Disputed Claim Reserve.  As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Plan Agent shall establish, on behalf of the Liquidating Debtor, a Disputed Claim Reserve funded with Available Cash in an amount equal to the Distributions reserved for the holders of Disputed Claims.  The Plan Agent shall create a separate account for the Disputed Claim Reserve.  The Disputed Claim Reserve shall be held in trust for the benefit of holders of Allowed Claims whose Distributions are unclaimed and the holders of Disputed Claims pending determination of their entitlement to Distributions under the Plan.  When a Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, the Plan Agent, on behalf of the Liquidating Debtor, shall release and deliver the Distribution reserved for the particular Disputed Claim (net of distribution cost) from the Disputed Claim Reserve 10 days after the Allowance Date or the next Distribution Date.  If the Court disallows the Disputed Claim, the proceeds therefor shall be part of the Available Cash or Estate Property free and clear of any liens, claims, interest, or other encumbrances and shall be distributed in accordance with the Plan.  To the extent any funds held in the Disputed Claim Reserve relate to (i) Administrative Claims or (ii) Class 1 Priority Unsecured Non-Tax Claims or a Priority Unsecured Tax Claims that have either been disallowed by the Bankruptcy Court or are no longer claimed as evidenced by (1) a written release of such Claim or (2) the Claimant’s failure to seek allowance of such Claim within six (6) months from the Effective Date, then such funds shall become Available Cash under the Plan.  The Disputed Claim Reserve shall be dissolved once all required payments have been made.

11.2

Operating Reserve.  As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Plan Agent, on behalf of the Liquidating Debtor, shall establish the Operating Reserve funded periodically with Available Cash in an amount determined by the Plan Agent, to be reasonably necessary to pay anticipated Liquidation Costs, fund litigation, fund contingent liabilities, and otherwise conduct the affairs of the Liquidating Debtor.  The Operating Reserve and the Professional Fee Reserve shall be held in the same bank account.

11.3

Professional Fee Reserve.  On the Effective Date, or as soon as practicable  thereafter, the Plan Agent shall establish the Professional Fee Reserve in an amount equal to the estimated Professional Fees Claims.  The funds in the Professional Fee Reserve shall be used solely for the payment of Allowed Professional Fee Claims.  To the extent funds held in the Professional Fee Reserve that relate to claims that (i) have either been disallowed by the Bankruptcy Court or (ii) are no longer claimed as evidenced by a written release of such Claim or (iii) are disallowable due to the Claimant’s failure to seek allowance of such Claim within sixty (60) days of the Effective Date, then such funds become Available Cash under the Plan.  The Professional Fee Reserve shall be dissolved once all required payments have been made.  Any funds remaining after all required payments have been made will become Available Cash under the Plan.  The Operating Reserve and the Professional Fee Reserve shall be held in the same bank account.

ARTICLE 12


PROVISIONS FOR THE RETENTION, ENFORCEMENT, COMPROMISE

ARTICLE 13


EFFECT OF REJECTION BY ONE OR MORE CLASSES OF CLAIMS

13.1

Impaired Classes to Vote.  Each impaired class of Claims and Interests shall be entitled to vote separately to accept or reject the Plan.  A holder of a Disputed Claim which has not been temporarily allowed for purposes of voting on the Plan may vote only such Disputed Claim in an amount equal to the portion, if any, of such Claim shown as fixed, liquidated and undisputed in the Debtor’s Schedules and is not the subject of a subsequently filed objection as to such fixed, liquidated, undisputed amount.

13.2

Acceptance by Class of Creditors.  A class shall have accepted the Plan if the Plan is accepted by at least two-thirds (2/3) in amount and more than one-half (1/2) in number of the Allowed Claims of such class that have voted to accept or reject the Plan.

13.3

Reservation of Cramdown Rights.  In the event that any impaired class shall fail to accept this Plan in accordance with section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor reserves the right to request the Bankruptcy Court to confirm the Plan in accordance with the provisions of the section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

ARTICLE 14


EFFECT OF CONFIRMATION

14.1

Legally-Binding-Effect.  The provisions of this Plan shall bind all Creditors and Interest holders, whether or not they accept this Plan.  On and after the Effective Date, all holders of Claims shall be precluded and enjoined from asserting any Claim against the Debtor or its assets or properties based on any transaction or other activity of any kind that occurred prior to the Confirmation Date except as permitted under the Plan.

14.2

Revesting of Property in the Debtor.  Subject to the terms of this Plan and the Confirmation Order, upon the Effective Date of the Plan, all property of the Debtor’s estate shall vest in and become the property of the Liquidating Debtor, including without limitation all Claims, causes of action, alter-ego rights, derivative claims, breach of fiduciary duty claims, veil piercing rights and all other property of the estate as such property is defined by § 541 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable Bankruptcy law.

14.3

Liens, Claims and Encumbrances.  Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan or in the Confirmation Order, on the Effective Date of the Plan all property vesting in and becoming property of the Liquidating Debtor shall be free of all Liens, claims and encumbrances.

14.4

Causes of Action.  In keeping with Section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Liquidating Debtor will retain all claims it owned before the Effective Date, including all claims recoverable under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code, including all claims assertable under Sections 544, 546, 547, 548 and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code, and all claims owned by Debtor pursuant to Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code or similar state law, including all claims against third parties on account of any indebtedness, and all other claims owed to or in favor of the Debtor to the extent not specifically compromised and released pursuant to this Plan or an agreement referred to or incorporated herein; all claims the Liquidating Debtor owned before the Effective Date will be preserved and retained for enforcement by the Plan Agent, on behalf of the Liquidating Debtor, after the Effective Date; no other party will have the right to assert these claims.

14.5

Preservation Of Rights Of Action.  Except as otherwise provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, or in any contract, instrument, release, indenture, or other agreement entered into in connection with this Plan, in accordance with Section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan Agent, on behalf of the Liquidating Debtor, will retain and may enforce, sue on, settle, or compromise (or decline to do any of the foregoing) all claims, rights or causes, rights or causes of action, suits, and proceedings, whether in law or in equity, whether known or unknown, that the Debtor or the Estate may hold against any Person.  The Plan Agent or its successor(s), on behalf of the Liquidating Debtor, may pursue the retained claims, rights or causes of action, suits, or proceedings as appropriate, in accordance with the best interests of the Liquidated Debtor or its successor(s) who hold the rights.

14.6

Preferences and Fraudulent Conveyances.  The Plan Agent will be the only party authorized to pursue actions to recover preferences and fraudulent conveyances or any other transaction voidable under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Unless the  Liquidating Debtor consents, or unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, no other party will have the right or obligation to pursue these actions.  

14.7

Setoffs.  The Plan Agent may, but will not be required to, set off against any Claim, and the payments or other Distributions to be made pursuant to this Plan in respect of the Claim, claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtor or Liquidating Debtor may have against the Holder of the Claim, provided, however, that neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder will constitute a waiver or release by the Liquidating Debtor of any claim that the Debtor or Liquidating Debtor may have against the Holder.  The Holder of a Disputed Claim who asserts a right of setoff will retain the right, subject to any defenses of the Debtor or Liquidating Debtor, until the earlier of the time when (a) the Disputed Claim becomes Allowed, in whole or in part, or (b) the claim is expunged by entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court.
