     Except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim agrees to a less favorable treatment or has been paid by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date, on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, and in exchange for, each Allowed Priority Tax Claim, at the Debtors’ option (subject to the consent of the Requisite Consenting Lenders), each Holder of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim shall receive on account of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim: (1) Cash in an amount equal to the amount of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim; (2) Cash in an aggregate amount of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim payable in installment payments over a period of time not to exceed five (5) years after the Petition Date, pursuant to section 1129(a)(9)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code; or (3) such other treatment as may be agreed upon by such Holder and the Debtors or otherwise determined upon an order of the Bankruptcy Court. To the extent any Allowed Priority Tax Claim is not due and owing on the Effective Date, such claim shall be paid in full in cash in accordance with the terms of any agreement between the Debtors and such holder, or as may be due and payable under applicable non-bankruptcy law or in the ordinary course of business.
C. Other Priority Claim
     Each Holder of an Allowed Other Priority Claim due and payable on or before the Effective Date shall receive, on the Distribution Date, at the option of the Debtors (subject to the consent of the Requisite Consenting Lenders), one of the following treatments: (1) Cash in an amount equal to the amount of such Allowed Other Priority Claim or (2) such other treatment as may be agreed upon by such Holder and the Debtors or otherwise determined upon an order of the Bankruptcy Court.

ARTICLE III.
CLASSIFICATION AND TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS
A. Classification of Claims and Interests
     Pursuant to section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code, set forth below is a designation of Classes of Claims against and Interests in the Debtors. A Claim or Interest is classified in a particular Class only to the extent that the Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of that Class and is classified in other Classes to the extent that any portion of the Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of such other Classes. A Claim or Interest is also classified in a particular Class for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan only to the extent that such Claim or Interest is an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest in that Class and has not been paid, released or otherwise satisfied prior to the Effective Date. If there are no Claims or Interests in a particular Class, then such Class of Claims or Interests shall not exist for all purposes of the Plan.
B. Substantive Consolidation of the Debtors
     The Plan is premised on the substantive consolidation of all of the Debtors with respect to the voting and treatment of all Claims and Equity Interests except for the Other Secured Claims in Class 1 as provided below. This Plan shall serve as a request by the Debtors, in lieu of a separate motion, to the Bankruptcy Court, that it grant substantive consolidation solely with respect to the voting and treatment of all Claims and Equity Interests other than Class 1 Claims: on the Effective Date, (a) all assets and liabilities of the Debtors will be merged or treated as though they were merged (except to the extent they secure any Allowed Other Secured Claim); (b) all guarantees of the Debtors of the obligations of any other Debtor and any joint or several liability of any of the Debtors shall be eliminated; and (c) each and every Claim or Interest (except for Other Secured Claims) against any Debtor shall be deemed Filed against the consolidated Debtors and all Claims (except for Other Secured Claims) Filed against more than one Debtor for the same liability shall be deemed one Claim against any obligation of the consolidated Debtors. For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors will not be substantively consolidated for any purpose other than as set forth in the Plan or Confirmation Order.
C. Summary of Classification
     The classification of Claims and Interests against the Debtors pursuant to the Plan is as follows:
SUMMARY OF STATUS AND VOTING RIGHTS
             
Class   Claim/Interest   Status   Voting Rights
 
1
  Other Secured Claims   Unimpaired   Not Entitled to Vote
 
          (Deemed to Accept)
2
  First Lien Debt Claims   Impaired   Entitled to Vote
3
  General Unsecured Claims   Unimpaired   Not Entitled to Vote
 
          (Deemed to Accept)
4
  510(b) Claims   Impaired   Not Entitled to Vote
 
          (Deemed to Reject)
5
  Intercompany Interests   Unimpaired   Not Entitled to Vote
 
          (Deemed to Accept)
6
  Equity Interests   Impaired   Not Entitled to Vote
 
          (Deemed to Reject)
D. Treatment of Claims and Interests
     1. Class 1 — Other Secured Claims
  (a)   Classification: Each Class 1 Claim is an Other Secured Claim against the applicable Debtor. With respect to each Debtor, this Class will be further divided into subclasses designated by letters of the alphabet (Class 1A, Class 1B and so on), so that each holder

(15)


 

      of any Other Secured Claim against such Debtor is in a Class by itself, except to the extent that there are Other Secured Claims that are substantially similar to each other and may be included within a single Class.
  (b)   Treatment: The legal, equitable and contractual rights of the Holders of Other Secured Claims will not be altered by this Plan. Except to the extent a Holder of an Other Secured Claim has been paid by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date or the Holder of an Allowed Other Secured Claim and the Debtors agree otherwise, each Holder of an Allowed Other Secured Claim (including any Claim for postpetition interest accrued until the Effective Date at the non-default rate provided in the applicable contract or, if there is no contract, then at the Federal Judgment Rate, to the extent permissible under Bankruptcy Code section 506(a)) shall receive, in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, and in exchange for, such Allowed Other Secured Claim, in the discretion of the Debtors (subject to the consent of the Requisite Consenting Lenders), one of the following alternative treatments:
  (i)   payment of the Allowed Class 1 Claim in full in Cash on the later of the Distribution Date or as soon as practicable after a particular Claim becomes Allowed;
 
  (ii)   delivery to the Holder of the Allowed Class 1 Claim of the collateral securing such Allowed Class 1 Claim;
 
  (iii)   such other treatment as may be agreed to by the applicable Debtor and the Holder; or
 
  (iv)   the Holder shall retain its Lien on such property and such Allowed Class 1 Claim shall be Reinstated pursuant to section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.
  (c)   Voting: Class 1 is Unimpaired. Holders of Class 1 Claims are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code and, therefore, Holders of such Other Secured Claims are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
     2. Class 2 — First Lien Debt Claims
  (a)   Classification: Class 2 consists of all First Lien Debt Claims.
 
  (b)   Treatment: On or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of and in exchange for each First Lien Debt Claim, each Holder of such First Lien Debt Claim shall receive their share, on a Pro Rata basis, of: (i) the New Term Loan; (ii) the New PIK Loan; and (iii) their Pro Rata share of 100% of the New Equity of Parent outstanding as of the Effective Date, subject to dilution on account of the Management Equity Incentive Program. Notwithstanding section 1141(c) or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, all prepetition liens on property of the Debtors held by or on behalf of the Class 2 Holders of First Lien Debt Claims with respect to such Claims shall survive the Effective Date and continue in accordance with the contractual terms of the underlying agreements with such Holders until, as to each such Holder, the Claims of such Holder are satisfied in full in accordance with the terms hereof.
 
      The Holders of Allowed Class 2 First Lien Debt Claims are entitled to receive the distributions provided pursuant to the Plan to Holders of Allowed Class 6 Allowed Equity Interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders of Allowed Class 2 First Lien Debt Claims have agreed to or are deemed to have agreed to transfer their right to

(16)


 

      receive such distribution in favor of the Holders of Allowed Class 6 Allowed Equity Interests, which shall receive the treatment described in accordance with Article III.D.6 hereof.
 
  (c)   Voting: Class 2 is Impaired. Holders of Class 2 First Lien Debt Claims are entitled to vote on this Plan.
     3. Class 3 — General Unsecured Claims
  (a)   Classification: Class 3 consists of all General Unsecured Claims.
 
  (b)   Treatment: Except to the extent that a Holder of a General Unsecured Claim agrees to a less favorable treatment, in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of and in exchange for each General Unsecured Claim, on or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date or when such obligation becomes due in the ordinary course of business in accordance with applicable law or the terms of any agreement that governs such General Unsecured Claim, whichever is later, each Holder of such General Unsecured Claim shall be paid in full in Cash, or otherwise receive such treatment as to render such Holder Unimpaired; provided, however, that no Holder of a General Unsecured Claim shall receive any distribution for any Claim which has previously been satisfied pursuant to a Final Order of this Bankruptcy Court.
 
  (c)   Voting: Class 3 is Unimpaired. Holders of a Class 3 General Unsecured Claim are conclusively presumed to have accepted this Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code and, therefore, Holders of such General Unsecured Claims are not entitled to vote to accept or reject this Plan.
     4. Class 4 — Section 510(b) Claims
  (a)   Classification: Class 4 consists of all Section 510(b) Claims.
 
  (b)   Treatment: On the Effective Date, all Section 510(b) Claims shall be deemed canceled and extinguished, and shall be of no further force and effect.
 
  (c)   Voting: Class 4 is Impaired. Holders of a Class 4 Section 510(b) Claim are conclusively presumed to have rejected this Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code and, therefore, Holders of such Section 510(b) Claims are not entitled to vote to accept or reject this Plan.
     5. Class 5 — Intercompany Interests
  (a)   Classification: Class 5 consists of all Intercompany Interests.
 
  (b)   Treatment: Intercompany Interests shall be retained and the legal, equitable and contractual rights to which Holders of such Allowed Intercompany Interests are entitled shall remain unaltered, except as otherwise provided herein.
 
  (c)   Voting: Class 5 is Unimpaired. Holders of Class 5 Intercompany Interests are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code and, therefore, Holders of Class 5 Intercompany Interests are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
     6. Class 6 — Equity Interests
  (a)   Classification: Class 6 consists of all Equity Interests.

(17)


 

  (b)   Treatment: On the Effective Date, all Equity Interests shall be deemed canceled and extinguished, and shall be of no further force and effect. Each holder of an Equity Interest shall receive their Pro Rata share of the Transferred Cash; provided, however, that if Class 2 votes to reject the Plan, no distribution of the Transferred Cash shall be made to Holders of Equity Interests.
 
  (c)   Voting: Class 6 is Impaired. Holders of Class 6 Equity Interests are conclusively presumed to have rejected this Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code and, therefore, Holders of such Equity Interests are not entitled to vote to accept or reject this Plan.
E. Special Provision Governing Unimpaired Claims
     Except as otherwise provided herein, nothing under this Plan shall affect the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ rights and defenses in respect of any Claim or Interest that is Unimpaired under this Plan, including, without limitation, all rights in respect of (1) legal and equitable defenses to, (2) setoff or recoupment against or (3) counter-claims with respect to any such Unimpaired Claims and Interests.
F. Discharge of Claims
     Pursuant to section 1141(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, all Claims and Interests that are not expressly provided for and preserved herein (or in any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document created pursuant to the Plan and acceptable to the Requisite Consenting Lenders and the Debtors) shall be extinguished upon Confirmation, and the Debtors and all property dealt with herein shall be free and clear of all such claims and interests, including, without limitation, liens, security interests and any and all other encumbrances.
ARTICLE IV.
ACCEPTANCE REQUIREMENTS
     Pursuant to section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code and except as otherwise provided in section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, an impaired class of claims has accepted the applicable Plan if the Holders of at least two-thirds in dollar amount and more than one-half in number of Allowed Claims in such Class actually voting have voted to accept the applicable Plan.
A. Acceptance or Rejection of this Plan
     1. Voting Classes
     Class 2 is Impaired under the Plan and is entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
     2. Presumed Acceptance of this Plan
     Classes 1, 3 and 5 are Unimpaired under the Plan and are, therefore, conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code.
     3. Presumed Rejection of this Plan
     Classes 4 and 6 are Impaired and the claims or interests of Classes 4 and 6 do not entitle the holders of such claims or interests to receive or retain any property under the Plan on account of such claims or interests, and, therefore, Classes 4 and 6 are deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(18)


 

B. Confirmation of this Plan Pursuant to Sections 1129(a)(10) and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code
     Section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be satisfied for purposes of Confirmation by acceptance of this Plan by an Impaired Class. The Debtors request Confirmation of this Plan under section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Impaired Class that does not accept this Plan pursuant to section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors reserve the right to modify this Plan in accordance with Article XIII hereof to the extent, if any, that Confirmation pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code requires modification.
C. Controversy Concerning Impairment
     If a controversy arises as to whether any Claims or Interests (or any Class of Claims or Interests) are Impaired under this Plan, the Bankruptcy Court shall, after notice and a hearing, determine such controversy on or prior to the Confirmation Date.
ARTICLE V.
MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN
A. New Term Loan/New PIK Loan/Permitted Indebtedness
     On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors are authorized to execute and deliver those documents necessary or appropriate to obtain the New Term Loan, the New PIK Loan, and the Permitted Indebtedness without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or vote, consent, authorization or approval of any person.
B. Sources of Cash for Plan Distributions and Transfers of Funds Among Debtors
     All consideration necessary for the Reorganized Debtors to make payments or distributions pursuant hereto shall be obtained from the New Term Loan, the New PIK Loan or other Cash from the Debtors, including Cash from business operations. Further, 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 the Reorganized Debtors to satisfy their obligations under the Plan. Except as set forth herein, any changes in intercompany account balances resulting from such transfers will be accounted for and settled in accordance with the Debtors’ historical intercompany account settlement practices and will not violate the terms of the Plan.
C. Issuance of New Equity
     The issuance of the New Equity and options or other equity awards reserved for the Management Equity Incentive Program is authorized without the need for any further corporate action or without any further action by a Holder of Claims or Interests. On the Effective Date, the New Equity shall be issued to the Holders of First Lien Debt Claims.
     All of the shares of New Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, as applicable, and all Special Warrants, if any, will be duly authorized and validly issued. Each distribution and issuance referred to in Article VII hereof shall be governed by the terms and conditions set forth herein applicable to such distribution or issuance and by the terms and conditions of the instruments evidencing or relating to such distribution or issuance, which terms and conditions shall bind each Entity or Person receiving such distribution or issuance.
D. Stockholders Agreement
     Upon the Effective Date, the Stockholders Agreement shall be deemed to become valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms. The Stockholders Agreement shall contain provisions governing the rights and obligations of Holders of New Equity in form and substance acceptable to the Requisite Consenting Lenders.

(19)


 

E. Special Warrants
     Each Holder of a First Lien Debt Claim shall be entitled to receive their Pro Rata share of 100% of the New Equity of Reorganized Parent as New Common Stock; provided that, to the extent that any Holder of First Lien Debt Claims does not deliver a written certification in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Lenders to the effect that such Holder of a First Lien Debt Claim is a U.S. Person and that the direct and indirect voting and economic interests of such Person are 100% held by U.S. Persons for purposes of Section 310(b) of the Communications Act as interpreted and applied by the FCC and otherwise comply with the Communications Act and FCC implementing rules, such Holder of a First Lien Debt Claim may instead be required by the Required Lenders to receive Special Warrants for an equivalent number of shares of New Common Stock (which such Special Warrants shall entitle the holder thereof to the same economic rights as if such holder had been issued such shares of New Common Stock). Each Holder who fails to deliver such written certification shall be referred to as a “Non-U.S. Holder.” The Required Lenders will review all written certifications provided by Non-U.S. Holders, if any, and, based upon such written certifications (or lack of such written certifications, if any written certifications are not provided), direct the issuance of Special Warrants in lieu of New Common Stock to one or more of the Non-U.S. Holders in the Required Lenders sole discretion such that, after giving effect to such issuances, at least 75% of the New Common Stock is held, both directly and indirectly, by U.S. Persons for purposes of Section 310(b) of the Communications Act as interpreted and applied by the FCC.
F. Listing of New Equity and Transfer Restrictions
     The Reorganized Debtors shall not be obligated (other than as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement), and do not intend, to list the New Equity on a national securities exchange. In order to ensure that the Reorganized Debtors will not become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act, except in connection with a public offering, the Corporate Governance Documents will impose certain trading restrictions to limit the number of record holders thereof. The New Equity will be subject to certain transfer and other restrictions pursuant to the Corporate Governance Documents.
G. Cancellation of Securities and Agreements
     On the Effective Date, except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan: (1) the obligations of the Debtors under the Prepetition Credit Agreement, the Specified Swap Agreements and any other Certificate, share, note, bond, indenture, purchase right, option, warrant or other instrument or document directly or indirectly evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligation of or ownership interest in the Debtors giving rise to any Claim or Interest (except such Certificates, notes or other instruments or documents evidencing indebtedness or obligations of the Debtors that are specifically reinstated pursuant to the Plan), shall be cancelled solely as to the Debtors, and the Reorganized Debtors shall not have any continuing obligations thereunder; and (2) the obligations of the Debtors pursuant, relating or pertaining to any agreements, indentures, certificates of designation, bylaws, or certificate or articles of incorporation or similar documents governing the shares, Certificates, notes, bonds, indentures, purchase rights, options, warrants or other instruments or documents evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligation of the Debtors (except such agreements, Certificates, notes or other instruments evidencing indebtedness or obligations of the Debtors that are specifically reinstated pursuant to the Plan) shall be released and discharged; provided, however, notwithstanding Confirmation or the occurrence of the Effective Date, any agreement that governs the rights of the Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest shall continue in effect solely for purposes of allowing such Holders to receive distributions under the Plan as provided herein.
H. Restructuring Transactions
     On the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Reorganized Debtors may take all actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect any transaction described in, approved by, contemplated by or necessary to effectuate the Plan, subject to the consent of the Requisite Consenting Lenders, including: (1) the execution and delivery of appropriate agreements or other documents of merger, consolidation, restructuring, conversion, disposition, transfer, dissolution or liquidation containing terms that are consistent with the terms of the Plan and that satisfy the applicable requirements of applicable law and any other terms to which the applicable Entities may agree; (2) the execution and delivery of appropriate instruments of transfer, assignment, assumption or delegation of any asset, property, right, liability, debt or obligation on terms consistent with the terms of the Plan

(20)


 

and having other terms for which the applicable entities agree; (3) the filing of appropriate certificates or articles of incorporation, reincorporation, merger, consolidation, conversion or dissolution pursuant to applicable state law; and (4) all other actions that the applicable Entities determine to be necessary or appropriate, including making filings or recordings that may be required by applicable law.
I. New Corporate Structure
     On the Effective Date and without limiting any rights and remedies of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors under this Plan or applicable law, the Reorganized Debtors may, at the election of the Requisite Consenting Lenders, enter into the Holding Company Restructuring as follows:
     1. Exchange of New Common Stock. Immediately following the issuance of New Common Stock by Parent pursuant to Article III.D.2 hereof, each Holder of any shares of New Common Stock of Parent shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of any Person or order of the Bankruptcy Court, be deemed to contribute (the “Stock Contribution”) each such share of New Common Stock issued to such Holder pursuant to this Plan to Holdings in exchange for the issuance by Holdings to each such Holder of such Holder’s pro rata share of an aggregate number of common units of Holdings (the “Common Units”) and preferred units of Holdings (the “Preferred Units”) to be issued by Holdings as of the Effective Date (which shall be subject to immediate dilution by the issuance of the Special Warrants as described below and the Management Equity Incentive Program). Each Holder’s pro rata share shall include the same percentage of Common Units and Preferred Units, such that each Holder receives an identical “unit strip” of an allocation of Common Units and Preferred Units across both classes of units in exchange for the shares of New Common Stock of Parent that are exchanged. The number of Common Units and Preferred Units issuable in exchange for a single share of New Common Stock of Parent is referred to herein as the “Stock Exchange Rate.” If a Holding Company Restructuring is implemented, Holdings shall be deemed to be “Reorganized Parent”, and the Common Units and Preferred Units shall be deemed to be the “New Common Stock”, in each case for all purposes under this Plan.
     2. Exchange of Special Warrants. Immediately following the Stock Contribution, and in lieu of receiving Special Warrants of Parent, each Holder entitled to receive Special Warrants will instead receive Special Warrants of Holdings exercisable for the same “unit strip ”of Common Units and Preferred Units as was issued to the Holders in exchange for the New Common Stock of Parent, applied using the same Stock Exchange Rate which applies to the Stock Contribution.
J. Section 1145 Exemption
     Pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, the offering, issuance and distribution of any New Equity contemplated by the Plan and all agreements incorporated herein shall be exempt from, among other things, the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act and any other applicable law requiring registration before the offering, issuance, distribution or sale of securities. In addition, under section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, any New Equity contemplated by the Plan and any and all agreements incorporated therein will be freely tradable by the recipients thereof, subject to: (1) the provisions of section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code relating to the definition of an underwriter in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act; (2) compliance with any rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, if any, applicable at the time of any future transfer of such securities or instruments; (3) the restrictions on the transferability of such securities and instruments, including those restrictions set forth in Article V.E hereof and the Corporate Governance Documents; and (4) applicable regulatory approval, including the applicable required FCC Approval.
K. Corporate Existence
     Except as otherwise provided herein, each Debtor shall continue to exist after the Effective Date as a separate corporate entity, limited liability company, partnership or other form, as the case may be, with all the powers of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other form, as the case may be, pursuant to the applicable law in the jurisdiction in which each applicable Debtor is incorporated or formed and pursuant to the respective certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation documents) in effect before the Effective Date, except to the extent such certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation documents) are amended by the Plan or otherwise, and to the extent such documents are amended, such documents are deemed to be amended

(21)


 

pursuant to the Plan and require no further action or approval (other than any requisite filings required under applicable state law).
L. New Certificates of Incorporation and New By-Laws
     On or immediately before the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor and Holdings, as applicable, to the extent requested to do so by the Requisite Consenting Lenders, shall amend and restate their respective New Certificates of Incorporation and New By-Laws and other constituent documents as permitted by the laws of their respective states of incorporation and, in connection therewith, shall make all such required filings with the applicable Secretaries of State and/or other applicable authorities in their respective states of incorporation in accordance with the corporate laws of the respective states of incorporation.
M. Vesting of Assets in the Reorganized Debtors
     Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or any agreement, instrument or other document incorporated therein, on the Effective Date, all property in each Estate, all Causes of Action (except those released pursuant to the Releases by the Debtors) and any property acquired by any of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan shall vest in each respective Reorganized Debtor, free and clear of all Liens, Claims, charges or other encumbrances (except for Liens, if any, granted to secure the New Term Loan). On and after the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, and subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and published policies of the FCC promulgated pursuant thereto, each Reorganized Debtor may operate its business and may use, acquire or dispose of property and compromise or settle any Claims, Interests or Causes of Action without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules; provided, however, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction with respect to the FCC Independent Trust and the FCC Traditional Trust, as applicable, as set forth herein.
N. FCC Approval Process
     The Debtors and the Consenting Lenders shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in diligently pursuing and in taking all steps necessary to obtain the grant with the Bankruptcy Court and the FCC of the FCC Short Form Application, the FCC Long Form Application, the FCC Independent Trust Application, and the FCC Traditional Trust Application, as applicable, and shall provide such additional documents or information requested or needed by the Bankruptcy Court and the FCC in connection with its review of such applications.
O. FCC Trust
     1. Generally
     If the Effective Date occurs in connection with an FCC Traditional Trust Approval, the Debtors shall establish, for the benefit of Reorganized Regent (and/or such other Reorganized Debtor(s) as designated by the New Board of Reorganized Parent), the FCC Traditional Trust on the terms set forth in the FCC Traditional Trust Agreement and/or the FCC Traditional Trust Order, if applicable. The powers, authority, responsibilities and duties of the FCC Traditional Trust and the FCC Traditional Trustees are set forth in and shall be governed by the FCC Traditional Trust Agreement. The FCC Traditional Trust Agreement shall contain provisions customary to trust agreements utilized in comparable circumstances, including, without limitation, provisions necessary to ensure the continued treatment of the FCC Traditional Trust as a “grantor trust” and a “liquidation trust,” and the beneficiaries of the FCC Traditional Trust as the grantors and owners thereof, for United States federal income tax purposes. The FCC Traditional Trust Agreement shall in all instances provide for the FCC Trustees’ cooperation with the New Board in connection with a transfer or sale of the FCC License Assets to a third party in the event that the FCC Long Form Application is denied or is not approved within a reasonable period of time. The FCC Traditional Trust and the FCC Traditional Trustees, including any successors, shall be bound by the Plan and shall not challenge any provision of the Plan.
     If the Effective Date occurs in connection with an FCC Independent Trust Approval, the Debtors shall establish, for the benefit of Reorganized Regent (and/or such other Reorganized Debtor(s) as designated by the New

(22)


 

Board of Reorganized Parent), the FCC Independent Trust on the terms set forth in the FCC Independent Trust Agreement and/or the FCC Independent Trust Order, if applicable. The powers, authority, responsibilities and duties of the FCC Independent Trust and the FCC Independent Trustee are set forth in and shall be governed by the FCC Independent Trust Agreement. The FCC Independent Trust Agreement shall contain provisions customary to trust agreements utilized in comparable circumstances, including, without limitation, provisions necessary to ensure the continued treatment of the FCC Independent Trust as a “grantor trust” and a “liquidation trust,” and the beneficiaries of the FCC Independent Trust as the grantors and owners thereof, for United States federal income tax purposes. The FCC Independent Trust Agreement shall in all instances provide for the FCC Trustees’ cooperation with the New Board in connection with a transfer or sale of the FCC License Assets to a third party in the event that the FCC Long Form Application is denied or is not approved within a reasonable period of time. The FCC Independent Trust and the FCC Independent Trustee, including any successors, shall be bound by the Plan and shall not challenge any provision of the Plan.
     2. Creation and Funding of any FCC Trust
     If either FCC Trust is implemented, the applicable FCC Trust Agreement shall be executed in a manner consistent with the Plan and will establish the applicable FCC Trust in accordance with the applicable FCC Trust Agreement. Simultaneously therewith, the applicable FCC Trustees shall cause the applicable FCC Trust to execute the Time Brokerage Agreement.
     3. Appointment of any FCC Trustees
     On the Effective Date, and in compliance with the provisions of the Plan and any applicable FCC Trust Agreement, the Debtors or the Bankruptcy Court, as applicable, will appoint the applicable FCC Trustees in accordance with the applicable FCC Trust Agreement and, thereafter, any successor FCC Trustees shall be appointed and serve in accordance with the applicable FCC Trust Agreement. The applicable FCC Trustees or any successor thereto will administer the applicable FCC Trust in accordance with the Plan and the applicable FCC Trust Agreement.
     4. Contributions to any FCC Trust
     If the Effective Date occurs in connection with an FCC Traditional Trust Approval or an FCC Independent Trust Approval, the Debtors shall contribute the FCC License Assets to the applicable FCC Trust for the benefit of Reorganized Regent (and/or such other Reorganized Debtor(s) as designated by the New Board of Reorganized Parent).
     5. Treatment of any FCC Trust
     For all federal income tax purposes, the Debtors intend that (i) any FCC Trust be classified as a “liquidating trust” under Section 301.7701-4(d) of the Regulations and qualify as a “grantor trust” under Section 671 of the Tax Code and (ii) any beneficiaries of the applicable FCC Trust will be treated as grantors and deemed owners thereof.
     6. Transferability of Beneficial Interests
     Ownership of a beneficial interest shall be uncertificated and shall be in book entry form. The beneficial interests in any FCC Trust will not be registered pursuant to the Securities Act, as amended, or any state securities law. If the beneficial interests constitute “securities,” the parties hereto intend that the exemption provisions of section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code will apply to the beneficial interests. The beneficial interests will be transferable, subject to the terms of the applicable FCC Trust Agreement.
     7. Distributions; Withholding
     Any appointed FCC Trustees shall make distributions to the beneficiaries of the applicable FCC Trust when and as authorized pursuant to the applicable FCC Trust Agreement in compliance with the Plan. Any appointed FCC Trustees may withhold from amounts otherwise distributable from the applicable FCC Trust to any Entity any

(23)


 

and all amounts required to be withheld by the applicable FCC Trust Agreement or any law, regulation, rule, ruling, directive, treaty or other governmental requirement.

In addition, on or after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall honor the Compensation Plans and the Employment Agreements, subject in all respect to the terms of Section VI.C. hereof and to the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement. Nothing in the Plan shall limit, diminish, or otherwise alter the Reorganized Debtors’ defenses, claims, Causes of Action or other rights with respect to any such contracts, agreements, policies, programs and plans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code, on and after the Effective Date, all retiree benefits (as that term is defined in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code), if any, shall continue to be paid in accordance with applicable law.

The Reorganized Debtors may pursue such Causes of Action, as appropriate, in accordance with the best interests of the Reorganized Debtors, subject to the consent of the Requisite Consenting Lenders. No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplement or the Disclosure Statement to any Cause of Action against them as any indication that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against them. Except with respect to Causes of Action as to which the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors have released any Person or Entity on or before the Effective Date (including pursuant to the Releases by the Debtors or otherwise), the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan. Unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised or settled in the Plan or a Bankruptcy Court order, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all Causes of Action, for later adjudication, and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise) or laches, shall apply to such Causes of Action upon, after or as a consequence of the Confirmation or Consummation.
ARTICLE VI.
TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES
A. Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
     Except as otherwise provided herein, or in any contract, instrument, release, indenture or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan, as of the Effective Date, each Debtor shall be deemed to have assumed each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to which it is a party, unless such contract or lease, subject to the consent of the Requisite Consenting Lenders: (1) was assumed or rejected previously by the Debtors; (2) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms; (3) is the subject of a motion to reject Filed on or before the Confirmation Date; or (4) is set forth in the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.
     The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such assumptions pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors shall have the right to amend the Schedule of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases any time before the Effective Date, subject to the consent of the Requisite Consenting Lenders. In addition, notwithstanding

(25)


 

the foregoing, the Reorganized Debtors shall have the right to terminate, amend or modify any intercompany contracts, leases or other agreements without approval of the Bankruptcy Court, subject to the consent of the Requisite Consenting Lenders.
B. Assumption of Indemnification Provisions
     The Debtors, and upon the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors, shall assume all of the Indemnification Provisions in place on and before the Effective Date for Indemnified Parties for Claims related to or in connection with any actions, omissions or transactions occurring before the Effective Date.
C. Assumption of Compensation Plans
     The Debtors, and upon the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors, shall assume pursuant to section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code the Compensation Plans and the Employment Agreements. Unless previously effectuated by separate order entered by the Bankruptcy Court, entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Debtors’ foregoing assumption of each of the Compensation Plans and the Employment Agreements.
D. Assumption of the D&O Insurance Policies
     The Debtors, and upon the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors, shall assume all of the D&O Insurance Policies pursuant to section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Unless previously effectuated by separate order entered by the Bankruptcy Court, entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Debtors’ foregoing assumption of each of the D&O Insurance Policies.
E. Payments Related to Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
     Any monetary defaults under each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed pursuant to this Plan shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the default amount in Cash on 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: (a) the amount of any Cure Claim; (b) the ability of the Reorganized Debtors to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code), if applicable, under the Executory Contract or the Unexpired Lease to be assumed; or (c) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the Cure Claims shall be paid following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption of such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases; provided, however, that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may settle any dispute regarding the amount of any Cure Claim without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, subject to the consent of the Requisite Consenting Lenders.
F. Preexisting Obligations to the Debtors Under Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
     Rejection or repudiation of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall not constitute a termination of preexisting obligations owed to the Debtors under such contracts or leases. In particular, notwithstanding any nonbankruptcy law to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve and do not waive any right to receive, or any continuing obligation of a counterparty to provide, warranties or continued maintenance obligations on goods previously purchased by the contracting Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, from counterparties to rejected or repudiated Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases.
G. Rejection Damages Claims.
     All proofs of Claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection (if any) of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases must be Filed with the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court and served upon counsel for the Reorganized Debtors within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of the Effective Date. Any Claim arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that becomes an Allowed Claim is classified and shall be treated as a Class 3 General Unsecured Claim, as applicable. Any Claims arising from the rejection of an Executory

(26)


 

Contract or Unexpired Lease not filed within the time required by this section will be forever barred from assertion against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Estates or property of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors.
H. Contracts and Leases Entered Into After the Petition Date
     On and after the Effective Date, the Debtors may continue to perform under contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor in the ordinary course of business, including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by such Debtor.
I. Intercompany Contracts, Contracts and Leases Entered Into After the Petition Date
     Intercompany contracts, contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor and any intercompany Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by any Debtor, may be performed by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in the ordinary course of business.
J. Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements or Other Agreements
     Unless otherwise provided in this Plan, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, extension rights, purchase rights and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated under this Plan.
     Modifications, amendments, supplements and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, or the validity, priority or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.
K. Reservation of Rights
     Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any contract or lease in the Plan Supplement, nor anything contained in this Plan, shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption or rejection, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have sixty (60) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.
L. Nonoccurrence of Effective Date
     In the event that the Effective Date does not occur, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction with respect to any consensual request to extend the deadline for assuming or rejecting Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases pursuant to section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.
ARTICLE VII.
PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS
A. Timing and Calculation of Amounts to Be Distributed; Record Date for Distributions
     1. Timing and Calculation of Amounts to Be Distributed
     Unless otherwise provided in this Plan, on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (or if a Claim or Equity Interest is not an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest on the Effective Date, on the date that such a Claim or Equity Interest becomes an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest, or as soon as

(27)


 

reasonably practicable thereafter), each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest against the Debtors shall receive the full amount of the distributions that this Plan provides for Allowed Claims or Allowed Equity Interests in the applicable Class. In the event that any payment or act under this Plan is required to be made or performed on a date that is not a Business Day, then the making of such payment or the performance of such act may be completed on the next succeeding Business Day, but shall be deemed to have been completed as of the required date. If and to the extent that there are Disputed Claims or Disputed Equity Interests, distributions on account of any such Disputed Claims or Disputed Equity Interests shall be made pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Article VII. Except as otherwise provided herein, Holders of Claims shall not be entitled to interest, dividends or accruals on the distributions provided for herein, regardless of whether such distributions are delivered on or at any time after the Effective Date.
     2. Record Date for Distributions
     On the Effective Date, the Disbursing Agent shall be authorized to recognize and deal only with those Holders of Claims or Equity Interests listed on the Debtors’ books and records or, in the case of Equity Interests, the Debtors’ or the Debtors’ transfer agent’s books and records, as of the close of business on the Effective Date. Accordingly, the Reorganized Debtors as Disbursing Agent or other applicable Disbursing Agent will have no obligation to recognize the transfer of, or the sale of any participation in, any Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest that occurs after the close of business on the Effective Date, and will be entitled for all purposes herein to recognize and distribute securities, property, notices and other documents only to those Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Equity Interests who are Holders of such Claims (or participants therein) or Equity Interests as of the close of business on the Effective Date.
B. Disbursing Agent
     Except as otherwise provided herein, all distributions under the Plan shall be made by the Reorganized Debtors as Disbursing Agent or such other Entity designated by the Reorganized Debtors as a Disbursing Agent on the Effective Date. A Disbursing Agent shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event that a Disbursing Agent is so ordered, all costs and expenses of procuring any such bond or surety shall be borne by the Reorganized Debtors.
C. Rights and Powers of Disbursing Agent
     1. Powers of the Disbursing Agent
     The Disbursing Agent shall be empowered to: (a) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments and other documents necessary to perform its duties under this Plan; (b) make all distributions contemplated hereby; (c) employ professionals to represent it with respect to its responsibilities; and (d) exercise such other powers as may be vested in the Disbursing Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to this Plan or as deemed by the Disbursing Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions hereof.
     2. Expenses Incurred On or After the Effective Date
     Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the amount of any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent on or after the Effective Date (including taxes) and any reasonable compensation and expense reimbursement claims (including reasonable attorney fees and expenses) made by the Disbursing Agent shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors.
D. Distributions on Account of Claims Or Equity Interests Allowed After the Effective Date
     1. Payments and Distributions on Disputed Claims or Equity Interests
     Distributions made after the Effective Date to Holders of Disputed Claims or Disputed Equity Interests that are not Allowed Claims or Allowed Equity Interests as of the Effective Date but which later become Allowed Claims or Allowed Equity Interests shall be deemed to have been made on the Effective Date.

(28)


 

     2. Special Rules for Distributions to Holders of Disputed Claims and Disputed Equity Interests
     Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in this Plan and except as otherwise agreed to by the relevant parties: (a) no partial payments and no partial distributions shall be made with respect to a Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interests until all such disputes in connection with such Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest have been resolved by settlement or Final Order; and (b) any Entity that holds both an Allowed Claim and a Disputed Claim or an Allowed Equity Interest and a Disputed Equity Interest shall not receive any distribution on the Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest unless and until all objections to the Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interests have been resolved by settlement or Final Order and the Disputed Claims or the Disputed Equity Interests have been Allowed.
E. Delivery of Distributions and Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions
     1. Delivery of Distributions in General
     Except as otherwise provided herein, the Reorganized Debtors shall make distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Equity Interests at the address for each such Holder as indicated on the Debtors’ records as of the date of any such distribution.
     2. Minimum Distributions
     The Reorganized Debtors shall not be required to make partial distributions or payments of fractions of New Equity and such fractions shall be deemed to be zero.
     3. Undeliverable Distributions and Unclaimed Property
          (a) Failure to Claim Undeliverable Distributions
          In the event that any distribution to any Holder is returned as undeliverable, no distribution to such Holder shall be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent has determined the then current address of such Holder, at which time such distribution shall be made to such Holder without interest; provided, however, such distributions shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code at the expiration of six (6) months from the Effective Date. After such date, all unclaimed property or interests in property shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors (notwithstanding any applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned or unclaimed property laws to the contrary), and the Claim or Equity Interest of any Holder to such property or Interest in property shall be discharged and forever barred.
          (b) Failure to Present Checks
     Checks issued by the Disbursing Agent on account of Allowed Claims and Allowed Equity Interests shall be null and void if not negotiated within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the issuance of such check. Requests for reissuance of any check shall be made directly to the Disbursing Agent by the Holder of the relevant Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest with respect to which such check originally was issued. Any Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest holding an un-negotiated check that does not request reissuance of such un-negotiated check within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the issuance of such check shall have its Claim or Equity Interest for such un-negotiated check discharged and be discharged and forever barred, estopped and enjoined from asserting any such Claim or Equity Interest against the Reorganized Debtors or their property. In such cases, any Cash held for payment on account of such Claims or Equity Interests shall be property of the Reorganized Debtors, free of any Claims or Interests of such Holder with respect thereto. Nothing contained herein shall require the Reorganized Debtors to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim or an Allowed Equity Interest.
     (c) Failure to Execute Corporate Governance Documents

(29)


 

     The failure by a Holder of a First Lien Debt Claim to execute any required Corporate Governance Documents within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the Effective Date shall result in the forfeiture of such Holder’s allocation of New Equity. After such date, all forfeited New Equity shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors and the First Lien Debt Claim of any Holder to such New Equity shall be discharged and forever barred.
F. Compliance with Tax Requirements/Allocations
     In connection with this 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. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under this Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes, withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such distributions or establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable and appropriate. The Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under this Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support and other spousal awards, liens and encumbrances.
     Distributions in respect of Allowed Claims shall be allocated first to the principal amount of such Claims (as determined for federal income tax purposes) and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claims, to any portion of such Claims for accrued but unpaid interest.
G. Surrender of Canceled Instruments or Securities
     As a condition precedent to receiving any distribution on account of its Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest, each Holder of a First Lien Debt Claim or Equity Interest shall be deemed to have surrendered the certificates or other documentation underlying each such Claim or Equity Interest, and all such surrendered certificates and other documentations shall be deemed to be canceled pursuant to Article V hereto, except to the extent otherwise provided herein.
H. Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties
     1. Claims Paid by Third Parties
     The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall reduce a Claim, and such Claim shall be disallowed without a Claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, to the extent that the Holder of such Claim receives payment on account of such Claim from a party that is not a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor. To the extent a Holder of a Claim receives a distribution on account of such Claim and receives payment from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor on account of such Claim, such Holder shall, within two (2) weeks of receipt thereof, repay or return the distribution to the applicable Reorganized Debtor, to the extent the Holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under this Plan exceeds the amount of such Claim as of the date of any such distribution under this Plan.
     2. Claims Payable by Third Parties
     No distributions under this Plan shall be made on account of an Allowed Claim that is payable pursuant to one of the Debtors’ insurance policies until the Holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to such insurance policy. To the extent that one or more of the Debtors’ insurers agrees to satisfy in full a Claim (if and to the extent adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction), then immediately upon such insurers’ agreement, such Claim may be expunged without a Claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
     3. Applicability of Insurance Policies

(30)


 

     Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be in accordance with the provisions of any applicable insurance policy. Nothing contained in this Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Cause of Action that the Debtors or any Entity may hold against any other Entity, including insurers under any policies of insurance, nor shall anything contained herein constitute or be deemed a waiver by such insurers of any defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such insurers.
ARTICLE VIII.
PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CONTINGENT, UNLIQUIDATED AND DISPUTED CLAIMS AND
DISPUTED EQUITY INTERESTS
A. Allowance of Claims and Equity Interests
     Except as expressly provided herein or any order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases prior to the Effective Date (including the Confirmation Order), no Claim or Equity Interest shall be deemed Allowed unless and until such Claim or Equity Interest is deemed Allowed under the Bankruptcy Code, under the Plan or the Bankruptcy Court enters a Final Order in the Chapter 11 Cases allowing such Claim under section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code. Except as expressly provided in any order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases prior to the Effective Date (including the Confirmation Order), the Reorganized Debtors after Confirmation will have and retain any and all rights and defenses the Debtors had with respect to any Claim or Equity Interest as of the Petition Date.
B. Prosecution of Objections to Claims and Equity Interests
     The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have the exclusive authority to File, settle, compromise, withdraw or litigate to judgment any objections to Claims or Equity Interests as permitted under this Plan. From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest without approval of the Bankruptcy Court subject to the consent of the Requisite Consenting Lenders. The Debtors also reserve the right to resolve any Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest outside the Bankruptcy Court under applicable governing law subject to the consent of the Requisite Consenting Lenders.
C. Procedures Regarding Disputed Claims or Equity Interests
     1. No Filing of Proofs of Claim or Equity Interests
     Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, Holders of Claims or Equity Interests shall not be required to File a proof of claim or proof of interest, and no parties should File a proof of claim or proof of interest. The Debtors do not intend to object to the allowance of Claims Filed or Equity Interests Filed; provided, however, that the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve the right to object to any Claim or Equity Interests that is entitled, or deemed to be entitled, to a distribution under this Plan or is rendered Unimpaired under this Plan. Instead, the Debtors intend to make distributions, as required by this Plan, in accordance with the books and records of the Debtors. Unless disputed by a Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest, the amount set forth in the books and records of the Debtors shall constitute the amount of the Allowed Claim or Equity Interest of such Holder. If any such Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest disagrees with the Debtors’ books and records with respect to the Allowed amount of such Holder’s Claim or Equity Interest, such Holder must so advise the Debtors in writing, in which event the Claim or Equity Interest will become a Disputed Claim or a Disputed Equity Interest. The Debtors intend to attempt to resolve any such disputes consensually or through judicial means outside the Bankruptcy Court subject to the consent of the Requisite Consenting Lenders. Nevertheless, the Debtors may, in their discretion, file with the Bankruptcy Court (or any other court of competent jurisdiction) an objection to the allowance of any Claim or Equity Interest or any other appropriate motion or adversary proceeding with respect thereto. All such objections will be litigated to Final Order; provided, however, that the Debtors may compromise, settle, withdraw or resolve by any other method approved by the Bankruptcy Court any objections to Claims or Equity Interests subject to the consent of the Requisite Consenting Lenders.

(31)


 

     2. Claims Estimation
     Any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, 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 such Debtor has previously objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any 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 related to any such objection. In the event 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, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate payment on such Claim. All of the aforementioned objection, estimation, and resolution procedures are cumulative and are not necessarily exclusive of one another. Claims may be estimated and thereafter resolved by any permitted mechanism.
D.   No Distributions Pending Allowance
     Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any portion of a Claim is a Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest, no payment or distribution provided under the Plan shall be made on account of such Claim or Equity Interest unless and until such Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest becomes an Allowed Claim or an Allowed Equity Interest.
E.   Distributions After Allowance
     To the extent that a Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim or an Allowed Equity Interest, distributions (if any) shall be made to the Holder of such Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest in accordance with the provisions of this Plan. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing any Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest becomes a Final Order, the Disbursing Agent shall provide to the Holder of such Claim or Equity Interest the distribution (if any) to which such Holder is entitled under this Plan as of the Effective Date, without any interest to be paid on account of such Claim or Equity Interest.

ARTICLE X.
SETTLEMENT, RELEASE, INJUNCTION AND RELATED PROVISIONS
A.   Compromise and Settlement of Claims, Interests and Controversies
     Pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall constitute a good faith compromise of all Claims, Interests and controversies relating to the contractual, legal and subordination rights that a Holder of a Claim may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or Interest, or any distribution to be made on account of such Allowed Claim or Interest. The entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the compromise or settlement of all such Claims, Interests and controversies, as well as a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that such compromise or settlement is in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates and Holders of Claims and Interests and is fair, equitable and reasonable. In accordance with the provisions of the Plan, pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019(a), without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may compromise and settle Claims against them and Causes of Action against other Entities.
B.   Releases by the Debtors
     To the extent permitted by applicable law and approved by the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or the Plan Supplement, for good and valuable consideration, including the service of the Released Parties to facilitate the expeditious reorganization of the Debtors and the implementation of the restructuring contemplated by the Plan, on and after the Effective Date, the Released Parties are deemed released and discharged by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and the Estates from any and all Claims, obligations, rights, suits, damages, Causes of Action, remedies and liabilities whatsoever, including any derivative Claims, asserted on behalf of the Debtors, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereinafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise, that the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Estates or their Affiliates would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether individually or collectively) or on behalf of the Holder of any Claim or Interest or other Entity, based on or relating to any act, omission, transaction event or other occurrence taking place on or prior to the Effective Date; provided, however, that the foregoing “Debtor Release” shall not operate to waive or release any Causes of Action of any Debtor: (1) against a Released Party arising from any contractual obligations owed to the Debtors; (2) expressly set forth in and preserved by the Plan, the Plan Supplement or related documents; or (3) arising from claims for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or criminal conduct. In addition, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors hereby release and discharge all Preference Actions.
C.   Releases by Holders of Claims and Interests
     To the extent permitted by applicable law and approved by the Bankruptcy Court, as of the Effective Date, each Holder of a Claim or an Interest, shall be deemed to have conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably and forever, released and discharged the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and the Released Parties from any and all Claims, Interests, obligations, rights, suits, damages, causes of action, remedies and liabilities whatsoever, including any derivative Claims, asserted on behalf of a Debtor, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise, that such Entity would have been legally entitled to assert (whether individually or collectively), based on or relating to any act, omission, transaction, event or other occurrence taking place on or prior to the Effective Date; provided, however, that the foregoing release shall not operate to waive or release any Causes of Action of any releasing party: (1) against a released party arising from any contractual obligations owed to the releasing party; (2) expressly set forth in and preserved by the Plan, the Plan Supplement or related documents; or (3) arising from claims for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or criminal conduct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the release set forth above does not release any post-Effective Date obligations of any party under the Plan or any document, instrument or agreement (including those set forth in the Plan Supplement) executed to implement the Plan.

(34)


 

D.   Exculpation
     Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or Plan Supplement, no Exculpated Party shall have or incur, and each Exculpated Party is hereby released and exculpated from any Exculpated Claim, obligation, Cause of Action or liability for any Exculpated Claim, except for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or criminal misconduct, but in all respects such Entities shall be entitled to reasonably rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities pursuant to the Plan.
E.   Discharge of Claims and Termination of Interests
     Pursuant to section 1141(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, the distributions, rights and treatment that are provided in the Plan shall be in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge, effective as of the Effective Date, of all Claims, Interests and Causes of Action of any nature whatsoever, including any interest accrued on Claims or Interests from and after the Petition Date, whether known or unknown, against, liabilities of, Liens on, obligations of, rights against and Interests in, the Debtors or any of their assets or properties, regardless of whether any property shall have been distributed or retained pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claims and Interests, including demands, liabilities and Causes of Action that arose before the Effective Date any contingent or non-contingent liability on account of representations or warranties issued on or before the Effective Date, and all debts of the kind specified in sections 502(g), 502(h), or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, in each case whether or not: (1) a proof of Claim or Interest based upon such Claim, debt, right or Interest is Filed or deemed Filed pursuant to section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code; (2) a Claim or Interest based upon such Claim, debt, right or Interest is Allowed pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code; or (3) the Holder of such a Claim or Interest has accepted the Plan. Except as otherwise provided herein, any default by the Debtors or their Affiliates with respect to any Claim or Interest that existed immediately before or on account of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases shall be deemed cured on the Effective Date. The Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of the discharge of all Claims and Interests subject to the Effective Date occurring, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan.
F.   Injunction
     Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, the Plan Supplement or related documents, or for obligations issued pursuant to the Plan, from and after the Effective Date, all Releasing Parties are permanently enjoined from taking any of the following actions against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors: (1) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests; (2) enforcing, attaching, collecting or recovering by any manner or means any judgment, award, decree or order against such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests; (3) creating, perfecting or enforcing any encumbrance of any kind against such Entities or the property or estates of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests; (4) asserting any right of setoff, subrogation or recoupment of any kind against any obligation due from such Entities or against the property or Estates of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests unless such Holder has Filed a motion requesting the right to perform such setoff on or before the Confirmation Date, and notwithstanding an indication in a proof of Claim or Interest or otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of setoff pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; and (5) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests released or settled pursuant to the Plan. Nothing in the Plan or Confirmation Order shall preclude any Entity from pursuing an action against one or more of the Debtors in a nominal capacity to recover insurance proceeds so long as the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and any such Entity agree in writing that such Entity will: (a) waive all Claims against the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and the Estates related to such action and (b) enforce any judgment on account of such Claim solely against applicable insurance proceeds, if any.

(35)


 

G.   Setoffs
     Except as otherwise expressly provided for in the Plan, each Reorganized Debtor pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (including section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code), applicable non-bankruptcy law or as may be agreed to by the Holder of a Claim or Interest, may set off against any Allowed Claim or Interest and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of such Allowed Claim or Interest (before any distribution is made on account of such Allowed Claim or Interest), any Claims, rights and Causes of Action of any nature that such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, may hold against the Holder of such Allowed Claim or Interest, to the extent such Claims, rights or Causes of Action against such Holder have not been otherwise compromised or settled on or prior to the Effective Date (whether pursuant to the Plan or otherwise); provided, however, that neither the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim or Interest pursuant to the Plan shall constitute a waiver or release by such Reorganized Debtor of any such Claims, rights and Causes of Action that such Reorganized Debtor may possess against such Holder. In no event shall any Holder of Claims or Interests be entitled to setoff any Claim or Interest against any Claim, right or Cause of Action of the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, unless such Holder has Filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court requesting the authority to perform such setoff on or before the Confirmation Date, and notwithstanding any indication in any proof of Claim or Interest or otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of setoff pursuant to section 553 or otherwise.
H.   Release of Liens
     Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document created pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date and concurrently with the applicable distributions made pursuant to the Plan and, in the case of an Other Secured Claim, satisfaction in full of the portion of the Other Secured Claim that is Allowed as of the Effective Date, all mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges or other security interests against any property of the Estates shall be fully released and discharged, and all of the right, title and interest of any Holder of such mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges or other security interests shall revert to the Reorganized Debtor and its successors and assigns.
I.   Recoupment
     In no event shall any Holder of Claims or Interests be entitled to recoup any Claim or Interest against any Claim, right or Cause of Action of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, unless such Holder actually has performed such recoupment and provided notice thereof in writing to the Debtors on or before the Confirmation Date, notwithstanding any indication in any proof of Claim or Interest or otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of recoupment.
ARTICLE XI.
BINDING NATURE OF PLAN
     THIS PLAN SHALL BIND ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AGAINST AND INTERESTS AND INTERCOMPANY INTERESTS IN THE DEBTORS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTWITHSTANDING WHETHER OR NOT SUCH HOLDER (I) WILL RECEIVE OR RETAIN ANY PROPERTY OR INTEREST IN PROPERTY UNDER THE PLAN, (II) HAS FILED A PROOF OF CLAIM OR INTEREST IN THE CHAPTER 11 CASES OR (III) FAILED TO VOTE TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN OR VOTED TO REJECT THE PLAN.
