D. Allowed Class 5 Claims (Allowed Priority Wage Claims). Class 5 is not impaired. Each holder of an Allowed Class 5 Claim shall receive, as soon as practicable following the Effective Date, cash in an amount equal to such holder's Allowed Class 5 Claim. ARTICLE V. SPECIFICATION AND TREATMENT OF IMPAIRED CLASSES A. Class 1 (The DOOFF Allowed Secured Claim). The Class 1 Allowed Secured Claim is impaired. The Holder of the Allowed Class 1 Claim shall have an Allowed Secured Claim in the amount of $1,500,000.00 (the "DOOFF Secured Balance") and an unsecured Claim, to be classified and treated as an Allowed Class 6 Claim in the amount of $1,938,045.82. The holder of the Allowed Class 1 Secured Claim shall, as soon as practicable following the Effective Date, receive the following in full satisfaction of the Foothill Secured Balance: (I) The holder of the Allowed Class 1 Claim shall (a) retain its security interests in all pre-petition collateral, in which it was validly perfected as of the Petition Date, including without limitation, all of the Debtor's accounts receivable, all inventory, equipment; and all other pre-petition collateral; and (b) have a security interest in all proceeds of the foregoing wherever located now and hereafter acquired; (II) The DOOFF Secured Balance (which includes all principal, interest and fees -- less cash collateral payments made during the Case) shall accrue interest from and after 11 12 February 15, 2000 at the non-default contract rate provided for in the documents evidencing the DOOFF Secured Claim. Interest only shall be paid monthly on the first calendar day of each month for 120 months, commencing with the first calendar day of the first month immediately following the Effective Date. (III) Reorganized Debtor shall pay Principal to the Holder of the Allowed Class 1 Claim upon any of the following dates or occurrences: (A) the closing of any sale of the Reorganized Debtor's equipment (in which the Holder of the Class 1 Allowed Claim has a security interest) in an amount equal to all proceeds (less costs of sale, including commissions and costs of refurbishing the equipment) received by Reorganized Debtor on account of such sale or disposition of equipment; (B) within 120 days following the close of Debtor's fiscal year end, principal reductions in an amount equal to tax savings realized in that year resulting from application of any net operating loss carry forward; and (C) all unpaid principal shall be due and payable ten years from the Effective Date on the first business day immediately following the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. (IV) Reorganized Debtor shall provide DOOF, as holder of the DOOFF Secured Claim, with monthly financial statements, including but not limited to, a balance sheet and income statement, calculated on an accrual basis, within thirty (30) days of month end commencing on the last day of the first month following the Effective Date; (V) DOOFF, as the holder of the DOOFF Allowed Secured Claim, in its sole discretion, shall be permitted to conduct collateral audits and/or audits of the Reorganized Debtor's books and records on a quarterly basis at its own expense; (VI) Debtor and DOOFF shall execute such documents as are necessary to accomplish and implement the foregoing terms and conditions; and (VII) DOOFF shall also receive 4,000,000 shares of New Common in partial consideration for the restructure of its secured claim and also in partial consideration for the new working capital line which DOOFF has, pursuant to Court Order provided to the Debtor and will provide to the Reorganized Debtor. 12 13 B. Class 2 (Allowed Secured Claim of IPA/Burbank Airport Partners). Class 2 is impaired. The collateral which did secure the Class 2 Claim was disposed of prior to the Petition Date. There is consequently no collateral or proceeds securing this claim. Class 2 shall, therefore, not receive any distribution on account of its Class 2 Claim. The holders of Class 2 Claims shall therefore be treated as a Class 6 unsecured Claim. C. Class 3 (Allowed Secured Claim of Prologis FDBA SCI- N.C.). Class 3 is impaired. Class 3 has filed a judgment lien which is junior to the Allowed Secured Claim held by the Holder of the Class 1 Claim. Because the Class 1 Claim exceeds the value of all of the Debtor's assets the Class 3 Claim, pursuant to 506(a) of the Code, has a zero value and is unsecured. The holders of Class 3 Claims shall therefore be treated as a Class 6 unsecured Claim. D. Class 6 (General Allowed Unsecured Claims). The Allowed Class 6 Claims are impaired. In full satisfaction of their respective Allowed Unsecured Claims, each Holder of an Allowed Class 6 Claim may each elect to receive one of the following, immediately upon the Effective Date: (I) one share of New Common for each Two Dollars ($2.00) in Allowed Claim amount; or (II) the lesser of $250.00 or the amount of their Allowed Class 6 Claim. E. Class 7 (Interest Holders -- Old Common). Class 7 is impaired. The holders of Class 7 Interests in Debtor shall retain their Interests in Debtor subject to dilution as provided in this Plan. However, Shotmaker Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation will surrender, on the Effective Date 4,000,000 shares of Old Common and will not receive any New Common on account of those shares being surrendered. F. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued. All fractional shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole share. ARTICLE VI. VOTING OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS A. Objections to Claims and Interests. All objections to Claims and Interests must be filed as follows:(i) for Claims and Interests filed before the date of 13 14 Confirmation, on or before 180 days after the Effective Date; and (ii) for Claims or Interests filed subsequent to the date of Confirmation, on or before 180 days after the filing of such Claim or Interest; provided, however, that the Court may extend the deadlines set forth above. B. Voting of Claims or Interests. The amount of a Claim that will be used to determine votes for or against the Plan will be either: (i) the Claim amount listed in the Schedules; or (ii) the liquidated amount specified in a proof of Claim timely filed with the Court that is not subject to an objection. If the holder of a Claim submits a ballot, but such holder has not timely filed a proof of Claim and such holder's Claim is listed on the Schedules as contingent, unliquidated or disputed, or such holder's Claim is the subject of an objection, the ballot will not be counted in accordance with Rule 3018 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, unless the Court temporarily allows the Claim for the purpose of voting to accept or reject the Plan in accordance with Rule 3018 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure. ARTICLE VII. MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN A. Continued Corporate Existence.
