Old UGC, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware ("Old UGC" or the "Debtor"), together with UnitedGlobalCom, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and a party-in-interest ("UGC"), hereby jointly propose this plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. This Plan sets forth a restructuring of Old UGC's capital structure. The restructuring will consist of several different elements, each of which is an integral part of the restructuring and, as such, are non-severable. In particular, certain obligations owed by UGC to Old UGC will be set off against a portion of the obligations owed to UGC under the Senior Notes (as defined herein) held by UGC, prior to the Effective Date (as defined herein). Thereafter, on the Effective Date, Old UGC will exchange (a) shares of its Class A Common Stock (as defined herein) for all of the outstanding Senior Notes held by IDT United, Inc. ("IDTU"), and (b) shares of its Class B Common Stock (as defined herein) for all of the outstanding Senior Notes held by UGC, after giving effect to the setoff described above. Together, these steps will allow Old UGC to complete the contemplated restructuring of its balance sheet.

Reference is made to the Disclosure Statement accompanying the Plan for a discussion of the Debtor's history, business, results of operations, historical financial information, properties, projections for future operations, risk factors, a summary and analysis of the Plan, and certain related matters. The Debtor and UGC are proponents of the Plan and are participating in this joint Plan within the meaning of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

All Holders of Claims and Equity Interests are encouraged to read the Plan and the Disclosure Statement in their entirety before voting to accept or reject the Plan.

Subject to certain restrictions and requirements set forth in Section 1127 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, U.S. Bankruptcy Rule 3019 and in the Plan, the Debtor and UGC reserve the right to alter, amend, modify, revoke or withdraw the Plan before its substantial consummation.

        .

        Section 6.9 Failure to Negotiate Checks

        . Checks issued in respect of Distributions under the Plan shall be null and void if not negotiated within sixty (60) days after the date of issuance. Any amounts returned to the Reorganized Debtor in respect of such non-negotiated checks shall be held by the Reorganized Debtor, as appropriate. Requests for reissuance of any such check shall be made directly to the Reorganized Debtor by the Holder of the Allowed Claim with respect to which such check originally was issued. All amounts represented by any voided check will be held until the later to occur of (i) nine (9) months after the Effective Date and (ii) nine (9) months after such voided check was issued, and all requests for reissuance by the Holder of the Allowed Claim in respect of a voided check are required to be made prior to such date. Thereafter, all such amounts shall be deemed to be Unclaimed Property, in accordance with Section 6.12 of the Plan, and all Claims in respect of void checks and the underlying Distributions shall be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from assertion in any manner against the Debtor or its Property or the Reorganized Debtor or its Property.

        Section 6.10 Unclaimed Distributions

        . Any Cash that becomes Unclaimed Property shall revest in the Reorganized Debtor and shall no longer be subject to Distribution to Holders of Claims or Equity Interests. Any shares of Old UGC Common Stock that become Unclaimed Property shall be cancelled and shall no longer be subject to Distribution to Holders of Claims or Equity Interests. All full or partial payments made by the Disbursing Agent or the Debtor and received by the Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest prior to the Effective Date will be deemed to be payments under the Plan for purposes of satisfying the obligations of the Debtor pursuant to the Plan. Pursuant to Section 1143 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, all Claims in respect of Unclaimed Property shall be deemed Disallowed and the Holder of any Claim or Equity Interest Disallowed in accordance with this Section 6.10 will be forever barred, expunged, estopped and enjoined from asserting such Claim or Equity Interest in any manner against the Debtor or its Property or the Reorganized Debtor or its Property.

        Section 6.11 Limitation on Distribution Rights

        . Reorganized Debtor shall comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local, or foreign taxing authority, and all Distribution shall be subject to any such withholding or reporting requirement.

        Section 6.13 Documentation Necessary to Release Liens

        . Each Holder which is to receive a Distribution under the Plan in full satisfaction of a Miscellaneous Secured Claim shall not receive such Distribution until such Holder (a) executes and delivers any documents necessary to release all Liens arising under any applicable security agreement or non-bankruptcy law (in recordable form if appropriate) in connection with such Miscellaneous Secured Claim and such other documents as the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, may reasonably request or (b) otherwise turns over and releases any and all property of the Debtor that secures or purportedly secures such Claim. Any such Holder that fails to execute and deliver such release of liens within 120 days of the Effective Date shall be deemed to have no further Claim against the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor or their assets or property in respect of such Claim and shall not participate in any Distribution hereunder on account of such Claim. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, any such Holder of a Disputed Claim shall not be required to execute and deliver such release until such time as the Claim is Allowed or Disallowed.

        Section 6.14 Distributions by Indenture Trustee

        . Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any Distributions on account of any Allowed Public Noteholders Claims shall be made by the Disbursing Agent to the Indenture Trustee, which, in turn, shall make any such Distributions to the Holders of such Allowed Claims under the Plan. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, Distributions made by the Indenture Trustee shall be in accordance with and subject to the requirements set forth in the Indenture, and the Indenture Trustee acting in good faith pursuant to the Plan shall be entitled to the same indemnification the Disbursing Agent receives from the Reorganized Debtor and to payment from the Reorganized Debtor of its customary fees and expenses for making Distributions under the Plan to Holders of the Senior Notes.

        Section 6.15 Setoffs

        . Except as set forth in Section 9.1 of the Plan, the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, may, but shall not be required to, set off against any Claims and the payments or Distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of such Claims, any and all debts, liabilities and claims of every type and nature whatsoever which the Estate, the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may have against the Holders of such Claims; provided, however, that neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any such Claims, whether pursuant to the Plan or otherwise, shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor of any such claims the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may have against such Holders, and all such claims shall be reserved to and retained by the Reorganized Debtor.

        Section 6.16 No Interest on Claims

        . Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, Confirmation Order, or a postpetition agreement in writing between the Debtor and a Holder of a Claim, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on Claims, and no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim or right. Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing, interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Disputed Claim in respect of the period from the Effective Date to the date a final Distribution is made when and if such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

        Section 6.17 Alternative Treatment

        . Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, any Holder of an Allowed Claim may receive, instead of the Distribution or treatment to which it is entitled hereunder, any less favorable Distribution or treatment to which it and the Debtor may agree in writing.

        Section 6.18 Distributions Relating to Allowed Insured Claims

        . If any Claim otherwise payable hereunder is covered by an insurance policy held by the Debtor, the Debtor may satisfy the Claim, in whole or in part, with the proceeds of the policy.

In accordance with Section 1146(c) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, neither the issuance, transfer, or exchange of a security or the delivery of an instrument of transfer under this Plan shall be subject to tax under any law imposing a stamp, documentary, transfer or similar tax. The Confirmation Order shall direct all governmental officials and agents to forego the assessment and collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and to accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without payment of such tax or other governmental assessment.

        ARTICLE VII

        EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES;
        INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS; BENEFIT PROGRAMS

        Section 7.1 Treatment of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

        . On the Effective Date, all of the executory contracts and unexpired leases that exist between the Debtor and any Person which (a) have not expired or terminated pursuant to their own terms, (b) have not previously been assumed, assumed and assigned, or rejected pursuant to an order of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on or prior to the Confirmation Date or (c) are not the subject of pending motions to assume, assume and assign, or reject as of the Confirmation Date, will be (i) deemed assumed if listed on the Schedule of Assumed Contracts, (ii) deemed assumed and assigned if listed on the Schedule of Assumed and Assigned Contracts or (iii) deemed rejected if listed on the Schedule of Rejected Contracts; provided, however, that any executory contracts or unexpired leases which are omitted from both the Schedule of Assumed Contracts, Schedule of Assumed and Assigned Contracts, and the Schedule of Rejected Contracts are assumed as of the Effective Date, all in accordance with the provisions and requirements of Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that the Debtor shall have the right, at any time prior to the Confirmation Date, to amend the Schedule of Assumed Contracts, Schedule of Assumed and Assigned Contracts, and the Schedule of Rejected Contracts upon notice to the counterparty to a contract or lease (i) to delete any executory contract or unexpired lease listed therein or (ii) to add any executory contract or unexpired lease thereto; provided, however, that the Debtor shall have the right to make the election to reject specified in Section 7.3(b) of the Plan. The Confirmation Order (except as otherwise provided therein) shall constitute an order of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, effective as of the Effective Date, approving such assumptions and rejections, as applicable. Each contract and lease assumed, assumed and assigned, or rejected, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be assumed, assumed and assigned, or rejected, as the case may be, only to the extent that any such contract or lease constitutes an executory contract or unexpired lease. Assumption, assumption and assignment, or rejection, as the case may be, of a contract or lease pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall not constitute an admission by the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor that such contract or lease is an executory contract or unexpired lease or that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder. All executory contracts and unexpired leases that are assumed or assumed and assigned will be assumed or assumed and assigned under their present terms or upon such terms as are agreed to between the Debtor and the other party to the executory contract or unexpired lease. Each executory contract and unexpired lease that is assumed or assumed and assigned and relates to the use, ability to acquire, or occupancy of real property shall include: (y) all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument, or other document that in any manner affect such executory contract or unexpired lease and (z) all executory contracts or unexpired leases appurtenant to the premises, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, powers, uses, reciprocal easement agreements, and any other interests in real estate or rights in rem related to such premises, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been rejected pursuant to an order of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

        Section 7.2 Cure of Defaults for Assumed Contracts and Leases

        . All undisputed cure and any other monetary default payments required by Section 365(b)(1) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code under any assumed or assumed and assigned executory contract and unexpired lease which is in default shall be satisfied by the Reorganized Debtor (to the extent such obligations are enforceable under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and applicable non-bankruptcy law), pursuant to Section 365(b)(1) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, at the option of the Reorganized Debtor: (A) by payment of such undisputed cure amount, without interest, in Cash within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date; (B) by payment of such other amount as ordered by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court; or (C) on such other terms as may be agreed to by the parties to such executory contract or unexpired lease. In the event of a dispute, payment of the amount otherwise payable hereunder shall be made without interest, in Cash (i) on or before the later of sixty (60) days following the Effective Date or thirty (30) days following entry of a Final Order liquidating and allowing any disputed amount or (ii) on such other terms as may be agreed to by the parties to such executory contract or unexpired lease.

        Section 7.3 Resolution of Objections to Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; Cure Payments

        .

      41. Resolution of Objections to Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. Any party objecting to the Debtor's proposed assumption or assumption and assignment of an executory contract or unexpired lease or the ability of the Reorganized Debtor to provide "adequate assurance of future performance" (within the meaning of Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed or assumed and assigned shall File and serve on counsel for the Debtor a written objection to the assumption or assumption and assignment of such contract or lease within thirty (30) days after the service of the notice of Confirmation. Failure to File an objection within the time period set forth above shall constitute consent to the assumption and revestment or assumption and assignment of such contract or lease, including an acknowledgment that the proposed assumption or assumption and assignment provides adequate assurance of future performance. To the extent that any objections to the assumption or assumption and assignment of a contract or lease are timely Filed and served and such objections are not resolved between the Debtor and the objecting parties, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court shall resolve such disputes at a hearing to be held on a date to be determined by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
      42. Resolution of Cure Payments. If the counterparty to a contract or lease assumed or assumed and assigned by the Debtor believes that, as of the Confirmation Date, a cure payment is due and owing under such contract or lease, such counterparty shall File and serve on counsel for the Debtor a notification setting forth the amount of the cure payment which such party believes is due and owing, which notification shall be Filed and served no later than thirty (30) days after the service of the notice of Confirmation. Failure to File such a notification within the time period set forth above shall constitute an acknowledgment that no cure payment is due and owing in connection with the assumption or assumption and assignment of such contract or lease and an acknowledgment that no other defaults exist under said contract or lease. To the extent that any such notifications are timely Filed and served and are not resolved between the Debtor and the applicable counterparty, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court shall resolve such disputes at a hearing to be held on a date to be determined by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The resolution of such disputes shall not affect the Debtor's assumption or assumption and assignment of the contracts or leases that are subject of such a dispute, but rather shall affect only the "cure" amount the Debtor must pay in order to assume such contract or lease. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if the Debtor in its discretion determines that the amount asserted to be the necessary "cure" amount would, if ordered by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, make the assumption or assumption and assignment of the contract or lease imprudent, then the Debtor may elect to (i) reject the contract or lease pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof or (ii) request an expedited hearing on the resolution of the "cure" dispute, exclude assumption, assumption and assignment, or rejection of the contract or lease from the scope of the Confirmation Order, and retain the right to reject the contract or lease pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof pending the outcome of such dispute.
      43. Section 7.4 Claims for Rejection Damages

        . Objections to the amounts listed on the Schedule of Rejected Contracts for damages allegedly arising from the rejection pursuant to the Plan or the Confirmation Order of any executory contract or any unexpired lease shall be Filed and served on counsel for the Debtor not later than thirty (30) days after the service of the earlier of (A) notice of Confirmation or (B) other notice that the executory contract or unexpired lease has been rejected. Any Holder of a Claim arising from the rejection of any executory contract or any unexpired lease that fails to File such Objection on or before the dates specified in this paragraph shall be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from asserting any Claims (including, without limitation, any Scheduled Claim or any Claim proof of which was Filed) in any manner against the Debtor or its Property or the Reorganized Debtor or its Property for any amounts in excess of the amount scheduled by the Debtor on the Schedule of Rejected Contracts for such contract or lease and the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor shall be forever discharged from all indebtedness or liability with respect to such Claims for such excess amounts and such Holders shall be bound by the terms of the Plan.

        Section 7.5 Treatment of Rejection Claims

        . The U.S. Bankruptcy Court shall determine any Objections Filed in accordance with Section 7.4 hereof at a hearing to be held on a date to be determined by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Subject to any statutory limitation, including, but not limited to the limitations contained in Sections 502(b)(6) and 502(b)(7) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, any Claims arising out of the rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases shall, pursuant to Section 502(g) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, be treated as Class 6 Claims in accordance with Section 4.8 of the Plan.

        Section 7.6 Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Entered Into and Other Obligations Incurred After the Petition Date

        . On the Effective Date, all contracts, leases, and other agreements entered into by the Debtor on or after the Petition Date, which agreements have not been terminated in accordance with their terms or been rejected on or before the Confirmation Date, shall revest in and remain in full force and effect as against the Reorganized Debtor and the other parties to such contracts, leases and other agreements.

        Section 7.7 Reorganized Debtor's Indemnification Obligations

        . To the extent not inconsistent with the Plan, any obligations of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, pursuant to their respective organizational documents, applicable non-bankruptcy law or a specific agreement, to indemnify a Person with respect to all present and future actions, suits and proceedings against the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor or such indemnified Person, based upon any act or omission related to service with, or for or on behalf of, the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor shall survive Confirmation and shall not be impaired by Confirmation, except to the extent any such obligation has been released, discharged or modified pursuant to the Plan. Such indemnification obligations shall be performed and honored by the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable.

        Section 7.8 Benefit Programs

        . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, nothing in the Plan shall adversely affect the payment of any "retiree benefits" (as such term is defined in Section 1114(a) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code) to the extent required by Section 1129(a)(13) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

Except to the extent that any Claim is Allowed in the Plan, nothing, including the failure of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor to object to a Claim for any reason during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case, shall affect, prejudice, diminish or impair the rights and legal and equitable defenses of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor with respect to any Claim, including, but not limited to, all rights of the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor (i) to contest or defend themselves against such Claims in any lawful manner or forum when and if such Claim is sought to be enforced by the Holder thereof or (ii) in respect of legal and equitable defenses to setoffs or recoupments against Claims. The Distributions provided for in Article IV of the Plan shall at all times be subject to this Section 8.1 of the Plan and to Section 502(d) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

        Section 8.2 Objections to and Resolution of Claims and Administrative Claims

        . Unless otherwise ordered by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, the Reorganized Debtor shall File all Objections to Claims (including Administrative Claims) that are the subject of Filed proofs of claim or Filed requests for payment (other than applications for allowance of compensation and reimbursement of expenses under Sections 330 and 503 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code) and serve such Objections upon the Holder as to which the Objection is made as soon as is practicable, but, with respect to Claims, in no event later than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Effective Date, or, in either case, such later date as may be approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court upon request made before or after expiration of such applicable Objection period. All Objections shall be litigated to Final Order; provided, however, that the Reorganized Debtor shall have the authority to compromise, settle, otherwise resolve or withdraw any Objections without any requirement of approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

        Section 8.3 Estimation of Claims

        . The Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, may, at any time, request that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court estimate any contingent or unliquidated Claim pursuant to Section 502(c) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code regardless of whether or not the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor has previously objected to such Claim or the U.S. Bankruptcy Court has previously ruled on any such Objection. Claims may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn or resolved by any mechanism approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court; provided, however, that commencing on the Effective Date the Reorganized Debtor may compromise, settle or resolve any such Claims without further approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

        Section 8.4 Distributions Withheld For Disputed Administrative Claims and Disputed General Unsecured Claims

        .

      44. No Distribution Pending Allowance. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no payments or Distributions shall be made with respect to all or any portion of a Disputed Administrative Claim or Disputed General Unsecured Claim unless and until some portion thereof has become an Allowed Administrative or Allowed General Unsecured Claim, respectively.
      45. Establishment and Maintenance of Reserve. On each applicable Distribution Date, the Disbursing Agent shall reserve for the benefit of Holders of Disputed Administrative and Disputed General Unsecured Claims (the "Reserve") the Distributions to which the Holders of Disputed Administrative and Disputed General Unsecured Claims as of such Distribution Date would be entitled under the Plan if such Disputed Administrative and Disputed General Unsecured Claims were Allowed in the Face Amounts of their Disputed Administrative and Disputed General Unsecured Claims, respectively, as if the Holders thereof had received such Distributions on the Initial Distribution Date. Such amounts shall be determined by reference to the aggregate Face Amount of all Disputed Administrative or Disputed General Unsecured Claims as of such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtor and the Disbursing Agent shall establish a Reserve only for Claims with a Face Amount greater than zero. The Disbursing Agent shall maintain a register of all Disputed Administrative and General Unsecured Claims and the amounts upon which to base Reserves for such Disputed Administrative and Disputed General Unsecured Claims pursuant to the preceding sentence.
      46. Distributions upon Allowance of Disputed Claims. The Holder of a Disputed Administrative or Disputed General Unsecured Claim that becomes an Allowed Administrative or Allowed General Unsecured Claim subsequent to the Initial Distribution Date shall receive Distributions of Cash or Litigation Notes previously reserved on account of such Claim in the Reserve as soon as reasonably practicable following the allowance of any such Claim; provided, however, that neither the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor or the Disbursing Agent shall be required to make a Distribution until the aggregate Distribution to be made is equal to or greater than $1,000.00; provided further, however, that if the aggregate Distribution that would be required to be made to the Holders of all remaining Disputed Administrative and Disputed General Unsecured Claims if all such remaining Disputed Administrative and Disputed General Unsecured Claims were to become Allowed Administrative and Allowed General Unsecured Claims, as applicable, could not exceed $1,000.00, then the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor or the Disbursing Agent shall make a Distribution to any Holder of a Disputed Administrative or Disputed General Unsecured Claim as soon as reasonably practicable after the allowance of any such Claim. Such Distributions shall be made in accordance with the Plan based upon the Distributions that would have been made to such Holder under the Plan if the Disputed Administrative or Disputed General Unsecured Claim had been an Allowed Administrative or Allowed General Unsecured Claim, respectively, on or prior to the Effective Date.
      47. Excess Reserves. Upon any Disputed Administrative or Disputed General Unsecured Claim becoming a Disallowed Administrative or Disallowed General Unsecured Claim, respectively, in whole or in part, the Cash, if any, reserved for the payment of or Distribution on the Disallowed portion of such Disputed Administrative or Disputed General Unsecured Claim shall revest in the Reorganized Debtor and no longer be subject to Distribution to Holders.

        . To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 105 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code), and except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order: (A) all property distributed under the Plan shall be in consideration for, and in complete satisfaction, settlement, discharge and release of, all Claims of any nature whatsoever against or Equity Interests in the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, the Estate or any of their assets or properties and, regardless of whether any property shall have been distributed or retained pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claims or Equity Interests, upon the Effective Date, except as otherwise set forth in the Plan, (i) the Debtor shall be deemed discharged and released under Section 1141(d)(1)(A) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code from any and all Claims, including, but not limited to, demands and liabilities that arose before the Confirmation Date, debts (as such term is defined in Section 101(12) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code), Liens, security interests, and encumbrances of and against all Property of the Estate, the Debtor and its Affiliates, that arose before the Confirmation Date, including without limitation, all debts of the kind specified in Sections 502(g), 502(h) or 502(i) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, whether or not (a) such Claim has been Allowed pursuant to Section 502 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or (b) the Holder of such Claim has voted to accept the Plan and (ii) all interests of the Holders of Equity Interests shall be terminated; and (B) as of the Confirmation Date, all Persons, including, without limitation, all Holders of Claims or Equity Interests, shall be barred and enjoined from asserting against the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, their successors or their property any other or further Claims, debts, rights, Causes of Action, liabilities, or Equity Interests relating to the Debtor based upon any act, omission, transaction or other activity of any nature that occurred prior to the Confirmation Date. In accordance with the foregoing, except as provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, the Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of discharge of all such Claims and other debts and liabilities against the Debtor and termination of all Equity Interests pursuant to Sections 524 and 1141 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and such discharge and termination shall void any judgment obtained against the Debtor at any time, to the extent that such judgment relates to a discharged Claim or terminated Equity Interest.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 14.1 Revocation or Withdrawal of the Plan

. The Debtor reserves the right, at any time prior to substantial consummation of the Plan, to revoke or withdraw the Plan, but only to the extent that the Debtor could terminate the Restructuring Agreement under Article XI thereof and the Restructuring and Settlement Agreement under Article VIII thereof. If the Plan is revoked or withdrawn, if the Confirmation Date does not occur, or if Confirmation occurs but the Effective Date does not occur, then the Plan shall be null and void and have no force and effect. In such event, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or release of any claims by or against the Debtor or any other Person or to prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtor or any Person in any further proceedings involving the Debtor.

Section 14.2 Final Order

. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, any requirement in the Plan for a Final Order may be waived by the Debtor or, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor, and UGC upon written notice to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. No such waiver shall prejudice the right of any party in interest to seek a stay pending appeal of any order that is not a Final Order.

Section 14.3 Modification of the Plan

. The Debtor and UGC may alter, amend or modify the Plan in accordance with Section 1127 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or as otherwise permitted; provided, however, that neither the Debtor nor UGC may modify the Plan without the consent of the other, to the extent required in Section 2.2 of the Restructuring Agreement, the consent of IDTU, DB and IDT, or to the extent required in Section 2.3 of the Restructuring and Settlement Agreement, the consent of TTDB.

Section 14.4 Business Days

. If any payment or act under the Plan is required to be made or performed on a date that is not a Business Day, then the making of such payment or the performance of such act may be completed on the next succeeding Business Day, but shall be deemed to have been completed as of the required date.

Section 14.5 Severability

. Should the U.S. Bankruptcy Court determine, prior to the Confirmation Date, that any provision of the Plan is either illegal on its face or illegal as applied to any Claim or Equity Interest, such provision shall be unenforceable as to all Holders of Claims or Equity Interests or to the specific Holder of such Claim or Equity Interest, as the case may be, as to which such provision is illegal. Unless otherwise determined by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, such a determination of unenforceability shall in no way limit or affect the enforceability and operative effect of any other provision of the Plan. The Debtor reserves the right not to proceed with Confirmation or consummation of the Plan if any such ruling occurs. Subject to the foregoing provision of this Section 14.5, the provisions of the Plan are non-severable.

Section 14.6 Governing Law

. Except as otherwise set forth herein or to the extent that the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, U.S. Bankruptcy Rules or other federal laws are applicable, and subject to the provisions of any contract, instrument, release, indenture or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan, the construction, implementation and enforcement of the Plan and all rights and obligations arising under the Plan shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts-of-law principles which would apply the law of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York or the United States of America.

Section 14.7 Dissolution of Committees

. On the Effective Date, any Committee shall be automatically dissolved and all members, Professionals and agents of such Committee shall be deemed released of their duties, responsibilities and obligations, and shall be without further duties, responsibilities and authority in connection with the Debtor, the Chapter 11 Case, the Plan or its implementation.
