6.

The Debtors have made a final determination of the validity of, and tabulation with respect to, all acceptances and rejections of the Plan by holders of Claims entitled to vote on the Plan, including the amount and number of accepting and rejecting Claims in Classes 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 under the Plan.

F.     Section 1129(a)(3). The Plan has been proposed in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law. In so finding, the Court has considered the totality of the circumstances in these Reorganization Cases. The Plan is the result of extensive, good faith, arm’s length negotiations among the Debtors and certain of their principal constituencies (including holders of approximately 99% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes Claims and holders of approximately 97% of the principal amount of Convertible Subordinated Notes Claims, the Creditors’ Committee, and each of their respective representatives), reflects substantial input from the principal constituencies having an interest in these cases, and achieves the goal of consensual reorganization contemplated by the Bankruptcy Code.

 

G.     Section 1129(a)(4). Any payment made or to be made by the Debtors for services or for costs and expenses in, or in connection with, the Reorganization Cases, or in connection with the Plan and incident to the Reorganization Cases, has been approved by, or is subject to the approval of, this Court as reasonable, satisfying the requirements of section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Plan, and except as otherwise provided herein, all payments to be made to Professional Persons or other entities asserting a Fee Claim for services rendered before the Effective Date will be subject to review and approval by this Court.

 

H.     Section 1129(a)(5). To the extent known, the Debtors have disclosed the identity and affiliations of the individuals proposed to serve, after confirmation of the Plan, as directors and officers of the Reorganized Debtors; the appointment to, or continuance in, such offices of such individuals is consistent with the interests of the Debtors’ creditors and interest holders and with public policy; and the Debtors have disclosed the identity of any insiders who will be employed or retained by the Reorganized Debtors subsequent to confirmation of the Plan and the nature of any compensation to be paid to such insiders. These disclosures satisfy the requirements of section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

I.     Section 1129(a)(6). The Plan does not provide for any changes in rates that require regulatory approval of any governmental agency.

See Disclosure Statement, Exhibit 2.

 

K.     Section 1129(a)(8). With respect to each Class of Claims or Interests designated by the Plan, other than (i) Classes that do not have a holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest and are deemed eliminated from the Plan for the purposes of section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code pursuant to paragraph 19 of the Disclosure Statement Order, and (ii) Classes 7 (solely with respect to General Unsecured Claims against KV), 8(a) (Existing Securities Law Claims), 8(b) (Equitably Subordinated Claims) and 9 (Existing KV Interests) either: (a) such Class has accepted the Plan; or (b) such Class is not Impaired under the Plan.

The holders of Claims in Classes 8(a), 8(b) and 9 are deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Nevertheless, the Plan is confirmable because it satisfies section 1129(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to such non-accepting Classes of Claims and Interests.

 

 

 
- 4 -

 

 

L.     Section 1129(a)(9). Except to the extent that the holder of a particular Claim has agreed to different treatment, the Plan provides treatment for Administrative Expense Claims, Priority Tax Claims, Fee Claims and Priority Non-Tax Claims that is consistent with the requirements of section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

M.     Section 1129(a)(10). The Plan has been accepted by Classes 3, 5, 6, and 7 (except with respect to General Unsecured Claims against KV), which are all Classes of impaired Claims that are entitled to vote on the Plan, determined without including any acceptance of the Plan by any insider. In accordance with paragraph 18(j) of the Disclosure Statement Order, as no holder of Claims in Class 4 voted to accept or reject the Plan, such Class is deemed to have accepted the Plan.

 

N.     Section 1129(a)(11). The Debtors’ projections of financial information of the Reorganized Debtors as of the Effective Date are reasonable and made in good faith, and confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation or the need for the further financial reorganization of the Debtors.

 

O.     Section 1129(a)(12). The Plan provides that all fees payable pursuant to section 1930 of title 28 of the United States Code, due and payable through the Effective Date shall be paid by the Debtors on or before the Effective Date and amounts due thereafter shall be paid by the Reorganized Debtors in the ordinary course until the entry of a final decree closing the Reorganization Cases, or the conversion or dismissal of the Reorganization Cases.

P.     Section 1129(a)(13). On and after the Effective Date, pursuant to section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Debtors shall continue to pay all retiree benefits (within the meaning of section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code), if any, at the level established in accordance with section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code, at any time prior to the Confirmation Date, for the duration of the period for which the Debtor had obligated itself to provide such benefits.

 

Q.     Sections 1129(a)(14), 1129(a)(15) and 1129 (a)(16). Sections 1129(a)(14), 1129(a)15) and 1129(a)(16) of the Bankruptcy Code do not apply to the Reorganization Cases.

 

R.     Section 1129(b). The Plan does not “discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” with respect to Classes 7 (with respect to General Unsecured Claims against KV), 8(a), 8(b) and 9, i.e., the Classes that are impaired and rejected (or are deemed to reject) the Plan. The Plan does not discriminate unfairly with respect to Class 7 (with respect to General Unsecured Claims against KV) because the holders of General Unsecured Claims against KV are receiving the same or more favorable treatment as holders of all similarly situated unsecured Claims against KV.

 

S.     The Plan does not discriminate unfairly with respect to Classes 8(a), 8(b) or 9 because the Claims and Interests in such Classes either are subordinated to other Claims or have no value. The Plan is “fair and equitable” with respect to each rejecting Class because no Class senior to each such rejecting Class is being paid more than in full and the Plan does not provide a recovery on account of any Claim or Interest that is junior to Classes 7, 8(a), 8(b) or 9.

 

T.     Section 1129(c). The Plan is the only plan that has been filed in these cases that has been found to satisfy the requirements of subsections (a) and (b) of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, the requirements of section 1129(c) of the Bankruptcy Code have been satisfied.

 

U.     Section 1129(d). No party in interest, including any governmental unit (as defined in section 101(27) of the Bankruptcy Code), has requested that the Court deny confirmation of the Plan on grounds that the principal purpose of the Plan is the avoidance of taxes or the avoidance of the application of section 5 of the Securities Act; the principal purpose of the Plan is not such avoidance. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.

DISCHARGE, INDEMNIFiCATIOn,
injunctions, RELEASES AND exculpation

 

V.     The indemnification, injunction, discharge, release and exculpation provisions set forth in Article XII of the Plan, as modified by paragraphs 19 and 20 of this Order, constitute good faith compromises and settlements of the matters covered thereby. Such compromises and settlements are made in exchange for consideration and are in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates, are fair, equitable, reasonable, and are integral elements of the restructuring and resolution of the Reorganization Cases in accordance with the Plan. The failure to effect the discharge, release, indemnification, injunction and exculpation provisions described in Article XII of the Plan, as modified by paragraphs 19 and 20 of this Order, would seriously impair the Debtors’ ability to confirm the Plan. Subject to the modifications set forth in paragraphs 19 and 20 of this Order, each of the discharge, release, indemnification, injunction and exculpation provisions set forth in the Plan:

 

 

(i)

is within the jurisdiction of the Court under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1334(a), (b) and (d);

 

 

(ii)

is an essential means of implementing the Plan pursuant to section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code;

 

 

(iii)

is an integral element of the settlements and transactions incorporated into the Plan;

 

 

(iv)

confers material benefit on, and is in the best interests of, the Debtors and their estates;

 

 

(v)

is important to the overall objectives of the Plan to finally resolve all Claims among or against the parties in interest in the Reorganization Cases with respect to the Debtors, their organization, capitalization, operation and reorganization; and

 

 

(vi)

is consistent with sections 105, 1123 and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable law.

 

W.     Termination of Subordination Rights and Settlement of Related Claims. Except as provided in the Plan, the classification of and manner of all Claims and Interests and the respective distributions, treatments and other provisions under the Plan take into account or conform to the relative priority and rights of the Claims and Interests in each Class in connection with any contractual, legal and equitable subordination rights relating thereto whether arising under general principles of equitable subordination, sections 510(a) and 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and any and all such rights are settled, compromised and released pursuant to the Plan.

HERMELIN CLAIMS

 

X.     As a result of the withdrawal of the proof of claim filed by Mr. Marc S. Hermelin, assigned claim number 151 by the Debtors’ claims agent, there are no claims in Class 8(b) (Equitably Subordinated Claims).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED,
ADJUDGED AND DECREED, that:

 

1.     The findings of this Court as set forth herein shall constitute findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 7052, made applicable to this matter by virtue of Bankruptcy Rule 9014. To the extent any findings of fact constitute conclusions of law, they are adopted as such. To the extent any conclusions of law constitute findings of fact, they are adopted as such.

 

2.     The Plan is confirmed pursuant to section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that if there is any conflict between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Order, the terms of this Order shall control.

 

3.     The Effective Date of the Plan shall occur on the first Business Day on which all conditions set forth in Section 11.2 of the Plan have been satisfied or waived in accordance with Section 11.3 of the Plan.

 

4.     Any objections or responses to confirmation of the Plan and any reservation of rights contained therein that (a) have not been withdrawn, waived or settled prior to the entry of this Order or (b) are not cured by the relief granted herein, are overruled in their entirety and on their merits, and all withdrawn objections or responses are deemed withdrawn with prejudice.

 

5.     The business and assets of the Debtors shall remain subject to the jurisdiction of this Court until the Effective Date.

 

6.     On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may operate their businesses and may use, acquire and dispose of property and prosecute, compromise or settle any Claims (including any Administrative Expense Claims) and Causes of Action without supervision of or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free and clear of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules other than restrictions expressly imposed by the Plan or this Order. Without limiting the foregoing, the Reorganized Debtors may pay the charges that they incur on or after the Effective Date for Professional Persons’ fees, disbursements, expenses or related support services without application to the Bankruptcy Court.

 

7.     The Plan provides for the entry into the New First Lien Term Loan. The New First Lien Term Loan was proposed in good faith, is critical to the success and feasibility of the Plan and is necessary and appropriate for the consummation of the Plan, and entry into the New First Lien Term Loan is in the best interests of the Debtors, their estates and their creditors and the Reorganized Debtors.  The Debtors have exercised reasonable business judgment in determining to enter into the New First Lien Term Loan and have provided sufficient and adequate notice thereof.  The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors are hereby authorized, to the extent not already authorized by Order of this Court and without further approval of this Court or notice to any other party, to execute and deliver all agreements, guarantees, security documents, mortgages, control agreements, certificates, insurance documents, opinions and all other documents, instruments and certificates relating thereto or contemplated thereunder (collectively, the “First Lien Term Loan Documents”) and fully perform their obligations thereunder.  The First Lien Term Loan Documents (when and to the extent entered into) are or will be, and are hereby deemed to be binding and enforceable against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and their affiliates party thereto in accordance with their terms.  The New First Lien Term Loan (including, without limitation, any and all terms, conditions and covenants thereof) has been negotiated in good faith and at arm’s-length among the Debtors and the agent and lenders under the New First Lien Term Loan (the agent and the lenders are collectively referred to herein as the “New First Lien Lenders”), and any credit extended, letters of credit issued for the account of, or loans made to the Reorganized Debtors by the New First Lien Lenders pursuant to the New First Lien Term Loan shall be deemed to have been extended, issued, and made in good faith and for legitimate business purposes.  The guarantees, mortgages, pledges, liens and other security interests, and all other consideration granted pursuant to or in connection with the New First Lien Term Loan are or will be (as the case may be) and are hereby deemed to be granted in good faith, for good and valuable consideration and for legitimate business purposes as an inducement to the lenders to extend credit thereunder and shall be, and hereby are, deemed not to constitute a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer and shall not otherwise be subject to avoidance or recharacterization.

 

 

 
- 7 -

 

 

8.     The Plan provides for the comprehensive settlement of Claims and controversies against the Debtors, including the settlement of the ETHEX Criminal Fine Claims and the Qui Tam Claims. The negotiations of such settlements were conducted in good faith and at arm’s length, and each such settlement is of benefit to the Debtors’ estates and represents a fair, necessary and reasonable compromise of the Claims held by the holders thereof. The terms and conditions of each such compromise and settlement are therefore an integral part of the Plan. Further, the settlements represent a compromise between and among the Debtors and their creditors of all claims against, interests in, and litigation pending or threatened against the Debtors, or that was or could have been commenced against the Debtors prior to the date of entry of this Order. The settlements, as reflected in the relative distributions and recoveries of holders of Claims and Interests under the Plan, are fair and reasonable and accordingly are approved pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019(a). The Settlements will save the Debtors and their estate the costs and expenses of prosecuting various disputes, the outcome of which would likely consume substantial resources of the Debtors’ estates and require substantial time to adjudicate. The settlements also have facilitated the creation and implementation of the Plan and benefit the estates and the Debtors’ creditors.

 

A.     Plan Implementation

 

9.     In accordance with section 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code, section 303 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and any comparable provisions of the business corporation law of any other state (collectively, the “Reorganization Effectuation Statutes”), but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent listed in Section 11.2 of the Plan (unless waived in accordance with section 11.3 of the Plan), without further action by the Court or the boards of directors or managers or security holders of any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors are authorized to: (a) take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to implement, effectuate and consummate the Plan, this Order or the transactions contemplated thereby or hereby, including those transactions identified in Article VII of the Plan; and (b) execute, deliver, file and record such documents (including the Plan Documents), contracts, instruments, releases and other agreements and take such other action as may be necessary to effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan.

 

10.     This Order shall constitute all approvals and consents required, if any, by the laws, rules or regulations of any state or any other governmental authority with respect to the implementation or consummation of the Plan and any other acts that may be necessary or appropriate for the implementation or consummation of the Plan.

 

11.     Each federal, state, commonwealth, local, foreign or other governmental agency is hereby directed and authorized to accept for filing and/or recording any and all documents, mortgages and instruments necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement or consummate the transactions contemplated by the Plan and this Order.

 

12.     The consummation of the Plan, including the assumption of any executory contract or unexpired lease by a Reorganized Debtor, shall not constitute a change in ownership or change in control under any employee benefit plan or program, financial instrument, loan or financing agreement, executory contract or unexpired lease or contract, lease or agreement in existence on the Effective Date to which any Debtor is a party.

 

B.     Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

16.     All Claims arising from the rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases, if any, will be treated as General Unsecured Claims. In the event that the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease by any of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan results in damages to the other party or parties to such contract or lease, a Claim for such damages shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, or their respective properties or interests in property as agents, successors or assigns, unless a proof of claim is timely filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served upon counsel for the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after service by the Debtors of individualized notice of the effective date of such rejection (which may be the Effective Date, the date on which the Debtors reject the applicable contract or lease as provided in Section 10.3(c) of the Plan, or pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court).

D.     No Relinquishment of Rights

 

18.     Except as provided in sections 12.7 and 14.5 of the Plan, nothing contained in the Plan or this Order shall be deemed to be a relinquishment of any rights, claims, or Causes of Action, rights of setoff, or other legal or equitable defenses that the Debtors had immediately prior to the Effective Date on behalf of the estates or of themselves in accordance with any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable non-bankruptcy law, and the Reorganized Debtors shall have, retain, reserve, and be entitled to assert all such claims, Causes of Action, rights of setoff, or other legal or equitable defenses as fully as if the Reorganization Cases had not been commenced, and all of the Debtors’ legal and/or equitable rights respecting any Claim left unimpaired by the Plan may be asserted to the same extent as if the Reorganization Cases had not been commenced.
