In each case in which the surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation in any such transaction is a successor to a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, such surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation will perform the obligations of the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor pursuant to the Plan to pay or otherwise satisfy the Allowed Claims against such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, except as provided in any contract, instrument or other agreement or document effecting a disposition to such surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation, which may provide that another Reorganized Debtor will perform such obligations. 4.

ASSUMPTION AND ASSIGNMENT GENERALLY Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan, on the Effective Date, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, the applicable Debtor or Debtors will assume or assume and assign, as indicated, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease including those listed on Exhibits V.A.1 and V.A.3, but excluding those listed on Exhibit V.C; provided, however, that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors reserve the right, at any time through and including 90 days after the Effective Date, to amend Exhibit V.A.1 or V.A.3 to: (a) delete any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease listed therein, thus providing for its rejection pursuant to Section V.C; or (b) add any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease thereto, thus providing for its assumption or assumption and assignment pursuant to this Section V.A. The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors will provide notice of any amendments to Exhibit V.A.1 or V.A.3 to the parties to the Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases affected thereby and, if prior to the Effective Date, to the parties on the then-applicable service list in the Reorganization Cases (including counsel to the Creditors' Committee). Listing a contract or lease on Exhibit V.A.1 or V.A.3 will not constitute an admission by a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor that a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder or that such contract or lease is executory. 2. ASSUMPTIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS OF REAL PROPERTY EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES Each (a) Real Property Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease and (b) Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed under Section V.A will include any modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements or other agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument or other document that in any manner affects such contract or lease, irrespective of whether such agreement, instrument or other document is listed on Exhibit V.A.1 or V.A.3, unless any such modification, amendment, supplement, restatement or other agreement is rejected pursuant to Section V.C and is listed on Exhibit V.C. 43 30 3. ASSIGNMENTS RELATED TO THE RESTRUCTURING TRANSACTIONS Any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (including those listed on Exhibit V.A.3 and any related agreements as described in Sections I.A.126 and V.A.2) to be held by any Debtor or another surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation in an applicable Restructuring Transaction will be deemed assigned to the applicable entity, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the Effective Date (irrespective of when the applicable Restructuring Transaction is effected). Nothing in this Section V.A.3 shall restrict, modify or otherwise limit the Debtors' or Reorganized Debtors' right to amend Exhibit V.A.1, V.A.3 or V.C in accordance with Sections V.A.1 and V.C, respectively. 4. APPROVAL OF ASSUMPTIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS The Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the assumptions and assignments described in this Section V.A and Section V.E, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the Effective Date. An order of the Bankruptcy Court entered on or prior to the Confirmation Date will specify the procedures for providing notice to each party whose Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is being assumed or assumed and assigned pursuant to the Plan of: (a) the contract or lease being assumed or assumed and assigned; (b) the Cure Amount Claim, if any, that the applicable Debtor believes it would be obligated to pay in connection with such assumption; and (c) the procedures for such party to object to the assumption or assumption and assignment of the applicable contract or lease or the amount of the proposed Cure Amount Claim. B. PAYMENTS RELATED TO THE ASSUMPTION OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES To the extent that such Claims constitute monetary defaults, the Cure Amount Claims associated with each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan will be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, at the option of the Debtor assuming such contract or lease or the assignee of such Debtor, if any: (1) by payment of the Cure Amount Claim in cash on the Effective Date; (2) after the Effective Date, as soon as practicable after the amendment of Exhibit V.A.1 or V.A.3, as applicable, providing for the assumption or assumption and assignment of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease; or (3) on such other terms as are agreed to by the parties to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. If there is a dispute regarding (1) the amount of any Cure Amount Claim, (2) 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 (3) any other matter pertaining to assumption or assumption and assignment of such contract or lease, the payment of any Cure Amount Claim required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code will be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption. For assumptions of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases between Debtors, the Reorganized Debtor assuming such contract may cure any monetary default (1) by treating such amount as either a direct or indirect contribution to capital or distribution (as appropriate) or (2) through an intercompany account balance in lieu of payment in cash. C. EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES TO BE REJECTED On the Effective Date, except for an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that was previously assumed, assumed and assigned or rejected by an order of the Bankruptcy Court or that is assumed pursuant to Section V.A or V.E (including any related agreements assumed pursuant to Sections I.A.126 and V.A.2), each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease listed on Exhibit V.C. that has not previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms will be rejected pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors reserve the right, at any time through and including 90 days after the Effective Date, to amend Exhibit V.C to: (1) delete any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease listed therein, thus providing for its assumption or assumption and assignment pursuant to Section V.A; or (2) add any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease thereto, thus providing for its rejection pursuant to this Section V.C. The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors will provide notice of any amendments to Exhibit V.C to the parties to the Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases affected thereby and, if prior to the Effective Date, to the parties on the then-applicable service list in the Reorganization Cases (including counsel to the Creditors' Committee). Listing a contract or lease on Exhibit V.C will not constitute an admission by a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor that a Debtor or Reorganized 44 31 Debtor has any liability thereunder or that such contract or lease is executory. The Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such rejections, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the Effective Date. D. BAR DATE FOR REJECTION DAMAGES Notwithstanding anything in the Bar Date Order to the contrary, if the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to Section V.C gives rise to a Claim (including any Claims arising from those indemnification obligations described in Section V.E.2) by the other party or parties to such contract or lease, such Claim will be forever barred and will not be enforceable against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, their respective successors or their respective properties unless a proof of Claim is Filed and served on the Reorganized Debtors, pursuant to the procedures specified in the Confirmation Order and the notice of the entry of the Confirmation Order or another order of the Bankruptcy Court, no later than: (1) 30 days after the Effective Date; or (2) if Exhibit V.C is amended after the Effective Date to provide for the rejection of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, 30 days after the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors serve notice of such amendment. E. OBLIGATIONS TO INDEMNIFY DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES 1. The obligations of each Debtor or Reorganized Debtor to indemnify any person who was serving as one of its directors, officers or employees as of December 31, 2000 by reason of such person's prior or future service in such a capacity or as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership or other legal entity, to the extent provided in the applicable certificates of incorporation, bylaws or similar constituent documents, by statutory law or by written agreement, policies or procedures of or with such Debtor, will be deemed and treated as executory contracts that are assumed by the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor pursuant to the Plan and section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date, to the extent that the provision of such indemnification is authorized by the certificate of incorporation or similar constituent document of the applicable Reorganized Debtor. Accordingly, such indemnification obligations will survive and be 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. 2. The obligations of each Debtor or Reorganized Debtor to indemnify any person who, as of December 31, 2000, was no longer serving as a director, officer or employee of such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, which indemnity obligation arose by reason of such person's prior service in any such capacity or as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership or other legal entity, whether provided in the applicable certificates of incorporation, bylaws or similar constituent documents, by statutory law or by written agreement, policies or procedures of or with such Debtor, will terminate and be discharged pursuant to section 502(e) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, as of the Effective Date; provided, however, that to the extent that such indemnification obligations no longer give rise to contingent Claims that can be disallowed pursuant to section 502(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, such indemnification obligations will be deemed and treated as executory contracts that are rejected by the applicable Debtor pursuant to the Plan and section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the Effective Date, and any Claims arising from such indemnification obligations (including any rejection damage claims) will be subject to the bar date provisions of Section V.D. F. REINSTATEMENT OF ALLOWED SECONDARY LIABILITY CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO EXECUTORY CONTRACTS OR UNEXPIRED LEASES ASSUMED BY THE DEBTORS On the Effective Date, in accordance with Section III.D.1, any Allowed Secondary Liability Claim arising from or related to any Debtor's joint or several liability for the obligations under or with respect to: (1) any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is being assumed or deemed assumed pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code by another Debtor, (2) any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is being assumed by and assigned to another Debtor or (3) a Reinstated Claim will be Reinstated. Accordingly, such Allowed Secondary Liability Claims will survive and be unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order. 45 32 G. CONTRACTS AND LEASES ENTERED INTO AFTER THE PETITION DATE Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor, including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by such Debtor, will be performed by the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor liable thereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Accordingly, such contracts and leases (including any assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases) will survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order. H. NAFTA CONTINGENCY FEE As of the Effective Date and as part of the Reinvestment Transaction, TLGI will assign to Reorganized LGII, and Reorganized LGII will assume, the contingency fee arrangements entered into by TLGI with respect to the NAFTA Claims and approved by an order of the Bankruptcy Court entered on or about October 12, 2000. ARTICLE VI PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS A. DISTRIBUTIONS FOR CLAIMS ALLOWED AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE 1. DISTRIBUTIONS TO BE MADE ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE Except as otherwise provided in this Article VI, distributions of cash, New Five-Year Secured Notes, New Two-Year Unsecured Notes, New Seven-Year Unsecured Notes or New Common Stock to be made on the Effective Date to holders of Claims that are allowed as of the Effective Date will be deemed made on the Effective Date if made on the Effective Date or as promptly thereafter as practicable, but in any event no later than: (a) 60 days after the Effective Date; or (b) such later date when the applicable conditions of Section V.B (regarding cure payments for Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases being assumed), Section VI.E.2 (regarding undeliverable distributions) or Section VI.J (regarding surrender of canceled instruments and securities) are satisfied. Distributions on account of Claims that become Allowed Claims after the Effective Date will be made pursuant to Sections VI.H and VII.C. 2. DISTRIBUTIONS ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE IN RESPECT OF CLASS 9 UNSECURED NONPRIORITY CLAIMS From and after the Effective Date, New Common Stock to be distributed on account of each Division of Class 9 Claims (and any cash generated from dividends or distributions thereon) (a) will be maintained by and in the name of the applicable Disbursing Agent in the applicable Unsecured Claims Reserve in accordance with Article VII and held in trust pending distribution by the Disbursing Agent for the benefit of the holders of such Claims in such Division, (b) will be accounted for separately and (c) will not constitute property of any of the Reorganized Debtors. New Common Stock to be issued and distributed on account of Class 9 Claims will be deemed issued on the Effective Date, irrespective of the date on which it actually is distributed. B. METHOD OF DISTRIBUTIONS TO HOLDERS OF CLAIMS Reorganized LGII, or such Third Party Disbursing Agents as Reorganized LGII may employ in its sole discretion, will make all distributions of cash, New Five-Year Secured Notes, New Two-Year Unsecured Notes, New Seven-Year Unsecured Notes or New Common Stock and other instruments or documents required under the Plan. Each Disbursing Agent will serve without bond, and any Disbursing Agent may employ or contract with other entities to assist in or make the distributions required by the Plan. C. COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR SERVICES RELATED TO DISTRIBUTIONS Each Third Party Disbursing Agent providing services related to distributions pursuant to the Plan will receive from Reorganized LGII, without further Bankruptcy Court approval, reasonable compensation for such 46 33 services and reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such services. These payments will be made on terms agreed to with Reorganized LGII and will not be deducted from distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan to holders of Allowed Claims (including any distributions of Cash Investment Yield) receiving distributions from a Third Party Disbursing Agent. D. PROVISIONS GOVERNING THE UNSECURED CLAIMS RESERVE 1. FUNDING OF THE UNSECURED CLAIMS RESERVE On the Effective Date, the respective number of Reserved Shares will be placed in the applicable Unsecured Claims Reserve by Reorganized LGII for the benefit of holders of Allowed Claims in each Division of Class 9. 2. PROPERTY HELD IN UNSECURED CLAIMS RESERVE a. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS Cash dividends and other distributions on account of New Common Stock to be held in an Unsecured Claims Reserve will be transferred to the respective Unsecured Claims Reserve concurrently with the transfer of such dividends and other distributions to other holders of New Common Stock. Cash held in an Unsecured Claims Reserve as a result of such dividends and other distributions (i) will be deposited in a segregated bank account in the name of the applicable Disbursing Agent and held in trust pending distribution by the Disbursing Agent for the benefit of holders of the respective Division of Class 9 Claims, (ii) will be accounted for separately and (iii) will not constitute property of the Reorganized Debtors. The Disbursing Agent will invest the cash held in the Unsecured Claims Reserve in a manner consistent with the Reorganized Debtors' investment and deposit guidelines. The Disbursing Agent also will place in the Unsecured Claims Reserve the Cash Investment Yield from such investment of cash, and distributions on account of each Allowed Claim in Class 9 will include a Pro Rata share of the Cash Investment Yield from such investment of cash. b. RECOURSE Each holder of an Allowed Claim (or a Disputed Claim that ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim) in Class 9 will have recourse only to the undistributed cash and New Common Stock held in the applicable Unsecured Claims Reserve for satisfaction of the distributions to which holders of that Division of Allowed Claims in Class 9 are entitled under the Plan, and not to any Reorganized Debtor, its property or any assets previously distributed on account of any Allowed Claim. E. DELIVERY OF DISTRIBUTIONS AND UNDELIVERABLE OR UNCLAIMED DISTRIBUTIONS 1. DELIVERY OF DISTRIBUTIONS a. GENERALLY Except as provided in Section VI.E.1.b, distributions to holders of Allowed Claims will be made by a Disbursing Agent (i) at the addresses set forth on the respective proofs of Claim Filed by holders of such Claims, (ii) at the addresses set forth in any written certification of address change delivered to the Disbursing Agent (including pursuant to a letter of transmittal delivered to a Disbursing Agent) after the date of Filing of any related proof of Claim or (iii) at the addresses reflected in the applicable Debtor's Schedules if no proof of Claim has been Filed and the Disbursing Agent has not received a written notice of a change of address. b. SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO HOLDERS OF PUBLIC NOTE CLAIMS Subject to the requirements of Section VI.J, distributions to holders of Allowed Public Note Claims will be made by a Disbursing Agent to the record holders of the Public Notes as of the Distribution Record Date, as identified on a record holder register to be provided to the Disbursing Agent by the applicable Indenture 47 34 Trustee within five Business Days after the Distribution Record Date. Such record holder register: (i) will provide the name, address and holdings of each respective registered holder of Public Notes as of the Distribution Record Date; and (ii) must be consistent with such Indenture Trustee's Allowed proof of Claim. Each entry on such record holder register will be treated as an Allowed Class 5 Claim for purposes of distributions made pursuant to this Article VI. 2. UNDELIVERABLE DISTRIBUTIONS HELD BY DISBURSING AGENTS a. HOLDING AND INVESTMENT OF UNDELIVERABLE DISTRIBUTIONS; UNDELIVERED NEW COMMON STOCK i. If any distribution to a holder of an Allowed Claim is returned to a Disbursing Agent as undeliverable, no further distributions will be made to such holder unless and until the applicable Disbursing Agent is notified by written certification of such holder's then-current address. Subject to Section VI.E.2.c, undeliverable distributions will remain in the possession of the applicable Disbursing Agent pursuant to this Section VI.E.2.a.i until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable. Undeliverable cash (including dividends or other distributions on account of undeliverable New Common Stock) will be held in segregated bank accounts in the name of the applicable Disbursing Agent for the benefit of the potential claimants of such funds. Any Disbursing Agent holding undeliverable cash will invest such cash in a manner consistent with the Reorganized Debtors' investment and deposit guidelines. Undeliverable New Common Stock will be held by the applicable Disbursing Agent for the benefit of the potential claimants of such securities. ii. Pending the distribution of any New Common Stock, the applicable Disbursing Agent will cause all of the New Common Stock held by it in its capacity as Disbursing Agent to be (A) represented in person or by proxy at each meeting of the stockholders of Reorganized LGII, (B) voted in any election of directors of Reorganized LGII for the nominees recommended by the board of directors of Reorganized LGII and (C) voted with respect to any other matter as recommended by the board of directors of Reorganized LGII. b. AFTER DISTRIBUTIONS BECOME DELIVERABLE On each Quarterly Distribution Date, the applicable Disbursing Agents will make all distributions that become deliverable to holders of Allowed Claims during the preceding calendar quarter. Each such distribution will include, to the extent applicable: (i) a Pro Rata share of dividends or other distributions, if any, that were previously paid to the Disbursing Agent in respect of any New Common Stock included in such distribution; and (ii) a Pro Rata share of the Cash Investment Yield from the investment of any undeliverable cash (including dividends or other distributions on undeliverable New Common Stock) from the date that such distribution would have first been due had it then been deliverable to the date that such distribution becomes deliverable. c. FAILURE TO CLAIM UNDELIVERABLE DISTRIBUTIONS Any holder of an Allowed Claim that does not assert a claim pursuant to the Plan for an undeliverable distribution to be made by a Disbursing Agent within two years after the later of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the last date on which a distribution was deliverable to such holder will have its claim for such undeliverable distribution discharged and will be forever barred from asserting any such claim against the Reorganized Debtors or their respective property. In such cases with respect to Allowed Claims in any Division of Class 9: (i) unclaimed cash and New Common Stock will be retained in the applicable Unsecured Claims Reserve for Pro Rata redistribution to holders of Allowed Claims in such Division, pursuant to Section VI.H.2.b; and (ii) for purposes of this redistribution, each Allowed Claim in such Division of Class 9 for which such distributions are undeliverable will be deemed disallowed in its entirety. In such cases with respect to Allowed Claims in any Class other than Class 9, unclaimed distributions will become property of Reorganized LGII, free of any restrictions thereon, and any such unclaimed distribution held by a Third Party Disbursing Agent will be returned to Reorganized LGII. Nothing contained in the Plan will require any Debtor, Reorganized Debtor or Disbursing Agent to attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed Claim. 48 35 F. DISTRIBUTION RECORD DATE 1. A Disbursing Agent will have no obligation to recognize the transfer of, or the sale of any participation in, any Allowed Claim that occurs after the close of business on the Distribution Record Date and will be entitled for all purposes herein to recognize and make distributions only to those holders of Allowed Claims that are holders of such Claims, or participants therein, as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. 2. As of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the respective transfer registers for the Public Notes, as maintained by the Debtors or the Indenture Trustee, will be closed. The applicable Disbursing Agent will have no obligation to recognize the transfer or sale of any Public Note Claim that occurs after the close of business on the Distribution Record Date and will be entitled for all purposes herein to recognize and make distributions only to those holders of Public Note Claims who are holders of such Claims as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. 3. Except as otherwise provided in a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, the transferees of Claims that are transferred pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001 on or prior to the Distribution Record Date will be treated as the holders of such Claims for all purposes, notwithstanding that any period provided by Bankruptcy Rule 3001 for objecting to such transfer has not expired by the Distribution Record Date. G. MEANS OF CASH PAYMENTS Except as otherwise specified herein, cash payments made pursuant to the Plan will be in U.S. currency by checks drawn on a domestic bank selected by the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor or, at the option of the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, by wire transfer from a domestic bank; provided, however, that cash payments to foreign holders of Allowed Trade Claims may be made, at the option of the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction. H. TIMING AND CALCULATION OF AMOUNTS TO BE DISTRIBUTED 1. ALLOWED CLAIMS IN CLASSES OTHER THAN CLASS 9 Subject to Section VI.A, on the Effective Date, each holder of an Allowed Claim in a Class other than Class 9 will receive the full amount of the distributions that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims in the applicable Class. On each Quarterly Distribution Date, distributions also will be made, pursuant to Section VII.C, to holders of Disputed Claims in any such Class that were allowed during the preceding calendar quarter. Such quarterly distributions also will be in the full amount that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims in the applicable Class. 2. ALLOWED CLAIMS IN CLASS 9 a. INITIAL DISTRIBUTIONS The amount of distributions to be made on the Effective Date (subject to Section VI.A) to holders of Allowed Claims in a Division of Class 9 on account of such Claims will be made from the applicable Unsecured Claims Reserve and will be calculated as if each Disputed Claim in such Division were an Allowed Claim in its Face Amount. On each Quarterly Distribution Date, distributions also will be made, pursuant to Section VII.C, to holders of Disputed Claims in a Division of Class 9 that were allowed during the preceding calendar quarter. Such quarterly distributions also will be calculated pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Section VI.H.2.a. b. ADDITIONAL DISTRIBUTIONS ON ACCOUNT OF PREVIOUSLY ALLOWED CLAIMS On the fourth Quarterly Distribution Date and annually thereafter, each holder of a Claim previously allowed in a Division of Class 9 will receive an additional distribution from the applicable Unsecured Claims Reserve on account of such Claim in an amount equal to: (i) the amount of New Common Stock that such 49 36 holder would have been entitled to receive pursuant to Section VI.H.2.a as if such Claim had become an Allowed Claim on the applicable Quarterly Distribution Date, minus (ii) the aggregate amount of New Common Stock previously distributed on account of such Claim. Each such additional distribution also will include, on the basis of the amount then being distributed (i) a Pro Rata share of any dividends or other distributions made on account of the New Common Stock held in the applicable Unsecured Claims Reserve and (ii) a Pro Rata share of the related Cash Investment Yield from the investment of any cash dividends and other distributions in the Unsecured Claims Reserve, from the date such cash was deposited into the Unsecured Claims Reserve to the date that such distribution is made. 3. DISTRIBUTIONS OF NEW COMMON STOCK Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, only whole numbers of shares of New Common Stock will be issued. When any distribution on account of an Allowed Claim would otherwise result in the issuance of a number of shares of New Common Stock that is not a whole number, the actual distribution of shares of such stock will be rounded to the next higher or lower whole number as follows: (a) fractions equal to or greater than -1/2 will be rounded to the next higher whole number and (b) fractions less than -1/2 will be rounded to the next lower whole number. The total number of shares of New Common Stock to be distributed on account of Allowed Claims will be adjusted as necessary to account for the rounding provided for in this Section VI.H.3. No consideration will be provided in lieu of fractional shares that are rounded down. Each share of New Common Stock distributed pursuant to the Plan will be accompanied by one Share Purchase Right. 4. DE MINIMIS DISTRIBUTIONS No Disbursing Agent will distribute cash to the holder of an Allowed Claim in an impaired Class if the amount of cash to be distributed on account of such Claim is less than $25. Any holder of an Allowed Claim on account of which the amount of cash to be distributed is less than $25 will have its claim for such distribution discharged and will be forever barred from asserting any such claim against the Reorganized Debtors or their respective property. Any cash not distributed pursuant to this Section VI.H.4 with respect to Claims in a Class other than Class 9 will be the property of Reorganized LGII, free of any restrictions thereon, and any such cash held by a Third Party Disbursing Agent will be returned to Reorganized LGII. Any cash not distributed pursuant to this Section VI.H.4 with respect to Allowed Claims in a Division of Class 9, including dividends or other distributions made on account of New Common Stock held in an Unsecured Claims Reserve, will be retained in the applicable Unsecured Claims Reserve for redistribution Pro Rata to holders of Allowed Claims in the applicable Division of Class 9, pursuant to Section VI.H.2.b. For purposes of this redistribution, each Allowed Claim in Class 9 for which distributions are less than $25 will have its claim for such distribution discharged and will be forever barred from asserting any such claim against the Unsecured Claims Reserve or otherwise. 5. COMPLIANCE WITH TAX REQUIREMENTS a. In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, each Disbursing Agent will comply with all Tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on it by any governmental unit, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan will be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. Each Disbursing Agent will be authorized to take any actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements. b. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, each entity receiving a distribution of cash, New Five-Year Secured Notes, New Two-Year Unsecured Notes, New Seven-Year Unsecured Notes or New Common Stock pursuant to the Plan will have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any Tax obligations imposed on it by any governmental unit on account of such distribution, including income, withholding and other Tax obligations. I. SETOFFS Except with respect to claims of a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor released pursuant to the Plan or any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document entered into or delivered in connection with the 50 37 Plan, the Reorganized Debtors or, as instructed by the applicable Reorganized Debtor, a Third Party Disbursing Agent may, pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable nonbankruptcy law, set off against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan 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 applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor may hold against the holder of such Allowed Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to effect a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder will constitute a waiver or release by the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor of any claims, rights and causes of action that the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor may possess against such a Claim holder. J. SURRENDER OF CANCELED INSTRUMENTS OR SECURITIES As a condition precedent to receiving any distribution pursuant to the Plan on account of an Allowed Claim evidenced by the notes, instruments, securities or other documentation canceled pursuant to Section IV.I, the holder of such Claim must tender, as specified in this Section VI.J, the applicable notes, instruments, securities or other documentation evidencing such Claim to the applicable Disbursing Agent, together with any letter of transmittal required by such Disbursing Agent. Pending such surrender, any distributions pursuant to the Plan on account of any such Claim will be treated as an undeliverable distribution pursuant to Section VI.E.2. 1. TENDER OF PUBLIC NOTES Except as provided in Section VI.J.2 for lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Public Notes, each holder of a Public Note Claim must tender the applicable Public Notes to the applicable Disbursing Agent in accordance with a letter of transmittal to be provided to such holders by the Disbursing Agent as promptly as practicable following the Effective Date. The letter of transmittal will include, among other provisions, customary provisions with respect to the authority of the holder of the applicable Public Notes to act and the authenticity of any signatures required thereon. All surrendered Public Notes will be marked as canceled and delivered to the appropriate Reorganized Debtor. 2. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED NOTES Any holder of an Allowed Public Note Claim with respect to which the underlying Public Note has been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed must, in lieu of surrendering such Public Note, deliver to the applicable Disbursing Agent (a) evidence satisfactory to the Disbursing Agent of the loss, theft, mutilation or destruction and (b) such security or indemnity as may be required by the Disbursing Agent to hold the Disbursing Agent and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, harmless from any damages, liabilities or costs incurred in treating such individual as a holder of a Public Note. Upon compliance with this Section VI.J.2 by a holder of an Allowed Public Note Claim, such holder will, for all purposes under the Plan, be deemed to have surrendered the applicable Public Note. 3. FAILURE TO SURRENDER PUBLIC NOTES Any holder of an Allowed Public Note Claim that fails to surrender or be deemed to have surrendered the applicable Public Notes within two years after the Effective Date will have its right to distributions pursuant to the Plan on account of such Public Note Claim discharged and will be forever barred from asserting any such Claim against the Reorganized Debtors or their respective property. In such case, any cash, New Five-Year Secured Notes, New Two-Year Unsecured Notes, New Seven-Year Unsecured Notes or New Common Stock held for distribution on account of such Public Note Claim will be treated pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section VI.E.2.c. 4. OTHER NOTES Except as otherwise provided in this Section VI.J, holders of Allowed Claims will be required to tender any notes evidencing such Claims or, if not evidenced by a note, any other instrument evidencing their respective Allowed Claims to the applicable Disbursing Agent as and when such entities receive distributions under the Plan. If any such entity's notes or other instruments evidencing its Allowed Claims are lost, stolen, mutilated or 51 38 destroyed, such entity will be required, in lieu of surrendering such note or other instrument, to deliver to the applicable Disbursing Agent (a) evidence satisfactory to the Disbursing Agent of the loss, theft, mutilation or destruction and (b) such security or indemnity as may be required by the Disbursing Agent to hold the Disbursing Agent and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, harmless from any damages, liabilities or costs incurred in treating such individual as the holder of such Claims. ARTICLE VII PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED CLAIMS A. PROSECUTION OF OBJECTIONS TO CLAIMS 1. OBJECTIONS TO CLAIMS All objections to Claims must be Filed and served on the holders of such Claims by the Claims Objection Bar Date, and, if Filed prior to the Effective Date, such objections will be served on the parties on the then-applicable service list in the Reorganization Cases. If an objection has not been Filed to a proof of Claim or a scheduled Claim by the Claims Objection Bar Date, the Claim to which the proof of Claim or scheduled Claim relates will be treated as an Allowed Claim if such Claim has not been allowed earlier. An objection is deemed to have been timely Filed as to all Tort Claims, thus making each such Claim a Disputed Claim as of the Claims Objection Bar Date. Each such Tort Claim will remain a Disputed Claim until it becomes an Allowed Claim in accordance with Section I.A.4. 2. AUTHORITY TO PROSECUTE OBJECTIONS After the Confirmation Date, only the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors will have the authority to File, settle, compromise, withdraw or litigate to judgment objections to Claims, including pursuant to any alternative dispute resolution or similar procedures previously or hereafter approved by the Bankruptcy Court. After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors will not object to the classification of all CTA Note Claims as Class 5 Claims; provided, however, that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors may object to such Claims on any other grounds. B. TREATMENT OF DISPUTED CLAIMS Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no payments or distributions will be made on account of a Disputed Claim until such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. In lieu of distributions under the Plan to holders of Disputed Claims in Class 9, if allowed, the applicable Unsecured Claims Reserve will be established on the Effective Date to hold property for the benefit of these Claim holders, as well as holders of Allowed Claims in that Division of Class 9. Reorganized LGII will fund each Unsecured Claims Reserve with New Common Stock, as described in Section VI.D.1. C. DISTRIBUTIONS ON ACCOUNT OF DISPUTED CLAIMS ONCE ALLOWED On each Quarterly Distribution Date, the applicable Disbursing Agent will make all distributions on account of any Disputed Claim that has become an Allowed Claim during the preceding calendar quarter. Such distributions will be made pursuant to the provisions of the Plan governing the applicable Class, including the incremental distribution provisions set forth in Section VI.H.2. D. TAX REQUIREMENTS FOR INCOME GENERATED BY UNSECURED CLAIMS RESERVE The recovery of holders of Allowed Claims in a Division of Class 9 consists of the treatment set forth herein and the post-Effective Date interest on the cash portion of such Claims, if any, at a rate determined by the Cash Investment Yield. Therefore, the Reorganized Debtors and the holders of all Allowed Claims in a Division of Class 9 will treat cash distributions of the Cash Investment Yield as interest for all income Tax purposes, and the 52 39 applicable Reorganized Debtor will cause such information returns to be issued to such holders consistent with this treatment as may be required by any governmental unit. The applicable Reorganized Debtor will include in its Tax returns all items of income, deduction and credit of the particular Unsecured Claims Reserve; provided, however, that no distribution will be made to the applicable Reorganized Debtor out of the Unsecured Claims Reserves as a result of this inclusion. The applicable Disbursing Agent will pay, or cause to be paid, out of the funds held in the applicable Unsecured Claims Reserve, any Tax imposed on the Unsecured Claims Reserve (as opposed to the applicable Reorganized Debtor or the holders of Allowed Claims in a Division of Class 9) by any governmental unit with respect to income generated by the funds and New Common Stock held in a Division of Unsecured Claims Reserve. The applicable Disbursing Agent also will file or cause to be filed any Tax or information return related to the applicable Unsecured Claims Reserve that is required by any governmental unit. ARTICLE VIII SUBSTANTIVE CONSOLIDATION OF THE DEBTORS The Debtors reserve the right to seek approval of the Bankruptcy Court for the substantive consolidation of some or all of the Debtors for the purpose of implementing the Plan, including for purposes of voting, Confirmation and distributions to be made under the Plan.

WAIVER OF CONDITIONS TO CONFIRMATION OR THE EFFECTIVE DATE The conditions to Confirmation set forth in Section IX.A and the conditions to the Effective Date set forth in Section IX.B may be waived in whole or part by the Debtors at any time without an order of the Bankruptcy Court. D. EFFECT OF NONOCCURRENCE OF CONDITIONS TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE If each of the conditions to the Effective Date is not satisfied or duly waived in accordance with Section IX.C, then upon motion by the Debtors made before the time that each of such conditions has been satisfied or duly waived and upon notice to such parties in interest as the Bankruptcy Court may direct, the Confirmation Order will be vacated by the Bankruptcy Court; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the Filing of such motion, the Confirmation Order may not be vacated if each of the conditions to the Effective Date is either satisfied or duly waived before the Bankruptcy Court enters an order granting such motion. If the Confirmation Order is vacated pursuant to this Section IX.D: (1) the Plan will be null and void in all respects, including with respect to (a) the discharge of Claims and termination of Interests pursuant to section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) the assumptions, assignments or rejections of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to Sections V.A and V.C; and (2) nothing contained in the Plan will (a) constitute a waiver or release of any claims by or against, or any Interest in, the Debtors or (b) prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtors or any other party in interest. ARTICLE X CRAMDOWN The Debtors request Confirmation under section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to: (a) any impaired Class or Division of Class 9 that does not accept the Plan pursuant to section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code; and (b) any Class that is deemed to have not accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors reserve the right to modify the Plan to the extent, if any, that Confirmation pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code requires modification. 54 41 ARTICLE XI DISCHARGE, TERMINATION, INJUNCTION AND SUBORDINATION RIGHTS A. DISCHARGE OF CLAIMS AND TERMINATION OF INTERESTS 1. Except as provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order, the rights afforded under the Plan and the treatment of Claims and Interests under the Plan will be in exchange for and in complete satisfaction, discharge and release of all Claims and termination of all Interests arising on or before the Effective Date, including any interest accrued on Claims from the Petition Date. Except as provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order, Confirmation will, as of the Effective Date: (a) discharge the Debtors from all Claims or other debts that arose on or before the Effective Date, and all debts of the kind specified in section 502(g), 502(h) or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, whether or not (i) a proof of Claim based on such debt is Filed or deemed Filed pursuant to section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a Claim based on such debt is allowed pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) the holder of a Claim based on such debt has accepted the Plan; and (b) terminate all Interests and other rights of equity security holders in the Debtors. 2. In accordance with the foregoing, except as provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, as of the Effective Date, the Confirmation Order will be a judicial determination of a discharge of all Claims and other debts and liabilities against the Debtors and a termination of all Interests and other rights of equity security holders in the Debtors, pursuant to sections 524 and 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, and such discharge will void any judgment obtained against a Debtor at any time, to the extent that such judgment relates to a discharged Claim or terminated Interest. B. INJUNCTIONS 1. Except as provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, as of the Effective Date, all entities that have held, currently hold or may hold a Claim or other debt or liability that is discharged or an Interest or other right of an equity security holder that is terminated pursuant to the terms of the Plan will be permanently enjoined from taking any of the following actions on account of any such discharged Claims, debts or liabilities or terminated Interests or rights: (a) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or their respective property, other than to enforce any right pursuant to the Plan to a distribution; (b) enforcing, attaching, collecting or recovering in any manner any judgment, award, decree or order against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or their respective property, other than as permitted pursuant to (a) above; (c) creating, perfecting or enforcing any lien or encumbrance against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or their respective property; (d) asserting a setoff, right of subrogation or recoupment of any kind against any debt, liability or obligation due to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors; 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. 2. As of the Effective Date, all entities that have held, currently hold or may hold any claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, causes of action or liabilities that are released pursuant to the Plan, including pursuant to Section IV.F, will be permanently enjoined from taking any of the following actions against any released entity or its property on account of such released claims, 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, right of subrogation or recoupment 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. 3. By accepting distributions 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 XI.B. 55 42 C. TERMINATION OF SUBORDINATION RIGHTS AND SETTLEMENT OF RELATED CLAIMS AND CONTROVERSIES 1. The classification and manner of satisfying all Claims and Interests under the Plan take into consideration all subordination rights, whether arising under general principles of equitable subordination, contract, section 510(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, that a holder of a Claim or Interest may have against other Claim or Interest holders with respect to any distribution made pursuant to the Plan. All subordination rights that a holder of a Claim may have with respect to any distribution to be made pursuant to the Plan will be discharged and terminated, and all actions related to the enforcement of such subordination rights will be permanently enjoined. Accordingly, distributions pursuant to the Plan to holders of Allowed Claims will not be subject to payment to a beneficiary of such terminated subordination rights or to levy, garnishment, attachment or other legal process by a beneficiary of such terminated subordination rights. 2. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all claims or controversies relating to the subordination rights that a holder of a Claim may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or any distribution to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of any Allowed Claim. The entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Bankruptcy Court's approval, as of the Effective Date, of the compromise or settlement of all such claims or controversies and the Bankruptcy Court's finding that such compromise or settlement is in the best interests of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and their respective property and Claim and Interest holders and is fair, equitable and reasonable. ARTICLE XII RETENTION OF JURISDICTION Notwithstanding the entry of the Confirmation Order and the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Bankruptcy Court will retain such jurisdiction over the Reorganization Cases after the Effective Date as is legally permissible, including jurisdiction to: 1. Allow, disallow, determine, liquidate, classify, estimate or establish the priority or secured or unsecured status of any Claim or Interest, including: (a) the resolution of any request for payment of any Administrative Claim; (b) the resolution of any objections to the allowance, priority or classification of Claims or Interests; (c) the approval of the Indenture Trustees' or CTA Trustee's fees and expenses pursuant to Section III.E; and (d) the approval of the Substantial Contribution Claims pursuant to Section III.F; 2. Grant or deny any applications for allowance of compensation or reimbursement of expenses authorized pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or the Plan for periods ending on or before the Effective Date; 3. Resolve any matters related to the assumption, assumption and assignment or rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to which any Debtor is a party or with respect to which any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor may be liable and to hear, determine and, if necessary, liquidate any Claims arising therefrom, including any Cure Amount Claims; 4. Resolve any matters related to the Disposition Properties; 5. Ensure that distributions to holders of Allowed Claims are accomplished pursuant to the provisions of the Plan; 6. Decide or resolve any motions, adversary proceedings, contested or litigated matters and any other matters, including the Retained Claims, and the Recovery Actions to the extent not released hereunder, and grant or deny any applications involving the Debtors that may be pending on the Effective Date or brought thereafter; 7. Enter such orders as may be necessary or appropriate to implement or consummate the provisions of the Plan and all contracts, instruments, releases and other agreements or documents entered into or delivered in connection with the Plan, the Disclosure Statement or the Confirmation Order; 56 43 8. Resolve any cases, controversies, suits or disputes that may arise in connection with the Recovery Actions or the consummation, interpretation or enforcement of the Plan or any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document that is entered into or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any entity's rights arising from or obligations incurred in connection with the Plan or such documents; 9.

Issue injunctions, enforce the injunctions contained in the Plan and the Confirmation Order, enter and implement other orders or take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate to restrain interference by any entity with consummation, implementation or enforcement of the Plan or the Confirmation Order; 11. Enter and implement such orders as are necessary or appropriate if the Confirmation Order is for any reason or in any respect modified, stayed, reversed, revoked or vacated or distributions pursuant to the Plan are enjoined or stayed; 12. Determine any other matters that may arise in connection with or relate to the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Confirmation Order or any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document entered into or delivered in connection with the Plan, the Disclosure Statement or the Confirmation Order; 13. Enter a final decree closing the Reorganization Cases; and 14. Determine matters concerning state, local and federal Taxes in accordance with sections 346, 505 and 1146 of the Bankruptcy Code, including any Disputed Claims for Taxes. ARTICLE XIII MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS A. DISSOLUTION OF THE CREDITORS' COMMITTEE On the Effective Date, the Creditors' Committee will dissolve and the members of the Creditors' Committee will be released and discharged from all duties and obligations arising from or related to the Reorganization Cases. The Professionals retained by the Creditors' Committee and the members thereof will not be entitled to assert any Fee Claim for any services rendered or expenses incurred after the Effective Date, except for services rendered and expenses incurred in connection with any applications for allowance of compensation and reimbursement of expenses pending on the Effective Date or Filed and served after the Effective Date pursuant to Section III.A.1.f.ii.A and in connection with any appeal of the Confirmation Order. B. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and their respective directors, officers, employees and professionals, acting in such capacity, and the Creditors' Committee and its members and professionals will neither have nor incur any liability to any entity for any act taken or omitted to be taken in connection with or related to the formulation, preparation, dissemination, implementation, Confirmation or consummation of the Plan, the Disclosure Statement or any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document created or entered into, or any other act taken or omitted to be taken, in connection with the Plan; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Section XIII.B will have no effect on: (1) the liability of any entity that would otherwise result from the failure to perform or pay any obligation or liability under the Plan or any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document to be entered into or delivered in connection with the Plan; or (2) the liability of any entity that would 57 44 otherwise result from any such act or omission to the extent that such act or omission is determined in a Final Order to have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct. C. MODIFICATION OF THE PLAN Subject to the restrictions on modifications set forth in section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve the right to alter, amend or modify the Plan before its substantial consummation. D. REVOCATION OF THE PLAN The Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan as to any or all of the Debtors prior to the Confirmation Date. If the Debtors revoke or withdraw the Plan as to any or all of the Debtors, or if Confirmation as to any or all of the Debtors does not occur, then, with respect to such Debtors, the Plan will be null and void in all respects, and nothing contained in the Plan will: (1) constitute a waiver or release of any claims by or against, or any Interests in, such Debtors; or (2) prejudice in any manner the rights of any Debtors or any other party. E. SEVERABILITY OF PLAN PROVISIONS If, prior to Confirmation, any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court will have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, and such term or provision then will be applicable as altered or interpreted; provided, however, that any such alteration or interpretation must be in form and substance acceptable to the Debtors. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated by such holding, alteration or interpretation. The Confirmation Order will constitute a judicial determination and will provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms. F. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS The rights, benefits and obligations of any entity named or referred to in the Plan will be binding on, and will inure to the benefit of, any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign of such entity.
