INTRODUCTION
An overview of the Plan is set forth in the Disclosure Statement. Parties should review the Plan and Disclosure Statement carefully. THQ Inc. and the other debtors and debtors in possession in the above-captioned cases propose the following liquidating chapter 11 plan. The objectives of the Plan are to effect the substantive consolidation of the Debtors and provide a mechanism for the prompt liquidation of the Causes of Action and other remaining Assets of the Debtors, and distribution of the proceeds thereof to Holders of Allowed Claims. The Plan divides Creditors and Equity Interest Holders of the Debtors into Classes based on their legal rights and interests. Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims against the Debtors, which will be substantively consolidated with THQI, will be entitled to Pro Rata Distributions from the Net Proceeds. The Holders of Allowed Convenience Claims against the Debtors will receive a cash payment equal to 30% multiplied by the lesser of (a) $10,000 and (b) the amount of such Allowed Convenience Claim, unless such a Holder elects treatment as Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim. The current Equity Interest Holders of the Debtors retain a beneficial interest in a single share issued to the Stock Trust upon cancellation of the Debtors’ stock. Holders of Allowed Equity Interests and Allowed Securities Law Claims will receive distributions only if all other Creditors are paid in full.
Reference is made to the Disclosure Statement for a summary and analysis of the Plan, and certain related matters including, among other things, certain tax matters related to the consideration to be issued and/or distributed under this Plan. Parties are encouraged to read the Plan and the Disclosure Statement and their respective exhibits and schedules in their entirety before voting to accept or reject the Plan. No materials other than the Disclosure Statement and the respective schedules and exhibits attached thereto and referenced therein have been authorized by the Bankruptcy Court for use in soliciting acceptances or rejections of the Plan. The Debtors reserve the right to alter, amend, modify, revoke or withdraw this Plan.

ARTICLE II.
ALLOWANCE AND TREATMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS
AND PRIORITY TAX CLAIMS
A.
Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims.
129.01    Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims are not placed into Classes and are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan; instead, such Claims are unclassified. Such Claims are not considered Impaired and they do not vote on the Plan because they are entitled to specific treatment under the Bankruptcy Code. The treatment for these Claims is provided in sections 2.02 through 2.07, below.
2.01    Administrative Claims.
130.01    Except to the extent that the Holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim agrees to less favorable treatment or unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, each Holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim shall receive in full satisfaction, discharge, exchange, and release thereof, Cash from the Administrative Claims Reserve in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Allowed Administrative Claim on the later of: (a) the Effective Date; and (b) the fifteenth (15th) Business Day after such Administrative Claim becomes an Allowed Administrative Claim, or, in either case, as soon thereafter as is practicable; provided, however, that (1) Ordinary Course Administrative Claims shall be paid in Cash in full after the Effective Date from the Administrative Claims Reserve in accordance with the terms and conditions of the particular transactions, any applicable agreements, or as otherwise authorized by the Bankruptcy Court; (2) no Priority Tax Claim shall be payable until otherwise payable under applicable non-bankruptcy law; and (3) each Professional Fee Claim shall be payable only after the Bankruptcy Court enters an Order awarding such Professional Fee Claim.


01:13642963.4
19


2.02    Administrative Claim Bar Date.
131.01    All requests for payment of an Administrative Claim that arose during the Second Period, except for U.S. Trustee Fees, Professional Fee Claims, and Ordinary Course Administrative Claims, shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court no later than the Administrative Claim Bar Date or be forever barred. Within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date, the Claims and Noticing Agent shall serve notice of the Effective Date, the Administrative Claim Bar Date, and the Administrative Claim Objection Deadline on all creditors and parties in interest. Nothing in the Plan shall constitute a waiver of any grounds for objecting to Administrative Claims arising during the First Covered Period, if any, subject to the First Administrative Claim Bar Date Order or any other Order requiring the filing of requests for the payment of Administrative Claims. FAILURE TO FILE AND SERVE SUCH REQUEST TIMELY AND PROPERLY SHALL RESULT IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIM BEING FOREVER BARRED AND DISCHARGED.
2.03    Administrative Claim Objection Deadline.
132.01    All objections to the allowance of Administrative Claims subject to section 2.03 must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court by parties in interest no later than sixty (60) days after the Administrative Claim Bar Date (the “Administrative Claim Objection Deadline”). The Administrative Claim Objection Deadline may be extended for a one-time sixty (60) day period by THQI by filing a notice of the extended Administrative Claim Objection Deadline with the Bankruptcy Court, and giving notice of such extension to all creditors and parties in interest. Thereafter, the Administrative Claim Objection Deadline may be further extended only by an Order of the Bankruptcy Court. If no objection to such Administrative Claim is filed on or before the Administrative Claim Objection Deadline, such Administrative Claim shall be deemed an Allowed Administrative Claim as of that date.
2.04    U.S. Trustee Fees.
134.01    U.S. Trustee Fees shall be paid before the Effective Date by the Debtors obligated for such fees, and on or after the Effective Date by THQI, in each case, when due in accordance with applicable law. The Debtors shall continue to file reports to show the calculation of such fees for the Estates until the Cases of THQ Phoenix, THQ Wireless, Vigil and Volition are closed under section 350 of the Bankruptcy Code pursuant to Section 6.06(e) of the Plan. After the Cases of THQ Phoenix, THQ Wireless, Vigil and Volition are closed under section 350 of the Bankruptcy Code, THQI shall file such reports until the THQI Chapter 11 Case is closed under section 350 of the Bankruptcy Code.
2.05    Professional Fee Claims.
134.01
(a)    Each Holder of a Professional Fee Claim seeking an award by the Bankruptcy Court of compensation for services rendered or reimbursement of expenses incurred through and including the Effective Date shall: (i) file with the Bankruptcy Court such Holder’s interim (if applicable) and final applications for allowances of compensation for services rendered and reimbursement of expenses incurred through the Effective Date by no later than the forty-fifth (45th) day after the Effective Date or such other date as may be fixed by the

01:13642963.4
20


Bankruptcy Court; and (ii) if granted such an award by the Bankruptcy Court, be paid from the Administrative Claims Reserve in full satisfaction, exchange, and release of such Claim, Cash in such amounts as are Allowed by the Bankruptcy Court on the date such Professional Fee Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, or as soon thereafter as is practicable.
(b)    All objections to the allowance of Professional Fee Claims through the Effective Date must be filed and served by no later than the sixty-fifth (65th) day after the Effective Date, or such other date as may be fixed by Order of the Bankruptcy Court.
(c)    On or prior to the Confirmation Date, each Holder of a Professional Fee Claim shall provide the Debtors with a written estimate of the maximum amount of its requested compensation and reimbursement through the Effective Date. The Debtors shall establish the Administrative Claims Reserve pursuant to section 8.13(a) to include an amount equal to the aggregate amount of such estimated Professional Fee Claims, unless otherwise previously paid by the Debtors. If a Professional fails to submit an estimate of its fees and expenses in accordance with this section 2.05(c), THQI shall not pay such Professional’s Allowed Professional Fee Claim from the Administrative Claims Reserve, except to the extent any other Professional is entitled to less than the full amount of its estimated Professional Fee Claim, but rather shall pay such Claim from any other source available to THQI.
(d)    The Debtors and the Committee acknowledge that the Ad Hoc Committee and its professionals, Andrews Kurth LLP and Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc., have made a substantial contribution in these Chapter 11 Cases. The Debtors and the Committee will not object to the reimbursement of the reasonable expenses of members of the Ad Hoc Committee and the reasonable fees and expenses of Andrews Kurth LLP as counsel for the Ad Hoc Committee and Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc. as financial advisor for the Ad Hoc Committee, which were incurred during the period commencing on Petition Date to the date the Committee was appointed by the U.S. Trustee, as determined in accordance with section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, provided, however, that Andrews Kurth LLP and Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc. each files a fee application with the Bankruptcy Court with respect to these Professional Fee Claims in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules and any Order of the Bankruptcy Court.
2.06    Priority Tax Claims.
135.01    Except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim agrees to less favorable treatment, each Holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim shall receive in full satisfaction, exchange, and release thereof, Cash from the Priority/Convenience Claims Reserve in an aggregate amount equal to such Allowed Priority Tax Claim on the last to occur of: (i) the Effective Date; (ii) the fifteenth (15th) Business Day after such Priority Tax Claim becomes an Allowed Priority Tax Claim; and (iii) the first day that such Allowed Priority Tax Claim is due and payable under applicable non-bankruptcy law; or, in any case, as soon thereafter as is practicable. Any Claim or demand for fines or penalties related to a Priority Tax Claim shall be a Subordinated Claim and the Holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim shall not assess or attempt to collect any such fine or penalty from the Debtors, the Stock Trustee or the Litigation Trustee other than as an Allowed Subordinated Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to section

01:13642963.4
21


507(a)(8)(G) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Claim for a penalty related to a Priority Tax Claim in compensation for actual pecuniary loss shall be a Priority Tax Claim and shall not be a Subordinated Claim.
ARTICLE III.
CLASSIFICATION OF CLAIMS AND EQUITY INTERESTS
The Plan classifies Claims and Equity Interests, except for Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims, which are not classified, for all purposes, including voting on, Confirmation of, and Distributions under the Plan. A Claim or Equity Interest is classified in a particular Class only to the extent that the Claim or Equity Interest falls within the Class description. To the extent that part of the Claim or Equity Interest falls within a different Class description, that portion of the Claim or Equity Interest is classified in that different Class. All Claims held by a Debtor against any other Debtor shall be cancelled or extinguished pursuant to the Plan; therefore, such Claims are not classified. The treatment in the Plan is in full and complete satisfaction of the legal, contractual, and equitable rights that each person holding an Allowed Claim or an Allowed Equity Interest may have in or against the Debtors or their property. This treatment supersedes and replaces any agreements or rights those entities have in or against the Debtors or their property. All Distributions under the Plan will be tendered to the person holding the Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest by THQI as set forth in the Plan and the Trust Agreements. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THE PLAN, NO DISTRIBUTIONS WILL BE MADE AND NO RIGHTS WILL BE RETAINED ON ACCOUNT OF ANY CLAIM OR EQUITY INTEREST THAT IS NOT AN ALLOWED CLAIM OR ALLOWED EQUITY INTEREST. Accordingly, the Claims, other than Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims, and Equity Interests, are classified for all purposes, including voting, Confirmation, and Distribution pursuant to the Plan, as follows:

(b)    Notice of Proposed Cure. No later than twenty-one (21) days prior to the Confirmation Hearing Date, the Debtors shall file and serve on parties to executory contracts and unexpired leases designated on Schedule 5.01(a) a notice (the “Cure Notice”) listing the proposed cure amount to be paid in connection with the executory contracts and unexpired leases that may be retained, assumed and/or assigned pursuant to section 5.01(a) of the Plan. To the extent that the Debtors on or prior to the Effective Date amend Schedule 5.01(a) to add any executory contract or unexpired lease thereto, the Debtors shall file and serve on the parties to such executory contract or unexpired lease the Cure Notice listing the proposed cure amount to be paid in connection with such executory contract or unexpired pursuant to section 5.01(a) of the Plan. The non-Debtor parties to such contracts and leases shall have until fifteen (15) days following service of the Cure Notice to object in writing to the proposed cure and to propose an alternative cure. In the event that no objection is timely filed, the applicable party shall be deemed to have consented to the cure proposed by the Debtors (including amounts of compensation for actual pecuniary loss) and shall be forever enjoined and barred from seeking from the Debtors, the Estates, the Stock Trustee and the Litigation Trustee any additional amount on account of the any cure obligations under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. If an objection is timely filed with respect to the cure amount proposed by the Debtors for an executory contract or unexpired lease, the Bankruptcy Court shall hold a hearing to determine the amount of any disputed cure amount not settled by the parties. Notwithstanding anything otherwise to the contrary, at all times through the date that is thirty (30) days after the entry of a Final Order resolving and fixing the amount of a disputed cure amount, whether such date is before or after the Effective Date, each of the Debtors shall be authorized to reject such executory contract or unexpired lease by notice to the non-Debtor party to such executory contract or unexpired lease.
5.03    Bar Date for Filing Proofs of Claim Relating to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Rejected Pursuant to the Plan.
153.01    Claims arising out of the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease pursuant to section 5.01 of the Plan must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served upon the Debtors in accordance with the Bar Date Order. All such Claims not filed within such time will be forever barred from assertion against the Debtors, their Estates, the Stock Trustee and the Litigation Trustee.

ARTICLE VI.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN
6.01    Substantive Consolidation of the Debtors.
154.01
(a)    Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the approval, pursuant to sections 105(a), 541, 1123 and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, effective as of the Effective Date, of the substantive consolidation of the Debtors for all purposes, including voting, Confirmation, and Distribution. On and after the Effective Date, (i) all assets and liabilities of the Debtors shall be treated as though they were pooled, (ii) each Claim filed or to be filed against any Debtor shall be deemed filed as a single Claim against and a single obligation of the Debtors, (iii) all Claims held by a Debtor against any other Debtor shall be cancelled or extinguished, (iv) no Distributions shall be made under the Plan on account of any Claim held by a Debtor against any other Debtor, (v) the Equity Interests shall be cancelled, (vi) no Distributions shall be made under the Plan on account of any Equity Interest held by a Debtor in any other Debtor, (vii) all guarantees of any Debtors of the obligations of any other Debtor shall be eliminated so that any Claim against any Debtor and any guarantee thereof executed by any other Debtor shall be one obligation of the substantively consolidated Debtors, and (viii) any joint or several liability of any of the Debtors shall be one obligation of the substantively consolidated Debtors. Notwithstanding such substantive consolidation, however, U.S. Trustee Fees shall be due and payable by each individual Debtor until conversion or entry of a final decree for each applicable Debtor.
(f)    The substantive consolidation effected pursuant to section 6.01(a) of the Plan shall not affect, without limitation, (i) the Debtors’, the Stock Trustee’s or the Litigation Trustee’s (x) defenses to any Claim or cause of action, including without limitation the ability to assert any counterclaim; (y) setoff or recoupment rights, or (z) requirements for any third party to establish mutuality prior to substantive consolidation in order to assert a right of setoff against the Debtors, the Stock Trustee or the Litigation Trustee; (ii) Distributions to the Debtors, the Stock Trustee and/or the Litigation Trustee out of any insurance policies or proceeds of such policies; or (iii) the rights of any Holder of a Secured Claim with respect to the Collateral securing its Claim. The substantive consolidation effected pursuant to section 6.01(a) of the Plan shall not prejudice the Causes of Action and the Avoidance Actions, each subject to the releases set forth in Article XI of the Plan, which shall survive entry of the Confirmation Order for the benefit of the Debtors and their Estates, as if there had been no substantive consolidation.
(g)    The Disclosure Statement and the Plan shall be deemed to be a motion requesting that the Bankruptcy Court approve the substantive consolidation provided for in the Plan. Unless an objection to the proposed substantive consolidation is made in writing by any creditor purportedly affected by such substantive consolidation on or before the deadline to object to Confirmation of the Plan, or such other date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court, the substantive consolidation proposed by the Plan may be approved by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing. In the event any such objections are timely filed, a hearing with respect thereto shall be scheduled by the Bankruptcy Court, which hearing may, but need not, be

01:13642963.4

(f)    the Debtors shall have received all material authorizations, consents, regulatory approvals, rulings, letters, no-action letters, opinions, or documents that are reasonably necessary to implement the Plan and that are required by law, regulation, or Order.
6.05    Waiver of Conditions.
The Debtors, in consultation with the Committee, and to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, may waive one or more of the conditions precedent: (i) to Confirmation of the Plan set forth in section 6.03 of the Plan prior to the Confirmation Date without any hearing; or

01:13642963.4
30


(ii) to effectiveness of the Plan set forth in section 6.04 of the Plan in whole or part, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Bankruptcy Court without a hearing. The failure to satisfy or waive any condition to the Confirmation Date or the Effective Date may be asserted by the Debtors regardless of the circumstances giving rise to the failure of such conditions to be satisfied (including any action or inaction by the Debtors in their sole discretion). The failure of the Debtors to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights, and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right, which may be asserted at any time. The Debtors’ rights under the “mootness doctrine” shall be unaffected by any provision hereof.
6.06    Actions on the Effective Date.
156.01    To the extent not previously completed, on the Effective Date, the following shall occur in implementation of the Plan:

6.09    Good Faith.
159.01    Confirmation of the Plan shall constitute a finding that: (i) the Plan has

01:13642963.4
31

6.10    Binding Effect.
160.01    From and after the Confirmation Date, but subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Plan shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the Debtors, all present and former Holders of Claims and Equity Interests, and their respective assigns.
6.11    Revesting of Assets in THQI.
161.01    On the Effective Date, all Revested Assets shall be revested in THQI free and clear of Liens, Claims, encumbrances, charges, interests of Holders of Claims and Equity Interests and other interests, except as otherwise expressly provided for in the Plan, including, without limitation, the transfer of the Derivative Actions to the Litigation Trust under section 6.14(b) below. To the extent required to implement the vesting of the Revested Assets in THQI as provided for herein, all persons including Governmental Authorities shall cooperate with the Debtors, the Estates, and the Litigation Trustee to implement the transfer of the Revested Assets from the Debtors to THQI. Nothing in the Plan will alter, modify or override any provisions in, or actions taken pursuant to, any of the Orders entered by the Bankruptcy Court authorizing the Debtors to use cash collateral or sell assets.
6.12    THQI Shall Be Authorized Representative of the Estates.
162.01    THQI shall be, and hereby is, appointed as the representative of the respective Estates pursuant to sections 1123(a)(5), (a)(7) and (b)(3)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code and as such shall be vested with the authority and power (subject to the Litigation Trust Agreement and section 6.14 of the Plan) to: (a) administer, hold, and liquidate the Revested Assets; (b) administer, investigate, prosecute, settle and abandon all Causes of Action (but not Derivative Actions) in the name of, and for the benefit of, the Estates, subject to the limitations set forth in the Plan; and (c) make the Distributions provided for in the Plan, including Distributions on account of Allowed Claims. As the representative of the Estates, THQI shall succeed to all of the rights and powers of the Debtors and the Estates with respect to all Causes of Action, and THQI shall be substituted and shall replace the Debtors, the Estates, and the Committee, as applicable, as the party in interest in all litigation pending as of the Effective Date.

6.13    Stock Trust.
163.01
(a)    Creation of the Stock Trust. On or before the Effective Date, the Stock Trust shall be formed pursuant to the Stock Trust Agreement and the filing of a certificate of trust with the Delaware Secretary of State.
(b)    Vesting of THQI Stock in the Stock Trust. On the Effective Date, the Equity Interests in THQI shall be cancelled and a single share of stock in THQI shall be issued to the Stock Trust, which will hold such share for the benefit of the former holders of THQI stock.
(c)    No Issuance of Stock Trust Beneficial Interests with respect to Claims or Equity Interests That Have Not Been Allowed. Notwithstanding any other Plan provision: (a) Stock Trust Beneficial Interests will be issued to Holders of Securities Law Claims and Holders of Equity Interests, only after, and only to the extent that, such Holders hold Allowed Securities Law Claims or Allowed Equity Interests; and (b) unless otherwise agreed by THQI, no issuance of Stock Trust Beneficial Interests shall be made to the Holder on account of such Claim or Equity Interest unless and until the entire Claim or Equity Interest is an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest.
(d)    Authorization of the Stock Trustee. The Stock Trustee shall administer the Stock Trust, and shall have the powers and duties set forth in the Stock Trust Agreement, including, without limitation, the authority to vote 100% of the Equity Interests in THQI on all matters permitting or requiring a shareholder vote. From and after the Effective Date, the Stock Trustee shall be authorized to, and shall, take all actions required to implement the Stock Trust Agreement and the Plan. The Stock Trustee shall, at any time and from time to time, have authority to retain, on behalf of the Stock Trust, any counsel, financial advisors, claims agent, auditors, or other professionals it deems appropriate. The Stock Trustee may select any such professionals in its sole discretion, and without regard to their prior employment in any capacity in the Chapter 11 Cases on behalf of the Debtors, their Estates, or the Committee.
(e)    Authority of Stock Trustee. Notwithstanding anything else in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, from and after the Effective Date the Stock Trustee will have the right to elect the Board of Directors of THQI. The Stock Trustee may opt to serve as the sole director of THQI or may designate one or more other individuals to serve as directors of THQI. The Stock Trustee may also serve as chief executive officer of THQI.
(f)    Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Stock Trust.

The Stock Trust shall be formed solely for such purposes and shall have no objective to engage in or continue the conduct of a trade or business. The Stock Trust is intended to qualify as a liquidating trust that is a grantor trust and therefore not a separate taxable entity for federal income tax purposes. The Holders of

01:13642963.4
33


Allowed Equity Interests shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as the grantors and deemed owners of the Stock Trust and the Stock Trustee and such Holders shall report consistently therewith. If any Class 7 Securities Law Claim is Allowed, the Holders of that Allowed Class 7 Claim shall also be deemed a grantor of the Stock Trust.
(g)    Funding of Post-Effective Date Expenses. All Post-Effective Date Expenses of the Stock Trustee and the Stock Trust shall be expenses of THQI, and THQI shall arrange for the disbursement of funds for the payment of such expenses from the Operating Reserve.
(h)    Dissolution. Unless a favorable ruling letter is obtained from the IRS providing that any further extension would not adversely affect the status of the Stock Trust as a liquidating trust for federal income tax purposes, the Stock Trust shall be dissolved no later than five (5) years from the Effective Date, unless the Bankruptcy Court, upon motion made prior to such fifth (5th) anniversary, determines that an extension for a fixed period of not more than (3) years (including any prior extensions) is necessary for the purposes for which the Stock Trust was formed. Upon the filing of a motion for extension of the date of dissolution of the Stock Trust, such date automatically shall be deemed extended until entry by the Bankruptcy Court of an Order resolving such motion or until the motion is withdrawn.
(i)    Securities Law Matters. To the extent the Stock Trust Beneficial Interests in the Stock Trust are deemed to be “securities,” the issuance of such Stock Trust Beneficial Interests under the Plan is exempt, pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state and local laws mandating the registration of securities.
6.14    Litigation Trust.

On the Effective Date, the Derivative Actions shall be vested in the Litigation Trust free and clear of Liens, Claims, encumbrances, charges, interests of Holders of Claims and Equity Interests and other interests. To the extent required to implement the vesting of the Derivative Actions in the Litigation Trust as provided for herein, all persons including Governmental Authorities shall cooperate with the Debtors, the Estates, and the Litigation Trustee to implement the transfer of the Derivative Actions from the Debtors to the Litigation Trust.
(c)    No Issuance of Litigation Trust Beneficial Interests with respect to Any Claim Until That Claim Is an Allowed Claims. Notwithstanding any other Plan provision: (a) Litigation Trust Beneficial Interests will be issued to Holders of General Unsecured Claims, only after, and only to the extent that, such Holders hold Allowed General Unsecured Claims; and (b) unless otherwise agreed by THQI, if any portion of a Claim is not yet an Allowed Claim,

01:13642963.4
34


no issuance of Litigation Trust Beneficial Interests shall be made to the Holder on account of such Claim unless and until the entire Claim is an Allowed Claim.
(d)    Authorization of the Litigation Trustee. The Litigation Trustee shall administer the Litigation Trust, and shall have the powers and duties set forth in the Litigation Trust Agreement. From and after the Effective Date, the Litigation Trustee shall be authorized to, and shall, take all actions required to implement the Litigation Trust Agreement and the Plan. The Litigation Trustee shall, at any time and from time to time, have authority to retain, on behalf of the Litigation Trust, any counsel, financial advisors, claims agent, auditors, or other professionals it deems appropriate. The Litigation Trust may select any such professionals in its sole discretion, and without regard to their prior employment in any capacity in the Chapter 11 Cases on behalf of the Debtors, their Estates, or the Committee.
(e)    Representative of the Consolidated Estates with Respect to Derivative Actions. The Litigation Trustee shall be, and hereby is, appointed as the representative of the respective Estates pursuant to sections 1123(a)(5), (a)(7), and (b)(3)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Derivative Actions and as such shall be vested with the sole authority and power (subject to the Litigation Trust Agreement) to: (a) administer, hold, and liquidate the Derivative Actions; and (b) administer, investigate, prosecute, settle, and abandon all Derivative Actions in the name of, and for the benefit of, the Estates, subject to the limitations set forth in the Plan. The Litigation Trustee shall have the right to prosecute the Derivative Actions as the authorized representative of the Debtors and the Estates. As the representative of the Estates, the Litigation Trustee shall succeed to all of the rights and powers of the Debtors and the Estates with respect to the Derivative Actions, and the Litigation Trustee shall be substituted for and shall replace the named plaintiffs and the Committee, as applicable, as the party in interest in all Derivative Actions pending as of the Effective Date. No former shareholder of THQI shall have the right to prosecute any Derivative Action. As of the Effective Date, subject to the Litigation Trust Agreement, the Litigation Trustee shall be authorized to exercise and perform the rights, powers, and duties held by the Debtors’ Estates with respect to the Derivative Actions, including, without limitation, the authority under section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code to provide for settlement, adjustment, retention, and enforcement of claims and interests of the Estates, without the consent or approval of any third party, and without any further Order of the Bankruptcy Court, except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order. SUBJECT TO THE LITIGATION TRUST AGREEMENT, THE LITIGATION TRUSTEE WILL DECIDE WHETHER TO PURSUE EACH DERIVATIVE ACTION BASED UPON ITS MERITS, THE COST TO PROSECUTE THE CLAIM AND THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE. SUBJECT TO THE LITIGATION TRUST AGREEMENT, THE LITIGATION TRUSTEE MAY RETAIN COUNSEL ON A CONTINGENCY FEE BASIS OR SEEK FINANCING FOR THE COST TO PROSECUTE SOME OR ALL OF THE DERIVATIVE ACTIONS, ABANDON OR DECIDE NOT TO PURSUE SOME OR ALL DERIVATIVE ACTIONS.
(f)    Proceeds of the Derivative Actions. Amounts recovered by the Derivative Actions shall be used first to pay the expenses of the Derivative Actions and any surplus shall be distributed to THQI, as agent of the Litigation Trust, for distribution to Holders

01:13642963.4
35


of Litigation Trust Beneficial Interests on account of such Holders Allowed General Unsecured Claims as provided for in section 4.05(b) of the Plan. If Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims are paid in full under the terms of the Plan, and there remain amounts recovered by the Litigation Trustee for Distribution, then the remaining funds shall be turned over to THQI for Distribution in the same manner as Revested Assets.
(g)    Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Litigation Trust. The Litigation Trust will be established, in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(d) and Revenue Procedure 94-45, to liquidate the Derivative Actions. The Litigation Trust shall be formed solely for such purpose and shall have no objective to engage in or continue the conduct of a trade or business. The Litigation Trust is intended to qualify as a liquidating trust that is a grantor trust and therefore not a separate taxable entity for federal income tax purposes. The Holders of General Unsecured Claims shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as the grantors and deemed owners of the Litigation Trust and the Litigation Trustee and such Holders shall report consistently therewith.
(h)    Funding of Post-Effective Date Expenses. All Post-Effective Date Expenses of the Litigation Trustee and Litigation Trust shall be expenses of THQI, and THQI shall arrange for the disbursement of funds for the payment of such expenses from the Operating Reserve.

Unless a favorable ruling letter is obtained from the IRS providing that any further extension would not adversely affect the status of the Litigation Trust as a liquidating trust for federal income tax purposes, the Litigation Trust shall be dissolved no later than five (5) years from the Effective Date, unless the Bankruptcy Court, upon motion made prior to such fifth (5th) anniversary, determines that an extension for a fixed period of not more than (3) years (including any prior extensions) is necessary for the purposes for which the Litigation Trust was formed. Upon the filing of a motion for extension of the date of dissolution of the Litigation Trust, such date automatically shall be deemed extended until entry by the Bankruptcy Court of an Order resolving such motion or until the motion is withdrawn.
(j)    Securities Law Matters. To the extent the Litigation Trust Beneficial Interests in the Litigation Trust are deemed to be “securities,” the issuance of such Litigation Trust Beneficial Interests under the Plan is exempt, pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state and local laws mandating the registration of securities.
6.15    Protection Against Liability of the Stock Trustee and the Litigation Trustee.
165.01    Neither the Stock Trustee, the Litigation Trustee, nor any of their members or designees, nor any of their duly designated agents or representatives, nor their respective employees, shall be liable for the act or omission of any other member, designee, agent, or representative of such entities, nor shall any member be liable for any act or omission to be taken or not taken, other than acts resulting from such person’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

166.01    If any Impaired Class of Claims entitled to vote shall not accept the Plan by the requisite statutory majority provided in section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors shall have the right to amend the Plan in accordance with section 13.07 of the Plan or to ask the Bankruptcy Court to confirm the Plan under section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, or both. With respect to Impaired Classes of Claims and Equity Interests that are deemed to reject the Plan, the Debtors shall request that the Bankruptcy Court confirm the Plan pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.
7.02    Elimination of Vacant Classes.
167.01    Any Class of Claims or Equity Interests that does not have a Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest or a temporarily Allowed Claim or Equity Interest as of the date of the Confirmation Hearing shall be deemed eliminated from the Plan for purposes of voting to accept or reject the Plan and for purposes of determining acceptance or rejection of the Plan by such Class pursuant to section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code.
7.03    Voting Classes.
168.01    Holders of Claims or Equity Interests who are entitled to vote under the Plan are the Holders of such Claims or Equity Interests on the Voting Record Date. If a Class contains Claims or Equity Interests eligible to vote and no Holders of Claims or Equity Interests eligible to vote in such Class vote to accept or reject the Plan, the Plan shall be deemed accepted by the Holders of such Claims or Equity Interests in such Class. In the event the Bankruptcy Court determines that a Claim entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan was classified and voted in an improper Class, the Debtors may request that the Bankruptcy Court deem such Claim to have been voted and counted in the Class deemed proper by the Bankruptcy Court for purposes of determining acceptance or rejection of the Plan, without having to re-solicit the vote of the Holder of such Claim.
ARTICLE VIII.
PROVISIONS REGARDING DISTRIBUTIONS
AND RESERVES UNDER THE PLAN
8.01    Cash Distributions.

01:13642963.4
37


8.02    Setoffs and Recoupments.
170.01    THQI may, but shall not be required to, set off or recoup against any Claim (for purposes of determining the Allowed amount of such Claim on which Distributions shall be made), any Causes of Action of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors may have against the Holder of such Claim, but neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors of any Cause of Action he or they may have against the Holder of such Claim.
8.03    No De Minimis Distributions.
171.01    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no Distribution of less than $50.00 will be made on account of any Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest and no consideration will be provided in lieu of de minimis Distributions that are not made under this section 8.03; provided, however, that a Distribution will be made to a Holder of such Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest if the cumulative balance of Interim Distributions to such Holder, which were not made because each was less than $50.00 on account of such Holder’s Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest, is over $50.00. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, on any date of Distribution when there remains $10,000 or less available for Distribution to Holders of Allowed Claims or Allowed Equity Interests, in lieu of making further Distributions to such Holders, THQI may contribute the remaining Cash to a charity described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
8.04    Fractional Cents.
172.01    When payment of a fraction of a cent would otherwise be called for, the actual payment shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole cent (rounding down in the case of less than $0.005 and rounding up in the case of $0.005 or more); provided, however, that, in no event, shall a Distribution of less than $50.00 be made to a Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest.
8.05    No Distributions With Respect to Any Claim Until That Claim Is an Allowed Claim.
173.01    Notwithstanding any other Plan provision: (a) Distributions to Holders of Claims will be made only after, and only to the extent that, such Holders hold Allowed Claims; and (b) unless otherwise agreed by THQI, if any portion of a Claim is not yet an Allowed Claim, no Distribution shall be made to the Holder on account of such Claim unless and until the entire Claim is an Allowed Claim.

174.01
(a)    Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims (except Administrative Claims) will be made by mail as follows: (i) Distributions will be sent to the address, if any, set forth on a filed proof of claim, as amended by any written notice of address change received by THQI at least ten (10) Business Days before the date of a Distribution; or (ii) if no such address is available, Distributions will be sent to the address set forth on the Schedules.
(b)    Distributions to Holders of Allowed Administrative Claims shall be

01:13642963.4
38


made by mail to the address set forth in the Holder’s request for payment, fee application, or transactional documents, as applicable.
(c)    If no address is available on a proof of claim, on the Schedules, or on a request for payment, fee application, or transactional documents, as applicable, the Distribution will be deemed undeliverable. If a Distribution is returned to THQI as an undeliverable Distribution or is deemed to be an undeliverable Distribution, THQI will make no further Distributions to the Holder to which such undeliverable Distribution was made unless and until THQI is timely notified in writing of the Holder’s current address. Subject to the following paragraph 8.06(d), until an undeliverable Distribution becomes deliverable, THQI shall deposit undeliverable Distributions (whether returned or not made) into the Undeliverable Distributions Reserve for the benefit of the persons entitled to such Distributions. No interest shall be owed on account of undeliverable Distributions.
(d)    Any person or entity that is otherwise entitled to an undeliverable Distribution and that does not, within one-hundred eighty (180) days after a Distribution is deemed undeliverable or returned as undeliverable, provide THQI with a written notice asserting its claim to or interest in the undeliverable Distribution and setting forth a current, deliverable address, will be deemed to have waived any claim to or interest in the undeliverable Distribution and will be forever barred from receiving the undeliverable Distribution or asserting any claim therefor against the Debtors, the Estates, the Stock Trustee, the Litigation Trustee or their property. Any undeliverable Distribution that is not timely claimed under this section will be withdrawn from the Undeliverable Distribution Reserve and treated as Revested Assets. Nothing in the Plan requires the Debtors, the Stock Trustee or the Litigation Trustee to attempt to locate any person holding an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest whose Distribution is undeliverable.
8.07    Negotiation of Checks.
(a)    Checks issued in respect of Allowed Claims or Allowed Equity Interests shall be null and void if not negotiated within ninety (90) days after issuance. Requests for reissuance of stale checks must be made to THQI by the Holder of the Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest to whom the check was originally issued and must be made within one-hundred eighty (180) days of issuance of the original check. Thereafter, the amount represented by such voided check shall irrevocably revert to THQI and any Claim or Equity Interests in respect of such voided check shall be discharged and forever barred from assertion against the Debtors, the Estates, the Stock Trustee, the Litigation Trustee or their property.
8.08    Record Dates.
175.01    Holders of Claims or Equity Interests who are entitled to a Distribution under the Plan are the Holders of such Claims or Equity Interests on the Distribution Record Date. For the Voting Record Date and the Distribution Record Date (each, a “Record Date”), with respect to Claims the Debtors and THQI will rely on the security position report provided by DTC and register of proofs of claim filed in the Chapter 11 Cases, and with respect to Equity Interests the Debtors and THQI will rely on the records provided by the transfer agent, Computershare, along with the security position report provided by DTC, except to the extent a

01:13642963.4
39


notice of transfer of a Claim or Equity Interest was filed with the Bankruptcy Court prior to the applicable Record Date pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001.
8.09    Allocation of Plan Distributions Between Principal and Interest.
176.01    To the extent an Allowed Claim entitled to a Distribution under the Plan is comprised of indebtedness as well as accrued but unpaid interest thereon, such Distribution shall be allocated first to the principal amount of the Claim (as determined for federal income tax purposes) and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claim, to accrued but unpaid interest at the federal judgment rate in effect as of the Petition Date. Except as otherwise provided by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or in the Plan, Post-Effective Date Interest will be paid on account of Allowed General Unsecured Claims only to the extent THQI has Cash remaining after full payment of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims so that each such Holder receives a Pro Rata share of the surplus Cash. Post-Effective Date Interest will be paid to the Holders of Allowed Class 6 Claims only to the extent that THQI has Cash remaining after full payment of Allowed Class 6 Claims.
8.10    Sequence of Payments.
177.01
(a)    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no payments shall be made on account of Allowed Class 5 Claims, other than the Initial Class 5 Distribution, until: (i) all Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Claims, Allowed Convenience Claims, and Allowed Secured Claims, and all then outstanding and projected Post-Effective Date Expenses have been paid in full or are fully funded in the Operating Reserve; (ii) if applicable, Cash to pay all Disputed Administrative Claims has been deposited into the Administrative Claims Reserve; (iii) if applicable, Cash to pay all Disputed Secured Claims has been deposited into the Secured Claims Reserve; and (iv) if applicable, Cash to pay all Disputed Priority Claims and Disputed Convenience Claims has been deposited into the Priority/Convenience Claims Reserve.
(b)    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no payments of Post-Effective Date Interest shall be made on account of any Class 5 Claim, until all Allowed Class 5 Claims have been paid in full, excluding Post-Effective Date Interest.
(c)    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no payments shall be made on account of Allowed Subordinated Claims (Class 6) until all Allowed Class 5 Claims have been paid in full, including Post-Effective Date Interest.
(d)    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no payments shall be made on account of Allowed Securities Law Claims or Allowed Equity Interests, until all Allowed Class 6 Claims have been paid in full, including Post-Effective Date Interest. Allowed Securities Law Claims and Allowed Equity Interests shall be pari passu and Holders of such Claims and Equity Interests shall receive any surplus remaining after payment in full of all Allowed Class 5 Claims and Allowed Class 6 Claims. In the event there is such a surplus and there are Allowed Class 7 Claims (Securities Law Claims), the Bankruptcy Court will determine the appropriate basis for allocating the surplus between Securities Law Claims and Equity

01:13642963.4

Interests in order to comply with Bankruptcy Code section 510(b).
8.11    Withholding and Reporting Requirements.
178.01    THQI shall comply with the applicable withholding and reporting requirements imposed by federal, state, local, and foreign taxing authorities, and all Distributions shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. Amounts withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Authority shall be treated as having been distributed to Holders. Notwithstanding the forgoing, each Holder of an Allowed Claim shall be responsible for the satisfaction and payment of any Tax obligations imposed on the Holder by any Governmental Authority that were not withheld from amounts distributed to such Holder pursuant to the Plan. THQI has the right to hold back part or all of a Distribution to a Holder to the extent the Holder has not made arrangements satisfactory to THQI for the payment of any Tax obligation for which THQI would be liable if unpaid by the Holder, provided, that the funds held back shall be paid over by THQI to the applicable taxing authority, or made available to the Holder to use, to pay such Tax obligation. THQI may require, as a condition to receipt of a Distribution to a non-corporate and otherwise non-exempt U.S. Holder, that such Holder provide a completed Form W-9 to THQI. Non-U.S. Holders seeking THQI recognition of entitlement to the benefits of an applicable income tax treaty with the U.S. shall provide Form W-8s and other information as is required and sufficient to establish the Holder’s entitlement to a reduced or zero rate of withholding under the treaty, including, if applicable, information sufficient to establish the non-U.S. Holder’s entitlement to the portfolio interest exception from withholding.
8.12    Claims Register.
179.01    The register of Claims maintained by the Debtors shall be based on Allowed Claims as of the applicable Record Date. A transfer of a Claim, whether occurring prior to or after the Record Date, shall not affect or alter the classification and treatment of such Claim under the Plan and any such transferred Claim shall be subject to classification and treatment under the Plan as if such Claim was held by the transferor who held such Claim on the Record Date. As of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, (i) the register of Claims shall be closed, (ii) the transfer books and records of the Convertible Notes as maintained by the Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee (or its agents) shall be closed, and (iii) any transfer of any Claim shall be prohibited. The Debtors and the Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of any Claims, including without limitation any Convertible Notes Claims, occurring after the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, and shall instead be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes under the Plan with only those Holders of record as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date.
8.13    Reserves.
180.01    The following Reserves shall be established and funded by THQI according to the following terms. THQI shall have the right but not obligation to establish separate accounts for each of the Reserves.
(a)    Administrative Claims Reserve. Distributions to Holders of Allowed Administrative Claims on account of such Claims shall be made from the Administrative Claims Reserve. On or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the

01:13642963.4
41


Administrative Claims Reserve shall be established and funded with Cash to pay for all Administrative Claims, including any Disputed Administrative Claims, and pursuant to section 2.05(c) of the Plan for the amount established for Professional Fee Claims. THQI shall continue to fund the Administrative Claims Reserve as needed from Revested Assets. Subject to section 8.10, any Cash remaining in the Administrative Claims Reserve after all Administrative Claims have been resolved by Final Order and all Allowed Administrative Claims fully paid shall be released from the Administrative Claims Reserve and used as Revested Assets in accordance with the Plan.
(b)    Disputed Interim Distributions Reserve. Simultaneously with making an Interim Distribution THQI shall establish a Disputed Interim Distributions Reserve into which the Interim Distributions on account of General Unsecured Claims that are not yet Allowed Claims shall be deposited and withdrawn as provided in section 8.05. Subject to section 8.10, any Cash remaining in the Disputed Interim Distributions Reserve after all General Unsecured Claims have been resolved by Final Order shall be released from the Disputed Interim Distributions Reserve and used as Revested Assets in accordance with the Plan.
(c)    Priority/Convenience Claims Reserve. Distributions to Holders of Allowed Priority Claims and Allowed Convenience Claims on account of such Claims shall be made from the Priority/Convenience Claims Reserve. On or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Priority/Convenience Claims Reserve shall be established by THQI and funded by Cash to pay for all Priority Claims and Convenience Claims, including any Disputed Priority Claims and Disputed Convenience Claims. THQI shall continue to fund the Priority/Convenience Claims Reserve as needed from Revested Assets. Subject to section 8.10, any Cash remaining in the Priority/Convenience Claims Reserve after all Priority Claims and Convenience Claims have been resolved by Final Order and all Allowed Priority Claims and Allowed Convenience Claims have been fully paid shall be released from the Priority/Convenience Claims Reserve and used as Revested Assets in accordance with the Plan.
(d)    Operating Reserve. Payments of all Post-Effective Date Expenses shall be made from the Operating Reserve. On or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Operating Reserve shall be established by THQI and funded by Cash to pay for all projected Post-Effective Date Expenses. THQI shall continue to fund the Operating Reserve as needed from Revested Assets. Any Cash remaining in the Operating Reserve that THQI, the Stock Trustee and the Litigation Trustee agree is not necessary to fund their respective Post-Effective Date Expenses shall be released from the Operating Reserve and used as Revested Assets in accordance with the Plan.
(e)    Secured Claims Reserve. Distributions to Holders of Allowed Secured Claims shall be made from the Secured Claims Reserve. On or as soon as practicable after the period by which THQI must make an election as to the treatment of each Secured Claim, the Secured Claims Reserve shall be established by THQI and funded with Cash to pay for all Secured Claims, including any Disputed Secured Claims. THQI shall continue to fund the Secured Claims Reserve as needed from Revested Assets. Subject to section 8.10, any Cash remaining in the Secured Claims Reserve after all Secured Claims have been resolved by Final

01:13642963.4
42


Order and all such Allowed Secured Claims fully paid shall be released from the Secured Claims Reserve and used as Revested Assets in accordance with the Plan.
(f)    Undelivered Distributions Reserve. On or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, THQI shall establish an Undeliverable Distributions Reserve into which Undeliverable Distributions shall be deposited and withdrawn as provided in section 8.06.
(g)    Reduced or Disallowed Administrative, Priority or Secured Claims. To the extent a Disputed Claim (other than a General Unsecured Claim) for which Cash has been deposited into a Reserve is not allowed or becomes an Allowed Claim in an amount less than the amount retained in a Reserve with respect to such Claim, the amount that was retained in the Reserve on account of such Claim, or the excess of the amount that was retained on account of such Claim over the amount actually distributed on account of such Claim, shall be released from the Reserve and used as Revested Assets in accordance with the Plan.
(h)    Reserve Amounts for Disputed Administrative, Priority, and Secured Claims. For purposes of establishing reserves for Disputed Administrative Claims, Disputed Priority Claims, and Disputed Secured Claims, the amount of such Claims shall be the stated liquidated “face amount” of the Claim, unless the Claim is estimated to be a different amount by Order of the Bankruptcy Court. If such Disputed Claim does not provide a stated liquidated “face amount,” then the “face amount” shall be estimated by the Bankruptcy Court, and such estimated amount: (a) shall be used in calculating reserves for such Claim; and (b) shall set the maximum allowed amount of such Claim for purposes of Distributions on account of the Claim. Nothing in this section shall preclude THQI, or any Holder of a Disputed Claim on notice to THQI, from seeking an Order of the Bankruptcy Court in respect of or relating to the amount retained with respect to the Holder’s Disputed Claim.
(i)    Reserves Remain the Property of THQI. The Reserves designated in this section 8.13 are for accounting purposes only and do not alter the legal or beneficial ownership of the reserved amounts, which remain the property of THQI, until distributed to the Holders of Allowed Claims or, in the case of the Operating Reserve, until paid as Post-Effective Date Expenses.
8.14    Interim Distributions.
181.01
(a)    As soon as practicable after the satisfaction in full of, or the establishment of Reserves pursuant to section 8.13 for, Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Claims, and Allowed Secured Claims, THQI, subject to section 8.10, is authorized to make an Interim Distribution on account of Allowed Class 5 Claims.
(b)    THQI may, but is not required to, make Interim Distributions of Available Cash to Holders of Allowed Claims, no more often than quarterly, provided that each such Interim Distribution in the aggregate (including Interim Distributions deposited into the Interim Distributions Reserve) consists of no less than $1,000,000 of Available Cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) THQI may decide to make an Interim Distribution consisting

01:13642963.4
43


of less than $1,000,000 in the aggregate of Available Cash; and (ii) THQI must make an Interim Distribution at the end of each quarter on which THQI has more than $2,000,000 of Available Cash.
8.15    Calculation for Interim Distributions.
(a)    In calculating the amount of Interim Distributions, THQI shall treat all General Unsecured Claims that have not yet been Allowed (until and unless that Claim has been finally disallowed) as if each General Unsecured Claim had been Allowed in the least amount fixed by the following: (a) the filed amount of such Claim if such Claim states a fixed liquidated amount; (b) the amount determined by the Bankruptcy Court for purposes of fixing the amount to be retained for such Claim; and (c) such other amount as may be agreed upon by the Holder of such Claim and THQI. Nothing in this section shall preclude THQI, or any Holder of a Disputed General Unsecured Claim on notice to THQI, from seeking an Order of the Bankruptcy Court in respect of or relating to the amount retained with respect to such Holder’s Disputed Claim.
8.16    Deposits Into Disputed Interim Distributions Reserve.
182.01
(a)    At the time of making Interim Distributions, THQI shall deposit into the Disputed Interim Distributions Reserve the Interim Distributions that would have been paid on account of any not yet Allowed General Unsecured Claims had they been Allowed at the time of the Interim Distribution, calculated as set forth in section 8.15.
(b)    On the date of the first Distribution that is at least forty-five (45) days after the date that a General Unsecured Claim on account of which Interim Distributions have been deposited into the Disputed Interim Distributions Reserve becomes an Allowed Claim, THQI shall remit to the Holder of such Allowed Claim from the Disputed Interim Distributions Reserve Cash equal to the lesser of: (i) the amounts that would have been distributed on account of such Allowed Claim in any prior Interim Distribution(s); and (ii) the amounts retained with respect to such Claim in the Interim Distributions Reserve.
8.17    Final Distribution.
183.01    After: (a) all Claims have been resolved; (b) all Allowed Claims except General Unsecured Claims, Subordinated Claims and Securities Law Claims have been paid; (c) all material Revested Assets have been converted to Cash; and (d) the Operating Reserve has been adequately funded, THQI shall distribute all Net Proceeds to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Equity Interests pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, and taking into account any Distributions of Interim Distributions.
8.18    Distribution of Post-Effective Date Interest.
184.01    After THQI has paid all amounts due to Holders of Allowed Class 5 Claims, THQI shall pay any Post-Effective Date Interest to Holders of such Claims to the extent provided in the Plan.

01:13642963.4
44


8.19    Maximum Amount of Distributions.
185.01    In no event shall a Holder of an Allowed Claim be entitled to receive in the aggregate on account of such Allowed Claim more than the total amount of such Allowed Claim plus, to the extent provided in the Plan, interest accrued after the Petition Date on such amount.
8.20    No Recourse.
186.01    Notwithstanding that the Allowed amount of any particular Disputed Claim is reconsidered under the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules or is Allowed in an amount for which after application of the payment priorities established by the Plan there is insufficient value to provide a recovery equal to that received by other Holders of Allowed Claims in the respective Class, no Claim Holder shall have recourse against THQI, the Stock Trust, the Stock Trustee, the Litigation Trust, the Litigation Trustee, the Debtors, the Committee, or any of their respective professionals, consultants, officers, directors, employees or their successors or assigns, or any of their respective property. However, nothing in the Plan shall modify any right of a Holder of a Claim under section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, nor shall it modify or limit the ability of claimants (if any) to seek disgorgement to remedy any unequal Distribution from parties other than those released under this section. THE ESTIMATION OF CLAIMS AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF RESERVES UNDER THE PLAN MAY LIMIT THE DISTRIBUTION TO BE MADE ON INDIVIDUAL DISPUTED CLAIMS, REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT FINALLY ALLOWED ON ACCOUNT OF SUCH DISPUTED CLAIMS.
8.21    Satisfaction of Claims and Equity Interests.
187.01    Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, any Distributions and deliveries to be made on account of Allowed Claims under the Plan shall be in complete satisfaction of such Allowed Claims. Any Administrative Claim or Claim that has been paid or otherwise satisfied in full or in part may be reflected on the claims register by THQI as satisfied (in full or in part) and reduced by such amount for purposes of Distributions or any other treatment under the Plan without a claims objection having to be filed and without any further notice to or action, Order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
8.22    Distributions to Holders of the Convertible Notes Claims.
188.01    All Distributions to be made under the Plan to Holders of Convertible Notes Claims shall be made to the Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee, which, subject to the right of the Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee to assert its Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee Charging Lien against such Distributions, shall transmit such Distributions to the Holders of such Convertible Notes Claims. All payments to Holders of Convertible Notes Claims shall only be made to such Holders after the surrender by each such Holder of the certificates representing such Convertible Notes Claim, or in the event that such certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, upon such Holder’s compliance with the requirements set forth in section 8.24 below. Upon such Holder’s surrender of any certificates, the Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee shall cancel and destroy such certificates. As soon as practicable after surrender of certificates evidencing the Convertible Notes Claims, the Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee shall

01:13642963.4
45


distribute to the Holder thereof such Holder’s Pro Rata share of such Distributions, if any, and at all times subject to the rights of the Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee to assert its Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee Charging Lien against such Distribution.
8.23    Delivery and Surrender of the Convertible Notes.
189.01    [Intentionally omitted.]
8.24    Lost or Stolen Notes.
190.01    Holders of any Convertible Note shall surrender all such Convertible Notes to the Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee. No Distribution hereunder shall be made to or on behalf of any such holder unless and until such Convertible Note is received by the Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee, or the loss, theft or destruction of such Convertible Note is established to the satisfaction of the Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee, including requiring such holder (i) to submit a lost instrument affidavit and an indemnity bond, and (ii) to hold the Debtors and the Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee harmless in respect of such Convertible Note and any Distributions made in respect thereof. Upon compliance with this section 8.24 by a holder of any Convertible Note, such holder shall, for all purposes under the Plan, be deemed to have surrendered such Convertible Note. Any such holder that fails to surrender such Convertible Note or satisfactorily explain its non-availability to the Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee within eighteen (18) months of the Effective Date shall be deemed to have no further Claim against the Debtors, the Stock Trustee, the Litigation Trustee or their property or the Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee in respect of such Claim and shall not participate in any Distribution hereunder, and the Distribution that would otherwise have been made to such holder, if any, shall be returned to THQI for Distribution to all Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims or to those otherwise entitled to Distribution under section 8.10 of the Plan.
8.25    Additional Fees and Expenses of the Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee.
191.01     To the extent that the Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee provides services related to solicitation and Distributions pursuant to the Plan, the Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee will receive from THQI, without further Bankruptcy 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 Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee and THQI.
ARTICLE IX.
LITIGATION AND DISPUTED CLAIMS
9.01    Preservation of Causes of Action And Derivative Actions.
192.01
(a)    As of the Effective Date, THQI shall retain all rights on behalf of the Debtors and the Estates to commence, pursue, and settle, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action (including Avoidance Actions), whether arising before or after the Petition Date, in any court or other tribunal, including, without limitation, an adversary proceeding filed in the Cases. The failure to explicitly list any Causes of Action and other potential or existing claims of the

01:13642963.4
46


Debtors or Estates is not intended to limit the rights of THQI to pursue any Causes of Action and claims not so identified. The Debtors shall file a non-exhaustive list of Causes of Action at least ten (10) Business Days before the Confirmation Hearing; provided, however, that notwithstanding any otherwise applicable principle of law or equity, including any principles of judicial estoppel, res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, or any similar doctrine, the failure to list, disclose, describe, identify, analyze, or refer to any Cause of Action, or potential Cause of Action, in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or any other document filed with the Bankruptcy Court shall in no manner waive, eliminate, modify, release, or alter the Debtors’, Estates’, or the Litigation Trustee’s right to commence, prosecute, defend against, settle, and realize upon any Cause of Action that the Debtors or the Estates have or may have as of the Confirmation Date. THQI may commence, prosecute, defend against, recover on account of, and settle all Causes of Action in THQI’s sole discretion in accordance with what is in the best interests, and for the benefit, of Holders of Allowed Claims and Interests and the Debtors.
(b)    As of the Effective Date, the Litigation Trust shall be deemed to have received a transfer of all rights on behalf of the Debtors and the Estates to commence, pursue, settle, as appropriate, any and all Derivative Actions, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, in any court or other tribunal, including, without limitation, an adversary proceeding in the Chapter 11 Cases. Notwithstanding any otherwise applicable principle of law or equity, including any principles of judicial estoppel, res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, or any similar doctrine, the failure to list, disclose, describe, identify, analyze, or refer to any Derivative Action in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or any other document filed with the Bankruptcy Court shall in no manner waive, eliminate, modify, release, or alter the Litigation Trustee’s right to commence, prosecute, defend against, settle, and realize upon any Derivative Action that the Debtors or the Estates have or may have as of the Confirmation Date. The Litigation Trustee may commence, prosecute, defend against, recover on account of, and settle all Derivative Action in the Litigation Trustee’s sole discretion in accordance with what is in the best interests, and for the benefit, of Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Equity Interests and the Debtors.
(c)    Unless a Cause of Action or Derivative Action against a person is expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised, or settled by Final Order, the Debtors expressly reserve such Causes of Action and Derivative Actions for later adjudication (including, without limitation, Causes of Action and Derivative Actions of which the Debtors may presently be unaware, or which may arise or exist by reason of additional facts or circumstances unknown to the Debtors at this time, or facts or circumstances which may change or be different from those which the Debtors now believe to exist) and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, waiver, estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise), or laches shall apply to any Cause of Action or Derivative Action upon, or after, the Confirmation Date or consummation of the Plan based on the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, or the Confirmation Order, except where such Causes of Action and Derivative Actions have been expressly released by Final Order.
9.02    No Waiver.
193.01    Neither the failure to list a Claim in the Schedules, the failure of any

01:13642963.4
47


person to object to a Claim for purposes of voting, the failure of any person to object to a Claim prior to the Confirmation Date or the Effective Date, the failure of any person to assert a Cause of Action prior to Confirmation of the Plan or the Effective Date, the absence of a proof of Claim having been filed with respect to a Claim, nor any action or inaction of any person with respect to a Claim, or Cause of Action other than a legally effective express waiver or release shall be deemed a waiver or release of the right of the Debtors, the Estates, the Litigation Trustee, or their successors or representatives, before or after solicitation of votes on the Plan or before or after the Confirmation Date or the Effective Date to: (a) object to or examine such Claim, in whole or in part; or (b) retain and either assign or exclusively assert, pursue, prosecute, utilize, or otherwise act on or enforce any Cause of Action. Any person with respect to which the Debtors have incurred an obligation (whether on account of services, purchase or sale of property, or otherwise), or which has received services from the Debtors or a transfer of money or property of the Debtors, or who has transacted business with the Debtors, or leased equipment or property from or to the Debtors should assume that such obligation, transfer, or transaction may be reviewed by THQI subsequent to the Effective Date and may, if appropriate, be the subject of an action after the Effective Date, whether or not (i) such person has filed a proof of Claim against the Debtors; (ii) such person’s proof of Claim has been objected to by THQI, or any other person; (iii) such person’s Claim was included in the Schedules; or (iv) such person’s scheduled Claims have been objected to by the Debtors, or any other person, or has been identified as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated.
9.03    Late-Filed Claims.
194.01    On the Effective Date, except as otherwise agreed by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date in consultation with the Committee, and thereafter by THQI, or unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, any and all Administrative Claims and Claims filed twenty (20) days or more after the applicable Bar Date shall be automatically deemed disallowed in full for purposes of Distribution or any other treatment under the Plan as of the Effective Date without any further notice to or action, Order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court and Holders of such Claims may not receive any Distribution on account of such Claims.  To the extent a party in interest wishes to file a late Administrative Claim or Claim after the Effective Date, such party in interest shall either obtain written consent from THQI to file such late-filed Administrative Claim or Claim or obtain an Order of the Bankruptcy Court permitting the late-filed Administrative Claim or Claim.  In the event an Administrative Claim or Claim is permitted to be late-filed, THQI shall have one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date the Holder is permitted to file the late Claim to object to such Claim.
9.04    Amendments to Claims.
195.01    After the Effective Date, a proof of Claim may not be amended without the authorization of the Bankruptcy Court. On the Effective Date, except as otherwise agreed by the Debtors in consultation with the Committee prior to the Effective Date, and thereafter by THQI, or unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, any Administrative Claim or Claim that amends or supersedes an Administrative Claim or Claim shall be automatically deemed disallowed in full for purposes of Distribution or any other treatment under the Plan as of the Effective Date without any further notice to or action, Order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court and Holders of such Claims may not receive any Distribution on account of such Claims.

01:13642963.4
48


9.05    Objections to and Resolution of Disputed Claims.
196.01    On and after the Effective Date, THQI shall have the right to make and file objections to Claims and to prosecute, settle, and/or withdraw such objections. THQI, with approval of the Bankruptcy Court, shall have the authority to compromise, settle, withdraw, or otherwise resolve any objection to any Claim. THQI shall, no later than one-hundred eighty (180) days after the later of (a) the Effective Date or (b) the date on which a proof of Claim is filed with the Bankruptcy Court (the “Claim Objection Deadline”), file and serve all objections to Claims (other than Administrative Claims which are subject to section 2.02) upon the Holder of the Claim to which the objection is made. THQI may extend the Claim Objection Deadline for a single one-hundred twenty (120) day period by filing a notice of the extended deadline with the Bankruptcy Court; provided, however, that nothing herein shall modify the statute of limitations for any affirmative Cause of Action that THQI may assert against any third party. Thereafter, the deadline may be further extended only by an Order of the Bankruptcy Court.
9.06    Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee as Claim Holder.
197.01    Consistent with Rule 3003(c) of the Bankruptcy Rules, (a) the Debtors shall recognize the proofs of claim filed by the Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee in respect of the Convertible Notes Claims, and (b) any other Claim, solely to the extent that such Claim is arising from or relating to the Convertible Notes Indenture or the Convertible Notes, may be automatically disallowed as duplicative of the Claims of the Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee without any further action or Bankruptcy Court Order.

198.01    Each Debtor is authorized and empowered, but not required, to merge into or with each other Debtor to take and cause to be taken such actions as are necessary to carry out such mergers, in each case, on such terms and conditions it may deem necessary or desirable. THQI is authorized and empowered to file all tax returns for the Debtors, and may, if appropriate, (a) effect the dissolution of the Debtors other than THQI as soon as practicable after the Effective Date and (b) effect the dissolution of THQI and any remaining Debtors after all Distributions have been completed.

The Stock Trustee and the Litigation Trustee shall not be personally liable for this indemnification obligation or the payment of any expense of administering the Plan or any other liability incurred in connection with the Plan, and no person shall look to the Stock Trustee or the Litigation Trustee personally for the payment of any such expense or liability.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, if the Plan is not confirmed or the Effective Date does not occur, the Plan will be null and void, and nothing contained in the Plan will: (a) be deemed to be an admission by the Debtors or the Estates with respect to any matter discussed in the Plan, including liability on any Claim or the propriety of any Claim’s classification; (b) constitute a waiver, acknowledgement, or release of any Claims, Interests, or any claims held by the Debtors or the Estates; or (c) prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtors or the Estates in any further proceedings.
11.14    Withdrawal of Plan.
215.01
(a)    Right to Revoke or Withdraw. The Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan at any time prior to the Effective Date.
(b)    Effect of Withdrawal, Revocation or Non-Consummation.

In such event, nothing contained herein, and no acts taken in preparation for consummation of the Plan shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or release of any Claims by or against or Equity Interests in the Debtors or any other person, to prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtors or any person in any further proceedings involving the Debtors, or to constitute an admission of any sort by the Debtors or any other person.

Any party removed from the 2002 List in accordance with this paragraph shall be added back to the 2002 List promptly upon the filing and service of a renewed request by such party in accordance with this paragraph.

Debtors (the “Releasees”). The Committee agreed to support the Debtors’ request for authority of the Bankruptcy Court to grant a general release to the Releasees if Space Investors agreed to submit an additional bid at the Auction, resulting in increase to the total purchase price of the Acquired Assets. Space Investors thereafter submitted such a bid and the other bidders submitted additional overbids. Although Space Investors was ultimately not the successful bidder, the additional bids submitted by Space Investors and in response to Space Investors’ bids, resulted in a total increase in the amount received by the Debtors of more than $3 million.
