ARTICLE VI

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

6.1Distributions for Claims or Interests Allowed as of the Effective Date. Unless the Holder of an Allowed Claim against or Allowed Interest in the Debtors and the Debtors agree to a different distribution date or except as otherwise provided herein or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, distributions to be made on account of Allowed Claims or Interests shall be made on the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is practicable. Any distribution to be made on the Effective Date pursuant to this Plan shall be deemed as having been made on the Effective Date if such distribution is made on the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is practicable. Any payment or distribution required to be made under this Plan on a day other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Notwithstanding the date on which any distribution of securities is made to a Holder of an Allowed Claim or to a Holder of an Allowed Interest, as of the date of the distribution such Holder shall be deemed to have the rights of a

29

holder of such securities (subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan) distributed as of the Effective Date.

6.2Distributions for Claims and Interests that Become Allowed after the Effective Date. Distributions on account of Allowed Claims and Interests that first become Allowed Claims and Interests after the Effective Date shall be made as soon as practicable after the date that such Claim or Interest becomes Allowed pursuant to section 6.4 of this Plan.

6.3Interest on Claims. Except as to the First Lien Note Claims and the Second Lien Note Claims as provided herein or as otherwise specifically provided for in this Plan, the Confirmation Order or other order of the Bankruptcy Court, or required by applicable bankruptcy or non-bankruptcy law, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims, and no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim.

6.4Distributions by Disbursing Agent. Other than as specifically set forth in the Plan, the Disbursing Agent shall make all distributions required to be made under this Plan. Distributions on account of Revolving Credit Facility Claims shall be made by the Disbursing Agent directly to the Revolving Credit Facility Agents. Distributions on account of the First Lien Note Claims, the Second Lien Note Claims and the Old Note Claims shall be made in accordance with the respective indentures or in accordance with this Plan where such indentures are silent. New Pliant and/or the Reorganized Debtors may act as Disbursing Agent or may employ or contract with other entities to assist in or make the distributions required by this Plan.

6.5Delivery of Distributions and Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions. Unless the First Lien Notes Indenture, the Second Lien Notes Indenture, or the Old Notes Indentures provide otherwise, the following terms shall govern the delivery of distributions and undeliverable or unclaimed distributions with respect to Claims and Interests.

(a)Delivery of Distributions in General. Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims or Interests shall be made at the addresses set forth in the Debtors’ records unless such addresses are superseded by proofs of claim or interests or transfers of claim filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001.

(b)Undeliverable and Unclaimed Distributions.

(i)Holding and Investment of Undeliverable and Unclaimed Distributions. If the distribution to any Holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest is returned to New Pliant, the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent as undeliverable or is otherwise unclaimed, no further distributions shall be made to such Holder unless and until the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent is notified in writing of such Holder’s then current address.

(ii)After Distributions Become Deliverable. The Disbursing Agent shall make all distributions that have become deliverable or have been claimed since the Distribution Date as soon as practicable after such distribution has become deliverable.

30

(iii)Failure to Claim Undeliverable Distributions. Any Holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest that does not assert a claim or interest pursuant to this 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 an undeliverable or unclaimed distribution against the Debtors or their Estates, the Reorganized Debtors or their property, New Pliant or its property. In such cases, any Cash for distribution on account of such claims for undeliverable or unclaimed distributions shall become the property of the Estates and New Pliant free of any restrictions thereon and notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary, subject to the liens of the Revolving Credit Facility Lenders. Any New Common Stock, Series M Preferred Stock and Series AA Preferred Stock and the Tack-On Notes (or to the extent necessary, the New Senior Subordinated Notes) held for distribution on account of such Claim or Interest shall be canceled and of no further force or effect. Nothing contained in this Plan shall require any Disbursing Agent, including, but not limited to, New Pliant or the Reorganized Debtors, to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim. In addition, the Old Notes Indenture Trustee shall only be required to hold any unclaimed distribution to a Holder of an Old Notes Claim for a period of ninety (90) days, after the expiration of which such unclaimed distribution shall be returned to New Pliant, and New Pliant or its designee shall hold such distributions for the benefit of the Holders of Old Note Claims until one (1) year after the Effective Date as provided in this section.

6.6Record Date for Distributions. New Pliant, the Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent will have no obligation to recognize the transfer of, or the sale of any participation in, any Allowed Claim or Interest that occurs after the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, and will be entitled for all purposes herein to recognize and distribute only to those Holders of Allowed Claims or Interests that are Holders of such Claims or Interests, or participants therein, as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. New Pliant, the Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent shall instead be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes under this Plan with only those record holders stated on the official claims register as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date.

6.7Allocation of Plan Distributions Between Principal and Interest. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan, to the extent that any Allowed Claim entitled to a distribution under this Plan is comprised of indebtedness and accrued but unpaid interest thereon, such distribution shall, for all income tax purposes, be allocated to the principal amount of the Claim first and then, to the extent that the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claim, to the portion of such Claim representing accrued but unpaid interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the distribution in respect of the Consenting Noteholders’ Professionals Fees in accordance with the first sentence of section 3.2(g) of this Plan shall be deemed a payment under the relevant fee letters, as amended, as a result of the assumption thereof and shall not be allocated either to principal or interest in respect of the Old Note Claims.

31

6.8Means of Cash Payment. Payments of Cash made pursuant to this Plan shall be in U.S. dollars and shall be made, at the option and in the sole discretion of New Pliant or the Reorganized Debtors, by (a) checks drawn on or (b) wire transfer from a bank selected by New Pliant or the Reorganized Debtors. Cash payments to foreign creditors may be made, at the option of New Pliant or the Reorganized Debtors, in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction.

6.9Withholding and Reporting Requirements. In connection with this Plan and all distributions thereunder, New Pliant and the Reorganized Debtors shall comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority, and all distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. New Pliant and the Reorganized Debtors shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements. All persons holding Claims or Interests shall be required to provide any information necessary to effect information reporting and the withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, (a) each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest that is to receive a distribution pursuant to this Plan shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any governmental unit, including income, withholding and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution and (b) no distribution shall be made to or on behalf of such Holder pursuant to this Plan unless and until such Holder has made arrangements satisfactory to New Pliant and the Reorganized Debtors for the payment and satisfaction of such tax obligations.

6.10Setoffs. New Pliant and the Reorganized Debtors may, pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable nonbankruptcy laws, but shall not be required to, set off against any Claim, the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to this Plan in respect of such Claim, or claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may have against the Holder of such Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by New Pliant or the Reorganized Debtors of any such claim that the Debtors or New Pliant or the Reorganized Debtors may have against such Holder.

6.11Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of New Common Stock, Series M Preferred Stock and Series AA Preferred Stock shall be distributed. Where a fractional share would otherwise be called for, the actual issuance shall reflect a rounding up (in the case of more than .50) of such fraction to the nearest whole share of New Common Stock, Series M Preferred Stock and Series AA Preferred Stock or a rounding down of such fraction (in the case of .50 or less than .50) to the nearest whole share of New Common Stock, Series M Preferred Stock and Series AA Preferred Stock.

6.12Denomination of Tack-On Notes or New Senior Subordinated Notes. The Tack-On Notes or, if issued in lieu of the Tack-On Notes, the New Senior Subordinated Notes will be issued on the Effective Date in denominations of $1,000 principal amount or integral multiples thereof. Accordingly, the Pro Rata principal amount of the Tack-On Notes or New Senior Subordinated Notes, as applicable, to be distributed to each Holder of an Old Note Claim as provided herein will be rounded down to the nearest $1,000 and no cash shall be payable with

32

respect to the portion of the Pro Rata principal amount that was subtracted to effect such rounding.

ARTICLE VII

On the Effective Date, all executory contracts or unexpired leases of the Debtors will be deemed assumed in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such executory contract or unexpired lease (i) was previously assumed or rejected by the Debtors, (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms, or (iii) is an executory contract that is set forth on Exhibit I hereto. Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of such assumptions pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Each executory contract and unexpired lease assumed pursuant to this Article VII shall revest in and be fully enforceable by the respective Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as modified by the provisions of this Plan, or any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption or applicable federal law.

7.2Cure of Defaults of Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. Any monetary amounts by which each executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed is in default shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(l) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the default amount in Cash on the Effective Date or on such other terms as the parties to each such executory contract or unexpired lease may otherwise agree. In the event of a dispute regarding (a) the amount of any cure payments, (b) the ability of the Reorganized Debtors or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed or (c) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the cure payments required by section 365(b)(l) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption. Pending the Bankruptcy Court’s ruling on such motion, the executory contract or unexpired lease at issue shall be deemed assumed by the Debtors unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

7.3Post-Petition Contracts and Leases. All contracts, agreements and leases that were entered into by the Debtors or assumed by the Debtors after the Petition Date shall be deemed assigned by the Debtors to the Reorganized Debtors on the Effective Date.

7.4Retiree Benefits and Pension Plans. In furtherance of, and without in any way limiting, section 12.7, from and after the Effective Date the Debtors shall assume the obligation and shall continue to make the payment of all retiree benefits (if any), as that term is defined in Bankruptcy Code section 1114, at the level established pursuant to subsection (e)(1)(B) or (g) of said section 1114, at any time prior to the Confirmation Date, for the duration of the period (if any) that the Debtors are obligated to provide such benefits. In addition, notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Pension Plans shall become obligations of the Reorganized Debtors, including, without limitation, New Pliant, and shall otherwise be

33

unaffected by confirmation of the Plan, and such Claims shall not be discharged or released or otherwise affected by the Plan or by these proceedings.

ARTICLE VIII

PROVISIONS FOR TREATMENT OF DISPUTED CLAIMS
AND DISPUTED INTERESTS

8.1Objections to and Estimation of Claims. After the Effective Date, only the applicable Reorganized Debtor against whose Estate a Claim was filed or deemed filed may object to the allowance of any Claim or Administrative Expense Claim. After the Effective Date, the applicable Reorganized Debtor against whose Estate a Claim or Administrative Expense Claim was filed or deemed filed shall be accorded the power and authority to allow or settle and compromise any Claim without notice to any other party, or approval of, or notice to the Bankruptcy Court. In addition, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may, at any time, request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any contingent or unliquidated Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code regardless of whether the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors have previously objected to such Claim. Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors shall serve and file any objections to Claims and Interests as soon as practicable, but in no event later than (a) ninety (90) days after the Effective Date or (b) such later date as may be determined by the Bankruptcy Court upon a motion which may be made without further notice or hearing.

8.2Payments and Distributions on Disputed, Contingent and Unliquidated Claims and Interests and on Claims for Which Proofs of Claim are Filed. No partial payments and no partial distributions will be made with respect to a disputed, contingent or unliquidated Claim or Interest, or with respect to any Claim for which a proof of claim has been filed, until the resolution of such disputes or estimation or liquidation of such claims by settlement or by Final Order. As soon as practicable after a disputed, contingent or unliquidated Claim or Interest becomes an Allowed Claim or Interest in an amount certain, the Holder of such Allowed Claim or Interest will receive all payments and distributions to which such Holder is then entitled under the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, there shall be no distribution on account of the Claims of the Durham Parties until all objections to such Claims of the Durham Parties and the Potential Durham Recovery Claims have been resolved by the Bankruptcy Court.

8.3Classes 4, 5 and 7. Claims in Classes 4 and 5 shall be deemed Allowed in aggregate amounts equal to the outstanding principal of either the First Lien Notes or the Second Lien Notes, as applicable, plus the outstanding interest accrued thereon both prior to and after the Petition Date, plus any fees, costs or charges provided under the First Lien Notes Indenture or the Second Lien Notes Indenture, as applicable. Claims in Class 7 shall be deemed Allowed in aggregate amounts equal to the outstanding principal of the Old Notes, plus outstanding interest accrued thereon prior to the Petition Date. Distributions to all Holders of Allowed Claims in Class 7 shall be delivered to the Old Indenture Trustee for further distribution to the ultimate beneficial holders, except as otherwise provided herein with respect to the Consenting Noteholders’ Professional Fees.

Except as otherwise provided in this section, if no surrender of a security, note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness occurs and a claimant does not provide an affidavit and indemnification agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Debtors, that such security, note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness was lost, then no distribution may be made to any claimant whose Claim or Interest is based on such security, note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness thereof.

A Holder of a Claim or Interest that has accepted this Plan shall be deemed to have accepted the Plan, as altered, amended or modified, if the proposed alteration, amendment or modification does not materially and adversely change the treatment of the Claim or Interest of such Holder.

12.12Severability of Plan Provisions.

44

executory contracts or leases affected by this Plan, and any document or agreement executed pursuant to this Plan shall be deemed null and void and (c) nothing contained in this Plan shall (i) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims by or against, or any Interests in, such Debtors or any other Person, (ii) prejudice in any manner the rights of such Debtors or any other Person or (iii) constitute an admission of any sort by the Debtors or any other Person.
