ITEM  3.    BANKRUPTCY OR RECEIVERSHIP.

A.I. Liquidation, Inc. (formerly known as Arlington Industries, Inc., “Arlington”), B.A. Pargh Company, Daisytek, Incorporated (“Inc.”), Daisytek Latin America, Inc., Digital Storage, Inc. (“DSI”), Tapebargains.com, Inc., T.T.C. Liquidation, Inc. (formerly known as The Tape Company, “Tape”), and Virtual Demand, Inc. (collectively, the “Initial Debtors”) each filed a voluntary petition for relief (the “Initial Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court fo r the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”).  Subsequently, on June 3, 2003, Daisytek International Corporation (the “Company” and collectively with the Initial Debtors, the “Debtors”) filed a voluntary petition for relief (collectively with the Initial Cases, the “Cases”) under the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court.  Each of the Initial Debtors is a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company.

Since the Debtors’ respective petition dates, they have continued to operate and manage their business as debtors in possession pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code.  During this time the Debtors, with Bankruptcy Court approval, sold (a) substantially all of the assets of Arlington, DSI, and Tape, (b) certain intellectual property of Inc., and (c) Inc.’s capital stock in its subsidiaries, Etertin S.A., Daisytek (Canada) Inc., and Daisytek de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (collectively, the “Marketed Assets”).  In addition, the Debtors liquidated Inc.’s inventory and collected its accounts receivable.

On March 17, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1, confirming the First Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation for the Debtors (Excluding T.T.C. Liquidation, Inc. (f/k/a/ The Tape Company)) (the “Plan”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.2.

In the Confirmation Order, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Plan with respect to the Cases of each of the Debtors except Tape (collectively, the “Confirmed Debtors”).  At this time, the administration of Tape’s estate has not been resolved, and each of the Debtors reserves its rights with respect thereto.

Under the Plan, the Cases of each of the Confirmed Debtors shall be deemed to be one consolidated case for the limited purpose of distributions.  The remaining assets of the Confirmed Debtors’ estates (the “Creditors Trust Assets”), which include, but are not limited to, cash, accounts receivable, amounts payable under holdbacks from buyers of certain of the Marketed Assets, avoidance actions, and other causes of action, shall be transferred to a creditors trust (the “Creditors Trust”).  Initially, a senior claim distribution reserve will be established from the Creditors Trust Assets to pay holders of allowed administrative claims, professional fee claims, priority claims, and claims relating to U.S. Trustee fees.

The trustee of the Creditors Trust will liquidate the remaining Creditors Trust Assets, as necessary, and make pro rata distributions of available cash to holders of beneficial interests in the Creditors Trust (i.e., holders of allowed general unsecured claims against the Confirmed Debtors’ estates) from time to time in such amounts as provided in the Plan.  Each holder of an allowed convenience claim against the Confirmed Debtors’ estates and those holders of allowed general unsecured claims against the Confirmed Debtors’ estates electing to be treated as holders of convenience claims will receive 8% of the amount of the holder’s allowed claim in one cash payments (subject to an aggregate limitation equal to $125,000).

It is not anticipated that holders of allowed general unsecured claims against the Confirmed Debtors’ estates will be paid in full.  As a consequence and as mandated by the priority scheme of the Bankruptcy Code, holders of subordinated claims against and equity interests in the Confirmed Debtors will not be entitled to receive any distributions or retain any property on account of their subordinated claims against and equity interests in any of the Confirmed Debtors.  As of the effective date of the Plan, all outstanding equity interests in each of the Confirmed Debtors will be deemed terminated and extinguished and the certificates that previously evidenced ownership of such equity interests will be cancelled, and such certificates will not evidence any rights or interests in the Confirmed Debtors.

Information as to the assets and liabilities of the Company and Initial Debtors as of February 29, 2004, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of the Confirmation Order, is set forth on the unaudited monthly operating reports of the Company and Initial Debtors for a period from February 1, 2004 through February 29, 2004, filed with the Bankruptcy Court and attached hereto as Exhibits 2.3-2.8.

DAISYTEK, INCORPORATED, et al.	§	CASE NO. 03-34762-HDH-11
	§	(Chapter 11)
DEBTORS.	§	(Jointly Administered)

ORDER CONFIRMING FIRST AMENDED JOINT PLAN OF LIQUIDATION FOR THE

DEBTORS (EXCLUDING T.T.C. LIQUIDATION, INC. (f//k/a THE TAPE COMPANY)

BACKGROUND AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY

On May 7, 2003, A.I. Liquidation, Inc. (f/k/a Arlington Industries, Inc.); B.A. Pargh Company; Daisytek, Incorporated; Daisytek Latin America, Inc.; Tapebargains.com, Inc.; T.T.C. Liquidation, Inc. (f/k/a The Tape Company) (“Tape”); and Virtual Demand, Inc. each filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). Subsequently, on June 3, 2003, Daisytek International Corporation filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

1

Since these debtors’ respective petition dates, they have continued to operate and manage their businesses as debtors in possession pursuant to Bankruptcy Code §§ 1107(a) and 1108.

On May 16, 2003, the United States Trustee appointed the Official Unsecured Creditors’ Committee (the “Committee”).

On January 28, 2004, the Plan Proponents (as defined in the Plan) filed their First Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation for the Debtors [Docket No. 985] (as amended, modified, and/or supplemented, the “Plan”)(1) and their First Amended Disclosure Statement for First Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation for the Debtors [Docket No. 986] (as amended, modified, and/or supplemented, the “Disclosure Statement”).  A copy of the Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The Court entered an Order approving the Disclosure Statement [Docket No. 986] on January 29, 2004 (the “Disclosure Statement Order”).  Voting on the Plan commenced on January 29, 2004 and concluded on February 27, 2004.  On March 1, 2004, the Plan Proponents filed the Plan Supplement, which included certain of the Plan Documents.  The Plan Supplement is incorporated herein by reference.

In support of confirmation of the Plan, the Plan Proponents filed the following pleadings: (a) Memorandum of Law in Support of Confirmation of the First Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation for the Debtors [Docket No. 1087]; (b) Affidavit of Dale Booth in Support of Confirmation of the First Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation for the Debtors [Docket No. 1088]; (c) Affidavit of Lee Weiner in Support of Confirmation of the First

(1) Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and as set forth in more detail in this Confirmation Order, the Court is not confirming the Plan as to Tape or Tape’s bankruptcy estate.  Consequently, as modified in paragraphs 21 and 22 of this Confirmation Order, the definitions of “Cases” and “Debtors” set forth in sections 1.22 and 1.43 of the Plan, respectively, shall not include Tape or its bankruptcy estate or case.

2

Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation for the Debtors [Docket No. 1097]; and (d) Affidavit of Pamela Lewis Regarding Results of Solicitation of Confirmation of the First Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation for the Debtors [Docket No. 1091].

The following parties filed objections (the “Objections”) to the confirmation of the Plan: (i) Objection [Docket No. 1065] filed by Bank of America, N.A., as agent and lender, JPMorgan Chase Bank, Bank One, N.A., The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc., Comerica Bank, Siemens Financial Services, Inc., UPS Capital Corporation, Fleet Capital Corporation, Foothill Capital Corporation, and PNC Bank, National Association (collectively, the “Bank Group”); (ii) Objection [Docket No. 1074] filed by Hawaii Electricians Annuity Fund, James Donahue, and Alaska Hotel and Restaurant Employees Pension Trust Fund; and (iii) Objection [Docket No. 1079] filed by Sony Electronics, Inc. (“Sony”).

Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1128 and Rule 3020(b)(2) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”), the Court held a hearing to consider the confirmation of the Plan on March 4, 2004.

After considering the Plan, Plan Supplement, the Objections, evidence presented or proffered at the Confirmation Hearing, representations and arguments of counsel at the Confirmation Hearing, and the entire record before the Court in these Cases, and after otherwise being fully apprised, the Court makes the following findings of fact and conclusions of law and issues this Order in support of the Confirmation of the Plan:

3

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

Jurisdiction and Venue

A.            The Court has jurisdiction over these Cases pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§157 and 1334.  This matter constitutes a core proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(L).  Venue in this Court is proper under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.

B.            The Court finds and concludes that the Court’s retention of jurisdiction as set forth in section 16.1 of the Plan and in section 6.1 of the Creditors Trust Agreement comport with the parameters contained in 28 U.S.C. § 157.

Contents of the Plan

C.            In accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1123(a), the Court finds and concludes that the Plan: (1) designates Classes of Claims and Equity Interests, other than Claims of a kind specified in Bankruptcy Code §§ 507(a)(1), 507(a)(2) and 507(a)(8); (2) specifies Classes of Claims and Equity Interests that are not Impaired under the Plan; (3) specifies the treatment of Classes of Claims and Equity Interests that are Impaired under the Plan; (4) provides the same treatment for each Claim or Equity Interest of a particular Class, unless the holder of a particular Claim or Equity Interest agrees to less favorable treatment of their respective Claim or Equity Interest; (5) provides for adequate means for the Plan’s implementation; (6) provides for the inclusion in the charter of the Debtors, of a provision prohibiting the issuance of nonvoting equity securities, and providing, as to the several classes of securities possessing voting power, an appropriate distribution of such power among such classes; and (7) contains only provisions that are consistent with the interests of holders of Claims and Equity Interests and with public policy with respect to the manner of selection of any officer or director of the Debtors and the Creditors Trustee on and after

4

the Effective Date.  Therefore, the Plan satisfies the requirements of Bankruptcy Code § 1123(a).

D.            As permitted by Bankruptcy Code § 1123(b), the Plan: (1) impairs or leaves unimpaired Classes of Claims and Equity Interests; (2) provides for the assumption, rejection or assignment of executory contracts and unexpired leases of the Debtors; (3) provides for the settlement or adjustment of certain claims or interests belonging to the Debtors or their Estates and for the retention and enforcement by the Creditors Trustee of certain claims or interests; (4) provides for the limited substantive consolidation of the Debtors’ Estates; (5) enjoins certain acts by holders of Claims or Equity Interests; (6) exculpates certain Persons from certain claims and causes of action; (7) contains a release of claims and causes of action of, among others, the Debtors and their Estates that could be asserted against certain Persons; and (8) includes other appropriate provisions not inconsistent with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

E.             The relief provided in Sections 15.4, 15.5, and 15.6 of the Plan is fair and necessary for the orderly implementation of the Plan, administration of the Creditors Trust, and the liquidation of the Creditors Trust Assets.

F.             Therefore, the Plan satisfies the requirements of Bankruptcy Code § 1123.

Notice, Solicitation and Acceptance

G.            In accordance with Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 3019, 6006 and 9014 and the Disclosure Statement Order, the Court finds and concludes that adequate notice of the time for filing objections to confirmation of the Plan and adequate notice of the Confirmation Hearing was provided to all holders of Claims and Equity Interests and other parties in interest entitled to receive such notice under the Bankruptcy Code and

5

the Bankruptcy Rules.  No other or further notice of the Confirmation Hearing or confirmation of the Plan is necessary or required.

H.            In accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1126(b) and the Disclosure Statement Order, the Court finds and concludes that: (1) the solicitation of votes to accept or reject the Plan complied with all applicable bankruptcy and nonbankruptcy laws, rules and regulations governing the adequacy of disclosure in connection with the solicitation; and (2) the solicitation was conducted after disclosure of “adequate information” as defined in Bankruptcy Code § 1125(a).

I.              The Court finds and concludes that the Plan Proponents and their respective directors, officers, employees, members, attorneys and agents solicited votes to accept or reject the Plan in good faith and in compliance with the Disclosure Statement Order and other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and that the Plan Proponents and their respective directors, officers, employees, members, attorneys and agents that are deemed to have participated in the offer, issuance, sale or purchase of any securities of the Debtors or the Creditors Trust offered or sold under the Plan did so in good faith and in compliance with the Disclosure Statement Order and other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code; and therefore, they are all fully entitled to the rights, benefits and protections afforded by Bankruptcy Code § 1125(e).

J.             The Court finds and concludes that: (1) Classes 1 through 3 are not Impaired and are deemed to have accepted the Plan without voting pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1126(f); (2) Classes 4 and 5 have accepted the Plan by satisfying the voting requirements set out in Bankruptcy Code § 1126(c); and (3) Classes 6 and 7 are not entitled to receive or retain any property under the Plan on account of their

6

respective Subordinated Claims and Equity Interests and are deemed to have rejected the Plan without voting pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1126(g).

Compliance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129

K.            In accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(1), the Court finds and concludes that the Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

L.             In accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(2), the Court finds and concludes that the Plan Proponents have complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

M.           In accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(3), the Court finds and concludes that the Plan Proponents have proposed the Plan in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law and the Plan Proponents have acted, and are presently acting, in good faith in conjunction with all aspects of the Plan.  All transactions contemplated by the Plan were negotiated and consummated at arm’s-length, without collusion, and in good faith.

N.            In accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(4), the Court finds and concludes that all payments made or to be made by the Debtors or by a Person issuing securities or acquiring property under the Plan, for services or for costs and expenses in, or in connection with, these Cases, or in connection with the Plan and incident to these Cases, have been approved by, or are subject to approval of, the Court as reasonable.

O.            In accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(5), the Court finds and concludes that: (1) the Plan Proponents have disclosed the identity and affiliations of all individuals initially proposed to serve, after the Effective Date of the Plan, as directors and officers of the Debtors; (2) the appointment of the individuals disclosed to serve,

7

after the Effective Date, as directors and officers of the Debtors is consistent with the interests of holders of Claims and Equity Interests and with public policy; and (3) the Plan Proponents have disclosed that no insiders will be employed by the Debtors.

P.             In accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(6), the Court finds and concludes that the Debtors are not subject to any governmental regulation of any rates.

Q.            In accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(7), the Court finds and concludes that with respect to Impaired Classes of Claims or Equity Interests (i.e., Classes 4 through 7), each holder of a Claim or Equity Interest has accepted the Plan or will receive or retain under the Plan, on account of such Claim or Equity Interest, property of a value, as of the Effective Date, that is not less than the amount that such holder would so receive or retain if the Debtors were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on such date.

R.            In accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(8), the Court finds and concludes that: (1) Classes 1 through 3 are not Impaired under the Plan and are deemed to have accepted the Plan; and (2) Classes 4 and 5 have accepted the Plan.  With respect to Classes 6 and 7, which are deemed to have rejected the Plan, the Court finds and concludes that, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1129(b)(1) and (2), the Plan does not discriminate unfairly, and is fair and equitable because no holders of junior Claims or Equity Interests will receive or retain any property under the Plan.

S.             The Court finds and concludes that the Plan’s treatment of Claims of a kind specified in Bankruptcy Code §§ 507(a)(1) through (8) satisfies the requirements set forth in Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(9).

8

T.            In accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(10), the Court finds and concludes that at least one Class of Claims that is Impaired under the Plan has voted to accept the Plan, without including acceptances of the Plan by any insider.

U.            The Plan provides for the liquidation of the Debtors’ Estates; therefore, Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(11) is not applicable. Nevertheless, the Court finds and concludes that confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the need for further financial reorganization or liquidation of the Debtors not otherwise proposed in the Plan and that the Plan is feasible.

V.            In accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(12), the Court finds and concludes that, to the extent that fees payable to the United States Trustee under 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a)(6) have not been paid, the Plan provides for the payment of all such fees on the Effective Date of the Plan and as they come due after the Effective Date.

W.           In accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(13), the Court finds and concludes that the Debtors did not provide retiree benefits (as defined in Bankruptcy Code § 1114) prior to the Initial Petition Date and have not begun to do so during these Cases; and therefore, payment of retiree benefits need not be continued.

X.            The Court finds and concludes that the principal purpose of the Plan is not the avoidance of taxes or the avoidance of the application of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, and there has been no objection filed by any governmental unit asserting such avoidance.

Y.            Therefore, the Court finds and concludes that the Plan satisfies the requirements of Bankruptcy Code § 1129.

9

Limited Substantive Consolidation

Z.            The Court finds and concludes that the limited substantive consolidation of the Debtors’ Estates as provided in the Plan is appropriate.

Creditors Trust

AA.        The Court finds and concludes that the Creditors Trust (1) is to be created to liquidate the Creditors Trust Assets in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-4(d) and to make Distributions to certain holders of Allowed Claims in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Creditors Trust Agreement; and (2) is not otherwise authorized to engage in any trade or business.

Modifications to the Plan

BB.          The Court finds and concludes that all modifications made to the Plan after solicitation of votes on the Plan had commenced, as reflected in this Confirmation Order, as set forth in the record at the Confirmation Hearing, or as reflected in the Plan Documents, satisfy the requirements of Bankruptcy Code § 1127(a) and Bankruptcy Rule 3019, are not material, and do not adversely affect the treatment and rights of the holders of any Claim or Equity Interest under the Plan who have not otherwise accepted, in writing, such modifications.  Accordingly, the Plan Proponents have satisfied Bankruptcy Code § 1127(c) and Bankruptcy Rule 3019 with respect to the Plan, as modified; and holders of Claims or Equity Interests that have accepted or rejected the Plan (or are deemed to have accepted or rejected the Plan) are deemed to have accepted or rejected, as the case may be, the Plan as modified on the date of this Confirmation Order, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1127(d) and Bankruptcy Rule 3019.

10

Exemptions

CC.          The Court finds and concludes that, in accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1145, the issuance of the Creditors Trust Interests to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and of the common stock in each of the Debtors to the Creditors Trustee under the Plan is pursuant to a plan of liquidation and is a distribution in exchange for Claims against, or Equity Interests in, the Debtors.  Therefore, such issued securities are exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other applicable federal law, and any state or local law requiring registration for offer or sale of a security or registration or licensing of an issuer of, underwriter of or broker dealer in such securities.  None of the Debtors, the Creditors Trust, or the Creditors Trustee are underwriters within the meaning on Bankruptcy Code § 1145(b).

DD.         The Court finds and concludes that, in accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1146(c) the following shall not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, stamp act or real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax or other similar tax or governmental assessment: (1) the issuance, distribution, transfer or exchange of the common stock in each of the Debtors and the Creditors Trust Interests; (2) the creation, modification, consolidation or recording of any deed of trust or other security interest, the securing of additional indebtedness by such means or by other means in furtherance of, or connection with, the Plan or this Confirmation Order; (3) the making, assignment, modification or recording of any lease or sublease; or (4) the making, delivery, or recording of a deed or other instrument of transfer under, in furtherance of, or in connection with, the Plan, the transfer of the Creditors Trust Assets to the Creditors Trustee, this Confirmation Order,

11

or any transaction contemplated above, or any transactions arising out of, contemplated by, or in any way related to, the foregoing.

Transactions Pursuant to the Plan

EE.          The Court finds and concludes that pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and in consideration of the distributions and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of the Plan constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all Claims against and Equity Interests in the Debtors.

FF.          The Court finds and concludes that the Debtors’ transfer of the Creditors Trust Assets (including, but not limited to, Causes of Action), to the Creditors Trust in accordance with the Plan and the Creditors Trust Agreement is reasonable and necessary and made in accordance with applicable state law and applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Bankruptcy Code § 1123(b)(3)(B).

GG.  The Court finds and concludes that the issuance and distribution of the common stock in each of the Debtors to the Creditors Trustee and the Creditors Trust Interests to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims in accordance with the provisions of the Plan is reasonable and necessary.

HH.         The Court finds and concludes that the assumption, assumption and assignment, and rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases pursuant to the Plan is a reasonable exercise of the Debtors’ business judgment and is in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates.  The Court further finds that (1) the Debtors have cured or will promptly cure, any defaults in contracts and leases which have been assumed by the Debtors; and (2) the Debtors and the Creditors Trust have demonstrated adequate assurance of future performance under any such assumed contracts and leases.

12

Miscellaneous

II.            The Court finds and concludes that questions regarding or issues relating to the personal property, including racking and conveyor systems, which were located at a leased warehouse facility in Albany, New York and which were abandoned by the Estates by Order of the Court [Docket No. 342], shall be directed to counsel to the Debtors and, after the Effective Date, counsel to the Creditors Trustee.

JJ.            The Court finds and concludes that, upon entry of this Confirmation Order, each term and provision of the Plan and the Plan Documents is valid and enforceable pursuant to their terms.

KK.         The Court finds and concludes that all documents necessary to implement the Plan shall be, upon execution on or after the Effective Date, valid, binding and enforceable agreements not in conflict with any federal or state laws, and without regard to actual execution by the parties thereto.

LL.          In accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a), the Court finds and concludes that the Plan is dated, and the entities submitting it, or filing it, are identified.

MM.       The Court finds and concludes that, except as necessary to be consistent with the Plan, the confirmation and consummation of the Plan shall have no effect on insurance policies of any of the Debtors or the Estates in which any of the Debtors are or were an insured party.

NN.         The Court finds that confirmation of the Plan is in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, Creditors, holders of Equity Interests, and all other parties in interest.

13

OO.         All findings of fact and conclusions of law announced by this Bankruptcy Court on the record in connection with confirmation of the Plan or otherwise at the Confirmation Hearing are incorporated herein by reference.

PP.          All findings of fact that are conclusions of law shall be deemed to be conclusions of law, and all conclusions of law which are findings of fact shall be deemed to be findings of fact.

property of each of the Debtors’ Estates shall be deemed to be property of a consolidated entity consisting of all of the Debtor’s Estates.  Each Claim against any of the Debtors will be deemed to be a Claim against a consolidated entity consisting of all of the Debtors, and any Proof of Claim filed against one or more of the Debtors will be deemed to have been filed against the consolidated entity.  All intercompany Claims and Administrative Claims by and among the Debtors will be eliminated and cancelled.  All guarantees by one of the Debtors in favor of any of the other Debtors will be eliminated, and all guarantees executed by any of the Debtors in favor of a Creditor will be deemed to be a single obligation.  For purposes of determining the availability of the right of setoff under Bankruptcy Code § 553, the Debtors shall be treated as one entity so that, subject to the other provisions of Bankruptcy Code § 553 and the Plan, debts due to any of the Debtors may be set off against the debts of any of the Debtors.  Substantive consolidation shall have no effect on valid, enforceable, and unavoidable Liens, including the Liens of the Bank Group, except for Liens that secure a Claim that is eliminated by virtue of substantive consolidation and Liens against Collateral that ceases to exist by virtue of substantive consolidation.  Substantive consolidation shall not (a) create a Claim in a Class different from the Class in which a Claim would have been placed in the absence of substantive consolidation; (b) change the priority or nature of a Claim in a manner different from the priority or nature of such Claim in the absence of substantive consolidation; (c) affect each Debtors’ separate corporate existence or independent ownership of property for any purposes other than for the limited purpose of making Distributions under the Plan; or (d) affect any Causes of Action, including Avoidance Actions, of each of the Debtors.

Such Orders may be presented without further notice other than as has been given in the Plan and this Confirmation Order.  The transfer and assignment of the Creditors Trust Assets to the Creditors Trust on the Effective Date shall be made pursuant to the terms of the Plan and this Confirmation Order and to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be exempt from all stamp taxes and similar taxes within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code § 1146(c).

10.           The function, duties, and responsibilities of the Creditors Trust Committee shall be set forth in the Creditors Trust Agreement, which is attached to the Plan as Exhibit 1.

17

Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

11.           Unless the Debtors have previously assumed, or Filed a motion to assume or unless otherwise provided herein, an executory contract or an unexpired lease as provided by Bankruptcy Code § 365(a), all executory contracts or unexpired leases, if any, shall be deemed rejected effective as of (a) the Subsequent Petition Date for executory contracts and unexpired leases with International and (b) the Initial Petition Date for executory contracts and unexpired leases with any of the Debtors (other than International).

12.           On the Effective Date, the Debtors shall assume and assign to the Creditors Trust, executory contracts with Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (Cigna) or Prudential Financial Group, if any, relating to the provision of medical, dental, health, life insurance or other benefits plans (the “Benefits Agreements”) and executory contracts with JD Edwards relating to the financial and operational software licenses utilized by the Debtors (the “JD Edwards Agreements”).  The Debtors are not in arrears of any obligations under the Benefits Agreements or JD Edwards Agreements and they shall not make any cure payments with respect thereto.  These assumptions and assignments to the Creditors Trust are APPROVED.

Approvals

13.           All actions and transactions contemplated under the Plan, including, but not limited to, any certificates, agreements, or other documents to be executed in connection with the conveyance of all of the Creditors Trust Assets to the Creditors Trust, hereby are authorized without the need of further approvals, notices or meetings of the Debtors’ boards of directors or stockholders.  No further approvals, notices or meetings of any Debtor’s board of directors or holders of Equity Interests are necessary

18

to effectuate the Plan, and any officer of each respective Debtor is authorized and directed to execute any document, certificate or agreement necessary to effectuate the Plan on behalf of such Debtor, which documents, certificates and agreements shall be binding on the Debtors and all holders of Claims and Equity Interests.  The Creditors Trustee is vested with authority to take any action on behalf of the Debtors that would otherwise require the approval of shareholders, board of directors, or officers of any of the Debtors.  From and after the Effective Date, the existing board of directors and/or officers of each of the Debtors shall have no further duties or responsibilities with respect to the applicable Debtor or the Creditors Trust.  Following the Effective Date, the Creditors Trustee may effectuate the dissolution of each of the Debtors in accordance with applicable state law and in the manner most tax efficient for the Creditors Trust.

Cancellation of Existing Interests

14.           On the Effective Date, all Equity Interests in the Debtors shall be terminated and extinguished and the certificates that previously evidenced ownership of the existing Equity Interests shall be deemed cancelled (all without further action by any Person or the Bankruptcy Court) and shall be null and void and such certificates shall evidence no rights or interests in any of the Debtors

BACKGROUND AND PLAN SUMMARY

Each of the Debtors is a direct or indirect subsidiary of International, a corporation that was founded in 1977 as a computer supplies reseller in Richardson, Texas.  International is a holding company that, by and through the other Debtors and certain direct and indirect foreign subsidiaries, was a leading global distributor of (a) computer supplies, and (b) professional tape products.  As of the Initial Petition Date, International's stock was quoted on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “DZTK.”

International's primary domestic operating subsidiary was Inc., which in turn owned Arlington, DSI, and Tape.  As of the Initial Petition Date, International's primary foreign operating subsidiary was ISA International PLC (“ISA”), and Inc.'s primary foreign operating subsidiaries were Etertin S.A. (“Daisytek Argentina”), Daisytek Australia Pty Ltd. (“Daisytek Australia”), Daisytek (Canada) Inc. (“Daisytek Canada”), and Daisytek de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“Daisytek Mexico”).

On the Initial Petition Date, each of the Debtors, with the exception of International, filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.  On the Subsequent Petition Date, International filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.  On May 16, 2003, ISA and Daisytek Australia each appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers as their voluntary administrators under the insolvency laws of the United Kingdom and Australia, respectively, to assume the day-to-day management of their respective operations.  None of Daisytek Argentina, Daisytek Canada or Daisytek Mexico are debtors in these Cases or subject to proceedings under foreign insolvency laws.

Prior to the Initial Petition Date, the Debtors determined, in the exercise of their business judgment, that it was in their best interests, and that of their creditors, to wind down the operations of Inc. and Daisytek Latin America.  By May 2003, the Debtors had completed the wind down of Daisytek Latin America.  The Debtors continue to wind down Inc. by, inter alia, reducing Inc.'s workforce, rejecting unexpired leases and executory contracts, liquidating inventory, and collecting accounts receivable.  Pursuant to Orders of the Bankruptcy Court, the funds generated by the wind down of Inc. have been used to (a) reduce the balance outstanding under the Bank Group Credit Agreement; and (b) fund the Debtors' operations during the pendency of these Cases.

10

After the commencement of the Cases, the Debtors, in consultation with the Bank Group and the Committee, determined that the sale of (a) the assets of Arlington, DSI, and Tape on a going concern basis; (b) certain intellectual property assets of Inc.; and (c) the capital stock of Daisytek Argentina, Daisytek Canada, and Daisytek Mexico (collectively, the “Marketed Assets”) would be in the best interests of the Debtors' Estates and Creditors.  As a result, after the Debtors marketed the assets of DSI, identified a potential purchaser of such assets, and auctioned such assets, on June 25, 2003, the Court entered an Order approving the sale of the assets of DSI.  In conjunction with the sale of the remaining Marketed Assets, on July 7, 2003, the Court approved the retention of Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Capital Group (“HLHZ”) to, inter alia, seek potential purchasers of the remaining Marketed Assets.  Soon thereafter, the Debtors identified several parties interested in purchasing the remaining Marketed Assets.  After conducting a sales process for and auctions of the remaining Marketed Assets, the Debtors sought, and the Court approved, the sale of each of the remaining Marketed Assets.  Each of the sales of the Marketed Assets, which are summarized in the following table, has closed and funded:

Assets Sold	Date of Order Approving Sale	Buyer
Substantially All of the Assets of DSI	June 25, 2003	Dexxon Digital Storage, Inc.
Substantially All of the Assets of Arlington	August 29, 2003	Carolina Wholesale Office Machine Company
Certain of the Intellectual Property Assets of Inc.	August 29, 2003	United Stationers Supply Co.
Substantially All of the Assets of Tape	August 29, 2003	Discount Media Products, LLC
Capital Stock of Daisytek Canada	August 29, 2003	EMJ Data Systems, Ltd.
Capital Stock of Daisytek Argentina	September 12, 2003	Jorge A. Duoba, Federico J. Suner, Diego D. Verdejo, Shamai Idachkin, and Christian Gross
Capital Stock of Daisytek Mexico	September 12, 2003	Tonivisa Inc. S.A. de C.V.

11

Pursuant to Orders of the Bankruptcy Court, a substantial portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Marketed Assets have been used to pay off, on a provisional basis, the balance outstanding under the Bank Group Credit Agreement.

The Plan is a liquidating plan proposed by the Debtors that provides for Distributions in accordance with the priorities set forth in the Bankruptcy Code.  For purposes of Distributions under the Plan, the Cases shall be deemed to be one consolidated case as of the Effective Date.  Under the Plan, the Creditors Trust Assets, which include, but are not limited to, the remaining Cash proceeds from the sale of the Marketed Assets, Inc.'s remaining accounts receivable, amounts payable under certain holdbacks from Buyers of certain of the Marketed Assets, Avoidance Actions and other Causes of Action, shall be transferred to the Creditors Trust.  The Creditors Trust Assets first shall be used to pay holders of unpaid Administrative Claims, Professional Fee Claims, Priority Claims, and claims relating to U.S. Trustee Fees.

Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims shall receive a Pro Rata share of the Creditors Trust Interests.  The Creditors Trustee shall liquidate the remaining Creditors Trust Assets, as necessary, and make Pro Rata distributions of Cash to holders of Creditors Trust Interests (i.e. holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims) from time to time in such amounts as provided in the Plan.  Each holder of an Allowed Convenience Claim and those holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims electing to be treated as holders of Convenience Claims shall receive            % of the amount of the holder's Allowed Claim in one Cash payment subject to the cap provided herein.

Under the Plan, holders of Subordinated Claims and Equity Interests in the Debtors shall not be entitled to receive any Distributions or retain any property on account of their Subordinated Claims and Equity Interests against or in any of the Debtors.

12

Administrative Claim only to the extent allowed by Final Order; provided, however, that holders of Administrative Claims incurred and paid by any Debtor in the ordinary course during the Cases shall be deemed Allowed Claims and shall not be required to submit applications for approval of Administrative Claims.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any such Administrative Claim has been assumed by a Buyer, the holder of such Administrative Claim shall look solely to the Buyer and shall receive nothing from the Debtors, the Estates or the Creditors Trust.

3.3Professional Fee Claims.  Each Professional Person whose retention with respect to the Debtors' Cases has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court and who holds or asserts an Administrative Claim that is a Professional Fee Claim shall be required to file with the Bankruptcy Court, and to serve on all parties required to receive notice, a final Fee Application on or before the Post-Confirmation Bar Date.  The failure to file timely the Fee Application shall result in the Professional Fee Claim being forever barred and discharged.  A Professional Fee Claim with respect to which a Fee Application has been properly and timely filed pursuant to this Section 3.3 of the Plan shall be treated and paid as an Administrative Claim only to the extent allowed by Final Order.  No Professional Fee Claims shall be allowed on account of any services rendered by a Professional Person whose retention with respect to the Cases has not been approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

3.4U.S. Trustee Fees.  All U.S. Trustee Fees shall be paid in Cash in full on and after the Effective Date (or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter) from Creditors Trust Assets by the Creditors Trustee.

(g)Class 7.  On the Effective Date, each then-issued and outstanding Equity Interest in any of the Debtors shall be deemed cancelled and extinguished.  No holder of an Equity Interest in any of the Debtors shall be entitled to receive any Distribution or retain any property on account of its Equity Interest in any of the Debtors under this Plan or from the Creditors Trust.

16

5.3Designation of Impaired and Unimpaired Classes

(a)Impaired Classes of Claims.  Classes 4 and 5 Claims are Impaired, and therefore, holders of Classes 4 and 5 Claims are entitled to cast Ballots with respect to the Plan.  Class 6 Claims are also Impaired.  Because members of Class 6 are not entitled to receive or retain any property under the Plan, such members of Class 6 are deemed to have rejected the Plan and therefore the members of Class 6 are not entitled to cast Ballots with respect to the Plan.

(b)Impaired Classes of Equity Interests.  Class 7 Equity Interests are Impaired.  Because the members of Class 7 are not entitled to receive or retain any property under the Plan, such members of Class 7 are deemed to have rejected the Plan; and therefore, the members of Class 7 are not entitled to cast Ballots with respect to the Plan.

ARTICLE VI

ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF THE PLAN

6.1Classes Entitled to Vote.  Each Impaired Class of Claims that will receive or retain property or any interest in property under the Plan (i.e. Classes 4 and 5) shall be entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

6.2Acceptance by Impaired Classes of Claims.  An Impaired Class of Claims shall have accepted the Plan if (a) the holders (other than any holder designated under Bankruptcy Code § 1126(e)) 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 Bankruptcy Code § 1126(e)) of more than one-half in number of the Allowed Claims actually voting in such Class have voted to accept the Plan.

6.3Cramdown.  The Debtors hereby request Confirmation of the Plan, as it may be modified from time to time, under Bankruptcy Code § 1129(b).  The Debtors reserve the right to modify the Plan to the extent, if any, that Confirmation pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1129(b) requires modification or for any other reason in its discretion.

ARTICLE VII

MEANS FOR IMPLE MENTATION OF THE PLAN

7.1Conditions Precedent to The Effective Date.  Each of the following events shall occur on or before the Effective Date; provided however, the Debtors, with the consent of the Committee, may waive any or all of the following events, whereupon the Effective Date shall occur without further action by any Person:

17

(a)the Confirmation Order shall have been entered by the Bankruptcy Court and shall not be subject to a stay;

(b)the Cash held by the Estates is in an amount of not less than $                           or such lesser amount as the Debtors and the Committee may agree in writing;

(c)the Creditors Trustee shall be appointed by the Committee;

(d)the Creditors Trust Assets shall be transferred to the Creditors Trust;

(e)the Bankruptcy Court shall have determined that the Creditors Trustee is duly authorized to take the actions contemplated in the Plan and the Creditors Trust Agreement which approval and authorization may be set forth in the Confirmation Order;

(f)the Creditors Trust Agreement shall be executed and the Creditors Trust shall be established and become effective; and

(g)all other agreements contemplated by, or entered into pursuant to, the Plan and all documents required to be filed with the Plan Supplement, shall have been duly and validly executed and delivered by the parties thereto and all conditions to their effectiveness shall have been satisfied or waived.

7.2Substantive Consolidation.

(a)Effect of Substantive Consolidation.  For purposes of voting, confirmation, and Distributions under this Plan, the Cases shall be deemed to be one consolidated case as of the Effective Date.  All property of each of the Debtor's Estates shall be deemed to be property of a consolidated entity consisting of all of the Debtor's Estates.  Each Claim against any of the Debtors will be deemed to be a Claim against a consolidated entity consisting of all of the Debtors, and any Proof of Claim filed against one or more of the Debtors will be deemed to have been filed against the consolidated entity.  All intercompany Claims by and among the Debtors will be eliminated.  All guarantees by one of the Debtors in favor of any of the other Debtors will be eliminated, and all guarantees executed by any of the Debtors in favor of a Creditor will be deemed to be a single obligation.  For purposes of determining the availability of the right of setoff under Bankruptcy Code § 553, the Debtors shall be treated as one entity so that, subject to the other provisions of Bankruptcy Code § 553 and this Plan, debts due to any of the Debtors may be set off against the debts of any of the Debtors.  Substantive consolidation shall have no effect on valid, enforceable, and unavoidable Liens, including the Liens of the Bank Group, except for Liens that secure a Claim that is eliminated by virtue of substantive consolidation and Liens against Collateral that ceases to exist by virtue of substantive consolidation.  Substantive consolidation shall not (i) create a Claim in a Class different from the Class in which a Claim would have been placed in the absence of substantive consolidation; (ii) change the priority or

18

nature of a Claim in a manner different from the priority or nature of such Claim in the absence of substantive consolidation; (iii) affect each Debtors' separate corporate existence or independent ownership of property for any purposes other than for the purpose of making Distributions under the Plan; or (iv) affect any Causes of Action, including Avoidance Actions, of each of the Debtors.

(b)Approval of Substantive Consolidation.  Unless the Bankruptcy Court has approved the substantive consolidation of the Cases by a prior Order, this Plan shall serve as, and shall be deemed to be, a motion for entry of an order substantively consolidating the Cases.  The Plan shall be conclusively deemed to be adequate notice that the Debtors seek the substantive consolidation of the Cases, and no further notice shall be given prior to the presentation of the Confirmation Order.  Any objections to substantive consolidation must be made as an objection to Confirmation of the Plan to be heard at the Confirmation Hearing.  If no objection to substantive consolidation is timely Filed and served by any holder of an Impaired Claim affected by the Plan as provided herein on or before the Voting Deadline in accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1126, or such other date as may be established by the Bankruptcy Court, the Order (which may be the Confirmation Order) that substantively consolidates the Cases may be entered by the Bankruptcy Court.  If any such objections are filed and served timely, a hearing with respect to the substantive consolidation of the Cases, and the objections thereto, shall be scheduled by the Bankruptcy Court, which hearing may, but is not required to, coincide with the Confirmation Hearing.

7.3Creation of the Creditors Trust.  On the Effective Date, the Creditors Trust shall be formed pursuant to this Plan and the Creditors Trust Agreement (a form of which will be filed in the Plan Supplement) and the Creditors Trust Assets shall be transferred to and vest in the Creditors Trust pursuant to the terms of the Creditors Trust Agreement.  In accordance with this Plan and the Creditors Trust Agreement, the Creditors Trustee shall (a) pay or provide for payments required by the Plan to be made to holders of Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Professional Fee Claims, and U.S. Trustee Fees and to holders of Allowed Claims in Classes 1, 2, 3 and 4 and (b) distribute any remaining Creditors Trust Assets to the holders of Allowed Claims in Class 5.

7.4Plan is Motion to Transfer Creditors Trust Assets.  This Plan shall be considered a motion pursuant to Bankruptcy Code §§ 363(b) and (f) and 365 to transfer any and all Creditors Trust Assets as of the Effective Date to the Creditors Trust free and clear of Liens, Claims and encumbrances, except as otherwise provided in this Plan.  Any objections to such transfer must be made as an objection to Confirmation of the Plan to be heard at the Confirmation Hearing. After the Effective Date, the Creditors Trustee may present an Order or Orders to the Bankruptcy Court, suitable for filing in the records of every county or governmental agency where property of the Debtors is located, which provide that such property is conveyed to the Creditors Trust free and clear of all Liens, Claims, and encumbrances. The Order or Orders may designate all Liens, Claims, and encumbrances which appear of record and/or from which the property is being transferred free and clear. The Plan shall be conclusively deemed to be adequate notice that such Lien, Claim, or encumbrance is being extinguished, and

19

no notice, other than by the Plan, shall be given prior to the presentation of such Order.  Any Person having a Lien, Claim, or encumbrance against any Creditors Trust Assets shall be conclusively deemed to have consented to the transfer of such Property to the Creditors Trust free and clear of such Lien, Claim, or encumbrance by failing to object to confirmation of this Plan.

7.5Corporate Authority.  All actions and transactions contemplated under the Plan, including, but not limited to, any certificates, agreements or other documents to be executed in connection with the conveyance of all of the Creditors Trust Assets to the Creditors Trust, shall be authorized upon Confirmation of the Plan without the need of further approvals, notices or meetings of the Debtors' boards of directors or stockholders, other than the notice provided by serving this Plan on (a) all known holders of Claims and (b) all current directors of each of the Debtors. The Confirmation Order shall include provisions dispensing with the need of further approvals, notices or meetings of any Debtor's board of directors or holders of Equity Interests and authorizing and directing any officer of each respective Debtor to execute any document, certificate or agreement necessary to effectuate the Plan on behalf of such Debtor, which documents, certificates and agreements shall be binding on the Debtors, the Creditors and all Equity Interest holders.  The Creditors Trustee is vested with authority to take any action on behalf of the Debtors that would otherwise require the approval of shareholders, board of directors, or officers of any of the Debtors.  From and after the Effective Date, the existing board of directors and/or officers of each of the Debtors shall have no further duties or responsibilities with respect to the applicable Debtor or the Creditors Trust.  Following the Effective Date, the Creditors Trustee may effectuate the dissolution of each of the Debtors in accordance with applicable state law and in the manner most tax efficient for the Creditors Trust.

7.6Issuance of Creditors Trust Interests.  It is an integral and essential element of the Plan that the issuance of the Creditors Trust Interests pursuant to the Plan shall be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and similar state laws pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1145.  The Confirmation Order shall include a finding and conclusion, binding upon all parties to the Cases, the Creditors Trustee, the Securities Exchange Commission and all other federal and state regulatory enforcement agencies, to the effect that such offer and issuance fall within the exemption(s) from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1145.  In lieu of certificates evidencing the Creditors Trust Interests, the Creditors Trustee shall maintain a register of the names, addresses, and interest percentages of the Creditors Trust Beneficiaries based upon the provisions of the Plan which designate the Persons who are entitled to receive beneficial interests in the Creditors Trust.  On information and belief, no Person qualifies as an “underwriter” as that term is defined in Bankruptcy Code § 1145(b).  Accordingly, the § 1145 exemption applies to the Creditors Trust Interests.  If applicable, the Creditors Trustee shall provide a legend on any certificate issued with respect to the Creditors Trust Interests that states that such interests were not registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the § 1145 exemption.  The Creditors Trust Interests may not be sold, or otherwise disposed of, or offered for sale unless registration statements under such acts with respect to such

20

Creditors Trust Interests are then in effect or exemptions from the registration statements of such acts are then applicable to such offer or sale.

7.7Cancellation of Existing Interests.  On the Effective Date, all Equity Interests in the Debtors shall be terminated and extinguished and the certificates that previously evidenced ownership of the existing Equity Interests shall be deemed cancelled (all without further action by any Person or the Bankruptcy Court) and shall be null and void and such certificates shall evidence no rights or interests in any of the Debtors.

7.8Amendment of Debtors' Articles and By-Laws.  On the Effective Date, each of the Debtors' articles of incorporation and by-laws shall be amended and all necessary corporate action will be taken to:

(a)prohibit the issuance of non-voting equity securities, and providing, as to the several classes of securities possessing voting power, an appropriate distribution of such power among such classes, including, in the case of any class of equity securities having a preference over another class of equity securities with respect to dividends, adequate provisions for the election of directors representing such preferred class in the event of default in the payment of such dividends;

(b)provide for the cancellation of all issued and outstanding capital stock of each of the Debtors, including without limitation, all Equity Interests in such Debtor;

(c)provide for the issuance of one share of common stock in each of the Debtors to the Creditors Trust, representing 100% of all issued and outstanding common stock of each of the Debtors;

(d)provide for the termination of all officers and directors of the Debtors, effective as of the day after the Effective Date; and

(e)provide for the election and appointment of the Creditors Trustee as the sole officer and director of each of the Debtors, effective as of the day after the Effective Date.

ARTICLE VIII

THE CREDITORS TRUST AND THE CREDITORS TRUSTEE

8.1The Creditors Trust.  The Creditors Trust is created for the purpose of liquidating the Creditors Trust Assets in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-4(d) and making Distributions to certain holders of Allowed Claims, and the Creditors Trust is not otherwise authorized to engage in any trade or business.  The beneficiaries of the Creditors Trust, who will be treated as the grantors and deemed owners, are the holders of Allowed Claims in Class 5.  The Creditors Trustee shall file federal income tax returns for the Creditors Trust as a grantor trust pursuant to § 1.671-1(a) of the Federal Income Tax Regulations.

21

8.2Funding of Res of Trust.  To fund the Creditors Trust, by operation of the Confirmation Order, the Creditors Trustee shall be in possession of, and have title to, all the Creditors Trust Assets as of the Effective Date.  The Creditors Trustee shall be substituted as the plaintiff in all lawsuits pending in which any of the Debtors or the Committee is the plaintiff as of the Effective Date. The conveyances of all Creditors Trust Assets shall be accomplished pursuant to this Plan and the Confirmation Order and shall be effective upon the Effective Date, without the need of further documentation or instruments of conveyance, other than the Plan and the Confirmation Order.  Upon the Effective Date, the Creditors 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 herein, (b) assignments of bank accounts containing Cash in the possession of the Debtors and the Estates, and (c) an assignment, bill of sale, deed and/or release covering all other Creditors Trust Assets. The Creditors Trust shall hold the Creditors Trust Assets free and clear of any Liens, Claims, encumbrances, or interests in such property of any other Person except as provided in the Plan.  The Creditors Trustee may present such Orders to the Bankruptcy Court as may be necessary to require third parties to accept and acknowledge such conveyance to the Creditors Trust. Such Orders may be presented without further notice other than as has been given in this Plan.  The transfer and assignment of the Creditors Trust Assets to the Creditors Trust on the Effective Date shall be made pursuant to the terms of this Plan and to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be exempt from all stamp taxes and similar taxes within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code § 1146(c).

For all federal income tax purposes, all Persons (including, without limitation, the Debtors, the Creditors Trustee, the Creditors Trust Committee, and the holders of Allowed and Disputed Claims) shall treat the transfer of the Creditors Trust Assets to the Creditors Trust, in accordance with the terms of the Plan, as a transfer to the holders of Allowed Class 5 Claims (and in respect of any Disputed claims in Class 5, to the Creditors Trust Committee on behalf of such Claims) followed by a transfer by such holders to the Creditors Trust (and in respect of any Disputed Claims in Class 5, by the Creditors Trust Committee to the Disputed Claim Reserve), and the Creditors Trust Beneficiaries (or the Disputed Claims Reserve) will be treated as the grantors and owners thereof.

8.3The Creditors Trustee.  The Creditors Trustee shall retain and have all the rights, powers and duties necessary to carry out its responsibilities under the Plan and Creditors Trust Agreement, and as otherwise provided in the Confirmation Order. The Creditors Trustee shall be the exclusive trustee of the Creditors Trust Assets for the purposes of 31 U.S.C. § 3713(b) and 26 U.S.C. § 6012(b)(3), as well as the representative of the Estates appointed pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1123(b)(3)(B).  Subject to the Bankruptcy Court's approval and appointment of the selection of the Creditors Trustee at the Confirmation Hearing, a Person to be designated by the Committee in the Plan Supplement shall initially serve as the Creditors Trustee. Matters relating to the appointment, removal and resignation of the Creditors Trustee and the appointment of any successor Creditors Trustee shall be set forth in the Creditors Trust Agreement; provided that the Creditors Trust Agreement shall authorize the Creditors

22

Trust Committee, in its sole discretion, to remove the Creditors Trustee at any time.  The Creditors Trustee shall be required to perform its duties as set forth in this Plan and the Creditors Trust Agreement.

8.4Retention of Professionals.  The Creditors Trustee shall have the right to retain the services of attorneys, accountants, and other agents that, in the discretion of the Creditors Trustee, are necessary to assist the Creditors Trustee in the performance of its duties.  The reasonable fees and expenses of such Professionals shall be paid by the Creditors Trust upon the monthly submission of statements to the Creditors Trustee.  The payment of the reasonable fees and expenses of the Creditors Trustee's retained Professionals shall be made in the ordinary course of business from the Creditors Trust and shall not be subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court.  Professionals of the Debtors and the Committee in these Cases shall be eligible for retention by the Creditors Trustee.

8.5Compensation of the Creditors Trustee.  The Creditors Trustee's compensation, on a post-Effective Date basis, shall be determined by the Committee and disclosed in the Plan Supplement. The payment of the fees of the Creditors Trustee and any Professionals retained by the Creditors Trustee shall be made in accordance with the Creditors Trust Agreement.

8.6Creditors Trust Expenses.  Subject to the provisions of the Creditors Trust Agreement, all costs, expenses and obligations incurred by the Creditors Trustee  in administering this Plan, the Creditors Trust or in any manner connected, incidental or related thereto, in effecting distributions from the Creditors Trust hereunder (including the reimbursement of reasonable expenses) shall be a charge against the Creditors Trust Assets remaining from time to time in the hands of the Creditors Trustee. Such expenses shall be paid as they are incurred without the need for Bankruptcy Court approval.

8.7Liability; Indemnification.  Neither the Creditors Trustee, nor any of its Professionals, nor any duly designated agent or representative of the Creditors Trustee, or their respective employees, shall be liable for the act or omission of any other designee, agent or representative of the Creditors Trustee, other than acts or omissions resulting from such Person's willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud.  The Creditors Trustee may, in connection with the performance of its functions, and in its sole absolute discretion, consult with attorneys, accountants and agents, and shall not be liable for any act taken, omitted to be taken, or suffered to be done in accordance with advice or opinions rendered by such Professionals.  Notwithstanding such authority, the Creditors Trustee shall be under no obligation to consult with attorneys, accountants or its agents, and its determination to not do so should not result in imposition of liability on the Creditors Trustee unless such determination is based on willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud.  The Creditors Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless the Creditors Trustee and its agents, representatives, Professionals, and employees from and against and in respect to any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses, including, but not limited to attorneys' fees and costs arising out of or due to their actions or omissions, or consequences of such actions or

23

omissions, with respect to the Creditors Trust or the implementation or administration of the Plan; provided, however, that no such indemnification will be made to such Persons for such actions or omissions as a result of willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud.

8.8Preservation of Rights of Action; Settlement of Litigation Claims.

(a)Preservation of Rights of Action.  The Creditors Trustee shall be appointed representative of the Estates for the benefit of holders of Allowed Class 5 Claims and, except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court and subject to any releases in the Plan, shall retain all Causes of Action, and may enforce, sue on, settle or compromise (or decline to do any of the foregoing) any or all of the Causes of Action.  Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the Creditors Trustee shall be vested with authority and standing to prosecute any Causes of Action.  The Causes of Action retained by the Creditors Trustee shall include, without limitation, any Avoidance Actions and any other Causes of Action or potential Causes of Action identified in the Disclosure Statement.  The Debtors, their existing and former directors, existing and former officers, attorneys and other professional advisors shall have no liability for pursuing or failing to pursue any such Causes of Action vested in the Creditors Trust.

(b)Settlement of Litigation Claims and Disputed Claims.  At any time after the Confirmation Date and before the Effective Date, notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Debtors, with the consent of the Committee, may settle some or all of the Causes of Action or the Disputed Claims subject to obtaining any necessary Bankruptcy Court approval.

8.9Termination.

The duties, responsibilities and powers of the Creditors Trustee shall terminate after all Creditors Trust Assets, including Causes of Action transferred and assigned to the Creditors Trust or involving the Creditors Trustee on behalf of the Creditors Trust are fully resolved, abandoned or liquidated and the Available Cash has been distributed in accordance with this Plan and the Creditors Trust Agreement.  The Creditors Trust shall terminate no later than three (3) years from the Effective Date.  However, if warranted by the facts and circumstances provided for in the Plan, and subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court upon a finding that an extension is necessary for the purpose of the Creditors Trust, the term of the Creditors Trust may be extended, one or more times (not to exceed a total of four (4) total extensions, unless the Creditors Trustee receives a favorable ruling form the Internal Revenue Service that any further extension would not adversely affect the status of the Creditors Trust as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes) for a finite period, not to exceed six (6) months, based on the particular circumstances at issue.  Each such extension must be approved by the Bankruptcy Court within two (2) months prior to the beginning of the extended term with notice thereof to all of the unpaid beneficiaries of the Creditors Trust.  Upon the occurrence of the termination of the Creditors Trust, the Creditors Trustee shall file with the Bankruptcy Court a report thereof, seeking an order discharging the Creditors Trustee.

24

8.10Management of the Debtors Post-Effective Date.  The Creditors Trustee, as the sole officer and director of each of the Debtors after the Effective Date, may, if the Creditors Trustee deems it necessary or otherwise appropriate, undertake all action necessary to:

(a)maintain the separate corporate existence of each of the Debtors, or determine that each of the Debtors should be dissolved pursuant to state law and undertake any action to implement such dissolution;

(b)ensure each of the Debtors is and remains in good standing and in compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws;

(c)file any federal, state and local tax returns and provide for payment of any taxes related thereto; and

Notwithstanding such authority, the Creditors Trust Committee shall be under no obligation to consult with attorneys, accountants or its agents, and its determination to not do so shall not result in the imposition of liability on the Creditors Trust Committee, or its members and/or designees, unless such determination is based on willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud.  The Creditors Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless the Creditors Trust Committee and its members, designees, and Professionals, and any duly designated agent or representative thereof (in their capacity as such), from and against and in respect to any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses, including, but not limited to attorneys' fees and costs arising out of or due to their actions or omissions, or consequences of such actions or omissions with respect to the Creditors Trust or the implementation or administration of the Plan; provided, however, that no such indemnification will be made to such Persons for such actions or omissions as a result of willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud.

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS GENERALLY

10.1Distributions for Claims Allowed as of the Effective Date.  Except as otherwise provided herein or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, Distributions, whether of Cash or Creditors Trust Interests, to be made on account of Claims that are Allowed Claims, as of the Effective Date, shall be made as soon as practicable after the Effective Date.  Distributions on account of Claims that first become Allowed Claims after the Effective Date shall be made pursuant to Article XI of this Plan.  The Creditors Trustee shall make all Distributions of Cash required to be distributed under the applicable provisions of the Plan and the Creditors Trust Agreement.  The Creditors Trustee may employ or contract with other Persons to assist in or make the Distributions required by the Plan as provided for in the Creditors Trust Agreement.

10.2Means of Cash Payment.  Cash payments made pursuant to this Plan shall be in U.S. funds, by the means determined by the Creditors Trustee, including by check or wire transfer.

10.3Delivery of Distribution.  Distributions to holders of Allowed Claims shall be made (a) at the addresses set forth on the Proofs of Claim Filed by such holders (or at the last known addresses of such holders if no Proof of Claim is Filed or if the Debtors have been notified of a change of address); (b) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Creditors Trustee after the date of any related Proof of Claim; or (c) if no Proof of Claim has been Filed and the Creditors Trustee has not received a written notice of a change of address, at the addresses reflected in the Bankruptcy Schedules, if any.

10.4Fractional Dollars; De Minimis Distributions.  Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, payments of fractions of dollars shall not be made.  Whenever any payment of a fraction of a dollar under the Plan would otherwise be called for, actual payment made shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar (up or down).  The Creditors Trustee shall not make any payment of less than twenty-five dollars ($25.00) with respect to any Claim unless a request therefor is made in writing to the Creditors Trustee.

27

Creditors Trustee may have against the holder of such Claim; provided, however, neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Creditors Trustee of any such Claim that the Debtors or the Creditors Trustee may have against such holder, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by such holder and the Debtors or the Creditors Trustee.

10.7Duty to Disgorge Overpayments.  To the extent that a Claim may be an Allowed Claim in more than one Class, the holder of such Claim shall not be entitled to recover from the Creditors Trust more than the full amount of its Allowed Claim.  The holder of an Allowed Claim that receives more than payment in full of its Allowed Claim shall immediately return any excess payments to the Creditors Trust.  In the event that the holder of an Allowed Claim fails to return an excess payment, the Creditors Trustee may bring suit against such holder for the return of the overpayment in the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction.

(a)Deposits.  Undeliverable and Unclaimed Distributions shall be deposited by the Creditors Trustee into the Undeliverable Distribution Reserve, and any further distributions attributable to such Claim holder shall be deposited in the Undeliverable Distribution Reserve unless, in the case of a Distribution that is returned to the Creditors Trustee as undeliverable or otherwise unclaimed, the Creditors Trustee is notified in writing of such holder's then current address.

(b)Forfeiture.  Any holder of an Allowed Claim that does not assert a claim pursuant to the Plan for an Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distribution within one (1) year after the Effective Date shall be deemed to have forfeited its claim for such Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distribution and shall be forever barred and enjoined from asserting any such claim for the Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distribution against any Debtor, any Estate, the Creditors Trustee, the Creditors Trust, the Creditors Trust Committee, or their respective properties or assets.  In such cases, any Cash or other property held by the Creditors Trust in the Undeliverable Distribution Reserve for distribution on account of such claims for Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions, including the interest that has accrued on such Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distribution while in the Undeliverable Distribution Reserve, shall become the property of the Creditors Trust, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary, and shall be available for immediate distribution by the Creditors Trust according to the terms of the Creditors Trust Agreement.

(c)Disclaimer.  The Creditors Trustee, the Creditors Trust Committee, and their respective agents and attorneys are under no duty to take any action to either (a) attempt to locate any Claim holder, or (b) obtain an executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 from any Claim holder.

29

(d)Distribution from Reserve.  Within fifteen (15) Business Days of the holder of an Allowed Claim satisfying the requirements of this Plan, such that the distribution(s) attributable to its Claim is no longer an Undeliverable and Unclaimed Distribution (provided that satisfaction occurs within the time limits set forth in Section 12.2(b)), the Creditors Trustee shall distribute out of the Undeliverable Distribution Reserve the amount of the Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distribution attributable to such Claim, including the interest that has accrued on such Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distribution while in the Undeliverable Distribution Reserve.

12.3Disputed Claims Reserve.

(a)Determination of Amount.  With respect to any Disputed Claims, the Debtors, the Creditors Trustee, the Committee, or the Creditors Trust Committee may (a) request the Bankruptcy Court to estimate the allowable amount of any Disputed Claim, or (b) request the Bankruptcy Court to determine the amount of any distribution that must be deposited in the Disputed Claims Reserve for any given Disputed Claim.

(b)Deposits.  Upon delivery by the Creditors Trustee of a Distribution to holders of Allowed Claims within a Class, the Creditors Trustee shall deposit the applicable Disputed Claim Deposit into the Disputed Claims Reserve.

(c)Distribution After Allowance.  Within fifteen (15) Business Days after a Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, the Creditors Trustee shall distribute out of the Disputed Claims Reserve the amount to which the holder of such Claim is entitled under this Plan, including the interest which has accrued on said amount while on deposit in the Disputed Claims Reserve.  Upon disallowance, in whole or in part, of a Disputed Claim, the amount on deposit in the Disputed Claims Reserve attributable to such Disallowed Claim amount, including the interest which has accrued on said amount while on deposit in the Disputed Claims Reserve, shall be property of the Creditors Trust to distribute in accordance with the other provisions of the Plan and the Creditors Trust Agreement.

ARTICLE XIII

ARTICLE XIV

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY

CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

Unless the Debtors have previously assumed, or Filed a motion to assume, an executory contract or an unexpired lease as provided by Bankruptcy Code § 365(a), Confirmation of the Plan shall constitute the rejection of all executory contracts or unexpired leases, if any, effective as of (a) the Subsequent Petition Date for executory contracts and unexpired leases with International and (b) the Initial Petition Date for executory contracts and unexpired leases with any of the Debtors (other than International).  The non-Debtor party to an executory contract or unexpired lease rejected under this Article XIV shall be required to File with the Bankruptcy Court within thirty (30) days after service of the earlier of (a) notice of entry of the Confirmation Order and (b) other notice that the executory contract or unexpired lease has been rejected, a Proof of Claim for all alleged damages resulting from such rejection.  The failure to timely File such Proof of Claim shall result in such Claim being forever barred and discharged.

ARTICLE XVII

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

17.1Revocation, Withdrawal or Non-Consummation.  The Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan prior to the Confirmation Date and to file

17.2Severability of Plan Provisions.  If, prior to Confirmation, any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court, at the request of the Debtors with the consent of the Committee, shall have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, and such term or provision shall then be applicable as altered or interpreted.  Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated by such holding, alteration or interpretation.  The Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it may be altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms.

17.3Rules of Interpretation; Computation of Time.  For purposes of the Plan, (a) any reference in the Plan to a contract, instrument, release, indenture, or other agreement or document as being in a particular form or containing particular terms and conditions means that such document shall be substantially in such form or substantially on such terms and conditions, (b) any reference in the Plan to an existing document or exhibit filed or to be filed means such document or exhibit as it may have been or may be amended, modified, or supplemented, (c) unless otherwise specified, all references in the Plan to Sections, Articles, and Exhibits, if any, are references to Sections, Articles, and Exhibits of or to the Plan, (d) the words “herein” and “hereto” refer to the Plan in its entirety rather than to a particular portion of the Plan, (e) captions and headings to Articles and Sections are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the interpretation of the Plan, and (f) the rules of construction set forth in Bankruptcy Code § 102 and in the Bankruptcy Rules shall apply.  In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by the Plan, unless otherwise specifically designated herein, the provisions of Bankruptcy Rule 9006(a) shall apply.

17.4Plan Documents.  The Plan Documents are incorporated herein and are a part of the Plan as if set forth in full herein.

35

17.6Term of Injunction or Stays.  Unless otherwise provided herein, in the Confirmation Order, or in any other order of the Bankruptcy Court, all injunctions or stays provided in the Cases under Bankruptcy Code §§ 105 or 362 or otherwise, that are in existence on the Confirmation Date, shall remain in full force and effect until all property of the Creditors Trust and the Debtors has been distributed and the Creditors Trust has been dissolved; provided, however, nothing contained herein shall preclude any Person from exercising its rights pursuant to, and consistent with, the terms of this Plan.

17.7Governing Law.  Unless a rule of law or procedure is supplied by federal law, including the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules, (a) the construction and implementation of the Plan and any agreements, documents, and instruments executed in connection with the Plan, and (b) corporate governance matters shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of law thereof.

Upon its filing with the Bankruptcy Court, the Plan Supplement may be inspected in the office of the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court during normal Bankruptcy Court hours.

17.11Entire Agreement.  The Plan and the Plan Documents set forth the entire agreement and understanding among the parties in interest relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior discussions and documents.

36

ARTICLE XVIII

MODIFICATION OF THE PLAN
