18



 

contribute an additional 25% for those portions of Allowed Claims arising under section 502(h) that result in total Allowed Claims exceeding $14 million.  In the event Allowed Claims in Class 10A exceed $15 million and if a portion of those Allowed Claims arose under 11 U.S.C. section 502(h) on account of recoveries received by the Bank, then the Bank shall contribute an additional 35% for those portions of Allowed Claims arising under section 502(h) that result in total Allowed Claims exceeding $15 million.  By way of example, if total Allowed Claims are $17 million, and $1 million of those claims arose under section 502(h), then the Bank shall contribute $350,000; if total Allowed Claims are $17 million and no portion of those claims arose under section 502(h), then the Bank shall contribute no additional monies; if total Allowed Claims equal $14 million, and $3 million of those claims arose under section 502(h), the Bank shall likewise not contribute any additional monies.  Each holder of an Allowed Claim in Class 10A shall receive the lesser of: (a) an amount equal to such Creditor’s Allowed Claim in Class 10A, or (b) such Creditor’s Pro Rata share of the available sum of monies to be distributed to all holders of Allowed Claims in Class 10A by the Med Creditors’ Trust after payment of the fees and expenses of the Med Creditors’ Trust.

To the extent that the Bank has an Allowed Class 10A Claim, including the Claims of the NCFE Released Parties assigned to the Bank (because insufficient collateral exists to secure the Secured Claims of the Bank and/or NCFE or the liens, security interests, or other encumbrances that are senior in priority to the Secured Claims of the Bank and/or NCFE exceed the fair market value of the collateral securing the Secured Claims), such Claim shall be subordinated to other Allowed Claims in Class 10A and shall receive nothing from the Class 10A Distribution.(1)

 


(1) The Bank’s agreement to subordinate its Unsecured Claim as provided for herein is only effective if the Plan is confirmed by a Final Order.  Nothing in the Plan or the Disclosure Statement shall be construed as acknowledging or authorizing the subordination of the Bank’s Unsecured Claims in the event the Plan is not confirmed.

If the holder of a Disputed Claim (other than a Disputed Class 10A Claim) and the Liquidating Agent agree to a settlement of such holder’s Disputed Claim for an amount not in excess of the face amount of such Disputed Claim, such Claim shall be deemed to be an Allowed Claim as of the Effective Date in an amount equal to the agreed settlement amount without need for further review or approval of the Court.  To the extent that any such settlement will provide for reclassification of all or a portion of the Disputed Claim as a Class 10A Claim, the Liquidating Agent shall provide notice of the proposed settlement (with a 15-day period to object) to the Med Creditors’ Trust Trustee.  If no objection is received by the Med Creditors’ Trust Trustee within the 15-day period and the proposed settlement amount is not in excess of the face amount of such

c.             Allowance of Claims.  Distributions shall be made with respect to any Disputed Claim which becomes an Allowed Claim after the Effective Date on or as soon as practicable after the date on which each Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.  The amount of any distribution shall be calculated, on a Pro Rata basis, so that each Disputed Claim that becomes an Allowed Claim receives an initial distribution equal to the total percentage distributions made prior to the date of such allowance on account of other Allowed Claims under the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

 

d.             Subsequent Distribution Dates.  After the Initial Distribution Date, unless otherwise directed in the Plan or a post-Confirmation Date Final Order , the Liquidating Agent shall make additional distributions at such time as the Liquidating Agent, in the exercise of his or her discretion, deems appropriate, provided that in the reasonable discretion and judgment of the Liquidating Agent, there shall be in the Liquidating Trust Cash in an amount sufficient to render feasible a distribution after making reasonable reserves to pay the expenses (including, but not

j.              Certain Tax Matters.  For all federal and state income tax purposes, the Debtors shall report and treat the transfer of property conveyed to the Liquidating Trust as a sale of such assets at a selling price equal to the fair market value of such assets on the date of the transfer.  For all such purposes, the transferred assets shall be deemed to have the fair market values determined by the Liquidating Agent in his/her/its absolute and sole discretion, and such valuations shall be used by Debtors and the Liquidating Trust for all federal and state income tax purposes.  The Liquidating Trust shall be deemed to be a “disputed ownership fund” within the meaning of Proposed Treasury Regulation section 1.468B-9.  The Debtor shall irrevocably make and constitute the Liquidating Agent as its attorney-in-fact to prepare, make, and file any statement referenced in Proposed Treasury Regulation section 1.468B-9, or, at the election of the Liquidating Agent, shall prepare, make, and file such statement(s) pursuant to instructions issued by the Liquidating Agent.  Any such statement shall be consistent with the provisions of the Plan and the Liquidating Agent’s determination of the fair market values of the property conveyed to the Liquidating Trust.

1.             Purpose of the Litigation Trust.  The Litigation Trust shall be deemed established on the effective date of the CDSI Plan pursuant to the terms of the Litigation Trust Agreement.  The purpose of the Litigation Trust is, among other things, to prosecute the Recovery Rights and distribute any Net Recoveries to the Bank (after payment of the claims and expenses of the Litigation Trust Trustee).  No other Creditors or Entities shall receive any proceeds from the Recovery Rights.

 

31



 

2.             Transfers of the Recovery Rights to the Litigation Trust.  On the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the Recovery Rights shall be irrevocably assigned, transferred and conveyed to the Litigation Trust.

 

3.             Transfer of Sun Accounts Receivable.  On the Effective Date, immediately following the payment in full of the Allowed Claim of Sun Capital or, if there is a disagreement about the amount of the Allowed Claim, upon the establishment of a separate reserve escrow account into which will be deposited an amount equal to the amount of Sun Capital’s Claim as asserted by Sun Capital (or such other amount as may be determined by Order of the Bankruptcy Court) on which Sun Capital’s lien will attach, all purchased accounts receivable shall be transferred by Sun Capital to the Litigation Trust.

 

4.             Management and Powers of the Litigation Trust.  After the Effective Date, the affairs of the Litigation Trust and all assets held or controlled by the Litigation Trust shall be managed under the direction of the Litigation Trust Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Litigation Trust Agreement.  The Bank shall select the Litigation Trust Trustee.  The powers of the Litigation Trust Trustee shall include, without limitation: (a) the initiation and prosecution in every capacity, including as representative of the Estates under section 1123(b)(3)(B) of the Code, of the Recovery Rights assigned to the Litigation Trust; (b) the compromise and settlement of any of the Recovery Rights assigned to the Litigation Trust; (c) effecting distributions of Net Recoveries on the Recovery Rights to the Bank; (d) participation in any post-Confirmation Date motions to amend or modify the Plan or the Litigation Trust Agreement, or appeals from the Confirmation Order as it relates to the Litigation Trust; and (e) participation in actions to enforce or interpret the Plan as it relates to the Litigation Trust.

 

The Litigation Trust Trustee may compromise or settle any Litigation Trust Claim (as defined in the CDSI Plan) without the need for further review or approval of the Court.  However, in the event that any proposed settlement of a Litigation Trust Claim would result in a Class 10A Claim against the Debtor under the terms of the Plan, the Litigation Trust Trustee shall provide the Med Creditors’ Trust Trustee notice of the proposed settlement and a 15-day period to object to the proposed settlement.  If the Med Creditors’ Trust Trustee objects to a proposed settlement

 

32



 

within the 15-day objection period, the Litigation Trust Trustee shall seek Court approval of the proposed settlement, and the objection shall be resolved by the Court.

 

The management and other powers of the Litigation Trust and the rights of all parties with respect to the Litigation Trust and the Litigation Trust Trustee are as more fully described in the CDSI Plan and the Litigation Trust Agreement, which are incorporated herein by this reference.

 

G.            Dissolution

 

Pursuant to the Plan, the Confirmation Order and Nevada law, the Debtor shall cease to exist as a corporate entity and shall be deemed, as a matter of law, dissolved, as of the Dissolution Date.  Prior to the Dissolution Date, the Debtor’s corporate existence will be preserved through the Debtor’s continued compliance with all corporate formalities necessary to maintain such existence, including without limitation making the requisite corporate filings with the Nevada Secretary of State and having a board of directors and officers.

 

H.            Termination of SEC Registration and Reporting

 

Pursuant to the Plan and Confirmation Order, all of the Class 13 Interests shall be deemed, as a matter of law, cancelled, as of the Stock Cancellation Date.  On or immediately after the Stock Cancellation Date, the Debtor will file an SEC Form 15 (and/or other appropriate filings) with the Securities and Exchange Commission to effect a termination of registration of any class of Debtor’s securities under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and the Debtor’s obligation to file any reports, forms, schedules or other disclosure under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.  Prior to the Stock Cancellation Date, the Debtor shall maintain the currently outstanding stock of the Debtor.

 

If the Stock Cancellation Date occurs prior to the Dissolution Date, then the Debtor shall cause shares to be issued (to an Entity, for such consideration and pursuant to such other terms, as are reasonably acceptable to the Bank and approved by the Court) such that the Debtor continues to have outstanding shares; provided, any such issuance shall be conducted such that it does not constitute a public offering of securities pursuant to state and federal securities laws.

 

33



 

I.              Reconstitution of Board and Officers

 

Pursuant to Section 78.622(1)(b) of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the Court shall appoint an officer (“Designated Med Officer”) to carry out any proceeding and do any act directed by the Court relating to or necessary to implement the Plan, including all acts specified in Section 78.622(2) of said statute.  Pursuant to Section 78.622(2) of said statute, all officers and directors of the Debtor shall be removed as of the Effective Date; the number of members of the Debtor’s board of directors shall be reduced to one (1); and the Designated Med Officer shall be appointed as of the Effective Date to serve as the sole director and as president, secretary, and treasurer of the Debtor.  The Designated Med Officer shall effect any amendments to the Debtor’s articles of incorporation or bylaws as are necessary to implement the foregoing.  Alex Bromley, who is currently an officer of the Debtor, shall be the initial Designated Med Officer.  Prior to November 1, 2004, upon the request of the Bank, the individual serving as the Designated Med Officer shall be removed from any or all officer and director positions with the Debtor.  On and after November 1, 2004, if requested by the NCFE Released Parties, the individual then serving as the Designated Med Officer shall resign from such positions and shall be replaced in these capacities.  In the event that a replacement of the Designated Med Officer is required (whether by reason of removal, resignation or incapacity) then, prior to November 1, 2004, a replacement selected by the Bank shall serve as the Designated Med Officer, and, on or after November 1, 2004, a replacement selected by the NCFE Released Parties (and reasonably acceptable to the Bank) shall serve as the Designated Med Officer.  Should a replacement of the Designated Med Officer be required, notice of same will be provided to the Committee and the Bank, who will have an opportunity to request a hearing before the Court with respect to the qualifications of the person(s) selected to replace the Designated Med Officer.

2.             For the period following the Effective Date of the Debtor Plan and through the date that the Debtor is dissolved as a corporate entity, the Bank, CDSI, the Debtor and the TLC Debtors shall treat the Debtor’s consolidated tax group as continuing in existence, with the Debtor (as common parent) and the TLC Debtors as the sole members of such group.

 

3.             The Bank, CDSI, the Debtor, the NCFE Released Parties and the TLC Debtors shall treat the transfer of the CDSI stock to the Bank as a taxable transfer of the CDSI stock and will report the transfer as such on all returns, statements, filings, etc.  The Debtor and CDSI will not take any actions that would undermine such treatment.

 

4.             The TLC Debtors will be responsible for paying any federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) liability of the Debtor’s consolidated tax group for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2004.

 

5.             The TLC Debtors will be responsible for paying any federal tax liability of the Debtor’s consolidated group relating to the net income for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2004 (and any later years if the TLC Asset Sale does not close in the current year) generated by the TLC Debtors, and up to $250,000 of federal tax liability relating to any taxable gain recognized on the disposition of the CDSI stock, and the Debtor and CDSI will be responsible for paying any federal AMT liability of the Debtor’s consolidated group relating to any other net income for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2004 (and any later years if the TLC Asset Sale does not close in the current year, although CDSI will not be liable for such later years) generated by the Debtor and its subsidiaries other than the TLC Debtors (less the up to $250,000 payable by the TLC Debtors with respect to the CDSI stock gain).

 

6.             The TLC Debtors will be responsible for paying any combined/unitary tax liability in California and Illinois for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2004 and forward to the extent of the lesser of such combined/unitary tax liability or such tax liability computed as if the TLC Debtors filed their own combined/unitary returns in California and Illinois for such years.

 

35



 

7.             The Debtor or the Debtor’s substitute agent as designated pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.1502-77 (which shall be CDSI for any taxable year in which CDSI was a member of the Debtor’s consolidated group and which will be the Liquidating Trust for any taxable year beginning after CDSI leaves the Debtor’s consolidated group, will be responsible for preparing and filing all consolidated and combined tax returns.  The TLC Debtors and CDSI will each have the right to review and comment on all such returns and such returns will not be filed without the consent of each of CDSI and the TLC Debtors, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  CDSI and the TLC Debtors will each be entitled to participate, at their own expense, in any audit or other similar proceeding relating to the tax returns in which CDSI or the TLC Debtors, respectively, are included and no such audit or similar proceeding will be settled/compromised without the written consent of, respectively, CDSI or the TLC Debtors, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

 

8.             The TLC Debtors will be responsible for providing the appropriate responsible person described in paragraph 7 above with all relevant information with respect to the TLC Debtors for filing such consolidated and combined returns.

RELEASE OF CLAIMS; INJUNCTIONS; MODIFICATION; MISCELLANEOUS

 

A.            Releases of Claims.  The treatment of the Claims of the Bank and the NCFE Released Parties under the Plan represents the product of extensive negotiations between the Debtor, the Bank and the NCFE Released Parties and embodies an agreement reached between the parties.  In exchange for the treatment of the NCFE Released Parties’ Claims as set forth in the

 

38



 

Plan, the Debtor, the Estate and the Committee hereby release the Bank, the NCFE Released Parties and the TLC Debtors (subject to and conditioned upon the Debtor’s receipt of a reciprocal release from the TLC Debtors), together with their respective predecessors, successors and assigns, from, and with respect to any and all manner of action and actions, cause and causes of action, debts, demands, suits, disputes, breaches of contracts, controversies, damages, accounts, disgorgement rights, executions, and any claims or other remedies, whether now known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, past, present or future, asserted or unasserted, contingent or liquidated, whether in contract, in tort or otherwise, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the Med Adversary Proceeding, which the Debtor, the Estate and/or the Committee ever had or now have, claim to have had, or hereafter can, shall or may claim to have against the Bank, the NCFE Released Parties and the TLC Debtors, including but not limited to the NCFE Claims.  Additionally, the Debtor shall cause its Debtor and non-debtor subsidiaries to issue releases to the NCFE Released Parties and the TLC Debtors in accordance with this provision.

 

In exchange for the treatment of the Debtor’s claims asserted in the bankruptcy cases of the NCFE Released Parties and the TLC Debtors, and the foregoing releases, and with the exception of (i) the Bank’s claims against, and equity interests in, the TLC Debtors assigned by the Bank to the NCFE Released Parties under the settlement agreement between the Bank and the NCFE Released Parties referred to below and (ii) the obligations of the Bank under that settlement agreement, the NCFE Released Parties and the TLC Debtors release the Bank, the Debtor, the Estate, and the Committee together with their respective predecessors, successors and assigns (collectively the “Released Parties”) of, from, and with respect to any and all manner of action and actions, cause and causes of action, debts, demands, suits, disputes, breaches of contracts, controversies, damages, accounts, disgorgement rights, executions, and any claims or other remedies, whether now known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, past, present or future, asserted or unasserted, contingent or liquidated, whether in contract, in tort or otherwise, at law or in equity, which the NCFE Released Parties or the TLC Debtors ever had or now have, claim to have had, or hereafter can, shall or may claim to have against the Released Parties.

Confirmation of the Plan shall constitute Court approval of the compromises reflected herein.  The releases contained in this section shall become effective on the Effective Date.

 

B.            Limitation of Liability.  Neither (a) the Debtor, nor any of its employees, officers, or directors employed as of the date of the Plan, (b) the Committee or its members, acting solely in such capacity, (c) the Med Creditors’ Trust Trustee, (d) the Litigation Trust Trustee, (e) the Liquidating Agent, (f) the Facilitator, (g) the NCFE Released Parties, or (h) the Bank, nor any professional persons employed by any of the foregoing during the pendency of this case, shall have or incur any liability to any person or entity for any act taken or omission made in good faith in connection with, or relating to, the Chapter 11 Case, any possible

41



 

As of the Effective Date, all Entities that have held, currently hold or may hold any claims, obligations, suits, judgment, damages, demands, debts, rights, causes of action or liabilities that are released pursuant to the Plan will be permanently enjoined from taking any of the following actions against any Entity released pursuant to the Plan or its property on account of such released claim, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, causes of action or liabilities: (a) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding; (b) enforcing, attaching, collecting or recovering in any manner any judgment, award, decree or order; (c) creating, perfecting or enforcing any lien or encumbrance; (d) asserting a setoff or right of subrogation of any kind against any debt, liability or obligation due to any released entity; and (e) commencing or continuing any action, in any manner, in any place that does not comply with or is inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan; provided, however, that nothing contained herein or elsewhere in the Plan shall be deemed to affect the right of any entity to exercise, on or after the Effective Date, any right left unaffected by section 553(a) of the Bankruptcy Code to set off a debt owing by such entity to the Debtor (or its assignee under the Plan) that arose prior to the Petition Date against an Allowed Claim of such entity against the Debtor that arose prior to the Petition Date.

 

By accepting distribution pursuant to the Plan, each holder of an Allowed Claim receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan will be deemed to have specifically consented to the injunctions set forth in this section.
