THE INTEREST ACQUISITION AUCTION
 
What is The Interest Acquisition Auction
 
The Interest Acquisition Auction is sale of all of the equity of the Debtor, Espre Solutions, Inc. by and through the Plan of Reorganization.  The Interest Acquisition Auction already has an initial bidder for the equity of Espre Solutions, Inc.  That initial bid is described in Plan Section 1.34 as being in the amount of at least $4,000,000 comprised of the Dalcor Allowed Secured Claim and $720,258 plus the Post Confirmation Operational Funding Requirement, as set forth in Section 1.44 and Plan Exhibit 1.34, derived from Disclosure Statement Exhibit VIII.B.
 
What do I do if I or my company or someone I know wants to participate
 
Anyone can participate.  You need not be a creditor to make a bid.  All you have to do to be able to participate is to follow these simple instructions:
 
1.           Fill out the Minimum Interest Acquisition bid form attached to the Plan at Plan Exhibit 1.38 completely, including the requirements setting forth who would be your officers and directors if you were to be the winning bidder as well as the requirement to provide adequate operating funds for the Debtor to operate its continuing line of business, as modified by the Confirmation of the Plan, after the Plan Closing Date, for a period of at least one (1) year, meeting the applicable guidelines of Plan Section 1.44’s Post Confirmation Operational Funding Requirements.  You will need to indicate which Executory Contract and Unexpired Leases which would be assumed and show how any cure requirements would be met.  This must be delivered to Debtor’s counsel on or before April 22, 2009, which is five (5) business days prior to the Confirmation Hearing
 
2.         Deposit with Espre’s counsel, the sum of $4,000,000, to be held in counsel’s trust account, at interest on or before April 23, 2009 which is 4 business days prior the Confirmation Hearing.
 
3.         Show up for the Confirmation Hearing, in order to be ready to bid against any      other parties who have submitted their bids or to bid against the Initial Interest Acquisition Bid detailed above.  Please note that subsequent bids will be in $100,000 increments up to $6,000,000 and thereafter at $50,000 intervals.

What if the Plan is changed prior to the Interest Acquisition Auction being held
 
Any Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid can be withdrawn, without penalty, inclusive of all interest earned, if any modifications to the Plan is made.  You must notify Debtor’s counsel of such withdrawal by e-mail or telecopy or hand delivered letter, with in 48 hours of such modification’s filing by the Debtor, unless the time frame available prior to the Confirmation Hearing is less than 48 hours in which case said Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid may be withdrawn at anytime prior to the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing by stating that the party wishes to so withdraw on the record prior to the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing.  Please note - if you are the winning bidder and you do not complete the sale, you will forfeit $200,000 as liquidated damages.
 
How was $4,000,000 established as the Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid
 
The number of $4,000,000 reflects the sum which Debtor feels is an appropriate value of the Debtor’s ongoing operations.  The value is over $715,000 in excess of the value of the known values of the constituent assets of the Debtor
 
How will the auction be conducted
 
The Interest Acquisition Auction will be conducted by Debtor’s counsel.  The Interest Acquisition Auction will begin with the last person who submitted a Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid (assuming that there are a minimum of two (2) parties in interest) having the first opportunity to bid more than the Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid in $100,000 intervals (the time of a bid submission shall be governed by the time of the delivery of the Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid Form).  If the last party in interest to submit a Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid fails to make a higher bid, then that party is out of the auction and may not acquire the Interests in the Reorganized Debtor.  The next to the last party in interest then must increase its bid or it is out of the auction.  This process will proceed until the Winning Interest Acquisition Bid is determined.
 
What sections of the Plan actually govern the process
 
The following Plan provisions, cumulatively, govern or impact, the Interest Acquisition Auction: 1.08, 1.34, 1.35, 1.38, 1.39, 1.43, 1.45 and 1.50, as well as the split as to which claims and causes of action are for the benefit of creditors and which are retained for the benefit of the Debtor, post confirmation as set forth in Plan Section 5.06 and Plan Exhibit 5.06.  Additionally, the provisions 5.01, 5.02, 5.04, 5.05 and 5.07.

III.  BRIEF EXPLANATION OF CHAPTER 11
 
Chapter 11 is the principal reorganization chapter of the Code.  Pursuant to Chapter 11, the Debtor is authorized to reorganize the Debtor’s financial affairs for their own benefit and that of the creditors.  Attempts at collection of pre-petition Claims are automatically stayed during the pendency of the case.  Formulation of a plan of reorganization is the principal purpose of a Chapter 11 Reorganization Case.  The plan is the vehicle for satisfying the holders of Claims against the Debtor.  Unless a Trustee is appointed, the Debtor has the exclusive right to file a plan during the first one hundred and twenty (120) days of the Chapter 11 Case.  Section 1121(c) of the Code provides for an automatic extension of the exclusivity period to one hundred and eighty (180) days after the commencement of the Case if the Debtor files a plan during the initial one hundred and twenty (120) day exclusivity period.  In this case, the Debtor has filed the Plan within their exclusive period.

IV.  BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBTOR AND STATUS OF THE CASE

A.  Difficulties Leading to Bankruptcy

The Debtor is a technology company specializing in media collaboration solutions powered by patented video compression technology that provides television quality streaming video over the internet and  participates in the proliferation of video content on the web, both user and provider generated. The Debtor’s principal offerings are VUELive and Lightning StrikeTM CODEC. The Debtor is still developing the technology, but plans service offerings include video chat, broadcast (both live and prerecorded), collaboration and technical support.  The continued global deployment of broadband has created a market for digital media creation and delivery. The Debtor’s focus has been to provide its customers with powerful tools to enable the rapid deployment of video offerings to customers and participating in the success of our customers’ deployment.


SECOND AMENDED DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

The Debtor is the last iteration of a New Jersey entity formed in 1953, which thereafter became a publicly traded entity.  From then until the 1980’s, the Debtor operated under various prior names, providing planning and environmental consulting services to local government agencies and private organizations. In August 1981 the Debtor suspended reporting obligations as a public company.  From roughly 1985 until July 2004, the Debtor sat dormant.

The Debtor was “found” and was twice re-domiciled, the last time in August 2004 as a Nevada corporation under the name “Espre Solutions, Inc.” The Debtor was the entity with sufficient attributes to “go public” and was used in a reverse merger transaction to acquire Espre Texas, a startup company that had acquired a license for the proprietary video CODEC, “Lightning Strike™,” and other technologies from Video Software Partners, LLC (“VSP”), in a preferred stock issuance to the founders and certain employees of Espre Texas.  On September 4, 2004, the Debtor acquired Vianet Technology from VSP, which had been developed by Vianet Technologies, Inc., which was a public company in which Peter Leighton and Peter Ianace, former officers and directors of the Debtor until the summer and fall of 2008, as well as Robert Logan, the current COO of the Debtor, were shareholders, officers and directors.  In 2004, the Debtor acquired Wireless Peripherals, Inc., a development stage company that had been developing a product called eViewLink, which the Debtor now owns and which has been integrated into the ESPRE Live platform.

The Debtor granted Media Distribution Solutions, LLC (“MDS”) an exclusive license of certain Licensed Technology for specific use in their Business, which is defined as, MDS's business to create, perform, reproduce, create derivative works of, develop, use, operate, market, sell, license, sublicense, display, publish, transmit and or distribute the Software in the business-to-consumer and/or consumer-to-consumer markets in the Territory, including, without limitation, online classifieds, entertainment applications, and/or direct consumer-oriented online communities. (which MDS asserts includes all of the technology purchased by the Debtor from VSP), pursuant to an Intellectual Property License Agreement dated April 14, 2006 (the “MDS Agreement”).   Espre also executed a Security Agreement which listed the Licensed Technology as security for the license provided by Espre.  MDS asserts an interest in the Licensed Technology of the Debtor. MDS never filed a UCC-1 regarding same and the Debtor asserts that MDS’s security agreement is unperfected and is subject to avoidance per § 544(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.  MDS issued 1,000,000 shares of stock, a ten percent equity interest in MDS, to Espre. MDS asserts it has paid Debtor license fees and royalties in excess of $900,000 of the $2.0 million required to be paid pursuant to said agreements.

In the spring of 2007, the Debtor, one if its then officers and directors and Nonsuch Holdings, Ltd. (“Nonsuch”), a company controlled by Mr. Leighton, also then an officer and director of the Debtor, established Blideo.  The Debtor and Nonsuch each contributed $200,000 in capital to Blideo. In accordance with that shareholders’ agreement, Espre and Nonsuch each owned forty percent (40%) of Blideo, and after third-party funding owned 28.76% and 22.12%, respectively. The Debtor entered into a non-exclusive worldwide license for a portion of ESPRE technology with Blideo.   Blideo has in the past and now currently sublets office space from the Debtor.  Blideo was to have been acquired, fully, by the Debtor in the fall of 2008, but such transaction was never consummated. Blideo is the beneficiary of revision to the Debtor’s license agreement, negotiated by the Debtor’s former senior management, who were also senior management of Blideo, which attempts to transfer the Debtor’s source code as to several of its key products, for a pittance.

The Debtor has generated nominal revenues in relationship to costs of operations and executive compensation since 2004. The Debtor’s operating expenses were principally research and development based to improve its acquired products, but the Debtor was laden with significant, and in many respects unnecessary, general and administrative expenses which, when combined with operating expenses, have far outstripped the Debtor’s revenue stream since the Debtor’s resurrection as an ongoing entity.   The Debtor principally generated revenues from the sale of licenses, both exclusive and not, to entities who would utilize the Debtor’s technology in their enterprises.

The Debtor generally survived on account of its ability to raise equity capital under various means generally considered to be appropriate in the industry. However, the Debtor can not definitively say whether or not all such capital raising efforts were done properly or in accordance with applicable law.  The Debtor raised in excess of $15,000,000, net, from the sale of its equity securities, which far outstripped the amount of funds which the Debtor generated from operations or from its licensing activities.  Such is to generally be expected in any endeavor into research and development of products which have significant lead time for development and which requires the employment of highly-specialized persons with the intellectual fervor to create such products.

The ability to raise equity capital for such a venture, irrespective of the prospect of the Debtor reaching its developmental goals, faded in the middle to latter part of 2008 as the investment landscape changed with the broad market downturns of late as well as the dismissal of the former management who had employed what is now believed to be questionable capital raising.  Instead of being able to rely on equity capital, the Debtor had to foray into the world of debt securities (the Debtor had initially been subject to secured financing during its acquisition phase, referenced above, but, that debt was not operational or capital in character).

In July, 2008, the Debtor entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. (“La Jolla”), pursuant to which the Debtor sold a private placement convertible debenture (the “Debenture”) to La Jolla.  The Debenture was for gross proceeds of $2,000,000 of which $250,000 was paid by La Jolla to the Debtor at the closing of the Purchase Agreement, while the balance of $1,750,000, plus accrued interest, was payable by the Debtor by way of the issuance of a promissory note (the “La Jolla Note”) due January 30, 2011.  The Debenture was convertible into shares of the Debtor’s common stock at the holder’s option, but there was a redemption provision which the Debtor could utilize.


SECOND AMENDED DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

In August, 2008, the Debtor executed a convertible secured promissory note and loan agreement (the “Note”) with Dalcor, Inc. (“Dalcor”), wherein the Debtor was lent $5,000,000 in cash, with interest accruing at 6.0% per annum, with a maturity date of August 20, 2011.  The Note was convertible, at the option of Dalcor, into Series C Preferred Stock in the Debtor.  An uncured default entitles Dalcor to declare any and all amounts owing under the Note immediately due and payable at a price of 118% of the Principal Amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest existing as of the time of such uncured default. The Debtor granted Dalcor a security interest in all of its personal property to secure its obligations under the Note.  Additionally the Debtor entered into a pledge agreement which granted Dalcor a first-priority security interest in all of the Debtor’s shares of common stock of Blideo.  The Debtor, as a part of the Dalcor transaction, redeemed the Debenture and caused the cancellation of a $100,000 note issued to Nonsuch Holdings, Ltd., an entity substantially owned or controlled by an insider of the Debtor.

This funding was, when coupled with a change of executive management and instigation of efforts to restructure and reorganize the Debtor’s operations, to have enabled the Debtor to proceed towards commercial viability as well as cover impending operating expenses of the Debtor.  However, subsequent revelations, coupled with various one time costs of downsizing and the Debtor’s effective cash burn rate set up by prior senior management, would overtake those intentions.

Specifically, as set forth in an 8-K filings made in January, 2009, based on an opinion from the Debtor’s then legal counsel, the Debtor advised Dalcor of matters which it felt constituted violations of the Note and related Transaction documents.  These included potential failures of the Debtor, in some instances to:

a)          comply with state blue sky exemptions from the registration requirements of those states in connection with the private offerings of the Company’s securities;

b)         the payment of finders’ fees to persons who were not registered representatives of licensed broker-dealers; and

c)         failures to disclose the payment of finders’ fees to investors.

The Debtor also advised Dalcor of other possible violations of the Note, including but not limited to: i) failure to disclose a material contract with Media Distributions Solutions, LLC, and All Link Live for use of Espre technology in the live adult entertainment industry; ii) the payment of commissions to an employee for assisting in the sale of Company shares; iii) reimbursement of expenses not covered under employment agreements; iv) award of stock grants and options without proper board approval and documentation; v) improper sale or transfer of restricted shares by officers and directors; vi)  receipt by Company personnel of payments or compensation from customers while negotiating contracts with those customers; and vii) verbal or implied guarantees to repurchase common shares sold to investors depending on future price performance.


SECOND AMENDED DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

As a consequence of the discovery of these items and the subsequent disclosures made by the Debtor to Dalcor, the Debtor and its auditors could not complete the audit of the Debtor’s financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2008, on a timely basis and the Debtor was consequently unable to file its Annual Report of Form 10-K for that year by January 13, 2009, the last day on which it could have been timely filed. The failure of the Debtor to file its Form 10-K on time also constitutes a default under Section 6.1(xii) of the Note.

Upon receiving this information, Oliver Chappaz, who was made a director of the Debtor as a part of the Transaction, resigned and thereafter Dalcor issued its notice of acceleration of the $5,000,000 debt, with the contractual charge of 18% as a pre-payment penalty.

Additionally, subsequent lawsuits filed by MDS and CM Capital of Texas, further triggered additional default provisions to the Dalcor Transaction.  All of this coupled with the limited amount of capital available to the Debtor led to the conclusion that the only rational means to seek to secure a reasonable exit which preserved the going  concern value of the entity, was to file for Chapter 11 and seek to persuade Dalcor to support its intended proposal.

MDS, in its lawsuit styled Media Distribution Solutions, LLC v. Espre Solutions, Inc., Case No. 429-00399-2009 in the 429th District Court, Collin County, Texas, filed just prior to the Debtor filing for relief under Chapter 11, asserts that the technology provided to various parties to licenses, including the Blideo Agreement, is Licensed Technology subject to its exclusive license agreement and asserts an interest in such technology, improvements and adaptations thereof. Espre believes the Blideo agreement is collaboration applications in the business to business markets and is therefore not covered by the License.

B.  Present Financial Status of the Debtor

The Debtor continues to revamp its operations to lower its operational cost footprint, such that it can carry on its software code related development of its product lines described above and to seek ways to commercialize such operations.  The Debtor has just barely enough funds, under current operational circumstances, to complete this plan process and to be able to continue after the Plan Closing Date, to pursue commercialization with the use of the funding coming from the Post Confirmation Operational Funding Requirement, from who ever is the Winning Interest Acquisition Bid holder.    Absent closing the Interest Acquisition Auction, the Debtor will have significantly less value, as the human intellectual capital will begin to disburse and progress on the Debtor’s product line will likely cease.  In a nutshell, the Debtor’s present financial state is precarious.  The auction called for under the Plan must proceed apace or the Debtor’s prospects of ever succeeding in paying any funds to any of its creditors are virtually non-existent.

1.             Interest Acquisition Auction.  Provided that there is a Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid other than the Initial Interest Acquisition Bid, the Interest Acquisition Auction will take place just prior to the conclusion of the Confirmation Hearing at which time the Court will recess the Confirmation Hearing so that the Interest Acquisition Auction can be held.  In order for anyone, other than Dalcor’s Initial Interest Acquisition Bid, to be a participant in the Interest Acquisition Auction they must meet the requirements set forth in Plan section 1.38 and Plan Exhibit 1.38 five business days prior to the Confirmation Hearing as to submission of the Bid form and four (4) business days prior to the Confirmation Hearing as to funding.   A Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid may only be conditioned upon the requirement that the Plan be confirmed and that a Confirmation Order has been entered.  If no other party in interest submits a Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid and the Plan is confirmed, then the Initial Interest Acquisition Bid shall prevail and shall proceed, in accordance with the terms of this Plan to the Interest Acquisition Closing.  If, however, one or more party in interest properly submits a Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid, then the Interest Acquisition Auction will be held at 9:00 a.m. on the business day prior to the Confirmation Hearing at the Debtor’s counsel’s office as set forth on the first page of the Plan.

The Interest Acquisition Auction will be conducted by Debtor’s counsel.  The Interest Acquisition Auction will begin with the last party in interest who submitted a Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid (assuming that there are a minimum of two (2) parties in interest) having the first opportunity to bid more than the Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid in $100,000 intervals up to $6,000,000 and then at $50,000 intervals thereafter.  The time of a bid submission shall be governed by the time of the delivery of the Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid requirements in Plan Section 1.38 and Plan Exhibit 1.38.   If the last party in interest to submit a Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid fails to make a higher bid, then that party is out of the auction and may not acquire the Interests in the Reorganized Debtor.  The next to the last party in interest then must increase its bid or it is out of the auction.  This process will proceed until the Winning Interest Acquisition Bid is determined.

2.              Interest Acquisition Closing. The Interest Acquisition Closing shall occur on the Plan Closing Date.  If the Winning Interest Acquisition Bid other than the Initial Interest Acquisition Bid fails to close on the Plan Closing Date, then the Initial Interest Acquisition Bid shall close as the Winning Interest Acquisition Bid at it the $4,000,000 bid amount.  A Winning Interest Acquisition Bid which does not close will be liable for liquidated damages to the Debtor in the amount of $200,000.  The difference between the Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid and the Winning Interest Acquisition Bid which occurs at the Interest Acquisition Auction must be funded to Debtor’s counsel’s trust account two (2) business days prior to the Plan Closing Date.  Any other party who has submitted a deposit but is not the Winning Interest Acquisition Bid that closes, shall have their tendered funds, with accrued interest, less any applicable liquidated damages, returned by wire within two (2) business days.  

3.             Initial Interest Acquisition Bid.   The bid made by Dalcor, the holder of the Dalcor Allowed Claim, of $4,000,000.  The actual cash amount required to be deposited by Dalcor with Debtor’s counsel, which will be held at interest until either: a) the Plan Closing Date, if Dalcor is the Winning Interest Acquisition Bid; or b) another party in interest is the Winning Interest Acquisition Bid, shall equal $720,258 plus the Post Confirmation Operational Funding Requirement, as set forth in Plan Section 1.44, based upon operating cash requirements as set forth in Disclosure Statement Exhibit VIII.B. Dalcor has obligated itself to fund the cash portion of the Initial Interest Acquisition Bid and to fund the Post Confirmation Operational Funding Requirements by means of the documents attached as Plan Exhibit 1.34.

4.             Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid as generally described above this sets forth the means by which any party in interest, other than the Initial Interest Acquisition Bid, can submit a bid to acquire the New Espre Common Stock.  The minimum amount of the Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid shall be $4,000,000.  The Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid must be tendered to Counsel for the Debtor five (5) business days prior to the Confirmation Hearing, which is April 22, 2009, and the sum required hereunder to be deposited must be wired at least four (4) business days prior to the Confirmation Hearing, to counsel for the Debtor’s client trust account, to be held at interest (which is April 23, 2009).  The Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid of any party in interest shall designate the following:
 
a)
who will be the director(s) and officers of the Debtor, post confirmation, if it becomes the Winning Interest Acquisition Bid;
 
b)
which of the Executory Contracts and Leases detailed in Article 6 of the Plan such party in interest wishes to have the Debtor assume and which are to be rejected and how the Assumption Cure Costs will be met, if such is different than set forth in those sections; and
 
c)
proof of the financial ability to meet the Post Confirmation Operational Funding Requirements set forth in the Plan

The form of the Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid is set forth as Plan Exhibit 1.38.  Any Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid can be withdrawn, without penalty, inclusive of all interest earned, if the Debtor has proposed any modifications to the Plan, after any such modification is filed, if Debtor’s counsel is notified of such withdrawal by e-mail or telecopy or hand delivered letter, with in 48 hours of such modifications filing by the Debtor, unless the time frame available prior to the Confirmation Hearing is less than 48 hours in which case said Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid may be withdrawn at anytime prior to the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing by stating that the party wishes to so withdraw on the record prior to the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing.  Two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) of the Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid shall be liquidated damages with regard to any party in interest who tenders same, and who becomes the Winning Interest Bid, but does not close such transaction on the Plan Closing Date.  Such liquidated damages shall be paid pro-rata to the holders of Allowed Class 4 General Unsecured Claims.

MDS asserts that any licensee electing to retain their rights pursuant to a rejected license agreement which the Debtor seeks to reject, may be required to tender $4,000,000 to participate in the auction as a Minimum Interest Acquisition Bid.  However, the Debtor asserts, as set forth above, that any such party may modify the designations of what is assumed or rejected and as such modify that result and as such, MDS’s assertion is not a foregone conclusion.

4.          Rights of Licensees on Account of Rejection of License where Debtor is Licensor.  Notwithstanding any clause or portion of any executory contract wherein the Debtor is the licensor, the Debtor asserts that the counter party licensee has only those rights set forth in the Section 365(n) of the Code, which is set forth hereinafter.  The Debtor reserves the right to contest any party’s assertion regarding what Section 365(n) provides and whether what is sought by the counter party is with in the scope of the protections afforded by that section:
 
(n)(1) If the trustee rejects an executory contract under which the debtor is a licensor of a right to intellectual property, the licensee under such contract may elect—
 
(A) to treat such contract as terminated by such rejection if such rejection by the trustee amounts to such a breach as would entitle the licensee to treat such contract as terminated by virtue of its own terms, applicable nonbankruptcy law, or an agreement made by the licensee with another entity; or
 
(B) to retain its rights (including a right to enforce any exclusivity provision of such contract, but excluding any other right under applicable nonbankruptcy law to specific performance of such contract) under such contract and under any agreement supplementary to such contract, to such intellectual property (including any embodiment of such intellectual property to the extent protected by applicable nonbankruptcy law), as such rights existed immediately before the case commenced, for—

(i) the duration of such contract; and
 
(ii) any period for which such contract may be extended by the licensee as of right under applicable nonbankruptcy law.
 
 (2) If the licensee elects to retain its rights, as described in paragraph (1)(B) of this subsection, under such contract—
 
(A) the trustee shall allow the licensee to exercise such rights;
 
(B) the licensee shall make all royalty payments due under such contract for the duration of such contract and for any period described in paragraph (1)(B) of this subsection for which the licensee extends such contract; and
 
(C) the licensee shall be deemed to waive—
 
(i) any right of setoff it may have with respect to such contract under this title or applicable nonbankruptcy law; and
 
(ii) any claim allowable under section 503(b) of this title arising from the performance of such contract.
 
3) If the licensee elects to retain its rights, as described in paragraph (1)(B) of this subsection, then on the written request of the licensee the trustee shall—
 
(A) to the extent provided in such contract, or any agreement supplementary to such contract, provide to the licensee any intellectual property (including such embodiment) held by the trustee; and
 
(B) not interfere with the rights of the licensee as provided in such contract, or any agreement supplementary to such contract, to such intellectual property (including such embodiment) including any right to obtain such intellectual property (or such embodiment) from another entity.
 
4) Unless and until the trustee rejects such contract, on the written request of the licensee the trustee shall—
 
(A) to the extent provided in such contract or any agreement supplementary to such contract—
 
(i) perform such contract; or

(ii) provide to the licensee such intellectual property (including any embodiment of such intellectual property to the extent protected by applicable nonbankruptcy law) held by the trustee; and
 
(B) not interfere with the rights of the licensee as provided in such contract, or any agreement supplementary to such contract, to such intellectual property (including such embodiment), including any right to obtain such intellectual property (or such embodiment) from another entity.

Any counter party to a rejected license detailed in Section 6.02 of the Plan, which is not subject to a separate motion regarding these issues, must make its 365(n)(1) election on or before the Rejection Claims Bar Date.  Such election shall be set forth in a Proof of Claim setting forth termination damages if the counter party elections § 365(n)(1)(A) or by filing a notice with the Court and counsel for the Debtor if the counter party elects § 365(n)(1)(B).  Any counter party who elects rights under § 365(n)(1)(B) must pay the Debtor any past due license fees and royalties;  must fund any past due license or royalties due as of the Plan Closing Date as set forth in the chart above.  Failure to fund same will entitle the Debtor to object to the counter party’s election and request it be voided for failure to comply with the requirements of § 365(n)(1)(B).

Specific Disclosure Requested by Certain Rejected Executory Contracts

The Debtor received specific objections from counter parties to two (2) executory contracts which the Debtor has stated it will reject if Initial Interest Acquisition Bid is the Winning Interest Acquisition Bid.  The Bankruptcy Court has held that the following disclosures, as well as others set forth herein, are sufficient to resolve those objections.

The Debtor has indicated that it will reject the executory contracts which it entered into with: a) Media Distribution Solutions, Inc. (“MDS”), an Intellectual Property Licensing Agreement with addenda (the “MDS Agreement”); and b) All Link Live, Inc. (“ALL”) and MDS, a Software and Technology Sub-License Agreement (the “ALL Agreement”).

The ALL Agreement requires the Debtor to indemnify ALL from legal costs and expenses, as well as monetary damages incurred by ALL on account of: a) Espre or MDS breaching the ALL Agreement; b) any third party claims asserting the license set forth in the ALL Agreement from MDS to ALL is invalid or unenforceable; c) any third party claims made against ALL on account of MDS or Espre breaching the representations or warranties set forth in the ALL Agreement; and d) any claims by third parties that the use of the Licensed Technology, but not Licensed Technology Derivative Work, infringes on any third party’s patents, copyrights or other kinds of intellectual property.   The rejection of the ALL Agreement will generate an opportunity for ALL to file a proof of claim regarding its asserted damages.  To the extent those damage claims are ultimately allowed, they will dilute the immediate potential recovery for all holders of Allowed Claims in Class 4 and will increase the amount of funds which must be paid in order for claimants in lower classes to receive any distribution under the Plan.  The Debtor will object to such a proof of claim to the extent that there is a basis to question the propriety of the damage claim asserted.  However, there is nothing about the ALL Agreement itself which will hamper the Debtor’s reorganization effort or the Debtor’s ability to operate post confirmation as projected.  The Debtor asserts that ALL has no rights as against the Debtor under §365(n) as a sub-licensee of MDS.


SECOND AMENDED DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
 
 
Page 27 of 47

 
 
The Debtor also asserts that the MDS Agreement, upon which the ALL Agreement is dependent, is an intellectual property license agreement regarding certain of the Debtor’s core technology assets.  In connection with this Chapter 11 proceeding, MDS filed a motion to lift the automatic stay to allow MDS to do the following: a) terminate the agreement and retain a non exclusive right to the ownership of the License Technology as that term is defined in the MDS Agreement; b) acquire 1,000,000 shares of MDS for $1; and c) seek damages for asserted failures to deliver items required under the MDS Agreement.   MDS asserts that it is entitled to such relief because the Debtor has no equity in the Licensed Technology and that it is not needed for an effective reorganization.

The Debtor has answered that motion, (which has now been withdrawn by MDS without prejudice to refilling) denying that relief is appropriate, stating that the underlying technology is necessary to a plan of reorganization reasonably in prospect and has also filed a motion to reject the MDS Agreement and require MDS to make its election under §365(n) prior to the Confirmation Hearing Date.  In the Debtor’s motion and in its response to MDS’s motion referenced above, the Debtor asserts that since the MDS Agreement is clearly a license agreement where the Debtor is the licensor, that the decision on whether the MDS Agreement should be assumed and proceed forward post confirmation or be rejected, is the Debtor’s exclusive province.  MDS’s contractual ability to terminate the MDS Agreement has been superseded by the filing of this Chapter 11 and the decision is solely the Debtors.  MDS asserts that it is entitled to exercise its contractual remedies, notwithstanding what is set forth in various portions of §365 which modify or eliminate such remedies.  The Bankruptcy Court will either grant it or deny it in accordance with applicable case law standards relative to same.  It is the Debtor’s contention that the motion to lift the automatic stay will be denied on multiple grounds.

The Debtor further asserts that MDS has its own choice to make under §365(n).  It can either choose to treat the MDS Agreement as: a) terminated, in which case the termination would leave MDS with no rights in the Licensed Technology and the ability to file a proof of claim, by a date certain, where it can assert its damage claim as a Class 7 Residual Set Off Claim as to any amount which the Debtor asserts and proves are due to it from MDS and a Class 4 General Unsecured Claim for the balance of MDS’s asserted damage claim, if any; or b) retain MDS’s rights under the MDS Agreement, which would entitle MDS to exclusive use of the Licensed Technology, as it exists on the Petition Date for as long as the MDS Agreement provides.


SECOND AMENDED DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
 
 
Page 28 of 47

 
 
The Debtor asserts that if MDS chooses the latter option, the Debtor does not have to specifically perform or complete any unfinished aspects which the MDS Agreement might otherwise require, but merely must give access to the License Technology in its condition on the Petition Date.  The Debtor need not provide upgrades or updates.  The Debtor can wholly abandon that technology if it wishes or carry forward with what rights it has and develop those and MDS will not be entitled to the results of such development.

However, the Debtor asserts that for MDS to exercise the “retain its rights” option it must: i) pay the Debtor all past due license and royalty fees (a sum well in excess of $1,000,000); and ii) pay any subsequent royalties that are required under the MDS Agreement.  MDS must do so with out any right to set off any claims it believes it may have regarding any asserted failure to perform prior the Petition Date or that the Licensed Technology is faulty or does not meet specifications or any other damage claim which otherwise might be asserted.  MDS can file a proof of claim for all of its asserted damages without the Debtor making any claim of offset and be treated as a Class 4 General Unsecured Claim as to the amount which is ultimately allowed.

MDS, on March 25, 2009, filed a proof of claim for $4,350,000.  The  Debtor will be objecting to that claim for voting as well as allowance purposes on grounds which will be detailed in such response.  The effect of the proof of claim, to the extent allowed, will be the same as any claim filed and allowed by ALL, it will increase the amount of claim which participates in Class 4, but it will not impair the Debtor’s ability to confirm the Plan.

MDS Specific Assertions

MDS asserts that the Debtor has failed to produce technology pursuant to one or more licenses, including the MDS Agreement; as a result, such licensees have no reasonable basis to evaluate the value of such licensed technology. Nevertheless, MDS asserts, such licensees are required to make an election pursuant to Section 6.03 and 6.04 of the Plan. This procedure affects the rights and interests asserted by any party to any license identified in Section 6.02 where the Debtor is the licensor, as well as the rights of sub-licensees or other related interest. MDS asserts that the procedure proposed by the Debtor is detrimental to its interests.

MDS asserts it was granted an exclusive license to Licensed Technology pursuant to the MDS Agreement. Pursuant to such Agreement, addendums, and related agreements, MDS asserts an interest in the Licensed Technology together with any improvements and additions thereto. MDS asserts 1) the right to terminate the agreement and retain a non exclusive right to the ownership of the License Technology as that term is defined in the MDS Agreement; b) the right to repurchase its 1,000,000 shares of stock for $1, MDS asserts these provisions of the Agreement are valid and enforceable pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. MDS acknowledges that the Debtor disputes this and asserts that MDS is limited to one election pursuant to Section 365(n), as set forth in Sections 6.03 and 6.04 of the Plan.   MDS asserts that the Plan is prejudicial to its interests.


SECOND AMENDED DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

 
Page 29 of 47

 

The Debtor strongly disagrees with MDS’s assessment of the law and its assertions of facts and continues to assert that all creditors will receive more under the Plan than if the same issues are dealt with in a Chapter 7 liquidation where the same legal principles apply with regard to the Debtor as licensor and there is little or no prospect of funds being paid to any unsecured creditor.
 
F.   Retention of Causes of Action
 
1.          Retention of Claims and Causes of Action and Transfer of Authority to Prosecute Specific Claims and Causes of Action to Litigation Agent.  All causes of action, rights, claims and demands against any third parties, creditors, investors, individuals, insiders or other entities which the Debtor or the Debtor in Possession owns or has an interest in or can assert in any fashion, in any forum, since their formation, or which could be asserted by any  Trustee under the Bankruptcy Code, whether pre-petition or post-petition, directly or in a derivative fashion, including, but not limited to, actions under §§ 542 through 553 of the Bankruptcy Code and § 510 of the Bankruptcy Code to recover assets for the Debtor’s estate and to subordinate claims, as well as all proceeds of and recoveries on Debtor’s  Actions, are retained by the Debtor post confirmation.  The Debtor shall be, post confirmation, a representative of the estate pursuant to Section 1123(b)(3)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Those specific claims or causes of action separately set forth and identified in Plan Exhibit 5.06 shall be the Retained Claims and Causes of Action – Litigation Agent and are for the benefit of the holders of Allowed Claims in Classes 4-6 in accordance with the requirements set forth in Plan Sections 3.06-3.08.  All other claims and causes of action not described therein shall be Retained Claims and Causes of Action and shall be retained for the benefit of the Debtor post confirmation.
 
G.   Effect of Confirmation
 
1.          Discharge of Claims.  Except as provided for in the Plan as to the obligations set forth therein, upon the Confirmation Order becoming a Final Order, the Debtor will be discharged from all claims or other debts that arose before the Confirmation Date as set forth in Section 1141 of the Code.  Additionally, all Persons who have claims against the Debtor which arise prior to the Confirmation Date shall also be prohibited from asserting such claims against the Debtor, except as provided in the Plan.

2.          Injunctions. Except as provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, as of the Effective Date, all entities that have held, currently hold, or may hold a Claim or other debt or liability against the Debtor or an Interest or other right of an equity security holder in the Debtor are permanently enjoined from taking any of the following actions on account of any such Claims, debts, liabilities or interests: (1) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceedings against the Debtor or the Debtor's property; (2) enforcing, attaching, collecting or recovering in any manner any judgment, award, decree or order against the Debtor or the Debtor's property; (3) creating, perfecting or enforcing any lien or encumbrance against the Debtor or the Debtor’s property; and (4) commencing or continuing any action, in any manner, in any place that does not comply with or is inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.

3.         Revesting and Vesting.  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, on and after the Effective Date, all Property of the Debtor’s estate shall vest in the Debtor  free and clear of all Claims, liens, debts, liabilities, charges, interests and other encumbrances.

VI.  JURISDICTION

1.         Retention of Jurisdiction and Closing of the Case.  The Plan retains jurisdiction of the Court for a number of specific purposes set out in Section 9.05 of the Plan.  The jurisdictional provision is intended to allow the Debtor and other parties in interest to finalize all litigation, including claims determinations, and to administer the Debtor case and pay claims.

2.          Miscellaneous Provisions.  Except as expressly stated in the Plan, or allowed by the Court, no interest, penalty or late charge is to be Allowed on any Claim subsequent to the Filing Date.  No attorneys’ fees will be paid with respect to any Claim except as specified in the Plan or as allowed by an order of the Court.  After Confirm­ation, the Debtor may, with the approval of the Court, and so long as it does not materially or adversely affect the interest of Creditors, remedy any defect or omission, or reconcile any inconsistencies in the Plan or in the Order of Confirmation, in such manner as may be necessary to carry out the purposes and effect of the Plan.

VII.  VOTING

B.  Persons Entitled to Vote.  In order to simplify the voting procedure, ballots have been sent to all known holders of all Claims in classes.  Holders of Allowed Claims and holders of Disputed Claims which have been temporarily allowed for voting purposes are entitled to vote on the Plan.  For purposes of the Plan, an Allowed Claim is a Claim against the Debtor which (a) has been scheduled by the Debtor pursuant to the Code as undisputed, non contingent, and liquidated and as to which no objection has been filed within the time allowed for the filing of objections, (b) as to which a timely proof of claim or application for payment has been filed and as to which no objection has been filed within the time allowed for filing of objections, (c) has been Allowed by Final Order, or (d) has been Allowed under the Plan.  Therefore, although the holders of Disputed Claims will receive ballots, these votes will not be counted unless such claims become Allowed Claims as provided under the Plan or are temporarily allowed for voting purposes by the Court.

Pursuant to the requirements of section 1126 of the Code, each Class of impaired Claims or Interests is entitled to vote on acceptance or rejection of the Plan.  Any Creditor of the Debtor whose Claim is in an impaired Class under the Plan is entitled to vote, unless their class has been deemed to reject on account of the treatment afforded that class.


SECOND AMENDED DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

 
Page 32 of 47

 
 
Under section 1124(2) of the Code, a Class is impaired under a Plan unless, with respect to each Claim or Interest of such Class, such Plan:

1.          Leaves unaltered the legal, equitable, and contractual rights of the holder of such Claim or Interest; or

2.          Notwithstanding any contractual provision or applicable law that entitled the holder of a Claim or Interest to receive accelerated payment of its Claim or Interest after the occurrence of a default:

 
a.
Cures any such default that occurred before or after the commencement of the Case under the Code, other than a default of the kind specified in section 365(b)(2) of the Code;

 
b.
Reinstates the maturity of such Claim or Interest as it existed before the default;

 
c.
Compensates the holder of such Claim or Interest for damages incurred as a result of reasonable reliance on such contractual provision or applicable law; and

 
d.
Does not otherwise alter the legal, equitable, or contractual rights to which such Claim or equity Interest entitles the holder of such Claim or Interest.

Claims in Classes 2 and 4-5 are impaired as defined in Section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code. Such classes which are impaired under the Plan and persons holding such Claims in such Classes are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan, unless disputed or subject to an objection as set forth above. Class 6 Interests are also impaired, but since the interests will be cancelled and their likelihood of any recovery is extremely remote under the Plan, they are deemed to have rejected the Plan and will not be entitled to vote on the Plan.

C.         Vote Required For Class Acceptance of The Plan.  As a condition to Confirmation, the Code requires that each impaired Class of Claims or Interests accept the Plan, subject to the exceptions described below.  At least one impaired Class of Claims must accept the Plan.

Section 1126 of the Code defines acceptance of a Plan by a Class of Claims as acceptance by holders of two thirds in dollar amount and a majority in number of Claims of that Class actually voting to accept or reject the Plan.  The Code defines acceptance of a Plan by a Class of Interests as acceptance by two thirds in amount of the Allowed Interests of such Class held by holders of such Interests actually voting to accept or reject the Plan.  Holders of Claims or Interests which fail to vote are not counted as either accepting or rejecting the Plan.


SECOND AMENDED DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

 
Page 33 of 47

 
 
Classes of Claims and Interests that are not impaired under the Plan are deemed as a matter of law to have accepted the Plan and therefore are not permitted to vote for such Plan.  Classes of Claims and Interests that do not receive or retain any property under the Plan on account of such Claims or Interests are deemed to have rejected the Plan.  ACCEPTANCES OF THE PLAN ARE BEING SOLICITED ONLY FROM IMPAIRED CLASSES OF CLAIMS.

VIII.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE DEBTOR

A.        Financial Information Regarding the Debtor. The Debtor’s post petition financial status is set forth in the attached monthly operating statements (see Exhibit “VIII.A.”), which covers reports required to be filed during the period of time that the Debtor has been in Chapter 11. All of this data will, in conjunction with the projections submitted, be sufficient for the creditors of the Debtor who are entitled to vote, to determine whether to vote for or against the Plan.

B.         Projected Operations Post Plan Closing Date.   The Debtor has projected the revenue which current operations, as well as reasonably expected revenue increases should generate.  When coupled with the cost structure which the Debtor asserts in necessary to properly man and operate the Debtor in order to achieve a modicum of commercial success, the Debtor asserts that it will need at least $1,750,000 of operating capital to get through the next year and to a point of operating profitability.  Attached as Disclosure Statement Exhibit VIII.B., is a forecast of post confirmation operating costs and the resulting negative cash flow amounts which cause the Debtor to need $1,750,000 of funds to get to profitability in 2010.

IX.  ACCEPTANCE AND CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN

A.  Requirements for Confirmation.  At the Confirmation hearing, the Court will determine whether the provisions of section 1129 of the Code have been satisfied.  The requirements of section 1129 of the Code, as well as a description of the requirements for a “cramdown” over rejecting classes of claims or interests is set forth in Exhibit “IX,” attached hereto and fully incorporated herein.   If all of the provisions of section 1129 are met, the Court may enter an order confirming the Plan.  The Court may confirm only one plan.   If the requirements of section 1129(a) and (b) are met with respect to more than one plan, the Court shall consider the preferences of creditors and equity security holders in determining which plan to confirm.

B.  The Plan Meets All of the Requirements for Confirmation.  The Debtor believes that the Plan satisfies all of the statutory requirements of Chapter 11 of the Code and therefore should be confirmed.  More specifically: (1) the Plan complies with all of the applicable provisions of the Code; (2) the Debtor, the proponent of the Plan, has complied with the Code and has proposed the Plan in good faith;  (3) all disclosure requirements concerning (a) payments made or to be made for services rendered in connection with the Chapter 11 case or the Plan, and (b) the identity and affiliations of individuals who will serve the Reorganized Debtor after confirmation have been, or will be met prior to or at the confirmation hearing; and (4) Administrative Claims, Priority Claims, and fees required to be paid under the Code are appropriately treated under the Plan.  The Plan also meets the “best interest of creditors” test and is “feasible.”  In addition, as discussed hereafter, if any Class of Claims reject the Plan, the Plan can nevertheless be confirmed because it meets the “cramdown” standard with respect to such Class.


SECOND AMENDED DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

 
Page 34 of 47

 
 
1.          The Plan Meets the “Best Interest of Creditors” Test.  The “best interest of creditors” test requires that the Court find that the Plan provides to each non-accepting holder of a Claim or Interest treated under the Plan a recovery which has a present value at least equal to the present value of the distribution that such person would receive from the Debtor if the Debtor were liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Code.  Reference to the Liquidation Analysis of Article XI of this Disclosure Statement demonstrates that the Plan meets the best interest of creditors test with respect to all Claims and Interests.

2.          The Plan is “Feasible”.  The Code requires that, as a condition to Confirmation of a Plan, the Court find that Confirmation is not likely to be followed by liquidation or a need for further financial reorganization except as proposed in the Plan.  The Plan provides for a means to pay all creditors the distributions which are generated by the Interest Acquisition Auction as set forth in the Plan.  The only functional issue is whether there will be any other bidders for the Interest Acquisition Auction other than the Initial Interest Acquisition Bid.

3.          The Plan Meets the Cramdown Standard with Respect to any Impaired Class of Claims Rejecting the Plan.   The Plan can still be confirmed if there is an impaired class of claims or interests that reject the Plan because the Plan satisfies the  provisions of cramdown of  Interests under §1129(b)(2) of the Code.  Specifically, the principal secured creditor is receiving the value of their interest in the Interest Acquisition Auction totaling the allowed amount of their claims, or receiving New ESPRE Common Stock, which, as a Co-Proponent, they are acknowledging will be sufficient to satisfy their legal rights. As to unsecured claimants, there is no junior class of interests which are retaining anything under the Plan on account of their interests, unless there has been payment of all such senior classes in full.

X.  ASSETS AND THEIR VALUES

The following is a summary description of the Debtor’s assets, with values assumed for the Debtor’s Plan Closing Date, assumed to be prior to the first third of May, 2009. The information is compiled by the Debtor from its records, the Schedules and Statement of Financial Affairs, and Monthly Operating Reports filed by the Debtor and where applicable reflect amounts that are derived from the Debtor’s assertion of the present value of such assets.  This valuation is based upon the principal assets being sold at a non liquidation sale pace, utilizing the values set forth in the Plan or other documentation. The Debtor contends that these values will hold through the Plan Closing Date.

________________________
2 Projected unaudited balances in DIP accounts as of the projected Plan Closing Date and this number includes security deposits refunded to Debtor from third parties without claims against the Debtor which are subject to Dalcor, Inc.’s perfected security interest ($26,000).  At the time of the filing of this Disclosure Statement the Debtor has $480,628.37 in cash and demand deposit funds after all outstanding checks have cleared.
 
3 This assumes that all of the deposits held by non landlord third parties have returned those funds and that such funds are allowed to be used by Dalcor as their cash collateral.
 
4 Includes value of Dell computer which Debtor asserts is not perfected despite Dell’s assertion to the contrary that it has a PMSI.  Such assertion assumes that the computer is a consumer item and that filing with the secretary of state of Nevada is not required.  Such position is incorrect and is the basis for an objection to the extent and validity of the asserted lien.
 
5 The Debtor has 595,833 shares of Blideo, Inc., which represents roughly 30% of the outstanding shares of that entity.  Current officers and directors, B G Moore and William Hopke, are on the board of directors of Blideo.  The value set forth for Blideo in the Debtor’s schedules was “unknown”.  That valuation remains as such despite such intimate knowledge of that entity, because, as a start up company, Blideo has yet to generate any revenues.  Though it is believed that it will be successful, it is extremely difficult to estimate at this time its value.  The Debtor also has 1,000,000 shares of Media Distribution Solutions, LLC “(“MDS”).  The Debtor and MDS are the subject of a pre-petition state court lawsuit which is now stayed.  The Debtor has not been able to ascertain the value of MDS as a whole to be able to ascertain the value of its holdings due to the litigation.  The Plan affects the executory contract between the Debtor and MDS on account of it being rejected.  That rejection has an unknown affect on the value of MDS relative to asserted indemnity rights of MDS which would become, if allowed, a General Unsecured Claim.  Due to the above, the valuation at unknown will remain.
 
6 The loans to insiders B G Moore and Williams Hopke of $20,000 per person are payable pursuant to the following terms interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1 (one) percent per annum on the unpaid balance with interest to be compounded annually. The entire outstanding Loan Amount (including principal and any accrued interest) shall become fully due and payable by the borrower within 45 days of receipt of written demand by the Debtor or any subsequent holder and are valued at face.  Vizeo, Inc. is the other party who owes the Debtor $38,000 on a promissory note.
 
7 These values do not include any payments of any license fees or royalties under 365(n)(2)(B) as all rejected licenses are assumed to take the termination option of 365(n)(1)(A).
 
8  The list set forth in SOFA 3b shows that $1,885,000 in payments was made in the last 90 days.  As stated in Plan Exhibit 5.06, of that total, there are many payments which clearly were for ordinary course of business transactions which when paid and addressed payments for rent, payroll, third party contractors, and other normal obligations paid on normal terms.  However, as set forth in Plan Exhibit 5.06, there are $349,587 of payments which may be avoidable by the Debtor pursuant to Sections 544, 547 or 548 of the Code.  The value of those prospective causes of action, as a part of the Retained Claims and Causes of Action, prior to any split pursuant to the Plan, is asserted to be $162,293.78 based upon taking the total amount of payments ($324,587) and multiplying that time 50% so that standardized defenses under 547(c) can be given weight and so as to not overstate their potential value.  With regard to other Retained Claims and Causes of Action listed in Plan Exhibit 5.06, they are listed as unknown in Schedule B -35 because, as of the date of the filing of this Disclosure Statement, there is no feasible way to ascertain the value of the causes of action referenced.  The damages potentially available may be significant, as will be the costs.  URL registration rights to VUELive.com are prospectively extremely damaging to the Debtor’s operations, but the value of that potential damage is both hard to assess and is also not yet existent, as no adverse action has been taken which would cause any damage to the Debtor. The claims as to Blideo, Inc. as set forth in Plan Exhibit 5.06, are also hard to quantify, monetarily, as the requirement to deliver the source code to Blideo, as facially required per the July 14, 2008 addendum to the previously executed Software and Royalty License Agreement, but access to the Debtor’s source code(s) alone, is of exceedingly higher value than what the Debtor got in return.  In essence many of the Retained Claims and Causes of Action of this type are defensive as to values stated herein for other assets.

XI. LIABILITIES

A.           Administrative Expenses.    Upon Court approval, the Debtor has employed Wright Ginsberg Brusilow P. C. (“WGB”) as general bankruptcy counsel in connection with this case.  WGB has incurred approximately $34,500 in fees and expenses through February 28, 2009, in connection with this case.  WGB will seek to draw down this amount from its $62,088.50 pre-petition retainer.  WGB will have roughly $27,600 remaining in its retainer for services and expenses which will accrue through the Plan Closing Date.  WGB anticipates that the fees and expenses incurred up to the Plan Closing Date, inclusive of the closing required under the Plan, will add between $45,000 to $55,000 to the amount due, depending upon the degree to which the Plan is opposed, for a total range of $17,500 to $30,000 of funds necessary beyond the retainer balance remaining as of the end of February, although that number could increase depending upon the extent and degree of opposition which occurs in the case or if additional litigation has to be initiated in the Bankruptcy Court to address issues critical to the Debtor’s survival.  Unpaid statutory fees of up to $14,875 under 28 U.S.C. § 1930 are estimated to be due on or before the Plan Closing Date.

B.    Claims of Secured Creditors.   There is only one principal secured creditor, Dalcor, Inc.  The only other secured claim is for ad valorem business personal property taxes.  The total amount of “secured” claims per the schedules is:

1.
 
Dalcor, Inc.
  $ 3,279,742.00  
             
2.
 
Personal Property Ad Valorem Taxes
  $ 514.00  
             
Total
 
 
  $ 3,280,256.00  

C.           Claims of Priority Creditors.  There are $13,417.18 of pre-petition priority accrued vacation/sick leave/expense and unsecured tax claims.

D.            Unsecured Claims. After taking into the unsecured portions of the undersecured creditors, the total amount of unsecured debt is estimated to be $3,519,045.55 and is held by roughly 25-35 separate creditors.  There are unsecured creditors to whose claims the will Debtor will object, but the effect of such possible objections are not reflected herein.  Also, the amount does not include any rejection damages held by any holders of rejected executory contracts or unexpired leases, save for the net amount, after application of security deposit, of the premises lease the Debtor currently occupies.  As of the date of the filing of this Disclosure Statement, the six (6) proof of claims filed have added $1,700,000 to the total asserted unsecured claims.  The Debtor’s right to object to any such proof of claim or to seek to have any such claim subordinated under §510(b) is reserved under the Plan, if no objections or adversary proceeding is filed prior to the Confirmation Date.

XII. LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS

In order to determine whether or not the Plan complies with the “best interest of creditors” test of section 1129(a)(7) of the Code, it is necessary to do an analysis of the liquidation of the Debtor’ assets in a Chapter 7 as of the Confirmation Date. The Liquidation Analysis assumes the sale of all assets at “liquidation values”, as such there is no going concern value given for the Debtor’s current business.

The values of the assets that would be liquidated in Chapter 7 liquidation are based on the values already set forth in Article X of this Disclosure Statement, except as noted.  The values have been reduced, however, by various discounts for sale and selling expenses as set forth in the Liquidation Analysis.  A summary of the major assets and the assumptions upon which the discounts are based for the liquidation of such assets is set forth in the following paragraphs:

15 This figure represents an estimate of the amount of ordinary course of business operational administrative claims that would get Chapter 11 administrative priority, exclusive of attorney’s fees, for normally accruing, but not yet paid, as of the hypothetical date of conversion.  This number is based upon calculations of the Debtor as to remaining incurred but unpaid operating expenses as of the end of April 2009.

The Debtor believe the Plan is superior to the recovery risks ands delays under a Chapter 7 liquidation because the total value of the Debtor to its unsecured creditors is more under the Plan is more than they will receive under a Chapter 7, because the Initial Interest Acquisition Bid of $4,000,000, after deductions for administrative claims, set aside for the Litigation Agent, to cure any monetary default of assumed executory contracts is in excess of $450,000, which is ten (10) times greater than the sum of $42,868.60 set forth above.
 
_______________________
16  An additional approximately $6,200,000 in filed proof of claims, over what the Debtor has scheduled, has been filed as of the filing of this Disclosure Statement.  The numbers used above do not include same.  However, if allowed, those additional claims would decrease any dividend available to unsecured creditors and as such the end result of the analysis stays the same.

SECOND AMENDED DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

 
Page 41 of 47

 
 
A.  Introduction

The following discussion summarizes certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan to the Debtors and holders of Claims and Interests.  The summary is provided for general informational purposes only and is based on the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”), the treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial authority and current administrative rulings and practice, all as in effect as of the date hereof (except as otherwise noted below with regard to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009), and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.  Changes in any of these authorities or in their interpretation could cause the United States federal income tax consequences of the Plan to differ materially from the consequences described below.  The United States federal income tax consequences of the Plan are complex and in important respects uncertain.  No ruling has been requested from the Internal Revenue Service (the “Service”); no opinion has been requested from Debtor’s counsel concerning any tax consequence of the Plan; and no tax opinion is given by this Disclosure Statement.

The following discussion does not address all aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular holder of a Claim or Interest in light of its particular facts and circumstances or to particular types of holders of Claims subject to special treatment under the Tax Code.  For example, the discussion does not address issues of concern to broker-dealers or other dealers in securities, or foreign (non-U.S.) persons, nor does it address any aspects of state, local, or foreign (non-U.S.) taxation, or the taxation of holders of Interests in a Debtor.  In addition, a substantial amount of time may elapse between the Confirmation Date and the receipt of a final distribution under the Plan.  Events subsequent to the date of this Disclosure Statement, such as the enactment of additional tax legislation, court decisions or administrative changes, could affect the federal income tax consequences of the Plan and the transactions contemplated hereunder.

On February 13, 2009, the House of Representatives and the Senate passed H.R.1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the Recovery Act), a stimulus bill that includes tax breaks for businesses and individuals. The President signed the Recovery Act on February 17, 2009. The following discussion does not address any aspects of the Recovery Act, some of which may be relevant to a particular holder of a Claim or an Interest.


SECOND AMENDED DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

 
Page 42 of 47

 
 
THE DISCUSSION THAT FOLLOWS IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR CAREFUL TAX PLANNING AND PROFESSIONAL TAX ADVICE BASED ON THE INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES OF EACH HOLDER OF A CLAIM OR INTEREST.  EACH HOLDER OF A CLAIM OR INTEREST IS URGED TO CONSULT WITH ITS TAX  ADVISORS REGARDING THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX  CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN.

B.  Certain Definitions

For purposes of this Article XIV, except as expressly otherwise provided or unless the context otherwise requires, all capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein or in the Plan shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in this Article XIV.

COD” shall mean cancellation of indebtedness income.

NOL” shall mean net operating loss.

C.  Certain Material Federal Income Tax Consequences to the Debtor

Cancellation of a Debtor's debt is generally taxable income to the Debtor.  COD is the amount by which the indebtedness of a Debtor discharged exceeds any consideration given in exchange therefore.  Cancellation of a debt may not necessarily be COD, however.  To the extent that the Debtor is insolvent, or if the Debtor is in bankruptcy, as is the case here, the Tax Code permits the Debtor to exclude the COD from its gross income.  The statutory exclusion for COD in a title 11 case generally excludes COD from gross income if the discharge is granted by a court to a Debtor under its jurisdiction in a title 11 case, as is sought herein.

The price for the bankruptcy COD exclusion (as well as the insolvency exclusion) is reduction of the Debtor's tax attributes to the extent of the COD income, generally in the  following order: NOLs for the year of the discharge and NOL carryovers from prior years;  general business tax credit carryovers; minimum tax credit available as of the beginning of the  year following the year of discharge; net capital loss for the year of discharge and capital loss  carryovers from prior years; basis of the Debtor's assets; passive activity loss and credit  carryovers from the year of discharge; and foreign tax credit carryovers to or from the year of  discharge.  The reduction of attributes does not occur until after the end of the Debtor's tax year in which the COD occurred, so they are available to the Debtor in determining the amount of its income, loss and tax liability for the year of discharge.


SECOND AMENDED DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

 
Page 43 of 47

 
 
As a result of the implementation of the Plan, the Debtors will have COD and potential attribute reduction.  Because any reduction in tax attributes does not effectively occur until the first day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the COD is incurred, the resulting COD, on its own, should not impair the ability of the Debtor to use their tax attributes (to the extent otherwise available) to reduce their tax liability, if any, otherwise resulting from the implementation of the Plan.

D.  Reduction of NOLs

The Tax Code provides that a debtor in a bankruptcy case must reduce certain of its tax attributes, such as NOL carryforwards, current year NOLs, tax credits and tax basis in assets, by the amount of any COD realized upon consummation of the Plan.  As a result of Consummation of the Plan, and in particular the cancellation of some Claims and exchange of other Claims for cash or potentially New Espre Common Stock (depending upon who is the Winning Interest Acquisition Bid holder), the Debtor expects to potentially realize substantial COD. The extent of such COD and resulting tax attribute reduction will depend significantly on the amount of the Winning Interest Acquisition Bid and the resulting amount of cash distributed.  Based on the Initial Interest Acquisition Bid, it is anticipated that there will be material reductions in the NOL carryforwards and current year NOLs of the Debtor post confirmation, but that there will still be a significant NOL present.

E.  Limitation on NOL Carryforwards and Other Tax Attributes

Following the implementation of the Plan, the Debtor anticipates that any remaining NOL and tax credit carryforwards and, possibly, certain other tax attributes of the Debtor allocable to periods prior to the Effective Date (collectively, “Pre-Change Losses”) will be subject to limitation under section 382 of the Tax Code as a result of an “ownership shift” of the Debtor by reason of the transactions pursuant to the Plan.

Under section 382 of the Tax Code, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership shift,” the amount of its Pre-Change Losses that may be utilized to offset future taxable income generally is subject to an annual limitation. As discussed more fully herein, the Debtor anticipates that the issuance of the New Espre Common Stock pursuant to the Plan will result in an “ownership shift” of the Debtor post confirmation for these purposes, and that the Debtor’s use of its NOL carryforwards, if any, will be subject to limitation unless an exception to the general rules of section 382 of the Tax Code applies.

In general, the amount of the annual limitation to which a corporation that undergoes an ownership change would be subject is equal to the product of (a) the fair market value of the stock of the loss corporation immediately before the ownership change (with certain adjustments) multiplied by (b) the “long-term tax-exempt rate” in effect for the month in which the ownership change occurs.  Any unused limitation may be carried forward, thereby increasing the annual limitation in the subsequent taxable year.


SECOND AMENDED DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

 
Page 44 of 47

 
 
An exception to the foregoing annual limitation rules generally applies when so-called “qualified creditors” of a company in bankruptcy (which Dalcor appears to meet – but the Debtor is not warranting or making any specific assertions about) receive, in respect of their claims, at least 50% of the vote and value of the stock of a reorganized debtor pursuant to a confirmed chapter 11 plan (the “382(l)(5) Exception”).  Under the 382(l)(5) Exception, a debtor’s Pre-Change Losses are not limited on an annual basis but, instead, are required to be reduced by the amount of any interest deductions claimed during the three taxable years preceding the Effective Date, and during the part of the taxable year prior to and including the plan of reorganization, in respect of all debt converted into stock in the reorganization.  If the 382(l)(5) Exception applies and the Debtor undergoes another ownership change within two years after Consummation of the Plan, then the Reorganized Debtors’ Pre-Change Losses would be eliminated in their entirety.

Where the 382(l)(5) Exception is not applicable, here because the Winning Interest Acquisition Bid holder is not a qualifying creditor or the Debtor, post confirmation otherwise elects not to utilize the 382(l)(5) Exception, a second special rule will generally apply (the “382(l)(6) Exception”). When the 382(l)(6) Exception applies, a corporation in bankruptcy that undergoes an “ownership change” generally is permitted to determine the fair market value of its stock after taking  into account the increase in value resulting from any surrender or cancellation of creditors’ claims in the bankruptcy.  This differs from the ordinary rule that requires the fair market value of a corporation that undergoes an ownership change to be determined before the events giving rise to the change.  The 382(l)(6) Exception also differs from the  382(l)(5) Exception in that under it the Debtor is not required to reduce its NOLs by the amount of interest deductions claimed within the prior three-year period and the Debtor may undergo a change of ownership within two years without triggering the elimination of their NOLs.

F.  United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of Payment
of Allowed Claims Pursuant to the Plan

The United States federal income tax consequences of payment of Allowed Claims pursuant to the Plan will depend on, among other things, the consideration received, or deemed to have been received, by the holder of the Allowed Claim, whether such holder reports income on the accrual or cash method, whether such holder receives distributions under the Plan in more than one taxable year, whether such holder’s Claim is allowed or disputed at the Effective Date, whether such holder has taken a bad debt deduction or worthless security deduction with respect to its Claim.

In general, a holder of a Claim should recognize gain or loss equal to the amount realized under the Plan in respect of its Claim less the amount of such holder’s basis in its Claim.  Any gain or loss recognized in the exchange may be long-term or short-term capital  gain or loss or ordinary income or loss, depending upon the nature of the Claim and the holder, the length of time the holder held the Claim and whether the Claim was acquired at a market  discount.  If the holder realizes a capital loss, its deduction of the loss may be subject to limitations under the Tax Code.  The holder’s aggregate tax basis for any property received under the Plan generally will equal the amount realized.  The amount realized by a holder generally will equal the sum of the cash and the fair market value of any other property received (or deemed received) by the holder under the Plan on the Effective Date and/or any subsequent distribution date, less the amount (if any) allocable to Claims for interest.

HOLDERS OF CLAIMS ARE URGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS  ABOUT THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF  PARTICIPATING IN THE ACCELERATED PAYMENT OPTION FOR HOLDERS OF CERTAIN ALLOWED CLASS 3 CLAIMS.

G.  Certain Other Tax Consequences for Holders of Allowed Claims

In general, a holder of a Claim that was not previously required to include in its taxable income any accrued but unpaid pre-Effective Date interest on the Claim may be required to take such amount into income as taxable interest.  A holder of a Claim that was previously required to include in its taxable income any accrued but unpaid pre-Effective Date interest on the Claim may be entitled to recognize a deductible loss to the extent that such interest is not satisfied under the Plan.  Each such holder is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the tax treatment of its distributions under the Plan and the deductibility of any accrued but unpaid interest for federal income tax purposes.

Because certain holders of Allowed Claims, including Disputed Claims that ultimately become Allowed Claims, may receive cash distributions subsequent to the Effective Date of the Plan, the imputed interest provisions of the Tax Code may apply to treat a portion of subsequent distributions as imputed interest.  Additionally, because holders may receive distributions with respect to an Allowed Claim in a taxable year or years following the year of the initial distribution, any loss and a portion of any gain realized by the holder may be deferred.   All holders of Allowed Claims are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible application of (or ability to elect out of) the “installment method” of reporting with respect to their claims.

A holder of a Claim constituting an installment obligation for tax purposes may be required to recognize currently any gain remaining with respect to the obligation if, pursuant to the Plan, the obligation is considered to be satisfied at other than its face value, distributed, transmitted, sold or otherwise disposed of within the meaning of Section 453B of the Tax Code.

Page 46 of 47

 
 
Bad Debt and/or Worthless Securities Deduction

A holder who, under the Plan, receives in respect of a Claim an amount less than the holder’s tax basis in the Claim may be entitled in the year of receipt (or in an earlier or later year) to a bad debt deduction in some amount under Section 166(a) of the Tax Code or a worthless securities deduction under Section 165(g) of the Tax Code.  The rules governing the character, timing and amount of bad debt or worthless securities deductions place considerable emphasis on the facts and circumstances of the holder, the obligor and the instrument with respect to which deduction is claimed.  Holders of Claims and Interests, therefore, are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to their ability to take such a deduction.

H.  Importance of Obtaining Professional Tax Assistance

The foregoing discussion is intended only as a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan, and is not a substitute for careful tax planning with a tax professional.  The above discussion is for general information purposes only and is not tax advice.  The tax consequences are in many cases uncertain and may vary depending on a holder’s individual circumstances.

HOLDERS OF CLAIMS ARE URGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS ABOUT THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN.

(B) to retain its rights (including a right to enforce any exclusivity provision of such contract, but excluding any other right under applicable nonbankruptcy law to specific performance of such contract) under such contract and under any agreement supplementary to such contract, to such intellectual property (including any embodiment of such intellectual property to the extent protected by applicable nonbankruptcy law), as such rights existed immediately before the case commenced, forC

(B) the licensee shall make all royalty payments due under such contract for the duration of such contract and for any period described in paragraph (1)(B) of this subsection for which the licensee extends such contract; and

3) If the licensee elects to retain its rights, as described in paragraph (1)(B) of this subsection, then on the written request of the licensee the trustee shallC

(A) to the extent provided in such contract, or any agreement supplementary to such contract, provide to the licensee any intellectual property (including such embodiment) held by the trustee; and

(B) not interfere with the rights of the licensee as provided in such contract, or any agreement supplementary to such contract, to such intellectual property (including such embodiment) including any right to obtain such intellectual property (or such embodiment) from another entity.

(A) to the extent provided in such contract or any agreement supplementary to such contractC

(i) perform such contract; or

(ii) provide to the licensee such intellectual property (including any embodiment of such intellectual property to the extent protected by applicable nonbankruptcy law) held by the trustee; and

Notice to Holders of Stock of

IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
DALLAS DIVISION

IN RE:
§
 
 
§
 
ESPRE SOLUTIONS, INC.
§
CASE NO.   09-30572-HDH-11
Debtor
§
Chapter 11

NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF STOCK OF ESPRE SOLUTIONS, INC.

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that:

On March 26, 2009, Espre Solutions, Inc., debtor in the above-captioned case (the “Debtor”) filed its Second Amended Plan of Reorganization (as it may be subsequently amended, the “Plan”) and a related Second Amended Disclosure Statement (as it may be subsequently amended, the “Disclosure Statement”) under Bankruptcy Section 1125.

After a hearing (the “Disclosure Statement Hearing”), on March 26, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas entered an Order Approving the Disclosure Statement (the “Disclosure Statement Order”).

The Plan sets up an auction for newly issued equity securities of the Debtor (“New Espre Stock”), with a minimum bid level of $4,000,000, coupled with a operational funding requirement of $1,750,000 to address operations for the next twelve months.  The proceeds from auction and the proceeds of all causes of action will nevertheless be distributed to holders of Claims against the Debtor, all of which are senior to holders of pre-petition equity securities of the Debtor (stock, warrants, options or other instruments which provide for the issuance of any class of stock and are not otherwise debt instruments as well) pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.

You are receiving this notice because you are believed to be a holder of Class 6 Allowed Interests, i.e., a holder of stock in Espre which stock is to be cancelled under the Plan.  The minimum bid level for the New Espre Stock is at least $2,500,000 less than the least level of debt which the Debtor believes would be entitled to satisfaction prior to holders of Class 6 Allowed Interests to receive anything on account of their claims.

If you are holding such stock as a nominee for the benefit of another party, you should forward this Notice to such other party.  The Debtors do not believe that there is any realistic scenario that will result in cash being available for distribution to holders of Class 6 Allowed Interests, but, if bidding is spirited enough, and if recoveries from causes of action which are reserved for the benefit of senior classes of creditors generate sufficient funds, after deduction of expenses, to pay for all such senior class obligations, then a pro-rata share of such recovery will be disbursed by the Litigation Agent provided for under the Plan.  Regardless, the pre-petition stock of Espre is specifically being cancelled under the Plan, as there is virtually no chance of a bid being made in excess of $6,500,000, though of course one would be welcomed.

2.        The proponents of the Plan must comply with the applicable provisions of the Code (section 1129(a)(2)).

3.        The Plan must have been proposed in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law (section 1129(a)(3)).

4.        Any payment made or to be made by the proponents, by the Debtor, or by a person issuing securities or acquiring property under the Plan, for services or for costs and expenses in or in connection with the Case, or in connection with the Plan and incident to the Case, must be disclosed to the Court and approved or be subject to the approval of the Court as reasonable (section 1129(a)(4)).

5.         The proponents must disclose the identity and affiliations of any individual proposed to serve, after Confirmation of the Plan, as a director, officer, or voting trustee of the Debtor, of an affiliate of the Debtor participating in a joint Plan with the Debtor, or of a successor to the Debtor under the Plan.  The appointment to, or continuance in, such office of such individual must be consistent with the interests of the Debtor's creditors, equity holders, and with public policy.  The proponents must also disclose the identity of any insider that will be employed or retained by the reorganized Debtor and the nature of any compensation for such insider (section 1129(a)(5)).

6.        The Plan must meet the “best interest of creditors” test which requires that each holder of a Claim or Interest of a Class of Claims or Interests that is impaired under the Plan either accept the Plan or receive or retain under the Plan on account of such Claim or Interest property of a value as of the Effective Date of the Plan, that is not less than the amount that such holder would receive or retain if the Debtor were liquidated on such date under Chapter 7 of the Code.  If the holders of a Class of Secured Claims make an election under section 1111(b) of the Code, each holder of a Claim in such electing Class must receive or retain under the Plan on account of its Claim property of a value, as of the Effective Date of the Plan, that is not less than the value of its interest in the Debtor's interest in the property that secures its Claim (section 1129(a)(7)).  To calculate what non-accepting holders would receive, if the Debtor were liquidated, under Chapter 7, the Court must determine the dollar amount that would be generated upon disposition of the Debtor's assets and reduce such amount by the costs of liquidation.  Such costs would include the fees of a Trustee (as well as those of counsel and other professionals) and all expenses of sale.

7.        Each Class of Claims or Interests must either accept the Plan or not be impaired under the Plan (section 1129(a)(8)).  Alternatively, as discussed hereafter, a Plan may be confirmed over the dissent of a Class of Claims or Interests if the “cramdown” requirements of section 1129(b) of the Code are met.

8.        Except to the extent that the holder of a particular Claim has agreed to a different treatment of such Claim, the Plan must provide that holders of Administrative Claims and Priority Claims (other than tax claims) will be paid in full in cash on the Effective Date of the Plan, and that holders of priority tax Claims will receive on account of such Claims deferred cash payments, over a period not exceeding six (6) years after the date of assessment of such tax, of a value, as of the Effective Date of the Plan, equal to the Allowed amount of such Claim (section 1129(a)(9)).

9.        At least one impaired Class must accept the Plan, determined without including the acceptance of the Plan by any insider holding a Claim of such Class (section 1129(a)(10)).

10.      The Plan must be “feasible”.  In other words, it can not be likely that confirmation of the Plan will be followed by the liquidation, or the need for further financial reorganization, of the Debtor or any successor to the Debtor under the Plan, unless such liquidation or reorganization is proposed in the Plan (section 1129(a)(11)).

11.      All fees required to be paid under the Code have been paid or the Plan provides for such payment on its Effective Date (section 1129(a)(12)).

12.      The Plan must provide for the continuation after the Effective Date of the payment of all Retiree Benefits at the level established prior to Confirmation, pursuant to the provisions of §1114 of the Code (section 1129(a)(13)).
 
The Court may confirm a Plan, even if it is not accepted by all impaired Classes, if the Plan has been accepted by at least one impaired Class of Claims and the Plan meets the “cramdown” provisions set forth in section 1129(b) of the Code.  The “cramdown” provisions require that the Court find that a Plan “does not discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” with respect to each non-accepting impaired Class.

The Court may find that the Plan is “fair and equitable” with respect to a Class of non-accepting impaired Interests only if (a) the holder of an Interest will receive or retain under the Plan property of a value as of the Plan's Effective Date equal to the greatest of any fixed liquidation preference or redemption price or the value of such Interest or (b) the holder of any Interest that is junior to such Interest will not receive or retain any property under the Plan.

The Court may find that the Plan is “fair and equitable” with respect to a Class of non-accepting impaired Unsecured Claims only if (a) each impaired unsecured Creditor receives or retains under the Plan property of a value as of the Effective Date of such Plan equal to the amount of its Allowed Claim, or (b) the holder of any Claim or Interest that is junior to the Claims of the dissenting Class will not receive or retain any property under the Plan.

The Court may find that the Plan is “fair and equitable” with respect to a Class of non-accepting Secured Claims, only if, under the Plan, (a) the holder of each Secured Claim in such Class retains such holders lien and receives deferred cash payments totalling at least the Allowed amount of such Secured Claim and having a value, as of the Effective Date of the Plan, equal to or in excess of the value of such holder's interest in the estate's interest in the collateral for the Secured Claim, (b) the collateral for such Secured Claim is sold, the lien securing such Claims attached to the proceeds, and such liens on proceeds are afforded the treatment described under clause (a) or (c) of this sentence, or (c) the holders of such Secured Claims realize the “indubitable equivalent” of their claims.
