INTRODUCTION

        Frankfort Tower Industries, Inc. (“Frankfort Tower Industries”), Frankfort Tower Installation Services, Inc. (“Frankfort Tower Installation”), Frankfort Tower Enclosures, Inc. (“Frankfort Tower Enclosures”), Frankfort Tower, Inc. (“Frankfort Tower”), Frankfort Tower Products, Inc. (“Frankfort Tower Products”), and Frankfort Tower Construction, Inc. (“Frankfort Tower Construction”), as debtors and debtors-in-possession in the above-captioned Chapter 11 cases (collectively, the “Debtors”), hereby propose the following joint liquidating plan for the resolution of the Debtors’ outstanding creditor claims and equity interests (the “Plan”). Reference is made to the Disclosure Statement for a business overview, risk factors, and a summary and analysis of the Plan and certain related matters. The Debtors are the proponents of the Plan within the meaning of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.

        The Plan constitutes a liquidating plan that provides for a distribution to creditors that is comparable to a liquidation under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code but avoids the commission and other fees and costs to which a Chapter 7 Trustee would be entitled. The Plan provides for all of the property of the Debtors to be liquidated over time, and for the proceeds to be allocated in accordance with the terms of this Plan and distributed to the holders of certain Allowed Claims. An Initial Distribution is to occur on the Effective Date of the Plan and assets not distributed on the Effective Date are to be held in trust by a Disbursement Agent who will, among other things, liquidate assets, resolve disputed claims, pursue any reserved causes of action, wind up the affairs of the Debtors, and make Interim Distributions and a Final Distribution. The Debtors will be dissolved as soon as practicable after the consummation of the Plan.

        Under section 1125(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, a vote to accept or reject the Plan cannot be solicited from a holder of a claim until such time as the Disclosure Statement has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court and distributed to holders of Claims entitled to vote on the Plan. ALL SUCH HOLDERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO READ THIS PLAN AND THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE VOTING TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THIS PLAN.

        Subject to the restrictions on modifications set forth in section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019 and those restrictions on modifications set forth in Section 14.2 of this Plan, the Debtors expressly reserve the right to alter, amend or modify this Plan, one or more times, before its substantial consummation.

        (a)         Interim Distributions.    The Disbursing Agent shall make interim distributions of Cash from the Distribution Reserve, as set forth herein, to holders of Secured Claims, Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims, Non-Tax Priority Claims, and Allowed General Unsecured Claims (and to the respective reserves for each) any time the aggregate total in the Distribution Reserve equals or exceeds $1,000,000. The Disbursing Agent shall make such interim distributions only after consultation with the Committee and is permitted to make interim distributions at any time after the occurrence of the Effective Date.

        (b)         Final Distribution.    The Disbursing Agent shall make the Final Distribution when, in the reasonable judgment of the Disbursing Agent, in consultation with the Committee, all assets of the Debtors’ estates have been liquidated and there are no potential sources of additional Cash for distribution, there remain no Disputed Claims, and the Disbursing Agent is in a position to make the Final Distribution in accordance with applicable law.

If the Debtors or the Disbursing Agent, as the case may be, elect to satisfy an Allowed Secured Claim by payment of such Claim pursuant to the terms of this Plan, interest will be paid with respect to such Claim on account of the period during which such Claim remained a Disputed Secured Claim prior to allowance to the extent required by applicable bankruptcy law.




- 16 -

        (b)         Delivery of Distributions.    Distributions of assets to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims shall be made directly to the holders of such claims at the address of each such holder as set forth on the Schedules filed with the Bankruptcy Court unless superseded by the address as set forth on the proofs of claim filed by such holders. If any holder’s distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such holder shall be made unless the Disbursing Agent is made aware of such holder’s then current address, at which time the undelivered distribution shall be made to such holder, without interest.

        (c)         Procedures for Treating and Resolving Disputed and Contingent Claims.

 
         (i)          No payments or distributions will 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, and the Disputed Claim has become an Allowed Claim.

         (iii)          The Debtors or the Disbursing Agent, as the case may be, will request estimation pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for every Disputed Claim that is contingent or unliquidated and the fixing or liquidation of which, as the case may be, would unduly delay the final Distribution contemplated herein.

        (d)         De Minimis Distributions.    Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, the Disbursing Agent shall not be required to make interim or final distributions in an amount less than $5.00. The Estate Funds that would have been distributed but for this subsection shall be reallocated Pro Rata to those holders of Allowed Claims that are receiving a distribution of $5.00 or more.

Upon such resolution or satisfaction, the Disbursing Agent shall promptly make such distribution to the holder of such Claim as would provide that holder with a total distribution based upon the amount of that holder’s Allowed Claim that is equal to the Pro Rata distribution made to holders of other Claims of the same class or priority. If any distribution is made on a Claim prior to the timely filing of an objection or a cause of action, and the Court subsequently grants the objection, in whole or in part, or enters judgment against the Creditor in the cause of action, the Debtors or the Disbursing Agent may take appropriate actions to recover the overpayment portion of such distribution or to net such overpayment against any further distribution or distributions to the Creditor from the Disbursing Agent under the Plan.

         (ii)          All other requests for payment of an Administrative Claim must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served so as to be received by counsel for the Debtors within forty-five (45) days after the Confirmation Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no request for payment of an Administrative Claim need be filed with respect to an Administrative Claim which is paid or payable by the Debtors in the ordinary course of business;

 
         (iii)          Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, Administrative Claims are to be paid from the Administrative Claims Reserve on the last Business Day of the first month following the end of the fiscal quarter in which, and to the extent, they become Allowed Claims.

        10.1.         Compromises and Settlements.    Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019(a), the Debtors may compromise and settle various Claims (a) against them and (b) that they have against other Persons. The Debtors expressly reserve the right (with Bankruptcy Court approval, following appropriate notice and opportunity for a hearing) to compromise and settle Claims against them and pending claims that they may have against other Persons up to and including the Effective Date. After the Effective Date, such right shall pass to the Disbursing Agent and the Disbursing Agent shall have the power and authority to compromise and settle Claims, subject to approval from the Bankruptcy Court or approval and consent from the Committee. All compromises and settlements made prior to the Effective Date are hereby confirmed and ratified, and such compromises and settlements are and shall continue to be binding on the Disbursing Agent and all parties in interest on and after the Effective Date.

        10.2.         Disputed Prepetition Claims.    Until the Effective Date, all objections to Claims are to be filed by the Debtors. From and after the Effective Date, all objections to Claims may be filed by the Debtors or the Disbursing Agent on or before the Claims Objection Deadline, or such later date as may be provided by order of the Bankruptcy Court upon request of the Disbursing Agent.

        10.3.         Setoffs.    The Debtors may, but shall not be required to, set off against any Claim, and the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of such Claim, claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors may have against the holder of such Claim; but neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors of any such claim that the Debtors may have against such holder. After the Effective Date, such right shall pass to the Disbursing Agent.
