ARTICLE IV

MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN

 

A.                                    Implementation of Plan

 

The Debtor proposes to implement and consummate this Plan on and after the Effective Date.

 

21



 

B.                                    Formation of the DGI Liquidating Trust

 

Prior to the Effective Date, the Debtor shall continue to wind down its businesses subject to all applicable requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules.  This Plan contemplates the transfer of the Debtor’s Assets and liabilities into the DGI Liquidating Trust.

 

The DGI Liquidating Trust shall be established as a Delaware Common Law Trust, which shall also be a grantor trust for the sole purpose of liquidating the Estate and making distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims, in accordance with this Plan and Treas. Reg. § 301.7701-4(d), with no objective to continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business.  Subject to definitive guidance from the IRS, all parties shall treat the DGI Liquidating Trust as a liquidating trust for all federal income tax purposes.

 

The DGI Liquidating Trust Agreement shall contain provisions customary to trust agreements utilized in comparable circumstances, including, but not limited to, any and all provisions necessary to govern the rights, powers, obligations and appointment and removal of the Liquidating Trustee and to ensure the treatment of the DGI Liquidating Trust as a liquidating trust for federal income tax purposes, all consistent with the Plan.

 

For all federal income tax purposes, all parties (including, without limitation, the Debtor, the Liquidating Trustee and Holders of Allowed Claims and Interests) shall treat the transfer of Assets and liabilities to the DGI Liquidating Trust, in accordance with the terms of this Plan, as a transfer to Holders of Allowed Claims followed by a transfer by such Holders to the DGI Liquidating Trust, and the beneficiaries of the DGI Liquidating Trust shall be treated as the grantors and owners thereof.  The beneficiaries of the DGI Liquidating Trust shall be the Holders of Allowed Claims.

 

22



 

The DGI Liquidating Trust shall terminate no later than the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, that within a period of three (3) months prior to such termination date, the Bankruptcy Court, upon motion by a party in interest may extend the term of the DGI Liquidating Trust if it is necessary to facilitate or complete the liquidation of the DGI Liquidating Trust’s assets.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, multiple extensions can be obtained so long as Bankruptcy Court approval is obtained within three (3) months prior to the expiration of each extended term; provided, however, that the aggregate of all such extensions shall not exceed three (3) years, unless the Liquidating Trustee receives a favorable ruling from the IRS that any further extension would not adversely affect the status of the DGI Liquidating Trust as a liquidating trust within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 301.7701-4(d) for federal income tax purposes.

 

C.                                    Appointment and Term of the Liquidating Trustee

 

On the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trustee shall succeed in all respects to all of the rights, privileges and immunities of the President, including, without limitation, the attorney-client privileges, work product privilege and any other evidentiary privileges of the President and shall be appointed as the sole officer of the Debtor as of the Effective Date.  The initial Liquidating Trustee, and each successor Liquidating Trustee, shall serve until the earlier of (i) the entry of the Final Decree and the payment of final distributions to Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims pursuant to the Plan; or (ii) the expiration of the term of such Liquidating Trustee’s employment agreement or such Liquidating Trustee’s resignation, death, incapacity, removal or termination by the Trust Oversight Committee pursuant to the Liquidating Trust Agreement or order of the Bankruptcy Court; or (iii) the conversion of this Chapter 11 Case to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Liquidating Trustee may also be removed by the Bankruptcy Court upon motion for good cause shown by any Creditor.

 

23



 

As set forth herein, the liquidation and winding up of the DGI Liquidating Trust and the Debtor shall become the responsibility of the Liquidating Trustee, who shall thereafter have responsibility for the management, control and operation thereof, and who may use, acquire and dispose of property free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules, subject to oversight or approval of the Trust Oversight Committee as may be required pursuant to the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

 

The Liquidating Trustee may be removed or replaced at any time by the Trust Oversight Committee in accordance with the procedures in the Liquidating Trust Agreement.  In the event of the death or incompetency (in the case of a Liquidating Trustee that is a natural person), dissolution (in the case of a Liquidating Trustee that is a corporation or other entity), bankruptcy, insolvency, resignation, or removal of the Liquidating Trustee, the Trust Oversight Committee shall have the authority to appoint a successor trustee as set forth in the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

 

Upon creation of the DGI Liquidating Trust, the Liquidating Trustee shall be the trustee of the DGI Liquidating Trust for all purposes and in all respects, with all necessary and appropriate power to act for, on behalf of and in the name of the DGI Liquidating Trust.

 

D.                                    Duties of the Liquidating Trustee

25



 

in accordance with applicable law, provided, that nothing herein shall permit the Liquidating Trustee to terminate or cancel the Debtor’s director and officer liability insurance coverage relating to the period following the Petition Date; and provided further that the Liquidating Trustee shall not renew or extend such insurance coverage, or other new or substitute coverage, without the approval of the Trust Oversight Committee.

 

In connection with the execution of his, her or its duties under this Plan, the Liquidating Trustee, at the direction of and in consultation with the Trust Oversight Committee as set forth more specifically in the Liquidating Trust Agreement and Article IV.D herein, shall be authorized:

 

a.             to execute such documents and to take such other actions as are necessary to effectuate this Plan and perform his, her or its duties as liquidating agent of and for the Estate and the DGI Liquidating Trust, including to execute such documents and take such other action on behalf of the DGI Liquidating Trust or the Debtor;

c.             to authorize and benefit from any insurance policies and rights of indemnification;

 

d.             to retain and pay professionals (including the Debtor’s or the Committee’s Professionals) or other Persons to assist the Liquidating Trustee in the liquidation of the Debtor’s Assets, without prior Bankruptcy Court approval, and to designate another Person to be the Disbursing Agent;

g.             to employ such other procedures, not inconsistent with this Plan, necessary for the Liquidating Trustee to perform his, her or its duties hereunder.

 

The Liquidating Trustee shall be deemed the Estate’s representative in accordance with section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and shall have all powers, authority and responsibilities specified in the Liquidating Trust Agreement, including, without limitation, the powers of a trustee under sections 704 and 1106 of the Bankruptcy Code (including, without limitation, commencing, prosecuting or settling Causes of Action and asserting claims, defenses, offsets and privileges), to the extent not inconsistent with this Plan or the status of the DGI Liquidating Trust as a liquidating trust within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 301.7701-4(d) for federal income tax purposes.  In discharging the foregoing responsibilities, the Liquidating Trustee shall be entitled to exercise and rely upon his, her or its business judgment in consultation with the Trust Oversight Committee.  The Liquidating Trustee shall not be obligated to take any action or to pursue any Causes of Action unless justified in his, her or its reasonable determination by fact and law, nor shall the Liquidating Trustee be obligated to take any action that could reasonably cause him, her or it personal liability.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Liquidating Trustee may consider the interests of Holders of Allowed Claims in receiving prompt distributions and such other factors as may be reasonable in the exercise of his, her or its business judgment.  Such authorization and benefits shall also extend to any, each and every successor Liquidating Trustee, without reservation or limitation.

 

27



 

The Liquidation Trustee, at the direction of the Trust Oversight Committee, shall be permitted to make any investments that a liquidating trust, within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 301.7701-4(d), may be permitted to hold, pursuant to the Treasury Regulations, or any modification in the IRS guidelines, whether set forth in IRS rulings, other IRS pronouncements or otherwise and pursuant to the investment guidelines of Bankruptcy Code §345.  The Liquidating Trustee, at the direction of the Trust Oversight Committee, may expend the Cash of the DGI Liquidating Trust (a) as reasonably necessary to meet contingent liabilities and to maintain the value of the respective assets of the DGI Liquidating Trust during liquidation, (b) to pay the respective reasonable administrative expenses (including, but not limited to, any United States Trustee fees, Liquidating Trustee fees, professional fees, and taxes imposed on the DGI Liquidating Trust), and (c) to satisfy other respective liabilities incurred by the DGI Liquidating Trust in accordance with the Plan or the DGI Liquidating Trust Agreement.

 

Subject to definitive guidance from the IRS or a court of competent jurisdiction to the contrary (including the receipt by the Liquidating Trustee of a private letter ruling if the Liquidating Trustee so requests one, or the receipt of an adverse determination by the IRS upon audit if not contested by the Liquidating Trustee), the Liquidating Trustee will file returns for the Liquidating Trust as a grantor trust pursuant to Treasury Regulations section 1.671-4(a).  The Liquidating Trustee will also send to each Holder of a beneficial interest in the Liquidating Trust an annual statement setting forth the Holder’s share of items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit, and provide to all such Holders information for reporting such items on their federal income tax returns, as appropriate.  The Liquidating Trustee will file (or cause to be filed) any other statements, returns, or disclosures relating to the Liquidating Trust that are required by any governmental unit.

 

28



 

E.                                      Post Confirmation Expenses

 

On the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trustee shall establish the Administrative Fund.  The initial amount of the Administrative Fund shall be based on the Liquidating Trustee’s good faith estimate of the cost necessary to complete the DGI Liquidating Trust’s obligations under this Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement and will include the amount budgeted for the DGI Liquidating Trust’s professionals pursuant to Article IV.E of this Plan.  The DGI Liquidating Trust shall pay all costs and expenses related to carrying out its obligations under this Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement from the Administrative Fund and, in the Liquidating Trustee’s discretion, and with approval of the Trust Oversight Committee, may add additional amounts to the Administrative Fund to prosecute the Causes of Action or for administration and other miscellaneous needs of the DGI Liquidating Trust without further notice or motion in accordance with the terms of the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

Executory Contract that has not previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms shall be deemed rejected pursuant to Bankruptcy Code §§ 365 and 1123, effective as of the Confirmation Date.  The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such rejection pursuant to Bankruptcy Code §§ 365 and 1123 as of the Confirmation Date.

 

C.                                    Rejection Damages Bar Date

 

Except to the extent another Bar Date applies pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, all Proofs of Claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts under this Plan must be filed with the Debtor’s claims agent, Delaware Claims Agency, LLC, at the following address:

 

Delaware Claims Agency, LLC

230 North Market Street, P.O. Box 515

Wilmington, DE 19899

 

and a copy served on counsel to the Debtor and the Liquidating Trustee, within thirty (30) days of the Confirmation Date, or such Claim shall be forever barred and shall not be entitled to a distribution or be enforceable against the Debtor, its Estate, the DGI Liquidating Trust, the Liquidating Trustee, their successors, their assigns or their Assets.  Any Claim arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract shall be treated as a Claim in Class 3 (General Unsecured Claims).  Nothing in this Plan extends or modifies any previously applicable Bar Date.

 

D.                                    Insurance Policies

 

To the extent any or all of the insurance policies set forth on Exhibit B to this Plan are considered to be Executory Contracts, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, this Plan shall constitute a motion to assume the insurance policies set forth on Exhibit B to this Plan.  Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, the entry of the

 

37



 

Confirmation Order shall constitute approval of such assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 365(a) and a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that each such assumption is in the best interest of the Debtor, the Estate and all parties in interest in this Chapter 11 Case.  Unless otherwise determined by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to a Final Order or agreed to by the parties thereto prior to the Effective Date, no payments are required to cure any defaults of the Debtor existing as of the Confirmation Date with respect to each such insurance policy set forth on Exhibit B to this Plan.  To the extent the Bankruptcy Court determines otherwise with respect to any insurance policy, the Debtor reserves the right to seek rejection of such insurance policy or other available relief.  This Plan shall not affect contracts that have been assumed and assigned by order of the Bankruptcy Court prior to the Confirmation Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, the insurance policies (including any insurance policies that are not executory contracts, insurance policies that may have expired prior to the Petition Date, insurance policies in existence on the Petition Date and insurance policies entered into by the Debtor after the Petition Date) of the Debtor set forth on Exhibit B and all rights thereunder and rights under any other insurance policies under which the Debtor may be a beneficiary (including the rights to make, amend, prosecute and benefit from claims) are retained and will be transferred to the DGI Liquidating Trust pursuant to this Plan.  The Liquidating Trustee shall have the right to cancel, terminate or not assume any insurance policy in his, her or its sole discretion, except for any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy or products liability insurance policy.  For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Liquidating Trust nor the Liquidating Trustee shall be obligated to pay any amounts in connection with any insurance policy, including any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy or products liability insurance policy.

ARTICLE VI

 

DETERMINATION OF CLAIMS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

 

A.                                    Disbursing Agent

 

1.                                      Liquidating Trustee as  Disbursing Agent

 

The Liquidating Trustee shall be the Disbursing Agent, and the Disbursing Agent shall make all distributions under this Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall be the Disbursing Agent to Holders of Allowed Note Claims.

 

Indenture Trustee as Claim Holder.  Consistent with Bankruptcy Rule 3003(c), the Liquidating Trustee shall recognize Proofs of Claim timely filed by the Indenture Trustee in respect of any Claims under the Indentures.  Accordingly, any Claim arising under the Indentures, proof of which is filed by the registered or beneficial Holder of Notes, shall be disallowed as duplicative of the Claim of the Indenture Trustee, without any further action of the Bankruptcy Court.  The Indenture Trustee shall file a Proof of Claim under the Indentures.

 

Distributions to Holders of Note Claims.  Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Plan to the contrary, the distribution provisions contained in the Indentures shall continue in effect to the extent necessary to authorize the Indenture Trustee to receive and distribute to the Holders of Allowed Note Claims, pursuant to this Plan, Distributions on account of Allowed Note Claims, and shall terminate completely upon completion of all such Distributions.

 

Holders as of the Distribution Record Date.  As of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, (i) the claims register shall be closed, (ii) the transfer of books and records of the Notes as maintained by the Indenture Trustee or its agent shall be closed and (iii) any transfer of any Note Claim or interest therein shall be prohibited.  The Liquidating Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to Recognize any transfer of any Note Claims

 

39



 

occurring after the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, and shall instead be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes under this Plan with only those Holders of record as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date.

 

Payments to be Made to Indenture Trustee.  The Distributions to be made under the Plan to Holders of Allowed Note Claims shall be made to the Indenture Trustee, which, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee to assert its Indenture Trustee Charging Lien against the Distributions, shall transmit the Distributions to the Holders of such Allowed Note Claims.  As soon as practicable, the Indenture Trustee shall distribute to the Holder thereof, such Holder’s Pro Rata share of the Distributable Cash, but subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee to assert its Indenture Trustee Charging Lien against such distribution.

 

Additional Trustee’s Fees and Expenses.  To the extent that the Indenture Trustee provides services related to Distributions pursuant to the Plan as Disbursing Agent or otherwise, the Indenture Trustee will receive from the Estate, without further court approval, reasonable compensation for such services and reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such services.  These payments will be made on terms agreed to between the Indenture Trustee and the Liquidating Trustee.

 

2.                                      Alternative Disbursing Agent Qualification

 

No Person other than the Liquidating Trustee of the Indenture Trustee shall be authorized by the Bankruptcy Court to serve as Disbursing Agent unless and until the Trust Oversight Committee consents in writing to that Person serving as Disbursing Agent, and that Person (i) executes and files a statement with the Bankruptcy Court agreeing to perform all of the duties of the Disbursing Agent under this Plan, and (ii) consents to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court in respect to all matters relating to the performance of his, her or its duties as the Disbursing Agent under this Plan or order of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

40



 

B.                                    Time and Manner of Distributions

 

The Disbursing Agent shall make Initial Distributions under the Plan on account of Claims Allowed before the Effective Date as soon as practicable on or after the Effective Date, except as otherwise agreed to by the Trust Oversight Committee or by order of the Bankruptcy Court.  The Disbursing Agent shall have the power, subject to Trust Oversight Committee consent, to make interim distributions to Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims if the Liquidating Trustee determines that such interim distributions are warranted and economical; provided, however, that the Disbursing Agent shall make interim distributions at least annually.  If the Liquidating Trustee determines to make interim distributions to Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims, the Liquidating Trustee will determine the amount to be distributed by taking into account such factors as ongoing expenses and costs, taxes and reserves necessary to provide for the resolution of Disputed Claims.  Amounts withheld will be placed in an interest-bearing account approved by the Trust Oversight Committee, which shall fund ongoing expenses and costs relating to such reserves, including, without limitation, taxes in respect of Disputed Claims, if any.

 

At the option of the Disbursing Agent, any distributions under this Plan may be made either in Cash, by check drawn on a domestic bank, by wire transfer or by ACH.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan to the contrary, no payment of fractional cents will be made under this Plan.  Cash will be issued to Holders entitled to receive a distribution of Cash in whole cents (rounded to the nearest whole cent when and as necessary).  Any distribution of less than $20.00 will be considered de minimis, and Holders of Allowed Claims that are entitled to any distribution of less than $20.00 will not receive any distribution unless and until the aggregate of such distributions exceed $20.00.  Such undistributed funds shall

 

41



 

remain with and vest in the DGI Liquidating Trust for distribution to other Holders of Allowed Claims.

 

C.                                    Delivery of Distributions

 

Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be made by the Disbursing Agent (i) at the addresses set forth on the Proofs of Claim filed by such Holder (or at the last known address of such Holder if no motion requesting payment or Proof of Claim is filed or the Debtor and the DGI Liquidating Trust have been notified in writing of a change of address), (ii) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Liquidating Trustee after the date of any related Proof of Claim, or (iii) at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if no Proof of Claim has been filed and the Liquidating Trustee has not received a written notice of a change of address.

 

D.                                    Undeliverable Distributions

 

If a distribution to a Holder of a Claim is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such Holder of a Claim shall be made unless and until the Liquidating Trustee and the Disbursing Agent are notified of the then-current address of such Holder, at which time (subject to the terms of the last sentence of this Article VI.D) all missed distributions shall be made to such Holder without interest.  Amounts in respect of undeliverable distributions shall be returned to the Disbursing Agent until such distributions are claimed.  All funds or other undeliverable distributions returned to the Disbursing Agent in respect of any Claim that are not claimed within four (4) months of return shall be forfeited and remain with and vest in the DGI Liquidating Trust for distribution to other Holders of Allowed Claims and such Claim shall not be entitled to any additional distributions.

 

42



 

E.                                      Claims Administration Responsibility

 

1.                                      Reservation of Rights to Object to Claims or Interests

 

Unless a Claim is expressly described as an Allowed Claim pursuant to or under this Plan, or otherwise becomes an Allowed Claim prior to or after the Effective Date, the DGI Liquidating Trust and the Liquidating Trustee (on behalf of the Estate) reserve any and all objections to any and all Claims and Interests and motions or requests for the payment of Claims or Interests, whether administrative expense, priority, secured or unsecured, including, without limitation, any and all objections to the validity or amount of any and all alleged Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims, Priority Claims, Secured Claims, General Unsecured Claims, Interest Related Claims, Interests, Liens and security interests, whether under the Bankruptcy Code, other applicable law or contract.  The DGI Liquidating Trust’s and/or the Liquidating Trustee’s failure to object to any Claim or Interest in the Chapter 11 Case shall be without prejudice to the DGI Liquidating Trust’s and the Liquidating Trustee’s rights to contest or otherwise defend against such Claim or Interest in the Bankruptcy Court when and if such Claim or Interest is sought to be enforced by the Holder of such Claim or Interest.

 

2.                                      Objections to Claims or Interests

 

The Liquidating Trustee, at the direction of and in consultation with the Trust Oversight Committee as set forth in the Liquidating Trust Agreement, shall be responsible for administering, disputing, objecting to, compromising or otherwise resolving and making distributions, if any, with respect to all Claims and Interests.  Unless otherwise provided in this Plan or by order of the Bankruptcy Court, any objections to Claims or Interests by the Liquidating Trustee will be filed and served not later than 180 days after the Effective Date, provided that the DGI Liquidating Trust or the Liquidating Trustee may request (and the Bankruptcy Court may grant) an extension of such deadline by filing a motion with the

 

43



 

Bankruptcy Court, based upon a reasonable exercise of his, her or its business judgment.  A motion seeking to extend the deadline to object to any Claim or Interest shall not be deemed an amendment to this Plan.

 

3.                                      Filing of Objections

 

An objection to a Claim or Interest shall be deemed properly served on the Holder of such Claim or Interest if the DGI Liquidating Trust or the Liquidating Trustee effect service by any of the following methods: (i) in accordance with Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as modified and made applicable by Bankruptcy Rule 7004; (ii) to the extent counsel for such Holder is unknown, by first class mail, postage prepaid, on the signatory on the Proof of Claim or Interest or other representative identified on the Proof of Claim or Interest or any attachment thereto; or (iii) by first class mail, postage prepaid, on any counsel that has appeared on the behalf of such Holder in the Chapter 11 Case.

 

4.                                      Determination of Claims

 

Any Claim as to which a Proof of Claim or Interest or motion or request for payment was timely filed in the Chapter 11 Case may be determined and liquidated pursuant to (i) an order of the Bankruptcy Court, (ii) applicable bankruptcy law, (iii) agreement of the parties, (iv) applicable non-bankruptcy law, or (v) the lack of (a) an objection to such Claim or Interest, (b) an application to equitably subordinate such Claim, and (c) an application to otherwise limit recovery with respect to such Claim or Interest, filed by the Debtor, the DGI Liquidating Trust or the Liquidating Trustee on or prior to any applicable deadline for filing such objection or application with respect to such Claim or Interest.  Any such Claim determined to be Allowed, shall be deemed to be an Allowed Claim for such liquidated amount (so long as such determination has not been stayed, reversed or amended and as to which determination (or any revision, modification or amendment thereof) the time to appeal or seek review or rehearing has

 

44



 

expired and as to which no appeal or petition for review or rehearing was filed or, if filed, remains pending) and shall be satisfied in accordance with this Plan.  Nothing contained in this Article VI.E shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Claim, right or Cause of Action that the Debtor or the Liquidating Trustee may have against any Person in connection with or arising out of any Claim or Claims, including, without limitation, any rights under 28 U.S.C. § 157.

 

F.                                      Procedures for Treating and Resolving Disputed and Contingent Claims

 

1.                                      No Distributions Pending Allowance

 

No payments or distributions will be made with respect to all or any portion of a Disputed Claim unless and until all objections to such Disputed Claim have been settled or withdrawn or have been determined by a Final Order, and the Disputed Claim has become an Allowed Claim or Interest; provided, however, that in the event that only a portion of such Claim is an Allowed Claim, the Disbursing Agent may make, in his, her or its discretion, a distribution pursuant to the Plan on account of the portion of such Claim that becomes an Allowed Claim.

 

2.                                      Claim Estimation

 

The Liquidating Trustee may request estimation or liquidation of any Disputed Claim that is contingent or unliquidated pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 502(c); provided, however, that the Bankruptcy Court shall determine (i) whether such Disputed Claim is subject to estimation pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 502(c), and (ii) the timing and procedures for such estimation proceedings, if any.

 

G.                                    Setoffs and Recoupment

 

The Liquidating Trustee may, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code §§ 553 and 558 or applicable non-bankruptcy law, but shall not be required to, setoff against or recoup from any Claim on which payments are to be made pursuant to this Plan, any claims or Causes of Action of any nature whatsoever the Debtor may have against the Holder of such Claim; provided,

 

45



 

however, that neither the failure to effect such setoff or recoupment nor the allowance of any Claim shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtor of any setoff or recoupment the Debtor may have against the Holder of such Claim, nor of any other claim or Cause of Action.

 

H.                                    Allowance and Disallowance of Claims Subject to Bankruptcy Code § 502

 

Allowance and disallowance of Claims shall be in all respects subject to the provisions of Bankruptcy Code § 502, including, without limitation, subsections (b), (d), (e), (g), (h) and (i) thereof.

 

I.                                         Cancellation of Instruments and Agreements

 

Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided herein, all promissory notes, shares, certificates, instruments, indentures, stock or agreements evidencing, giving rise to or governing any Claim or Interest shall be deemed canceled and annulled without further act or action under any applicable agreement, law, regulation, order or rule; the obligations of the Debtor under such promissory notes, share certificates, instruments, indentures or agreements shall be discharged and the Holders thereof shall have no rights against the Debtor, the Liquidating Trustee, the Estate, the Trust Oversight Committee, or the DGI Liquidating Trust; and such promissory notes, share certificates, instruments, indentures or agreements shall evidence no such rights, except the right to receive the distributions provided for in this Plan.  Additionally, following the Confirmation Date, the Debtor shall be authorized and empowered to file a Form 15 and any other necessary documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission to deregister its Common Stock and suspend its reporting obligations under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

All Notes and the Indenture shall be deemed automatically canceled and discharged on the Effective Date; provided, however, that the Notes and the Indenture shall continue in effect solely for the purposes of (i) allowing the Noteholders to receive their

 

46



 

Distributions hereunder, (ii) allowing the Indenture Trustee to make the Distributions, if any, to be made on account of the Notes, and (iii) permitting the Indenture Trustee to assert its Indenture Trustee Charging Lien against such Distributions for payment of the Indenture Trustee Fee.

 

On and as of the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trustee will hold a single, nominal share of common stock in the Post-Confirmation Debtor for the sole and limited purpose of maintaining the corporate existence of the Post-Confirmation Debtor following the Effective Date and pending dissolution of the Post-Confirmation Debtor.

 

J.                                      No Interest on Claims

 

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in this Plan, the Confirmation Order or a post-petition agreement in writing between the Debtor and a Holder of a Claim and approved by an order of the Bankruptcy Court, and unless provided for in the Bankruptcy Code, post-petition interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claim, and no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim.  In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Disputed Claim in respect of the period from the Effective Date to the date a final distribution is made when and if such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, except as may be required by the Bankruptcy Code.

 

K.                                    Withholding Taxes

 

The Liquidating Trustee shall be entitled to deduct any federal, state, local or foreign withholding taxes from any payments under this Plan.  As a condition to making any distribution under this Plan, the Liquidating Trustee may require that the Holder of an Allowed Claim provide such Holder’s taxpayer identification number and such other information and certification as the Liquidating Trustee may deem necessary to comply with applicable tax reporting and withholding laws.

 

47



 

L.                                     Reports

 

From the Effective Date, until a Final Decree is entered, the Liquidating Trustee shall submit quarterly reports to the United States Trustee setting forth all receipts and disbursements of the DGI Liquidating Trust as required by the United States Trustee guidelines.

 

ARTICLE VII

D.                                    Binding Effect of Plan

 

Except as otherwise provided in Bankruptcy Code § 1141(d)(3), on and after the Effective Date, the provisions of this Plan shall bind any Holder of a Claim against, or Interest in, the Debtor, the Estate, the DGI Liquidating Trust and their respective successors or assigns, whether or not the Claim or Interest of such Holders is impaired under this Plan and whether or not such Holder has accepted this Plan.  The rights, benefits and obligations of any entity named or referred to in this Plan, whose actions may be required to effectuate the terms of this Plan, shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign of such entity (including, without limitation, the Liquidating Trustee and any trustee appointed for the Debtor under chapters 7 or 11 of the Bankruptcy Code).

 

57



 

E.                                      Final Order

 

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan, any requirement in this Plan for a Final Order may be waived by the Debtor in consultation with the Committee upon written notice to the Bankruptcy Court.  No such waiver shall prejudice the right of any party in interest to seek a stay pending appeal of any order that is not a Final Order.

 

F.                                      Withholding and Reporting Requirements

 

In connection with this Plan and all instruments issued in connection herewith and distributions hereunder, the DGI Liquidating Trust and the Liquidating Trustee shall comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority, and all distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements.  The Liquidating Trustee may require, as a condition to receipt of a distribution, that the Holder of a Claim provide such Holder’s taxpayer identification number and such other information and certification (including Form W-8 and Form W-9) as the Liquidating Trustee may deem necessary to comply with applicable tax reporting and withholding laws.  For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Debtor nor any successors in interest to the Debtor will contend that this Plan operates to waive transfer taxes associated with the transaction approved by the Sale Order.

 

G.                                    Tax Exemption

 

Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1146, any transfers from the Debtor, the DGI Liquidating Trust or the Liquidating Trustee to any other Person or entity pursuant to this Plan, or any agreement regarding the transfer of title to or ownership of the Debtor’s or the DGI Liquidating Trust’s real or personal property, or the issuance, transfer or exchange of any security under this Plan, or the execution, delivery or recording of an instrument of transfer pursuant to, in implementation of or as contemplated by this Plan, including, without limitation,

 

58



 

any transfers to or by the Liquidating Trustee of the Debtor’s or the DGI Liquidating Trust’s property in implementation of or as contemplated by this Plan (including, without limitation, any subsequent transfers of property by the Liquidating Trustee) shall not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, stamp act, real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, Uniform Commercial Code filing or recording fee or other similar tax or governmental assessment.  Consistent with the foregoing, each recorder of deeds or similar official for any county, city or governmental unit in which any instrument hereunder is to be recorded shall, pursuant to the Confirmation Order, be ordered and directed to accept such instrument, without requiring the payment of any documentary stamp tax, deed stamps, stamp tax, transfer tax, intangible tax or similar tax.

 

H.                                    Governing Law

 

Except to the extent a rule of law or procedure is supplied by federal law (including the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules) or unless specifically stated, the rights, duties and obligations arising under this Plan, any agreements, documents and instruments executed in connection with this Plan (except as otherwise set forth in those agreements, in which case the governing law of such agreements shall control), and, with respect to the Debtor and the DGI Liquidating Trust, corporate governance matters shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles.

 

I.                                         Severability

 

After the Effective Date, should the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction determine that any provision in this Plan is either illegal on its face or illegal as applied to any Claim, such provisions shall be unenforceable either as to all Holders of Claims or as to the Holder of such Claim as to which the provision is illegal, respectively.  Such

 

59



 

a determination of unenforceability shall in no way limit or affect the enforceability and operative effect of any other provision of this Plan.

 

J.                                      Revocation

 

The Debtor, in consultation with the Committee, reserves the right to revoke and withdraw this Plan prior to the Confirmation Date.  If the Debtor revokes or withdraws this Plan, then this Plan shall be null and void and, in such event, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or release of any Claims by or against the Debtor, the Committee or any other Person or to prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtor, the Committee or any Person in any further proceedings involving the Debtor, or be deemed an admission by the Debtor and/or the Committee.

 

K.                                    Construction

 

The rules of construction as set forth in Bankruptcy Code § 102 shall apply to the construction of this Plan.

 

L.                                     Plan Controls Disclosure Statement

 

In the event and to the extent any provision of this Plan is inconsistent with any provision of the Disclosure Statement, the provisions of this Plan shall control and take precedence.

 

M.                                  Amendments and Modifications

 

The Debtor may alter, amend or modify this Plan under Bankruptcy Code § 1127(a) at any time prior to the Confirmation Hearing.  After the Confirmation Date and prior to “substantial consummation” (as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code § 1101(2)) of this Plan, the Debtor in consultation with the Committee or the Liquidating Trustee in consultation with the Trust Oversight Committee may institute proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1127(b) to remedy any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistencies in
