Special Provision Governing Unimpaired Claims Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, nothing under the Plan shall affect the Debtors' or the Reorganized Debtors' rights in respect of any Unimpaired Claims, including, but not limited to, all rights in respect of legal and equitable defenses to or setoffs or recoupments against such Unimpaired Claims. ARTICLE IV. ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF THE PLAN A. Voting Classes Each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest in Classes 5, 6 and 7 shall be entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. B. Acceptance by Impaired Classes An Impaired Class of Claims shall have accepted the Plan if (a) the Holders (other than any Holder designated under section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code) of at least two-thirds in amount of the Allowed Claims actually voting in such Class have voted to accept the Plan and (b) the Holders (other than any Holder designated under section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code) of more than one-half in number of the Allowed Claims actually voting in such Class have voted to accept the Plan. C. Presumed Acceptance of Plan Classes 1, 2, 3(A), 3(B), 3(C) and 4 are unimpaired under the Plan and, therefore, are presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. D. Presumed Rejection of Plan Classes 8 and 9 are impaired and shall receive no distributions and, therefore, are presumed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. 17 E. Non-Consensual Confirmation The Debtors and the Committee reserve the right to seek Confirmation of the Plan under section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent applicable, in the event that any Voting Class fails to accept the Plan in accordance with section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors and the Committee reserve the right (a) to request that the Bankruptcy Court confirm the Plan in accordance with section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or (b) to modify the Plan in accordance with Section XIV.D. hereof. ARTICLE V. MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN A. Substantive Consolidation This Plan is premised upon the limited substantive consolidation of the Debtors solely for purposes of actions associated with the Confirmation of this Plan and occurrence of the Effective Date, including, but not limited to, voting, confirmation and distribution. As a result of this limited substantive consolidation, a Holder of Claims against one or more of the Debtors arising from or relating to the same underlying debt that would otherwise constitute Allowed Claims against two or more Debtors, including, without limitation, Claims based on joint and several liability, contribution, indemnity, subrogation, reimbursement, surety, guaranty, co-maker and similar concepts, shall have only one Allowed Claim on account of such Claims. This Plan does not contemplate the merger or dissolution of any Debtor or the transfer or further commingling of any asset of any Debtor, except that the assets of Fleming and certain Filing Subsidiaries already being used by Fleming Convenience in its operations shall be formally vested in Core-Mark International Inc., or one of its Debtor subsidiaries, and except to accomplish the distributions under this Plan. Such limited substantive consolidation shall not effect (other than for Plan voting, treatment, and/or distribution purposes) (i) the legal and corporate structures of the Reorganized Debtors or (ii) Equity Interests in the Filing Subsidiaries. This Plan shall serve as a motion seeking entry of an order substantively consolidating the Chapter 11 Cases, as described herein. Unless an objection to substantive consolidation is made in writing by any creditor affected by this Plan as herein provided on or before ___ days prior to the date that is fixed by the Bankruptcy Court as the last date on which acceptances to this Plan may be received, or such other date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court, the substantive consolidation order (which may be the Confirmation Order) may be entered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event any such objections are timely filed, a hearing with respect thereto shall be scheduled by the Bankruptcy Court, which hearing may, but need not, coincide with the Confirmation Hearing. B. Continued Corporate Existence and Vesting of Assets in the Reorganized Debtors Each Debtor shall, as a Reorganized Debtor, continue to exist after the Effective Date as a separate legal entity, each with all the powers of a corporation or partnership, as applicable, under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization and without prejudice to any right to alter or terminate such existence (whether by merger or otherwise) under such applicable state law. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, on and after the Effective Date all property of the Estate and any property acquired by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors under the Plan shall vest in the applicable Reorganized Debtor, free and clear of all Claims, liens, charges, or other encumbrances. On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may operate their respective businesses and may use, acquire or dispose of property without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules, other than those restrictions expressly imposed by the Plan and the Confirmation Order. C. Cancellation of Old Notes, Old Stock and Other Equity Interests On the Effective Date, except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all notes, instruments, certificates, and other documents evidencing (a) the Old Notes, (b) the Old Stock and (c) any stock options, warrants or other rights to purchase Old Stock shall be canceled and the obligations of the Debtors thereunder or in any way related thereto shall be discharged. On the Effective Date, except to the extent otherwise provided herein, any indenture relating to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, the Indentures, shall be deemed to be canceled, as permitted by section 1123(a)(5)(F) of the Bankruptcy Code, and the obligations of the Debtors thereunder, except 18 for the obligation to indemnify the Old Notes Trustees, shall be discharged; provided that the indentures that govern the rights of the Holder of a Claim and that are administered by the Old Notes Trustees, an agent or servicer shall continue in effect solely for the purposes of (y) allowing the Old Notes Trustees, agent or servicer to make the distributions to be made on account of such Claims under the Plan and to perform such other necessary administrative functions with respect thereto and (z) permitting the Old Notes Trustees, agent or servicer to maintain any rights or liens it may have for fees, costs and expenses under such Indenture or other agreement. Any fees or expenses due to any of the Old Notes Trustees, agent or servicer shall be paid directly by the Debtors and shall not be deducted from any distributions to the Holders of Claims and Equity Interests. D. Issuance of New Securities; Execution of Related Documents On or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, Core-Mark Newco shall issue all securities, notes, instruments, certificates, and other documents of Core-Mark Newco required to be issued pursuant hereto, including, without limitation, the New Common and Preferred Stock, each of which shall be distributed as provided herein. Core-Mark Newco shall execute and deliver such other agreements, documents and instruments, including the Registration Rights Agreement, if applicable. E. Restructuring Transactions On or before the Effective Date, Core-Mark Newco, a new Delaware corporation, shall be formed by certain of the Debtors' creditors or a nominee on their behalf. Core-Mark Newco shall form two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Core-Mark Holdings I and Core-Mark Holdings II, both Delaware corporations, and make a capital contribution of its stock to these entities. Core-Mark Holdings I and Core-Mark Holdings II shall form another subsidiary, Core-Mark Holdings III, owned equally by Core-Mark Holdings I and Core-Mark Holdings II, and shall make a capital contribution of the stock of Core-Mark Newco to Core-Mark Holdings III. Core-Mark Newco, Core-Mark Holdings I, Core-Mark Holdings II, Core-Mark Holdings III and Fleming shall engage in certain transactions on the Effective Date that will result in, among other things, all of the stock of Core-Mark Newco being distributed in accordance with Article III of the Plan. In addition, on or after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may continue to enter into such transactions and may continue to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect a further corporate restructuring of their respective businesses, including actions necessary to simplify, reorganize and rationalize the overall reorganized corporate structure of the Reorganized Debtors. While the Debtors are presently evaluating potential restructuring transactions, the contemplated transactions may include (i) dissolving various unnecessary subsidiary companies, including certain of the Debtors, (ii) filing appropriate certificates or articles of merger, consolidation or dissolution pursuant to applicable state law and (iii) any other action reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the contemplated transactions. In each case in which the surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation in any of these transactions is a successor to a Reorganized Debtor, such surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation will perform the obligations of the applicable Reorganized Debtor pursuant to the Plan, to pay or otherwise satisfy the Allowed Claims against such Reorganized Debtor. F. Corporate Governance, Directors and Officers, and Corporate Action 1. Amended Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may, if necessary, reincorporate in their respective states of incorporation and file their Restated Certificates of Incorporation with the Secretary of State in the state in which they are incorporated.

Directors and Officers of the Reorganized Debtors Subject to any requirement of Bankruptcy Court approval pursuant to section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the Effective Date, the principal officers of the Debtors immediately prior to the Effective Date will be the officers of the Reorganized Debtors. Pursuant to section 1129(a)(5), the Debtors will disclose, on or prior to the Confirmation Date, the identity and affiliations of any Person proposed to serve on the initial board of directors of 19 Core-Mark Newco and each Reorganized Debtor. The initial board of directors of Core-Mark Newco shall consist of seven members, the Chief Executive Officer of Core-Mark Newco, [____] representatives selected by the Committee and [____] representatives selected by the Equity Investor. To the extent any such Person is an "insider" under the Bankruptcy Code, the nature of any compensation for such Person will also be disclosed. Each such director and officer shall serve from and after the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of such Reorganized Debtor's certificate of incorporation, and other constituent documents. 3. Corporate Action After the Effective Date, the adoption and filing, if necessary, of any of the Reorganized Debtors' Restated Certificates of Incorporation, the approval of their Restated By-laws, the appointment of directors and officers for Core-Mark Newco, the adoption of the Management Incentive Plan, and all other actions contemplated hereby with respect to each of the Reorganized Debtors shall be authorized and approved in all respects (subject to the provisions hereof). All matters provided for herein involving the corporate structure of any Debtor or any Reorganized Debtor, and any corporate action required by any Debtor or any Reorganized Debtor in connection with the Plan, shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be in effect, without any requirement of further action by the security holders or directors of such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor. On the Effective Date, the appropriate officers of each Reorganized Debtor and members of the board of directors of each Reorganized Debtor are authorized and directed to issue, execute and deliver the agreements, documents, securities and instruments contemplated by the Plan in the name of and on behalf of such Reorganized Debtor.

Formation/Purpose On the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, Core-Mark Newco will form a Post Confirmation Trust to administer certain of its post confirmation responsibilities under the Plan, including, but not necessarily limited to, those responsibilities associated with the pursuit and collection of the Litigation Claims. 2. Powers The powers, authority, responsibilities and duties of the Post Confirmation Trust and the allocation of such powers, authority, responsibilities and duties between Core-Mark Newco and the Post Confirmation Trust, shall be set forth and governed by the Post Confirmation Trust Agreement to be mutually agreed upon by the Debtors and the Committee. The Debtors and the Committee shall also mutually agree upon appointment of the Post Confirmation Trustee who shall have the power to administer the Post Confirmation Trust and will be advised by the Post Confirmation Trust Advisory Board as specified in the Post Confirmation Trust Agreement. The Post Confirmation Trust Advisory Board shall consist of the Post Confirmation Trustee and [___] additional members, [____] members selected by the Committee, [___] members selected by the Debtors and one member selected by the Equity Investor. 3. Funding Core-Mark Newco will enter into a post confirmation funding agreement with the Post Confirmation Trust to fund the Post Confirmation Trust with appropriate funds to carry out its duties and responsibilities as set forth in the Post Confirmation Trust Agreement. H. Creation of Professional Fee Escrow Account On or before the Effective Date, the Debtors shall establish and fund the Professional Fee Escrow Account. 20 ARTICLE VI. DEBTORS' RETAINED CAUSES OF ACTION A. Maintenance of Causes of Action Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, Core-Mark Newco and the Reorganized Debtors shall retain all rights on behalf of the Debtors, Core-Mark Newco and the Reorganized Debtors to commence and pursue, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action, whether such Causes of Action accrued before or after the Petition Date, including, but not limited to, the actions specified in section VI.B. herein, as well as those Causes of Action listed on Exhibit D hereto, in any court or other tribunal including, without limitation, in an adversary proceeding filed in one or more of the Debtors' Chapter 11 Cases. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, in accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Claims, rights, and Causes of Action that the respective Debtors, Core-Mark Newco and the Reorganized Debtors may hold against any Person shall vest in Core-Mark Newco. Core-Mark Newco shall retain and may exclusively enforce any and all such Claims, rights or Causes of Action, and commence, pursue and settle the Causes of Action in accordance with the Plan, provided the Post Confirmation Trust may commence, pursue and settle certain Causes of Action, including, but not necessarily limited to, the Litigation Claims as outlined more fully in the Post Confirmation Trust Agreement. Core-Mark Newco and the Post Confirmation Trust, as applicable, shall have the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to institute, prosecute, abandon, settle, or compromise any and all such claims, rights, and Causes of Action without the consent or approval of any third party and without any further order of court. B. Preservation of Causes of Action The Debtors are currently investigating whether to pursue potential Causes of Action against any Creditors or other Persons. The investigation has not been completed to date, and under the Plan, Core-Mark Newco and the Post Confirmation Trust, as applicable, retain the right on behalf of the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors to commence and pursue any and all Causes of Action. Potential Causes of Action currently being investigated by the Debtors, which may, but need not, be pursued by the Debtors before the Effective Date or by Core-Mark Newco or the Post Confirmation Trust, as applicable, after the Effective Date include, without limitation, the following Causes of Action set forth below: o All actual or potential avoidance actions pursuant to any applicable section of the Bankruptcy Code including, without limitation, sections 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, 550, 551, 553(b) and/or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, arising from any transaction involving or concerning the Debtors; o Any lawsuits for, or in any way involving, the collection of accounts receivable or any matter related thereto; o Any actions against landlords, lessees, sublessees, or assignees arising from various leases, subleases and assignment agreements relating thereto, including, without limitation, actions for overcharges relating to taxes, common area maintenance and other similar charges; o Any litigation or lawsuit initiated by any of the Debtors that is currently pending, whether in the Bankruptcy Court, before the American Arbitration Association, or any other court or tribunal; o Potential actions for breaches of fiduciary duty, negligent mismanagement and wasting of corporate assets and corporate opportunity and/or arising under any of the Debtors' directors and officers insurance policies against any of the Debtors' prepetition directors and officers except the D&O Releasees; o Any and all actions against all Persons except the D&O Releasees arising out of, or in connection with, the prepetition management, operation and/or reporting of financial or other information; 21 o Actions to recover amounts improperly awarded to employees under the terms of any prepetition employment or change-in-control agreement; o All actions against third parties with respect to prepetition violations of applicable federal or state securities laws; o Any and all actual or potential breach of contract actions against any customers or Entities who improperly exited the Debtors' system or who violated the automatic stay after the Petition Date; o Any and all potential Causes of Action against any customer or vendor who has improperly asserted or taken action through setoff or recoupment; and o Any and all actions whether legal, equitable or statutory in nature, arising out of, or in connection with the Debtors' business or operations. In addition, there may be numerous other Causes of Action which currently exist or may subsequently arise that are not set forth herein, because the facts upon which such Causes of Action are based are not fully or currently known by the Debtors and, as a result, cannot be raised during the pending of the Chapter 11 Cases (collectively, the "Unknown Causes of Action"). The failure to list any such Unknown Cause of Action herein, or on Exhibit D attached hereto, is not intended to limit the rights of Core-Mark Newco to pursue any Unknown Cause of Action to the extent the facts underlying such Unknown Cause of Action become fully known to the Debtors. C. Preservation of All Causes of Action Not Expressly Settled or Released Unless a Claim or Cause of Action against a Creditor or other Person is expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised or settled in the Plan or any Final Order, the Debtors expressly reserve such Claim or Cause of Action for later adjudication by Core-Mark Newco or the Post Confirmation Trust, as applicable, (including, without limitation, Unknown Causes of Action) and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including, without limitation, the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, waiver, estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise) or laches shall apply to such Claims or Causes of Action upon or after the Confirmation or Effective Date of the Plan based on the Disclosure Statement, the Plan or the Confirmation Order, except where such Claims or Causes of Action have been released in the Plan or other Final Order. In addition, the Debtors, Core-Mark Newco, the Reorganized Debtors, the Post Confirmation Trust, as applicable, and the successor entities under the Plan expressly reserve the right to pursue or adopt any Claim alleged in any lawsuit in which the Debtors are defendants or an interested party, against any Person or Entity, including, without limitation, the plaintiffs or co-defendants such lawsuits. Any Person to whom the Debtors have incurred an obligation (whether on account of services, purchase or sale of goods or otherwise), or who has received services from Debtors or a transfer of money or property of the Debtors, or who has transacted business with the Debtors, or leased equipment or property from the Debtors should assume that such obligation, transfer, or transaction may be reviewed by the Debtors subsequent to the Effective Date and may, if appropriate, be the subject of an action after the Effective Date, whether or not (i) such Entity has filed a proof of Claim against the Debtors in these Bankruptcy Cases; (ii) such Creditor's proof of Claim has been objected to; (iii) such Creditor's Claim was included in the Debtors' Schedules; or (iv) such Creditor's scheduled Claim has been objected to by the Debtors or has been identified by the Debtors as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated. ARTICLE VII. FUNDING OF THE PLAN All Cash necessary for Core-Mark Newco and the Post Confirmation Trust, as applicable, to make payments pursuant to the Plan will be obtained from the Reorganized Debtors' existing Cash balances, operations, the Exit Financing Facility, the Rights Offering, and prosecution of Causes of Action, including collections of the Litigation Claims, unless such Cash is not sufficient to fund the Plan, in which case the Debtors, with the consent of the Committee, reserve the right to raise Cash from a sale of some or substantially all of their assets. 22 A. Exit Financing Facility, Obtaining Cash for Plan Distributions and Transfers of Funds Among the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors Cash payments to be made pursuant to the Plan will be made by Core-Mark Newco and the Post Confirmation Trust, as applicable, provided, however, that the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors will be entitled to transfer funds between and among themselves as they determine to be necessary or appropriate to enable Core-Mark Newco and the Post Confirmation Trust, as applicable, to satisfy their respective obligations under the Plan. On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors are authorized to execute and deliver those documents necessary or appropriate to obtain the Exit Financing Facility. B. The Rights Offering 1. The Rights Offering Each Holder of a Class 6 General Unsecured Claim that is listed on the Rights Participation Schedule (attached hereto as Exhibit B) shall receive under the Plan, and be entitled to exercise, Equity Subscription Rights to purchase shares of Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock will be convertible into New Common Stock at a conversion price of ____, will carry a PIK dividend of ____, and will have a liquidation preference over the Common Stock of $______ per share. See the Equity Commitment Letter attached as Exhibit E for a more detailed description of the Preferred Stock. Each Holder listed on such Schedule will receive its Ratable Portion of the total amount of Equity Subscription Rights based on the ratio of such Holder's Rights Participation Claim Amount to the total of the Rights Participation Claim Amounts for all Holders listed on such Schedule (as set forth in the Rights Participation Schedule). Each Holder listed on the Equity Participation Schedule will be entitled to purchase up to an amount of Preferred Stock equal to its Ratable Portion of the Equity Subscription Rights multiplied by the total number of shares of Preferred Stock being offered for sale under the Rights Offering, subject to adjustment as described below. Depending on the amount of additional cash required to fund the Plan, up to a maximum of [$__] million of Preferred Stock will be offered under the Rights Offering, which, at a Subscription Purchase Price of $____________ per share of Preferred Stock, represents up to a maximum of _______ shares of Preferred Stock. If any Holder of a General Unsecured Claim is not listed on the Rights Participation Schedule or disputes the Rights Participation Claim Amount listed on the Rights Participation Schedule, such General Unsecured Claim Holder may file a motion with the Bankruptcy Court for estimation of its Claim for purposes of the Rights Offering. Disputing Holders shall be entitled to participate in the Rights Offering in the amount of their Additional Participating Amount, if any, determined by the Bankruptcy Court or agreed to by the Debtors with the consent of the Committee and the Equity Investor prior to the Subscription Expiration Date, as further described in section VII.B.10 below. If, as a result of Disputing Holders exercising their Equity Subscription Rights with respect to Additional Participating Amounts, the Rights Offering is oversubscribed, each Claim Holder which has exercised its Equity Subscription Rights shall be cut back pro rata based on the number of shares of Preferred Stock for which such Claim Holder has exercised its Equity Subscription Rights. The Debtors have entered into an Equity Commitment Letter with an Equity Investor which obligates the Equity Investor, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, to purchase any remaining shares of Preferred Stock available after the Holders of Class 6 Claims have exercised their Equity Subscription Rights, and which entitles the Equity Investor, at its option, to purchase a minimum of $[__] million of Preferred Stock at the Subscription Purchase Price, as further described in Section VII.B.7. below. Accordingly, to the extent that a large enough amount of Equity Subscription Rights are exercised such that less than $[__] million of Preferred Stock remains available for sale to the Equity Investor and the Equity Investor exercises its minimum purchase right, each Exercising Claim Holder shall be cut back pro rata based on the number of shares of Preferred Stock for which such Claim Holder has exercised its Equity Subscription Rights. 2. Issuance of Equity Subscription Rights The Equity Subscription Rights shall provide the Holders of Class 6 Claims listed on the Rights Participation Schedule the right to purchase Preferred Stock at the Subscription Purchase Price pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this section. After the Plan has been confirmed and prior to the Effective Date, a 23 Subscription Form will be distributed to each Holder of a Claim in Class 6 listed on the Rights Participation Schedule. 3. Subscription Period The Rights Offering shall commence on the Subscription Commencement Date (which shall be a date after Confirmation of the Plan) and shall expire on the Subscription Expiration Date (which shall be a date on or prior to the Effective Date of the Plan). After the Subscription Expiration Date, unexercised Equity Subscription Rights shall be treated as acquired by the Equity Investor, Core-Mark Newco shall only be obligated to honor the exercise of such Equity Subscription Rights by the Equity Investor, any subsequent exercise of any such unexercised Equity Subscription Rights by any Person other than the Equity Investor shall be null and void, and Core-Mark Newco shall not be obligated to honor any such purported exercise received by the Subscription Agent after the Subscription Expiration Date, regardless of when the documents relating to such exercise were sent. The Debtors may, in their sole discretion, extend the Subscription Period. 4. Subscription Purchase Price Each Subscription Right will be exercisable to purchase one share of Preferred Stock for $_______. 5. Exercise of Equity Subscription Rights In order to exercise the Equity Subscription Rights, each Holder thereof must: (i) return a duly completed Subscription Form to the Subscription Agent so that such form is received by the Subscription Agent on or before the Subscription Expiration Date; and (ii) pay to the Subscription Agent (on behalf of the Debtors) on or before the Subscription Expiration Date immediately available funds in an amount equal to the Subscription Purchase Price multiplied by the number of shares of Preferred Stock in respect of which such Holder is exercising its Subscription Purchase Rights, such payment to be made either by wire transfer to the Subscription Agent in accordance with the wire instructions set forth on the Subscription Form or by bank or cashier's check delivered to the Subscription Agent along with the Subscription Form. If, on or prior to the Subscription Expiration Date, the Subscription Agent for any reason has not received from a given Holder of Equity Subscription Rights both a duly completed Subscription Form and immediately available funds in an amount equal to such Holder's Purchase Price, such Holder shall be deemed to have not exercised its Equity Subscription Rights and to have relinquished and waived its right to participate in the Rights Offering. A Subscription Form must also be accompanied by sufficient evidence of ownership of the Claim giving rise to the Equity Subscription Rights, as well as appropriate executed representations as to ownership. The payments made in accordance with the Rights Offering shall be deposited and held by the Subscription Agent in a trust account, escrow account, or similar segregated account or accounts which shall be separate and apart from the Debtor's general operating funds and any other funds subject to any cash collateral arrangements and which segregated account or accounts will be maintained for the purpose of holding the money for administration of the Rights Offering until the Effective Date, or such other later date, at the option of the Reorganized Debtors, but not later than _____ days after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order for a Holder of a General Unsecured Claim arising from an Old Note to exercise the Equity Subscription Rights, each such Holder entitled to Equity Subscription Rights must provide its instruction to its bank, broker, or other nominee, or to its agent by the deadline specified on the Subscription Form. The bank or broker, in turn, must then convey the instruction on a Master Subscription Form and arrange for the proper payment either through DTC or, if DTC is unable to act as intermediary for subscription instructions and payments, by following the payment instructions outlined above. 6. Transfer Restriction Prior to the Subscription Expiration Date, the Equity Subscription Rights must be transferred with the underlying Claim. The Equity Subscription Rights are not separately transferable. 7. Equity Investor Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Commitment Letter and subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the Equity Investor of all conditions precedent set forth therein, the Equity Investor shall be obligated to, and shall, purchase all shares of Preferred Stock remaining after the Holders of General Unsecured Claims have exercised their 24 Equity Subscription Rights, at the Subscription Purchase Price. The conditions precedent include, among other things: completion of all legal documentation and filings satisfactory to the Equity Investor; administrative claims not being allowed or estimated in excess of a specified amount; Reclamation Claims not being granted administrative status; receipt by Core-Mark Newco of a commitment for an Exit Financing Facility acceptable to the Equity Investor; the timetable for assessment of preferences and Reclamation Claims being acceptable to the Equity Investor; the Equity Investor having the right to name ____ directors to the Core-Mark Newco board; the Plan being acceptable to the Equity Investor; Core-Mark Newco's reorganized capital structure having funded liabilities of no more than [__] million; and no material deterioration occurring in the underlying business of Core-Mark Newco. The Equity Investor has the right, at its option, to purchase a minimum of $[__] million of Preferred Stock at the Subscription Purchase Price. The Equity Investor shall pay to the Debtors, by wire transfer in immediately available funds on or prior to the Effective Date, Cash in an amount equal to the Purchase Price for all unexercised Equity Subscription Rights (or the purchase price payable upon exercise of its minimum purchase rights), pursuant to the terms of the Equity Commitment. To the extent that the exemption under section 1145(a)(1) is not available to exempt the issuance of the Preferred Stock to the Equity Investor, the offer and sale of such securities shall be qualified under the section 4(2) private placement exemption contained in the Securities Act. Core-Mark Newco shall grant registration rights to the Equity Investor as further described in the Registration Rights Agreement. The Equity Investor will be paid a fee in Preferred Stock equal to ___% of the amount of the total Equity Subscription Rights subscribed to under the Rights Offering. 8. Distribution of Preferred Stock On, or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, Core-Mark Newco or a designated disbursing agent shall distribute the Preferred Stock purchased by each Exercising Claim Holder to such Exercising Claim Holder. 9. Fractional Interests No fractional shares shall be issued under the Rights Offering. In determining the Ratable Proportion of Equity Subscription Rights among the participants, each Ratable Proportion shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number. 10. Disputed Claims For all purposes of this section, each Holder of a General Unsecured Claim in Class 6 listed on the Rights Participation Schedule is entitled to participate in the Rights Offering to the extent of its Rights Participation Claim Amount as listed on the Rights Participation Schedule. The entitlement of Holders of General Unsecured Claims in Class 6 to participate in the Rights Offering on the terms set forth herein shall not be affected by whether or not such General Unsecured Claim in Class 6 is Allowed. If any Holder of a General Unsecured Claim in Class 6 is not listed on the Rights Participation Schedule, or disputes the Rights Participation Claim Amount listed on the Rights Participation Schedule, such disputing General Unsecured Claim Holder may file a motion with the Bankruptcy Court at least ten days prior to the Subscription Expiration Date for estimation of their Claim for the purposes of the Rights Offering. Holders filing such a motion with the Bankruptcy Court shall be entitled to participate in the Rights Offering up to the Additional Participation Amount determined by the Bankruptcy Court or agreed to by the Debtors with the consent of the Committee. 11. Subsequent Adjustments to the Rights Participation Claim Amount; Cut Back in Rights Offering Holders of Class 6 Claims listed on the Rights Participation Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit B shall be entitled to participate in the Rights Offering solely to the extent of their Rights Participation Claim Amount. If any Holder of a Class 6 Claim not listed on the Rights Participation Schedule or a Disputing Holder has obtained an order of the Bankruptcy Court estimating its General Unsecured Claim for the purpose of participating in the Rights Offering prior to the Subscription Expiration Date or reached an agreement with the Debtors and the Committee with respect thereto, such Holder shall be entitled to participate in the Rights Offering in the amount determined by the Bankruptcy Court or agreed to by the Debtors with the consent of the Committee. If, as a result of such allowances of General Unsecured Claims for purposes of participation in the Rights Offering and/or as a result of the exercise by the Equity Investor of its minimum purchase rights, more shares of Preferred Stock subject to the Rights Offering have been subscribed for than are available for sale to Exercising Claim Holders, each Exercising Claim Holder (including each Disputing Holder) shall be cut back pro rata based on the number of shares of 25 Preferred Stock for which such Exercising Claim Holder has exercised its Equity Subscription Rights, and the difference between the purchase price paid by such Exercising Claim Holder and the adjusted Subscription Purchase Price shall be refunded to such Exercising Claim Holder, without interest, as soon as practicable after the Effective Date. 12. No Interest In the event the Subscription Purchase Price is repaid to the entity making such payment, no interest shall be paid thereon. 13. Validity of Exercise of Equity Subscription Rights All questions concerning the timelines, validity, form and eligibility of any exercise of Equity Subscription Rights shall be determined by the Debtors, whose determinations shall be final and binding. The Debtors, with the consent of the Committee, may waive any defect or irregularity, or permit a defect or irregularity to be corrected within such times as it may determine, or reject the purported exercise of any Equity Subscription Rights. Subscription Forms shall be deemed not to have been received or accepted until all irregularities have been waived or cured within such time as the Debtors determine, with the consent of the Committee. Neither the Debtors nor the Subscription Agent shall be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity in connection with the submission of Subscription Forms or incur any liability for failure to give such notification. 14. Use of Proceeds On the Effective Date, the proceeds received by the Reorganized Debtors from the Rights Offering shall be used to fund the Cash payments required under the Plan and for general corporate purposes. C. Sale of Assets In the event that the Debtors do not have sufficient Cash from their existing Cash balances on the Effective Date, operations, the Exit Financing Facility, the Rights Offering and pursuit of Causes of Action to make the required payments under the Plan, the Debtors, with the consent of the Committee, reserve the right to fund the Plan through a sale of some or substantially all of the assets of the Debtors under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. ARTICLE VIII. TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES A. Assumption/Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases As of the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided herein, all executory contracts or unexpired leases of the Debtors will be deemed rejected in accordance with the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code except those executory contracts and unexpired leases that (i) have been previously rejected or assumed by Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (ii) are subject to a pending motion to reject or assume, (iii) are executory contracts and unexpired leases related to the Wholesale Distribution Business for which the Option Period to assume or reject such executory contract or unexpired lease has not yet expired or (iv) are specifically listed on the Assumption Schedule filed with the Plan Supplement. The Debtors reserve the right for 30 days after the Confirmation Date to modify the Assumption Schedule to add executory contracts or leases or remove executory contracts or leases from such Assumption Schedule. The Debtors shall provide appropriate notice to any party added or removed from the Assumption Schedule after the Confirmation Date and any such party removed from the Assumption Schedule shall have thirty days from the receipt of such notice to file a proof of claim with the Bankruptcy Court. B. Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases Except as provided in section VIII.A., all proofs of Claim with respect to Claims, if any, arising from the rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases that are rejected as a result of the Plan must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. Any Claims arising from the rejection of an 26 executory contract or unexpired lease not filed within such time or any applicable Contract Claims Bar Date, will be forever barred from asserting against any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, their respective Estates, their property, and the Post Confirmation Trust unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court or provided herein. C. Cure of Defaults for Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Assumed Any monetary amounts by which each executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan is in default shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the default amount in Cash as soon as practicable after the Effective Date or on such other terms as the parties to such executory contracts or unexpired leases may otherwise agree. In the event of a dispute regarding: (i) the amount of any cure payments, (ii) the ability of the applicable Reorganized Debtor or any assignee to provide "adequate assurance of future performance" (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed, or (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption. D. Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees The obligations of each Debtor to indemnify any Person serving at any time on or prior to the Effective Date as one of its directors, officers or employees by reason of such Person's service in such capacity, or as a director, officer or employee of any other corporation or legal entity, to the extent provided in such Debtor's constituent documents, by a written agreement with such Debtor or under Delaware or other applicable corporate law, and specifically excluding any obligation to indemnify the Excluded D&O Releasees listed on Exhibit C attached hereto, shall be deemed and treated as executory contracts that are assumed by such Reorganized Debtor pursuant hereto and section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date. Accordingly, such indemnification obligations shall be treated as obligations of the Reorganized Debtors and shall survive unimpaired and unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order, irrespective of whether such indemnification is owed for an act or event occurring before or after the Petition Date. E. Compensation and Benefit Programs Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all employment and severance agreements and policies, and all compensation and benefit plans, policies, and programs of the Debtors applicable to their employees, former employees, retirees and non-employee directors and the employees, former employees and retirees of their subsidiaries, including, without limitation, all savings plans, retirement plans, health care plans, disability plans, severance benefit agreements and plans, incentive plans, deferred compensation plans and life, accidental death and dismemberment insurance plans shall be treated as executory contracts under the Plan and on the Effective Date will be deemed rejected pursuant to the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, except for those with respect to the Reorganized Debtors' employees specifically designated on the Benefits Schedule filed with the Plan Supplement. ARTICLE IX. PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS A. Distributions for Claims Allowed as of the Effective Date Except as otherwise provided herein or as may be ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, distributions to be made on the Effective Date on account of Claims that are allowed as of the Effective Date and are entitled to receive distributions under the Plan shall be made on the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as practicable. Except as evidenced by an electronic entry, as a condition to receive any distribution under the Plan, each Old Note Holder must comply with section IX.I and IX.K below. All distributions shall be made in accordance with any applicable Indenture agreement, loan agreement or analogous instrument or agreement. 27 B. Distributions by Core-Mark Newco Except as otherwise provided herein, Core-Mark Newco or the Post Confirmation Trust, as applicable, shall make all distributions required under the Plan. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section V.C. herein regarding the cancellation of the Indentures, the Indentures shall continue in effect to the extent necessary to allow the Old Notes Trustees to provide information to the Exchange Agent to permit distributions of the New Common Stock and to receive New Common Stock on behalf of the Holders of the Old Notes and make distributions pursuant to the Plan on account of the Old Notes as agent for Core-Mark Newco. The Old Notes Trustees (or any agents or servicers) providing services related to distributions to the Holders of Allowed Old Note Claims shall receive, from Core-Mark Newco, reasonable compensation for such services and reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such services and upon the presentation of invoices to Core-Mark Newco. All distributions to be made herein shall be made without any requirement for bond or surety with respect thereto. C. Interest on Claims Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein or in the Confirmation Order, or required by applicable bankruptcy law, post-petition interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims, other than the Pre-Petition Lenders' Secured Claims and the DIP Claims, and no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim. D. Compliance with Tax Requirements/Allocations In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Reorganized Debtors shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any governmental unit, and all distributions pursuant hereto shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. For tax purposes, distributions received in respect of Allowed Claims will be allocated first to the principal amount of Allowed Claims with any excess allocated, if applicable, to unpaid interest that accrued on such Claims. E. Delivery and Distributions and Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions 1. Delivery of Distributions in General Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be made at the address of the Holder of such Claim as indicated on the records of Debtors or upon their proofs of Claims, if any, or, if such Holder holds Senior Note Claims, distributions with respect to such Senior Note Claims will be made to the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee which will make distributions to Holders of Old Senior Notes. To the extent the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee makes distributions to DTC, DTC will, in turn, make appropriate book entries to reflect the distributions it makes to Holders. Except as otherwise provided by the Plan or the Bankruptcy Code with respect to undeliverable distributions, distributions to Holders of Old Note Claims shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Indentures. 2. Undeliverable Distributions (a) Holding of Undeliverable Distributions. If any distribution to a Holder of an Allowed Claim is returned to Core-Mark Newco as undeliverable, no further distributions shall be made to such Holder unless and until Core-Mark Newco is notified in writing of such Holder's then-current address. Undeliverable distributions shall remain in the possession of Core-Mark Newco subject to Section IX.E.2(b) below until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable. Undeliverable Cash shall not be entitled to any interest, dividends or other accruals of any kind. As soon as reasonably practicable, Core-Mark Newco shall make all distributions that become deliverable. (b) Failure to Claim Undeliverable Distributions. In an effort to ensure that all Holders of Allowed Claims receive their allocated distributions, as of 120 days after the Effective Date, the Debtors will compile a listing of unclaimed distribution Holders. This list will be maintained for as long as the Chapter 11 Cases stay open. Any Holder of an Allowed Claim (irrespective of when a Claim became an Allowed Claim) that does not assert a Claim pursuant hereto for an undeliverable distribution (regardless of when not deliverable) within one year after the Effective Date shall have its Claim for such undeliverable 28 distribution discharged and shall be forever barred from asserting any such Claim against any Reorganized Debtor or its respective property. In such cases: (i) any Cash held for distribution on account of such Claims shall be the property of Core-Mark Newco, free of any restrictions thereon; and (ii) any New Common Stock held for distribution on account of such Claims shall be canceled and of no further force or effect. Nothing contained herein shall require Core-Mark Newco to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest. (c) Abandoned Property Law. The provisions of the Plan regarding undeliverable distributions will apply with equal force to distributions made pursuant to the Old Note Indentures; notwithstanding any provision in such indenture to the contrary and notwithstanding any otherwise applicable escheat, abandoned or unclaimed property law. F. Distribution Record Date As of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the transfer register for the Old Notes as maintained by the Debtors, the Old Notes Trustees or their agents, shall be closed, and there shall be no further changes in the record Holders of any Old Notes. Moreover, the Reorganized Debtors shall have no obligation to recognize the transfer of any Old Notes occurring after the Distribution Record Date and shall be entitled for all purposes herein to recognize and deal only with those Holders of record as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. G. Timing and Calculation of Amounts to be Distributed Except as otherwise provided herein, on the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, each Holder of an Allowed Claim against the Debtors shall receive the distributions that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims in the applicable Class, provided however, Core-Mark Newco and the Post Confirmation Trust, as applicable, shall maintain reserve accounts in trust for the payment or distribution on account of potential or Disputed Claims and shall make the appropriate adjustments in distributions to adequately take into consideration and fund such reserve accounts. Core-Mark Newco and the Post Confirmation Trust, as applicable, shall be authorized to make interim distributions and any subsequent distributions necessary to distribute any Cash, New Common Stock or other consideration held in any reserve account to the appropriate Claim Holder as claims are resolved and reserves are reduced in accordance with the Plan. If and to the extent that there are Disputed Claims, beginning on the date that is 45 calendar days after the end of the month following the Effective Date and 45 calendar days after the end of each month thereafter, distributions shall also be made, pursuant hereto, to Holders of Disputed Claims in any Class whose Claims were allowed during the preceding month. H. Minimum Distribution The New Common Stock will be issued as whole shares. If a registered record Holder of an Allowed Claim is entitled to the distribution of a fractional share of New Common Stock, unless otherwise determined and approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the fractional distribution to which such Holder would be entitled shall be aggregated with all other such similar distributions by Core-Mark Newco (or its agent), and as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, sold by Core-Mark Newco (or its agent) in a commercially reasonable manner. Upon the completion of such sale, the net proceeds thereof shall be distributed (without interest), pro rata in the case of New Common Stock, to the Holders of Allowed Claims, based upon the fractional share of New Common Stock each such Holder would have been entitled to receive or deemed to hold had Core-Mark Newco issued fractional shares of New Common Stock. Such distributions shall be in lieu of any other distribution. I. Setoffs The Reorganized Debtors may, pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law, set off against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant hereto on account of such Claim (before any distribution is made on account of such Claim), the Claims, rights and Causes of Action of any nature that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may hold against the Holder of such Allowed Claim; provided that neither the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors of any such Claims, rights and Causes of Action that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may possess against such Holder, except as specifically provided herein. 29 J. Old Notes Each record Holder of an Allowed Claim relating to the Old Notes not held through DTC shall either (a) tender its Old Notes relating to such Allowed Claim in accordance with written instructions to be provided to such Holders by the applicable Reorganized Debtor as promptly as practicable following the Effective Date, or (b) if the Holder's Old Note has been destroyed, lost, stolen or mutilated, comply with section IX.K. below. Such instructions shall specify that delivery of such Old Notes will be effected, and risk of loss and title thereto will pass, only upon the proper delivery of such Old Notes with a letter of transmittal in accordance with such instructions. All surrendered Old Notes shall be marked as canceled. If any Holder of Old Notes not held through DTC submits bearer bonds without coupons or coupons only, the Debtors shall adjust the consideration exchanged therefor appropriately. K. Failure to Surrender Canceled Instruments Any Holder of Allowed Claims relating to the Old Notes not held through DTC that fails to surrender or is deemed to have failed to surrender its Old Notes required to be tendered hereunder or that has failed to comply with section IX.K. below within one year after the Effective Date shall have its Claim for a distribution pursuant hereto on account of such Allowed Claim discharged and shall be forever barred from asserting any such Claim against any Reorganized Debtor or their respective properties. In such cases, any New Stock held for distribution on account of such Claim shall be disposed of pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section IX.E. above. L. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Debt Securities In addition to any requirements under the Indentures or any related agreement, any Holder of a Claim evidenced by an Old Note not held through DTC that has been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed shall, in lieu of surrendering such Old Note, deliver to the applicable Reorganized Debtor: (a) an affidavit of loss reasonably satisfactory to such Reorganized Debtor setting forth the unavailability of the Old Note not held through DTC; and (b) such additional security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by such Reorganized Debtor to hold such Reorganized Debtor harmless from any damages, liabilities or costs incurred in treating such individual as a Holder of an Allowed Claim. Upon compliance with this procedure by a Holder of a Claim evidenced by an Old Note, such Holder shall, for all purposes under the Plan, be deemed to have surrendered such non-DTC note. M. Share Reserve In addition to the provisions of Section X.A.3., Core-Mark Newco shall be required to establish and maintain an appropriate reserve of New Common Stock to ensure the distribution of New Common Stock to the Holder of any potential Claim or Disputed Claim. N. Settlement of Claims and Controversies Pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9019 and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of this Plan shall constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of claims or controversies relating to the contractual, legal and subordination rights that a Holder of a Claim may have with respect to any Allowed Claim, or any distribution to be made on account of any such Allowed Claim. ARTICLE X. PROCEDURES FOR RESOLUTION OF DISPUTED, CONTINGENT AND UNLIQUIDATED CLAIMS A. Resolution of Disputed Claims 1. Prosecution of Objections to Claims After the Effective Date, except in regard to objections to Professional fees and other fees, Core-Mark Newco and the Post Confirmation Trustee, as applicable, shall have the exclusive authority to file objections, settle, compromise, withdraw or litigate to judgment objections to Claims on behalf of the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors. From and after the Effective Date, Core-Mark Newco and the Post Confirmation Trustee, as applicable, 30 may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim on behalf of the Reorganized Debtors without approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The party responsible between Core-Mark Newco and the Post Confirmation Trust for the various Claims shall be outlined in the Post Confirmation Trust Agreement. 2. Estimation of Claims Core-Mark Newco and the Post Confirmation Trustee, as applicable, may, at any time, request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any contingent or unliquidated Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code regardless of whether the Debtors, Core-Mark Newco or the Post Confirmation Trust, as applicable, has previously objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim, including during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim, that estimated amount will constitute either the Allowed amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on such Claim, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court. If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on such Claim, Core-Mark Newco and the Post Confirmation Trustee, as applicable, may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate payment on such Claim. All of the aforementioned Claims and objection, estimation and resolution procedures are cumulative and not necessarily exclusive of one another. Claims may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court. 3. Payments and Distributions on Disputed Claims Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, except as otherwise agreed by Core-Mark Newco or the Post Confirmation Trust, as applicable, Core-Mark Newco and the Post Confirmation Trust, as applicable, in their sole discretion shall not make any partial payments or partial distributions with respect to a Disputed Claim until the resolution of such disputes by settlement or Final Order. On the date or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next successive Business Day that is 45 calendar days after the month in which a Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, the Holder of such Allowed Claim will receive all payments and distributions to which such Holder is then entitled under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Person or Entity who holds both an Allowed Claim(s) and a Disputed Claim(s) will not receive the appropriate payment or distribution on the Allowed Claim(s), except as otherwise agreed by Core-Mark Newco or the Post Confirmation Trust, as applicable, until the Disputed Claim(s) is or are resolved by settlement or Final Order. In the event there are Disputed Claims requiring adjudication and resolution, Core-Mark Newco and the Post Confirmation Trust, as applicable, shall establish appropriate reserves for potential payment of such Claims. B. Allowance of Claims Except as expressly provided herein or in any order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases prior to the Effective Date (including the Confirmation Order), no Claim shall be deemed Allowed, unless and until such Claim is deemed Allowed under the Bankruptcy Code and no objection to such Claim has been filed by the Objection Deadline or the Bankruptcy Court enters a Final Order in the Chapter 11 Cases allowing such Claim. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or any order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases prior to the Effective Date (including the Confirmation Order), the Reorganized Debtors and the Post Confirmation Trust, as applicable, after confirmation will have and retain any and all rights, remedies, causes of action and defenses the Debtors had with respect to any Claim as of the date the Debtors filed their petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code. All Claims of any Person or Entity that may owe money to the Debtors shall be disallowed unless and until such Person or Entity pays the amount it owes the Debtors in full. C. Controversy Concerning Impairment If a controversy arises as to whether any Claims, or any Class of Claims, is Impaired under the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court shall, after notice and a hearing, determine such controversy before the Confirmation Date. 31 ARTICLE XI.
