________________
1 The "Debtors" comprise Senior Management Services of Treemont, Inc., Senior Management Services of El Paso Coronado, Inc., Senior Management Services of Gainesville, Inc., Senior Management Services of Palestine, Inc., Senior Management Services of Tyler, Inc., Senior Management Services of El Paso Sunset, Inc., Senior Management Services of Katy, Inc., Senior Management Services of Humble, Inc., Senior Management Services of Doctors at Dallas, Inc., Senior Management Services of Estates at Fort Worth, Inc., Senior Management Services of Normandy at San Antonio, Inc., Senior Management Services of Heritage Oaks at Ballinger, Inc., Senior Management Services of Crane, Inc., Senior Management Services of Kerrville, Inc., Senior Management Services of America Houston, Inc., Senior Management Services of America North Texas, Inc., Senior Management Services of America IV, Inc., Senior Management Services of America III, Inc., Senior Management Services of America II, Inc., Senior Management Services of America, Inc., Serenity Management Services, Inc., Senior Management Services of Shreveport, LLC, Cora Properties of Crane, LP, and Cora Properties of Kerrville, LP.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
The Debtors and Debtors in possession have Filed2 and requested to be confirmed theFirst Amended, Modified Chapter 11 Plan Proposed by the Debtors, dated August 1, 2007 (the "Modified Plan"), which reflects certain modifications to the First Amended Chapter 11 Plan Proposed by the Debtors, dated June 17, 2007 (the "First Amended Plan"), pursuant to § 1127,3 as well as those modifications announced on the record at the August 1, 2007 Confirmation Hearing (collectively, the "Modifications"). The Modifications are technical and/or do not adversely change the treatment of the Claim of any Creditor or the Interest of any equity security holder that has not accepted and agreed to the Modifications. Accordingly, the Modified Plan is deemed accepted by all Creditors and Interest holders who have previously accepted the First Amended Plan pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3019. Given that the changes to the First Amended Plan are technical and/or do not materially and adversely affect the treatment of Claims or Interests, the First Amended Disclosure Statement in Support of Chapter 11 Plan Proposed by the Debtors, dated June 17, 2007 (the "Disclosure Statement"), contains adequate information for such Modifications pursuant to § 1125, and the Debtors need not resolicit acceptances of the Modifications by holders of such Claims or Interests.
 
On June 18, 2007, the Debtors Filed the Disclosure Statement. The Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the Disclosure Statement and finding that it contained adequate information under § 1125 (the "Disclosure Statement Order") on June 22, 2007. The Disclosure Statement Order provided for copies of (i) the Plan, (ii) the Disclosure Statement, (iii) a ballot,(iv) the court-approved solicitation letter from the Creditors Committee letter and (v) a copy of
 
________________
 
2 Each term that is capitalized herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Modified Plan and, if such term is not defined in the Modified Plan, the Disclosure Statement.
3 Unless otherwise stated, section references herein are to 11 U.S.C. § 101-1532 (2005) (the "Bankruptcy Code").
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
the order approving the Disclosure Statement (collectively, the "Solicitation Materials") to besent out by June 26, 2007; (ii) voting on the First Amended Plan by return of ballots to the Debtors by July 25, 2007; (iii) objections to Confirmation of the First Amended Plan to be Filed by July 25, 2007; and (iv) the hearing on Confirmation of the First Amended Plan (the "Confirmation Hearing") to commence on August 1, 2007.
 
The Bankruptcy Court commenced the Confirmation Hearing on August 1, 2007. Timely objections to Confirmation of the First Amended Plan were Filed by July 25, 2007. Having reviewed, among other things, (i) the First Amended Plan, (ii) the Modified Plan, (iii) the Disclosure Statement, (iv) the Plan Documents, (v) all objections to Confirmation of the Modified Plan not previously withdrawn, (vi) the Certification of Michael S. Haynes with Respect to the Tabulation of Votes in Classes 3, 4 and 5 on the First Amended Chapter 11 Plan Proposed by Debtors, dated July 31, 2007 (the "Ballot Certification") Filed by the Debtors certifying voting results and the mailing of the Solicitation Materials, (vii) the Operations Transfer Agreement between certain of the SMSA II Debtors and the Purchaser, and (viii) the Schedule of Assumed Contracts, as supplemented; and having considered the evidence and record of the Confirmation Hearing, including the testimony of the Chief Restructuring Officer and the arguments of counsel; and after due deliberation thereon, the Bankruptcy Court hereby makes the following findings of fact and conclusions of law.3
 
 
___________________________
 
3The following paragraphs shall constitute this Court's findings of fact and conclusions of law made at the Confirmation Hearing pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 7052, which is made applicable to this proceeding by Bankruptcy Rule 9014. To the extent any finding of fact shall be determined to be a conclusion of law, it shall be so deemed, and vice versa.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
 
1. Jurisdiction. This Court has jurisdiction over the Debtors and the subject matter of the Confirmation Hearing pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157(b) and 1334(a). The Confirmation Hearing is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(1) and (2)(L). Venue of the Chapter 11 Cases in this district is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. 
 
2. Solicitation. In accordance with the Disclosure Statement Order and as evidenced by the Ballot Certification, the Debtors caused (i) the Solicitation Materials and (ii) notice of the Confirmation Hearing and the deadlines for voting on, and Filing objections to, the First Amended Plan to be distributed to all known holders of Claims against and Interests in the Debtors. In addition, the Solicitation Materials were distributed timely to former patients and residents who - though likely not Creditors or Interest holders - had through prior inadvertence not received earlier notice of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. The Debtors also provided notice by publication in several newspapers of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors' intent to sell substantially all their assets and the date of the Confirmation Hearing and deadline for objections to the Modified Plan. Such actions constitute due, sufficient and adequate notice to all known holders of Claims and Interests of the Modified Plan, the Confirmation Hearing and the deadlines for submitting votes on, and Filing objections to the Confirmation of, the Modified Plan and no other or further notice is required. 
 
3. Modifications to Plan. The Modifications to the First Amended Plan, including those (i) set forth in the Debtors' Notice of Modifications to First Amended Chapter 11 Plan Proposed by the Debtors and (ii) presented on the record at the Confirmation Hearing, comply in all respects with § 1127(a) and, in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3019, do not adversely
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
change the treatment of the Claim of any Creditor or the Interest of any equity security holder who has not accepted in writing such amendments, in that no Creditor who accepted the First Amended Plan, if it knew of the Modifications, would be likely to reconsider its acceptance of the First Amended Plan. The notice of such Modifications was due and adequate under the circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases and no further notice is required. The Modifications do not require additional disclosure under §1125 or Bankruptcy Rule 9019 or the resolicitation of acceptances or rejections under §1126, nor do they require that the holders of Claims or Interests be afforded an opportunity to change previously cast acceptances or rejections of the Modified Plan.
 
4. Separate Plans. The Modified Plan constitutes a separate plan Filed by and on behalf of each Debtor pursuant to §1122(a) and Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a). 
 
5. Procedures for Voting. As evidenced by the Ballot Certification, the procedures by which ballots for voting on the Modified Plan were received and tabulated were fair, properly conducted and in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the local rules of this Court and the Disclosure Statement Order. 
 
6. Satisfaction of Confirmation Requirements. As to each Debtor, §1129(a)(1) is satisfied because the Modified Plan complies with all the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, the provisions of §§1122 and 1123.
 
(a)      Proper Classification of Claims and Interests. As to each Debtor, §§1122(a) and 1123(a)(1) are satisfied because the Modified Plan properly designates separate Classes of Claims and Interests, each of which contains only Claims or Interests that are substantially similar to the other Claims or Interests within that Class.
 
(b)      Specification of Unimpaired Classes. As to each Debtor, § 1123(a)(2) is satisfied because the Modified Plan properly designates Classes of Claims and Interests as impaired or unimpaired. 
 
(c)      Specification of Treatment of Impaired Classes. As to each Debtor, § 1123(a)(3) is satisfied because the Modified Plan specifies the treatment of each Class of Claims and Interests that is impaired under the Modified Plan, to the extent that the Claims or Interests within such Class are Allowed Claims or Allowed Interests, respectively. 
 
(d)      Equal Treatment Within Classes. As to each Debtor, § 1123(a)(4) is satisfied because the Modified Plan provides the same treatment for each Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest within a particular Class unless the holder of a particular Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest has agreed to a less favorable treatment of such Claim or Interest. 
 
(e)      Implementation of Plan. As to each Debtor, § 1123(a)(5) is satisfied because the Modified Plan provides adequate means for its implementation, including the sale of the Acquired Assets to the Purchaser. 
 
(f)      Charter Provisions. As to each Debtor, § 1123(a)(6) is not applicable here because there are no equity securities being issued pursuant to the Modified Plan. 
 
(g)      Selection of Officers and Directors. As to each Debtor, § 1123(a)(7) is satisfied because the Modified Plan contains only provisions that are consistent with the interests of holders of Claims and Interests and with public policy with respect to the manner of selection of the Plan Agent and the Trustee. Furthermore, based on the statements of counsel, the Disclosure Statement and First Amended Plan are deemed amended to reflect that William Zimmerman was no longer an officer or director of any of the Debtors, effective May 1, 2007. 
 
(h)      Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a). Rule 3016(a) of the Bankruptcy Rules is satisfied because the Modified Plan is dated and identifies the Entities submitting it.
 
7.      Debtors? Compliance with the Applicable Provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. As to each Debtor, § 1129(a)(2) is satisfied because the Debtors have complied with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
8. Plan Proposed in Good Faith. As to each Debtor, § 1129(a)(3) is satisfied becausethe Modified Plan was proposed in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law. In determining that the Modified Plan has been proposed in good faith, the Bankruptcy Court has examined the totality of circumstances surrounding the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases and the formulation of the Modified Plan. The Chapter 11 Cases was Filed and the Modified Plan was proposed with the legitimate and honest purposes of liquidating the Debtors and providing a fair and equitable Distribution of the Debtors' assets among their various Creditors and Interest holders. Further, the Modified Plan is the product of extensive, good faith, arms' length negotiations among the Debtors, the Creditors Committee and their respective counsel and financial advisors, as well as other parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Debtors, the Creditors Committee, the DIP Lender, the Post Confirmation Credit Facility Lender, the Purchaser and the Omega Lessor and their respective counsel and financial advisors acted in good faith in connection with the foregoing.
 
9. Resolution of Objections. All objections to Confirmation, to the extent not otherwise withdrawn or resolved as set forth herein, are overruled. 
 
10. Payment for Services and Expenses. As to each Debtor, § 1129(a)(4) is satisfied because, to the extent required by that section, any payment made or to be made by the Debtors for services or for costs and expenses in, or in connection with, the Chapter 11 Cases, or in connection with the Modified Plan and incident to the Chapter 11 Cases, has been approved by, or is subject to the approval of, the Bankruptcy Court as reasonable. 
 
11. Directors, Officers and Insiders. As to each Debtor, § 1129(a)(5) is satisfied, to the extent applicable, because the Debtors have disclosed the identity of the Entity that shall serve as Plan Agent and Trustee on and after the Confirmation Date and the Creditors Committeehas disclosed the identity of the Entities that shall compose the Executive Committee on and after the Confirmation Date.
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
12. No Rate Changes. As to each Debtor, § 1129(a)(6) is not applicable because there is no governmental regulatory commission with jurisdiction, after confirmation of the Modified Plan, over rates of the Debtors. 
 
13. Best Interests of Creditors Test. As to each Debtor, § 1129(a)(7) is satisfied. The liquidation analysis contained in Appendix 2 of the Disclosure Statement and other evidence proffered or adduced at the Confirmation Hearing (i) are persuasive and credible, (ii) have not been controverted by other evidence, and (iii) established that each holder of an impaired Claim or Interest either (x) has accepted the Modified Plan or (y) will receive or retain under the Modified 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 so receive or retain if the corresponding Debtor were liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 
14. Acceptance by Certain Classes. As set forth in the Ballot Certification, § 1129(a)(8)(A) is satisfied as to each Debtor with respect to one or more of Classes 3, 4 and 5, which are Classes of Claims Impaired by the Modified Plan, because such Classes have either accepted the First Amended Plan pursuant to ? 1126(c), or have no Impaired Creditors, and are deemed to have accepted the Modified Plan pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3019. As to each Debtor, ? 1129(a)(8)(B) is satisfied with respect to Classes 1 and 2 because such Classes are not impaired by the Modified Plan and are therefore conclusively deemed to have accepted the Modified Plan under ? 1126(f) and Bankruptcy Rule 3019.
 
15. Best Interests of Non-Accepting Classes. Section 1129(a)(8) has not been satisfied with respect to Classes 6, 7 and 8 for any Debtor and Class 5 for Senior Management Services of El Paso Sunset, Inc. ("SMS Sunset") because these Classes either are deemed not to have accepted the Modified Plan pursuant to ? 1126(g) or voted to reject the Modified Plan in the case of Class 5 Claims against SMS Sunset. Under the Modified Plan, no holder of a Claim or Interest that is junior to the Claims in Classes 5, 6 or 7 will receive or retain any property under the Modified Plan on account of such junior Claim or Interest, and no holder of an Interest that is junior to the Interests in Class 8 will receive or retain any property under the Modified Plan on account of such junior Interest. As to each Debtor, the Modified Plan therefore satisfies the requirements of § 1129(b)(2)(B) with respect to Classes 6 and 7 and § 1129(b)(2)(C) with respect to Class 8, and as to SMS Sunset, the Modified Plan further satisfies the requirements of § 1129(b)(2)(B) with respect to Class 5. Thus, the Modified Plan may be confirmed as to each Debtor without compliance with § 1129(a)(8) with respect to Classes 6, 7 and 8 and as to SMS Sunset without compliance with §1129(a)(8) with respect to Class 5; that is, the Modified Plan (i) does not discriminate unfairly against these Classes and (ii) is fair and equitable with respect to these Classes within the meaning of § 1129(b). No Creditors in Classes senior to Classes 5, 6, 7 and 8 are receiving more than 100% of the Allowed amount of their respective Claims.
 
16. Treatment of Administrative Expenses. As to each Debtor, § 1129(a)(9)(A) is satisfied because the Modified Plan provides that (i) there are no Claims of a kind specified in § 507(a)(3) and (ii) (a) Allowed Administrative Expenses arising from liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of the Debtors' businesses shall be paid in full or performed by the Debtors, in accordance with their terms and conditions in the ordinary course of business consistent with
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
such past practices and (b) Allowed Administrative Expenses of Professionals arising on or prior to the Effective Date shall be paid upon the Filing of applications for compensation and reimbursement of expenses and allowance by the Bankruptcy Court of the amounts sought in such applications. Applications for allowance and payment of Administrative Expenses that have not been paid, released or otherwise settled, including Administrative Expenses for reimbursement of expenses of the members of the Creditors Committee and Administrative Expenses for compensation or reimbursement of expenses incurred in making a substantial contribution in the Bankruptcy Case pursuant to §§ 503(b)(3) or (4), but excluding (i) Administrative Expenses that are postpetition trade payables not payable in the ordinary course of business until after the Effective Date and (ii) Administrative Expenses for fees and expenses of Professionals, must be filed on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the Effective Date or forever be barred from doing so.
 
17. Treatment of Other Priority Claims. As to each Debtor, § 1129(a)(9)(B) is satisfied because the Modified Plan provides that each holder of an Allowed Priority Claim shall be entitled to receive the Allowed amount of such Claim in full in Cash on or as soon as practicable after the later of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the date that such Claim becomes an Allowed Priority Claim. 
 
18. Treatment of Priority Tax Claims. As to each Debtor, §1129(a)(9)(C) is satisfied because the Modified Plan provides that, unless otherwise agreed by the holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim and the Plan Agent, each holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim shall receive on account of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim either (i) payment in full in Cash of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim on or as soon as practicable after the later of (a) the Effective Date
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
and (b) the date on which such Priority Tax Claim becomes an Allowed Priority Tax Claim; (ii) regular installment payments in Cash, over a period ending not later than five (5) years after the Petition Date, of a total value, as of the Effective Date, equal to the Allowed amount of such Priority Tax Claim; or (iii) such other treatment agreed to by the holder of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim and the Plan Agent, as applicable; provided, such treatment is on more favorable terms to the Debtors than the treatment set forth in clause (ii). Based on the statements of counsel at the Confirmation Hearing, it is anticipated that Allowed Priority Tax Claims will be paid in full in cash on or as soon as practicable after the later of (a) the Effective Date, (b) the date on which such Priority Tax Claim becomes an Allowed Priority Tax Claim and (c) the date such Priority Tax Claim comes due in the ordinary course pursuant to the terms of the Operations Transfer Agreement or by operation of law.
 
19. Acceptance of at Least One Impaired Class. As to each Debtor, § 1129(a)(10) is satisfied because at least one Class of Claims that is impaired under the Modified Plan has accepted the Modified Plan, determined without including any acceptance by an insider. For each Debtor, at least one Impaired Class has accepted the First Amended Plan and, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3019 and this Confirmation Order, are deemed to have accepted the Modified Plan. 
 
20. Feasibility. As to each Debtor, § 1129(a)(11) is satisfied because confirmation of the Modified Plan is not likely to be followed by the need for further financial reorganization or liquidation of any of the Debtors. The evidence proffered or adduced at the Confirmation Hearing (i) was persuasive and credible, (ii) was not controverted by other evidence, and (iii) established that the Debtors have the ability to meet their obligations under the Modified Plan. The Bankruptcy Court further finds that the Purchaser will be able to make the payments contemplated under the Modified Plan.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
21.      Compromises and Settlement. The Modified Plan contains a compromise and settlement of certain existing and potential disputes regarding Intercompany Claims and related matters (the "Settlement"), the terms of which are set forth more fully in Article II of the Modified Plan. The evidence proffered or adduced at the Confirmation Hearing in support of theproposed Settlement (i) was persuasive and credible, (ii) has not been controverted by other evidence, and (iii) established that the Settlement is the product of good faith, arms? length negotiation between and among the respective Debtors, in close consultation with the Creditors Committee, represents a reasonable compromise and settlement between and among the various Debtors and is in the best interest of the Debtors? estates and creditors. In support of the proposed Settlement, the Court makes the following findings:
 
(a)      The Debtors' estimate total Allowed General Unsecured Claims of approximately $9,035,345 against the SMSA II Debtors, and approximately $6,992,138 against the Liquidating Debtors. 
 
(b)      As of the Petition Date, approximately $14,138,558 of the total outstanding indebtedness under the Debtors' prepetition secured credit facility was owed by Liquidating Debtors, versus only approximately $2,125,093 owed by SMSA II Debtors. 
 
(c)      The Debtors' schedules indicate that, based on an analysis of accounts receivable and accounts payable owed between Debtor entities, the Liquidating Debtors owe a net intercompany payable to the SMSA II Debtors in excess of $2,400,000.00. 
 
(d)      Although all Debtors were jointly and severally liable on the prepetition secured credit facility, a significant portion of that indebtedness was satisfied effectively from the cash proceeds of asset belonging solely to two Liquidating Debtors: Cora Properties of Crane, LP and Cora Properties of Kerrville, LP. The balance of that indebtedness - comprising the outstanding DIP Facility - will be satisfied through the proceeds from the sale of the Omega Lease by the SMSA II Debtors to the Purchaser.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
(e)      Certain Debtors may be able to assert claims and Causes of Action against one another under various theories, including claims for right of contribution, Chapter 5 Causes of Action, substantive consolidation and claims for recovery under the theory of "single business enterprise." 
 
(f)      Taken individually, the Liquidating Debtors are generally administratively insolvent, as demonstrated in the Liquidation Analysis contained as Appendix 2 to the Disclosure Statement. 
 
(g)      The Debtors derive some benefit, whether tangible or intangible, in confirming a Plan for all twenty four Debtors, rather than risking the prospect of a "partial" Confirmation that splits the otherwise integrated family of Debtors such that some proceed under Chapter 11 while others convert to Chapter 7.
 
Moreover, having considered (i) the probability of success in litigation with due consideration for uncertainty in fact and law; (ii) the complexity and likely duration of the litigation, and the expense, inconvenience and delay necessarily attending it; and (iii) all other factors bearing on the wisdom of the Settlement, the Bankruptcy Court finds that the Modified Plan satisfies the requirements of Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and § 1123(b)(3) with respect to the Settlement. In addition, the Creditors Committee, by and through its counsel, has reviewed and commented upon the Settlement. Furthermore, the Creditors of the Estate, through their overwhelming support of the Modified Plan, have evidenced their support of the Settlement.
 
22. Auction. The Debtors have identified the Qualifying Bid of Diversicare Texas I, LLC, Diversicare Treemont, LLC, Diversicare Doctors, LLC, Diversicare Estates, LLC, Diversicare Katy, LLC, Diversicare Humble, LLC, Diversicare Normandy Terrace, LLC, and Diversicare Ballinger, LLC (collectively, the "Diversicare Parties") as the higher or better offer for the Acquired Assets of the SMSA II Debtors. The terms of this transaction are set forth in the Operations Transfer Agreement. Based on the evidence proffered or adduced at the Confirmation Hearing, the Diversicare Parties' Qualifying Bid comprises the higher or better offer for the purchase of the Acquired Assets. In addition, the Bankruptcy Court makes the following findings of fact and conclusions of law pertaining to the auction and proposed sale of the Acquired Assets to the Purchaser:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
(a)      On July 24, 2007, the Debtors conducted an auction for the sale of the Acquired Assets. The submission of bids and the subsequent auction conducted by the Debtors pursuant to the Bid Procedures, was fair, reasonable and conducted in good faith. A reasonable opportunity was afforded to each bidder in attendance to improve its bid to become a Qualifying Bid. 
 
(b)      The Debtors have complied with all of the Bid Procedures, and requested designation of the Diversicare Parties as the "Successful Bidder" and "Purchaser" for all purposes in the Modified Plan and this Confirmation Order. Accordingly, the Diversicare Parties are hereby determined to be the "Purchaser" for all purposes in the Modified Plan and this Confirmation Order. 
 
(c)      Notice of the auction was provided in conformity with Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 6004, 6006 and this Court's prior orders directing the form and manner of notice to be provided. Sufficient notice of the auction was provided, and such notice was properly served on all required entities, including without limitation all persons claiming any interest in the Assets. No other or further notice of the auction is necessary. 
 
(d)      A reasonable opportunity to object or be heard regarding the auction and proposed sale has been afforded to all interested parties and entities. 
 
(e)      The proposed sale has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action of the respective Debtors and, subject to the entry of this Confirmation Order, the Debtors have all organizational power and authority necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Successful Bid and the Operations Transfer Agreement. No consents or approvals, other than those expressly contemplated by the Successful Bid, are required for the Debtors to consummate the proposed sale. 
 
(f)      Neither the execution and delivery of the Operations Transfer Agreement, nor the consummation by the Debtors of the transactions contemplated thereby will constitute any violation or breach of or conflict with the organizational or formation documents of the respective Debtors or applicable law.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
(g)      Pursuant to §§ 105(a) and 363, sufficient business justification exists for the Sale of the Acquired Assets, and the transactions contemplated by the Successful Bid and the Operations Transfer Agreement are properly authorized under §§ 105 and 363. 
 
(h)      The execution of the Operations Transfer Agreement and any other transaction documents in connection with the Successful Bid and the corresponding proposed sale is in the best interests of the Debtors, their estates and creditors. A copy of the Operations Transfer Agreement executed in connection with the Successful Bid was admitted into evidence at the Confirmation Hearing. 
 
(i)      The Successful Bid and the Operations Transfer Agreement were negotiated, proposed and accepted in good faith from arms' length bargaining positions, and the consideration to be paid pursuant to the terms of Successful Bid constitutes adequate and fair value for the Acquired Assets. 
 
(j)      The applicable Debtors may sell the Acquired Assets free and clear of any and all liens, security interests or encumbrances (except for any lien, security interest or encumbrance permitted or required in the Successful Bid to remain attached to the applicable asset) because either (1) applicable non-bankruptcy law permits such a sale free and clear; (2) the applicable creditors consented to the sale; (3) the aggregate value to be received in consideration of the sale of the applicable asset and assumption, if any, of liabilities by the Purchaser exceeds the value of the liens upon and security interests in the applicable asset; (4) such security interests or liens are the subject of a bona fide dispute; or (5) applicable creditors could be compelled, in a legal or equitable proceeding, to accept a money satisfaction of such security interests or liens. 
 
(k)      The transactions contemplated in the Successful Bid are undertaken by the Debtors and the Purchaser at arms' length and in good faith within the meaning of §§ 363(m) and 364(e). The Purchaser is a good faith purchaser under § 363(m) in connection with the proposed and the transactions contemplated and authorized by this Confirmation Order, and shall be entitled to the protections afforded to a good faith purchaser thereunder.
 
23.      Issuance of Plan Shares; Reverse Merger.
 
(a)      On July 26, 2007, Halter Financial Group, Inc. ("HFG") Filed notice with the Bankruptcy Court of its election to receive Plan Shares in satisfaction of its Allowed Administrative Expense, thereby triggering the provisions of Sections 6.1 through 6.7 of the Modified Plan.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
(b)      In light of the sale of the Acquired Assets, all Debtors (excluding Serenity) will be Target Debtors for all purposes under the Modified Plan. 
 
(c)      The Plan Shares issued to HFG and Class 4 General Unsecured Creditors are issued on account of their respective Allowed Claims, and satisfy the criteria of ? 1145(a), and any recipient of any securities pursuant thereto is not an "underwriter" as defined in § 1145(b). 
 
(d)      The Debtors, together with HFG and the Committee, have demonstrated a reasonable probability that reverse mergers or acquisitions which are provided for in the Modified Plan to be secured by the Target Debtors will take place prior to the Consummation of the Plan Date for each entity by demonstrating previous success with such transactions in other bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy contexts. 
 
(e)      For purposes of § 1125(c), the proponents of the Modified Plan and HFG, as applicable, have solicited acceptances and rejections of the Modified Plan and otherwise participated in the offering and issuance of securities of the Target Debtors under the Modified Plan in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and are entitled to the protections of § 1125(e). 
 
(f)      Each Target Debtor shall be deemed to have received a discharge pursuant to § 1141(d)(1)(A) upon meeting the conditions set forth in the Modified Plan prior to that Debtor's Consummation of the Plan Date.
 
24.      Payment of Certain Fees. As to each Debtor, §1129(a)(12) is satisfied because, pursuant to Section 5.14 of the Modified Plan, all fees payable under 28 U.S.C. § 1930 have been paid or shall be paid on or before the Effective Date.
 
25.      Continuation of Retirement Benefits. As to each Debtor, § 1129(a)(13) is inapplicable because the Debtors have no retirees.
 
26.      Only One Plan. For each Debtor, the Modified Plan is the only plan of reorganization of the Debtors pending before this Bankruptcy Court or any other court.

28. Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; Cure Amounts. Each executory contract and unexpired lease of the Debtors that is listed on the Schedule of Assumed Contracts is being assumed by the Debtors and assigned to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Modified Plan. For each such contract and lease identified on the Schedule of Assumed Contracts and in the Operations Transfer Agreement, either (i) there have been no defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease, other than defaults of the nature set forth in § 365(b)(2) or (ii) with respect to defaults other than those specified in such Section, the Debtors (a) have cured, or provided adequate assurance that the Debtors will cure, such defaults on or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, and (b) have compensated, or provided adequate assurance that the Debtors will compensate, on or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, parties to such executory contracts or unexpired leases for any actual pecuniary loss resulting from such default.

Unexpired Leases, entered July 25, 2007. In the exercise of their reasonable business judgment, the Debtors have determined to reject all executory contracts and unexpired leases that are not (i) not listed on the Schedule of Assumed Contracts or (ii) otherwise made the subject of a motion to assume and assign such contracts or leases pursuant to §365 Filed on or before the Confirmation Date shall be deemed rejected by the corresponding Debtors; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the assumption and assignment of the Omega Lease, which is dealt with in the following paragraph; and provided further, that the Debtors shall remain in possession of their corporate headquarters at 800 West Arbrook, Arlington, Texas through August 31, 2007.
