These classes are impaired under the Plan.

     6.03. General Unsecured Claims—Class 3 Against Minorplanet, Limited, and Caren

     On or as soon as practicable after the Initial Distribution Date, each Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim will receive, in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of its Allowed General Unsecured Claim, a Pro Rata share of seventy-five percent (75%) of seven million (7,000,000) shares of the New Common Stock pursuant to the Stipulation. Within thirty (30) days after a Disputed General Unsecured Claim becomes an Allowed General Unsecured Claim, Reorganized Minorplanet shall distribute to the Holder thereof a number of shares of the Authorized New Common Stock (excluding the New Common Stock) in the same proportion that such Allowed General Unsecured Claim bears to the aggregate of all other Allowed General Unsecured Claims whose Holders have received a Pro Rata share of seventy-five percent (75%) of the New Common Stock distributed pursuant to this section 6.03. This class is impaired under the Plan.

     6.04. Convenience Claims—Class 4 Against Minorplanet, Limited, and Caren

     Each Holder of an Allowed Convenience Claim shall receive Cash in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of their Allowed Claims, up to an aggregate maximum of one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) for all such Claims. Reorganized Minorplanet shall pay such Cash in full on the Initial Distribution Date. However, if a Holder of an Allowed Convenience Claim votes to reject the Plan, such Holder will receive—in lieu of cash pursuant to this section 6.04 of the Plan—a Pro Rata share of seventy-five percent (75%) of seven million (7,000,000) shares of the New Common Stock in accordance with section 6.03 of the Plan in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of its Allowed Convenience Claim. This class is impaired under the Plan.

     6.05. Interests in Minorplanet attributable to Existing Common Stock—Class 5 as to Minorplanet

Common Stock (excluding the New Common Stock) in the same proportion that such Allowed Class 5 Interest bears to the aggregate of all other Allowed Class 5 Interests whose Holders have received a Pro Rata share of twenty-five percent (25%) of the New Common Stock distributed pursuant to this section 6.05.

6.06. Interests in Minorplanet other than Existing Common Stock and Interests in Caren and Limited—Class 6 as to Minorplanet, Limited, and Caren

     As of the Effective Date, all Interests in Limited and Caren Limited will be extinguished.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS RELATED TO
TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS

     7.01. Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests

     Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Reorganized Minorplanet shall make Distributions only to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Class 5 Interests. No Holder of a Disputed Claim or Disputed Class 5 Interest will receive any Distribution on account thereof until and to the extent that its Disputed Claim or Disputed Class 5 Interest becomes an Allowed Claim or an Allowed Class 5 Interest. Reorganized Minorplanet, in its sole discretion, may withhold Distributions otherwise due hereunder to the Holder of a Claim or Class 5 Interest until the Objection Deadline to enable Reorganized Minorplanet to file a timely objection thereto. Reorganized Minorplanet will establish the Disputed Claims Reserve in accordance with this Plan. Any Holder of a Disputed Claim that becomes an Allowed Claim after the Initial Distribution Date will receive its Distributions accruing before the Allowance Date, without postpetition interest (except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan), as soon as practicable after the Allowance Date in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

     7.02. Postpetition Interest

     In accordance with section 502(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, the amount of all Allowed Claims against the Debtors shall be calculated as of the Petition Date. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in an order of the Bankruptcy Court or pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, no Holder of an Allowed Claim shall be entitled to or receive postpetition interest with respect to any portion of an Allowed Claim. To the extent a Holder of an Allowed Claim is entitled to receive postpetition interest with respect to any portion of its Allowed Claim, such post-petition interest will accrue from the Petition Date through the Effective Date at the Case Interest Rate.

     7.03. Alternative Treatment

     Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, any Holder of an Allowed Claim or an Allowed Class 5 Interest may receive, instead of the Distribution or treatment to which it is entitled hereunder, any other Distribution or treatment to which it and, prior to the Effective

     
Debtors’ Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization

Date, the Debtors or, on or after the Effective Date, Reorganized Minorplanet may agree in writing, so long as such alternative treatment is substantially the same as or less favorable than the treatment otherwise prescribed for such Holder by the Plan.

EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

     8.01. Indemnification of Current Officers and Directors

     8.02. General Treatment of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; Rejected If Not Assumed

     The Plan constitutes and incorporates a motion by the Debtors to reject, as of the Effective Date, all prepetition executory contracts and unexpired leases to which any of the Debtors is a party, except for executory contracts or unexpired leases that (a) have been assumed or rejected pursuant to Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (b) are the subject of a separate motion pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code to be filed and served by the Debtor on or before the Confirmation Date, or (c) are designated in a Plan Document that lists the executory contracts and unexpired leases that the Debtors intend to assume.

     8.03. Cure Payments and Release of Liability

To the extent that a party to an assumed executory contract or unexpired lease has not filed an appropriate pleading with the Bankruptcy Court on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after the Effective Date disputing the amount of any Cure Claim offered to it, disputing the cure of any other defaults, disputing the promptness of the Cure Claim payments, or disputing the provisions of adequate assurance of future performance, then such party shall be deemed to have waived its right to dispute such matters.

     8.04. Bar to Rejection Claims

     If the rejection of an executory contract or an unexpired lease by the Debtors results in damages to the other party or parties to such contract or lease, a Claim for such damages shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors, Reorganized Minorplanet or their respective properties or agents, successors, or assigns, unless a proof of Claim is filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served upon Reorganized Minorplanet by the earlier of (a) thirty (30) days after the Effective Date or (b) such other deadline as the Bankruptcy Court may set for asserting a Claim for such damages.

     All consideration distributed under this Plan will be in exchange for, and in complete satisfaction, settlement, discharge, and release of, all Claims against the Debtors of any nature whatsoever or against any of the Debtors’ assets or properties. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan, entry of the Confirmation Order acts as a discharge of all Claims against, liens on, and Interests in each of the Debtors, the Debtors’ assets and properties, arising at any time before the Effective Date, regardless of whether a proof of Claim or proof of Interest was filed, whether the Claim or Interest is Allowed, or whether the Holder of the Claim or Interest votes to accept this Plan or is entitled to receive a distribution under this Plan.

The Confirmation Order will be a judicial determination of discharge of all liabilities of the Debtors, and Reorganized Minorplanet will not be liable for any Claims or Interests and will only have the obligations as are specifically provided for in this Plan.

     10.03. Release

     The Debtors, Reorganized Minorplanet, the Creditors’ Committee, the members of such committee in their capacity as such, any of such parties’ respective present members, officers, directors, employees, advisors, attorneys, representatives, financial advisors, investment bankers, or agents, and any of such parties’ successors and assigns (the “Released Parties”) shall not have or incur, and are hereby released from, any claim, obligation, cause of action, or liability to one another, to any Claim Holder or Interest Holder, to any other party in interest, or to any of their respective agents, employees, representatives, financial advisors, attorneys, or affiliates, or to any of their successors or assigns, for any act or omission before or after the Petition Date through and including the Effective Date in connection with, relating to, or arising out of the operation of the Debtors’ business (other than liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of the Debtors’ business), the Cases, the filing of the Cases, the formulation, preparation, dissemination, approval, confirmation, administration, or consummation of the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or the property to be distributed under the Plan, except for any act or omission to the extent such act or omission is determined in a Final Order to have constituted willful misconduct or gross negligence, and in all respects the Released Parties shall be entitled to reasonably rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities under the Plan or in connection with the Debtors’ business.

     The releases and injunction provided in sections 10.03 and 10.04 of the Plan shall not release or enjoin any claims against any of the Released Parties with respect to any Allowed Priority Tax Claim the Holder of which has the right under applicable law to seek enforcement of such claims against any of the Released Parties; provided, however, that such Holders shall be temporarily enjoined from enforcing such claims against any of the Released Parties until Reorganized Minorplanet fails to pay such Allowed Priority Tax Claim in accordance with the Plan and fails to cure any Plan payment default within thirty (30) days after Reorganized Minorplanet’s receipt of written notice of such default from the Holder of such Claim.

ARTICLE XI
MEANS FOR EXECUTION OF THIS PLAN

     11.01. Substantive Consolidation

     Before the hearing on this Disclosure Statement, the Debtors filed a Motion for Substantive Consolidation, asking the Bankruptcy Court to approve the substantive consolidation of the Debtors’ Estates. The Debtors have requested a hearing on such motion before the Confirmation Date. This Plan is proposed on the basis that the Motion for Substantive Consolidation is granted on or before the Confirmation Date. If such motion is granted, all of the Debtors will be treated as substantively consolidated as Reorganized Minorplanet. All Cash payments and the issuance of New Common Stock to be made on or after the Effective Date pursuant to this Plan will be the obligation of the substantively consolidated Reorganized Minorplanet, and Reorganized Minorplanet will cause these obligations to be performed. Reorganized Minorplanet will take the other actions contemplated under this Plan to consummate and perform this Plan, including making Distributions, abandoning Collateral, objecting to Claims, administering the Disputed Claims Reserve and asserting claims (including, without limitation, the Estate Actions). All obligations under this Plan that are to be performed over time after the Effective Date, including periodic payments to the Holders of Allowed Secured Claims, Allowed Cure Claims, Allowed Other Priority Claims, and any other Allowed Claims that are to be paid over time shall be the obligations of and continue to be performed by Reorganized Minorplanet. All liens of the Holders of Allowed Secured Claims, and the priority

     
Debtors’ Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization
  page 18 of 35

 


 

of such liens, shall be unaffected by the substantive consolidation and merger of Limited and Caren into Minorplanet. Holders of Allowed Claims will be entitled to only one recovery from the substantively consolidated estate of Reorganized Minorplanet. The Holders of any intercompany Claims by, between, or among Minorplanet, Limited, and Caren will not receive any Distribution on account of such intercompany Claims under this Plan.

     11.02. Reorganized Minorplanet

     From and after the Effective Date, each of Minorplanet, Limited, and Caren will cease to exist as a separate corporate or other entity and will be merged with and into Reorganized Minorplanet in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and pursuant to Reorganized Minorplanet’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

     11.03. Sources of Cash

     Reorganized Minorplanet may obtain the funds necessary for the payment of Allowed Claims that are to be paid in Cash on or after the Effective Date through the combination of the Credit Facility and Cash on hand from the Debtors’ operations. On or before the Confirmation Date, the Debtors intend to enter into the Credit Facility with one or more existing or new lenders, on terms as may be acceptable to the Debtors.

     11.04. Revesting of Assets

     Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, the property and assets of the Debtors’ Estates under section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code will revest in Reorganized Minorplanet on the Effective Date free and clear of all Claims and Interests, but subject to the obligations of Reorganized Minorplanet as set forth in this Plan and the Confirmation Order. Commencing on the Effective Date, Reorganized Minorplanet may deal with its assets and property and conduct its business without any supervision by, or permission from, the Bankruptcy Court or the Office of the United States Trustee, and free of any restriction imposed on the Debtors by the Bankruptcy Code or by the Bankruptcy Court during the Cases.

     11.05. Treatment of the Existing Debt Instruments

     As of the Effective Date, except to the extent provided otherwise in the Plan, any and all notes held by Holders of any Claims (including, without limitation, the Notes), and all agreements, instruments and other documents evidencing the Claims and the rights of the Holders of the Claims, will be automatically canceled, extinguished, voided, and surrendered as provided in section 12.02 of the Plan; all obligations of any Person under those instruments and agreements will be fully and finally satisfied and released; and the obligations of the Debtors under those instruments and agreements will be discharged.

ARTICLE XII
METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION

     
Debtors’ Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization
  page 21 of 35

 


 

     12.01. Reorganized Minorplanet

     Reorganized Minorplanet or its stock transfer agent will make all Distributions required under this Plan (subject to the provisions hereof).

     12.02. Surrender of Securities Or Instruments

     On or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, each Holder of a Certificate or a Note as of the Initial Distribution Date shall surrender such Certificate or Note to Reorganized Minorplanet or its transfer agent and all Certificates and Notes will be canceled. No Distribution of property hereunder will be made to or on behalf of any Holder of a Certificate or a Note unless and until the Certificate or Note is received by Reorganized Minorplanet or its transfer agent or the unavailability of the Certificate or the Note is reasonably established to the satisfaction of Reorganized Minorplanet. Any Holder of a Certificate or a Note who fails to surrender or cause to be surrendered the Certificate or the Note or fails to execute and deliver an affidavit or loss and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to Reorganized Minorplanet before the first anniversary of the Effective Date, will be deemed to have forfeited all rights and Claims or Interests in respect of the Certificate or the Note and will not participate in any Distribution hereunder, and all New Common Stock in respect of the forfeited distribution will be canceled notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary.

     12.03. Initial Distribution Date

     At the close of business on the Initial Distribution Date, the transfer ledgers for the Notes and Interests will be closed, and there will be no further changes in the record Holders of these securities. Reorganized Minorplanet and the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of any securities or instruments occurring after the Initial Distribution Date and will be entitled instead to recognize and deal for all purposes hereunder with only those record Holders stated on the transfer ledgers as of the close of business on the Initial Distribution Date.

     12.04. Means Of Cash Payment

     Cash payments made pursuant to this Plan will be in U.S. funds, by the means agreed to by the payor and the payee, including by check or wire transfer, or, in the absence of an agreement, by a commercially reasonable manner as the payor will determine in its sole discretion.

     12.05. Calculation of Distribution Amounts of New Securities

     No fractional shares of New Common Stock will be issued or distributed under the Plan or by Reorganized Minorplanet. Each Person entitled under the Plan to receive a Distribution of New Common Stock will receive the total number of whole shares of New Common Stock to which the Person is entitled. Whenever any Distribution, or a portion thereof, to a particular Person would otherwise call for distribution of a fraction of a share of New Common Stock, Reorganized Minorplanet will allocate separately one whole share of New Common Stock to the Person and other Persons similarly entitled, in order of the fractional portion of their entitlement, starting with the largest fractional portion, until all remaining whole shares have been allocated.

     
Debtors’ Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization
  page 22 of 35

 


 

Upon the allocation of a whole share to a Person in respect of the fractional portion of its entitlement, the fractional portion will be canceled. If two or more Persons are entitled to equal fractional entitlements and the number of Persons so entitled exceeds the number of whole shares of New Common Stock that remain to be allocated, Reorganized Minorplanet will allocate the remaining whole shares to the Holders by random lot or another impartial method as Reorganized Minorplanet deems fair. Upon the allocation of all of the whole shares authorized under this Plan, all remaining fractional portions of the entitlements will be canceled and will be of no further force and effect.

     12.06. Delivery of Distributions

     Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Class 5 Interests will be made by Reorganized Minorplanet or its transfer agent (a) at the addresses set forth on the proofs of Claim or Interests filed by the Holders, (b) at the addresses set forth in any written notice of address change delivered to Reorganized Minorplanet after the date of any related proof of Claim or Interest, (c) at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if no proof of Claim or Interest has been filed and Reorganized Minorplanet has not received a written notice of a change of address, (d) or at the last known address of the Holder if no proof of Claim or Interest has been filed, (e) in the case of the Holder of a Claim that is governed by the Indenture and is administered by the Indenture Trustee, at the addresses contained in the official records of the Indenture Trustee, or (f) at the addresses set forth in a properly completed letter of transmittal accompanying securities or instruments properly remitted to Reorganized Minorplanet or its transfer agent. If any Holder’s Distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further Distributions to the Holder will be made unless and until Reorganized Minorplanet or its transfer agent is notified of the Holder’s then current address, at which time all missed Distributions will be made to the Holder without interest. Amounts in respect of undeliverable Distributions made by Reorganized Minorplanet will be returned to Reorganized Minorplanet until the Distributions are claimed.

     12.07. Fractional Dollars; De Minimis Distributions

     Any other provision of this Plan notwithstanding, payments of fractions of dollars will not be made. Whenever any payment of a fraction of a dollar under this Plan would otherwise be called for, the actual payment made will reflect a rounding of the fraction to the nearest whole dollar (up or down), with half dollars being rounded down. Reorganized Minorplanet will not make any payment of less than twenty-five dollars ($25.00) with respect to any Claim unless a request is made in writing to Reorganized Minorplanet.

     12.08. Allocation of Plan Distribution Between Principal And Interest

     To the extent that any Allowed Claim entitled to a Distribution under this Plan is comprised of principal indebtedness and accrued but unpaid interest thereon, the Distribution will, to the extent permitted, be allocated for income tax purposes to the principal amount of the Claim first and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claim, to the portion of the Claim representing accrued but unpaid interest.

     12.09. Unclaimed Distributions

     
Debtors’ Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization
  page 23 of 35

 


 

     On the first anniversary of the Effective Date, Reorganized Minorplanet will publish the names of Holders of unclaimed Distributions in the national edition of the Wall Street Journal. Any Distributions under this Plan in the form of Cash remaining unclaimed as of two years after the Effective Date will be released for Reorganized Minorplanet’s use in its ordinary business operations, and any unclaimed Distributions under this Plan in the form of New Common Stock will be canceled.

ARTICLE XIII
CLAIMS RESOLUTION

     13.01. Objections to Claims

     The Debtors and Reorganized Minorplanet will have exclusive authority to object to and contest the allowance of any Claims filed with the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors and Reorganized Minorplanet will use their best efforts to prosecute objections to Claims as warranted. All objections to Claims must be filed by the Objection Deadline, which shall be ninety (90) days after the Effective Date unless extended by order of the Bankruptcy Court. If the Debtors or Reorganized Minorplanet file an objection to a Claim, such Claim will become a Disputed Claim. Disputed Claims may become Allowed Claims by entry of a Final Order allowing the Claim in whole or in part.

     13.02. Disputed Claims Reserve

     Pending the resolution of Disputed Claims, Reorganized Minorplanet will hold the Distributions for the benefit of Holders of Disputed Claims in trust in the Disputed Claims Reserve. The amount held in the Disputed Claims Reserve will be calculated based on the smaller of (a) the amount claimed, (b) the amount estimated by the Bankruptcy Court for purposes of distribution or (c) the amount determined by the Bankruptcy Court in a claims allowance hearing, even if there is a pending appeal concerning allowance of the Claim. When a Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim by a Final Order, Reorganized Minorplanet will cause the Distribution owed on such Allowed Claim to be paid out of the Disputed Claims Reserve within ten (10) Business Days after such order becomes a Final Order. Any Distribution that would have been due to the part of the Claim that is disallowed will be released from the Disputed Claims Reserve and distributed Pro Rata to Allowed Claims of the same class as the Disputed Claim that has become Allowed. These supplemental distributions will be made on the six month anniversary of the Effective Date and every six months thereafter as applicable. The Disputed Claim Reserve shall not include any New Common Stock.

ARTICLE XIV
ASSERTION OF CLAIMS

     14.01. Assertion of Estate Actions, Defenses and Counterclaims

     Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or in any contract, instrument, release, indenture or other agreement entered into in connection with the Plan, in accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, Reorganized Minorplanet shall retain and may exclusively prosecute, settle, or compromise any Estate Action. Reorganized Minorplanet shall also retain and may prosecute and enforce all defenses, counterclaims, and

     
Debtors’ Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization
  page 24 of 35

 


 

rights against or with respect to all Claims asserted against the Debtors, Reorganized Minorplanet, or the Estates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any of the Debtors or Reorganized Minorplanet is determined by the Bankruptcy Court to be solvent, Reorganized Minorplanet will not commence any action to prosecute an Estate Action if such Estate Action requires proof of the insolvency of any of the Debtors or Reorganized Minorplanet.

     14.02. Setoffs

     Reorganized Minorplanet may, but will not be required to, set off against any Claim, and the payments or other Distributions to be made pursuant to this Plan in respect of the Claim, claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors or Reorganized Minorplanet may have against the Holder of the Claim, provided, however, that neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder will constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors or Reorganized Minorplanet of any claim that the Debtors or Reorganized Minorplanet may have against the Holder. The Holder of a Disputed Claim who asserts a right of setoff will retain the right, subject to any defenses of the Debtors or Reorganized Minorplanet, until the earlier of the time when (a) the Disputed Claim becomes Allowed, in whole or in part, or (b) the Claim is expunged by entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court.

ARTICLE XV
VOTING AND EFFECT OF REJECTION BY
ONE OR MORE CLASSES OF CLAIMS

     15.01. Impaired Classes to Vote

     Except as provided in section 5.03 of this Plan, each impaired class of Claims and Interests will be entitled to vote separately to accept or reject this Plan. For purposes of voting to accept or reject this Plan, a Person is a Holder as of the Voting Record Date. A Holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest as of the Voting Record Date may vote to accept or reject this Plan. A Holder of a Claim or Interest as to which an objection has been filed that has not been temporarily allowed for purposes of voting on this Plan may not vote. A Holder of a contingent or unliquidated Claim or Interest may vote on this Plan in an amount based on the portion, if any, of the Claim or Interest shown as fixed, liquidated and undisputed in the Schedules, or equal to $1.00 or one share, if not so shown.

     15.02. Acceptance by Classes of Claims and Interests

     A class of Claims will have accepted this Plan if its members vote to accept by at least two-thirds in amount and more than one-half in number of the Allowed Claims in the class actually voting to accept or reject this Plan. A class of Interests will have accepted this Plan if its members vote to accept by at least two-thirds in amount of the Allowed Class 5 Interests in the class actually voting to accept or reject this Plan.

     15.03. Section 1129(b) Cramdown

     If any impaired class of Claims or Interests fails to accept this Plan in accordance with section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors reserve the right to request the Bankruptcy Court to confirm this Plan in accordance with the provisions of section 1129(b) of the

Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors assert that this Plan provides for fair and equitable treatment of all Classes of Claims and Interests.

ARTICLE XVII

     18.13. Interpretation

     Unless otherwise specified, all section, article and exhibit references in the Plan are to the respective section in, article of or exhibit to the Plan, as the same may be amended, waived, or modified from time to time.

     18.14. Severability of Plan Provisions

     If any term or provision of this Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable before the Confirmation Date, the Bankruptcy Court, at the request of the Debtors, will have the power to alter and interpret the 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 the term or provision will then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of this Plan will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated by the holding, alteration, or interpretation. The Confirmation Order will constitute a judicial determination and will provide that each term and provision of this Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms.
