
