Hipcricket, Inc., the Debtor and Debtor-in-Possession in the above-referenced Bankruptcy Case, and ESW Capital, LLC, in its capacity as the Plan Sponsor, jointly propose the Amended Plan of Reorganization of the Debtor dated March 31, 2015, as modified.  Reference is made to the Disclosure Statement Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1125 in Support of the Amended Plan of Reorganization of the Debtor  for a discussion of the Debtor’s history, business, property and results of operations, and for a summary of the Plan and certain related matters.
 
All Creditors are encouraged to read the Plan and the Disclosure Statement in their entirety before voting to accept or reject the Plan.  No materials, other than the Disclosure Statement and any exhibits and schedules attached thereto or referenced therein, have been approved by the Proponents for use in soliciting acceptances or rejections of the Plan.
 
For avoidance of doubt, the Plan applies and preserves the maximum global jurisdiction possible under applicable U.S. law, including, without limitation, over the assets of the Debtor wherever located.  The Plan is also consistent with and implements the decisions of the Bankruptcy Court that are described in the Disclosure Statement.
 
ARTICLE I
SUMMARY OF THE PLAN
 
An overview of the Plan is set forth in the Disclosure Statement.  Generally, the Plan provides for (1) the reorganization of the Debtor by retiring, cancelling, extinguishing and/or discharging the Debtor’s prepetition equity interests and issuing New Equity to the Plan Sponsor and to the DIP Lender, to the extent that it exercises the Subscription Option, and (2) the distribution of Cash and rights to certain litigation recoveries to holders of Allowed Claims in accordance with the priority scheme established by the Bankruptcy Code.
 
The reorganization of the Debtor and its estate described herein will be implemented via (1) issuance of a portion of New Equity to ESW Capital, LLC or an affiliate, in its capacity as the Plan Sponsor, in exchange for the Consideration; (2) receipt of a portion of the New Equity by ESW Capital, LLC, in its capacity as DIP Lender, pursuant to the Subscription Option; (3) distribution of the Consideration to the Creditors; and (4) creation of the Distribution Trust to pursue certain avoidance claims and causes of action for the benefit of Creditors.
 
ARTICLE II
DEFINITIONS, RULES OF INTERPRETATION, AND CONSTRUCTION OF TERMS
 
2.1. All capitalized terms not defined elsewhere in the Plan shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Glossary of Defined Terms attached as Exhibit A to the Plan.  Any capitalized term used in the Plan that is not defined herein has the meaning ascribed to that term in the Bankruptcy Code and/or Bankruptcy Rules.
 
2.2. For purposes of the Plan, any reference in the Plan to an existing document or exhibit filed or to be filed means that document or exhibit as it may have been or may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified.
 
2.3. The words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to the Plan as a whole and not to any particular section, subsection or clause contained in the Plan, unless the context requires otherwise.  Whenever from the context it appears appropriate, each term stated in either the singular or the plural includes the singular and the plural, and pronouns stated in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender include the masculine, feminine and the neuter.  The section headings contained in the Plan are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of the Plan.
 
2.4. Captions and headings to articles, sections and exhibits are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the interpretation of the Plan.
 
2.5. The rules of construction set forth in section 102 of the Bankruptcy Code shall apply.
 
2.6. In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by the Plan, the provisions of Bankruptcy Rule 9006(a) shall apply.
 
ARTICLE III
DESIGNATION OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS
 
3.1 Summary
 
Pursuant to section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code, a Claim or Equity Interest is placed in a particular Class for purposes of voting on the Plan and receiving Distributions under the Plan only to the extent (i) the Claim or Equity Interest qualifies within the description of that Class; (ii) the Claim or Equity Interest is an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest in that Class, and is classified in another Class or Classes to the extent that any remainder of the Claim or Equity Interest qualifies within the description of such other Class or Classes; and (iii) the Claim or Equity Interest has not been paid, released, or otherwise compromised before the Effective Date.  A Claim or Equity Interest which is not an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest, including a Disputed Claim, is not in any Class, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, no Distribution shall be made on account of any Claim or Equity Interest which is not an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest.  In accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Administrative Claims, Professional Compensation Claims, and Priority Tax Claims are not classified under the Plan and are excluded from the following Classes.
 
3.2 Identification of Classes
 
The following is a designation of the classes of Claims and Equity Interests under the Plan.
 
Class 1: Secured Claims
Class 2: Priority Unsecured Non-Tax Claims
Class 3: General Unsecured Claims
Class 4: Subordinated Claims
Class 5: Equity Interests

 
-1-

 

3.3 Unimpaired Classes
 
Classes 1 and 2 are unimpaired under the Plan.  Under section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, holders of Claims in Classes 1 and 2 are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan and are therefore not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
 
3.4 Impaired Classes/Entitled to Vote
 
Class 3 is impaired under the Plan.  Holders of Claims in Class 3 are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
 
3.5 Impaired Classes/Not Entitled to Vote
 
Holders of Subordinated Claims in Class 4 and Holders of Allowed Equity Interests in Class 5 will not receive Distributions on account of such Claims under the Plan.  Under section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, holders of Subordinated Claims in Class 4 and Holders of Allowed Equity Interests in Class 5 are conclusively presumed to have rejected the Plan, and therefore the Proponents will not solicit their votes.
 
3.6 Elimination of Classes for Voting Purposes
 
Any Class of Claims or Equity Interests that is not occupied as of the date of the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing by an Allowed Claim, an Allowed Equity Interest, or a Claim or Equity Interest temporarily allowed under Rule 3018 of the Bankruptcy Rules shall be deemed deleted from the Plan for purposes of voting on acceptance or rejection of the Plan by such Class under section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
3.7 Controversy Concerning Classification, Impairment or Voting Rights
 
In the event a controversy or dispute should arise involving issues related to the classification, impairment or voting rights of any Creditor or Interest Holder under the Plan, whether before or after the Confirmation Date, the Bankruptcy Court may, after notice and a hearing, determine such controversy.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Bankruptcy Court may estimate for voting purposes (i) the amount of any contingent or unliquidated Claim the fixing or liquidation of, as the case may be, would unduly delay the administration of the Bankruptcy Case and (ii) any right to payment arising from an equitable remedy for breach of performance.
 
ARTICLE IV
TREATMENT OF UNCLASSIFIED CLAIMS
 
4.1 Administrative Claims
 
(a) General:  Except with regards to the Ordinary Course Liabilities, including Allowed DIP Claim, subject to the bar date provisions herein, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, each holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim shall receive, from the Consideration, Cash equal to the unpaid portion of such Allowed Administrative Claim within ten (10) days after the later of (a) the Effective Date, (b) the Allowance Date, or (c) such date as is mutually agreed upon by the Proponents and the holder of such Claim.
 
(b) Allowed DIP Claims: The DIP Claim is Allowed in full.  (i) Pursuant to the Subscription Option, the DIP Lender, as a Qualified Ordinary Course Creditor, shall have the option, on account of being the holder of the Allowed DIP Claim, to exchange a total of up to $3,000,000 in satisfaction of such amount of its Allowed Claim for up to a total of 600 shares, equal to 60 percent, of the issued New Equity, at a rate of $5,000 of its Allowed DIP Claim for one (1) share of New Equity, and (ii) the DIP Lender, on account of being the holder of the Allowed DIP Claim, shall receive, from the Consideration, payment in Cash of the remaining amount of the Allowed DIP Claim after the DIP Lender has exercised the Subscription Option to receive its share of the New Equity. On the Effective Date, all liens and interests granted in exchange for the DIP Note shall be deemed discharged, cancelled, and released and shall be of no further force and effect. The Consideration payable by the Plan Sponsor under the Plan shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis to reflect any and all Claims exchanged for New Equity pursuant to the Subscription Option.
 
(c) Payment of Statutory Fees:  All fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930 shall be paid in Cash equal to the amount of such Administrative Claim when due or no later than the Effective Date.  Postpetition U.S. Trustee fees and post-confirmation reports shall be paid and filed as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1930 until the Bankruptcy Case is closed, converted or dismissed, and failure to do either timely is a material default pursuant to section 1112 of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
(d) Bar Date for Administrative Claims:
 
(i) General Provisions:  Except as otherwise provided in this Article IV, requests for payment of Administrative Claims must be included within an application (setting forth the amount of, and basis for, such Administrative Claims, together with documentary evidence) and Filed and served on respective counsel for the Debtor and Plan Sponsor no later than ten (10) days after the Confirmation Hearing or by such earlier deadline governing a particular Administrative Claim contained in an order of the Bankruptcy Court entered before the Effective Date.  Holders of Administrative Claims (including, without limitation, professionals requesting compensation or reimbursement of expenses and the holders of any Claims for federal, state or local taxes) that are required to File a request for payment of such Claims and that do not File such requests by the applicable bar date specified in this section shall be forever barred from asserting such Claims against the Debtor or any of its property.  Requests for payments of Administrative Claims included within a proof of claim are of no force and effect, and are disallowed in their entirety as of the Confirmation Date unless such Administrative Claim is subsequently Filed in a timely fashion as provided herein.

 
-2-

 
 
(ii) Professionals:  All professionals or other entities requesting compensation or reimbursement of expenses pursuant to sections 327, 328, 330, 331, 503(b) and 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code for services rendered before the Effective Date (including, without limitation, any compensation requested by any professional or any other entity for making a substantial contribution in the Bankruptcy Case) shall File and serve on the Reorganized Debtor and Post-Confirmation Service List an application for final allowance of compensation and reimbursement of expenses no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date.  Objections to applications of professionals for compensation or reimbursement of expenses must be filed and served on the Reorganized Debtor, the U.S. Trustee, and the professionals to whose application the objections are addressed no later than twenty-one (21) days after the date the application is filed, or the Bankruptcy Court may enter an order authorizing the fees without a hearing.  Any professional fees and reimbursements or expenses incurred by the Reorganized Debtor subsequent to the Effective Date may be paid without application to the Bankruptcy Court.
 
(iii) Tax Claims:  All requests for payment of Administrative Claims and other Claims by a Governmental Unit for taxes (and for interest and/or penalties related to such taxes) for any tax year or period, which accrued or was assessed within the period from and including the Petition Date through and including the Effective Date (“Post-Petition Tax Claims”) and for which no bar date has otherwise been previously established, must be Filed on or before the later of (i) forty-five (45) days following the Effective Date; and (ii) ninety (90) days following the filing with the applicable Governmental Unit of the tax return for such taxes for such tax year or period.  Any holder of any Post-Petition Tax Claim that is required to File a request for payment of such taxes and does not File such a Claim by the applicable bar date shall be forever barred from asserting any such Post-Petition Tax Claim against the Debtor or its property, whether any such Post-Petition Tax Claim is deemed to arise prior to, on, or subsequent to the Effective Date.  To the extent that the holder of a Post-Petition Tax Claim holds a lien to secure its Claim under applicable state law, the holder of such Claim shall retain its lien until its Allowed Post-Petition Tax Claim has been paid in full.
 
4.2 Allowed Priority Tax Claims
 
Each Holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim against Debtor shall receive, from the Consideration,  in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, and in exchange for, such Allowed Priority Tax Claim (i) Cash equal to the amount of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim, (ii) payment in full through the fifth anniversary of the Petition Date, plus interest, or (iii) such other less favorable treatment to the Holders of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim as to which the Debtor, or the Proponents and the Holder of such Allowed Priority Tax Claims shall have agreed upon in writing.
 
4.3 Ordinary Course Liabilities
 
A holder of an Ordinary Course Liability is not required to file or serve any request for payment of the Ordinary Course Liability. The Debtor shall continue to pay each Ordinary Course Liability (other than the Allowed DIP Claim, as provided for in Section 4.1(b)) accrued prior to the Effective Date, pursuant to the payment terms and conditions of the particular transaction giving rise to the Ordinary Course Liability, and the Approved Budget. The Reorganized Debtor shall continue to pay each Ordinary Course Liability accrued after the Effective Date, pursuant to the payment terms and conditions of the particular transaction giving rise to the Ordinary Course Liability.

ARTICLE VI
MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN
 
6.1 Continued Corporate Existence
 
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Reorganized Debtor will continue to exist after the Effective Date as a corporate entity, with all of the powers of a corporation under applicable law in the jurisdiction in which the Debtor is incorporated and pursuant to its Charter Documents in effect before the Effective Date, as such documents are amended by or pursuant to the Plan.
 
Upon the Effective Date, and without any further action by the shareholders, directors, or officers of the Reorganized Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor’s Charter Documents shall be deemed amended (a) to the extent necessary, to incorporate the provisions of the Plan, and (b) to prohibit the issuance by the Reorganized Debtor of nonvoting securities to the extent required under section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, subject to further amendment of such Charter Documents as permitted by applicable law.
 
6.2 Management and Board of Directors
 
The members of the board of directors of the Debtor existing immediately before the Effective Date shall be deemed terminated and/or removed without cause effective immediately prior to the Effective Date.  The Plan Sponsor may nominate and elect new members for the board of directors of the Reorganized Debtor in accordance with the Reorganized Debtor’s bylaws.
 
6.3 Arrangements with the Distribution Trustee
 
By April 27, 2015, the Debtor, following consultation with the Committee, shall file with the Bankruptcy Court a disclosure identifying the Distribution Trustee under the Distribution Trust.  At the Confirmation Hearing, the Bankruptcy Court shall ratify such Distribution Trustee.  All compensation for the Distribution Trustee shall be paid from the Distribution Trust Assets in accordance with the Distribution Trust Agreement.  The approved person shall serve as the Distribution Trustee on execution of the Distribution Trust Agreement at the Closing.
 
6.4 The Closing
 
The Closing of the transactions required and contemplated under the Plan shall take place on the Effective Date at the offices of Haynes and Boone, LLP, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, 26th Floor, New York, New York 10112, or at such other place identified in a notice provided to those parties listed in Section 13.12 of the Plan.  The Proponents may reschedule the Closing by making an announcement at the originally scheduled Closing of the new date for the Closing.  A notice of the rescheduled Closing shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on the parties identified in Section 13.12 of the Plan within two (2) days after the originally scheduled Closing.  All documents to be executed and delivered by any party as provided in this Article VI and all actions to be taken by any party to implement the Plan as provided herein shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Proponents.  The following actions shall occur at or before the Closing (unless otherwise specified), and shall be effective on the Effective Date:
 
(a) Execution of Documents and Corporate Action.  The Debtor shall deliver all documents and perform all actions reasonably contemplated with respect to implementation of the Plan.  The Chief Executive Officer, or his designee, is authorized (i) to execute on behalf of the Debtor, in a representative capacity and not individually, any documents or instruments after the Confirmation Date or at the Closing that may be necessary to consummate the Plan and (ii) to undertake any other action on behalf of the Debtor to consummate the Plan.  Each of the matters provided for under the Plan involving the corporate structure of the Debtor or corporate action to be taken by or required of the Debtor will, as of the Effective Date, be deemed to have occurred and be effective as provided herein, and shall be authorized, approved, and (to the extent taken before the Effective Date) ratified in all respects without any requirement of further action by stockholders, creditors, or directors of the Debtor.
 
(b) Cancellation of Equity Interests and Issuance of New Equity.  On the Effective Date, all prepetition Equity Interests of Debtor shall be retired, cancelled, extinguished and/or discharged in accordance with the terms of the Plan, and 1,000 shares of New Equity of the Reorganized Debtor shall be issued.  The New Equity shall be free and clear of all Liens, Claims, and encumbrances of any kind, except as otherwise provided in the Plan.
 
 
-4-

 
 
(c) Funding of the Consideration.  On the Effective Date, the Plan Sponsor shall contribute to the Debtor an amount of Cash equal to the Consideration in consideration of the Plan Sponsor’s purchase of the New Equity. The Consideration is not subject to any financing contingency.  The Allowed Equity Interests shall be terminated and cancelled and the holders of the Allowed Equity Interests shall neither retain nor receive any property under the Plan. The Consideration shall be used to fund Distributions under the Plan.  To the extent DIP Lender does not fully exercise the Subscription Option, the Plan Sponsor will acquire the remaining shares of New Equity for the remainder of the Consideration. The Consideration payable by the Plan Sponsor under the Plan shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis to reflect any and all Claims exchanged for New Equity pursuant to the Subscription Option.
 
(d) Execution and Ratification of the Distribution Trust Agreement.  On the Effective Date, the Distribution Trust Agreement shall be executed by all parties thereto.  The Distribution Trust Agreement shall be provided in the Plan Supplement.  Each holder of a Claim shall be deemed to have ratified and become bound by the terms and conditions of the Distribution Trust Agreement.
 
(e) Payment of Certain Obligations.  Upon the funding of the Consideration as provided above in subsection (c), as soon as practicable thereafter, Todd Wilson, as the Chief Executive Officer and a representative of the Debtor, shall be authorized and directed to have the Debtor effectuate, funded from the Consideration, (i) the payments to eligible employees authorized under and subject to the Court’s Final Order Approving Amended Key Employee Incentive Plan and Authorizing Payments Thereunder entered on March 31, 2015 [Docket No. 287] (provided that the Debtor shall be authorized, in its discretion, to make any appropriate tax withholdings), and (ii) the payment to SITO Mobile, Ltd. of the Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement, as such capitalized terms are defined in, and pursuant and subject to, the Court’s Order (A) Approving Bid Procedures for the Sale of Substantially All of Debtor’s Assets Outside the Ordinary Course of Business; (B) Scheduling an Auction and Hearing to Consider the Sale and Approve the Form and Manner of Notice Related Thereto; (C) Approving Payment of a Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement; and (D) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 118].  Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, the portion of the Consideration used to fund the foregoing payments shall be controlled by the Debtor and used strictly for the afore-mentioned purposes, and shall not constitute a part of the Distribution Trust Fund or a Distribution Trust Asset.
 
(f) Transfer of Distribution Trust Assets.  All property of the Debtor constituting the Distribution Trust Assets (subject to the foregoing subsection (e)) shall be conveyed and transferred by the Debtor to the Distribution Trust, free and clear of all Liens, Claims, interests, and encumbrances.
 
6.5 Tax Treatment of the Distribution Trust
 
The Distribution Trust established under the Plan is established for the purpose of satisfying General Unsecured Claims by liquidating the Distribution Trust Assets transferred to the Distribution Trust and performing related and incidental functions referenced in the Distribution Trust Agreement, and the Distribution Trust shall have no objective of continuing or engaging in any trade or business except to the extent reasonably necessary to, and consistent with, the liquidating purpose of the trust.  The purpose of the Distribution Trust is to provide a mechanism for the liquidation of the Distribution Trust Assets, and to distribute the proceeds of the liquidation, net of all claims, expenses, charges, liabilities, and obligations of the Distribution Trust, to the Beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the Plan.  No business activities will be conducted by the Distribution Trust other than those associated with or related to the liquidation of the Distribution Trust Assets.  It is intended that the Distribution Trust be classified for federal income tax purposes as a “liquidating trust” within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(d).  All parties and Beneficiaries shall treat the transfers in trust described herein as transfers to the Beneficiaries for all purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (including Sections 61(a)(12), 483, 1001, 1012, and 1274 thereof).  All the parties and Beneficiaries shall treat the transfers in trust as if all the transferred assets, including all the Distribution Trust Assets, had been first transferred to the Beneficiaries and then transferred by the Beneficiaries to the Distribution Trust.  The Beneficiaries shall be treated for all purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as the grantors of the Distribution Trust and the owners of the Distribution Trust.  The Distribution Trustee shall file returns for the Distribution Trust as a grantor trust pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.671-4(a) or (b).  All parties, including the Beneficiaries and the Distribution Trustee, shall value the Distribution Trust Assets consistently, and such valuations shall be used for all federal income tax purposes.  Beneficiaries may wish to consult with a tax professional regarding the tax consequences of holding a Beneficial Interest in or receiving a Distribution from the Distribution Trust.
 
6.6 Right to Enforce, Compromise, or Adjust Distribution Trust Assets
 
The Distribution Trustee shall have and retain the sole and full power, authority, and standing to prosecute, compromise, or otherwise resolve the Distribution Trust Avoidance Actions assigned to the Distribution Trust, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Distribution Trust Agreement and the rights of the Oversight Board thereunder.  All proceeds derived from such causes of action shall constitute Distribution Trust Assets.
 
6.7 Preservation of Rights of Action
 
The Reorganized Debtor shall retain and shall have the exclusive right to enforce any and all claims, rights and causes of action arising from its IP.  Unless any Claims against a Person are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, transferred to the Distribution Trust or settled in the Plan or by a Final Order, in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Debtor shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue any and all retained causes of action, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, and the Reorganized Debtor’s rights to commence, prosecute or settle such causes of action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision herein, neither the Reorganized Debtor nor any other Person acting in their name or on their behalf shall prosecute or pursue any Avoidance Actions against any Person that is not an Insider of any Debtor.

ARTICLE VII
PROVISIONS GOVERNING RESOLUTION OF CLAIMS
AND DISTRIBUTIONS OF PROPERTY UNDER THE PLAN
 
7.1 Right to Object to Claims
 
The Plan Sponsor and the Reorganized Debtor shall have the authority, but not the obligation, to object to, litigate, and settle, the amount, priority or the extent of any Administrative Claim, Secured Claim, Priority Tax Claim, or Priority Unsecured Non-Tax Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Distribution Trust Agreement and the rights of the Oversight Board thereunder, and notwithstanding any requirements that may be imposed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, except insofar as a Claim is Allowed under the Plan on and after the Effective Date, the Distribution Trustee shall have the authority, but not the obligation, to: (1) file, withdraw or litigate to judgment objections to and requests for estimation of Claims; (2) settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without any further notice to or action, order or approval by the Bankruptcy Court; and (3) administer and adjust the Claims register to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order or approval by the Bankruptcy Court.  The Distribution Trustee shall succeed to any pending objections to Claims filed by the Debtor prior to the Effective Date, and shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses the Debtor had immediately prior to the Effective Date with respect to any Disputed Claim, including the causes of action retained under the Plan.  The Reorganized Debtor shall provide commercially reasonable assistance and cooperation to the Distribution Trustee in connection with the Distribution Trustee’s prosecution of objections to Claims, including, without limitation, access to the books and records of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor (as the case may be) and other information reasonably requested by the Distribution Trustee to enable the Distribution Trustee to perform its obligations under the Distribution Trust Agreement.
 
7.2 Deadline for Objecting to Claims
 
Objections to Claims must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court, and a copy of the objection must be served on the subject Creditor before the expiration of the Claim Objection Deadline (unless such period is further extended by subsequent orders of the Bankruptcy Court); otherwise such Claims shall be deemed Allowed in accordance with section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The objection shall notify the Creditor of the deadline for responding to such objection.
 
7.3 Deadline for Responding to Claim Objections
 
Within 30 days after service of an objection, or such other date as is indicated on such objection or the accompanying notice thereof, the Creditor whose Claim was objected to must file a written response to the objection with the Bankruptcy Court and serve a copy on the Distribution Trustee.  Failure to file a written response within the 30-day time period shall constitute a waiver and release of that portion of the subject Claim that was subject to the objection, and shall cause the Bankruptcy Court to enter a default judgment against the non-responding Creditor or granting the relief requested in the claim objection.
 
7.4 Right to Request Estimation of Claims
 
Pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, and the Distribution Trustee may request estimation or liquidation of any Disputed Claim that is contingent or unliquidated or any Disputed Claim arising from a right to an equitable remedy or breach of performance.
 
7.5 Distribution Procedures Regarding Allowed Claims
 
(a) In General
 
The Distribution Trustee shall make all Distributions required to be made under the Plan, including Distributions from the Distribution Trust.
 
(b) Distributions on Allowed Claims Only
 
Distributions from Available Cash shall be made only to the holders of Allowed Claims.  Until a Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, the holder of that Disputed Claim shall not receive a Distribution from Available Cash.
 
(c) Place and Manner of Payments of Distributions
 
Except as otherwise specified in the Plan, Distributions from Available Cash shall be made by mailing such Distribution to the Creditor at the address listed in any proof of claim filed by the Creditor or at such other address as such Creditor shall have specified for payment purposes in a written notice received by the Distribution Trustee at least twenty (20) days before a Distribution Date.  If a Creditor has not filed a proof of claim or interest or sent the Distribution Trustee a written notice of payment address, then the Distribution(s) for such Creditor will be mailed to the address identified in the Schedules of Assets and Liabilities.  The Distribution Trustee shall distribute any Cash by wire, check, or such other method as it deems appropriate under the circumstances.  Before receiving any Distributions, all Creditors, at the request of the Distribution Trustee, must provide written notification of their respective Federal Tax Identification Numbers or Social Security Numbers to the Distribution Trustee; otherwise, the Distribution Trustee may suspend Distributions to any Creditors who have not provided their Federal Tax Identification Numbers or Social Security Numbers.
 
 
-6-

 
 
(d) Undeliverable Distributions
 
If a Distribution made from Available Cash to any Creditor is returned as undeliverable, the Distribution Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to determine such Creditor’s then current address.  If the Distribution Trustee cannot determine, or is not notified of, a Creditor’s then current address within six months after the Effective Date, the Distribution reserved for such Creditor shall be deemed an unclaimed Distribution, and Section 7.5(e) of the Plan shall be applicable thereto.
 
(e) Unclaimed Distributions
 
If the current address for a Creditor entitled to a Distribution from Available Cash under the Plan has not been determined within six months after the Effective Date or such Creditor has otherwise not been located or submitted a valid Federal Tax Identification Number or Social Security Number to the Distribution Trustee, then such Creditor (i) shall no longer be a Creditor and (ii) shall be deemed to have released such Claim.
 
(f) Withholding
 
The Distribution Trustee may at any time withhold from a Distribution from Available Cash to any Person (except the Internal Revenue Service) amounts sufficient to pay any tax or other charge that has been or may be imposed on such Person with respect to the amount distributable or to be distributed under the income tax laws of the United States or of any state or political subdivision or entity by reason of any Distribution provided for in the Plan, whenever such withholding is determined by the Distribution Trustee (in its sole discretion) to be required by any law, regulation, rule, ruling, directive, or other governmental requirement.  The Distribution Trustee, in the exercise of its sole discretion and judgment, may enter into agreements with taxing or other authorities for the payment of such amounts that may be withheld in accordance with the provisions of this section.
 
(g) Dissolution
 
(i) The Distribution Trustee and Distribution Trust shall be discharged or dissolved, as the case may be, at such time as all of the Distribution Trust Assets have been distributed pursuant to the Plan and the Distribution Trust Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Distribution Trust be dissolved later than three (3) years from the creation of the Distribution Trust unless the Bankruptcy Court, upon motion within the six-month period prior to the third (3rd) anniversary (or within the six-month period prior to the end of an extension period), determines that a fixed period extension (not to exceed three (3) years, together with any prior extensions, without a favorable private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Distribution Trustee that any further extension would not adversely affect the status of the trust as a liquidating trust for United States federal income tax purposes) is necessary to facilitate or complete the liquidation of the Distribution Trust Assets.
 
(ii) If at any time the Distribution Trustee determines, in reliance upon such professionals as a Distribution Trustee may retain, that the expense of administering the Distribution Trust so as to make a final distribution to Distribution Trust Beneficiaries is likely to exceed the value of the assets remaining in the Distribution Trust, the Distribution Trustee may (i) reserve any amount necessary to dissolve the Distribution Trust, (ii) donate any balance to a charitable organization (A) described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) exempt from United States federal income tax under section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, (C) not a “private foundation,” as defined in section 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, and (D) that is unrelated to the Debtor, the Distribution Trust, and any insider of the Distribution Trustee, and (iii) dissolve the Distribution Trust.
 
7.6 Procedures Regarding Distributions from the Distribution Trust
 
Procedures regarding Distributions from the Distribution Trust to holders of Class 3 Allowed General Unsecured Claims shall be governed by the Distribution Trust Agreement.

The Plan Sponsor may amend the Schedule of Assumed Contracts and Unexpired Leases through the deadline to file the Plan Supplement. Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute approval of the assumption of such Executory Contracts under sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
8.2 Rejection of Executory Contracts
 
All Executory Contracts not identified on the Schedule of Assumed Contracts and Unexpired Leases (or assumed by the Debtor previously) shall be deemed rejected on the Effective Date.

(b) Objection to Disputed Cure Amounts
 
The Plan Sponsor shall have the right to examine any Objection to Cure Amount filed by any party, and shall have the right to object to and contest the Disputed Cure Amount asserted therein.
 
If an objection to a Disputed Cure Amount has not been resolved by the Bankruptcy Court or agreement of the parties by the Effective Date, the Executory Contract related to such Disputed Cure Amount shall be deemed assumed by the Reorganized Debtor effective on the Effective Date; provided, however, the Reorganized Debtor may revoke an assumption of any such Executory Contract within ten (10) days after entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court adjudicating the objection to the Disputed Cure Amount related to the Executory Contract by filing a notice of such revocation with the Bankruptcy Court and serving a copy on the party(ies) whose Executory Contract is rejected.  Any Executory Contract identified in a revocation notice shall be deemed rejected retroactively to the Effective Date.
 
(c) Payment of Cure Amounts
 
Within ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall pay, in Cash, all Cure Amounts related to Executory Contracts listed on the Schedule of Assumed Contracts and Unexpired Leases, other than Disputed Cure Amounts.  Subject to the revocation rights described in Section 8.3(b) above, the Reorganized Debtor shall pay all Cure Amounts that are subject to an objection on the Effective Date within ten (10) days after entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court resolving the objection or approving an agreement between the parties concerning the Cure Amount.
 
(d) No Admission of Liability
 
Neither the inclusion nor exclusion of any Executory Contract by the Proponents on the Schedule of Assumed Contracts and Unexpired Leases, nor anything contained in the Plan, shall constitute an admission by the Proponents that any such contract or unexpired lease is in fact an Executory Contract or that the Debtor has any liability thereunder.
 
(e) Reservation of Rights
 
Nothing in the Plan shall waive, excuse, limit, diminish, or otherwise alter any of the defenses, claims, causes of action, or other rights of the Debtor under any executory or non-executory contract or any unexpired or expired lease, nor shall any provision of the Plan increase, augment, or add to any of the duties, obligations, responsibilities, or liabilities of the Debtor under any such contract or lease.
 
8.4 Rejection Claim Bar Date
 
Each Claim resulting from the rejection of an Executory Contract pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Plan shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court no later than the Rejection Claim Bar Date; provided, however, any party whose Executory Contract is rejected pursuant to a revocation notice pursuant to Section 8.3 above may file a rejection damage Claim arising out of such rejection within 30 days after the filing of the revocation notice with the Bankruptcy Court.  Any Claim resulting from the rejection of an Executory Contract not filed by the applicable deadline shall be discharged and forever barred, and shall not be entitled to any Distributions under the Plan.  The Distribution Trustee shall have the right to object to any rejection damage Claim.
 
8.5 Indemnification Obligations
 
Any obligation of the Debtor to indemnify, reimburse, or limit the liability of any Person, including any officer or director of the Debtor, or any agent, professional, financial advisor, or underwriter of any securities issued by the Debtor, relating to any acts or omissions occurring before the Petition Date, whether arising pursuant to charter, bylaws, contract or applicable state law, shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as, an Executory Contract and (a) shall be deemed to be rejected, canceled, and discharged pursuant to the Plan as of the Effective Date and (b) any and all Claims resulting from such obligations are disallowed under section 502(e) of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable grounds, including section 502(d) or violations of sections 327, 362, 363 or other requirements of the Bankruptcy Code, or, if any court of applicable jurisdiction rules to the contrary, such Claim shall  be estimated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code in the amount of $0 or such other amount as the Bankruptcy Court shall determine.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing contained in the Plan impacts, impairs, or prejudices the rights of the Distribution Trustee to pursue the Distribution Trust Avoidance Actions.
 
ARTICLE IX
EFFECT OF REJECTION BY ONE OR MORE CLASSES
 
9.1 Impaired Classes Entitled to Vote
 
Each impaired Class shall be entitled to vote separately to accept or reject the Plan.  A holder of a Disputed Claim which has not been temporarily allowed for purposes of voting on the Plan may vote only such Disputed Claim in an amount equal to the portion, if any, of such Claim or Equity Interest shown as fixed, liquidated, and undisputed in the Debtor’s Schedules of Assets and Liabilities.

IP, and Yahoo! may enforce the consequences of any infringement or any wrongs involving Yahoo! IP by the Debtor or any third party; provided, however, that Yahoo! shall not assert against or pursue the Sponsor or the Reorganized Debtor for any infringement or any other wrongs involving the Yahoo!

11.3 Exoneration and Reliance
 
To the extent allowed by law, the Protected Parties shall not be liable, other than with respect to criminal liability under applicable law, willful misconduct, or bad faith under applicable law, to any holder of a Claim or Equity Interest or any other Person with respect to any action, omission, forbearance from action, decision, or exercise of discretion taken at any time after the Petition Date in connection with or related to the Chapter 11 Case, including without limitation, the negotiation, formulation, development, proposal, disclosure, solicitation, confirmation or implementation of the sales process and the Plan, and except with respect to criminal liability under applicable law, willful misconduct or bad faith under applicable law, all such Persons are permanently enjoined from initiating a suit against any Protected Party.  For purposes of this paragraph, Protected Parties excludes the Distribution Trustee, Distribution Trust, the Plan Sponsor and DIP Lender.  Nothing in this section 11.3 shall prevent the enforcement of the terms of the Plan.
 
11.4 Additional Releases
 
To the extent allowed by applicable law, on, and as of, the Effective Date and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Protected Parties (acting in any capacity whatsoever) shall be forever released and discharged from any and all Claims, obligations, actions, suits, rights, debts, accounts, causes of action, remedies, avoidance actions, agreements, promises, damages, judgments, demands, defenses, or claims in respect of equitable subordination, and liabilities throughout the world under any law or court ruling through the Effective Date (including all Claims based on or arising out of facts or circumstances that existed as of or prior to the Plan in the Bankruptcy Case, including Claims based on negligence or strict liability, and further including any derivative claims asserted on behalf of the Debtor, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereinafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise, that the Debtor, its Estate, or the Reorganized Debtor would have been legally entitled by applicable law to assert in its own right, whether individually or collectively) which the Debtor, its Estate, the Reorganized Debtor, Creditors or other Persons receiving or who are entitled to receive Distributions under the Plan may have against any of them in any way related to the Bankruptcy Case or the Debtor (or its predecessors); provided, however, the releases provided for in this paragraph shall not extend to any claims by any Governmental Unit with respect to criminal liability under applicable law, willful misconduct or bad faith under applicable law, or ultra vires acts under applicable law.  No compliance with or reliance on the applicable law or the orders of the Bankruptcy Court shall be deemed or permitted to be judged, declared, or ruled to be in any way wrongful, in bad faith, ultra vires, inequitable or otherwise subject to any sanction or punishment, all of which are preempted, superseded and negated by the Plan to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
 
A vote to accept the Plan, or failure to vote by a creditor entitled to vote, constitutes an acceptance of all of the terms and provisions contained in the Plan, including, but not limited to, the grant of releases, injunctions, exculpation, exoneration and other limitations of liability in the Plan. If a creditor votes to reject the Plan, the creditor may nevertheless be deemed to be bound to the releases and be bound by the injunctions, exculpations, and other limitations of liability in the Plan to the maximum extent permitted by law, as later determined by the Court. If a creditor elects NOT to grant the releases contained in this Article 11.4 of the Plan, to (1) the Plan Sponsor and its affiliates, (2) the DIP Lender, and (3) directors, officers, agents, attorneys, accountants, consultants, equity holders, financial advisors, investment bankers, professionals, experts, and employees of any of the foregoing, in their respective capacities as such, then the creditor must opt-out in the Ballot. Election to withhold consent is at the creditor’s option.
