FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND ORDER CONFIRMING

MODIFIED FOURTH AMENDED JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION OF

SYNERGY PHARMACEUTICALS INC. AND ITS DEBTOR AFFILIATE

The Court having considered the Modified Fourth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Synergy Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Its Debtor Affiliate, the debtors and debtors in possession in the above-captioned cases (collectively, the “Debtors,” “Synergy” or the “Company,” or, as applicable after the Effective Date, the “Liquidating Debtor”), dated as of April 23, 2019 and attached hereto as Exhibit A (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms and including all exhibits and supplements thereto, the “Plan”),(2) and the Third Amended Disclosure Statement for the Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Synergy Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Its Debtor Affiliate, dated as of March 13, 2019 [Docket No. 546] (the “Disclosure Statement”); and upon the Order (I) Approving the Form and Manner of Notice of the Disclosure Statement Hearing; (II) Approving Disclosure

(1) The Debtors in these chapter 11 cases, along with the last four digits of their respective tax identification numbers, are as follows: Synergy Pharmaceuticals Inc. (5269); Synergy Advanced Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (4596). The address of the Debtors’ corporate headquarters is 620 Lee Road, Suite 200, Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania 19087.

(2) Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW(3)

A. Jurisdiction; Venue; Core Proceeding. This Court has jurisdiction over the above-captioned chapter 11 cases pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334. Venue is proper before this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. Confirmation of the Plan is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(L), and this Court has jurisdiction to determine whether the Plan complies with the applicable provisions of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and should be confirmed.

B. Eligibility for Relief. The Debtors were and are Entities eligible for relief under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code.

C. Commencement and Administration of the Chapter 11 Cases. On December 12, 2018 (the “Petition Date”), the Debtors each commenced a case by filing a petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). The Chapter 11 Cases are jointly administered. The Debtors have operated their businesses and managed their properties as debtors-in-possession pursuant to section 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. No trustee has been appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases.

D. Filing of Plan and Plan Exhibits. On December 21, 2018, the Debtors filed the Joint Plan of Reorganization of Synergy Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Its Debtor Affiliate [Docket No. 111] and the Disclosure Statement for the Joint Plan of Reorganization of Synergy Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Its Debtor Affiliate [Docket No. 112]. On January 24, 2019, the Debtors filed the Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Synergy Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Its

(3) All findings of fact and conclusions of law announced by the Court at the Confirmation Hearing in relation to Confirmation are hereby incorporated into this Confirmation Order to the extent not inconsistent herewith. Each finding of fact set forth or incorporated herein, to the extent it is or may be deemed a conclusion of law, shall also constitute a conclusion of law. Each conclusion of law set forth or incorporated herein, to the extent it is or may be deemed a finding of fact, shall also constitute a finding of fact.

compensation and indemnification arrangements for such individuals are consistent with the interests of Holders of Claims and Interests and with public policy. Thus, section 1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code is satisfied.

(h) Postpetition Person Service Payments (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(8)). The Debtors are not “individuals” (as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code), as such section 1123(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable to the Plan.

(i) Impairment/Unimpairment of Classes of Claims and Interests (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(1)). Pursuant to Article III of the Plan, as set forth in section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Class 1 (Other Priority Claims) and Class 2 (Other Secured Claims) are Unimpaired and Class 3 (Term Loan Claims), Class 4 (General Unsecured Claims), Class 5 (Section 510(b) Claims), Class 6 (Intercompany Claims), Class 7 (Intercompany Interests), and Class 8 (Interests) are Impaired.

(j) Assumption and Rejection (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(2)). Article VI of the Plan addresses the assumption and rejection of Executory Contracts, and meets the requirements of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. In accordance with Section 6.02(d) of the Plan, the Debtors have filed and served, as set forth in the Affidavit of Service of Ryan Vyskocil filed by Prime Clerk on April 10, 2019 [Docket No. 656], the Notice of Assumption of Executory Contracts by the Liquidating Debtors [Docket No. 633] (the “Cure Notice”). The time given to parties-in-interest to object to the assumption or rejection of their Executory Contracts was good and sufficient and no other or further notice is required.

(k) Settlement and Retention of Claims and Causes of Action and Reservation of Rights (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(3)). Pursuant to section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and in consideration for the distributions and other

affiliations of all individuals proposed to serve on or after the Effective Date, including the Plan Administrator, the Litigation Trustee, and the Oversight Committee as set forth in Exhibit I of the Plan Supplement [Docket No. 632], Exhibit G of the Second Plan Supplement [Docket No. 687], and Exhibit H of the Third Plan Supplement [Docket No. 706] and the appointment to such offices of such Entities is consistent with the interests of Holders of Claims and Interests and with public policy.

P. No Rate Changes (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(6)). Section 1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code is satisfied because the Plan does not provide for any change in rates over which a governmental regulatory commission has jurisdiction.

Q. Best Interests Test (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(7)). The liquidation analysis attached as Exhibit B to the Disclosure Statement, the Gumbs Declaration, and other evidence proffered or adduced at the Confirmation Hearing (1) are persuasive and credible, (2) are based upon reasonable and sound assumptions, (3) provide a reasonable estimate of the liquidation values of the Debtors upon hypothetical conversion to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (4) establish that each Holder of a Claim or Interest in an Impaired Class that has not accepted the Plan will receive or retain under the Plan, on account of such Claim or Interest, property of a value, as of the Effective Date, that is not less than the amount that such Holder would receive if the Debtors were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on such date. Therefore, the Plan satisfies section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.

R. Acceptance By Certain Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(8)). Classes 1 and 2 are Unimpaired by the Plan and therefore, under section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, such Classes are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan. All Voting Classes voted to accept the Plan, without including any acceptance of the Plan by any insider. The Plan has not been

accepted by Classes 5, 6, 7, and 8, each of which is deemed to reject the Plan. Therefore, section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code has not been satisfied with respect to these Classes that are deemed to reject the Plan. Accordingly, Confirmation is sought pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to such Classes.

S. Treatment of Administrative Claims, DIP Claims, Priority Tax Claims, and Other Priority Claims (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(9)). The treatment of Administrative Claims, DIP Claims, and Other Priority Claims under the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(9)(A) and (B) of the Bankruptcy Code, and the treatment of Priority Tax Claims under the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(9)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code.

T. Acceptance By Impaired Class (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(10)). At least one Impaired Class of Claims in the Chapter 11 Cases voted to accept the Plan determined without including any acceptance of the Plan by any “insiders.” Therefore, section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code is satisfied with respect to the Plan.

U. Feasibility (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(11)). The information in the Disclosure Statement (i) is persuasive and credible, (ii) has not been controverted by other evidence, and (iii) together with the record of the Chapter 11 Cases and the evidence presented at the Confirmation Hearing, establishes that the Plan is feasible and provides adequate and appropriate means for its implementation and an orderly wind down of the Debtors’ Estates, thereby satisfying the requirements of section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code.

V. Payment of Fees (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(12)). The Debtors have paid or, pursuant to the Plan, will pay by the Effective Date, fees payable under 28 U.S.C. § 1930, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code.

W. Continuation of Retiree Benefits (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(13)). The Debtors did not provide any retiree benefits, as that term is defined in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code, at any time prior to confirmation of the Plan and therefore, section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable in these Chapter 11 Cases.

X. No Domestic Support Obligations (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(14)). The Debtors are not required by a judicial or administrative order, or by statute, to pay a domestic support obligation. Accordingly, section 1129(a)(14) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable in these Chapter 11 Cases.

Y. Debtors Are Not Individuals (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(15)). The Debtors are not individuals, and accordingly, section 1129(a)(15) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable in these Chapter 11 Cases.

Z. No Applicable Non-bankruptcy Law Regarding Transfers (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(16)). Each of Debtors is a moneyed business, commercial corporation, or trust and accordingly, section 1129(a)(16) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable in these Chapter 11 Cases.

AA. Section 1129(b); Confirmation of the Plan Over Nonacceptance of Impaired Classes. Classes 5, 6, 7, and 8 are deemed to reject the Plan (the “Rejecting Classes”). Pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan may be confirmed notwithstanding that not all Impaired Classes have voted to accept the Plan. All of the requirements of section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to such Classes, other than section 1129(a)(8), have been met. With respect to the Rejecting Classes, no Holders of Claims or Interests junior to the Holders of such Classes will receive or retain any property under the Plan on account of such Claims or Interests. Additionally, no Class of Claims or Interests is receiving property under the

Plan having a value more than the Allowed amount of such Claim or Interest. Further, the Plan does not unfairly discriminate among Classes of Claims and Interests because Holders of Claims with similar legal rights will not be receiving materially different treatment under the Plan. Specifically, classifications and recoveries under the Plan are based on the legal rights of Holders of Claims, including rights under applicable credit and debt agreements and security interests against the applicable Debtor. Further, there is no unfair discrimination between Class 5 (Section 510(b) Claims) and Class 8 (Interests) as any payments to Holders of Interests in Class 8 under the Plan as provided for by the CRG—ESH Settlement are not on account of the Interests in Class 8 but on account of settlement of the Equity Committee’s Appeals and Plan objections. Accordingly, the Plan is fair and equitable and does not discriminate unfairly, as required by section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and may be confirmed under Bankruptcy Code section 1129(b) notwithstanding such Classes’ rejection or deemed rejection of the Plan.

BB. Only One Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1129(c)). The Plan is the only plan filed in each of these Chapter 11 Cases, and accordingly, section 1129(c) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable in these Chapter 11 Cases.

CC. Principal Purpose of Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1129(d)). No party-in-interest that is a Governmental Unit has objected to the confirmation of the Plan on the grounds that the principal purpose of the Plan is the avoidance of taxes or the avoidance of the application of section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. § 77e). Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.

DD. Small Business Case (11 U.S.C. § 1129(e)). None of these Chapter 11 Cases are a “small business case,” as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code, and, accordingly, section 1129(e) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable.

JJ. Plan Conditions to Consummation. Each of the conditions precedent to the Effective Date, as set forth in Section 10.01 of the Plan, is reasonably likely to be satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

KK. Judicial Notice. The Court takes judicial notice of the docket of the Chapter 11 Cases maintained by the Clerk of the Court or its duly appointed agent, including, without limitation, all pleadings and other documents filed, all orders entered, and all evidence and arguments made, proffered, or adduced at the hearings held before the Court during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases.

LL. Burden of Proof. The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have met their burden of proving the elements of sections 1129(a) and (b) of the Bankruptcy Code by a preponderance of the evidence, which is the applicable evidentiary standard.

MM. Retention of Jurisdiction. This Court properly may retain jurisdiction over the matters set forth in Article XI of the Plan.

DECREES

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED THAT:

Confirmation of Plan

1. Confirmation. The Plan, attached hereto as Exhibit A, including all Exhibits attached thereto or included in the Plan Supplement, is approved and confirmed under section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. The terms of the Plan are incorporated by reference into and are an integral part of this Confirmation Order and the Debtors are authorized to implement their provisions and consummate the Plan without any further authorization except as expressly required by the Plan or this Confirmation Order.

2. Notice. Notice of the Plan, its exhibits, and all amendments and modifications thereto, the Disclosure Statement and the Solicitation Packages was proper and adequate.

3. Objections. For the reasons stated on the record at the Confirmation Hearing, all Objections and all reservations of rights that have not been withdrawn, waived, or settled pertaining to the Confirmation of the Plan are overruled on the merits.

4. Authorization to Implement the Plan. Upon the entry of this Confirmation Order, the Debtors, the Liquidating Debtor, the Plan Administrator, the Litigation

Trust, the Litigation Trustee, the Oversight Committee, and any third party Distribution Agent, as applicable, and their respective professionals, are authorized to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary or appropriate to implement all provisions of, and to consummate, the Plan, and to execute, enter into, or otherwise make effective all documents arising in connection therewith, prior to, on, and after the Effective Date. All such actions taken or caused to be taken shall be, and hereby are, authorized and approved by this Court, such that no further approval, act, or action need be taken under any applicable law, order, rule, or regulation, including, without limitation, (a) the incurrence of all obligations contemplated by the Plan and the making of Distributions and (b) the implementation of all settlements and compromises as set forth in or contemplated by the Plan.

5. The Debtors are authorized to make payments required to be made under the Plan at any time on and after the Effective Date.

6. Releases, Injunctions, Limitations of Liability, and Exculpation. All releases, injunctions, limitations of liability, and exculpation provisions in the Plan, including, without limitation, those in Article IX of the Plan, are fair and equitable and given for valuable

pursuant to the Plan or any transfers of property made in connection therewith (whether such transfers are made by the Debtors, Liquidating Debtor, or other Person) shall not be subject to any stamp tax or similar tax, and upon entry of this Confirmation Order, the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents shall forgo the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment. The Bankruptcy Court shall retain specific jurisdiction with respect to these matters.

12. Utility Deposits. On the Effective Date, the Debtors are authorized to release any and all funds deposited into any segregated accounts maintained for the benefit of any utility companies pursuant to any interim or final order of the Court approving the Debtors’ proposed form of adequate assurance of payment for future utility services and granting related relief.

Unexpired Leases and Executory Contracts

13. Rejection and Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. The Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease provisions of Article VI of the Plan are approved.

(a) Automatic Rejection. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease shall be deemed automatically rejected pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date, unless any such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease: (i) is listed on the Schedule of Assumed Executory Contracts contained in Exhibit C to the Plan Supplement; (ii) has been previously assumed by the Debtors by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or has been assumed by the Debtors by order of the Bankruptcy Court as of the Effective Date, which order becomes a Final Order after the Effective Date; (iii) is the subject of a motion to assume pending as of the Effective Date; (iv)

is an Insurance Contract; or (v) is otherwise assumed pursuant to the terms of the Plan. This Confirmation Order constitutes an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such rejections pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, with such rejections to be effective as of the Effective Date.

(b) Assumption of Executory Contracts. On the Effective Date, each Executory Contract listed on the Schedule of Assumed Executory Contracts in Exhibit C to the Plan Supplement shall be assumed and shall vest in and be fully enforceable by the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Liquidating Debtor or its assignee (if any) in accordance with its terms, except as modified by the provisions of the Plan or any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing or providing for its assumption or applicable federal law. Assumption of any Executory Contract pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Cure Amount, Claims, or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change-in-control or ownership-interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any assumed Executory Contract at any time prior to the effective date of assumption or assumption and assignment.

(c) Cure Procedures and Payments Related to Assumption of Executory Contracts. The Cure procedures and any payments related to the assumption of any Executory Contract shall be in accordance with Section 6.02 of the Plan and the Cure Notices served upon counterparties to such Executory Contracts.

Bar Dates and Other Deadlines

14. Administrative Claims Bar Date. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Plan and as set forth in Sections 2.02 and 2.03 of the Plan, all requests for payment of an Administrative Claim must be filed, in substantially the form of the Administrative Claim Request Form contained in Exhibit J to the Plan Supplement, with the Claims and Solicitation

injunction described in this section and the decision or acts and/or omissions of one Specified Individual shall have no impact on any other Specified Individual.

Injunction, Release, and Exculpation Provisions

29. Injunction. Effective as of the Effective Date, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, and except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or this Confirmation Order or for obligations required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or this Confirmation Order, all Entities who have held, hold, or may hold Claims, Interests or Causes of Action that (a) are subject to compromise and settlement pursuant to the terms of the Plan; (b) have been released pursuant to Section 9.04 of the Plan; (c) have been released pursuant to Section 9.05 of the Plan; (d) are subject to the exculpation pursuant to Section 9.06 of the Plan; or (e) are otherwise stayed or terminated pursuant to the terms of the Plan, are permanently enjoined and precluded, from and after the Effective Date, from taking any of the following actions against, as applicable, the Debtors, the Liquidating Debtor, the Exculpated Parties, or the Released Parties: (1) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind including on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims, Interests or Causes of Action that have been compromised or settled against the Debtors or any Entity so released or exculpated (or the property or estate of the Debtors or any Entity so released or exculpated) on account of or in connection with or with respect to any released, settled, compromised or exculpated Claims, Interests or Causes of Action; (2) enforcing, attaching, collecting, or recovering by any manner or means any judgment, award, decree, or order against the Debtors or any Entity so released or exculpated (or the property or estate of the Debtors or any Entity so released or exculpated) on account of or in connection with or with respect to any released, settled, compromised or exculpated Claims, Interests or Causes of Action; (3) creating, perfecting, or enforcing any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any kind against the

of the Plan shall release any of the Debtors’ Causes of Action against the Specified Individuals that are vested in the Litigation Trust on the Effective Date.

Notice and Other Provisions

36. Notice of Confirmation Order and Occurrence of Effective Date. The Plan Administrator shall file with this Court a notice of the occurrence of the Effective Date within a reasonable time after the conditions in Section 10.01 of the Plan have been satisfied or waived pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall serve notice of entry of this Confirmation Order and occurrence of the Effective Date pursuant to Bankruptcy Rules 2002(f)(7), 2002(k), and 3020(c), on (a) known Holders of Claims and Interests, (b) parties that requested notice in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 2002, and (c) all other parties included in the Debtors’ creditor and notice party matrix, by causing a notice of this Confirmation Order and the occurrence of the Effective Date in substantially the form of the notice annexed hereto as Exhibit B (the “Notice of Effective Date”), which form is hereby approved, to be delivered to such parties by first class mail, postage prepaid. The Notice of Effective Date shall also be published in the national and international editions of The New York Times. Notice need not be given or served under the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, or this Confirmation Order to any Entity to whom the Debtors mailed a notice of the Bar Date or Confirmation Hearing, but received such notice returned marked “undeliverable as addressed,” “moved—left no forwarding address,” “forwarding order expired,” or similar reason, unless the Debtors have been informed in writing by such Person of that Person’s new address. The notice described herein is adequate and appropriate under the particular circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases, and no other or further notice is necessary.

37. Post-Effective Date Notice Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002. After the Effective Date, to continue to receive notice of documents pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002,

an admission, acknowledgement, offer, or undertaking of any sort by the Debtors or any other Entity; or (d) be construed as a finding of fact or conclusion of law with respect thereto.

41. Dissolution of Statutory Committees. On the Effective Date, any statutory committee appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases, including the Creditors’ Committee and the Equity Committee, shall dissolve, and the members thereof shall be released from all rights and duties from or relating to the Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with Section 12.04 of the Plan, provided, however, that the Creditors’ Committee and Equity Committee will stay in existence solely for the limited purpose of filing and prosecuting final fee applications.

42. Exhibits. Each reference to a document, agreement or summary description that is in the form attached as an Exhibit to the Plan in this Confirmation Order or in the Plan shall be deemed to be a reference to such document, agreement or summary description in substantially the form of the latest version of such document, agreement or summary description filed with the Court (whether filed as an attachment to the Plan or filed separately).

43. Plan and Confirmation Order Mutually Dependent. The provisions of this Confirmation Order and the provisions of the Plan are hereby deemed nonseverable and mutually dependent.

44. Incorporation. The failure to specifically include any particular provision of the Plan in this Confirmation Order will not diminish the effectiveness of such provision, it being the intent of this Court that the Plan be by this Confirmation Order confirmed in its entirety and be incorporated herein by reference.

45. Confirmation Order Supersedes. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or this Confirmation Order, it is hereby ordered that this Confirmation Order shall

supersede any orders of this Court issued prior to the Confirmation Date that may be inconsistent with this Confirmation Order.

46. Governmental Approvals Not Required. This Confirmation Order shall constitute all approvals and consents required, if any, by the laws, rules, or regulations of any state or any other governmental authority with respect to the implementation or consummation of the Plan and any documents, instruments, or agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereto, and any other acts referred to in or contemplated by the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, and any documents, instruments, or agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereto.

47. Conflicts Between Confirmation Order and Plan. The provisions of the Plan and of this Confirmation Order shall be construed in a manner consistent with each other so as to effect the purposes of each. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the provisions of the Plan and the Sale Order conflict with respect to the Acceptable Sale, the Sale Order shall govern, and further, if there is determined to be any inconsistency between any Plan provision and any provision of this Confirmation Order that cannot be so reconciled, then, solely to the extent of such inconsistency, the provisions of this Confirmation Order shall control.

48. Retention of Jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date, this Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction over all matters arising out of, and related to, the Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan, the Plan Administrator Agreement, and the Litigation Trust Agreement (without prejudice to the rights, if any, of any party in interest to seek to withdraw the bankruptcy reference pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(d) and related law with respect to any issue or proceeding subject to mandatory or discretionary withdrawal) to the fullest extent permitted by law, including, among other things, jurisdiction over the matters set forth in Article XI of the Plan, which provisions are incorporated herein by reference.

(a) The Plan, though proposed jointly, constitutes a separate plan for each of the Debtors for voting purposes and, except as set forth in Section 5.01 of the Plan, does not constitute a substantive consolidation of the Debtors’ Estates. Therefore, all Claims against and Interests in a particular Debtor are placed in the Classes set forth below with respect to such Debtor. Classes that are not applicable as to a particular Debtor shall be eliminated as set forth more fully in Section 4.03 of the Plan.

A Claim or Interest is placed in a particular Class for all purposes, including voting, Confirmation, and distribution under the Plan and under sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that a Claim or Interest is placed in a particular Class for the purpose of voting on the Plan and, to the extent applicable, receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan only to the extent that such Claim or Interest is an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest in that Class and such Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest has not been satisfied, released, or otherwise settled prior to the Effective Date.

(b) Claims and Interests are divided into the numbered Classes set forth below:

CLASS	CLAIM OR INTEREST	STATUS	VOTING RIGHTS

ARTICLE V

MEANS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN

Section 5.01 Substantive Consolidation. This Plan contemplates and is predicated upon the deemed substantive consolidation of the Estate and Chapter 11 Case of each Debtor with the Estate and Chapter 11 Case of each other Debtor for distribution purposes only. On the Effective Date, each Claim filed or to be filed against any Debtor shall be deemed filed only against Synergy Pharmaceuticals and shall be deemed a single Claim against and a single obligation of Synergy Pharmaceuticals for distribution purposes only and the claims register shall be updated accordingly. This limited substantive consolidation effected pursuant to this Section 5.01 of the Plan shall not otherwise affect the rights of any Holder of any Claim, or affect the obligations of any Debtor with respect to such Claim.

Section 5.02 Merger and Dissolution of Debtors.

Immediately following the occurrence of the Effective Date, (a) the respective boards of directors of the Debtors shall be terminated and the members of the boards of directors of the Debtors shall be deemed to have resigned and (b) the Debtors shall continue to exist as the Liquidating Debtors after the Effective Date in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and pursuant to their respective certificates of incorporation, by-laws, articles of formation, operating agreements, and other organizational documents in effect prior to the Effective Date, except to the extent such organizational documents are amended under the Plan, for the limited purposes of liquidating all of the assets of the Estates and making distributions in accordance with the Plan.

On the Effective Date, and without further order of the Bankruptcy Court, Synergy Advanced shall be deemed merged with and into Synergy Pharmaceuticals, without the necessity of any other or further actions to be taken by or on behalf of the Debtors or payments to be made in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Debtors or the Plan Administrator, on behalf of the Liquidating Debtors, may execute and file documents and take all other actions as they

deem appropriate relating to the foregoing corporate actions under the laws of the State of Delaware and, in such event, all applicable regulatory or governmental agencies shall take all steps necessary to allow and effect the prompt merger of the Debtors as provided herein, without the payment of any fee, tax or charge and without the need for the filing of reports or certificates.

Moreover, on and after the first day following the Effective Date, Synergy Pharmaceuticals and Synergy Advanced (i) shall be deemed to have withdrawn their business operations from any state in which they were previously conducting, or are registered or licensed to conduct, their business operations, and shall not be required to file any document, pay any sum or take any other action in order to effectuate such withdrawal, and (ii) shall not be liable in any manner to any taxing or other authority for franchise, business, license or similar taxes accruing on or after the Effective Date.

As soon as practicable after the conclusion of all litigation relating to the Debtors and/or the Debtors’ directors and officers, the Plan Administrator shall at the expense of the Debtors’ Estates (i) provide for the retention and storage of the books, records and files that shall have been delivered to or created by the Plan Administrator until such time as all such books, records and files are no longer required to be retained under applicable law, and file a certificate informing the Bankruptcy Court of the location at which such books, records and files are being stored; provided that any tax records shall be turned over to the Purchaser in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement no later than the issuance of the Final Decree in the Chapter 11 Cases; (ii) file a certificate stating that the assets of the Debtors’ Estates have been exhausted and final distributions of Cash have been made under the Plan; (iii) file the necessary paperwork in the state of Delaware to effectuate the dissolution of the Liquidating Debtors in accordance with the laws of such jurisdiction; and (iv) resign as the sole officer and manager, as applicable, of the Liquidating Debtors. Upon the filing of the certificate described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, Synergy Pharmaceuticals and Synergy Advanced shall be deemed dissolved for all purposes without the necessity for any other or further actions to be taken by or on behalf of the Liquidating Debtors or payments to be made in connection therewith other than the filing of a motion for final decree.

Section 5.03 Litigation Trust

On the Effective Date, a litigation trust will be established for the benefit of Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims, Allowed Section 510(b) Claims and Allowed Interests in Synergy Pharmaceuticals, as applicable, pursuant to documentation, including the Litigation Trust Agreement, approved by the Liquidating Debtors, the Litigation Trustee, and the Oversight Committee, for the primary purpose of (1) receiving Causes of Action and Avoidance Actions vested in the Litigation Trust, and distributing the proceeds of such Causes of Action and Avoidance Actions pursuant to the Plan and (2) administering, reconciling and resolving Claims ((A) other than (i) Professional Claims and (ii) Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims and Other Priority Claims that are not subject to the Administrative Claims Protocol set forth in Section 5.11(b) of the Plan and (B) with respect to Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims and Other Priority Claims that are subject to the Administrative Claims Protocol set forth in Section 5.11(b) of the Plan, subject to such protocol), with no objective to continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business except to the extent reasonably necessary to and consistent with, the liquidating purpose of the trust (any such trust, the “Litigation Trust”). On the

Effective Date, the Litigation Trust Cash Contribution will be transferred by the Debtors or the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Liquidating Debtors to the Litigation Trust; provided that $50,000 of the Litigation Trust Cash Contribution shall be escrowed with the Litigation Trustee to be used solely for the benefit of the Equity Committee designees on the Oversight Committee to investigate and object to any settlement of Claims proposed by the Litigation Trustee. Holders of Allowed Class 3 Term Loan Claims shall not receive any interest in, and shall not be entitled to any distributions from Causes of Action or Avoidance Actions transferred to the Litigation Trust. The Litigation Trust will be controlled by the Oversight Committee and administered by the Litigation Trustee. The Debtors, the Liquidating Debtors and the Plan Administrator shall have no direct or indirect control, influence or authority over the Litigation Trust, the Litigation Trustee or the Oversight Committee or any of their respective decisions. The Litigation Trust shall be a legally separate and distinct Entity from the Debtors and/or the Liquidating Debtors, and the Litigation Trustee shall be a separate and distinct Entity from the Plan Administrator. In no event shall the Litigation Trust be deemed a successor of either the Debtors or the Liquidating Debtors. The post-Effective Date structure and governance of the Liquidating Debtors and the Litigation Trust is set forth on Exhibit B to the Plan.

On the Effective Date, all Avoidance Actions and Causes of Action belonging to the Debtors that are neither (x) acquired by the Purchaser or otherwise released pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement nor (y) released pursuant to this Plan or the Final DIP Order, shall be vested in the Litigation Trust. For the avoidance of doubt, all derivative Causes of Action that have been, or may be, brought on behalf of the Debtors, including any pending or future derivative Causes of Action against the Specified Individuals, will be vested in the Litigation Trust on the Effective Date. The Litigation Trustee shall have the authority to determine, for each pending derivative action on behalf of the Debtors, whether to dismiss such action or to be deemed the plaintiff in such matter with respect to the pending derivative action on behalf of the Debtors. Any recovery from Causes of Action or Avoidance Actions that vest in the Litigation Trust on the Effective Date (1) shall become available for Pro Rata distribution (x) first, to Holders of Allowed Class 4 General Unsecured Claims until such Claims are paid in full in cash and (y) second, ratably to Holders of Allowed Class 5 Section 510(b) Claims until such Claims are paid in full and Holders of Allowed Class 8 Interests in Synergy Pharmaceuticals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Oversight Committee and the Litigation Trustee shall collectively have the exclusive control over all aspects of the Causes of Action that vest in the Litigation Trust, including the investigation, prosecution and disposition of same, in accordance with the terms of the Litigation Trust Agreement, and the Liquidating Debtors and the Plan Administrator shall have no rights, powers or duties with respect to any aspect of any of the Causes of Action that vest in the Litigation Trust.

It is intended that the Litigation Trust qualify as a “liquidating trust” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(d). In general, a liquidating trust is not a separate taxable entity but rather is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a “grantor” trust (i.e., a pass-through entity). The IRS, in Revenue Procedure 94-45, 1994-2 C.B. 684, set forth the general criteria for obtaining an IRS ruling as to the grantor trust status of a liquidating trust under a chapter 11 plan. The Litigation Trust will be structured with the intention of complying with such general criteria. Pursuant to the Plan, and in conformity with Revenue Procedure 94-45, all parties (including the Litigation Trustee and the holders of beneficial interests in the Litigation Trust) would be required to treat for U.S. federal income tax purposes the Litigation

Trust as a grantor trust of which the Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims, Allowed Section 510(b) Claims and Allowed Interests in Synergy Pharmaceuticals are the owners and grantors. The Litigation Trustee is hereby appointed in such instance pursuant to section 1123(b)(3)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code to handle all of the Litigation Trust’s tax matters, including without limitation, the filing of all tax returns, and the handling of tax audits and proceedings, of the Litigation Trust. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Litigation Trustee, after consultation with the Oversight Committee, may make an election under Treasury Regulations Section 1.468B-9(c)(2)(ii) to treat the Litigation Trust (or any portion thereof) as a disputed ownership fund. The Litigation Trustee shall be responsible for filing information on behalf of the Litigation Trust as grantor trust pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.671-4(a) or as a disputed ownership fund.

Section 5.04 General Settlement of Claims and Interests. Pursuant to section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the classification, distributions, releases, and other benefits provided under the Plan, on the Effective Date, the provisions of the Plan shall constitute a good-faith compromise and settlement of all Claims, Interests or Causes of Action that (a) are subject to compromise and settlement pursuant to the terms of the Plan; (b) have been released pursuant to Section 9.04 of the Plan; (c) have been released pursuant to Section 9.05 of the Plan; (d) are subject to the exculpation pursuant to Section 9.06 of the Plan; or (e) are otherwise stayed or terminated pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

Section 5.05 Plan Funding. Distributions under this Plan and the Plan Administrator’s and the Litigation Trustee’s post-Effective Date operations will be funded from the proceeds of the sale of substantially all of the Debtors’ assets to Purchaser, as contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement and approved by the Sale Order and Cash existing in the Estates as of the Effective Date, and as otherwise set forth in the Litigation Trust Agreement and the Plan Administrator Agreement.

Section 5.06 Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws. The certificate and articles of incorporation and by-laws of each Debtor shall be amended as necessary to satisfy the provisions of the Plan and the Bankruptcy Code and shall include, among other things, a provision (a) prohibiting the issuance of non-voting equity securities under section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) limiting the activities of the Liquidating Debtors to matters authorized under the Plan.

Section 5.07 Cancellation of Old SP Securities and Agreements. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, on and after the Effective Date, all notes, instruments, certificates, agreements, indentures, mortgages, security documents, and other documents evidencing Claims or Interests, including Term Loan Claims, Senior Notes Claims, and Interests in Synergy Pharmaceuticals, shall be deemed canceled and surrendered without any need for further action or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any Holder or other person and the obligations of the Debtors or the Liquidating Debtors, as applicable, thereunder or in any way related thereto shall be deemed satisfied in full, and the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee and the Term Loan Agent shall be released from all duties thereunder; provided that notwithstanding Confirmation or consummation of the Plan, any such indenture or agreement that governs the rights of the Holder of a Claim shall continue in effect solely for purposes of: (1) allowing

Holders to receive distributions under the Plan; (2) allowing the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee and the Term Loan Agent to enforce their rights, claims, and interests vis-à-vis any parties other than the Debtors or the Liquidating Debtors; (3) allowing the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee and the Term Loan Agent to make the distributions in accordance with the Plan (if any), as applicable; (4) preserving any rights of the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee and the Term Loan Agent to payment of fees, expenses, and indemnification obligations as against any money or property distributable to the Holders under the relevant indenture or the relevant credit agreement, including any rights to priority of payment and/or to exercise charging liens; (5) allowing the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee and the Term Loan Agent to enforce any obligations owed to each of them under the Plan; (6) allowing the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee and the Term Loan Agent to exercise rights and obligations relating to the interests of the Holders under the relevant indentures and credit agreements; (7) allowing the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee and the Term Loan Agent to appear in the Chapter 11 Cases or in any proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court, including, but not limited, to enforce the respective obligations owed to such parties under the Plan; and (8) permitting the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee and the Term Loan Agent to perform any functions that are necessary to effectuate the foregoing; provided, further, that except as provided herein, the preceding proviso shall not affect the settlement and release of Claims or Interests pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the Confirmation Order, or the Plan, as applicable, or result in any expense or liability to the Debtors or the Liquidating Debtors, as applicable.

Section 5.08 Compliance with the Asset Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, nothing herein shall eliminate any post-closing obligations of the Debtors or the Purchaser under the Asset Purchase Agreement.

Section 5.09 The Plan Administrator.

(a) Appointment of the Plan Administrator

From and after the Effective Date, an Entity to be designated by the Debtors, and acceptable to the Creditors’ Committee and the Equity Committee, shall serve as the Plan Administrator pursuant to the Plan Administrator Agreement and the Plan, until the resignation or discharge and the appointment of a successor Plan Administrator in accordance with the Plan Administrator Agreement and the Plan. The Debtors shall file a notice providing the information set forth in sections 1129(a)(4) and (5) of the Bankruptcy Code on a date that is not less than ten days prior to the hearing to consider confirmation of the Plan designating the Entity who the Debtors have selected as Plan Administrator. The appointment of the Plan Administrator shall be approved in the Confirmation Order, and such appointment shall be effective as of the Effective Date. The Plan Administrator shall have and perform all of the duties, responsibilities, rights and obligations set forth in the Plan and the Plan Administrator Agreement. The Oversight Committee shall oversee, and have the right to replace for good cause or resignation, the Plan Administrator.

(b) The Plan Administrator Agreement

Prior to or on the Effective Date, the Debtors shall execute a Plan Administrator Agreement in substantially the same form as set forth in the Plan Supplement. Any nonmaterial

modifications to the Plan Administrator Agreement made by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date are hereby ratified. The Plan Administrator Agreement will contain provisions permitting the amendment or modification of the Plan Administrator Agreement as necessary to implement the provisions of the Plan.

The Liquidating Debtors shall retain and have all the rights, powers and duties necessary to carry out their responsibilities under the Plan, which for the avoidance of doubt, shall exclude any aspect of the Causes of Action or their investigation, prosecution or disposition that vest in the Litigation Trust. The Plan Administrator shall seek to preserve and protect all applicable privileges of the Liquidating Debtors, as applicable, including any attorney-client privilege or work-product privilege attaching to any documents or communications (whether written or oral) as set forth in more detail in Section 5.16 of the Plan. Such rights, powers and duties, which shall be exercisable by the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Liquidating Debtors and the Estates pursuant to the Plan and the Plan Administrator Agreement, shall include, among others, (1) making distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Interests as provided for in the Plan, (2) administering, reconciling and resolving Administrative Claims, Professional Claims, Priority Tax Claims and Other Priority Claims, subject to the Administrative Claims Protocol set forth in Section 5.11(b) of the Plan, (3) filing tax returns and paying taxes, (4) administering the Debtors’ 401(k) benefit plans, (5) defending the Debtors in the Securities Litigation and any other pending or future securities litigation against the Debtors and (6) dissolving the Liquidating Debtors. All material decisions of the Plan Administrator, including but not limited to the settlement of any claim against the Debtor in the Securities Litigation to the extent such claim proceeds against the Debtor in the Securities Litigation and any Section 510(b) Claim in the Bankruptcy Court based on the allegations in the Securities Litigation, shall be subject to the approval of the Oversight Committee.

(d) Compensation of the Plan Administrator

The Plan Administrator shall be compensated from the Wind-Down Reserve pursuant to the terms of the Plan Administrator Agreement. Any professionals retained by the Plan Administrator shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for services rendered and reimbursement of expenses incurred from the Wind-Down Reserve. The payment of the fees and expenses of the Plan Administrator and its retained professionals shall be made in the ordinary course of business and shall not be subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court; provided, however, that any disputes related to such fees and expenses shall be brought before the Bankruptcy Court.

(e) Indemnification

The Liquidating Debtors shall indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Plan Administrator (in its capacity as such and as officer and director of the Liquidating Debtors), (ii) such individuals that may serve as officers and directors of the Liquidating Debtors, if any, and (iii) the Plan Administrator Professionals (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against and with respect to any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees arising out of or due to their actions or omissions, or consequences

of such actions or omissions, other than acts or omissions resulting from such Indemnified Party’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, with respect to the Liquidating Debtors or the implementation or administration of the Plan or the Plan Administrator Agreement. To the extent an Indemnified Party asserts a claim for indemnification as provided above, the legal fees and related costs incurred by counsel to the Plan Administrator in monitoring and participating in the defense of such claims giving rise to the asserted right of indemnification shall be advanced to such Indemnified Party (and such Indemnified Party undertakes to repay such amounts if it ultimately shall be determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified therefore) out of the Wind-Down Reserve or any insurance purchased using the Wind-Down Reserve. The indemnification provisions of the Plan Administrator Agreement shall remain available to and be binding upon any former Plan Administrator or the estate of any decedent of the Plan Administrator and shall survive the termination of the Plan Administrator Agreement.

(f) Exculpation

The organizational documents of the Liquidating Debtors shall provide for the exculpation of the Plan Administrator to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

(g) Insurance

The Plan Administrator shall be authorized to obtain and pay for out of the Wind-Down Reserve all reasonably necessary insurance coverage for itself, its agents, representatives, employees or independent contractors, and the Liquidating Debtors, including, but not limited to, coverage with respect to (i) any property that is or may in the future become the property of the Liquidating Debtors or their Estates and (ii) the liabilities, duties and obligations of the Plan Administrator and its agents, representatives, employees or independent contractors under the Plan Administrator Agreement (in the form of an errors and omissions policy or otherwise), the latter of which insurance coverage may remain in effect for a reasonable period of time as determined by the Plan Administrator after the termination of the Plan Administrator Agreement.

(h) Revesting of Assets

Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Plan, on the Effective Date, the property of each Debtor’s Estate, if any, shall revest in the applicable Liquidating Debtor and be distributed according to this Plan.

Section 5.10 Distributions to Holders of General Unsecured Claims.

(a) Initial Distributions

On the Initial Distribution Date, the Plan Administrator shall make, or shall make adequate reserves in the Disputed Claims Reserve for, the distributions required to be made under the Plan to Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims, if any. The Distribution Agent shall not make any distributions to the Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims unless the Distribution Agent retains and reserves in the Disputed Claims Reserve such amounts as are required under Section 8.05(c) of the Plan.

(b) Interim Distributions

The Distribution Agent shall make interim distributions of Cash in accordance with this Plan (i) to Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims at least once each three-month period, unless the aggregate amount of such distributions, except for the last anticipated distributions, is $50.00 or less, and (ii) from the Disputed Claims Reserve as Disputed General Unsecured Claims become Allowed General Unsecured Claims.

The Liquidating Debtors shall be dissolved and their affairs wound up and the Plan Administrator shall make the final distributions on the date when, in the reasonable judgment of the Plan Administrator, substantially all of the assets of the Liquidating Debtors have been liquidated and there are no substantial potential sources of additional Cash for distribution. The date on which the Plan Administrator determines that all obligations under the Plan and the Plan Administrator Agreement have been satisfied is referred to as the “Plan Termination Date.” On the Plan Termination Date, the Plan Administrator shall, to the extent not already done, request that the Bankruptcy Court enter an order closing the Chapter 11 Cases.

Upon dissolution of the Liquidating Debtors in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall transfer any remaining Cash in the Wind-Down Reserve to the Litigation Trust.

Section 5.11 Accounts and Reserves.

(a) Professional Claims Reserve

On or before the Effective Date, the Debtors shall create and fund the Professional Claims Reserve in Cash in the amount of the Professional Claim Estimate. Subject to entry of the CRG-ESH Settlement Order by April 10, 2019, the Professional Claims Estimate of Gibson Dunn and Houlihan Lokey shall not exceed $2.5 million in the aggregate, less any fees and expenses previously paid to such Professionals. For the avoidance of doubt, the Professional Claims Estimate shall not include any Professional Claims of Stevens & Lee, which shall be paid solely from the CRG-ESH Settlement Fund. Subject to Section 5.11(e), the Cash so transferred shall not be used for any purpose other than to pay Allowed Professional Claims, and no payments on account of such Claims shall be made from any source other than the Professional Claims Reserve. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Plan Administrator (i) shall segregate and shall not commingle the Cash held in the Professional Claims Reserve and (ii) shall pay each Professional Claim of a Professional employed by the Debtors (subject to the $2.5 million cap for Gibson Dunn and Houlihan Lokey effective upon entry of the CRG-ESH Settlement Order), on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the date such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, upon entry of a Final Order allowing such Claim. After all Professional Claims are Allowed or Disallowed and the Allowed amounts of such Claims are paid by the Plan Administrator, any remaining Cash in the Professional Claims Reserve shall (1) first, be transferred to the Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve until such time as all Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims and Other Priority Claims are Allowed or Disallowed and the Allowed amounts of such Claims are paid in full by the Plan Administrator

and (2) second, become Excess Sale Proceeds available for Pro Rata distribution in accordance with Section 3.02 of the Plan. Only Professionals employed in the Chapter 11 Cases by the Debtors, the Creditors’ Committee and the Equity Committee, and whose retention and compensation has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court, shall be entitled to payment from the Professional Claims Reserve.

The Professionals employed by the Debtors shall be entitled to reasonable compensation and reimbursement of actual, necessary expenses for post-Effective Date activities authorized by an order of the Bankruptcy Court, this Plan, the Oversight Committee, the Plan Administrator or the Litigation Trustee, including the preparation, filing and prosecution (subject to applicable law) of such Professional’s final fee applications (if applicable), upon the submission of redacted invoices to the Plan Administrator for payment from the Professional Claims Reserve. Any time or expenses incurred in the preparation, filing and prosecution of final fee applications shall be disclosed by each Professional in its final fee application and shall be subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

(b) Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve

On or before the Effective Date, the Debtors shall create and fund the Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve in Cash in the amount of the Administrative and Priority Claims Estimate. The Creditors’ Committee will have consent rights over the aggregate amount of the Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve. Subject to entry of the CRG-ESH Settlement Order by April 10, 2019, the Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve shall include the CRG Discovery Expense Reserve, subject to the rights of the Litigation Trustee to challenge such expenses and to seek for cause shown Bankruptcy Court approval of a reduction of the CRG Discovery Expense Reserve. On or before ten Business Days prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors will provide the Creditors’ Committee with a schedule of estimated Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims and Other Priority Claims to be funded from the Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve (the “Administrative and Priority Claims Schedule”). On or before five Business Days prior to the Effective Date, the Creditors’ Committee will provide the Debtors with a schedule which lists the individual Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims and Other Priority Claims set forth in the Administrative and Priority Claims Schedule over which the Litigation Trustee shall reserve consent rights (collectively, the “Reserved Claims”). With respect to any Reserved Claim and any other Administrative Claim, Priority Tax Claim and Other Priority Claim that was not included in the Administrative and Priority Claims Schedule, such claim shall only be Allowed (i) upon agreement of the Plan Administrator and the Litigation Trust or (ii) as determined by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court (the “Administrative Claims Protocol”). The Cash in the Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve shall not be used for any purpose other than to pay Allowed Administrative Claims (except Professional Claims, which shall be paid from the Professional Claims Reserve), Priority Tax Claims and Other Priority Claims, and, subject to Section 5.11(e), no payments on account of the foregoing Claims shall be made from any source other than the Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve. The Plan Administrator (i) shall segregate and shall not commingle the Cash held in the Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve and (ii) shall pay each Administrative Claim (except Professional Claims, which shall be paid from the Professional Claims Reserve), Priority Tax Claim and Other Priority Claim, on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the date such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. After all Administrative

Claims (including Professional Claims), Priority Tax Claims and Other Priority Claims are Allowed or Disallowed and the Allowed amounts of such Claims are paid by the Plan Administrator, any remaining Cash in the Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve shall become Excess Sale Proceeds available for Pro Rata distribution in accordance with Section 3.02 of the Plan; provided that unless CRG, in its sole discretion, consents to the earlier release of any unused portion of the CRG Discovery Expense Reserve, the unused portion of the CRG Discovery Expense Reserve remaining as of the later of (i) the second year anniversary of the Effective Date and (ii) if any discovery requests remain outstanding to CRG from the Litigation Trust, the parties in the Securities Litigation and/or parties in any other litigation asserting claims under applicable securities laws against current or former directors or officers of the Debtors, the first business day on which CRG has completed its response to all such discovery requests (including any depositions) and has been paid for all expenses reimbursable from the Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve, shall be released from the Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve and distributed in accordance with Section 3.02 of the Plan.

On or before the Initial Distribution Date, the Plan Administrator shall create the Disputed Claims Reserve. On each Distribution Date, the Distribution Agent, as applicable, shall fund the Disputed Claims Reserve in Cash in the amount of the Disputed Claims Estimate. Subject to Section 5.11(e), no payments made on account of Disputed General Unsecured Claims that become Allowed General Unsecured Claims after the Effective Date shall be made from any source other than the Disputed Claims Reserve. After all Disputed Claims are Allowed or Disallowed and the Allowed amounts of such Claims are paid their respective Pro Rata distribution by the Distribution Agent, any remaining Cash in the Disputed Claims Reserve shall be available for Pro Rata distribution to Holders of Allowed Claims in Class 4.

(d) Wind-Down Reserve

On or before the Effective Date, the Debtors shall create and fund the Wind-Down Reserve in Cash in the amount of the Wind-Down Budget. Subject to Section 5.11(e), no payments to the Plan Administrator and Plan Administrator Professionals shall be made from any source other than the Wind-Down Reserve. The Plan Administrator shall segregate and shall not commingle the Cash held in the Wind-Down Reserve. Upon the dissolution of the Liquidating Debtors, any remaining Cash in the Wind-Down Reserve shall be transferred to the Litigation Trust.

(e) Other Reserves and Modification to Reserves

Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Plan Administrator Agreement and the Wind-Down Budget, the Plan Administrator may establish and administer any other necessary reserves that may be required under the Plan or the Plan Administrator Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, the Plan Administrator may, in consultation with the Oversight Committee, make transfers of money between the reserves established hereunder to satisfy Claims and other obligations in accordance with the Plan and the Wind-Down Budget.

Section 5.12 Exemption from Certain Transfer Taxes. Pursuant to section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfers of property pursuant to the Plan shall not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, stamp act, real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, or other similar tax or governmental assessment to the fullest extent contemplated by section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and upon entry of the Confirmation Order, the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents shall be directed to forgo the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and to accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment.

Section 5.13 Preservation of Causes of Action. In accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors and their Estates shall retain all of the Debtors’ Causes of Action other than any Causes of Action that are Acquired Assets under the Asset Purchase Agreement or released pursuant to the terms of this Plan or an order of the Bankruptcy Court, including the Final DIP Order, and such retained Causes of Action of the Debtors shall be vested in the Litigation Trust on the Effective Date. The Litigation Trustee, on behalf of the Litigation Trust, may enforce all rights to commence and pursue any and all Causes of Action that are vested in the Litigation Trust, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, including, without limitation, any actions or categories of actions specifically enumerated in a list of retained Causes of Action contained in the Plan Supplement, and such Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date or the dissolution of the Debtors. The Litigation Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine whether to bring, settle, release, compromise, or enforce such Causes of Action vested in the Litigation Trust (or decline to do any of the foregoing), and shall not be required to seek further approval of the Bankruptcy Court for such action. The Litigation Trustee may pursue Causes of Action vested in the Litigation Trust in accordance with the best interests of the beneficiaries of the Litigation Trust. No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in this Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure Statement to any Cause of Action against it as any indication that the Litigation Trustee will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against it. The Litigation Trustee expressly reserves all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action of the Debtors against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan. Unless any Causes of Action of the Debtors against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in this Plan or an order of the Bankruptcy Court, or acquired by the Purchaser or otherwise released pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Litigation Trustee expressly reserves all of the Debtors’ Causes of Action for later adjudication, and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise), or laches, shall apply to such Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of Confirmation or consummation of the Plan.

Section 5.14 Oversight Committee

As of the Effective Date, a post-confirmation committee to oversee the administration of the Litigation Trust and the Plan Administrator (the “Oversight Committee”) shall be formed. The Oversight Committee shall be comprised of five (5) members, three (3) of which shall be designated by the Creditors’ Committee and two (2) of which shall be designated by the Equity Committee, subject in each case, to consultation with the Debtors. The members of the Oversight

Committee shall be identified in the Plan Supplement. Upon the death or resignation of a member of the Oversight Committee, the remaining designee(s) of the Creditors’ Committee or Equity Committee, as applicable, shall fill the applicable vacancy on the Oversight Committee. After the Effective Date, the Litigation Trustee shall consult with the Oversight Committee regarding Causes of Action and Avoidance Actions vested in the Litigation Trust for which the Litigation Trustee proposes a settlement in the amount of $25,000 and above in accordance with the terms of the Litigation Trust Agreement. The Oversight Committee shall have all of the rights and benefits accorded to it in the Litigation Trust Agreement, including, but not limited to, the rights to: employ and compensate professionals on behalf of the Oversight Committee, receive compensation, indemnification, and replace the Litigation Trustee, all as further set forth in the Litigation Trust Agreement.

The compensation of the members of the Oversight Committee shall be determined by the Debtors, the Creditors’ Committee and the Equity Committee and provided in the Plan Supplement. Upon the closing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Oversight Committee shall be dissolved and its members shall have no further duties, responsibilities and obligations in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases or the Plan and its implementation.

Section 5.15 Insured Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent any Insurance Contract(s) provides coverage with respect to any General Unsecured Claim or Section 510(b) Claim, the Holder of such Claim shall (a) be paid in accordance with the terms of any applicable Insurance Contract(s), and (b) if applicable, receive the treatment provided for in this Plan for Allowed General Unsecured Claims or Allowed Section 510(b) Claims to the extent the applicable Insurance Contract(s) does not provide coverage with respect to any portion of the Claim.

Section 5.16 Preservation of Privilege and Defenses.

The Confirmation Order shall provide that, on the Effective Date, all of the Debtors’ privileges and work product, including but not limited to any attorney-client privilege or work-product privilege attaching to any documents or communications (whether written or oral), related to Avoidance Actions and Causes of Action that vest in the Litigation Trust, shall be vested in the Litigation Trust, which — except as expressly set forth below — will have exclusive authority to waive or not waive the Debtors’ privileges in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, the privileges transferred to the Litigation Trust do not include any privileges (including but not limited to attorney-client privilege or work-product privilege) of the current and former individual directors and officers of the Debtors, including but not limited to any such privilege attaching to any documents or communications (whether written or oral) between the directors and officers of the Debtors and Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP (“Davis Polk”). Each individual director or officer shall retain all privileges and work product, including but not limited to any attorney-client privilege or work-product privilege attaching to any personal documents or communications (whether written or oral) between such director or officer, on the one hand, and Davis Polk, on the other hand. The Confirmation Order shall further provide that nothing in the Plan (including this Section 5.16) or the Confirmation Order is intended to, does, or may be construed to expand the privileges or other protections against disclosure, if any, belonging to the Debtors as of the Effective Date, it being understood that the purpose of this Section 5.16 and any corresponding provisions in the Confirmation Order

is to ensure that any privileges and other protections against disclosure existing as of the Effective Date are preserved and are not waived by the creation and vesting of certain of the Debtors’ assets in the Litigation Trust.

Although the Liquidating Debtors shall retain the right to maintain and/or access privileged documents and communications between the Debtors and Davis Polk relating to any matter where Davis Polk was representing both the Debtors and individual directors or officers, the Liquidating Debtors and the Plan Administrator shall not provide any such documents or communications to the Litigation Trust. For the avoidance of doubt, any joint representation of the Debtors and Debtors’ officers and directors (including, but not limited to, representation in connection with the Securities Action) shall not provide a basis for the Litigation Trust to seek to compel the production of any documents or communications to the extent containing or reflecting communications between Davis Polk on the one hand and the Debtors and/or the Debtors’ directors and officers on the other. Nor shall any joint communications from Davis Polk to both the Debtors and the individual directors and officers be deemed to provide a basis for the Litigation Trust to seek to compel the production of any documents or communications containing or reflecting communications between Davis Polk on the one hand and the Debtors and/or the Debtors’ directors and officers on the other. Nor shall any production, inadvertent or otherwise, by the Liquidating Debtors or the Plan Administrator of any documents or communications (whether written or oral) between the directors and officers of the Debtors and Davis Polk (if any) to the Litigation Trust, the Litigation Trustee, the Oversight Committee, or any party or person associated with the Litigation Trust, the Litigation Trustee or the Oversight Committee, constitute a waiver of such privileged information, which shall remain privileged to the same extent, if any, such information was privileged on the Effective Date.

The Plan Administrator will seek to preserve and protect all applicable privileges and work product vested in the Liquidating Debtors (which for the avoidance of doubt excludes the privileges and work product vested in the Litigation Trust). The Plan Administrator’s receipt of such information shall not waive any privileges and such privileges are preserved. The Litigation Trust, the Liquidating Debtors and the individual directors and officers of the Debtors shall remain in control of all of their respective privileges (subject to the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs), and the Litigation Trust, the Liquidating Debtors, and the individual directors and officers of the Debtors, each as applicable, retain the right to waive their own privileges prospectively. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any party to waive any privilege in connection with a joint representation without the affirmative consent of all parties holding such privilege.

Section 5.17 Books and Records. On the Effective Date, all books and records of the Debtors that have not been transferred to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement or the Sale Order shall be transferred to the Liquidating Debtors. Until the entry of a final and non-appealable order of judgment or settlement with respect to all defendants now or hereafter named in the Securities Litigation, the Debtors, the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Liquidating Debtors, the Litigation Trust, the Litigation Trustee and any other transferee or custodian of the Debtors’ books, records, documents, files, electronic data (in whatever format, including native format, and from every source and location, including but not limited to all hard drives, servers, and cloud-based storage located in the United States and overseas), or any tangible object or other item of evidence relevant or potentially relevant to

the Securities Litigation, wherever stored (collectively, the “Potentially Relevant Books and Records”), shall preserve and maintain the Potentially Relevant Books and Records as if they were the subject of a continuing request for production of documents from an opposing party under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and shall not destroy, abandon, transfer, or otherwise render unavailable such Potentially Relevant Books and Records. For the avoidance of doubt, the Plan Injunction shall not impact in any manner any rights of the lead plaintiffs and the proposed class in the Securities Litigation to seek and obtain Potentially Relevant Books and Records through discovery in the Securities Litigation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Litigation Trust will have access to the Debtors’ books and records for the purpose of investigating and pursuing the Avoidance Actions and Causes of Action that vest in the Litigation Trust; provided that such access by the Litigation Trust shall be subject to the treatment of the Debtors’ privileges set forth in Section 5.16.

Section 5.18 CRG-ESH Settlement.

The provisions of the Plan relating to the CRG-ESH Settlement constitute a good faith compromise and settlement among the Debtors, the Prepetition Secured Parties, the Equity Committee and the Creditors’ Committee of all Claims and controversies among such parties relating to the Appeals. Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the CRG-ESH Settlement under section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, as well as a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that the CRG-ESH Settlement is fair, equitable, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates.

Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date of the Plan, each Holder of Allowed Class 8 Interests shall receive its Pro Rata Share of up to $1.375 million of Cash from the CRG-ESH Settlement Fund. The proceeds of the CRG-ESH Settlement Fund shall be distributed to Holders of Allowed Class 8 Interests on the first Distribution Date following the entry of a Final Order for each final fee application for each Professional for the Equity Committee. Any amount of Excess Sale Proceeds allocable to the CRG Lenders in excess of $13.375 million shall remain solely the property of the CRG Lenders and shall be distributed to the CRG Lenders pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Plan.

ARTICLE VI

UNEXPIRED LEASES AND EXECUTORY CONTRACTS

Section 6.01 Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases to Be Rejected. Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease shall be deemed rejected in accordance with, and subject to, sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date, unless any such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease: (i) is listed on the Schedule of Assumed Executory Contracts contained in the Plan Supplement; (ii) has been previously assumed by the Debtors by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or has been assumed by the Debtors by order of the Bankruptcy Court as of the Effective Date, which order becomes a Final Order after the Effective Date; (iii) is the subject of a motion to assume pending as of the Effective Date; (iv) is an Insurance Contract; or (v) is otherwise assumed pursuant to the terms herein. The Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such rejections pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the

Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date. Counterparties to Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that are deemed rejected as of the Effective Date shall have the right to assert any Claim on account of the rejection of such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases subject to compliance with the requirements herein.

(a) Preexisting Obligations to Debtors. Rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall not constitute a termination of preexisting obligations owed to the Debtors under such contracts or leases. In particular, notwithstanding any non-bankruptcy law to the contrary, the Debtors, the Liquidating Debtors, and the Plan Administrator expressly reserve and do not waive any right to receive, or any continuing obligation of a counterparty to provide, warranties, or continued maintenance obligations on goods previously purchased by the contracting Debtors from counterparties to rejected or repudiated Executory Contracts.

(b) Rejection Damages Claim Procedures. Unless otherwise provided by a Bankruptcy Court order, any proofs of Claim asserting Claims arising from the rejection of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to the Plan or otherwise must be filed with the Claims and Solicitation Agent no later than 30 days after the later of the Effective Date, the effective date of rejection, or the date notice of such rejection is transmitted by the Debtors or the Plan Administrator, as applicable, to the counterparty to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. Any proofs of Claim arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that are not timely filed shall be Disallowed automatically and forever barred, estopped, and enjoined from assertion and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors or the Liquidating Debtors, without the need for any objection by the Litigation Trustee or any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and any Claim arising out of the rejection of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed fully satisfied and released, notwithstanding anything in the Schedules or a proof of Claim to the contrary. All Allowed Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases shall be classified as General Unsecured Claims.

(c) Reservation of Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors may amend their decision with respect to the rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.

Section 6.02 Executory Contracts to Be Assumed. Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, each Executory Contract that is listed on the Schedule of Assumed Executory Contracts contained in the Plan Supplement, shall be deemed assumed, in accordance with, and subject to, sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date.

The Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such assumptions pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date. To the extent any provision in any Executory Contract assumed pursuant to the Plan (including any “change of control” provision) restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, the Liquidating Debtors’ assumption of such Executory Contract, then such provision shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan will not entitle the non-Debtor party thereto to terminate such Executory Contract or

to exercise any other default-related rights with respect thereto. Each Executory Contract assumed pursuant to this Article VI of the Plan will revest in and be fully enforceable by the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Liquidating Debtors, except as modified by the provisions of the Plan, any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption, or applicable law.

(a) Modifications, Etc. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, each Executory Contract that is assumed shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contract, and all rights related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements have been previously rejected or repudiated or are rejected or repudiated pursuant to this Plan.

Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract, or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.

(b) Proofs of Claim Based on Assumed Contracts or Leases. Any and all proofs of Claim based on Executory Contracts that have been assumed or assumed and assigned in the Chapter 11 Cases, including hereunder, except proofs of Claim asserting Cure Amounts, pursuant to the order approving such assumption or assumption and assignment, including the Sale Order and the Confirmation Order, shall be deemed Disallowed and expunged from the Claims register as of the Effective Date without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

(c) Cure Proceedings and Payments. With respect to each of the Executory Contracts assumed hereunder, the Debtors or the Plan Administrator shall designate a proposed Cure Amount, and the assumption of such Executory Contract shall be conditioned upon the disposition of all issues with respect to the Cure Amount. Except as otherwise set forth on the Schedule of Assumed Executory Contracts, the Cure Amount with respect to each of the Executory Contracts assumed hereunder is designated by the Debtors as zero dollars, subject to the determination of a different Cure Amount pursuant to the procedures set forth herein (including Section 6.02(e) below) and in the Cure Notices. Except with respect to Executory Contracts for which the Cure Amount is zero dollars, or for which the Cure Amount is in dispute, the Cure Amount shall be satisfied by the Liquidating Debtors, if any, by payment of the Cure Amount in Cash within 30 days following the occurrence of the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, or on such other terms as may be ordered by the Bankruptcy Court or agreed upon by the parties to the applicable Executory Contract without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

Any provisions or terms of the Executory Contracts to be assumed pursuant to the Plan that are, or may be, alleged to be in default, shall be satisfied solely by payment of the Cure Amount, or by an agreed-upon waiver of the Cure Amount. If there is a dispute regarding such Cure Amount, the ability of the Liquidating Debtors to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any other matter pertaining to assumption, then payment of the Cure Amount shall occur as soon as reasonably

practicable after entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute, approving such assumption, or as may be agreed upon by the Debtors or the Plan Administrator, as applicable, and the counterparty to the Executory Contract; provided, however, that the Debtors or the Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall have the right either to reject or nullify the assumption of any Executory Contract after entry of a Final Order determining the Cure Amount or any request for adequate assurance of future performance required to assume such Executory Contract.

Assumption of any Executory Contract pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Cure Amount, Claims, or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any assumed Executory Contract at any time prior to the effective date of assumption, as applicable.

(d) Cure Notice. No later than seven days before the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors shall serve upon counterparties to such Executory Contracts a Cure Notice that will (i) notify the counterparty of the proposed assumption of the applicable Executory Contract, (ii) list the applicable Cure Amount, if any, set forth on the Schedule of Assumed Executory Contracts, (iii) describe the procedures for filing objections to the proposed assumption of the applicable Executory Contract, (iv) describe the procedures for filing objections to the proposed Cure Amount of the applicable Executory Contract, and (v) explain the process by which related disputes will be resolved by the Bankruptcy Court. If no objection is timely received, (A) the non-Debtor party to the assumed Executory Contract shall be deemed to have consented to the assumption of the applicable Executory Contract and shall be forever barred from asserting any objection with regard to such assumption, and (B) the proposed Cure Amount shall be controlling, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any applicable Executory Contract or other document as of the date of the filing of the Plan, and the non-Debtor party to an applicable Executory Contract shall be deemed to have consented to the Cure Amount and shall be forever barred from asserting, collecting, or seeking to collect any additional amounts relating thereto against the Debtors or the Liquidating Debtors, or the property of any of them.

(e) Cure Objections. If a proper and timely objection to the Cure Notice or proposed Cure Amount was filed by the Cure Objection Deadline, the Cure Amount shall be equal to (i) the amount agreed to between the Debtors or Litigation Trustee, as applicable, and the applicable counterparty or (ii) to the extent the Debtors or Plan Administrator and counterparty do not reach an agreement regarding any Cure Amount or any other matter related to assumption, the Bankruptcy Court shall determine the Allowed amount of such Cure Amount and any related issues. Objections, if any, to the proposed assumption and/or Cure Amount must be in writing, filed with the Bankruptcy Court, and served in hard-copy form on the parties identified in the Cure Notice so that they are actually received by the Cure Objection Deadline.

(f) Hearing with Respect to Objections. If an objection to the proposed assumption of an Executory Contract and/or to the proposed Cure Amount thereof is timely filed and received in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.02(e) of the Plan, and the parties do not reach a consensual resolution of such objection, a hearing with respect to such objection shall be held at such time scheduled by the Bankruptcy Court or the Debtors or the Litigation Trustee, as applicable. Objections to the proposed Cure Amount or assumption of an Executory Contract will not be treated as objections to Confirmation of the Plan.

(g) Reservation of Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors may amend their decision with respect to the assumption of any Executory Contract and provide a new notice amending the information provided in the applicable notice. In the case of an Executory Contract designated for assumption that is the subject of a Cure Amount objection that has not been resolved prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors or the Litigation Trustee, as applicable, may designate such Executory Contract for rejection at any time prior to the payment of the Cure Amount, as set forth in Section 6.02(c) of the Plan.

Section 6.03 General Reservation of Rights. Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any contract or lease on the Schedule of Assumed Executory Contracts, nor anything contained in the Plan, shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that the Debtors, the Liquidating Debtors, the Plan Administrator, or any of their Affiliates, has any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption or rejection, the Debtors or the Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall have 45 days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.

Section 6.04 Insurance Contracts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the Plan Supplement, the Plan Administrator Agreement, the Litigation Trust Agreement, the Confirmation Order, any bar date order or notice or claim objection order, any other document related to any of the foregoing or any other order of the Bankruptcy Court (including, without limitation, any other provision that purports to be preemptory or supervening, grants an injunction or release, or requires a party to opt in to any releases, or any provision that sets a reserve): (a) all Insurance Contracts shall continue in effect after the Effective Date pursuant to their respective terms and conditions and shall be treated as if assumed by the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Liquidating Debtors, and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, the entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute both approval of such assumption pursuant to sections 105 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that such assumption is in the best interests of the Estates; (b) all rights and obligations of the Debtors under any Insurance Contracts shall automatically become vested in the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Liquidating Debtors, unaltered and without necessity for further approvals or orders and nothing shall alter the legal, equitable or contractual rights, obligations and defenses of the Debtors and the Insurers under the Insurance Contracts or modify the coverage provided thereunder or the terms and conditions thereof except that on and after the Effective Date, the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Liquidating Debtors, shall become and remain liable for all of the Debtors’ obligations under the Insurance Contracts regardless of whether such obligations arise before or after the Effective Date and without the need or requirement for any Insurer to file a proof of Claim or Administrative Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors or the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Liquidating Debtors, as applicable, shall retain the right, if any, to challenge any amounts owed under the Insurance Contracts in accordance with their terms; and (c) the automatic stay of Bankruptcy Code section 362(a) and the injunctions set forth in Article IX of the Plan, if and to the extent applicable, shall be deemed lifted without further order of this Court, solely to permit: (I) claimants with valid workers’ compensation claims or direct action claims against an Insurer under applicable non-bankruptcy law to proceed with their claims; (II) the Insurers to administer, handle, defend, settle, and/or pay, in the ordinary course of business and without further order of this Bankruptcy

Court, (A) workers’ compensation claims, (B) claims where a claimant asserts a direct claim against any Insurer under applicable non-bankruptcy law, or an order has been entered by the Bankruptcy Court granting a claimant relief from the automatic stay to proceed with its claim, and (C) all costs in relation to each of the foregoing; and (III) the Insurers to cancel any Insurance Contracts, and take other actions relating thereto, to the extent permissible under applicable non-bankruptcy law, and in accordance with the terms of the Insurance Contracts.

The Debtors or the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Liquidating Debtors, as the case may be, shall maintain D&O Policies providing coverage for those insureds currently covered by such policies for the remaining term of such policies and shall maintain runoff policies or tail coverage under policies in effect as of the Effective Date for a period of six years after the Effective Date, to the fullest extent permitted by such provisions, in each case insuring such parties in respect of any claims, demands, suits, Causes of Action, or proceedings against such insureds in at least the scope and amount as currently maintained by the Debtors; provided, however, that nothing in the Plan or the Confirmation Order alters the terms and conditions of the D&O Policies. Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to impair any Entity’s claim, if any, to proceeds of the D&O Policies or the priority of payment on such claim, if any, under the D&O Policies.

ARTICLE VII

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED CLAIMS AND INTERESTS

Section 7.01 Determination of Claims and Interests. After the Effective Date, the Plan Administrator and/or Litigation Trustee, as applicable, shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses the Debtors had with respect to any Claim or Interest immediately prior to the Effective Date, including the Causes of Action retained pursuant to Section 5.13 of the Plan, except with respect to any Claim or Interest deemed Allowed under the Plan.

Except as expressly provided in the Plan or in any order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases prior to the Effective Date, including the Confirmation Order, no Claim or Interest shall become an Allowed Claim or Interest unless and until such Claim or Interest is deemed Allowed or the Bankruptcy Court has entered a Final Order, including the Confirmation Order, in the Chapter 11 Cases allowing such Claim or Interest. All settled Claims approved prior to the Effective Date pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 or otherwise, shall be binding on all parties. For the avoidance of doubt, any Claim determined and liquidated pursuant to (a) an order of the Bankruptcy Court or (b) applicable non-bankruptcy law (which determination has not been stayed, reversed, or amended and as to which determination or any revision, modification, or amendment thereof as to which the time to appeal or seek review or rehearing has expired and no appeal or petition for review or rehearing was filed or, if filed, remains pending) shall be deemed an Allowed Claim in such liquidated amount and satisfied in accordance with this Plan.

Nothing contained in this Section 7.01 shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any claim, right, or Cause of Action that the Debtors or the Liquidating Debtors may have against

any Entity in connection with or arising out of any Claim, including any rights under section 157(b) of title 28 of the United States Code.

Section 7.02 Claims Administration Responsibility. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, after the Effective Date, (1) the Litigation Trustee shall retain responsibility for administering, disputing, objecting to, compromising, or otherwise resolving all Claims ((A) other than (i) Professional Claims and (ii) Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims and Other Priority Claims that are not subject to the Administrative Claims Protocol set forth in Section 5.11(b) of the Plan and (B) with respect to Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims and Other Priority Claims that are subject to the Administrative Claims Protocol set forth in Section 5.11(b) of the Plan, subject to such protocol) against and Interests in the Debtors and (2) the Plan Administrator shall retain responsibility for administering, disputing, objecting to, compromising or otherwise resolving all Administrative Claims, Professional Claims, Priority Tax Claims and Other Priority Claims, subject to the Administrative Claims Protocol set forth in Section 5.11(b) of the Plan, including, in each case, (i) filing, withdrawing, or litigating to judgment objections to Claims or Interests, (ii) settling or compromising any Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court, and (iii) administering and adjusting the Claims register to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

Section 7.03 Objections to Claims. Unless otherwise extended by the Bankruptcy Court, any objections to Claims (other than Administrative Claims) shall be served and filed on or before the Claims Objection Deadline (or such later date as may be established by the Bankruptcy Court upon request of the Litigation Trustee without further notice to parties-in-interest). Notwithstanding any authority to the contrary, an objection to a Claim shall be deemed properly served on the Holder of the Claim if the Debtors or the Litigation Trustee effect service in any of the following manners: (a) in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4, as modified and made applicable by Bankruptcy Rule 7004; (b) to the extent counsel for a Holder of a Claim or Interest is unknown, by first class mail, postage prepaid, on the signatory on the proof of Claim or other representative identified on the proof of Claim or any attachment thereto (or at the last known addresses of such Holder if no proof of Claim is filed or if the Debtors have been notified in writing of a change of address); or (c) by first class mail, postage prepaid, on any counsel that has appeared on behalf of the Holder of the Claim in the Chapter 11 Cases and has not withdrawn such appearance.

Section 7.04 Disallowance of Claims. Except as otherwise agreed, any and all proofs of Claim filed after the applicable deadline for filing such proofs of Claim shall be deemed Disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without any further notice to, or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and Holders of such Claims shall not receive any distributions on account of such Claims, unless any such late proof of Claim is deemed timely filed by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court.

Nothing herein shall in any way alter, impair, or abridge the legal effect of the Bar Date Order, or the rights of the Debtors, the Litigation Trustee, or other parties-in-interest to object to Claims on the grounds that they are time barred or otherwise subject to disallowance or modification. Nothing in this Plan shall preclude amendments to timely filed proofs of Claim to the extent permitted by applicable law.

All Claims of any Entity from which property is sought by the Debtors under section 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that the Debtors or the Plan Administrator allege is a transferee of a transfer that is avoidable under section 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be Disallowed if (a) the Entity, on the one hand, and the Debtors or the Plan Administrator, on the other hand, agree or the Bankruptcy Court has determined by Final Order that such Entity or transferee is liable to turn over any property or monies under any of the aforementioned sections of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) such Entity or transferee has failed to turn over such property by the date set forth in such agreement or Final Order.

Section 7.05 Estimation of Claims. Before the Effective Date, the Debtors, and after the Effective Date, the Litigation Trustee, may (but are not required to) at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate a Disputed Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any such Disputed Claim, including during the litigation of any objection to any Disputed Claim or during the pendency of any appeal relating to such objection. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim, that estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim for all purposes under the Plan, without prejudice to the Holder of such Claim’s right to request that estimation should be for the purpose of determining the Allowed amount of such Claim, and the Litigation Trustee may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such Claim. All of the objection, estimation, settlement, and resolution procedures set forth in the Plan are cumulative and not necessarily exclusive of one another. All estimation procedures set forth in the Plan shall be applied in accordance with section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code. Disputed Claims may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn, or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Plan or the Bankruptcy Court.

Section 7.06 No Interest on Disputed Claims. Unless otherwise specifically provided for in this Plan or as otherwise required by section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on Claims or Interests, and no Holder of a Claim or Interest shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim or Interest. Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing, unless otherwise specifically provided for in this Plan or as otherwise required by section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Disputed Claim in respect of the period from the Effective Date to the date a final distribution is made, when and if such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

Section 7.07 Amendments to Claims. On or after the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided herein, a Claim may not be filed or amended without the authorization of the Bankruptcy Court or the Liquidating Debtors, and, to the extent such authorization is not received, any such new or amended Claim filed shall be deemed Disallowed in full and expunged without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

ARTICLE VIII

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 8.01 Time of Distribution. Except as otherwise provided for herein or ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, distributions under this Plan shall be made on the later of (a) the Initial Distribution Date or (b) on the first Periodic Distribution Date occurring after the later of, (i) 30 days after the date when a Claim is Allowed or (ii) 30 days after the date when a Claim becomes payable pursuant to any agreement between the Debtors, the Liquidating Debtors, the Plan Administrator, the Litigation Trust or the Litigation Trustee, as applicable, and the Holder of such Claim; provided, however, that the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, make one-time distributions on a date that is not a Periodic Distribution Date.

Section 8.02 Currency. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or Bankruptcy Court order, as of the Effective Date, any Claim asserted in currency other than U.S. dollars shall be automatically deemed converted to the equivalent U.S. dollar value using the exchange rate as of the Effective Date at 4:00 p.m. prevailing Eastern Time, mid-range spot rate of exchange for the applicable currency as published in the next The Wall Street Journal following the Effective Date.

Section 8.03 Distribution Agent. The Distribution Agent shall make all distributions required under this Plan, subject to the terms and provisions of this Plan. If the Distribution Agent is an independent third party designated to serve in such capacity, such Distribution Agent shall receive, without further Court approval, reasonable compensation from the Wind-Down Reserve for distribution services rendered pursuant to the Plan and reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. No Distribution Agent shall be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties. The Distribution Agent shall be authorized and directed to rely upon the Debtors’ books and records and, as applicable, the Plan Administrator’s or the Litigation Trustee’s representatives and professionals in determining Allowed Claims not entitled to distributions under the Plan in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Plan. The Distribution Agent shall be empowered to (a) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments, and other documents necessary to perform its duties under the Plan; (b) make all distributions contemplated hereby; (c) employ professionals to represent it with respect to its responsibilities; and (d) exercise such other powers as may be vested in the Distribution Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to the Plan, or as deemed by the Distribution Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions hereof.

Section 8.04 Claims Administered by Servicers. In the case of Holders of Claims governed by an agreement and administered by a Servicer, the respective Servicer shall be deemed to be the Holder of such Claims for purposes of distributions to be made hereunder. The Distribution Agent shall make all distributions on account of such Claims to the Servicers or as directed by the Servicers, in the Servicers’ sole discretion. Each Servicer shall, at its option, hold or direct such distributions for the beneficial Holders of such Allowed Claims, as applicable; provided, however, that the Servicer shall retain all rights under its respective agreement in connection with delivery of distributions to the beneficial Holders of such Allowed Claims, including rights on account of its charging lien; provided, further, however, that the

Debtors’ and the Liquidating Debtors’ obligations to make distributions pursuant to this Plan shall be deemed satisfied upon delivery of distributions to each Servicer or the Entity or Entities designated by the Servicers. The Servicers shall not be required to give any bond, surety, or other security for the performance of their duties with respect to such distributions.

Section 8.05 Distributions on Claims Allowed After the Effective Date.

(a) No Distributions Pending Allowance. No payments or distributions shall be made with respect to all or any portion of a Disputed Claim unless and until all objections to such Disputed Claim have been settled or withdrawn or have been determined by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, and the Disputed Claim has become an Allowed Claim.

(b) Special Rules for Distributions to Holders of Disputed Claims. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan, and except as otherwise agreed by the relevant parties, no partial payments and no partial distributions shall be made with respect to a Disputed Claim until all such disputes in connection with such Disputed Claim have been resolved by settlement or Final Order. All distributions made pursuant to the Plan on account of a Disputed Claim that is later deemed an Allowed Claim by the Bankruptcy Court shall be made together with any other distributions made on account of, as well as any obligations arising from, the distributed property as if such Allowed Claim had been an Allowed Claim on the dates distributions were previously made to Holders of Allowed Claims included in the applicable Class; provided, however, that no interest shall be paid on account of such Allowed Claims unless required under applicable bankruptcy law.

(c) Disputed Claims Reserve. The Plan Administrator shall establish and administer the Disputed Claims Reserve. Each Holder of a Disputed General Unsecured Claim that becomes an Allowed General Unsecured Claim after the Effective Date shall receive the treatment set forth in Section 3.02(d)(ii) of the Plan. On each Periodic Distribution Date, all amounts in the Disputed Claims Reserve on account of a Disputed General Unsecured Claim that has become Disallowed in whole or in part (or has been Allowed in an amount less than its Provisionally Allowed amount) shall be redistributed ratably among (A) Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and (B) the Disputed Claims Reserve.

Section 8.06 Delivery of Distributions.

(a) Record Date for Distributions. On the Distribution Record Date, the Claims register shall be closed and the Distribution Agent shall be authorized and entitled to recognize only those record Holders listed on the Claims register as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. The Term Loan Agent shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of any Term Loan Claims occurring after the close of business on the Distribution Record Date and shall instead be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes under the Plan with only those Holders of record as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. Further, the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of any Senior Notes Claims occurring after the close of business on the Distribution Record Date and shall instead be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes under the Plan with only those Holders of record as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date.

(b) Cash Distributions. Distributions of Cash may be made either by check drawn on a domestic bank or wire transfer from a domestic bank, at the option of the Distribution Agent, except that Cash payments made to foreign creditors may be made in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction.

(c) Address for Distributions. Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be made by the Distribution Agent or the appropriate Servicer (i) at the addresses set forth on the proofs of Claim filed by such Holders of Claims (or at the last known addresses of such Holders of Claims if no proof of Claim is filed or if the Debtors or the Distribution Agent have been notified in writing of a change of address), (ii) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Distribution Agent after the date of any related proof of Claim, (iii) at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if no proof of Claim has been filed and the Distribution Agent has not received a written notice of a change of address, or (iv) in the case of a Holder of a Claim whose Claim is governed by an agreement and administered by a Servicer, at the addresses contained in the official records of such Servicer. The Debtors, the Liquidating Debtors, and the Distribution Agent shall not incur any liability whatsoever on account of any distributions under the Plan.

(d) Undeliverable Distributions. If any distribution to a Holder of a Claim is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such Holder of such Claim shall be made unless and until the Distribution Agent or the appropriate Servicer is notified of then-current address of such Holder of the Claim, at which time all missed distributions shall be made to such Holder of the Claim without interest on the next Periodic Distribution Date. Amounts in respect of undeliverable distributions shall be returned (1) if prior to the Dissolution Date, to the Liquidating Debtors and (2) if after the Dissolution Date, to the Litigation Trust, in each case, until such distributions are claimed.

(e) Reversion. Any distribution under the Plan that is an Unclaimed Distribution for a period of six months after such distribution shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and such Unclaimed Distribution shall revert to and vest in the Liquidating Debtors if prior to the Dissolution Date or the Litigation Trust if after the Dissolution Date free of any restrictions thereon. Upon vesting, the Claim of any Holder or successor to such Holder with respect to such property shall be cancelled and forever barred, notwithstanding federal or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws to the contrary. The provisions of the Plan regarding undeliverable distributions and Unclaimed Distributions shall apply with equal force to distributions that are issued by the Distribution Agent made pursuant to any indenture or Certificate (but only with respect to the initial distribution by the Servicer to Holders that are entitled to be recognized under the relevant indenture or Certificate and not with respect to Entities to whom those recognized Holders distribute), notwithstanding any provision in such indenture or Certificate to the contrary and notwithstanding any otherwise applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property law.

(f) De Minimis Distributions. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Distribution Agent and any Servicer shall not be required to make a distribution on account of an Allowed Claim if (i) the aggregate amount of all distributions authorized to be made on the Periodic Distribution Date in question is or has a value less than $50.00; provided, however, that the Distribution Agent shall make, or cause to be made, a distribution on a Periodic

Distribution Date of less than $50.00 if the Distribution Agent expects that such Periodic Distribution Date shall be the final Periodic Distribution Date; or (ii) the amount to be distributed to the specific Holder of the Allowed Claim on the particular Periodic Distribution Date does not both (x) constitute a final distribution to such Holder and (y) have a value of at least $50.00.

Section 8.07 Surrender of Securities or Instruments. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, each Holder of Senior Notes shall surrender its note(s) to the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee, and each Holder of Senior Notes shall be deemed to have surrendered such Holder’s security, note, debenture, or other evidence of indebtedness upon surrender of such global security by the Holder or a securities depository or custodian thereof. No distributions under the Plan shall be made for or on behalf of such Holder unless and until such note(s) is received by the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee or the loss, theft, or destruction of such note(s) is established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee, which satisfaction may require such Holder to submit (a) a lost instrument affidavit and (b) an indemnity bond holding the Debtors, the Liquidating Debtors, and the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee, harmless in respect of such note and distributions made thereof. Upon compliance with this Section 8.07 by a Holder of Senior Notes, such Holder shall, for all purposes under the Plan, be deemed to have surrendered such Claim. Any Holder that fails to surrender such Senior Note or satisfactorily explain its non-availability to the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee within one year of the Effective Date shall be deemed to have no further Claim against the Debtors, the Liquidating Debtors (or their property), or the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee in respect of such Claim and shall not participate in any distributions under the Plan. All property in respect of such forfeited distributions, including interest thereon, shall be promptly returned to the Liquidating Debtors by the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee, and any such security shall be cancelled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the record Holder of a Senior Notes Claim is a securities depository or custodian thereof, or if a Senior Notes Claim is held in book-entry or electronic form pursuant to a global security held by a securities depository or custodian thereof, then the beneficial Holder of such an Allowed Senior Notes Claim shall be deemed to have surrendered such Holder’s security, note, debenture, or other evidence of indebtedness upon surrender of such global security by the securities depository or custodian thereof.

Section 8.08 Compliance Matters. In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Distribution Agent shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Distribution Agent shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes, withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such distributions, or establishing any other mechanisms it believes are reasonable and appropriate. The Debtors and Plan Administrator reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and other spousal awards, Liens, and encumbrances.

Section 8.09 Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties. The Claims and Solicitation Agent shall reduce in full a Claim to the extent that the Holder of such Claim receives payment in full on account of such Claim from a party that is not the Distribution Agent

without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. To the extent a Holder of a Claim receives a distribution on account of such Claim and receives payment from a party that is not the Distribution Agent on account of such Claim, such Holder shall, within two weeks of receipt thereof, repay or return the distribution under the Plan to the Liquidating Debtors if prior to the Dissolution Date or the Litigation Trust if after the Dissolution Date, to the extent the Holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount of such Claim as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan.

Section 8.10 Setoffs. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in the Plan and except with respect to any Term Loan Claims or Senior Notes Claim, and any distribution on account thereof, the Liquidating Debtors, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (including section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code), applicable non-bankruptcy law, or as may be agreed to by the Holder of a Claim, may set off against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of such Allowed Claim, any Claims, rights, and Causes of Action of any nature that the Debtors or the Liquidating Debtors, as applicable, may hold against the Holder of such Allowed Claim, to the extent such Claims, rights, or Causes of Action against such Holder have not been otherwise compromised or settled on or prior to the Effective Date (whether pursuant to the Plan or otherwise); provided, however, that neither the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim pursuant to the Plan shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors or the Liquidating Debtors of any such Claims, rights, and Causes of Action that the Debtors or Liquidating Debtors may possess against such Holder. In no event shall any Holder of Claims be entitled to set off any Claim against any Claim, right, or Cause of Action of the Debtors or the Liquidating Debtors, as applicable, unless such Holder has filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court requesting the authority to perform such setoff on or before the Confirmation Date, and notwithstanding any indication in any proof of Claim or otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of setoff pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 553 or otherwise.

Section 8.11 Allocation of Plan Distributions Between Principal and Interest. To the extent that any Allowed Claim entitled to a distribution under this Plan is composed of indebtedness and accrued but unpaid interest thereon, such distribution shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be allocated for federal income tax purposes to the principal amount of the Claim first and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claim, to the portion of such Claim representing accrued but unpaid interest.

ARTICLE IX

EFFECT OF PLAN ON CLAIMS AND INTERESTS

Section 9.01 Vesting of Assets. Except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Plan, as of the Effective Date, the property of each Debtors’ Estate, if any, shall revest in the applicable Liquidating Debtor or the Litigation Trust (solely with respect to Causes of Action and Avoidance Actions transferred to the Litigation Trust), as applicable, and shall be free and clear of all Claims, Liens, charges, encumbrances, rights, and Interests.

Section 9.02 Reserved.

Section 9.03 Compromise and Settlement. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019(a), the Debtors may compromise and settle various (a) Claims or Interests and (b) Causes of Action that the Debtors have against other Entities up to the Effective Date. After the Effective Date, any such right shall pass to the Litigation Trust or the Liquidating Debtors, as applicable, as contemplated in Section 9.01 of this Plan, without the need for further approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

All Claims and all rights and claims between or among Holders of Claims relating in any manner whatsoever to distributions on account of Claims or Interests, based upon any claimed subordination rights, whether asserted or unasserted, legal or equitable, shall be deemed satisfied by the distributions under the Plan to Holders of Claims having such subordination rights, and such subordination rights shall be deemed waived, released and terminated as of the Effective Date. Except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, distributions to the various Classes of Claims hereunder shall not be subject to levy, garnishment, attachment, or like legal process by any Holder of a Claim by reason of any subordination rights or otherwise, so that each Holder of a Claim shall have and receive the benefit of the distributions in the manner set forth in the Plan

(b) Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the right of the Debtors or the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Liquidating Debtors to seek subordination of any Claim or Interest pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code is fully reserved, and the treatment afforded any Claim or Interest that becomes a subordinated Claim or Interest at any time shall be modified to reflect such subordination. Unless the Plan or the Confirmation Order otherwise provide, no distributions shall be made on account of a Claim subordinated pursuant to this Section 9.10(b) unless ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

Section 9.12 Release of Liens. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, including Section 3.02, or in any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, all mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests against any property of the Estates shall be fully released, and all of the right, title, and interest of any Holder of such mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests shall revert to the Liquidating Debtors and their successors and assigns.

Section 9.13 Reimbursement or Contribution. If the Bankruptcy Court disallows a Claim for reimbursement or contribution of an Entity pursuant to section 502(e)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, then to the extent that such Claim is contingent as of the Effective Date, such Claim shall be forever Disallowed notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless prior to the Effective Date (a) such Claim has been adjudicated as non-contingent or is a Claim described in Section 9.14 of the Plan or (b) the relevant Holder of a Claim has filed a contingent proof of Claim on account of such Claim and a Final Order has been entered determining such Claim as no longer contingent.

Section 9.14 Claims Assertion Protocol. The following protocol (the “Claims Assertion Protocol”) shall govern any claims for indemnification asserted by any Specified Individual against the Debtors or the Liquidating Debtors:

(a) Each Specified Individual participating in the protections of the Section 9.08 Injunction on Enforcement of Judgments (each, a “Participating Specified Individual”) shall be deemed to have waived all of his/her fiduciary duty indemnification claims against the Debtors.

(b) Each Participating Specified Individual shall be permitted to assert indemnification claims against the Debtors or the Liquidating Debtors related to (a) pending or threatened securities litigation claims (collectively, the “Section 510(b) Indemnity Claims”) and/or (b) unknown claims.

(c) The priority and nature of the Section 510(b) Indemnity Claims shall be pari passu with Class 5 (Section 510(b) Claims) and Class 8 (Interests in Synergy Pharmaceuticals) and junior to Class 4 (General Unsecured Claims).

(d) As of the Effective Date, a Participating Specified Individual’s indemnification claims against the Debtors shall be estimated at $0 for distribution purposes, subject to such Participating Specified Individual’s right to amend his/her proof of claim (by motion or otherwise) at a later date if such Participating Specified Individual is subject to a currently unknown claim (that has become a known claim as of such later date) or when it is reasonable to anticipate that Classes 5 and/or 8 may be entitled to a distribution under the Plan.

(i) The Litigation Trustee shall have the right to object to the allowance or priority of any such indemnity claim asserted by a Participating Specified Individual against the Liquidating Debtors, but shall not object unless and until any such Participating Specified Individual amends his/her claim.

(ii) To the extent a Participating Specified Individual asserts an indemnity claim and such claim is allowed, then such allowed claim shall be entitled to share in distributions pursuant to the Plan in accordance with the nature and priority of such allowed claim; provided however, that all indemnification claims of any Participating Specified Individual with respect to the pending or threatened securities litigation claims shall have

the same priority as Classes 5 (Section 510(b) Claims) and 8 (Interests in Synergy Pharmaceuticals).

On the Effective Date, any statutory committee appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases, including the Creditors’ Committee and the Equity Committee, shall dissolve, and members thereof shall be released from all rights and duties from or related to the Chapter 11 Cases, provided, however, that the Creditors’ Committee and the Equity Committee will stay in existence solely for the limited purpose of filing and prosecuting final fee applications.

Section 12.05 Modification and Amendment. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, the Debtors reserve the right to modify the Plan, subject to any applicable consent rights set forth herein, whether such modification is material or immaterial prior to Confirmation, and seek Confirmation consistent with the Bankruptcy Code and, as appropriate, not re-solicit votes on such modified Plan. Subject to certain restrictions and requirements set forth in section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019 (as well as those restrictions on modifications set forth in the Plan) and any consent rights as set forth herein, the Debtors expressly reserve their respective rights to revoke or withdraw, to alter, amend or modify the Plan with respect to each Debtor, one or more times, before or after

Confirmation, and, to the extent necessary, may initiate proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court to so alter, amend or modify the Plan after Confirmation, or remedy any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistencies in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement or the Confirmation Order, in such matters as may be necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of the Plan; provided that any modifications or amendments, whether before or after Confirmation, that impact the treatment of the Term Loan Claims shall require the consent of the Term Loan Agent and any such modifications or amendments that impact the treatment of the DIP Claims shall require the consent of the DIP Agent.

Section 12.06 Confirmation of Plan. The Debtors request Confirmation of the Plan under section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Impaired Class that does not accept the Plan pursuant to section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors reserve the right to amend the Plan to any extent, if any, that Confirmation pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code requires modification.

Section 12.07 Additional Documents. On or before the Effective Date, the Debtors may file with the Bankruptcy Court such agreements or other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Debtors or the Plan Administrator, as applicable, and Holders of Claims receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan and all other parties in interest shall, from time to time, prepare, execute, and deliver any agreements or documents and take any other actions as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provision and intent of the Plan.

Section 12.08 Revocation, Withdrawal, Non-Consummation

(a) Right to Revoke or Withdraw. The Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw this Plan at any time prior to the Effective Date and file subsequent chapter 11 plans.

(b) Effect of Withdrawal, Revocation, or Non-Consummation. If the Debtors revoke or withdraw this Plan prior to the Effective Date, or if the Confirmation Date or the Effective Date does not occur, then this Plan, any settlement or compromise embodied in this Plan (including the fixing or limiting to an amount certain Claims or Class of Claims or the allocation of the distributions to be made hereunder), the assumption or rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases effected by this Plan, and any document or agreement executed pursuant to this Plan shall be null and void in all respects. In such event, nothing contained herein or in the Disclosure Statement, and no acts taken in preparation for consummation of this Plan, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or release of any Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action by or against the Debtors or any other Entity, to prejudice in any manner the rights and defenses of the Debtors, the Holder of a Claim or Interest, or any Entity in any further proceedings involving the Debtors, or to constitute an admission, acknowledgement, offer, or undertaking of any sort by the Debtors or any other Entity.

Section 12.10 Term of Injunctions or Stays. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order, all injunctions or stays in effect in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to sections 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any order of the Bankruptcy Court, and existing on the Confirmation Date (excluding any injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order) shall remain in full force and effect until the Effective Date. All injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

Section 12.11 Governing Law. Unless a rule of law or procedure is supplied by federal law (including the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules) or unless otherwise specifically stated, the laws of the State of New York shall govern the construction and implementation of this Plan, any agreements, documents, and instruments executed in connection with this Plan (except as otherwise set forth in those agreements, in which case the governing law of such agreements shall control). Corporate governance matters shall be governed by the

laws of the state of incorporation, formation, or functional equivalent thereof, as applicable, of the applicable Liquidating Debtor or the Litigation Trust.

Section 12.12 Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise indicated, this Plan supersedes all previous and contemporaneous negotiations, promises, covenants, agreements, understandings, and representations on such subjects, all of which have become merged and integrated into the Plan.

Section 12.13 Severability. If, prior to Confirmation, any term or provision of this Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court shall have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, and such term or provision shall then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated by such holding, alteration, or interpretation. The Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is (a) valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms, (b) integral to the Plan and may not be deleted or modified without the consent of the Debtors, and (c) non-severable and mutually dependent.

Section 12.14 No Waiver or Estoppel. Upon the Effective Date, each Holder of a Claim or Interest shall be deemed to have waived any right to assert that its Claim or Interest should be Allowed in a certain amount, in a certain priority, be secured, or not be subordinated by virtue of an agreement made with the Debtors and/or their counsel or any other party, if such agreement was not disclosed in this Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or papers filed with the Bankruptcy Court.

Section 12.15 Conflicts. In the event that the provisions of the Disclosure Statement and the provisions of the Plan conflict, the terms of this Plan shall govern. In the event the provisions of this Plan and the Sale Order conflict with respect to the Acceptable Sale, the Sale Order shall govern. In the event that the provisions of this Plan and the provisions of the Confirmation Order conflict, the terms of the Confirmation Order shall govern.
