To the extent any inconsistencies exist between this Disclosure Statement and the Plan, the Plan governs. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in Section 2.1 of the Plan, Bankruptcy Code, or Bankruptcy Rules WHO IS ENTITLED TO VOTE: Under the Bankruptcy Code, only holders of claims or interests in “impaired” classes are entitled to vote on the Plan (unless, for reasons discussed in more detail below, such holders are deemed to reject the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code). Under section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code, a class of claims or interests is deemed to be “impaired” under the Plan unless (i) the Plan leaves unaltered the legal, equitable, and contractual rights to which such claim or interest entitles the Holder thereof or (ii) notwithstanding any legal right to an accelerated payment of such claim or interest, the Plan, among other things, cures all existing defaults (other than defaults resulting from the occurrence of events of bankruptcy) and reinstates the maturity of such claim or interest as it existed before the default. The following table summarizes: (i) the treatment of Claims and Interests under the Plan, (ii) the Classes which are Impaired by the Plan, (iii) the Classes which are entitled to vote on the Plan, and (iv) the estimated recoveries for Holders of Claims. The table is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan. For a more detailed summary of the terms and provisions of the Plan, see Article IV—Summary of the Plan below. The classification, treatment, and the projected recoveries of classified Claims are described in summary form below for illustrative purposes only and are subject to material change. In particular, recoveries available to Holders of General Unsecured Claims are estimates based on the information known to the Debtors as of the date hereof and actual recoveries could differ materially based on, among other things, whether the amount of Claims actually Allowed against the Debtors exceed the estimates provided below. In such an instance, the recoveries available to the Holders of General Unsecured Claims could be materially lower when compared to the estimates provided below. Page 1

As the Bar Date has not yet occurred and the Rejection Motions are yet to be approved by the Court and amounts actually recovered by the Liquidation Trust after the Effective Date and final resolution of Claims are unknown, the estimated amounts of claims and the estimated percentage recovery may be materially different than that presented herein.

(“Hooper Holmes”), founded in 1899, is a publicly-traded New York corporation whose shares of common stock are listed on the OTCQX (OTXQX: HPHW). The Debtors are headquartered in Olathe, Kansas. In 2015, Hooper Holmes acquired substantially all of the assets of Accountable Health Solutions, Inc. In 2017, Hooper Holmes merged with Provant Health Solutions, LLC (“PHS”). Hooper Holmes and its direct and indirect subsidiaries operated in one reporting segment and do business as Provant Health. The Debtors provided comprehensive health and wellbeing programs offered through organizations’ sponsorship. These services included on-site biometric screening services and flu shots, laboratory testing, health risk assessment, and sample collection services to, among others, corporate and government employers, health plans, wellbeing companies, and third party administrators.

The Wellness Services were the Debtors’ primary source of revenues and generated the vast majority of the Debtors’ revenues. The Wellness Services were accounted for under the Hooper Holmes general ledger. The Kits are medical kits for sale to third parties and generate ancillary revenue for the Debtors. The Kits were accounted for under the Hooper Kit Services, LLC (“HKS”) general ledger. The Kits business provided services to global pharmaceutical companies and is subject to federal regulations administered by the Food and Drug Administration. 2.2 Debtors Corporate and Capital Structure Debtor Hooper Holmes is the ultimate parent for each of the Debtors as it owns, directly or indirectly, each of the remaining Debtor subsidiaries.

The Debtors’ prepetition indebtedness can be summarized as follows: Indebtedness Principal Balance Outstanding Revolving Credit Facility $4,754,847 Term Loan Facility $18,717,773 Subordinated Promissory Note $1,916,998 Total $25,389,618 (i) Revolving Credit Facility In April 2016, Hooper Holmes entered into that Credit and Security Agreement with CNH, as amended (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).6 The Revolving Credit Facility was an asset-based facility and provided the Debtors with proceeds for general working capital purposes and capital expenditures. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Debtors could borrow up to $10 million, with an accordion up to $15 million during high-volume months, at the discretion of CNH. Obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility were secured by substantially all of the Debtors’ existing and after-acquired property, including, but not limited to, their receivables (which are subject to a lockbox account arrangement), inventory, and equipment. As described below, the Revolving Credit Facility, including any debtor-in-possession financial obligations rolled up thereunder, were paid off in full by the Sale Proceeds. (ii) Term Loan Facility Hooper Holmes, as borrower, and SWK, as agent, sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, amended and restated as of May 11, 2017 (as amended, restated, modified, or supplemented from time to time) (the “Term Loan Facility,” and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Prepetition Debt Facilities”). The Term Loan Facility provided the Debtors with additional working capital for general business purposes. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility are secured by a security interest in the Debtors’ existing and after-acquired property, including, but not limited to, their receivables (which are subject to a lockbox account arrangement), inventory, and equipment. All of the other Debtors are guarantors of the obligations under the Term Loan Facility pursuant to that Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated May 11, 2017 (as amended, restated, modified, or supplemented from time to time). (iii) Subordinated Promissory Note Prior to the Merger, Century Equity Partners (“Century”) invested $2.5 million in PHS in the form of subordinated, convertible debt pursuant to that certain Subordinated Promissory 6 The “Revolving Credit Facility” means that certain Credit and Security Agreement dated April 29, 2016, by and between SCM Specialty Finance Opportunities, Fund, L.P. and Hooper Holmes, Inc. and subsidiaries (as amended, restated, modified, and supplemented from time to time).

18-23302-rdd Doc 293 Filed 12/14/18 Entered 12/14/18 15:17:21 Main Document Pg 15 of 106 Note, dated May 11, 2017, between Century and PHS (the “Subordinated Promissory Note”). Immediately prior to closing of the Merger, approximately $0.4 million of the balance of the Subordinated Promissory Note converted to equity in PHS. The remaining approximately $1.9 million of the Subordinated Promissory Note remained outstanding as subordinated debt. The Subordinated Promissory Note is unsecured and subordinate to the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility pursuant to the terms of the Subordinated Promissory Note. On May 11, 2017, Century, SWK, and PHS entered into a subordination agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”) in connection with the execution of the Term Loan Facility. By the Subordination Agreement, Century agreed that all indebtedness owed to it by the Debtors, including the Subordinated Promissory Note, was subordinated to all indebtedness due from the Debtors to SWK. As the Sale Proceeds did not pay SWK for the entire amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, Century is not entitled to a recovery until SWK is paid in full for the Term Loan Facility. (iv) Intercreditor Agreement Pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, CNH’s lien under the Revolving Credit Facility was senior to SWK’s liens under the Term Loan Facility with respect to the “Revolving Loan Priority Collateral,” which included, among other things, accounts and books and records. The Revolving Credit Facility’s priority in the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral was capped at $17.25 million. SWK’s liens under the Term Loan Facility were senior in priority to CNH’s liens under the Revolving Credit Facility with respect to all of the Debtors’ assets not considered Revolving Loan Priority Collateral. 2.3 Events Leading to the Chapter 11 Cases The most significant factor leading to the commencement of these chapter 11 cases was the amount of debt on the Debtors’ balance sheet. As described below, the Debtors incurred year-over-year losses from operations with negative cash flows. To fund the Debtors’ operations, the Debtors incurred debt in the ordinary course. Further, mergers and acquisitions by the Debtors in recent years added significant debt to the Debtors’ balance sheet, resulting in unsustainable leverage. While the Debtors attempted to refinance its debt obligations outside of chapter 11, their efforts were unsuccessful. (a) Mergers and Acquisitions (i) Accountable Health Solutions Acquisition In April 2017, Hooper Holmes acquired substantially all of the assets from Accountable Health Solutions, Inc. for approximately $7 million (the “AHS Acquisition”). The AHS Acquisition expanded the Debtors’ capabilities to deliver telephonic health coaching, wellness portals, and data analytics and reporting services. In order to fund the Acquisition, the Debtors entered into the Term Loan Facility and increased their debt load by approximately $2 million (ii) PHS Merger In May 2017, Hooper Holmes closed on its merger with PHS, with PHS becoming a Page 9

Through the Merger, the Debtors offered a personalized, one-stop programming experience for customers. The Debtors expected that the Merger would increase scale, improve gross margins due to combined revenues and operations‒producing operational synergies by reducing fixed costs. While the combined Debtors expected financial conditions to improve at the Merger, PHS had a history of operating losses as well, and the Debtors incurred significant costs and additional debt for the Merger. Further, the Debtors significantly overestimated their ability to create synergies in both time and cost, thereby resulting in a significant operating shortfall in 2017. As a result, the Debtors entered into 2018 in a significant working capital shortfall, as debt was used to fund these operating losses. In order to fund the Merger, the Debtors and SWK entered into an amended and restated credit agreement which increased the principle balance from $3.7 million to $6.5 million and provided the $2 million seasonal facility. In addition, the Debtors and CNH amended the 2016 Credit and Security Agreement which expanded the Revolving Credit Facility from $7 million to $10 million, with an accordion up to $15 million. Because of the Merger, the Debtors took on indebtedness substantially greater than that prior to the Merger. Despite the optimism from the AHS Acquisition and the Merger, the Debtors continued to have losses from operations and negative cash flows. As of March 31, 2018, the Debtors had a working capital deficit of $31.5 million, and were not projecting future positive cash flows from operations. In addition, to fund operations, the Debtors continued to rely on third party financing. (b) Pre-Petition Date Initiatives Faced with the burdensome debt load, the Debtors undertook a number of initiatives in an effort to improve operating efficiency and performance, streamline costs, and improve their overall balance sheet profile, including: (a) implementing cost-cutting measures, (b) analyzing multiple strategic alternatives, including the sale of the Debtors’ business, and potential capital markets solutions, and (c) engaging key creditor constituencies. The Debtors also engaged experienced advisors to assist in their evaluation and review of the process. (i) Cost Cutting Initiatives Cognizant of their strained financial position, the Debtors instituted cost initiatives to improve operations and address ongoing cash concerns. In March 2018, the Debtors engaged the services of PMCM 2, LLC‒a subsidiary of Phoenix Management Services (“Phoenix”) as turnaround professional, and installed James E. Fleet of Phoenix as their Chief Restructuring Officer (the “CRO”). With the CRO, the Debtors implemented a working plan to restructure the Debtors’ balance sheet, control and decrease operating expenses, and resolve other going- concern issues. As a result of these initiatives, the Debtors (a) renegotiated customer contracts to more favorable and profitable terms; (b) revised supply chain contracts with certain vendors to streamline the supply chain, obtain replacement vendors, and reduce costs; and (c) eliminated redundancy in operations by consolidating operations, recalibrating cost of sale items, and reducing duplicative employment positions which were projected to achieve millions of dollars of annualized headcount savings Page 10

In January 2016, Hooper Holmes executed a rights offering to current shareholders to fund working capital, resulting in $3.4 million in net proceeds. Hooper Holmes also funded working capital through additional equity contributions totaling approximately $6.3 million through the remainder of 2016 and 2017 (iii) M&A Activity The Debtors’ efforts to market their assets began many months before their Chapter 11 Cases. On May 8, 2018, the Debtors retained Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (“Raymond James”) to serve as their investment banker and to market substantially all of their assets (the “Transferred Assets”). Raymond James and the Debtors spent considerable time and effort pre-petition in contacting anyone that potentially could be interested in acquiring the Debtors’ assets. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors, via Raymond James, contacted approximately 259 potential buyers, including 90 strategic buyers (i.e., operating companies interested in expanding their presence in the health-screening and corporate-wellness services industry) and 169 financial buyers (i.e., such as private equity firms). These efforts resulted in the receipt of four indications of interest (each, an “IOI”). During a second and final round of bidding, which lasted from July 11, 2018 until August 15, 2018, the Debtors provided these bidders with management presentations and access to an electronic data room containing significant diligence and other confidential information about the Debtors’ business. The Debtors and Raymond James also continued negotiating with the remaining bidders to increase the value of the bids received. At the culmination of this process, the bid submitted by Summit Health, Inc. (“Summit”) was the highest and best bid for the Debtors’ assets but remained subject to higher or better offers pursuant to a competitive sale process. The Debtors and Raymond James therefore focused their attention on (a) improving the value of that bid to the Debtors’ estates, and (b) negotiating changes to and ultimately executing an asset purchase agreement (as amended, the “Stalking Horse APA”), both of which they accomplished between August 15, 2018 and the Petition Date. Pursuant to the terms of the Stalking Horse APA, the Debtors agreed to sell the Transferred Assets to Summit (the “Sale Transaction”) for $27,250,000 million in cash, plus the assumption of certain liabilities, subject to certain adjustments. ARTICLE III KEY EVENTS DURING THE CHAPTER 11 CASES After the Petition Date, the Debtors operated their businesses and managed their properties as debtors-in-possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. The following is a general summary of these Chapter 11 Cases. Page 11

The relief sought in the “first day” pleadings facilitated the Debtors’ transition into chapter 11 and aided in the preservation of the Debtors’ value. The final orders entered by this Court on Debtors’ first day pleadings included the following: • Order (I) Directing Joint Administration of Chapter 11 Cases and (II) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 35]; • Order Extending Time to File Schedules of Assets and Liabilities, Schedules of Current Income and Expenditures [Docket No. 43] (“Schedules Extension Order”); • Order (I) Authorizing the Debtors to (A) Prepare a List of Creditors in Lieu of Submitting a Formatted Mailing Matrix and (B) File a Consolidated List of the Debtors’ 30 Largest Unsecured Creditors, (II) Authorizing the Debtors to Redact Certain Personal Identification Information for Individual Creditors, (III) Approving the Form and Manner of Notifying Creditors of Commencement of these Chapter 11 Cases, and (IV) Requesting Related Relief [Docket No. 44]; • Final Order (I) Authorizing the Debtors to (A) Continue Using the Cash Management System and (B) Maintain Existing Bank Accounts and Business Forms and Books and Records; (II) Authorizing Continued Intercompany Transactions, and (III) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 140]. • Final Order (I) Approving Notification and Hearing Procedures for Certain Transfers of and Declarations of Worthlessness with Respect to Common Stock and (II) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 141]. • Final Order (I) Authorizing the Payment of Certain Prepetition Taxes and Fees and (II) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 142] (the “Taxes Order”). • Final Order (I) Authorizing the Debtors to (A) Pay Prepetition Wages, Salaries, Other Compensation, and Reimbursable Expenses and (B) Continue Employee Benefits Programs, and (II) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 143]. • Order Determining that 11 U.S.C. § 333(a) Is Not Applicable in these Chapter 11 Cases and that Appointment of a Patient Care Ombudsman Is Not Necessary [Docket No. 144]; • Order (I) Determining that Utility Providers Have Been Provided with Adequate Assurance of Payment, (II) Prohibiting the Utility Providers from Altering, Refusing, or Discontinuing Services, (III) Approving the Proposed Adequate Assurance Procedures, and (IV) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 146]; • Final Order Authorizing the Debtors to (I) Continue Insurance Coverage Entered Page 12

Accordingly, on the Petition Date, the Debtors filed a motion to obtain debtor-in-possession financing from SWK and CNH. On August 30, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Interim Order (1) Authorizing the Debtors to Obtain Postpetition Financing, Granting Senior Postpetition Security Interests and According Superpriority Administrative Expense Status Pursuant to Sections 364(c) and 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, (2) Authorizing the Use of Cash Collateral, (3) Granting Adequate Protection, (4) Modifying the Automatic Stay, and (5) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 38]. In addition, on September 27, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Final DIP Financing Order. The Final DIP Financing Order authorized the Debtors to borrow up to an aggregate of $13.6 million in postpetition debtor-in-possession financing. Specifically, CNH provided a $12.0 million postpetition debtor-in-possession revolving facility on terms similar to those provided under the Revolving Credit Facility, and SWK provided $1.6 million in a term loan facility on terms similar to those provided under the Term Loan Facility (collectively, the “DIP Facilities”). The Debtors granted, among other things, CNH and SWK superpriority administrative claims pursuant to section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, first priority liens on substantially all of the Debtors’ unencumbered property, junior priority liens on substantially all of the Debtors’ encumbered property, and the payment of certain fees under the DIP Facilities. On October 11, 2018, the DIP Facilities were paid off in full from the proceeds of the Sale Transaction, as described below. 3.3 Retention of Professionals The Debtors also filed several applications and obtained authority to retain various professionals to assist the Debtors in carrying out their duties under the Bankruptcy Code as Page 13

The Bankruptcy Court approved the retention and employment of the following advisors: • Epiq Corporate Restructuring (“Epiq”), as Notice and Claims Agent, [Docket No. 36]; • Raymond James, as Investment Banker, [Docket No. 148]; • Phoenix as Financial Advisor, and James E. Fleet, as CRO pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 363 (“CRO”) [Docket No. 204]; • Halperin Battaglia Benzija, LLP (“HBB”), as Conflicts and Efficiency Counsel, [Docket No. 205]; • CBIZ MHM, LLC (“CBIZ”), as Accountants, [Docket No. 207]; • Foley & Lardner LLP (“Foley”), as Counsel to the Debtors, [Docket No. 210]; • Spencer Fane LLP (“Spencer Fane”), as Special Counsel, [Docket No. 216]; • Epiq, as Administrative Agent, [Docket No. 252]. On October 16, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order Establishing Procedures for Interim Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for Retained Professionals [Docket No. 203]. In the ordinary course of business, the Debtors also retained various attorneys and other ordinary course professionals who rendered a wide range of services to the Debtors in a variety of matters unrelated to these Chapter 11 Cases, including litigation, regulatory, labor and employment, intellectual property, general corporate, franchise, and other matters that have a direct impact on the Debtors’ day-to-day operations. To prevent disruption to these services, on September 25, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order Authorizing the Retention and Compensation of Certain Professionals Utilized in the Ordinary Course of Business [Docket No. 147]. 3.4 Appointment of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors On September 6, 2018, the United States Trustee appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors (the “Committee”), which included representatives from MinuteClinic, L.L.C., Moore Medical, and ND Data Group of RI d/b/a New Directions. On October 16, 2018 the Bankruptcy Court approved the Committee’s retention of Brown Rudnick LLP as counsel [Docket No. 206]. On October 25, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Committee’s retention of Berkeley Research Group, LLC. [Docket No. 217] as financial advisors. On December 13, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Committee’s retention of CKR Law LLP as special litigation counsel [Docket No. 291]. 3.5 KEIP and NIRP On September 6, 2018, the Debtors filed the Debtors’ Motion for Entry of an Order (I) Page 14


 
18-23302-rdd Doc 293 Filed 12/14/18 Entered 12/14/18 15:17:21 Main Document Pg 21 of 106 Authorizing and Approving Debtors’ (A) Key Employee Incentive Plan (B) Non-Insider Retention Plan and (II) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 64] (the “KEIP/NIRP Motion”), whereby the Debtors sought authority to continue: (a) a prepetition key employee incentive plan (“KEIP”) for certain members of management tied to the successful consummation of certain enterprise-level transactions, and (b) a non-insider retention plan (“NIRP”) providing a modest bonus pool for certain non-insider employees. The U.S. Trustee filed an objection to the KEIP/NIRP Motion with respect to both the KEIP and the NIRP. The Committee filed an objection to the KEIP/NIRP Motion solely with respect to the KEIP. The U.S. Trustee ultimately withdrew its objection to the NIRP, other than with respect to one employee of the Debtors (the “Unresolved Employee”). On October 3, 2018, after a contested hearing, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order Granting in Part the Debtors’ Motion for Entry of Order (I) Authorizing and Approving Debtors’ (A) Key Employee Incentive Plan (B) Non-Insider Retention Plan and (II) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 170], whereby the Bankruptcy Court approved the NIRP, with the exception of the Unresolved Employee, and adjourned the hearing on the KEIP. The Debtors ultimately withdrew its request for entry of (i) the KEIP, and (ii) the NIRP with respect to the Unresolved Employee [Docket No. 189]. 3.6 Sale Transaction (a) The Sale Motion and Bidding Procedures On the Petition Date, the Debtors filed the Motion of Debtors for Entry of (I) an Order Approving (A) Bidding Procedures, (B) Stalking Horse Asset Purchase Agreement and Bid Protections, (C) Form and Manner of Notice of Auction, Sale Transaction, and Sale Hearing, and (D) Assumption and Assignment Procedures, and (II) an Order Approving (A) Sale of Substantially all of Debtors’ Assets Free and Clear of Liens, Claims, Interest, and Encumbrances, (B) Entry into Asset Purchase Agreement, and (C) Assumption and Assignment of Certain Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases [Docket No. 18] (the “Sale Motion”). In the Sale Motion, the Debtors sought Bankruptcy Court authority to consummate the Sale Transaction in accordance with the terms of the Stalking Horse APA, subject to higher and better bids pursuant to court-approved bidding procedures. Further, the Stalking Horse APA provided that the Debtors would assume and assign to Summit certain executory contracts and unexpired leases (collectively, the “Assumed Contracts”) in connection with the Transferred Assets. On September 20, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order Approving (A) Bidding Procedures, (B) Stalking Horse Asset Purchase Agreement and Bid Protections, (C) Form and Manner of Notice of Auction, Sale Transaction, and Sale Hearing, and (D) Assumption and Assignment Procedures [Docket No. 119] (the “Bidding Procedures Order”). The Bidding Procedures Order approved, among other things, as follows: • Bidding procedures in connection with the sale of the Transferred Assets; • The break-up fee and other “Bid Protections” for Summit set forth in the Stalking Horse APA; • A deadline of October 5, 2018 at 4 pm ET (the “Bid Deadline”) for parties other Page 15

(b) Notice of the Sale and Continued Marketing of the Transferred Assets The Debtors filed and served a Notice of Sale, Bidding Procedures, Auction, and Sale Hearing [Docket No. 135] on or around September 21, 2018 setting forth, among other things, information on the bidding procedures and objection deadlines. On September 21, 2018, the Debtors filed the Notice of Proposed Assumption and Assignment of Certain Executory Contracts [Docket No. 137] (the “Cure Notice”) listing the Assumed Contracts to be included in the Transferred Assets, along with related cure amounts. On October 31, 2018, the Debtors filed a Supplemental Notice of Proposed Assumption and Assignment of Certain Executory Contracts [Docket No. 225]. The Debtors continued to aggressively market the Transferred Assets after the Petition Date. Within two days of the Petition Date, Raymond James informed all 258 parties previously contacted in the process, with the exception of the Stalking Horse Bidder, that the Debtors had filed the Chapter 11 Cases, and summarized the proposed process timeline and resolicited interest from these parties. Raymond James also solicited interest from parties who expressed interest in the process post-petition and had not been contacted previously by Raymond James. Following the entry of the Bidding Procedures Order, Raymond James again contacted the 171 parties that had not affirmatively declined post-petition, updating them on the transaction and highlighting key process dates. Raymond James also conducted diligence calls with the three parties that previously submitted IOIs as well as several parties who expressed interest in the Debtors following the Petition Date. Despite Raymond James’ efforts, the Debtors did not receive any Qualified Bids (other than the Stalking Horse Bid) by the Bid Deadline. Accordingly, pursuant to the Bidding Procedures Order, the Debtors did not conduct an auction. (c) Appointment of Consumer Privacy Ombudsman On September 5, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order Directing the Appointment of a Consumer Privacy Ombudsman Under 11 U.S.C. § 332 [Docket No. 55], which directed the U.S. Trustee to appoint a consumer privacy ombudsman (“Ombudsman”) in accordance with 11 U.S.C. § 332. On September 5, 2018, the U.S. Trustee appointed Elise Frejka as the Ombudsman in these Chapter 11 Cases [Docket No. 56]. On October 3, 2018, the Ombudsman filed a report with the Bankruptcy Court [Docket No. 171], recommending that the Sale Transaction with Summit go forward so long as the transfer of protected health information (“PHI”) and personally identifiable information (“PII”) Page 16


 
18-23302-rdd Doc 293 Filed 12/14/18 Entered 12/14/18 15:17:21 Main Document Pg 23 of 106 contemplated thereby complied with the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”). In connection with the Sale Transaction, the Bankruptcy Court found that (a) Summit is a “Covered Entity,” as such term is defined under HIPAA, and is in compliance with HIPAA and the various regulations promulgated thereunder, and (b) the transfer of PII and PHI to Summit was consistent with the recommendations of the Ombudsman. (d) Entry of the Sale Order On October 3, 2018, the Committee filed an objection to the Sale Motion, arguing that the Bankruptcy Court should not approve the sale of the Transferred Assets to Summit under the Stalking Horse APA for several reasons (the “Committee Sale Objections”). The Debtors, the DIP Lenders and Summit resolved the Committee Sale Objections as part of the Global Settlement described in Section 3.8 below. The Debtors also resolved all other limited objections to the Sale Motion and/or the assumption and assignment of contracts thereunder, allowing the sale hearing to proceed on October 9, 2018 on a fully consensual basis. On October 10, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order (I) Approving Purchase Agreement and Related Transition Services Agreement Among Debtors and Purchaser, (II) Authorizing Sale of Certain of Debtors’ Assets Free and Clear of Liens, Claims, Interests, and Encumbrances, (III) Authorizing Assumption and Assignment of Certain Executory Contracts in Connection therewith, and (IV) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 188] (the “Sale Order”). Pursuant to the Sale Order, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Sale Transaction pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement, dated September 25, 2018, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement, dated October 9, 2018 (together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, as may be further amended, modified, supplemented and/or restated as provided therein, the “APA”), which approved the sale of the Transferred Assets to Summit free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances. In addition, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Transition Services Agreement, dated October 10, 2018 (“TSA”), as part of the Sale Order. Also on October 10, 2018, the Debtors closed on the sale of the Transferred Assets to Summit pursuant to the Sale Order. As described in Section 3.9 below, however, pursuant to the TSA, the Debtors are providing interim services for the Transferred Assets to Summit through December 31, 2018. In addition to paying certain administrative and Sale Transaction-related fees, the proceeds from the Sale Transaction were utilized to pay off amounts then-outstanding under the DIP Facilities, all of the amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, and a portion of the amount outstanding under the Term Loan Facility. 3.7 Global Settlement Among Debtors, Committee, Summit, and the DIP Lenders On October 5, 2018, the Debtors, Summit, Committee, and the DIP Lenders reached a comprehensive settlement (the “Global Settlement”) regarding various matters related to the Sale Transaction, post-closing budget issues, and other ancillary issues. Certain of the terms of the Global Settlement were reflected in the Sale Order and the APA. The Global Settlement Page 17

The Estate Remaining Funds, which will be principally used to fund distributions to creditors, will be contributed as follows: (a) $400,000 from the proceeds of the DIP Lenders’ collateral, and (b) $250,000 from Summit through an increase in the consideration set forth in the APA • Increase in Committee’s Professionals Carve-Out; Budget: The “Carve-Out Amount” for the Committee’s Professionals (the “Committee Carve-Out”) set forth in the Final DIP Order will be increased by $250,000, to an aggregate of $550,000. The Committee’s professionals will be allocated $50,000 in the wind- down budget attached as Exhibit D to the Sale Order (the “Wind-Down Budget”) from the closing of the Sale Transaction through the termination date of the TSA. The Committee Carve-Out may be used to compensate the Committee’s professionals for all allowed or allowable fees and disbursements notwithstanding any limitations to use of the Committee Carve-Out contained in the Final DIP Order. • Cap on Debtors’ Professionals’ Fees: The fees of Debtors’ professionals through the effective date of the Plan shall be capped as set forth in (a) the Final DIP Order, (b) the budget attached to the TSA, provided that Phoenix is not capping its TSA fees per its agreement with Summit, and (c) the Wind-Down Budget (collectively, the “Budgets”). Such fees will not be satisfied from the Estate Remaining Funds; provided, however, that the out-of-pocket expenses of such professionals may be paid from the Estate Remaining Funds. • Plan-Related Matters: As part of the Global Settlement, the Debtors will pursue confirmation of a Plan, which will, among other things, (a) disclose that SWK’s claims are separately classified in an impaired class of claims that will vote to accept the Plan and (b) provide that the Committee shall select the plan administrator for the Plan in its sole discretion. Further, the Debtors will satisfy all amounts permitted to be paid by the Taxes Order. • Releases and Waivers of Insider Claims: Pursuant to the terms of the APA, Summit will request releases and waivers of claims against the Debtors from any insiders (excluding the Debtors’ President and CFO) with whom it enters into employment or consulting agreements to the extent that such insiders will also receive releases and waivers of claims from the Debtors; provided, however, that nothing shall prevent Summit from entering into such employment or consulting agreements with any insider in the absence of such releases and waivers being granted. • Waiver of Claim held by Quest: Pursuant to the terms of the Sale Order, Quest Diagnostics, Inc., Summit’s parent, will waive and release any general unsecured claims it may possess against the Debtors’ Estates that arose prior to the Petition Date.

18-23302-rdd Doc 293 Filed 12/14/18 Entered 12/14/18 15:17:21 Main Document Pg 25 of 106 • Disposition of Certain Claims Held by SWK: Pursuant to the terms of the Sale Order, SWK will (a) waive and release any “adequate protection” claim under the Final DIP Order for diminution in value of its collateral or otherwise, and (b) upon receipt of its share of the Sale Proceeds, assign to the Debtors’ Estates, for the benefit of all general unsecured creditors (except Century and its affiliates), its right to recovery on account of the unsecured deficiency claim it possesses against the Debtors’ Estates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SWK will retain the right to vote on the Plan on account of such Deficiency Claim. • Termination of Challenge Period; Release of Claims Against DIP Lenders: Pursuant to the terms of the Sale Order, the Committee will (a) stipulate to the termination of the Challenge Period (as defined in the Final DIP Order) and (b) waive and release any and all claims against (i) each of the DIP Lenders and (ii) any predecessors, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, managers, members, affiliates, transferees, successors, and assigns of any of the DIP Lenders. The Stipulations (as defined in the Final DIP Order) will be immediately final and binding on the Committee and third parties, and any and all rights under section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code against the DIP Lenders will be waived pursuant to the terms of the Sale Order. • Immediate Standing Granted to the Committee: Pursuant to the terms of the Sale Order, the Committee will be granted immediate standing without the requirement of seeking relief under In re STN Enter., Inc., 779 F.2d 901 (2d Cir. 1985), to investigate, prosecute, and compromise claims and causes of action of the Debtors’ Estates that are not released or transferred pursuant to the Final DIP Order, Sale Transaction, or the terms of the Sale Order. 3.8 Transition Services Agreement In conjunction with the closing of the Sale Transaction, on October 10, 2018, Summit and the Debtors executed the TSA to ensure a seamless transition of the Debtors’ business operations. Under the terms of the TSA, the Debtors are required to provide interim services to Summit through December 31, 2018. The TSA gives Summit access to the Debtors’ capabilities and resources, including skilled employees and consultants, necessary to provide uninterrupted services to customers. The TSA is designed to be net neutral to the Debtors’ estates. That is, Summit is required to reimburse the Debtors’ estates for any expenses associated with the interim services provided under the TSA in accordance with an agreed-upon TSA budget. The TSA not only ensures a smooth post-closing transition of the Debtors’ business, but also preserves a number of key jobs for existing employees of the Debtors at least through December 31, 2018. Specifically, the TSA contemplates that the Debtors will make available the services of at least such number of their employees through December 31, 2018 so as to prevent a “mass layoff” and/or “plant closing” (each as defined in the Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, 29 U.S.C. § 2101, et seq., the “WARN Act”) as a result of the Sale Transaction. As described in more detail below, the Debtors issued notices under the WARN Act for the mass layoff expected to occur upon the termination of the TSA. The TSA, which became effective on October 10, 2018, will continue in effect until Page 19

On September 20, the Debtors filed their Schedules, each in the applicable Debtor case. 3.10 Contract Rejections The Debtors sold a substantial amount of their Executory Contracts to Summit pursuant to the Sale Transaction. For those Executory Contracts that are not Assumed Contracts, the Debtors evaluated the necessity and cost-efficiency of such Executory Contracts for the Debtors’ operations in these chapter 11 cases. On November 30, 2018, the Debtors filed the Debtors’ First Omnibus Motion for Entry of an Order (I) Authorizing the Debtors to Reject Certain Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, and (II) Granting Certain Related Relief [Docket No. 269]; Debtors’ Second Omnibus Motion for Entry of an Order (I) Authorizing the Debtors to Reject Certain Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, and (II) Granting Certain Related Relief [Docket No. 270]; and Debtors’ Third Omnibus Motion for Entry of an Order (I) Authorizing the Debtors to Reject Certain Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, and (II) Granting Certain Related Relief [Docket No. 271]. On December 4, 2018, the Debtors filed the Debtors’ Fourth Omnibus Motion for Entry of an Order (I) Authorizing the Debtors to Reject Certain Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, and (II) Granting Certain Related Relief [Docket No. 276] (collectively, the “Rejection Motions”). Pursuant to the Rejection Motions, the Debtors sought authority to reject approximately 270 executory contracts and unexpired leases, effective as of either November 30, 2018 or December 31, 2018. The Rejection Motions are scheduled to be heard in from the Bankruptcy Court on December 21, 2018. 3.11 Claims Bar Date On November 1, 2018 the Bankruptcy Court entered its Order (I) Setting Bar Dates for Submitting Proofs of Claim, (II) Approving Procedures for Submitting Proofs of Claim, and (III) Approving Notice Thereof [Docket No. 226] (the “Bar Date Order”) approving: (a) December 14, 2018, at 5:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time), as the deadline for all non-governmental units (as defined in section 101(27) of the Bankruptcy Code) to file proofs of claims, including claims asserts under section 503(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, in these chapter 11 cases; (b) February 25, 2019, at 5:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) as the deadline for all governmental units to file proofs of claims in these chapter 11 cases; (c) procedures for filing proofs of claims; and (d) the form and manner of notice of the applicable bar dates. Any creditor whose Claim is not scheduled on the Schedules or whose Claim is scheduled as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated must file a proof of claim in accordance with the Bar Date Order. Because the resolution process for the Claims is currently ongoing, the Claims figured identified in this Disclosure Statement represent estimates only and, in particular, the estimated Page 20

The WARN Notices informed employees that, while Summit may offer them employment after the TSA expires, the Debtors cannot guarantee continuing employment to them after December 31, 2018. Specifically, the WARN Notices informed employees that (a) the Debtors would cease all of their operations at their facilities located at 560 North Rogers Road, Olathe, Kansas 66062 and 42 Ladd Street, Unit 117, Warwick, Rhode Island, 02818, and all positions will be eliminated and the employment of all individuals with the Debtors will be terminated on December 31, 2018 or within 14 days thereafter; (b) the layoffs are expected to be permanent; and (c) the Debtors’ policies for full-time employees do not allow for bumping rights such that employees will not be able to displace more junior employees out of their job positions as a result of the closure. As required by the WARN Act, the Debtors also sent notices regarding the expected mass layoff to the mayor of Olathe, Kansas; the Kansas Department of Commerce; the city manager of East Greenwich, Rhode Island; the mayor of Warwick, Rhode Island; and the Rhode Island Department of Labor & Training. 3.13 Committee Adversary Complaint On November 19, 2018, the Committee, through its special litigation counsel, filed the Complaint to Avoid and Recover Preferential Transfers and Object to Claims [Docket No. 253]; [Adversary Proceeding No. 18-08292, Docket No. 1] (the “Adversary Complaint”). Through the Adversary Complaint, the Committee is seeking to (a) avoid preferential transfers to Century and certain of its related funds and entities, Frank Bazos, Jim Foreman, and Paul Daoust (collectively, the “Defendants”) and (b) object to the Defendants’ claims. In the Adversary Complaint, the Committee alleges that the Defendants, which were the single largest shareholder of the Debtors and some of whom are Century-designated members of the Debtors’ board, improperly caused the Debtors to pay off approximately $2 million in loans before the maturity date to the detriment of the Debtors’ creditors. Further, the Committee challenges transfers made to the individual Defendants related to their role as members of the Debtors’ board. ARTICLE IV SUMMARY OF THE PLAN 4.1 Introduction While chapter 11 is principally recognized as the “business reorganization” chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, it has long been recognized that a debtor may liquidate under chapter 11 as Page 21


 
18-23302-rdd Doc 293 Filed 12/14/18 Entered 12/14/18 15:17:21 Main Document Pg 28 of 106 well. The purpose of the Plan is to provide for the orderly wind-down of the Debtors’ operations, the remaining liquidation of the Debtors’ assets, and the orderly distribution of the Debtors’ remaining assets to creditors. THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF THE DEBTORS’ PLAN. ANY PARTY IN INTEREST CONSIDERING WHETHER TO VOTE ON THE PLAN SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THE PLAN IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE MAKING SUCH DETERMINATION. IF THERE IS ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THIS SUMMARY AND THE PLAN, THE PLAN CONTROLS. 4.2 Overview of the Plan (a) Compromise of Controversies Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the classification, distribution and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of this Plan shall constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all Claims or controversies resolved pursuant to the Plan. The entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of any such compromise or settlement, and the Bankruptcy Court’s findings shall constitute its determination that such compromises and settlements are in the best interests of the Debtors, the Liquidating Debtor and the Estates. (b) Substantive Consolidation; Merger The Plan constitutes a request, pursuant to section 1123(a)(5)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code, for approval of the merger of each of the Debtors into Hooper Holmes. After the merger, Hooper Holmes shall become the Liquidating Debtor at the Effective Date. The Debtors also are requesting that the Bankruptcy Court approve the substantive consolidation of the Debtors and their Estates. If approved by the Bankruptcy Court, under substantive consolidation, all assets and liabilities of the Debtors shall be treated as though they were merged into the Estate of Hooper Holmes. All Intercompany Claims and Administrative Expenses by and between the Debtors shall not be entitled to any Distributions. Also, any guarantee by any Debtor as well as any joint and several liability of any Debtor shall be treated as one obligation of the consolidated Debtors. Even if the Bankruptcy Court does not approve the substantive consolidation of the Debtors, the Plan still provides that there will be no Distributions made on account of any Intercompany Claims and Administrative Expenses between and among any of the Debtors. In addition, the Plan provides that no Distributions shall be made under the Plan on account of any Intercompany Claim of the Debtors regardless of whether the substantive consolidation and merger are approved. For all purposes associated with Confirmation, including without limitation, for purposes of tallying acceptances and rejections of the Plan all guarantees or Claims for contribution or subrogation between the Debtors, individually or collectively, will be eliminated. Holders of Intercompany Claims also will not be entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. The Debtors also reserve the right to proceed with Confirmation, even if the Bankruptcy Court does not approve substantive consolidation for all Debtors or for some of the Debtors. Page 22

All property of the Estates constituting the Liquidating Trust Assets are to be conveyed and transferred by the Debtors or Liquidating Debtor to the Liquidating Trust on the Effective Date, free and clear of all interests, Claims, Liens and encumbrances.

Class 6 Description: Class 7B shall consist of all other Claims subject to subordination. Treatment: The Holders of Class 7B Claims shall receive no Distributions of any kind under the Plan in respect of those Class 7B Claims. Voting: Class 7B is Impaired under the Plan, and Holders of Class 7B Claims shall be deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, such Holders are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. 4.5 Subordinated Claims The allowance, classification, and treatment of all Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests and the respective distributions and treatments under the Plan take into account and 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, section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise. Pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors or, following the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trust, reserve the right to re-classify any Allowed Claim in accordance with any contractual, legal, or equitable subordination relating thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan gives effect to the Subordination Agreement and the fact that Century is not entitled to a recovery under the Subordinated Promissory Note until SWK is paid in full under the Term Loan Facility. As SWK did not receive a full recovery from the Sale Proceeds and will not receive a recovery that will repay the Term Loan Facility in full, Century is not entitled to a recovery under the Subordination Agreement and the Plan. Therefore, all Century Claims are classified in Class 7A as a subordinated Claim that will not receive a recovery under the Plan. The Debtors believe the classification of Century Claims in Class 7A appropriately classifies the Century Claims in accordance with the terms of the Subordination Agreement and the Global Settlement. 4.6 Means for Implementation of the Plan In addition to the provisions set forth elsewhere in the Plan, the following shall constitute the means for implementation of the Plan. (a) Debtors’ Boards; Wind-Down and Dissolution.

(c) Execution and Ratification of Trust Agreement The Liquidating Trust Agreement, once executed by all necessary parties thereto, shall be deemed to have been ratified by each holder of a Claim and such Holders shall be bound by the terms of the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Causes of Action transferred to the Liquidating Trust shall not include those Chapter 5 Causes of Action expressly released or compromised as part of or pursuant to the Plan, the Confirmation Order, the Sale Order, or other order of the Bankruptcy Court.

The Confirmation Order shall, except as otherwise provided therein, constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such rejection. (c) Bar Date for Rejection Damages If the rejection of a Rejected Contract gives rise to a Claim by the other party or parties to such contract or lease, such Claim shall be classified as a Class 4 General Unsecured Claim; provided, however, that any Claim arising from the rejection of a Rejected Contract pursuant to Section 6.8 of the Plan shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors, the Liquidating Trust, their affiliates, their successors, estates, or their properties, unless a proof of Claim is Filed and served on the Debtors or the Liquidating Trust, as applicable, by the Rejection Claims Bar Date. 4.8 Cancellation and Surrender of Existing Debt Instruments, Interests and other Securities.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, any Plan Document or the Confirmation Order, each holder of a Miscellaneous Secured Claim Lien or any other Secured Claim Lien or judgment Lien shall be deemed to release such Liens and shall execute such documents and instruments as the Debtors or Liquidating Trustee reasonably requests to evidence such Claim holder’s release of such property or Lien. On or prior to the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Debtors or Liquidating Trustee, as applicable, may take all actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect any transaction described in, approved by, contemplated by, or necessary to effectuate the Plan Page 31

Effective November 30, 2018, the Hooper Holmes 401(k) Plan shall be terminated in accordance with the operating documents governing the Hooper Holmes 401(k) Plan. Upon the Hooper Holmes 401(k) Plan Termination Date, all contributions to the Hooper Holmes 401(k) Plan, to the extent not previously discontinued, shall cease with respect to Hooper Holmes 401(k) Plan participant compensation earned on or after November 30, 2018. All Hooper Holmes 401(k) Plan participant accounts shall be payable to the Hooper Holmes 401(k) Plan participants as soon as practicable pursuant to such terms and conditions in the operating documents governing the Hooper Holmes 401(k) Plan that were effective immediately prior to the Hooper Holmes 401(k) Plan Termination Date. The Debtors and the Liquidating Trustee, upon the Effective Date, shall perform all necessary actions to wind-down the Hooper Holmes 401(k) Plan, including, but not limited to, retaining professionals to audit the Hooper Holmes 401(k) Plan and the PHS 401(k) Plan for applicable years, filing all necessary forms and reports with the appropriate Governmental Unit, and executing such documents necessary for the termination and wind-down of the Hooper Holmes 401(k) Plan. Such expenses related to the termination and wind-down of the Hooper Holmes 401(k) Plan and the PHS 401(k) Plan, including the performance of required audits and necessary filings, were funded pro rata from the Hooper Holmes 401(k) Plan participants’ assets in the Hooper Holmes 401(k) Plan, in accordance with the terms of the Hooper Holmes 401(k) Plan’s operating documents. 4.11 Objections. Objections, if any, to the allowance of Claims (excluding objections to the allowance of Administrative Expenses), other than Claims that have been previously Allowed or are Allowed pursuant to this Plan may be Filed by the Liquidating Trust at any time on or before the Claim Objection Deadline. The “Claim Objection Deadline” shall be the latest of (a) 120 days after the Effective Date, (b) thirty (30) days after the Filing of the proof of such Claim to which the objection is directed, or (c) such other date as may be extended by order of the Bankruptcy Court (the application for which may be made on an ex parte basis). Any such objection shall be filed and served in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules and the local rules of the Bankruptcy Court. 4.12 Amendments to Claims; Claims Filed After the Confirmation Date. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or an order of the Bankruptcy Court, after the Confirmation Date, no proof of Claim may be Filed or amended except to decrease the Face Amount thereof of such Claim. Unless otherwise provided for herein or order of the Bankruptcy Court, any new or amended Claim Filed after the Confirmation Date shall be deemed Disallowed in full and expunged without any action by the Debtors or the Liquidating Trust 4.13 Reserves and Estimations. (a) Disputed Claims Reserve Page 32


 
18-23302-rdd Doc 293 Filed 12/14/18 Entered 12/14/18 15:17:21 Main Document Pg 39 of 106 (i) In determining the amount of Distributions to be made under the Plan to the holders of Allowed Claims, the Liquidating Trustee shall establish the Disputed Claims Reserve. The Liquidating Trustee shall distribute to and maintain Cash in the Disputed Claims Reserve that would otherwise be distributable to holders of Disputed Claims, assuming such Disputed Claims would be Allowed in the Face Amount of such Claims. Disputed Claims rendered duplicative as a result of the consolidation of the Debtors shall only be counted once for purposes of establishing the amount of the Disputed Claims Reserve. (ii) In determining the Face Amount of Disputed Claims in accordance with the Plan, the Liquidating Trustee may rely on the Debtors’ estimates as to Disputed Claims and will have no liability therefor in the absence of bad faith or gross negligence. As Disputed Claims are resolved, the Liquidating Trustee shall make adjustments to the Disputed Claims Reserve. Except as otherwise agreed by the relevant parties, the Liquidating Trustee shall not be required to (a) make any partial payments or partial distributions on account of a Disputed Claim until all such disputes in connection with such Disputed Claim have been resolved by settlement or Final Order or (b) make any distributions on account of an Allowed Claim of any Liquidating Trust Beneficiary that holds both an Allowed Claim and a Disputed Claim, unless and until all objections to the Disputed Claim have been resolved by settlement or Final Order. (b) Claim Estimates Upon a request for estimation by the Debtors or the Liquidating Trust, the Bankruptcy Court will determine what amount of Cash from the initial and subsequent Distributions is sufficient to reserve on account of any Disputed Claim not otherwise treated in the Plan, pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law, in which event the amount so determined will be deemed the Allowed amount of such Disputed Claim for purposes of this Plan, or, in lieu thereof, the Bankruptcy Court will determine the maximum amount for such Disputed Claim, which amount will be the maximum amount in which such Claim may ultimately be Allowed, if such Claim is Allowed in whole or in part. If the Debtors or the Liquidating Trust elect not to request such an estimation from the Bankruptcy Court with respect to a Disputed Claim that is liquidated, the Debtors or the Liquidating Trust, as applicable, will reserve Cash based on the Face Amount of such Claim until the Claim is Allowed by an order of the Bankruptcy Court, at which time the reserve amount pending a Final Order may be the amount so Allowed. 4.14 Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions. (a) If a holder of an Allowed Claim fails to negotiate a check issued to such holder pursuant to this Plan within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date such check was forwarded to such Holder, the Liquidating Trust shall issue a “stop payment order” for that non- negotiated check. The amount attributable to that non-negotiated check shall be deemed vested in the Liquidating Trust, and the payee of such check and holder of such Claim shall be deemed to have no further Claim and will not participate in any further Distributions under the Plan. (b) If a Distribution under the Plan to any Holder of an Allowed Claim is returned to the Liquidating Trust due to an incorrect address and such holder does not present itself within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date such check was forwarded to said holder (if the Liquidating Trustee with reasonable diligence can identify a correct address), the amount Page 33

(a) Any property or notice other than Cash Distributions which an Entity is or becomes entitled to receive pursuant to the Plan shall be delivered by regular mail, postage prepaid, in an envelope addressed to that Entity at the address indicated on any notice of appearance Filed by that Entity or his authorized agent prior to the Effective Date. If no notice of appearance has been Filed, notice shall be sent to the address indicated on a properly Filed proof of Claim or, absent such a proof of Claim, the address that is listed on the Schedules for that Entity. The date of Distribution shall be the date of mailing, and property distributed in accordance with this Section shall be deemed delivered to such Entity regardless of whether such property is actually received by that Entity (b) A Holder of a Claim or Interest may designate a different address for notices and Distributions by notifying the Liquidating Trustee of that address in writing. The new address shall be effective upon receipt by the Liquidating Trustee. 4.16 Withholding Taxes. In connection with the Plan and all distributions thereunder, the Liquidating Trustee shall comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority, and all Distributions under the Plan shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. The Liquidating Trustee shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including, without limitation, liquidating a portion of any Distribution to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes or establishing any other mechanisms the Liquidating Trustee believes are reasonable and appropriate, including requiring a Holder of a Claim to submit appropriate tax and withholding certifications. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, each Holder of an Allowed Claim that is to receive a Distribution under the Plan shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any governmental unit, including income, withholding and other tax obligations on account of such distribution. 4.17 Set-offs. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, agreements entered into in connection with the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or in agreements previously approved by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors or, following the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trust, may, but will not be required to, setoff against any Claim and the Distributions made with respect to the Claim, before any Distribution is made on account of such Claim, any and all of the claims, rights and Causes of Action of any nature that the Debtors may hold against the Holder of such Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to effect such a setoff, the allowance of any Claim hereunder, any other action or omission of the Debtors or the Liquidating Trust, nor shall any provision of the Plan, constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors or the Liquidating Trust of any such claims, rights and Causes of Action that the Debtors or the Liquidating Trust may possess against such Holder. To the extent the Debtors or the Liquidating Trust fail to offset Page 34

The Plan preserves all Causes of Action, except for the Transferred Chapter 5 Claims or those Causes of Action released in the Confirmation Order or the Plan or otherwise expressly released or assigned by an order of this Bankruptcy Court, and provides for them to be transferred to the Liquidating Trust on the Effective Date of the Plan. Pursuant to § 1123(b)(3), the Liquidating Trust (as successor to the Debtors’ Estates) shall retain and have the exclusive right to enforce against any Entity any and all Causes of Action of the Debtors or their Estates (including, without limitation, all Chapter 5 Causes of Action) that arose before the Effective Date, including all Causes of Action of a trustee and a debtor in possession under the Bankruptcy Code; and each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest shall contribute to the Liquidating Trust their interests in the Causes of Action, and the Liquidating Trust shall be authorized as the representative of the Estates to pursue such Causes of Action. For the avoidance of doubt, the Causes of Action shall not include those Chapter 5 Causes of Action expressly released or compromised as part of or pursuant to the Plan, the Confirmation Order, the Sale Order, or other order of the Bankruptcy Court. The Causes of Action retained by the Liquidating Trust include, without limitation, all Causes of Action listed on Exhibit B to this Disclosure Statement. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THOSE CAUSES OF ACTION THAT ARE RELEASED OR WAIVED UNDER THE SALE ORDER, THE CONFIRMATION ORDER, OR OTHER ORDER OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT, ALL CAUSES OF ACTION OF THE DEBTORS AND THEIR ESTATES, WHETHER OR NOT SPECIFIED HEREIN, WILL BE PRESERVED AND TRANSFERRED TO THE LIQUIDATING TRUST PURSUANT TO THE PLAN. THE LACK OF DISCLOSURE OF ANY PARTICULAR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE, NOR BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE, A RELEASE OR WAIVER OF SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION, AS THE DEBTORS INTEND FOR THE PLAN TO PRESERVE AND TRANSFER TO THE LIQUIDATING TRUST ANY AND ALL CAUSES OF ACTION HELD BY THE DEBTORS AND THEIR ESTATES AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE PLAN. 4.19 Exculpation Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the post-petition officers and directors of the Debtors, the Debtors’ Professionals, the Creditors’ Committee, the members of the Creditors’ Committee and the Creditors’ Committee’s Professionals shall not have or incur any liability to any holder of a Claim or Interest for any act, event, or omission in connection with, or arising out of, the Chapter 11 Cases, formulating, negotiating, soliciting, preparing, disseminating, confirming, or implementing the Plan, consummating the Plan, or the administration of the Plan or the property to be distributed under the Plan; provided, however, that no such party shall be released from any act or Page 35

The Plan also lists certain conditions precedent for the occurrence of the Effective Date. The Debtors may waive one or more of the conditions to the occurrence of the Effective Date with the consent of the Committee. 4.23 Effects of Plan Confirmation Upon Confirmation and pursuant to section 1141(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the provisions of the Plan shall bind the Debtors, the Creditors’ Committee, and all Holders of Claims and Interests, including their successors and assigns, whether or not they vote to accept or reject the Plan. The Claims and Distributions under the Plan are in full and complete settlement of all Claims and Interests. ARTICLE V CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN AND SECURITIES LAW CONSIDERATIONS 5.1 Generally The following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences to the Debtors and certain Holders of Claims of the implementation of the Plan and the formation of and conveyances to the Liquidating Trust. This summary is for general information purposes only, and should not be relied upon for purposes of determining the specific tax consequences of the Plan with respect to any particular Debtor or Holder of a Claim. This discussion does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential tax considerations. The discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”), Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and published administrative rules and pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), all as in effect on the date hereof. Legislative, judicial or administrative changes or new interpretations enacted or promulgated after the date hereof could alter or modify the analyses set forth below with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan. Any such changes or new interpretations may have retroactive effect and could significantly affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan described below. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan are complex and are subject to significant uncertainties. The Debtors have not requested a ruling from the IRS or an opinion of counsel with respect to any of the tax aspects of the Plan or the formation of and conveyances to the Liquidating Trust. Thus, no assurance can be given as to the interpretation that the IRS will adopt. In addition, this discussion does not address any U.S. federal estate or gift tax considerations, the Medicare tax on net investment income, or any foreign, state or local tax consequences, nor does it purport to address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan or the formation of and conveyances to the Liquidating Trust to: (i) special classes of Page 37


 
18-23302-rdd Doc 293 Filed 12/14/18 Entered 12/14/18 15:17:21 Main Document Pg 44 of 106 taxpayers (such as, but not limited to, Persons who are related to the Debtors within the meaning of the Tax Code, non-U.S. persons, broker-dealers, banks, mutual funds, insurance companies, financial institutions, small business investment companies, regulated investment companies, tax-exempt organizations, and investors in pass-through entities and Holders of Claims or Interests who are themselves in bankruptcy); or (ii) Holders not entitled to vote on the Plan, including Holders whose Claims or Interests are to be extinguished without any Distribution. To the extent that the following discussion relates to the U.S. federal income tax consequences to Holders of Claims or Interests, it is limited to “U.S. Holders.” For purposes of the following discussion, you are a “U.S. Holder” if, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, you are: (a) an individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (b) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that was created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (c) an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of the source of such income; or (d) a trust (1) if a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over the trust’s administration and one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Tax Code) have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Tax Code). For purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is any Holder of a Claim that is not a U.S. Holder other than any partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes). If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a Holder of a Claim, the tax treatment of a partner (or other beneficial owner) generally will depend upon the status of the partner (or other beneficial owner) and the activities of the partner (or other beneficial owner) and the entity. Partners (or other beneficial owners) of partnerships (or other pass-through entities) that are Holders of Claims should consult with their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan. This discussion assumes that Holders of Claims or Interests hold only Claims or Interests in a single Class. Holders of multiple Classes of Claims or Interests should consult their own tax advisors as to the effect such ownership may have on the U.S. federal income tax consequences described below. This discussion further assumes that the various debt and other arrangements to which the Debtors are a party will be respected for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with their form. THIS SUMMARY IS NOT INTENDED TO BE, AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS, LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE TO ANY DEBTOR OR HOLDER OF CLAIMS OR INTERESTS. THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. THE TAX CONSEQUENCES ARE IN MANY CASES UNCERTAIN AND MAY VARY DEPENDING ON A HOLDER OF CLAIM’S PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES. THE DEBTORS AND HOLDERS OF CLAIMS OR INTERESTS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES AND ANY OTHER POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALITY OR OTHER RELEVANT TAXING JURISDICTION ARISING FROM THE Page 38


 
18-23302-rdd Doc 293 Filed 12/14/18 Entered 12/14/18 15:17:21 Main Document Pg 45 of 106 PLAN. 5.2 Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to the Debtors The Debtors will generally realize gain or loss on the sale, or transfer to the Liquidating Trust, of substantially all of their assets, not previously sold to Summit pursuant to the APA and the Sale Order, equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized on the sale of the assets sold or transferred to the Liquidating Trust, and (ii) their adjusted tax basis in the assets sold or transferred. The character of any gain or loss as capital or ordinary, and in the case of capital gain or loss, as short term or long term, will depend upon the nature of assets sold or transferred and the Debtors’ holding period for the assets. Generally, if a debt for which a debtor is personally liable is forgiven or discharged for less than the full amount owed, the debt is considered canceled for the amount it remained unpaid (“COD income”), and must be included in such debtor’s gross income. However, under certain exceptions, COD income may be excluded from a debtor’s gross income. A specific statutory exception applies to certain debtors if the discharge of indebtedness is granted in a case under Title 11 of the United States Code (relating to bankruptcy) and pursuant to a plan approved by a bankruptcy court in such case. A separate exception applies to taxpayers if the discharge occurs when the taxpayer is insolvent. Section 108 of the Tax Code requires the amount of COD income so excluded from gross income to be applied to reduce certain tax attributes of the taxpayer. Attribute reduction is calculated only after the tax for the year of the discharge has been determined. Section 108 of the Tax Code further provides that a taxpayer does not realize COD income from cancellation of indebtedness to the extent that payment of such indebtedness would have given rise to a deduction. Under the Plan, certain Holders of Claims are expected to receive less than full payment on their Claims. The Debtor’s liability to the holders of such Claims in excess of the amount satisfied by Distributions under the Plan will be cancelled and therefore will result in COD income to the Debtor. To the extent that the consideration issued to Holders of Claims pursuant to the Plan is attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, the Debtors should be entitled to interest deductions in the amount of such accrued interest, but only to the extent the Debtors have not already deducted such amounts. The Debtors should not have COD income from the discharge of any accrued but unpaid interest pursuant to the Plan to the extent that the payment of such interest would have given rise to a deduction pursuant to Section 108(e)(2) of the Tax Code. For the foregoing reasons, the precise amount of taxable gain or loss, COD income, or both, which the Debtors will realize as a result of effectuation of the Plan cannot be determined until the date of the transfer to the Liquidating Trust. 5.3 Tax Consequences to Creditors The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the implementation of the Plan and formation of the Liquidating Trust to a creditor of the Debtors (a “Creditor”) will depend on a number of factors, including the type of consideration received by the Creditor in exchange for its Claim, whether the Creditor reports income on the accrual or cash basis, whether the Creditor receives consideration in more than one tax year of the Creditor, whether the Creditor is a resident of the United States and whether all consideration received by the Creditor is deemed to Page 39


 
18-23302-rdd Doc 293 Filed 12/14/18 Entered 12/14/18 15:17:21 Main Document Pg 46 of 106 be received by that Creditor in an integrated transaction. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the receipt of Cash or property that is allocable to accrued interest are discussed below in the section entitled “Receipt of Interest.” (a) Receipt of Cash and Other Property A Creditor who receives Cash and/or other property (including Liquidating Trust Assets deemed received as discussed below) in satisfaction of its Claim generally will recognize gain (or loss) on the exchange equal to the difference between the amount realized (not allocable to interest) and the Creditor’s adjusted tax basis in its Claim. The character of any gain or loss as capital or ordinary income or loss and, in the case of capital gain or loss, as short-term or long- term, will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the nature and origin of the Claim (e.g., Claims arising in the ordinary course of a trade or business or made for investment purposes); (ii) the tax status of the Holder of the Claim; (iii) whether the Claim is a capital asset in the hands of the Holder; (iv) whether the Claim has been held by the Holder for more than one year; (v) the extent to which the Holder previously claimed a loss or a bad debt deduction with respect to the Claim; and (vi) the extent to which the Holder acquired the Claim at a market discount. Creditors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the amount and character of gain or loss, if any, to be recognized by them under the Plan. (b) Receipt of Interest Pursuant to the Plan, all Distributions in respect of any Claim will be allocated first to the principal amount of such Claim, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds such amount, to any portion of such Claim representing accrued but unpaid interest. However, there is no assurance that the IRS will respect such allocation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A portion of the consideration received by a Holder of a Claim in satisfaction of that Claim pursuant to the Plan may be allocated to the portion of such Claim (if any) that represents accrued but unpaid interest. If any portion of the Distribution is required to be allocated to accrued interest, such portion would be taxable to the Holder as interest income, except to the extent the Holder has previously reported such interest as income. A Holder will generally recognize a loss to the extent that any accrued interest was previously included in the Holder’s gross income and is not paid in full. In the event that a portion of the consideration received by a Holder of a Claim is treated by the tax authorities as accrued but unpaid interest (as opposed to principal treatment by such holder), only the balance of the Distribution would be considered received by the Holder in respect of the principal amount of the Claim. Such an allocation would reduce the amount of the gain, or increase the amount of loss, realized by the Holder with respect to the Claim. If any such loss were a capital loss, it would not offset any amount of the Distribution that was treated as ordinary interest income (except, in the case of individuals, to the limited extent that capital losses may be deducted against ordinary income). To the extent that any portion of the Distribution is treated as interest, Holders may be required to provide certain tax information in order to avoid or reduce the withholding of taxes, if any.

18-23302-rdd Doc 293 Filed 12/14/18 Entered 12/14/18 15:17:21 Main Document Pg 47 of 106 (c) Market Discount The Tax Code generally requires Holders of debt instruments with “market discount” to treat as ordinary income any gain realized on the disposition of such debt instruments to the extent of the market discount accrued during the Holder’s period of ownership. “Market discount” generally means the amount by which the stated redemption price at maturity exceeds the Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such debt instrument. Holders should consult their own tax advisors as to the potential application of the market discount rules to them in light of their individual circumstances. (d) Backup Withholding Under the Tax Code, interest, dividends and other “reportable payments” may, under certain circumstances, be subject to “backup withholding.” Backup withholding may apply to payments made pursuant to the Plan, unless you provide to the applicable withholding agent your taxpayer identification number, certified under penalties of perjury, as well as certain other information, or otherwise establish an exemption from backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld under the backup withholding rules is allowable as a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, and a refund may be obtained from the IRS if the amounts withheld exceed your actual U.S. federal income tax liability and you timely provide the required information or appropriate claim form to the IRS. 5.4 Tax Consequences to Holders of Interests Under the Plan, all Interests will be cancelled. The Holders of Interests will receive no consideration with respect to such cancellation and will generally recognize a loss equal to the Holder’s tax basis in its Interests. Any such loss will generally be a capital loss and will be a long-term capital loss if the Interests were held for more than one year. 5.5 Tax Consequences of the Liquidating Trust (a) Purpose and Intent of Liquidating Trust. The primary purpose of the Liquidating Trust is to liquidate the Liquidating Trust Assets in an expeditious and prudent manner, and all activities of the Liquidating Trustee will be limited to those activities reasonably necessary to, and consistent with, the accomplishment of that purpose. (b) Tax Characterization. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Liquidating Trust shall be structured to qualify as a “liquidating trust” under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-4(d) and in compliance with Revenue Procedure 94-45. Thus, the Liquidating Trust shall be structured as a “grantor trust” within the meaning of Sections 671 through 679 of the Tax Code. The Liquidating Trust shall not continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business, except to the extent reasonably necessary to, and consistent with, the liquidating purpose of the trust.

18-23302-rdd Doc 293 Filed 12/14/18 Entered 12/14/18 15:17:21 Main Document Pg 48 of 106 For all U.S. federal income tax purposes, all parties (including, without limitation, the Debtors, the Liquidating Trustee and the Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries) shall treat the transfer of the Liquidating Trust Assets to the Liquidating Trust as (a) a deemed transfer by each Debtor of the Liquidating Trust Assets directly to the Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries in full satisfaction of the Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries’ Claims against and Interests in the Debtors and, to the extent Liquidating Trust Assets are allocable to Disputed Claims, to the Disputed Claim Reserve, followed by (b) the deemed transfer by such Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries to the Liquidating Trust of the Liquidating Trust Assets (other than the Liquidating Trust Assets allocable to the Disputed Claim Reserve) in exchange for interests in the Liquidating Trust. Accordingly, the Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries shall be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as the grantors and owners of their respective share of the Liquidating Trust Assets (other than Liquidating Trust Assets allocable to the Disputed Claim Reserve). The foregoing treatment shall also apply, to the extent permitted by applicable law, for all state, provincial, territorial and local income tax purposes. The Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries generally will recognize gain or loss in its taxable year that includes the Effective Date in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized in respect of satisfaction of its Claim and its adjusted tax basis in such Claim. The amount realized by a Holder of a Claim will equal the fair market value of the Liquidating Trust Assets deemed received in respect of such Claim, less the amount, if any, attributable to accrued but unpaid interest. Such a Holder of a Claim will then have a tax basis in such Liquidating Trust Assets in an amount equal to the fair market value of such Liquidating Trust Assets on the date of receipt, less the amount, if any, attributable to accrued but unpaid interest. (c) Tax Reporting. The Liquidating Trustee shall prepare and provide to, or file with, the appropriate taxing authorities and other parties such notices, tax returns and other filings, including all federal, state and local tax returns for the Liquidating Trust, as may be required under the Tax Code, the Plan or as may be required by applicable law of other jurisdictions including, if required under applicable law, notices required to report interest or dividend income (the “Tax Reports”). The Liquidating Trustee shall treat the Liquidating Trust as a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.671-4(a) and in accordance with the Plan. The Liquidating Trustee also will annually send to each Liquidating Trust Beneficiary a separate statement regarding the receipts and expenditures of the Liquidating Trust as relevant for all U.S. federal income tax purposes and will instruct all such Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries to use such information in preparing their U.S. federal income tax returns or to forward the appropriate information to such Liquidating Trust Beneficiary’s underlying beneficial holders with instructions to utilize such information in preparing their U.S. federal income tax returns. If additional tax information is provided at the specific request of a Liquidating Trust Beneficiary (and not as required by applicable law), then such Liquidating Trust Beneficiary shall pay a reasonable fee to the Liquidating Trustee, in an amount to be then determined by the Liquidating Trustee, together with all costs and expenses incurred by the Liquidating Trustee in providing such tax information to such Liquidating Trust Beneficiary. The Liquidating Trustee shall also file (or cause to be filed) any other statement, return or disclosure relating to the Liquidating Trust that is required by any governmental units in the U.S. and elsewhere. The Liquidating Trustee may require any Liquidating Trust Beneficiary to furnish to the Page 42

The Liquidating Trustee will in good faith value all Liquidating Trust Assets, and shall make all such values available from time to time, to the extent relevant, and such values shall be used consistently by all parties to the Liquidating Trust (including, without limitation, the Debtors, the Liquidating Trustee and the Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries) for all U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Liquidating Trustee and the recipients of Liquidating Trust Assets must consistently use the valuation of the Liquidating Trust Assets, as determined by the Liquidating Trustee, for all U.S. federal income tax purposes. Subject to definitive guidance from the IRS or a court of competent jurisdiction to the contrary (including the receipt by the Liquidating Trustee of a private letter ruling if the Liquidating Trustee so requests one, or the receipt of an adverse determination by the IRS upon audit if not contested by the Liquidating Trustee), the Liquidating Trustee shall (a) timely elect to treat any Disputed Claim Reserve as a “disputed ownership fund” governed by Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-9, and (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, report consistently with the foregoing for state and local income tax purposes. All parties (including the Liquidating Trustee, the Debtors and the Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries) shall report for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes consistently with the foregoing. The Liquidating Trustee shall be responsible for payment, out of the Liquidating Trust Assets, of any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on the Liquidating Trust or the Liquidating Trust Assets, including the Disputed Claim Reserve. In the event, and to the extent, any cash retained on account of Disputed Claims in the Disputed Claim Reserve is insufficient to pay the portion of any such U.S. federal, state, local or foreign taxes attributable to the taxable income arising from the assets allocable to, or retained on account of, Disputed Claims, such U.S., local or foreign taxes shall be (a) reimbursed from any subsequent Cash amounts retained on account of Disputed Claims, or (b) to the extent such Disputed Claims have subsequently been resolved, deducted from any amounts otherwise distributable by the Liquidating Trustee as a result of the resolution of such Disputed Claims. The Liquidating Trustee may request an expedited determination of taxes of the Liquidating Trust, including the Disputed Claim Reserve, or the Debtors under Bankruptcy Code Section 505(b) for all tax returns filed for, or on behalf of, the Liquidating Trust or the Debtors for all taxable periods through the dissolution of the Liquidating Trust. 5.6 Securities Laws Considerations The Liquidating Trust Interests may not be transferred, sold, pledged or otherwise disposed of, or offered for sale, except for transfers by operation of law. The offer and issuance of the Liquidating Trust Interests will be made without registration under the 1933 Act, or under any state securities laws. To the extent the Liquidating Trust Interests constitute securities, the offer and issuance of the Liquidating Trust Interests will be made in reliance upon the exemption from registration afforded by sections 1125 and 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Confirmation Page 43


 
18-23302-rdd Doc 293 Filed 12/14/18 Entered 12/14/18 15:17:21 Main Document Pg 50 of 106 Order will include provisions to the effect that such exemptions are applicable to the offer and issuance of the Liquidating Trust Interests and that the Liquidating Trust is a “successor” to Debtors within the meaning of section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. No indenture will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “1939 Act”), with respect to the Liquidating Trust in reliance on the exemption provided by section 304(a)(1) of the 1939 Act. Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code exempts the offer or sale of securities pursuant to a plan of reorganization or liquidation from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and from registration under state securities laws if the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the securities are offered and sold by a debtor or a successor of the debtor under a plan of reorganization or liquidation; (ii) the recipients of the securities hold a claim against, an interest in, or a claim for an administrative expense against, the debtor; and (iii) the securities are issued in exchange for the recipients’ claims against or interests in the debtor, or principally in such exchange and partly for cash or property. In general, offers and sales of securities made in reliance on the exemption afforded under section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code are deemed to be made in a public offering, so that the recipients thereof, other than underwriters (as defined in section 1145(b) of the Bankruptcy Code), are free to resell such securities without registration under the 1933 Act. In addition, such securities generally may be resold without registration under state securities laws pursuant to various exemptions provided by the respective laws of the several states. However, as noted above, the Liquidating Trust Interests may not be transferred, sold, pledged or otherwise disposed of, or offered for sale, except for transfers upon death or by operation of law. THIS SUMMARY DISCUSSION IS GENERAL IN NATURE AND HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT SOLELY FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES PURSUANT TO SECTION 1125 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. THE DEBTORS MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS CONCERNING, AND DO NOT HEREBY PROVIDE, ANY OPINIONS OR ADVICE WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES AND BANKRUPTCY MATTERS DESCRIBED HEREIN. IN LIGHT OF THE UNCERTAINTY CONCERNING THE AVAILABILITY OF EXEMPTIONS FROM THE RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS, THE DEBTORS ENCOURAGE EACH CREDITOR, INTEREST HOLDER, LIQUIDATING TRUST INTEREST HOLDER, AND PARTY IN INTEREST TO CONSIDER CAREFULLY AND CONSULT WITH ITS OWN LEGAL AND TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO ALL SUCH MATTERS.

By signing and returning a ballot, each Holder of a Claim entitled to vote will certify to the Bankruptcy Court and the Debtors that no other ballots with respect to such Claim has been case or, if any other ballots have been cast with respect to such Claim, such earlier ballots are superseded and revoked. All ballots will be accompanied by return envelopes. It is important to follow the specific instructions provided on each ballot, as failing to do so may result in your ballot not being counted. (c) Plan and Disclosure Statement Objection Deadline The Bankruptcy Court has established January 10, 2019, at 4:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time), as the deadline to object to confirmation of the Plan or approval of the Disclosure Statement (the “Objection Deadline”). All such objections must be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on the Debtors, the Committee, and certain other parties in interest, so that they are actually received on or before the Plan Objection Deadline. The Debtors believe the Plan Objection Deadline, as established by the Bankruptcy Court, affords the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors, and other parties in interest reasonable time to consider the objections to the Plan and/or the Disclosure Statement before the joint hearing on approval of the Disclosure Statement and confirmation of the Plan (the “Confirmation Hearing”). (d) Confirmation Hearing Assuming the requisite acceptances are obtained for the Plan, the Debtors intend to seek confirmation of the Plan and approval of the Disclosure Statement at the Confirmation Hearing schedule on January 17, 2019, at 10:00 a.m. (prevailing Eastern Time), before the Honorable Robert D. Drain, United States Bankruptcy Judge, in Room 248 of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, 300 Quarropas Street, White Plains, NY 10601. The Confirmation Hearing may be continued from time to time, without further notice other than an adjournment announced in open court, or a notice of adjournment Filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on any entities who have filed objections to the Plan. The Bankruptcy Court, in its discretion and before the Confirmation Hearing, may put in place additional procedures governing such hearing. The Plan may be modified, if necessary, before, during, or as a result of the Confirmation Hearing without further notice to parties in interest, subject to the terms of the Plan. 6.2 Confirmation Standards (a) Best Interests Test The Bankruptcy Code requires that the Bankruptcy Court find that the Plan is in the best interest of all Holders of Claims and Interests that are Impaired by the Plan and that have not accepted the Plan as a requirement to confirm the Plan. The “best interests” test, as set forth in section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code, requires the Bankruptcy Court to find either that all members of an Impaired Class of Claims or Interests have accepted the Plan or that the Plan will provide a member who has not accepted the Plan with a recovery of property of a value, as of the effective date of the Plan, that is not less than the amount that such Holder would receive or Page 46


 
18-23302-rdd Doc 293 Filed 12/14/18 Entered 12/14/18 15:17:21 Main Document Pg 53 of 106 retain if the Debtors were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on such date. In chapter 7 liquidation, no junior class of Claims or Interests may be paid unless all classes of Claims or Interests senior to such junior class are paid in full. Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that subordination agreements are enforceable in a bankruptcy case to the same extent that such subordination is enforceable under applicable nonbankruptcy law. Therefore, no class of Claims or Interests that is contractually subordinated to another class would receive any payment on account of its Claims or Interests, unless and until such senior classes were paid in full. Once the Bankruptcy Court ascertains the recoveries in liquidation of the Debtors’ secured and priority creditors, it would then determine the probable distribution to unsecured creditors from the remaining available proceeds of the liquidation. If this probable distribution has a value greater than the value of distributions to be received by the unsecured creditors under the Plan, then the Plan is not in the best interests of creditors and cannot be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors believe that the Plan affords Holders of Claims the potential for the greatest realization on the Debtors’ assets. The Debtors and their financial advisor have worked with the Committee and its financial advisor for the transition of the historical knowledge, books and records, and other matters to the Litigation Trust. At the Effective Date, any remaining employees of the Debtors will no longer be available for use by the Liquidating Trust. The Debtors believe that the transition to the Liquidating Trust provides the best vehicle to realize recoveries for the Holders of such Claims. The Debtors do not believe that it would be efficient nor would it be less expensive to bring in a panel trustee, especially given the learning curve in this case. (b) Liquidation Analysis The Plan provides for the liquidation of the Estates’ assets remaining after the Sale Transaction. These assets are primarily Cash on hand and Estates’ Causes of Action. The recovery to Class 5 is derived primarily from the $650,000.00 in Cash contributed to the Estate Remaining Funds from the Sale Proceeds pursuant to the Global Settlement. Because the Debtors’ sole remaining assets are Cash on hand and Estates’ Causes of Actions, a liquidation of the Debtors’ Estates under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code necessarily will result in less recoveries to general unsecured creditors than under the Plan because, under the Plan, distributions are able to be made without incurring additional administrative expenses and statutory commissions of a chapter 7 trustee. Such chapter 7 trustee fees are anticipated to be substantial for the chapter 7 trustee and its counsel to familiarize themselves with the Debtors, the Estates, the procedural history, the Sale Transaction, and the terms of the Global Settlement that provide for $650,000.00 in Cash in the Estate Remaining Funds. After consideration of the effects that a chapter 7 liquidation would have on the ultimate proceeds available for distribution to creditors in a chapter 11 case, including (i) the increased costs and expenses of liquidation under chapter 7 arising from fees payable to a trustee in bankruptcy and professional advisors to such trustee, and (ii) the potential increases in claims which would be satisfied on a priority basis, the debtors have determined that confirmation of the Plan will provide each creditor and equity holder with a recovery that is not less than it would Page 47


 
18-23302-rdd Doc 293 Filed 12/14/18 Entered 12/14/18 15:17:21 Main Document Pg 54 of 106 receive under a liquidation pursuant to chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. (c) Feasibility The Bankruptcy Code requires as a condition to Confirmation that the Confirmation is not likely to be followed by liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization, unless such liquidation or reorganization is proposed in the Plan. Since the Plan contemplates liquidation under chapter 11, the Plan meets the feasibility requirement under the Bankruptcy Code. (d) Cram Down. If all of the applicable requirements for Confirmation of the Plan are met as set forth in section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code except for subsection (8) thereof, the Debtors may request the Bankruptcy Court to confirm the Plan pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, notwithstanding the requirements of section 1129(a)(8), on the basis that the Plan is fair and equitable and does not discriminate unfairly with respect to any Impaired Class that does not vote to accept this Plan as described in this Disclosure Statement. (i) No Unfair Discrimination The test for unfair discrimination applies to classes of claims or interests that are of equal priority and are receiving different treatment under the Plan. The test does not require that the treatment be the same or equivalent but that such treatment be “fair.” In general, courts consider whether a plan discriminates unfairly in its treatment of classes of claims of equal rank (e.g., classes of the same legal character). The Debtors do not believe the Plan discriminates unfairly against any Impaired Class of Claims or Interests. Accordingly, the Debtors believe the Plan and the treatment of all Classes of Claims and Interests satisfy the foregoing requirements for non- consensual Confirmation. (ii) Fair and Equitable Test The fair and equitable test applies to classes of different priority and status (e.g., secured versus unsecured) and includes the general requirement that no class of claims receive more than 100% of the amount of the allowed claims in such class. As to each non-accepting class, the test sets different standards depending on the type of claims or interests in such class. As set forth below, the Debtors believe that the Plan satisfies the “fair and equitable” requirement, notwithstanding the fact that certain Classes are deemed to reject the Plan. Secured Claims The condition that a plan be “fair and equitable” for a non-accepting class of secured claims may be satisfied, among other things, if a debtor demonstrates that: (a) (x) the holders of such secured claims retain the liens securing such claims to the extent of the allowed amount of the claims, whether the property subject to the liens is retained by the debtor or transferred to another entity under the plan, and (y) each holder of a secured claim in the class receives deferred cash payments totaling at least the allowed amount of such claim with a present value, as of the effective date of the plan, at least equivalent to the value of the secured claimant’s Page 48


 
18-23302-rdd Doc 293 Filed 12/14/18 Entered 12/14/18 15:17:21 Main Document Pg 55 of 106 interest in the debtor’s property subject to the liens; or (ii) the holders of such secured claims realize the indubitable equivalent of such claims.7 Unsecured Claims The condition that a plan be “fair and equitable” to a non-accepting class of unsecured claims includes the requirement that either: (a) the plan provides that each holder of a claim of such class receive or retain on account of such claim property of a value, as of the effective date of the plan, equal to the allowed amount of such claim; or (b) the holder of any claim or any interest that is junior to the claims of such class will not receive or retain under the plan on account of such junior claim or junior interest in any property.8 Interests The condition that a plan be “fair and reasonable” to a non-accepting class of interests includes the requirements that either: (a) the plan provides that each holder of an interest in that class receives or retains under the plan on account of that interest property of a value, as of the effective date of the plan, equal to the greater of (x) the allowed amount of any fixed liquidation preference to which such holder is entitled, and (y) any fixed redemption price to which such holder is entitled; (b) the value of such interest or (c) if the class does not receive the amount as required under clause (a) above, no class of interests junior to the non-accepting class may receive a distribution under the plan.9 6.3 Vote Required for Acceptance by a Class The Bankruptcy Code defines acceptance of a plan by a class of Claims as acceptance by Holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) in dollar amount and more than one-half (1/2) in number of the allowed Claims of that class held by creditors, other than any entity designated under Bankruptcy Code § 1129(e), who cast ballots for acceptance or rejection of the Plan. (a) Acceptance by Impaired Classes. Each Impaired Class of Claims that will (or may) receive or retain property or any interest in property under the Plan shall be entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. An Impaired Class of Claims shall have accepted the Plan if (i) the holders (other than any holder designated under section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code) of at least two-thirds in amount of the Allowed Claims actually voting in such Class have voted to accept the Plan and (ii) the holders (other than any holder designated under section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code) of more than one-half in number of the Allowed Claims actually voting in such Class have voted to accept the Plan. (b) Voting Presumptions. Claims in Unimpaired Classes are conclusively deemed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code and, therefore, are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. Claims and Interests in Classes that do not entitle the holders thereof to receive or retain any property under the Plan are conclusively deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code and, therefore, are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. 7 See 11 U.S.C. § 1129(b)(2)(A). 8 See 11 U.S.C. § 1129(b)(2)(B). 9 See 11 U.S.C. § 1129(b)(2)(C).

18-23302-rdd Doc 293 Filed 12/14/18 Entered 12/14/18 15:17:21 Main Document Pg 56 of 106 (c) Tabulation of Votes. (i) If Substantively Consolidated. If the Debtors are substantively consolidated, the Debtors will tabulate votes on the Plan on a consolidated basis by Class for the purpose of determining whether the Plan satisfies sections 1129(a)(8) or (10) of the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable, for the consolidated Debtors. In that event, the Claims against the Debtors shall be voted in a single consolidated Class (e.g., holders of Class 3 Claims) against the consolidated Debtors and shall be deemed to have voted in a single, consolidated class for purposes of determining whether the Plan satisfies sections 1129(a)(8) or (10) of the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable, with respect to the consolidated Debtors. (ii) If Not Substantively Consolidated. If the Debtors are not substantively consolidated, the Debtors will tabulate all votes on the Plan on a non-consolidated basis by Class for the purpose of determining whether the Plan satisfies sections 1129(a)(8) or (10) of the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable, with respect to each Debtor. For each Debtor that satisfies sections 1129(a)(8) or (10) of the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable, and provided that all other requirements to Confirmation of the Plan are met, the Confirmation of this Plan as to such Debtor shall be deemed to occur by operation of the Plan. (d) Reservation of Rights. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court does not order substantive consolidation of the Debtors, then except as specifically set forth in the Plan: (a) nothing in the Plan or the Disclosure Statement shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an admission that one of the Debtors is subject to or liable for any Claim against any other Debtor; (b) Claims against multiple Debtors shall be treated as separate Claims with respect to each Debtor’s Estate for all purposes (including, without limitation, Distributions and voting), and such Claims shall be administered as provided in the Plan; and (c) the Debtors shall not, nor shall they be required to, resolicit votes with respect to the Plan, nor will the failure of the Bankruptcy Court to approve substantive consolidation of the Debtors alter the Distributions set forth in the Plan. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court does not order substantive consolidation, the Plan comprises a separate plan for each Debtor and the Confirmation requirements of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code must be satisfied separately for each Debtor under the Plan. 6.4 Alternatives to Confirmation Is Chapter 7 Liquidation If the Debtors fail to obtain enough acceptances from any of Classes 3, 4, or 5 to confirm the Plan, or the Plan is not subsequently confirmed and consummated, the alternative is liquidation of the Debtors under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. Proceeding under chapter 7 would impose significant additional monetary and time costs on the Debtors’ Estates. Under chapter 7, one or more trustees would be elected or appointed to administer the Estates, to resolve pending controversies, including Disputed Claims against the Debtors and Claims of the various estates against other parties, and to make distributions to Holders of Claims. A chapter 7 trustee would be entitled to compensation in accordance with the scale set forth in section 326 of the Bankruptcy Code, and the trustee would also incur significant administrative expenses. The chapter 7 administrative expenses also take priority over any chapter 11 administrative expenses. Page 50


 
18-23302-rdd Doc 293 Filed 12/14/18 Entered 12/14/18 15:17:21 Main Document Pg 57 of 106 There is a strong probability that a chapter 7 trustee in these cases would not possess any particular knowledge about the Debtors. Additionally, a trustee would probably seek the assistance of professionals who may not have any significant background or familiarity with these Chapter Cases. The trustee and any professionals retained by the trustee likely would expend significant time familiarizing themselves with these Chapter 11 Cases. This would result in duplication of effort, increased expenses, and delay in payments to creditors, time and money are inevitable. In addition to these time and monetary costs, there are other problems in a chapter 7 liquidation that would result in a substantially smaller recovery for Holders of Claims than under the Plan, including a chapter 7 trustee’s lack of background with or ability to pursue the arbitration awards. Further, distributions under the Plan probably would be made earlier than would distributions in a chapter 7 case. Distributions of the proceeds in a chapter 7 liquidation might not occur until one or more years after the completion of the liquidation in order to afford the trustee the opportunity to resolve claims and prepare for distributions. THE DEBTORS AND COMMITTEE BELIEVE THAT THE PLAN AFFORDS SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER RECOVERY TO HOLDERS OF CLAIMS THAN SUCH HOLDERS WOULD RECEIVE IF THE DEBTORS WERE LIQUIDATED UNDER CHAPTER 7 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. ARTICLE VII CERTAIN FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED Prior to voting to accept or reject the plan, all Holders of Claims should read and carefully consider the risk factors set forth below, as well as all other information set forth or otherwise referenced in this disclosure statement. These risk factors should not, however, be regarded as constituting the only risks involved in connection with the Plan and its implementation. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Debtors or that they currently deem immaterial may also harm their Estates. 7.1 Certain Bankruptcy Law Considerations (a) Objections to the Plan and Confirmation Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code provides certain requirements for a chapter 11 plan to be confirmed. Parties-in-interest may object to confirmation of the Plan based on an alleged failure to fulfill these requirements or other reasons. (b) Objections to the Debtors’ Classification of Claims and Interests Section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a plan of reorganization may place a claim or an interest in a particular class only if such claim or interest is substantially similar to the other claims or interests in such class. The Debtors believe that the classification of Claims and Interests under the Plan complies with the requirements set forth in the Bankruptcy Code because each class of Claims and Interests encompass Claims or Interests that are substantially Page 51


 
18-23302-rdd Doc 293 Filed 12/14/18 Entered 12/14/18 15:17:21 Main Document Pg 58 of 106 similar to the other Claims or Interests in each such class. (c) Failure to Obtain Confirmation of the Plan The Debtors cannot ensure they will receive enough acceptances to confirm the Plan. But, even if the Debtors do receive enough acceptances, there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will confirm the Plan. Even if enough acceptances are received and, with respect to those Classes deemed to have rejected the Plan, the requirements for “cramdown” are met, the Bankruptcy Court, which as a court of equity may exercise substantial discretion, may choose not to confirm the Plan or may require additional solicitations or consents prior to confirming the Plan. Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code requires, among other things, that the value of distributions to dissenting Holders of Claims and Interests may not be less than the value such Holders would receive if the Debtors were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. Although the Debtors believe that the Plan will meet such tests, there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will reach the same conclusion. The Debtors’ ability to propose and confirm an alternative plan is uncertain. Confirmation of any alternative plan under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code would likely take significantly more time and result in delays in the ultimate distributions to the Holders of Claims. If confirmation of an alternative plan is not possible, the Debtors would likely be liquidated under chapter 7. Based upon the Debtors’ analysis, liquidation under chapter 7 would result in distributions of reduced value, if any, to Holders of Claims and Interests. (d) Failure to Consummate or Effectuate the Plan Consummation of the Plan is conditioned upon, among other things, entry of the Confirmation Order approving any transactions contemplated thereunder. As of the date of this Disclosure Statement, there can be no assurance that any or all of the foregoing conditions will be met or that the other conditions to consummation, if any, will be satisfied. Accordingly, even if the Plan is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, there can be no assurance that the Plan will be consummated and effectuated and the liquidation completed. (e) Risk of Non-Occurrence of the Effective Date Although the Debtors believe that the Effective Date may occur within a reasonable time following the Confirmation Date, there can be no assurance as to such timing. (f) Claims Estimation There can be no assurance that the estimated amount of Claims is correct, and the actual Allowed amounts of Claims may differ from estimates. The estimated amounts are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the actual Allowed amounts of Claims may vary from those estimated therein. (g) Nonconsensual Confirmation In the event that any impaired class of claims or interests does not accept a chapter 11 Page 52

The Debtors believe that the Plan satisfies these requirements, and the debtors may request such nonconsensual Confirmation in accordance with subsection 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will reach this conclusion. In addition, the pursuit of nonconsensual Confirmation or Consummation of the Plan may result in, among other things, increased expenses relating to professional compensation. 7.2 Disclosure Statement Disclaimer (a) Information Contained in this Disclosure Statement is for Soliciting Vote The information contained in this Disclosure statement is for the purposes of soliciting acceptances of the Plan and may not be relied upon for any other purpose.

Substantive consolidation shall not affect distributions from any insurance policies or the proceeds of such policies. (c) In the event that the Bankruptcy Court does not order substantive consolidation, the Debtors reserve the right to seek Confirmation of the Plan as to each Debtor individually or to withdraw as to any Debtor. Subject to the requirements of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, neither the inability of the Debtors to obtain Confirmation of the Plan as to any Debtor nor the election of the Debtors to withdraw the Plan as to any Debtor shall impair the Confirmation or consummation of the Plan as to any other Debtor. 4.3 Request for Substantive Consolidation. (a) Substantive Consolidation. The Plan shall serve as a motion by the Debtors seeking entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court substantively consolidating the Debtors and their Estates, and the Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the substantive consolidation of the Debtors and their Estates. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court substantively consolidates some but not all of the Debtors, the Debtors reserve the right to proceed with Confirmation with no or partial substantive consolidation consistent with the Bankruptcy Court’s order. 4.4 Intercompany Claims and Interests Among Debtors. (a) If Substantively Consolidated.

(b) If Not Substantively Consolidated. If substantive consolidation is not ordered pursuant to this Article IV, there shall be no Distributions made on account of any Intercompany Claims, Administrative Expenses, or Interests between and among any of the Debtors. Pursuant to sections 1126(f) and 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, holders of Intercompany Claims or Interests shall not be entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. 4.5 Tabulation of Votes.

In that event, the Claims against the Debtors shall be voted in a single consolidated Class (e.g., holders of Class 5 Claims) against the Page 16 9630256v.5 4850-0086-0282.8

(b) If Not Substantively Consolidated. If the Debtors are not substantively consolidated, the Debtors will tabulate all votes on the Plan on a non-consolidated basis by Class for the purpose of determining whether the Plan satisfies sections 1129(a)(8) or (10) of the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable, with respect to each Debtor. For each Debtor that satisfies sections 1129(a)(8) or (10) of the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable, and provided that all other requirements to Confirmation of the Plan are met, the Confirmation of this Plan as to such Debtor shall be deemed to occur by operation of the Plan. 4.6 Reservation of Rights. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court does not order substantive consolidation of the Debtors, then except as specifically set forth in the Plan: (a) nothing in the Plan or the Disclosure Statement shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an admission that one of the Debtors is subject to or liable for any Claim against any other Debtor; (b) Claims against multiple Debtors shall be treated as separate Claims with respect to each Debtor’s Estate for all purposes (including, without limitation, Distributions and voting), and such Claims shall be administered as provided in the Plan; and (c) the Debtors shall not, nor shall they be required to, resolicit votes with respect to the Plan, nor will the failure of the Bankruptcy Court to approve substantive consolidation of the Debtors alter the Distributions set forth in the Plan. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court does not order substantive consolidation, the Plan comprises a separate plan for each Debtor and the Confirmation requirements of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code must be satisfied separately for each Debtor under the Plan. ARTICLE V TREATMENT OF CLASSES OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS The categories of Classes, Claims and Interests listed below classify Claims and Interests (other than Administrative Expenses dealt with in Article III) in or against the Debtors for all purposes, including voting, Confirmation, and Distribution, pursuant to the Plan and pursuant to sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. If substantive consolidation is ordered pursuant to Article IV of the Plan, each Class listed below will vote as set forth in Article IV of the Plan. If substantive consolidation is not ordered, each Class listed below shall vote as a single separate Class for each Debtor, including with respect to the Confirmation requirements under section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. A Claim or Interest shall be deemed classified in a particular Class only to the extent that the Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of that Class and the remaining portion of such Claim or Interest, if any, shall be deemed classified in a different Class to the extent that any remainder of such Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of such different Class.

(ii) In determining the Face Amount of Disputed Claims in accordance with the Plan, the Liquidating Trustee may rely on the Debtors’ estimates as to Disputed Claims and will have no liability therefor in the absence of bad faith or gross negligence.

(b) Claim Estimates. Upon a request for estimation by the Debtors or the Liquidating Trust, the Bankruptcy Court will determine what amount of Cash from the initial and subsequent Distributions is sufficient to reserve on account of any Disputed Claim not otherwise treated in the Plan, pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law, in which event the amount so determined will be deemed the Allowed amount of such Disputed Claim for purposes of this Plan, or, in lieu thereof, the Bankruptcy Court will determine the maximum amount for such Disputed Claim, which amount will be the maximum amount in which such Claim may ultimately be Allowed, if such Claim is Allowed in whole or in part. If the Debtors or the Liquidating Trust elect not to request such an estimation from the Bankruptcy Court with respect to a Disputed Claim that is liquidated, the Debtors or the Liquidating Trust, as applicable, will reserve Cash based on the Face Amount of such Claim until the Claim is Allowed by an order of the Bankruptcy Court, at which time the reserve amount pending a Final Order may be the amount so Allowed. 6.17 Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions. (a) If a holder of an Allowed Claim fails to negotiate a check issued to such holder pursuant to this Plan within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date such check was forwarded to such holder, the Liquidating Trust shall issue a “stop payment order” for that non- negotiated check. The amount attributable to that non-negotiated check shall be deemed vested in the Liquidating Trust, and the payee of such check and holder of such Claim shall be deemed to have no further Claim and will not participate in any further Distributions under this Plan. (b) If a Distribution under this Plan to any holder of an Allowed Claim is returned to the Liquidating Trust due to an incorrect address and such holder does not present itself within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date such check was forwarded to said holder (if the Liquidating Trustee with reasonable diligence can identify a correct address), the amount of Cash attributable to such check will be deemed vested in the Liquidating Trust, and the payee of such check and holder of such Claim shall be deemed to have no further Claim and will not participate in any further Distributions under this Plan 6.18 Transmittal of Distributions and Notices. (a) Any property or notice other than Cash Distributions which an Entity is or becomes entitled to receive pursuant to the Plan shall be delivered by regular mail, postage prepaid, in an envelope addressed to that Entity at the address indicated on any notice of appearance Filed by that Entity or his authorized agent prior to the Effective Date. If no notice of appearance has been Filed, notice shall be sent to the address indicated on a properly Filed proof of Claim or, absent such a proof of Claim, the address that is listed on the Schedules for that Entity. The date of Distribution shall be the date of mailing, and property distributed in Page 26 9630256v.5 4850-0086-0282.8

(b) A holder of a Claim or Interest may designate a different address for notices and Distributions by notifying the Liquidating Trustee of that address in writing. The new address shall be effective upon receipt by the Liquidating Trustee. 6.19 Withholding Taxes. Any federal, state or local withholding taxes or other amounts required to be withheld under applicable law shall be deducted from Distributions hereunder. All Entities holding Claims shall be required to provide any information necessary to effect the withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Debtors and the Liquidating Trustee, as applicable, shall be authorized to take all actions necessary 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, and establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable and appropriate to comply with such requirements. The Debtors 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. 6.20 Retention of Rights to Pursue Causes of Action. Pursuant to § 1123(b)(3), the Liquidating Trust (as successor to the Debtors’ Estates) shall retain and have the exclusive right to enforce against any Entity any and all Causes of Action of the Debtors or their Estates (including, without limitation, all Chapter 5 Causes of Action) that arose before the Effective Date, including all Causes of Action of a trustee and a debtor in possession under the Bankruptcy Code; and each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest shall contribute to the Liquidating Trust their interests in the Causes of Action, and the Liquidating Trust shall be authorized as the representative of the Estates to pursue such Causes of Action. For the avoidance of doubt, the Causes of Action shall not include those Chapter 5 Causes of Action expressly released or compromised as part of or pursuant to the Plan, the Confirmation Order, the Sale Order, or other order of the Bankruptcy Court. The Causes of Action retained by the Liquidating Trust include, without limitation, all Causes of Action listed on Exhibit B to the Disclosure Statement. 6.21 Allocation of Plan Distributions between Principal and Interest. For distributions in respect of Allowed Claims, to the extent that any such Allowed Claim entitled to a distribution under the Plan is comprised of indebtedness and accrued but unpaid interest thereon, such distribution shall be allocated to the principal amount (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of the Claim first, and then to accrued but unpaid interest.

ARTICLE VII THE LIQUIDATING TRUST AND THE LIQUIDATING TRUSTEE 7.1 The Liquidating Trust (a) The Liquidating Trust, duly organized under the laws of the State of New York, is created for the primary purpose of liquidating the Liquidating Trust Assets. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Liquidating Trust shall be structured to qualify as a “liquidating trust” under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-4(d) and in compliance with Revenue Procedure 94-45. Thus, the Liquidating Trust shall be structured as a “grantor trust” within the meaning of Sections 671 through 679 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Liquidating Trust shall not continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business, except to the extent reasonably necessary to, and consistent with, the liquidating purpose of the trust. Accordingly, the beneficiaries of the Liquidating Trust, who will be treated as the grantors and deemed owners for federal income tax purposes, are the Holders of Allowed Claims in Classes 1, 2, 3, and 5. The Liquidating Trustee shall file federal income tax returns for the Liquidating Trust as a grantor trust pursuant to Section 671 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Tax Regulations promulgated thereunder. (b) The parties shall not take any position on their respective tax returns or with respect to any other matter related to taxes that is inconsistent with treating the Liquidating Trust as a “liquidating trust” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-4(d), unless any party receives definitive guidance to the contrary from the Internal Revenue Service. 7.2 Funding of Res of Trust (a) To fund the Liquidating Trust, all of the Liquidating Trust Assets shall be transferred and assigned to the Liquidating Trust, and the Liquidating Trust shall be in possession of, and have title to, all the Liquidating Trust Assets, as of the Effective Date. The Liquidating Trustee, as trustee of the Liquidating Trust, shall be substituted as the plaintiff, defendant, or other party in all lawsuits regarding Causes of Action pending in which any of the Debtors or the Creditors’ Committee is the plaintiff as of the Effective Date. The conveyances of all Liquidating Trust Assets shall be accomplished pursuant to this Plan and the Confirmation Page 28 9630256v.5 4850-0086-0282.8

The conveyance of the Liquidating Trust Assets to the Liquidating Trust shall be free and clear of all Liens, Claims or other encumbrances. Upon the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trust shall also be deemed to have taken (a) an assignment of all Causes of Action against third parties for obligations or claims existing on or created by virtue of the Effective Date, unless expressly released in this Plan, and (b) an assignment, bill of sale, deed and/or release covering all other Liquidating Trust Assets to the extent necessary to effect the transfer and assignment of such Liquidating Trust Assets.

Such Orders may be presented without further notice other than as has been given in this Plan. (b) For all federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, all Persons (including, without limitation, the Debtors, the Liquidating Trustee and the Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries) will treat the transfer and assignment of the Liquidating Trust Assets to the Liquidating Trust for the benefit of the Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries as (a) a transfer of the Liquidating Trust Assets directly to the Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries followed by (b) the transfer of the Liquidating Trust Assets by the Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries to the Liquidating Trust.

(d) The Liquidating Trustee may establish a reserve on account of Disputed claims. The Liquidating Trustee may, for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and, to the extent permitted by law, for state and local income tax purposes), (i) make an election pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-9 to treat such reserve as a “disputed ownership fund” within the meaning of that section; (ii) allocate taxable income or loss to such reserve, with respect to any given taxable year (but only for the portion of the taxable year with respect to which such Claims are Disputed); and (iii) distribute assets from such reserve as, when, and to the extent such Claims that are Disputed cease to be Disputed, whether by virtue of becoming Allowed or otherwise resolved. The Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries shall be bound by such election, if made by the trustee, and, as such, shall, for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and, to Page 29 9630256v.5 4850-0086-0282.8
