________________________

The findings of the Court as set forth herein shall constitute findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to



2






A.

Jurisdiction.  The Court has jurisdiction over the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1334(a) and 157(1) and the Amended Standing Order of Reference from the United States District Court for the District of Delaware dated as of February 29, 2012.  Venue of these proceedings and the Chapter 11 Cases in this District is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.  Confirmation of the Plan is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2) and the Court has exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether the Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and should be confirmed.

B.

Judicial Notice.  The Court takes judicial notice of the docket in these Chapter 11 Cases maintained by the clerk of the Court and/or its duly appointed agent, including, without limitation, all pleadings, notices, and other documents filed, all orders entered, and all evidence and arguments made, proffered, or adduced at the hearings held before the Court during the Chapter 11 Cases, including, without limitation, the hearing to consider the Taylor Sale and the hearing to consider confirmation of the Plan (the “Confirmation Hearing”).

C.

Solicitation.  The Solicitation Packages and the Confirmation Hearing Notice were transmitted and served in compliance with the Solicitation Order and the Bankruptcy Rules, and such transmittal and service was adequate and sufficient.  Adequate and sufficient notice of the Confirmation Hearing and the other dates described in the Solicitation Order was given in compliance with the Bankruptcy Rules and the Solicitation Order, and no other or further notice is or shall be required.  All parties in interest had a full and fair opportunity to appear and be heard at the Confirmation Hearing and no other or further notice is or shall be required.


______________________________________________________________________________

Bankruptcy Rule 7052, which is applicable to this matter by virtue of Bankruptcy Rule 9014.  To the extent any findings of fact constitute conclusions of law, they are adopted as such.  To the extent any conclusions of law constitute findings of fact, they are adopted as such.



3






D.

Disclosure Statement.  The Disclosure Statement contains adequate information within the meaning of section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Disclosure Statement was included in the Solicitation Packages and properly distributed to Holders in connection with solicitation of their acceptance or rejection of the Plan, in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

E.

Voting.  The procedures by which the ballots for acceptance or rejection of the Plan were distributed and tabulated were fair, properly conducted, and complied with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, applicable non-bankruptcy law, and the Solicitation Order.

F.

Plan Supplement.  Prior to the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors filed the Plan Supplement [Docket No. 1304] (the “Plan Supplement”).  The Plan Supplement complies with the terms of the Plan, and the Filing and notice of the Plan Supplement were appropriate and complied with the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules, and no other or further notice is or shall be required.  The Debtors are authorized to modify the Plan Supplement documents following entry of this Confirmation Order.  

G.

Plan Confirmation Burden of Proof.  The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have met their burden of proving the elements of sections 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

H.

Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a).  In accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a), the Plan is dated and identifies the Debtors as the proponents of the Plan.

I.

Plan Compliance with Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(1)).  The Plan complies with all of the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

(a)

Proper Classification (11 U.S.C. §§ 1122, 1123(a)(1)).  Classification of Claims and Equity Interests under the Plan is proper under section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code.


4






(b)

Specify Unimpaired Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(2)).  Article 1 of the Plan specifies that Class I (Other Secured Claims) and Class II (Priority Claims) are Unimpaired under the Plan.  Thus, the requirements of section 1123(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code are satisfied.

(c)

Specify Treatment of Impaired Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(3)).  Article 1 of the Plan designates Class III (Second Lien Secured Claims), Class IV (General Unsecured Claims), Class V (Subordinated Claims), and Class VI (Equity Interests) as Impaired and specifies the treatment of Claims and Equity Interests in such Classes.  Thus, the requirements of section 1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code are satisfied.

(d)

No Discrimination (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(4)).  The Plan provides for the same treatment by the Debtors for each Claim or Equity Interest in each respective Class unless the Holder of a particular Claim or Equity Interest has agreed to a less favorable treatment of such Claim or Equity Interest.  Thus, the requirements of section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code are satisfied.

(e)

Implementation of the Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(5)).  The Plan provides for adequate means for its implementation including, among other things, the Taylor Receivable, which will used to satisfy certain Claims, and the ratification of the GUC Trust and the creation of the Secured Creditor Trust, which have been or which will be funded.  

(f)

Non-Voting Equity Securities (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(6)).  Section 2.3.4 of the Plan provides that to the extent the Liquidating Debtors are not dissolved on the Effective Date, the applicable governing documents of the Liquidating Debtors shall be amended, if necessary, to prohibit the issuance of non-voting equity securities to the extent required by


5






section 1123(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.  As such, the Plan does not provide for the issuance of non-voting securities, thereby satisfying section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.  

(g)

Selection of Officers and Directors (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(7)).  The Plan provides that from and after the Effective Date, the GUC Trust Oversight Committee shall have the authority to select, appoint, remove, replace, and establish the compensation (if any) of the member(s), manager(s), officer(s) and director(s) of the Liquidating Debtors, other than the Mexico Debtors.  The GUC Trust Oversight Committee will be initially comprised of all members of the Committee, and it has selected the GUC Trust as the post-Effective Date member and/or authorized representative of the Liquidating Debtors, other than the Mexico Debtors.  See Docket Nos. 888 & 1315.  EisnerAmper LLP has been appointed as the GUC Trustee.  See Docket No. 888.  Wilmington Trust Company has been appointed as the Secured Creditor Trustee.  The members, managers, officers, directors, and other similar agents of the Mexico Debtors shall retain their positions on and after the Effective Date, unless removed and/or replaced in accordance with the constituent documents and law applicable to such Mexico Debtors.  The initial officers of the Mexico Debtors shall be Gerard D. Sowar as sole administrator and Javier Lizardi as secretary.  Thus, the requirements of section 1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code are satisfied.  

J.

Impairment/Unimpairment of Class of Claims and Equity Interests (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(1)).  As contemplated by section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Class I (Other Secured Claims) and Class II (Priority Claims) are Unimpaired under the Plan.  Class III (Second Lien Secured Claim), Class IV (General Unsecured Claims), Class V (Subordinated Claims), and Class VI (Equity Interests) are Impaired under the Plan.


6






K.

Additional Plan Provisions (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)).  The Plan’s provisions are appropriate, in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates, and consistent with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, provisions for (i) substantive consolidation of the Debtors, (ii) assumption and rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, (iii) establishment of the Trusts, (iv) the disgorgement provision, and (v) the vesting of Assets in Liquidating SRC and the Trusts, as applicable (including any and all Causes of Action, other than Causes of Action transferred to Taylor pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement or expressly released or waived pursuant to the Plan, whether arising before or after the Petition Date).  

L.

Releases, Exculpations, and Injunctions.  The Court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1334(a) and (b) to approve the releases, injunction, and exculpation provisions set forth in Article 7 of the Plan.  In addition, section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code permits approval of the releases and the exculpation and issuance of the injunctions set forth in Article 7 of the Plan, when such provisions are essential to the formulation and implementation of the Plan as provided in section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, are not contrary to any provision of the Bankruptcy Code, confer material benefits on the Debtors’ Estates, and are in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, their Creditors, and Holders of Equity Interests.  The Released Parties provided a substantial contribution to the Chapter 11 Cases and the formulation and implementation of the Plan through, inter alia, the compromises made in the Committee Settlement.  Further, the third party releases provided for in Section 7.4 of the Plan are consensual insofar as they apply only to (i) Holders of Claims who are presumed to accept the Plan under section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) Holders of Claims who are entitled to vote on the Plan and either (x) voted in accept the Plan or (y) voted to reject the Plan, or


7






abstained from voting on the Plan, and did not make a proper and timely Third Party Opt-Out Election.  Based upon the record of the Chapter 11 Cases and the evidence submitted, adduced or presented at or prior to, or in declarations filed in connection with, the Confirmation Hearing, the releases, injunctions, and exculpation set forth in Article 7 of the Plan are consistent with sections 105, 1123, and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.  All releases, exculpations, and injunctions embodied in the Plan are an integral part of the Plan.  The releases, exculpations, and injunctions set forth in the Plan are fair, equitable, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates, Creditors, and Holders of Equity Interests.  

M.

Debtors’ Compliance with Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(2)).  The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 1122, 1123, 1124, 1125, 1126, and 1128 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules 3017, 3018, and 3019.

N.

Plan Proposed in Good Faith (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(3)).  The Debtors have proposed the Plan in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.  In determining that the Plan has been proposed in good faith, the Court has examined the totality of the circumstances surrounding the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan itself, and the process leading to its formulation.  

O.

Payments for Services or Costs and Expenses (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(4)).  Any payments made or promised by the Debtors for services or for costs and expenses in, or in connection with, the Chapter 11 Cases, or in connection with the Plan and incident to the Chapter 11 Cases, have been approved by, or are subject to approval of this Court as reasonable, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.


8







P.

Disclosure of Identity of Proposed Directors and Officers, Compensation of Insiders, and Consistency with the Interests of Creditors and Public Policy (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(5)).  The Debtors have complied with section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The identity of (a) the members of the GUC Trust Oversight Committee; (b) the GUC Trustee; (c) the Secured Creditor Trustee; and (d) the member and/or authorized representative of the Liquidating Debtors has been disclosed, and, other than with respect to the Mexico Debtors, none of these parties is an insider as that term is defined in section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The members, managers, officers, directors, and other similar agents of the Mexico Debtors shall retain their positions on and after the Effective Date, unless removed and/or replaced in accordance with the constituent documents and law applicable to such Mexico Debtors.  The initial officers of the Mexico Debtors shall be Gerard D. Sowar as sole administrator and Javier Lizardi as secretary, and the compensation arrangement is set forth in the Williams Declaration.  The proposed Trustees and the management of the Mexico Debtors and the other Liquidating Debtors is consistent with the interests of Holders of Claims and Equity Interests and with public policy.

Q.

No Rate Changes (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(6)).  The Debtors’ Plan does not provide for any rate change that requires regulatory approval.  Section 1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code is thus not applicable.

R.

Best Interests of Creditors (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(7)).  The Plan satisfies section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Supplemental Voting Declaration, the Williams Declaration, the Liquidation Analysis attached as Exhibit 2 to the Disclosure Statement, and other evidence submitted, adduced or presented at or prior to, or in declarations and other pleadings submitted in connection with the Confirmation Hearing (i) are reasonable, persuasive,


9






credible, and accurate as of the dates such analysis or evidence was presented, prepared, or submitted; (ii) have not been controverted by any other evidence; (iii) utilize reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions; and (iv) establish that Holders of Claims in Impaired Classes have either accepted the Plan or will receive or retain under the Plan, on account of such Claims, property of a value, as of the Effective Date, that is not less than the amount that such Holders would receive or retain if the Debtors were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on such date.

S.

Acceptance or Rejection by Certain Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(8)).  Classes I and II are Unimpaired under the Plan, and pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan.  Class III is Impaired and voted to accept the Plan.  Class IV is Impaired and voted to reject the Plan.  Classes V and VI are Impaired by the Plan and are presumed to have rejected the Plan.

T.

Treatment of Administrative, Priority and Tax Claims (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(9)).  The treatment of Administrative Expense Claims, Priority Claims, and Professional Fee Claims pursuant to Article 3 of the Plan satisfies the requirements of sections 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code.

U.

Acceptance by Impaired Class (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(10)).  Class III is an Impaired Class of Claims that voted to accept the Plan, not including the votes of any insiders.  Therefore, the requirement of section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code that at least one Class of Claims against the Debtors that is Impaired under the Plan has accepted the Plan, determined without including any acceptance of the Plan by any insider, has been satisfied.

V.

Feasibility (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(11)).  The Williams Declaration, in addition to the Liquidation Analysis attached as Exhibit 2 to the Disclosure Statement, and other evidence


10






submitted, adduced, or presented by the Debtors at the Confirmation Hearing or in support of confirmation of the Plan with respect to feasibility are persuasive and credible, and the Debtors have established by a preponderance of the evidence that Confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the need for further financial reorganization of the Debtors (other than the liquidation contemplated by the Plan), thus satisfying the requirements of section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code.

W.

Payment of Fees (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(12)).  All fees payable under 28 U.S.C. § 1930, as determined by the Court, have been paid or will be paid on or before the Effective Date pursuant to Article 8 of the Plan, thus satisfying the requirements of section 1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code.

X.

Continuation of Retiree Benefits (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(13)).  The Debtors did not provide “retiree benefits,” as defined in section 1114(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, prior to the Petition Date.  Accordingly, section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code does not apply.

Y.

Domestic Support Obligations (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(14)).  The Debtors are not required to pay any domestic support obligations.  Accordingly, section 1129(a)(14) of the Bankruptcy Code is not applicable to the Plan.

Z.

Individual Cases Subject to Objection by Unsecured Creditor (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(15)).  The Debtors are not individuals.  Accordingly, section 1129(a)(15) of the Bankruptcy Code is not applicable to the Plan.

AA.

Transfers of Property Pursuant to Non-Bankruptcy Law (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(16)).  Each Debtor is a moneyed, business or commercial corporation and accordingly, section 1129(a)(16) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable to the Plan.


11






BB.

No Unfair Discrimination; Fair and Equitable Treatment (11 U.S.C. § 1129(b)).  The classification and treatment of Claims and Equity Interests in Classes IV, V, and VI, which have either rejected or are deemed to have rejected the Plan, is proper pursuant to section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code, and does not discriminate unfairly pursuant to section 1129(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Pursuant to section 1129(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan may be confirmed notwithstanding the fact that not all Impaired Classes have voted to accept the Plan, if all of the requirements of section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, other than section 1129(a)(8) have been met.  Class III is an Impaired Class of Claims that voted to accept the Plan. With respect to Classes IV, V, and VI, which have not accepted the Plan, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code because the Plan does not discriminate unfairly and is fair and equitable with respect to such Classes, including because Holders of Allowed Claims in Class IV will receive their Pro Rata Share of the total beneficial interests in the GUC Trust, and Holders of Claims or Equity Interests in each of the two Classes junior to Class IV, Class V (Subordinated Claims) and Class VI (Equity Interests), will not receive any Distribution on account such Claims or Equity Interests.

CC.

Only One Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1129(c)).  The Plan is the only chapter 11 plan currently proposed in the Chapter 11 Cases, and the requirements of section 1129(c) of the Bankruptcy Code are therefore satisfied.

DD.

Principal Purpose (11 U.S.C. § 1129(d)).  The principal purpose of the Plan is neither the avoidance of taxes nor the avoidance of section 5 of the Securities Act, and no governmental unit has objected to the Confirmation of the Plan on any such grounds.  The Plan therefore satisfies the requirements of section 1129(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.


12






EE.

Good Faith Solicitation (11 U.S.C. § 1125(e)).  Based on the record before the Court in the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors and their officers, directors, employees, advisors, Professionals, and agents, and the other Exculpated Parties have acted in good faith within the meaning of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules in connection with all of their respective activities relating to the solicitation of acceptances of the Plan and their participation in the activities described in section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code, and they are entitled to the protections afforded by section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and the injunction and exculpation provisions set forth in Article 7 of the Plan.

FF.

Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(2)).  Article 5 of the Plan governing the assumption and rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases meets the requirements of section 365(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.  There have been no unresolved objections to the Debtors’ assumption of certain Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to the Plan.  The assumption of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to the Plan is in the Debtors’ valid business judgment, and the Debtors have provided adequate assurance of future performance (as that term is used in section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases to be assumed.  No further adequate assurance of future performance is required.

GG.

Satisfaction of Confirmation Requirements and Conditions to Confirmation.  The Plan satisfies the requirements for confirmation set forth in section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.

HH.

Retention of Jurisdiction.  The Court may properly retain jurisdiction over the matters set forth in Article 8 of the Plan and/or section 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code.


13






II.

Substantive Consolidation.  Based on the information contained in the Disclosure Statement and all evidence and arguments made, proffered, or adduced at the Confirmation Hearing, and in the absence of any objections to the request for substantive consolidation of the Debtors for all purposes, the substantive consolidation of the Debtors as provided in Section 2.2 of the Plan is justified and appropriate in these Chapter 11 Cases.

JJ.

Plan Modifications.  Modifications made to the Plan since the solicitation comply in all respects with Section 8.12 of the Plan and sections 1122 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, as required under section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019.  The filing of the modified Plan with this Court and the disclosure of the modifications to the Plan on the record at the Confirmation Hearing constitutes due and sufficient notice of such modifications, and the Court hereby finds that such modifications are non-material, not adverse to any party-in-interest under the Plan and do not require the re-solicitation of any Class.

KK.

PBGC Opt-Out Election.  The PBGC made a proper and timely Third Party Opt-Out Election and shall not be subject to the Third Party Release in Section 7.4 of the Plan.

LL.

PBGC Withdrawal of Vote.  There is good cause for the PBGC to withdraw its vote rejecting the Plan and to abstain from voting.

Based upon the foregoing findings, and upon the record made before this Court at the Confirmation Hearing, and good and sufficient cause appearing therefor, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED THAT:

DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

1.

The Disclosure Statement is approved on a final basis as containing adequate information within the meaning of section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code, and any objections to the Disclosure Statement not otherwise consensually resolved are overruled.


14






CHAPTER 11 PLAN

2.

Confirmation.  The Plan, as and to the extent modified by this Confirmation Order, is approved and confirmed under section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.   The Debtors are authorized to take or cause to be taken all corporate actions necessary or appropriate to implement all provisions of, and to consummate, the Plan and any documents contemplated to be executed therewith, prior to, on and after the Effective Date, including the Trust Agreements (along with any amendments, modifications, and supplements thereto and documents referred to in such papers consistent with the Plan), and all such actions taken or caused to be taken shall be deemed to have been authorized and approved by the Court without the need for any further approval, act or action under any applicable law, order, rule, or regulation.  The terms of the Plan are incorporated by reference into, and are an integral part of, this Confirmation Order.  The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules relating to and regarding confirmation.

3.

General Settlement of Claims.  Pursuant to section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the classification, Distribution, releases, and other benefits provided under the Plan, upon the Effective Date, the provisions of the Plan shall constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all Claims and Equity Interests and controversies resolved pursuant to the Plan.  Subject to Article 4 of the Plan, all Distributions made to Holders of Allowed Claims in any Class shall be final.

4.

Automatic Stay.  The automatic stay under section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code is hereby modified to the extent necessary to implement the Plan.

5.

Implementation Steps.  All implementation steps set forth in the Plan are hereby approved, including, without limitation, the formation and/or ratification of the Trusts.  All other transactions contemplated by the Plan, including, without limitation, the dissolution of the


15






Liquidating Debtors, conversion of SRC Liquidation Company from a corporation into a limited liability company and merger of the three (3) Mexico Debtors into one (1) Entity, may be effected prior to, on, or subsequent to the Effective Date without any further action by Holders of Equity Interests or the directors, managers, or other responsible persons of the Debtors.

6.

Vesting of Assets.  Except as expressly provided in the Plan, in this Confirmation Order, or in the respective Trust Agreements, on the Effective Date (a)(i) all Secured Creditor Trust Assets and (ii) the Wind-Down Settlement Payment (unless it has previously been paid by the Debtors to the Secured Creditor Trust or to the Second Lien Agent) shall be transferred to and vested in the Secured Creditor Trust free and clear of all Claims and Equity Interests; provided, however, neither the Chubb Settlement Agreement (or proceeds thereof) nor any employment practices liability insurance policies (or proceeds thereof) shall vest in the Secured Creditor Trust; provided further, however, that the Secured Creditor Trust shall receive a distribution with respect to the proceeds related to the real property located in Terre Haute, Indiana (the “Terre Haute Property”) to the extent that the expenses under Section 2(a)(ii) of the Wind-Down Settlement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all remediation expenses and/or settlement costs, whether pre- or post-closing of any sale of the Terre Haute Property) are less than the combined total of (x) sale proceeds from the sale of the Terre Haute Property and (y) any Chubb Settlement Agreement proceeds, which distribution shall equal the amount of proceeds from (x) and (y) in excess of the expenses; and (b) to the extent not previously transferred and vested in the GUC Trust, the GUC Trust Assets shall be transferred to and vested in the GUC Trust free and clear of all Claims and Equity Interests; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the Terre Haute Property be transferred to or vest in the GUC Trust absent prior express consent by the GUC Trustee.  All Assets of the Debtors not otherwise


16






transferred either to the GUC Trust or the Secured Creditor Trust shall vest in Liquidating SRC free and clear of all Claims, Equity Interests, liens, charges or other encumbrances.  The Court shall retain jurisdiction to determine disputes as to property interests created or vested by the Plan.  

7.

Substantive Consolidation.  Pursuant to sections 105(a), 541, 1123 and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, the substantive consolidation of the Debtors is hereby approved, effective as of the Effective Date.  As a result of such substantive consolidation, on and after the Effective Date (i) all Assets and liabilities of the Debtors shall be deemed to be the Assets and liabilities of a single, consolidated Entity; (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, provided, however, that the Claims set forth in the Mexico Consideration Tax Treatment Agreement shall be preserved solely for the purposes of implementing that Agreement; (iv) no Distributions shall be made under the Plan on account of any Claim held by a Debtor against any other Debtor; (v) the existing Equity Interests in SRC Liquidation Company shall be cancelled; (vi) no Distributions shall be made under the Plan on account of any existing Equity Interest held by a Debtor in any other Debtor, except as and to the extent required in the Mexico Consideration Tax Treatment Agreement; (vii) all guarantees of any Debtor 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.  The substantive consolidation of the Debtors under the Plan shall not (other than for purposes related to funding Distributions under the Plan) affect (i) the legal and organizational


17






structure of the Debtors, (ii) Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that were entered into during the Chapter 11 Cases or that have been or will be assumed or rejected, (iii) any agreements entered into by the Trusts on or after the Effective Date (including any agreements entered into by the GUC Trust or the Secured Creditor Trust prior to the Effective Date, all of which are deemed to be ratified as of the Effective Date), (iv) the Debtors’ or the GUC Trust’s ability to subordinate or otherwise challenge Claims on an Entity-by-Entity basis, and (v) distributions to the Debtors or the Trusts from any insurance policies or the proceeds thereof.  In particular, the substantive consolidation of the Debtors under the Plan shall not result in any Debtor that is not a named insured or additional insured under a general commercial liability insurance policy issued to one or more of the Debtors becoming an insured under such a policy, and the substantive consolidation of the Debtors under the Plan shall not render an insurance company that issued such a general commercial liability insurance policy liable on account of any Debtor that is not a named insured or additional insured under such a policy. Notwithstanding the substantive consolidation called for herein, each and every Debtor shall remain responsible for the payment of U.S. Trustee fees pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930 until its particular case is closed, dismissed or converted.

8.

Post-Effective Date Corporate Existence.  

(a)

Without any requirement to obtain approval of Holders of existing Equity Interests of SRC Liquidation Company, SRC Liquidation Company shall be converted from an Ohio corporation into an Ohio limited liability company.  Liquidating SRC shall be prohibited from issuing any non-voting equity securities, and such prohibition shall be included in Liquidating SRC’s organizational documents.


18






(b)

All of the existing Equity Interests in the Debtors (including all instruments evidencing such Equity Interests) shall be automatically deemed cancelled and extinguished without the requirement of any further action under any applicable agreement, law, regulation, or rule, provided, that Equity Interests in any subsidiary of SRC Liquidation Company which is wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by SRC Liquidation Company shall be preserved solely for the benefit of the Holders of Allowed Claims as provided in the Plan.

(c)

Liquidating SRC shall issue all of the Liquidating SRC Membership Interests to the GUC Trust.  The GUC Trust shall hold Liquidating SRC’s Membership Interests for the benefit of the GUC Trust Beneficiaries, and such Liquidating SRC Membership Interests shall remain outstanding until Liquidating SRC is dissolved in accordance with the Plan.

(d)

On the Effective Date, without the need for any further order of the Court, action, or formality which might otherwise be required under applicable non-bankruptcy laws (a) the Debtors other than Liquidating SRC, the Mexico Holding Debtors, and the Mexico Debtors shall be dissolved without the need for any filings with the Secretary of State or other requisite governmental official in each Debtor’s respective jurisdiction of formation and (b) the Mexico Holding Debtors and the Mexico Debtors may, in the sole discretion of Liquidating SRC, be (i) dissolved without the need for any filings with the Secretary of State or other requisite governmental official in each Debtor’s respective jurisdiction of formation; (ii) merged into or with the GUC Trust, Liquidating SRC, or any other Debtor, or, with respect to the Mexico Debtors, into each other; or (iii) sold; provided, however, that no such dissolution, merger or sale shall occur with respect to the Mexico Debtors except in accordance with and pursuant to Mexico law (and after all obligations of such Mexico Debtors to be satisfied by Taylor have been determined and satisfied) or shall have the effect of altering implementation of


19






the Mexico Consideration Tax Treatment Agreement; provided further, however, that the proceeds of any sale of the Equity Interests of any Liquidating Debtor other than Liquidating SRC shall be remitted to the Secured Creditor Trust.   

(e)

After all Disputed Claims have been resolved in accordance with Section 4.2 of the Plan, all payments required to be made by Liquidating SRC or Taylor under this Plan, including without limitation Section 3.2.1 of the Plan, have been made, and all obligations of the Debtors under the Asset Purchase Agreement have been satisfied, and without the need for any further order of the Court, action, or formality which might otherwise be required under applicable non-bankruptcy laws, Liquidating SRC shall be dissolved without the need for any filings with the Secretary of State or other requisite governmental official in Liquidating SRC’s jurisdiction of formation.

9.

Directors and Officers.  As of the Effective Date, the GUC Trust shall be the sole member and/or authorized representative of each of the Liquidating Debtors, other than the Mexico Debtors, and each individual who has previously served as a director shall be deemed to have resigned and shall have no further duties or responsibilities to any of the Debtors from and after the Effective Date.  As of the Effective Date, the GUC Trustee individually, or through its authorized representatives or designees, shall have all requisite power and authority that may be or could have been exercised with respect to each Liquidating Debtor (whether or not dissolved as of the Effective Date) by any officer, director, shareholder, member, manager or other party acting in the name of such Liquidating Debtor or its respective estate with like effect as if duly authorized, exercised and taken by action of such officers, directors, members, managers, shareholders or other party.  The GUC Trustee may also and shall be authorized, without further notice or other of the Court, select directors and officers of the Mexico Holding Debtors post-


20






Effective Date, and such directors and officers shall have the requisite authority to act on the behalf of the Mexico Holding Debtors.  Notwithstanding any limitation in the GUC Trust Agreement to the contrary, the GUC Trustee shall be and hereby is authorized to take any and all action consistent with the Plan and this Confirmation Order.  The members, managers, officers, directors, and other similar agents of the Mexico Debtors shall retain their positions on and after the Effective Date, unless removed and/or replaced in accordance with the constituent documents and law applicable to such Mexico Debtors.  The initial officers of the Mexico Debtors shall be Gerard D. Sowar as sole administrator and Javier Lizardi as secretary.  The parties with requisite authority to select, appoint, remove, replace, and establish the compensation (if any) of the member(s) manager(s), officer(s) and director(s) of the Mexico Debtors under the Mexico Debtors’ constituent documents shall continue to have such authority.

10.

Entity Action.  For purposes of clarity, any officer, director, manager or member of the Liquidating Debtors and/or the GUC Trustee or its representative or designee, as applicable, shall be authorized to take any action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan, whether or not specifically referred to in the Plan or any exhibit thereto, without further order of the Court or further action by the Liquidating Debtors or the GUC Trust (as applicable) or any other person.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors, the Liquidating Debtors and their respective officers, directors, mangers and members and the GUC Trust and GUC Trustee are authorized and empowered pursuant to section 1701.75 of Ohio Rev. Code, section 303 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and other applicable law governing the Liquidating Debtors (the “Applicable Law”) to take any and all actions necessary or desirable to implement the transactions contemplated by the Plan and this Confirmation Order, including executing, delivering and performing under all Plan-related


21






documents, in each case without any requirement of further vote, consent, approval, authorization or other action by the stockholders, officers or directors, or notice to, order of, or hearing before the Court.  Any or all such documents shall be accepted upon presentment by each of the respective state filing offices and recorded in accordance with applicable state law and shall become effective in accordance with their terms and the provisions of state law.  Furthermore, any member, manager, officer or director of the Liquidating Debtors is authorized, pursuant to Applicable Law, to dissolve the corporation under Delaware, Ohio and other applicable state law without any further vote, consent, approval, authorization or other action by the stockholders, members, officers or directors, or notice to, order of, or hearing before this Court.

11.

Distributions.  Liquidating SRC and the Trusts shall make, cause to be made, or facilitate, the Distributions required under the Plan to the applicable Holders of Allowed Claims.   

12.

Cash Payments.  The sources of all Distributions and payments under the Plan are and will be Cash and Secured Creditors’ collateral, to the extent applicable.  Cash Distributions made pursuant to the Plan shall be in United States funds, by check drawn on a domestic bank, or by wire transfer from a domestic bank.  Cash payments made pursuant to the Plan in the form of a check shall be null and void if not cashed within 180 days of the date of issuance thereof.  

13.

Delivery of Distributions.  Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreements, Distributions shall be made to Record Holders of Allowed Claims: (a) first, at the address set forth on the Record Holder’s last Filed proof of Claim or the address set forth in any later written notice of address change Filed by such Holder; (b) second, at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if neither a proof of Claim nor a written notice of address change has been


22






Filed; and (c) third, if the Record Holder’s address is not listed in the Schedules, and such Record Holder has not Filed a proof of Claim or written notice of address change, at the last known address of such Record Holder according to the Debtors’ books and records.  Except for the preceding sentences, none of the Debtors, the GUC Trustee, or the Secured Creditor Trustee, as applicable, is required to make any additional inquiry into the address to which it must deliver a Distribution under the Plan.  If, after complying with the foregoing procedures, a Distribution to any Holder of an Allowed Claim is returned as undeliverable or otherwise not accepted by the Holder, such Distribution shall be deemed forfeited and distributed to other Holders of Claims in the same Class pursuant to Section 3.7 of the Plan.

14.

Required Reporting Documents.  Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Trust Agreement, prior to making any Distribution to the Holder of an Allowed Claim, Liquidating SRC (in connection with all Unclassified Claims (other than Professional Fee Claims) and Priority Claims, and Other Secured Claims), the GUC Trust (in connection with Class IV Claims), and the Secured Creditor Trust (in connection with Class III Claims) shall require that the Holder of such Claim furnish all Required Reporting Documents as a condition to the making of a Distribution.  Failure to provide Required Reporting Documents shall result in a forfeiture of Distribution pursuant to Section 3.7 of the Plan.

15.

Disputed Claims.  Pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Plan, Disputed Claims may be settled or compromised without any further notice to or action, Order, or approval by the Court, as the case may be, under applicable law.  Any Disputed Claim that is not resolved pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Plan shall be adjudicated by the Court (or, to the extent that the Court does not have jurisdiction, by any other court having jurisdiction over such dispute).


23






16.

Objections to Claims.  All objections to Claims shall be Filed within 180 days after the Effective Date (the “Claim Objection Deadline”).  The Claim Objection Deadline may be extended upon a motion Filed with the Bankruptcy Court by Liquidating SRC or the GUC Trustee (or, in the case of Class I Claims (other than the Other Secured Claim of Bank of America, N.A.) and Class III Claims (other than the Second Lien Secured Claim filed by the Second Lien Agent), by the Secured Creditor Trust) prior to the expiration of the Claim Objection Deadline.  The Claim Objection Deadline shall be automatically extended upon the Filing of a motion requesting an extension of the Claim Objection Deadline until such time as the Bankruptcy Court acts on such motion, without the necessity for the entry of a bridge order. From and after the Effective Date, the Liquidating Debtors shall take no action that would cancel, modify, or otherwise impair the “Extended Reporting Period Elected (Pre-Paid)” or other similar endorsements or provisions of the D&O Policies, all of which shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.  

17.

Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.  Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases of the Debtors that have not been assumed and assigned, or rejected, prior to the Confirmation Date, shall be deemed rejected as of the Confirmation Date, provided that to the extent the D&O Policies, the Chubb Settlement Agreement, the Asset Purchase Agreement, the MTSA, the Side Letter, and any other related agreements with Taylor are executory, the D&O Policies, the Chubb Settlement Agreement, all insurance agreements providing employment practices liability coverage, the Asset Purchase Agreement, the MTSA, the Side Letter, and any other related agreements with Taylor shall not be deemed rejected but shall be deemed assumed by the Liquidating Debtors, pursuant to section


24






365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the Effective Date and shall remain in full force and effect following the occurrence of the Effective Date.     

18.

Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases and Abandoned Assets.  Any Creditor asserting a Claim for monetary damages as a result of the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and/or the abandonment of Assets pursuant to the Plan shall file a proof of such Claim within thirty (30) days of the Confirmation Date.  The timeframe for asserting a Claim for money damages as a result of the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and/or the abandonment of Assets Pursuant to the Sale Order and/or the Order Establishing Procedures for Debtors to Transfer, Abandon, or Sell De Minimis Assets [Docket No. 1096] (the “Abandonment Procedures Order”) shall continue to be as set forth in the Sale Order or the Abandonment Procedures Order, as applicable.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Abandonment Procedures Order shall continue to govern the abandonment of Assets by Liquidating SRC following the Confirmation Date and the Effective Date.

19.

Debtors’ Reservation of Rights Regarding Executory Contracts.  Nothing in the Plan or this Order shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that the Debtors have any liability thereunder.  

20.

Unclassified Claims.  

(a)

Distributions to Holders of Allowed Unclassified Claims (other than Professional Fee Claims) and Allowed Claims in Classes I and II shall be made at such times as required by Article 1 and Section 3.3 of the Plan.

(b)

Other than with respect to Professional Fee Claims or Claims described in 11 U.S.C. § 503(b)(1)(B) and (C), any Person asserting an Administrative Expense Claim must


25






submit a proof of Claim with respect to such Administrative Expense Claim to the Balloting and Claims Agent (in the manner set forth in the Notice of Confirmation and Effective Date (defined below) attached hereto as Exhibit B) so that it is actually received on or before the Administrative Expense Claims Bar Date (i.e., 4:00 p.m. (prevailing U.S. Eastern time) on the date that is 30 days after the Effective Date).

21.

Professional Fee Claims.  

(a)

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan dealing with Unclassified Claims, any Person asserting a Professional Fee Claim shall, no later than the Effective Date, provide the Debtors with a summary of the compensation for services rendered and expense reimbursement that such Person will seek to be allowed, on a final basis, as a Professional Fee Claim (which summary shall include, without limitation, a good faith estimate of accrued but unbilled fees and expenses through the Confirmation Date) (for each Person, its “Professional Fee Summary”), and shall, no later than 30 days after the Effective Date, File a final application for allowance of compensation for services rendered and reimbursement of expenses incurred through the Confirmation Date.  Objections to any final application for allowance of compensation for services rendered and reimbursement of expenses incurred through the Confirmation Date shall be due 30 days after such application is Filed.  All Allowed Professional Fee Claims shall be paid in accordance with Section 9.1 of the Plan.

(b)

All Professional Fee Claims for services rendered after the Confirmation Date shall be paid by the Debtors or Liquidating SRC, as applicable, upon receipt of an invoice therefor, or on such other terms as Liquidating SRC and the Professional may agree, without the requirement of any order of the Bankruptcy Court.


26






(c)

On the Effective Date, the Debtors shall establish and fund the Professional Fee Claims Escrow Account in an amount sufficient to pay, in full, any then unpaid fees and expenses (including, without limitation, any estimated, accrued but unbilled fees and expenses through the Confirmation Date set forth on the Professional Fee Summary) owed to any Person asserting a Professional Fee Claim. Amounts held in the Professional Fee Claims Escrow Account shall not constitute property of the Debtors or the Liquidating Debtors and shall only be distributed in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Plan and the Professional Fee Claims Escrow Agreement.  In the event there is a remaining balance in the Professional Fee Claims Escrow Account following payment of all Allowed Professional Fee Claims in accordance with Section 9.1 of the Plan, such remaining amount, if any, shall be paid to Liquidating SRC.  In the event that there are insufficient funds in the Professional Fee Claims Escrow Account to pay any Allowed Professional Fee Claims in accordance with the terms of the Professional Fee Claims Escrow Account, the unpaid portion of such Allowed Professional Fee Claims shall be paid by Liquidating SRC.

22.

Releases, Injunction, and Exculpation.  The releases, injunctions, and exculpation set forth in Article 7 of the Plan are hereby approved and shall be effective and binding on all Persons to the extent provided therein; provided that the releases, injunction, and exculpation shall not release any post-Effective Date obligations of any party under the Plan or any document, instrument, or agreement executed to implement the Plan.  For the avoidance of doubt, and as provided in Section 8.14 of the Plan, nothing in this Order, the Plan, or the Bankruptcy Code (and § 1141 thereof) shall in any way be construed to discharge, release, limit or relieve any party, in any capacity, from any liability or responsibility with respect to the Pension Plan or any other defined benefit pension plan under any law, governmental policy, or


27






regulatory provision.  The PBGC and the Pension Plan shall not be enjoined or precluded from enforcing such liability or responsibility by any of the provisions of the Plan, Confirmation Order, or Bankruptcy Code.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the PBGC and the Pension Plan shall continue to be subject to the provisions of Section 1.6 of the Plan, and all Claims of the PBGC (including the amended Claims Filed by the PBGC for the Pension Plan’s unfunded benefit liabilities, unpaid premiums, and unpaid minimum contributions) against the Debtors, to the extent Allowed, shall be fully satisfied by the treatment of such Allowed Claims as Unsecured Claims in Class IV of the Plan.  

23.

Injunction Against Interference with Plan.  Upon the entry of this Confirmation Order, all Holders of Claims and Equity Interests and other parties in interest, along with their respective present or former affiliates, employees, agents, officers, directors, or principals, shall be permanently enjoined from the commencement or continuation of any act or action to collect, recover, or offset from the Estates (unless such offset rights were asserted in writing prior to the Confirmation Date), the GUC Trust, the Secured Creditor Trust, or any of their property, any Claim or Equity Interest treated in the Plan; act or actions to on account of or respecting any claim, demand, liability, debt, right, cause of action, or remedy released or to be released or exculpated or to be exculpated pursuant to the Plan or this Confirmation Order; or any actions to interfere with the implementation and consummation of the Plan, except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Plan or this Confirmation Order or by Final Order enforcing the terms of the Plan.  Any Person injured by any willful violation of such injunction shall recover actual damages, including costs and attorneys’ and experts’ fees and disbursements, and, in appropriate circumstances, may recover punitive damages, from the willful violator.


28






24.

Term of Injunctions.  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Confirmation Order, all injunctions or stays provided for in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to sections 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise, and in existence on the Confirmation Date, shall remain in full force and effect until the applicable Chapter 11 Cases are closed.  In addition, on and after Confirmation Date, the Debtors may seek further Orders to preserve the status quo during the time between the Confirmation Date and the Effective Date or to enforce the provisions of the Plan.

25.

Rule 2004 Examinations.  The power of the Debtors to conduct examinations pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2004 is expressly preserved following the Effective Date; provided, however, that the Liquidating Debtors shall not conduct any Rule 2004 examination relating to any Cause of Action that is expressly waived, relinquished, compromised, or settled in the Plan, the Committee Settlement, or any Final Order (including, without limitation, the Causes of Action against the Released Parties).

26.

Preservation of Causes of Action; Settlement.  

(a)

Except for Causes of Action against a Person or Entity that are have been transferred to Taylor pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement or Causes of Action against a Person or Entity that expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised or settled in the Plan, the Committee Settlement, or any Final Order (including, without limitation, the Causes of Action against the Released Parties), the Debtors (before the Effective Date) and the Secured Creditor Trust, the GUC Trust, and the Liquidating Debtors (on and after the Effective Date) expressly reserve all Causes of Action for later adjudication (whether arising before or after the Petition Date, including any actions specifically enumerated in any supplemental documents) and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine or other rule of law, including, without limitation, the


29






doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppels, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise) or laches, shall apply to such Causes of Action upon, after, or as a result of the confirmation or Effective Date of the Plan, or this Confirmation Order.  All Causes of Action held by the Debtors’ Estates or the GUC Trust as of the Confirmation Date shall survive Confirmation of the Plan and the commencement and prosecution of any Causes of Action shall not be barred or limited by any estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise).  No defendant party to any Cause of Action (including Avoidance Actions) shall be permitted or entitled to assert any defense based, in whole or in part, upon Confirmation of the Plan, and Confirmation of the Plan shall not have any res judicata or collateral estoppel or preclusive effect upon the commencement and prosecution of Causes of Action.  The Debtors and the GUC Trustee, on behalf of the GUC Trust and any successors in interest thereto, expressly reserve the right to pursue or adopt any Causes of Action that are alleged in any lawsuit in which the Debtors are a defendant or an interested party, against any Person or Entity, including, without limitation, the plaintiffs and codefendants in such lawsuits.  The Liquidating SRC and the GUC Trustee shall, pursuant to section 1123 and all applicable law, have the requisite standing to prosecute, pursue, administer, settle, litigate, enforce and liquidate any and all Causes of Action.

(b)

No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan or the Disclosure Statement to any Cause of Action against them as any indication that the Debtors or the GUC Trustee, as applicable, will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against them.  Except with respect to Causes of Action as to which the Debtors have released any Entity on or prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors or the GUC Trustee, as applicable, expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in this Confirmation Order.  Unless any Causes of


30






Action against an Entity is expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or a Bankruptcy Court order, the GUC Trustee expressly reserves all Causes of Action, for later adjudication, and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise), or laches, shall apply to such Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the confirmation or consummation of the Plan.

27.

Dissolution of the Committee.  On the Effective Date, the Committee shall be deemed dissolved, and its members shall be deemed released of all their duties, responsibilities, and obligations as members of the Committee in connection with the Bankruptcy Cases or the Plan and its implementation, and the retention or employment of the Committee’s Professionals shall terminate; provided, however, that the Committee shall continue to exist after the Effective Date for the limited purpose of prosecution of any Professional Fee Claims pursuant to Article 9 of the Plan.

28.

Section 1146 Exemption.  Pursuant to section 1146 of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfers of property pursuant to, in contemplation of, or in connection with the Plan shall not be subject to any United States document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, stamp act, real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, or other similar tax or governmental assessment, and upon entry of this Confirmation Order, the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents shall forgo the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax, recordation fee, or governmental assessment.


31






29.

Objections.  All Objections to the Plan, confirmation of the Plan, and/or the Confirmation Order that have not been withdrawn, waived, settled or otherwise resolved are overruled in their entirety on the merits.  Furthermore, all reservation of rights, responses to, and statements and comments, if any, in opposition to the Plan, other than those withdrawn with prejudice in their entirety prior to, or on the record at, the Confirmation Hearing, shall be, and hereby are, overruled in their entirety for the reasons stated on the record.

30.

Plan Supplement.  Each of the documents that comprise the Plan Supplement, are part of the Plan and are hereby approved in connection with confirmation of the Plan.

31.

Notice of Entry of Confirmation Order and Effective Date.  Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rules 2002 and 3020(c), the Debtors are hereby authorized and directed to serve a notice of entry of this Confirmation Order and the occurrence of the Effective Date, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Notice of Confirmation and Effective Date”) no later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date, on all Holders of Claims against or Equity Interests in the Debtors and all other Persons on whom the Confirmation Hearing Notice was served.  The form of the Notice of Confirmation and Effective Date is hereby approved in all respects.  The Notice of Confirmation and Effective Date shall constitute good and sufficient notice of the entry of this Confirmation Order and of the relief granted herein, and no other or further notice of entry of this Confirmation Order or the occurrence of the Effective Date need be given.

32.

Reference to Plan.  Any document related to the Plan that refers to a chapter 11 plan of the Debtors other than the Plan confirmed by this Confirmation Order shall be, and it hereby is, deemed to be modified such that the reference to a chapter 11 plan of the Debtors in such document shall mean the Plan confirmed by this Confirmation Order, if appropriate.


32






33.

References to Plan Provisions.  The failure to specifically include or reference any particular provision of the Plan in this Confirmation Order shall not diminish or impair the effectiveness of such provision, it being the intent of this Court that the Plan (and all exhibits and schedules thereto) be confirmed in its entirety and incorporated herein by reference.

34.

Rules Governing Conflicts Between Documents.  In the event of a conflict between the terms or provisions of the Plan and any other Plan-related documents, the terms of the Plan shall control over such documents.  In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Plan or Plan-related documents, on the one hand, and the terms of this Confirmation Order, on the other hand, the terms of this Confirmation Order shall control.  This Confirmation Order shall supersede any orders of the Court issued prior to the Confirmation Date that may be inconsistent herewith.  

35.

Governmental Approvals Not Required.  Except as set forth in the Plan, this Confirmation Order shall constitute all approvals and consents required, if any, by the laws, rules or regulations of any state or any other governmental authority with respect to (i) the implementation or consummation of the Plan and (ii) any related documents, instruments or agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereto, and any other acts referred to in or contemplated by the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, any related documents, instruments or agreements related thereto, and any amendments or modifications to any of the foregoing.

36.

Binding Effect.  The Plan shall be binding upon the Debtors, all Holders of Claims and Equity Interests (whether or not the Claims and Equity Interests of such Holders are Impaired under the Plan and whether or not such Holders have accepted the Plan), parties in interest, governmental units (to the fullest extent permitted by law), or other Persons, and their respective successors and assigns.


33






37.

No Admissions.  As to contested matters, adversary proceedings, and other Causes of Action or threatened Causes of Action, nothing in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure Statement shall constitute or be construed as an admission of any fact or liability, stipulation, or waiver, but rather as a statement made in settlement negotiations.  The Plan shall not be construed to be conclusive advice on the tax, securities, and other legal effects of the Plan as to Holders of Claims against, or Equity Interests in, the Debtors or any of their subsidiaries and affiliates, as debtors and debtors in possession in the Chapter 11 Cases.

38.

Environmental Claims.  Nothing in this Order or the Plan discharges, releases, precludes or enjoins (i) any environmental liability to a governmental unit as defined in section 101(27) of the Bankruptcy Code (“Governmental Unit”) that is not a Claim; (ii) any environmental Claim of a Governmental Unit arising on or after the Effective Date; (iii) any environmental liability to a Governmental Unit on the part of any entity as the owner or operator of property after the Effective Date; or (iv) any environmental liability to a Governmental Unit on the part of any Entity other than the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors.  Nothing in this Order or Plan divests any tribunal of any jurisdiction it may have under environmental law to interpret this Order or the Plan or to adjudicate any defense asserted under this Order or the Plan.

39.

Liberty Mutual Insurance Agreements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, any exhibit to the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or this Confirmation Order, nothing in the Plan, any exhibit to the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or this Confirmation Order (including any provision that purports to be preemptory or supervening) shall in any way operate to, or have the effect of, impairing the legal, equitable or contractual rights and defenses of the insureds or insurers under the insurance policies or any related agreement issued by Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, any of its affiliates, Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company, or any co-


34






insurer insuring the same risk (collectively, the “Insurers”) for the benefit of the Debtors or their affiliates (collectively, the “Insurance Agreements”) or under any applicable non-bankruptcy law, including without limitation such Insurers’ rights, if any, to draw on letters of credit issued for such Insurers’ benefit or to apply escrowed amounts held by such Insurers, such Insurers’ rights, if any, of setoff and recoupment, and such Insurers’ rights, if any, to handle, control, direct and approve settlement of claims covered by the Insurance Agreements.

35






42.

PBGC Vote.  The PBGC’s vote to reject the Plan is withdrawn, and the PBGC shall be deemed to have abstained from voting; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, the PBGC’s Third Party Opt-Out Election is not withdrawn, and the PBGC shall not be subject to the Third Party Release in Section 7.4 of the Plan.

43.

Section 502(h) Claims.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in 11 U.S.C. §1141(d) or the Plan, Plan Supplement, or this Confirmation Order (collectively, the “Plan Documents”), nothing in the Plan Documents shall impair: (i) any General Unsecured Creditor’s right to assert a Claim under 11 U.S.C. § 502(h) (a “Section 502(h) Claim”), or (ii) the ability of a Holder of an Allowed Section 502(h) Claim to become a beneficiary of the GUC Trust (or of any other trust of which such Creditor is entitled to be or become a beneficiary) in respect of such Section 502(h) Claim.  If any Creditor has a Section 502(h) Claim, then, to the extent that such Claim is Allowed, the Creditor shall be entitled to share as a beneficiary of the GUC Trust (and as a beneficiary of any other trust of which said creditor is entitled to be or become a beneficiary) and all appropriate entries shall be made on the official register(s) maintained by the GUC Trustee and/or any other trustee to reflect such beneficial interest in respect of the Section 502(h) Claim of such Creditor.  Any Section 502(h) Claim shall be Filed, if at all, no later than thirty (30) days after such claim arises.  To the extent a Section 502(h) Claim is not timely Filed, such Claim shall not constitute an Allowed Claim for any reason, including for Distribution purposes.

44.

Substantial Consummation.  On the Effective Date, the Plan shall be deemed to be substantially consummated under section 1101 of the Bankruptcy Code.

45.

Case Closure.  Pursuant to section 350 of the Bankruptcy Code, the closing of the Chapter 11 Cases is hereby authorized.  Upon the Effective Date, the Court will enter one or


36






more order(s), in the form attached as Exhibit C, directing the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court to close such Chapter 11 Cases; provided, however, that the Chapter 11 Case of SRC Liquidation Company, Case No. 15-10541 (BLS) (the “Lead Case”) shall remain open until such time as the Liquidating SRC or the GUC Trustee Files with the Court such documents required by the Bankruptcy Rules and any applicable orders of the Court to close the Lead Case.  Upon entry of this Confirmation Order, counsel for the Debtors shall submit proposed forms of orders to the Court to enter on the docket of each individual Debtor’s Chapter 11 Case to close such Chapter 11 Case effective on the Effective Date, except for Lead Case.  At any time prior to the closing of the Lead Case, Liquidating SRC or the GUC Trustee may move to reopen a closed case.   All U.S. Trustee fees payable under 28 U.S.C. § 1930 for the closed cases shall be paid on, or as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Date.  The closing of the Chapter 11 Cases, other than the Lead Case, will in no way prejudice Liquidating SRC’s or the GUC Trustee’s rights to object or otherwise contest a proof of Claim filed against any of the Debtors, commence or prosecute any action to which any of the Debtors may be a party, or a claimant’s rights to receive Distributions under the Plan to the extent such claimant’s Claim is ultimately allowed, nor will the closing of such Chapter 11 Cases otherwise alter or modify the terms of the Plan.

46.

Retention of Jurisdiction.  The Court hereby retains jurisdiction of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases and all matters arising under, arising out of, or related to, the Chapter 11 Cases and the Plan (i) as provided for in the Plan, (ii) as provided for in this Order, and (iii) for the purposes set forth in sections 1127 and 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Notwithstanding the entry of this Order or the occurrence of the Effective Date, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 105 and 1142, the Court, except as otherwise provided in the Plan or herein, shall retain exclusive


37






jurisdiction over all matters arising out of, and related to, the Chapter 11 Cases to the fullest extent as is legally permissible.

47.

Stay of Confirmation Order.  The provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 62, as applicable pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 7062, and Bankruptcy Rule 3020(e) shall not apply to this Order, and the Debtors are authorized to consummate the Plan immediately upon entry of this Order notwithstanding any stay otherwise imposed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3020(e) or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Rules, including Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h), 7062, 9014, or otherwise.  The period in which an appeal with respect to this Order must be filed shall commence immediately upon the entry of this Order.

1.1.

Allowed Unclassified Claims.  Subject to Section 3.3 of the Plan, except to the extent otherwise agreed to by the Holder of an Allowed Unclassified Claim, each Holder of an Allowed Unclassified Claim (other than Professional Fee Claims) shall be paid in Cash the full amount of such Allowed Unclassified Claim.  Allowed Unclassified Claims (other than Professional Fee Claims) shall be paid (a) by the Debtors or Liquidating SRC on the later of the Effective Date or the date such Claim becomes due and payable (or as soon as reasonably practicable after) if such Claim is Allowed as of the Effective Date; and (b) by Liquidating SRC in accordance with Section 3.3 of the Plan if such Claim is not Allowed as of the Effective Date.

1.2.

Provisions Governing Allowance of and Defenses to Claims.  Nothing in the Plan shall affect the rights, defenses, or remedies of the Debtors, the Estates, or the Trustees in respect of any Claim, including all rights, defenses, and remedies in respect of legal and equitable objections, defenses, setoffs, or recoupment against such Claims.  The Trusts may, but shall not be required to, set off against any Claim (for purposes of determining the Allowed amount of such Claim on which Distribution shall be made), any claims of any nature whatsoever that the Estates or the Trusts may have against the Claim Holder, but neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Trusts of any such Claim they may have against such Claim Holder.  The Trustee of either Trust may designate any Claim against such Trust as Allowed at any time from and after the Effective Date without further order of the Bankruptcy Court, subject to the provisions of the applicable Trust Agreement and Article 4 below.  

1.3.

No Interest on Claims.  Except as expressly required under sections 506 and 1129(a)(9)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Holders of Claims shall not be entitled to any interest on such Claims that accrued on and after the Petition Date.

1.4.

Voting and Request to Confirm Under Section 1129(b).  Claims in Classes III and IV are Impaired and the Holders thereof are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.  Claims in Classes I and II are Unimpaired and the Holders thereof are deemed to accept the Plan and to grant the Third Party Releases.  Claims in Class V and Equity Interests in Class VI are Impaired, will not receive a Distribution under the Plan, and the Holders thereof are deemed to reject the Plan.  Any Class of Claims that does not have a Holder of a Claim as of the date of the Confirmation Hearing shall be deemed eliminated from the Plan for purposes of voting and determining acceptances and rejection of the Plan pursuant to section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code.

In view of the deemed rejection by Classes V–VI, the Debtors request the Bankruptcy Court to confirm the Plan under section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code as to such Classes and any other Class voting to reject the Plan.

1.5.

Third Party Releases.  The Plan provides for the Third Party Releases.  Each Holder of a Claim who is presumed to have accepted the Plan under section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (i.e., Holders of Claims in Classes I and II), shall be deemed to have granted the Third Party Releases.  Each Holder of a Class III or Class IV Claim entitled to vote shall be deemed to have granted the Third Party Releases unless such Holder, by the Voting Deadline, both (a) votes to reject the Plan or abstains from voting on the Plan and (b) executes and submits a Third Party Opt-Out Election.

1.6.

Disgorgement Provision.  Any Holder of a Class IV Claim shall, if such Holder initiates a lawsuit in its individual capacity against any of the Released Parties, (a) pay an amount equal to any Distributions it has received from the GUC Cash Payment to the Second Lien Agent, and (b) be deemed to have automatically waived its right to any further Distributions under the Plan or from the GUC Trust.

1.7.

Cancellation of Claims and Equity Interests.  Except as otherwise set forth in the Plan, and except for purposes of evidencing a timely asserted Claim, all notes, stock, instruments,



3







certificates, and other documents evidencing any Claims or Equity Interests shall be cancelled, shall be of no further force, whether surrendered for cancellation or otherwise, and the obligations of the Debtors thereunder or an any way related thereto shall be discharged.

1.8.

Term of Injunctions or Stays.  Unless otherwise provided, all injunctions or stays provided for in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to sections 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise, and in existence on the Confirmation Date, shall remain in full force and effect until the applicable Chapter 11 Cases are closed.

1.9.

Corporate Action.  The Confirmation Order shall approve and authorize the Debtors to take or cause to be taken all corporate actions necessary or appropriate to implement all provisions of, and to consummate, the Plan and any documents contemplated to be executed therewith, prior to, on and after the Effective Date, and all such actions taken or caused to be taken shall be deemed to have been authorized and approved by the Bankruptcy Court without the need for any further approval, act or action under any applicable law, order, rule, or regulation.


1.10.

Dissolution of Committee.  The Committee shall continue in existence through and including the Effective Date to exercise those powers and perform those duties specified in section 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code and shall perform such other duties as it may have been assigned by the Bankruptcy Court, this Plan, or the Confirmation Order prior to the Effective Date.  On the Effective Date, the Committee shall be deemed dissolved, and its members shall be deemed released of all their duties, responsibilities, and obligations as members of the Committee in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases or the Plan and its implementation, and the retention or employment of the Committee’s Professionals shall terminate; provided, however, that the Committee shall continue to exist after the Effective Date for the limited purpose of prosecution of any Professional Fee Claims pursuant to Article 9 hereof.

1.12

Termination of Debtors’ Professionals and Committee Professionals.  On the Effective Date, the Professionals for the Debtors and the Committee shall be deemed to have completed their services and their representation of the Debtors and the Committee, as applicable, shall be deemed to be terminated, provided that such Professionals shall be entitled to assert and prosecute Professional Fee Claims pursuant to Article 9 hereof.

2.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN AND THE TRUSTS

2.1.

Implementation of the Plan.  The Plan will be implemented by the Debtors, the Secured Creditor Trust and the GUC Trust, as applicable, and funded from the Assets of the Estates, the Wind-Down Amount, and the Taylor Payment Receivable.

2.2.

Substantive Consolidation.  

(a) Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute approval, pursuant to sections 105(a) and 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, effective as of the Effective Date, of the substantive consolidation of the Estates of the Debtors for the purposes of confirming and consummating the Plan, including, but not limited to, voting, confirmation and Distribution.  On and after the Effective Date, (i) all Assets and liabilities of the Debtors shall be deemed to be the Assets and liabilities of a single, consolidated Entity, (ii) each Claim Filed or to be Filed against any



4







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, provided, however, that the Claims set forth in the Mexico Consideration Tax Treatment Agreement shall be preserved solely for the purposes of implementing that Agreement, (iv) no Distributions shall be made under the Plan on account of any Claim held by a Debtor against any other Debtor, (v) the existing Equity Interests in SRC Liquidation Company shall be cancelled, (vi) no Distributions shall be made under the Plan on account of any existing Equity Interest held by a Debtor in any other Debtor, except as and to the extent required in the Mexico Consideration Tax Treatment Agreement, (vii) all guarantees of any Debtor 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.  

(b) The substantive consolidation of the Debtors under the Plan shall not (other than for purposes related to funding Distributions under the Plan) affect (i) the legal and organizational structure of the Debtors, (ii) Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that were entered into during the Chapter 11 Cases or that have been or will be assumed or rejected, (iii) any agreements entered into by the Trusts on or after the Effective Date (including any agreements entered into by the GUC Trust or the Secured Creditor Trust prior to the Effective Date, all of which are deemed to be ratified as of the Effective Date), (iv) the Debtors’ or the GUC Trust’s ability to subordinate or otherwise challenge Claims on an Entity-by-Entity basis, and (v) distributions to the Debtors or the Trusts from any insurance policies or the proceeds thereof.  In particular, the substantive consolidation of the Debtors under the Plan shall not result in any Debtor that is not a named insured or additional insured under a general commercial liability insurance policy issued to one or more of the Debtors becoming an insured under such a policy, and the substantive consolidation of the Debtors under the Plan shall not render an insurance company that issued such a general commercial liability insurance policy liable on account of any Debtor that is not a named insured or additional insured under such a policy. Notwithstanding the substantive consolidation called for herein, each and every Debtor shall remain responsible for the payment of U.S. Trustee fees pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930 until its particular case is closed, dismissed or converted.  

(c) In the event the Bankruptcy Court authorizes the Debtors to substantively consolidate less than all of the Debtors’ Estates: (i) the Plan shall be treated as a separate plan of liquidation for each Debtor not substantively consolidated, and (ii) the Debtors shall not be required to resolicit votes with respect to the Plan.

2.3.

The Debtors’ Post-Effective Date Corporate Affairs.  

2.3.1.

Debtors’ Managers, Directors, and Officers.  On the Effective Date, other than with respect to the Mexico Debtors, each of the Debtors’ managers, directors, and officers shall be deemed to resign, with such resignations to have immediate effect.  Each Person serving in the capacity of director or officer of one or more of the Debtors other than the Mexico Debtors on or prior to the Effective Date shall have no continuing obligations to the Debtors or Liquidating Debtors following the occurrence of the Effective Date.  The managers, officers, directors, and other similar agents of the Mexico Debtors shall retain their positions on and after the Effective Date.



5







2.3.2.

Appointment of Member(s), Officer(s), Managers and Director(s) of Liquidating Debtors.  The initial member(s), manager(s), officer(s) and/or director(s) of the Liquidating Debtors other than the Debtors that will be dissolved on the Effective Date and the Mexico Debtors shall be selected by the GUC Trust Oversight Committee and identified to the GUC Trustee no later than ten (10) days prior to the Plan Voting Deadline.  The GUC Trustee shall File a notice identifying the Person or Persons selected as post-Effective Date member(s), manager(s), officer(s) and/or director(s) of the Liquidating Debtors other than the Debtors that will be dissolved on the Effective Date and the Mexico Debtors and serve such notice on the Committee, the Second Lien Agent, the Debtors, and the U.S. Trustee no later than seven (7) days prior to the Plan Voting Deadline.  The appointment of the initial member(s), manager(s), officer(s) and/or director(s) of the Liquidating Debtors other than the Debtors that will be dissolved on the Effective Date and the Mexico Debtors shall be approved in the Confirmation Order, and such appointment shall be effective on the Effective Date.  Following the Effective Date, the GUC Trust Oversight Committee shall have the authority to select, appoint, remove, replace, and establish the compensation (if any) of the member(s), manager(s), officer(s) and/or director(s) of the Liquidating Debtors other than the Debtors that will be dissolved on the Effective Date and the Mexico Debtors as the GUC Trust Oversight Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, without further order of the Bankruptcy Court.  The parties with requisite authority to select, appoint, remove, replace, and establish the compensation (if any) of the member(s), manager(s), officer(s) and director(s) of the Mexico Debtors under the Mexico Debtors’ constituent documents shall continue to have such authority.   

2.3.3.

Conversion of SRC Liquidation Company; Cancellation of Shares; GUC Trust as Sole Member.  In accordance with the Implementation Memorandum, the actions set forth in this Section 2.3.3 shall be taken on the Effective Date.   Pursuant to the provisions of the Confirmation Order and without any requirement to obtain approval of Holders of existing Equity Interests of SRC Liquidation Company, SRC Liquidation Company shall be converted from an Ohio corporation into an Ohio limited liability company.  All of the existing Equity Interests in the Debtors (including all instruments evidencing such Equity Interests) shall be automatically deemed cancelled and extinguished without the requirement of any further action under any applicable agreement, law, regulation, or rule, provided, that Equity Interests in any subsidiary of SRC Liquidation Company which is wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by SRC Liquidation Company shall be preserved solely for the benefit of the Holders of Allowed Claims as provided in the Plan.   Liquidating SRC shall issue all of the Liquidating SRC Membership Interests to the GUC Trust.  The GUC Trust shall hold such Liquidating SRC Membership Interests for the benefit of the GUC Trust Beneficiaries, and such Liquidating SRC Membership Interests shall remain outstanding until Liquidating SRC is dissolved in accordance with the Plan.  

2.3.4.

Vesting of Assets and Dissolution of the Debtors.  On the Effective Date, all Assets of the Debtors not otherwise transferred either to the GUC Trust or the Secured Creditor Trust shall vest in Liquidating SRC free and clear of all Claims, Equity Interests, liens, charges or other encumbrances other than the obligations set forth in the Wind-Down Settlement, if any. On the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, and without the need for any further order of the Bankruptcy Court, action, or formality which might otherwise be required under applicable non-bankruptcy laws, (a) the Debtors other than Liquidating SRC, the Mexico Holding Debtors,  and the Mexico Debtors shall be dissolved without the need for any filings with the Secretary of State or other requisite governmental official in each Debtor’s



6







respective jurisdiction of formation and (b) the Mexico Holding Debtors and the Mexico Debtors may, in the sole discretion of Liquidating SRC, be (i) dissolved without the need for any filings with the Secretary of State or other requisite governmental official in each Debtor’s respective jurisdiction of formation, (ii) merged into or with Liquidating SRC or the GUC Trust, or, with respect to the Mexico Debtors, into each other, or (iii) sold; provided, however, that no such dissolution, merger or sale shall occur with respect to the Mexico Debtors except in accordance with and pursuant to Mexico law (and after all obligations of such Mexico Debtors to be satisfied by Taylor have been determined and satisfied) or shall have the effect of altering implementation of the Mexico Consideration Tax Treatment Agreement; provided further, however, that the proceeds of any sale of the Equity Interests of any Liquidating Debtor other than Liquidating SRC shall be remitted to the Secured Creditor Trust; the Confirmation Order may provide for such dissolution, merger or sale of such other Debtors.  Post Effective Date the GUC Trustee individually, or through its authorized representatives or designees, shall have all requisite power and authority that may be or could have been exercised with respect to each Liquidating Debtor (whether or not dissolved as of the Effective Date) by any officer, director, shareholder, member, manager or other party acting in the name of such Liquidating Debtor or its respective estate with like effect as if duly authorized, exercised and taken by action of such officers, directors, members, managers, shareholders or other party.  The GUC Trustee may also and shall be authorized to, without further notice or other of the Court, select directors and officers of the Mexico Holding Debtors post Effective Date and such directors and officers shall have the requisite authority to act on the behalf of the Mexico Holding Debtors.  To the extent they are not dissolved on the Effective Date, the applicable governing documents of the Liquidating Debtors shall be amended, if necessary, to prohibit the issuance of non-voting equity securities to the extent required by section 1123(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.  After all Disputed Claims have been resolved in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof, all payments required to be made by Liquidating SRC or Taylor under this Plan, including without limitation Section 3.2.1, have been made, and all obligations of the Debtors under the Asset Purchase Agreement have been satisfied, and without the need for any further order of the Bankruptcy Court, action, or formality which might otherwise be required under applicable non-bankruptcy laws, Liquidating SRC shall be dissolved without the need for any filings with the Secretary of State or other requisite governmental official in Liquidating SRC’s jurisdiction of formation.  If desired by Liquidating SRC, the entry of a Final Decree in any of the Chapter 11 Cases shall effect the dissolution of the Liquidating Debtor in such case to the extent permissible under applicable law; provided, however, that no such dissolution shall occur with respect to the Mexico Debtors except in accordance with and pursuant to Mexico law (and after all obligations of such Mexico Debtors to be satisfied by Taylor have been determined and satisfied) or shall have the effect of altering implementation of the Mexico Consideration Tax Treatment Agreement.  To the extent Liquidating SRC holds any Assets on the date of its dissolution that are not otherwise subject to Section 2.3.7 hereof, such Assets shall at the election of the GUC Trustee, either vest in the GUC Trust for the benefit of the GUC Trust Beneficiaries or may be sold or abandoned by Liquidating SRC pursuant to section 554 of the Bankruptcy Code and/or the Order Establishing Procedures for Debtors to Transfer, Abandon, or Sell De Minimis Assets [D.I. 1096].   

2.3.5.

Trustees of Secured Creditor Trust.  The Secured Creditor Trust is and will be managed by the Secured Creditor Trustee.  The Secured Creditor Trustee may be changed as provided in the Secured Creditor Trust Agreement.  Any such changes prior to the Effective Date shall be noticed to the Committee, the Debtors and the U.S. Trustee.  



7







2.3.6.

Establishment of Secured Creditor Trust.  On the Effective Date, the Debtors and the Secured Creditor Trustee shall ratify the Secured Creditor Trust Agreement and shall confirm that the trust referred to in such Agreement is the Secured Creditor Trust pursuant to the Plan.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan and the terms of the Secured Creditor Trust Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control.

2.3.7.

Secured Creditor Trust Assets.  Notwithstanding any prohibition of assignability under applicable non-bankruptcy law, on the Effective Date, except as provided in the Wind-Down Settlement, the Debtors shall transfer to the Secured Creditor Trust all of their right, title, and interest in and to all of the Secured Creditor Trust Assets not already transferred to the Secured Creditor Trust pursuant to the Wind-Down Settlement, if any. In accordance with section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, all Secured Creditor Trust Assets shall automatically vest in the Secured Creditor Trust free and clear of all Claims and Liens, other than Permitted Claims and Liens under the Second Lien Term Loan Facility and the Claims and Liens of the Second Lien Agent, Holders of Class III Claims and Bank of America, N.A..  The BofA Cash Collateral Agreement shall be deemed assigned, by virtue of this Plan and the Confirmation Order, to the Secured Creditor Trust on the Effective Date, and the Secured Creditor Trust shall be deemed the successor to the Debtors for the purposes of the BofA Cash Collateral Agreement and shall have the right to enforce any rights of the Debtors thereunder. In connection with the vesting and transfer of the Secured Creditor Trust Assets, including, without limitation, any Causes of Action that are Secured Creditor Trust Assets, any attorney-client privilege, work-product protection or other privilege or immunity attaching to any documents or communications (whether written or oral) transferred to the Secured Creditor Trust shall vest in the Secured Creditor Trust.  The Debtors and the Secured Creditor Trustee are authorized to take all necessary actions to effectuate the transfer of such privileges, protections and immunities.  All Assets transferred to the Secured Creditor Trust shall be transferred free of any stamp or similar tax to the maximum extent permitted under section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.  All transfers of Secured Creditor Trust Assets to third parties in accordance with the Secured Creditor Trustee’s duties and responsibilities under this Plan and the Secured Creditor Trust Agreement are transfers pursuant to this Plan and accordingly shall be free of any stamp or similar taxes.  To the extent any Secured Creditor Trust Assets are mistakenly transferred to the GUC Trust or vest in the Liquidating Debtors, the GUC Trust and/or the Liquidating Debtors, as applicable, shall, upon request, reasonably cooperate with the Secured Creditor Trust in causing such Secured Creditor Trust Assets to be transferred to the Secured Creditor Trust; and any such transfer shall be deemed made pursuant to the Plan, retroactive to the Effective Date.

2.4.

GUC Trust.  

2.4.1.

GUC Trust Trustees.  The GUC Trust is and will be managed by the GUC Trustee.  The GUC Trustee may be changed as provided in the GUC Trust Agreement.  Any such changes prior to the Effective Date shall be noticed to the Second Lien Agent, the Committee, the Debtors and the U.S. Trustee.

2.4.2.

Establishment of the GUC Trust.  On the Effective Date, the Debtors and the GUC Trustee shall ratify the GUC Trust Agreement and shall confirm that the trust referred to in such Agreement is the GUC Trust pursuant to the Plan.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan and the terms of the GUC Trust Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control.

2.4.3.

Transfer and Vesting of GUC Trust Assets.  On the Effective Date, notwithstanding any restriction on or prohibition of assignability under applicable non-bankruptcy law the Debtors shall transfer, to the extent not previously transferred pursuant to the Committee Settlement and the GUC Trust Agreement, all of their right, title, and interest in and to the GUC Trust Assets to the GUC Trust in trust for the benefit of the GUC Trust Beneficiaries and, in accordance with section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, all such Assets shall automatically vest in the GUC Trust, free and clear of all Claims and liens, subject only to repayment of the GUC Trust Seed Funding Amount and the expenses of the GUC Trust as set forth herein and in the GUC Trust Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the transfer, pursuant to the Committee Settlement, of any GUC Trust Assets to the GUC Trust prior to the Effective Date is ever deemed ineffective or otherwise invalid, such GUC Trust Assets shall be deemed transferred to the GUC Trust pursuant to this Plan, effective as of the Effective Date.  On the Effective Date, to the extent that any GUC Trust Assets cannot be transferred to the GUC Trust for any reason, (a) the GUC Trustee is appointed as a representative of the Liquidating Debtors’ estates pursuant to section 1123(b)(3)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to such Assets and (b) the Liquidating Debtors shall be deemed to have transferred and assigned to the GUC Trust, for the benefit of the GUC Trust Beneficiaries, all of their right, title, and interest in and to the proceeds of such Assets.  All Assets transferred to the GUC Trust shall be transferred free of any stamp or similar tax to the extent permitted under section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.  All transfers of GUC Trust Assets to third parties in accordance with the GUC Trustee’s duties and responsibilities under this Plan and the GUC Trust Agreement are transfers pursuant to this Plan and accordingly shall be free of any stamp or similar taxes.  


In connection with the vesting and transfer of the GUC Trust Assets (including but not limited to the GUC Trust Causes of Action), any attorney-client privilege, work-product protection or other privilege or immunity attaching to any documents or communications (whether written or oral) transferred to the GUC Trust shall be transferred to and vest in the GUC Trust.  Privileged communications may be shared among the GUC Trustee, the GUC Trust Oversight Committee, and the Liquidating Debtors without compromising the privileged nature of such communications, in accordance with the common interest doctrine.  The Plan shall be considered a motion for such relief pursuant to sections 105, 363, and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Debtors and the GUC Trustee are authorized to take all necessary actions to effectuate the transfer from the Debtors to the GUC Trust of such privileges, protections, and immunities held by the Debtors in connection with the GUC Trust Causes of Action.  To the extent any GUC Trust Assets are mistakenly transferred to the Secured Creditor Trust, the Secured Creditor Trust shall, upon request, reasonably cooperate with the GUC Trust in causing such GUC Trust Assets to be transferred to the GUC Trust; and any such transfer shall be deemed made pursuant to the Plan, retroactive to the Effective Date.

2.4.4.

Repayment of GUC Trust Seed Funding Amount.  Prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors advanced the GUC Trust Seed Funding Amount to the GUC Trust from the Wind-Down Amount.  The GUC Trust shall repay the GUC Trust Seed Funding Amount as provided in Section 2.8 of the GUC Trust Agreement before payment of any proceeds, other than the GUC Cash Payment, to beneficiaries of the GUC Trust.

2.4.5.

GUC Cash Payment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, proceeds from the GUC Cash Payment shall be used solely as set forth in the Committee Settlement and the GUC Trust Agreement.

2.5.

Treatment of GUC Trust and Secured Creditor Trust for Federal Income Tax Purposes; No Successor in-Interest.  

The Trusts shall be established for the primary purpose of liquidating and distributing the Assets transferred to them, in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 301.7701-4(d), with no objective to continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business, except to the extent reasonably necessary to, and consistent with, the liquidating purpose of the Trusts.  Accordingly, the Trustee(s) of the GUC Trust and the Secured Creditor Trust shall, in an expeditious but orderly manner, liquidate and convert to Cash the Assets of the respective Trust, and make timely Distributions to the beneficiaries of each Trust, and not unduly prolong the duration of the Trusts.  Neither the GUC Trust nor the Secured Creditor Trust shall be deemed a successor-in-interest of the Debtors for any purpose other than as specifically set forth herein or in the relevant Trust Agreement.

Each Trust is intended to qualify as a “grantor trust” for federal income tax purposes with the beneficiaries of such Trust treated as grantors and owners of the Trust.  For all federal income tax purposes, all parties (including, without limitation, the Debtors, the Trustees, and the beneficiaries of the Trusts) shall treat the transfer of the Assets by the Debtors to the Trusts, as set forth in the Trust Agreements, as a transfer of such Assets by the Debtors to the Holders of Allowed Claims entitled to Distributions from the Assets of the relevant Trust, followed by a transfer by such Holders to the relevant Trust.  Thus, the beneficiaries of each Trust shall be treated as the grantors and owners of a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes.

As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, the Trustees of each Trust (to the extent that the Trustees deem it necessary or appropriate in their sole discretion) shall make a good faith determination of the value of the Assets of such Trust.  The valuation shall be used consistently by all parties (including the Debtors, the Trustees, and the beneficiaries of the Trusts) for all federal income tax purposes.  The Bankruptcy Court shall resolve any dispute regarding the valuation of the Assets transferred either to the GUC Trust or the Secured Creditor Trust.

The right and power of the Trustees of each Trust to invest the Assets transferred to such Trust, the proceeds thereof, or any income earned by the Trust, shall be as set forth in the Trust Agreements.

2.5.1.

Responsibilities of Trustees.  The responsibilities of the Trustees of each Trust, which shall be discharged in accordance with the terms of this Plan and the relevant Trust Agreement, shall include, but shall not be limited to, the following:

(a)

Administering, liquidating, and monetizing the Assets of the Trust;

(b)

Objecting to and resolving Disputed Claims pursuant to Article 4 hereof;

(c)

Investigating, pursuing, litigating, settling, or abandoning any Causes of Action transferred to the Trust and, in the case of the GUC Trustee, administering the Assets of the Liquidating Debtors, in conjunction with the manager(s) and officer(s) of Liquidating SRC, pursuant to section 1123(b)(3)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code;

(d)

Making Distributions in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the relevant Trust Agreement;

(e)

Preparing and Filing post-Effective Date operating reports;

(f)

Filing appropriate tax returns in the exercise of their fiduciary obligations;

(g)

Retaining such professionals as are necessary and appropriate in furtherance of its fiduciary obligations; and

(h)

Taking such actions as are necessary and reasonable to carry out the purposes of the Trust.

As of the Effective Date, to the extent necessary or appropriate to effectuate the terms of the Plan and the relevant Trust Agreement, the Trustees of each Trust shall, as to any Assets transferred to such Trust pursuant to the Plan or the Committee Settlement, be deemed to be a representative of the Debtors’ estates in the Chapter 11 Cases, under the Plan, or in any judicial proceeding or appeal to which a Debtor is a party, consistent with section 1123(b)(3)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Subject to the terms of the relevant Trust Agreement, each Trust may hire and employ its own counsel, financial advisors, or other consultants, and the retention as a Professional during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not prohibit the Trust from hiring any particular Professional.

2.5.2.

Cost and Expenses of Trusts.  All costs and expenses of each Trust shall be the responsibility of and paid by that Trust, as provided in the relevant Trust Agreement.  

2.5.3.

Bonding of Trustees.  The Trustee of each Trust shall not be obligated to obtain a bond but may do so, in his, her, or its sole discretion, in which case the expense incurred by such bonding shall be paid by the relevant Trust.

2.5.4.

Dissolution of the Trusts.  Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Trust Agreement, the Trusts shall be dissolved no later than five (5) years from the Effective Date unless the Bankruptcy Court, upon a motion Filed on or before the fifth anniversary or the end of any extension period approved by the Bankruptcy Court (the Filing of which motion shall automatically extend the term of the Trust pending the entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court granting or denying the motion), determines that a fixed period extension is necessary to facilitate or complete the recovery and liquidation of the Assets of the relevant Trust.  Any such extension must be approved by the Bankruptcy Court within six (6) months of the beginning of the extended term.  As to each Trust, after (a) the final Distribution of the reserves and the balance of the Assets or proceeds of the Assets of such Trust pursuant to the Plan, (b) the Filing by or on behalf of the Trust of a certification of dissolution with the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with the Plan, and (c) any other action deemed appropriate by the Trustees of the Trust, the Trust shall be deemed dissolved for all purposes without the necessity for any other or further actions.

2.5.5.

Liability, Indemnification of the Trust Protected Parties.  The Trust Protected Parties shall not be liable for any act or omission of any other Trust Protected Parties or the



11







member, designee, agent, or representative of such Trust Protected Parties, nor shall such Trust Protected Parties be liable for any act or omission taken or not taken (including, without limitation, any claim relating to or arising out of the implementation or administration of this Plan, the activities of the applicable Trust, the Assets or liabilities of the Debtors or the applicable Trust, or the responsibilities or obligations of the Trust Protected Parties with respect to the Plan, the applicable Trust, the Debtors, or the Liquidating Debtors (including, without limitation, claims under applicable environmental law)) other than for specific acts or omissions resulting from, and found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by, such Trust Protected Parties’ willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud.  A Trustee of the Trusts may, in connection with the performance of his, her, or its functions, and in his, her, or its sole and absolute discretion, consult with his, her, or its attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, and agents.  Notwithstanding such authority, no Trustee of any Trust shall be under any obligation to consult with his, her, or its attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, and agents, and his, her, or its determination not to do so shall not result in the imposition of liability on the Trustee, unless such determination is based on willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud.  Each Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless its own Trust Protected Parties, and not the Trust Protected Parties from any other Trust created pursuant to the Plan, from and against and in respect of all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees, disbursements, and related expenses) which such Trust Protected Parties may incur or to which such Trust Protected Parties may become subject to in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, or investigation brought by or threatened against such Trust Protected Parties arising out of or due to their acts or omissions or consequences of such acts or omissions, with respect to the implementation or administration of the applicable Trust or the Plan or the discharge of their duties hereunder; provided, however, that no such indemnification will be made to such Trust Protected Parties for actions or omissions as a result of their willful misconduct, gross negligence, or fraud.

2.5.6.

Full and Final Satisfaction against Trusts.  On and after the Effective Date, neither the GUC Trust nor the Secured Creditor Trust shall have any liability on account of any Claims or Equity Interests except as set forth in the Plan and in the relevant Trust Agreement.  All payments and all Distributions made by each Trust under the Plan shall be in full and final satisfaction, settlement, and release of and in exchange for all Claims or Equity Interests against such Trust.

2.6.

Bank of America Claims.  The Claims held by Bank of America, N.A. pursuant to the BofA Cash Collateral Agreement shall be Other Secured Claims and shall be treated as set forth in this Section 2.6.  The BofA Cash Collateral Agreement shall be assumed, affirmed and reinstated in full, and assigned to the Secured Creditor Trust along with the BofA Cash Collateral Account, leaving unaffected BofA’s legal, equitable and contractual rights, including, without limitation, the lien of Bank of America, N.A. upon the LC Cash Collateral (as such term is defined in the BofA Cash Collateral Agreement). The Secured Creditor Trust, as assignee of the Debtors, shall maintain the BofA Cash Collateral Account and Bank of America, N.A. shall be entitled to payment of its Claims, if any, from the BofA Cash Collateral Account in accordance with the terms and conditions of the BofA Cash Collateral Agreement.  On and after the Effective Date, Bank of America, N.A. shall have no recourse against Liquidating SRC, the GUC Trustee, or the GUC Trust Assets for any Claims arising under the BofA Cash Collateral Agreement.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Plan or in the Secured Creditor Trust Agreement, (i) the BofA Cash Collateral Account shall remain at Bank of



12







America, N.A., shall continue to be subject to the terms of the BofA Cash Collateral Agreement and any account agreement (the “BofA Account Agreement”) entered into at any time with Bank of America, N.A. in connection with the opening of the BofA Cash Collateral Account, and shall remain open until all balances on deposit in the BofA Cash Collateral Account have been disbursed in accordance with the BofA Cash Collateral Agreement and the BofA Cash Collateral Agreement has been terminated; (ii) as of the Effective Date, the BofA Account Agreement shall be deemed assumed by the Debtors and assigned to the Secured Creditor Trust, and the Secured Creditor Trust shall be deemed the successor to the Debtors for the purposes of the BofA Account Agreement, shall continue to abide by and be subject to the terms of the BofA Account Agreement, and shall be entitled to all rights and benefits of the Debtors thereunder; (iii) no costs, expenses, taxes, or charges incurred by the Secured Creditor Trust or the Secured Creditor Trustee, the Advisor, any member of the Oversight Committee, any Agent or any officer or employee of the Secured Creditor Trust (as such terms are defined in the Secured Creditor Trust Agreement) including, without limitation, any professional fees and expenses, and no indemnification claim under the Secured Creditor Trust Agreement shall be payable from the deposit balances in the BofA Cash Collateral Account except from any Return Amount (as such term is defined in the BofA Cash Collateral Agreement) or other deposits returned to the Secured Creditor Trust (as successor to, and assignee of, the Debtors) pursuant to the terms of the BofA Cash Collateral Agreement; (iv) no Holder of a Claim in Classes I through VI shall have or be granted a lien upon the BofA Cash Collateral Account, the deposit balances in such account and its proceeds superior to or on par with the interest and lien of Bank of America, N.A. under the BofA Cash Collateral Agreement; (v) the Secured Creditor Trustee shall have no authority to liquidate, monetize or invest any part of the balances on deposit at any time in the BofA Cash Collateral Account, except in accordance with the terms of the BofA Cash Collateral Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to any Return Amount; (vi) immediately upon the assignment of the BofA Cash Collateral Account to the Secured Creditor Trust, the lien and security interest of Bank of America, N.A. upon and in the BofA Cash Collateral Account and the LC Cash Collateral shall be deemed valid, binding and duly perfected, without Bank of America, N.A. being required to file any UCC-1 financing statement or similar document (but Bank of America, N.A. shall be authorized to make any such filings it deems appropriate in its discretion), and Bank of America, N.A. shall be deemed to have control over the BofA Cash Collateral Account for all purposes of perfection under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect under applicable law; and (vii) in connection with the assignment of the BofA Cash Collateral Account and BofA Cash Collateral Agreement to the Secured Creditor Trust, the Debtors, Liquidating SRC, and the Secured Creditor Trustee shall provide such information to, execute and deliver such documents to, and take such further actions as Bank of America, N.A. reasonably requests from time to time to evidence and give effect to such assignment and to perfect, and to continue and maintain perfection of, Bank of America, N.A.’s lien upon the BofA Cash Collateral Account and the LC Cash Collateral; provided, however, that such security interest shall terminate automatically pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth under the heading “Security Interests; Right of Setoff” in the BofA Cash Collateral Agreement.


2.7.

Continuation as Debtor in Possession Between the Confirmation Date and the Effective Date.  During the period from the Confirmation Date through the Effective Date, except as expressly provided herein, the Debtors shall continue to manage their Assets and resolve their liabilities, as debtors-in-possession, subject to the oversight of the Bankruptcy Court as provided in the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and all orders of the Bankruptcy



13







Court that are then in full force and effect.

EXECUTION OF THE PLAN

3.1.

Effective Date.  The Plan shall become effective on the date that is the first Business Day on which each condition set forth in Article 6 of the Plan has been satisfied or waived as set forth therein (the “Effective Date”).  On the Effective Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, Liquidating SRC, the GUC Trustee, and the Secured Creditor Trustee, as applicable, shall consummate, pursuant to section 1123(a)(5)(D) of the Bankruptcy Code, those transactions and sales of property, if any, set forth in the Plan or the Plan Supplement.

3.2.

Funding, Distributions and Reserves for Class III and IV Claims.  

3.2.1.

Transfers to Trusts.  On the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as practicable, and to the extent not previously transferred pursuant to the Committee Settlement, the GUC Trust Agreement or the Wind-Down Settlement, the GUC Trust Assets will be transferred by the Debtors to the GUC Trust and the Secured Creditor Trust Assets will be transferred by the Debtors to the Secured Creditor Trust.  The GUC Trust Assets and the Secured Creditor Trust Assets transferred by the Debtors shall be deemed vested in the respective Trust.  The Liquidating Debtors shall not make any further transfers or contributions to the GUC Trust until all Unclassified Claims, Priority Claims, and Other Secured Claims are satisfied in accordance with the Plan; thereafter, subject to Section 2.3.7 hereof, all remaining Assets of Liquidating SRC may be transferred by Liquidating SRC to the GUC Trust.

3.2.2.

No Waiver.  The Debtors, the Liquidating Debtors, the GUC Trustee, and the Secured Creditor Trustee reserve the right to pursue any and all Causes of Action vested in them pursuant to the provisions of this Plan, the Trust Agreements, and/or the Committee Settlement, and all rights of the Liquidating Debtors, the Secured Creditor Trust, and the GUC Trust to pursue, administer, settle, litigate, enforce and liquidate any and all such Causes of Action consistent with the terms and conditions of the Plan, Secured Creditor Trust Agreement, the GUC Trust Agreement, and the Committee Settlement are hereby preserved.  The Liquidating Debtors and the GUC Trustee shall, pursuant to Section 1123 and all applicable law, have the requisite standing to prosecute, pursue, administer, settle, litigate, enforce and liquidate the GUC Trust Causes of Action and Avoidance Actions. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) the GUC Trust Adversary Proceeding, the GUC Trust Causes of Action and Avoidance Actions are expressly preserved, and (b) all Causes of Action against the Released Parties are expressly released as set forth in the Committee Settlement, Article 7 hereof, and the corollary provisions of the Confirmation Order.  The Secured Creditor Trust shall, pursuant to section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, have the requisite standing to prosecute, pursue, administer, settle, litigate, enforce, and liquidate any Causes of Action that constitute Secured Creditor Trust Assets.

Except for Causes of Action against a Person or Entity that are expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised or settled in this Plan, the Committee Settlement, the Wind-Down Settlement, or any Final Order (including, without limitation, the Causes of Action against the Released Parties), the Debtors (before the Effective Date) and the Secured Creditor Trust, the GUC Trust, and the Liquidating Debtors (on and after the Effective Date) expressly reserve all Causes of Action for later adjudication and, therefore,



14







no preclusion doctrine or other rule of law, including, without limitation, the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise) or laches, shall apply to such Causes of Action upon, after, or as a result of the confirmation or Effective Date of the Plan, or the Confirmation Order.  All Causes of Action held by the Debtors’ Estates or the GUC Trust as of the Confirmation Date shall survive Confirmation of the Plan and the commencement and prosecution of any Causes of Action shall not be barred or limited by any estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise).  Subject to the Committee Settlement, Article 7 hereof, and the corollary provisions of the Confirmation Order, the rights of the Secured Creditor Trust, the GUC Trust, and the Liquidating Debtors to commence and prosecute Causes of Action shall not be abridged, limited, or altered in any manner by reason of Confirmation of the Plan or the occurrence of the Effective Date.  No defendant party to any Cause of Action (including Avoidance Actions) shall be permitted or entitled to assert any defense based, in whole or in part, upon Confirmation of the Plan, and Confirmation of the Plan shall not have any res judicata or collateral estoppel or preclusive effect upon the commencement and prosecution of Causes of Action.  In addition, the Debtors, the Liquidating Debtors, the Secured Creditor Trust, and the GUC Trust, and any successors in interest thereto, expressly reserve the right to pursue or adopt any Causes of Action not so waived, relinquished, released, compromised or settled that are alleged in any lawsuit in which the Debtors are a defendant or an interested party, against any Person, including, without limitation, the plaintiffs and co-defendants in such lawsuits.

3.2.3.

Issuance of Beneficial Interests.  

(a)

On the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as practicable, (i) the GUC Trust will reaffirm the issuance of beneficial interests, as provided in this Plan and the GUC Trust Agreement, to Holders of Allowed Claims in Class IV, subject to any reserve for Disputed Class IV Claims, and (ii) the Secured Creditor Trust will reaffirm the issuance of beneficial interests, as provided in this Plan, to Holders of Allowed Claims in Class III.  Each Holder of Allowed Claims in Class III shall receive its proportionate beneficial interest reflecting that Holder’s Pro Rata Share, as reflected in the books and records of the Second Lien Agent, of the total beneficial interests in the Secured Creditor Trust.  Each Holder of Allowed Claims in Class IV shall receive a beneficial interest reflecting that Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the total beneficial interests in the GUC Trust.  In calculating a Holder’s Pro Rata Share, the Secured Creditor Trust shall be entitled to rely on the books and records of the Second Lien Agent and need not set aside and reserve for any Class III Disputed Claims, and the GUC Trust shall create a reserve of beneficial interests for Class IV Disputed Claims, and shall resolve and distribute such reserve as provided below.

(b)

The GUC Trust shall set aside and reserve a Pro Rata Share of beneficial interests in the GUC Trust (and payments and Distributions on account of such reserved beneficial interests) which would be distributable to the Holder of any Class IV Disputed Claim as if such Claim were an Allowed Claim.  Liquidating SRC shall be responsible, at its cost, for the resolution of all Class IV Disputed Claims.

3.3.

Distributions and Establishment of Reserves for Unclassified Claims, Other Secured Claims, and Priority Claims.  



15







3.3.1.

Distributions on Account of Allowed Unclassified Claims, Other Secured Claims, and Priority Claims; Establishment of Reserves.  On or before the Effective Date, the Debtors shall establish accounts and fund reserves necessary to effectuate the terms of the Plan. Except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 3.3.1, the Debtors or Liquidating SRC, as applicable, shall (a) pay (or reserve and promptly pay) in Cash on the later of the Effective Date and the date on which such Claims become due and payable the Allowed amount of all Unclassified Claims (other than Professional Fee Claims) and Priority Claims to the extent such Claims are Allowed as of the Effective Date, (b) with respect to Other Secured Claims other than the Other Secured Claim of Bank of America, N.A. that are Allowed as of the Effective Date, (i) satisfy such Claims in whole or in part by the transfer of all or any portion of the Assets securing such Claims  or (ii) at the election of the Second Lien Agent made on or before the Effective Date and with the consent of the Debtors (A) reinstate such Claims in full, leaving unaffected the Holder’s legal, equitable and contractual rights; provided that the Committee’s consent shall be required for such reinstatement if the Creditor has any Secured Claim against Liquidating SRC or the GUC Trust, (B) pay such Claims in Cash up to the Allowed amount of such Claims, (C) begin to make deferred Cash payments having a present value on the Effective Date equal to the Allowed amount of such Claims, or (D) treat such Claims in a manner that would provide the “indubitable equivalent” of such Claims, (c) as to the Other Secured Claim of Bank of America, N.A., assume and assign the Debtors’ right, title and interest in the BofA Cash Collateral Agreement to the Secured Creditor Trust, which shall continue to abide by the terms and conditions of the BofA Cash Collateral Agreement and be entitled to all benefits and proceeds related thereto as set forth in Section 2.6 hereof, (d) establish and fund an escrow account for payment in Cash of estimated Allowed Professional Fee Claims, (e) deposit or allocate funds in the Disputed Claims Reserve for each timely-Filed Priority Claim that is Disputed as of the Effective Date in the amount asserted for such Claim as of the Effective Date or in such other amount as may be ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, after notice and hearing, and (f) set aside the collateral, or the proceeds of such collateral, securing any Other Secured Claim that is Disputed as of the Effective Date.  The Disputed Claims Reserve shall be funded first by any portion of the Wind-Down Amount not needed to pay Professional Fee Claims in accordance with Article 9 of the Plan or Allowed Unclassified Claims and Allowed Priority Claims in accordance with this Section 3.3.1 of the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors shall not be required to pay (or reserve for), any Unclassified Claims, Priority Claims, Other Secured Claims or other Claims that are to be paid, directly or indirectly, by Taylor in connection with the Taylor Payment Receivable, provided that, at Confirmation, the Court may require Taylor to confirm its financial capability timely to pay the Taylor Payment Receivable.

3.3.2.

Payment of Disputed Unclassified Claims, Other Secured Claims and Priority Claims.  All Unclassified Claims (other than Professional Fee Claims) that are not Allowed as of the Effective Date shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the date they become Allowed Claims. Priority Claims that are not Allowed as of the Effective Date shall be paid from the funds in the Disputed Claims Reserve or, as applicable, from the Taylor Payment Receivable.  Any Other Secured Claim that is not Allowed as of the Effective Date shall be paid solely from the collateral, or the proceeds thereof, set aside for the payment of such Disputed Other Secured Claim. After the Effective Date, Liquidating SRC shall manage and administer the Disputed Claims Reserve and the claims asserted against such Disputed Claims Reserve, and the Secured Creditor Trust shall manage and administer the resolution of any Disputed Other Secured Claim and the collateral, or proceeds thereof, set aside with respect to such Disputed Other Secured Claim.  Upon the resolution of all Priority Claims that are not to be paid by Taylor from the



16







Taylor Payment Receivable, the remaining funds in the Disputed Claims Reserve shall be distributed to the Holders of such Claims up to the full Allowed amount of such Claims.  If the funds in the Disputed Claims Reserve are insufficient to satisfy the full Allowed amount of the Priority Claims that were not Allowed as of the Effective Date and that were not to be paid by Taylor from the Taylor Payment Receivable, the shortfall shall be funded into the Disputed Claims Reserve by Liquidating SRC and distributed to Holders of Allowed Priority Claims in accordance with the preceding sentence.  The Holders of Unclassified Claims, Priority Claims and Other Secured Claims shall have no recourse to any Assets of the GUC Trust or Secured Creditor Trust, nor shall such Holders have any recourse or Cause of Action against the Secured Creditor Trust, the GUC Trust or the Trustees for the failure to receive payment (whether full or partial) on account of their Allowed Claims.  The excess amount, if any, remaining in the Disputed Claims Reserve (other than amounts set aside for Disputed Other Secured Claims) shall be used to satisfy the costs and expenses of Liquidating SRC (including, without limitation, the costs of resolution of all Class IV Disputed Claims, with the remaining funds being transferred to the GUC Trust, and any such funds that are transferred to the GUC Trust shall be used and distributed in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the GUC Trust Agreement.  No funds shall be paid to the GUC Trust out of the Disputed Claims Reserve until such time as all Disputed Unclassified Claims (other than Professional Fee Claims) and all Priority Claims have been resolved in accordance with this Subsection 3.3.2 of the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, collateral, or the proceeds of such collateral, set aside for any Disputed Other Secured Claim that is not required to pay such Disputed Other Secured Claim shall be paid to the Secured Creditor Trust, and any such Assets that are transferred to the Secured Creditor Trust shall be used and distributed in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Secured Creditor Trust Agreement.  Nothing in the Plan, including without limitation this Section 3.3.2, shall relieve Taylor of the obligation to pay any portion of the Taylor Payment Receivable.

3.4.

Timing of Distribution.  Distributions to Holders of Allowed Unclassified Claims (other than Professional Fee Claims) and Allowed Claims in Classes I and II shall be made at such times as required by Article 1 and Section 3.3 of the Plan, and Distributions to Holders of Allowed Professional Fee Claims shall be made in accordance with Article 9 of the Plan.  The timing of all other Distributions shall be made in accordance with the terms of the relevant Trust Agreement.

3.5.

Distributions on Account of Disputed Claims.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, no partial payments and no partial Distributions shall be made with respect to a Disputed Claim until the resolution of such disputes by settlement in accordance with Section 4.2 of the Plan or Final Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Person who holds both an Allowed Claim(s) and a Disputed Claim(s) shall receive the appropriate payment or Distribution on the Allowed Claim(s), although no payment or Distribution shall be made on the Disputed Claim(s) until such dispute is resolved by settlement or Final Order.

3.6.

Delivery of Distributions.  Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreements, Distributions shall be made to Record Holders of Allowed Claims: (a) first, at the address set forth on the Record Holder’s last Filed proof of Claim or the address set forth in any later written notice of address change Filed by such Holder; (b) second, at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if neither a proof of Claim nor a written notice of address change has been Filed; and (c) third, if the Record Holder’s address is not listed in the Schedules, and such Record



17







Holder has not Filed a proof of Claim or written notice of address change, at the last known address of such Record Holder according to the Debtors’ books and records.  Except for the preceding sentence, none of the Debtors, the GUC Trustee, or the Secured Creditor Trustee, as applicable, is required to make any additional inquiry into the address to which it must deliver a Distribution under the Plan.  

3.7.

Requirements for Distributions; Unclaimed Distributions.  Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Trust Agreement, prior to making any Distribution to the Holder of an Allowed Claim, Liquidating SRC (in connection with all Unclassified Claims (other than Professional Fee Claims), Priority Claims, and Other Secured Claims), the GUC Trust (in connection with Class IV Claims, and the Secured Creditor Trust (in connection with Class III Claims) shall require that the Holder of such Claim furnish all documents required by applicable tax law or other government regulation as a condition to the making of a Distribution (the “Required Reporting Documents”).  If (a) the Holder of an Allowed Claim fails to furnish the Required Reporting Documents within ninety (90) days, or such longer period agreed to by the requesting party, of a written request for the Required Reporting Documents, or (b) a Distribution made on account of an Allowed Claim is not accepted within ninety (90) days from the mailing of such Distribution, then (x) the Liquidating SRC, the GUC Trust, or the Secured Creditor Trust, as applicable, shall treat such Distribution (or Distribution to be made) as forfeited and the Distribution shall be distributed pro rata to other claimants in the same Class as the forfeiting Holder, provided that no claimant shall receive greater than payment in full, and (y) the forfeiting Holder shall receive no further Distributions and shall forfeit its rights to collect any amounts under the Plan.  

3.8.

De Minimis Distributions.  Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Trust Agreement, neither Liquidating SRC, nor the Trusts shall be required to make any single Distribution to the Record Holder of an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest if such Distribution would be less than $25.00 (the “Threshold Amount”); provided, however, that Liquidating SRC and the Trusts shall make a Distribution to the Record Holder of an Allowed Claim if the aggregate Distributions to which such party would otherwise be entitled exceed $25.00.  Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Trust Agreement, after all the Assets of a Trust have been reduced to Cash or abandoned, the relevant Trust shall make the final Distribution.  In the event that any final Distribution for an Allowed Claim is less than the Threshold Amount (each a “De Minimis Final Distribution”), the relevant Trust shall tender such De Minimis Final Distribution (together will all other De Minimis Final Distributions) to a charity selected by the Trustees of the Trust.  In addition, either Trustee may donate any Assets of the applicable Trust that would be impractical to distribute to its beneficial interest holders to a charity selected by the applicable Trustee.

3.9.

Records.  After the Effective Date, Liquidating SRC shall succeed to the Debtors’ books and records relating to the conduct of the Debtors’ business prior to the Effective Date, including all of the Debtors’ rights with respect thereto.  The GUC Trustee shall have equal access to all such books and records, and Liquidating SRC shall make such books and records reasonably available to the Secured Creditor Trust at the sole expense of the Secured Creditor Trust.  The Debtors’ right access to its former books and records that were sold to Taylor shall continue to be governed by the terms and conditions related to such access as set forth in the MTSA.    

3.10.

Effectuating Documents.  The Debtors and the Trustees, as the case may be, shall be authorized to execute, deliver, file, or record such contracts, instruments, and releases and

CLAIM ALLOWANCE

4.1.

Claim Objections.  All objections to Claims shall be Filed within 180 days after the Effective Date (the “Claim Objection Deadline”).  The Claim Objection Deadline may be extended upon a motion Filed with the Bankruptcy Court by Liquidating SRC or the GUC Trustee (or, in the case of Class I Claims (other than the Other Secured Claim of Bank of America, N.A.) and Class III Claims (other than the Second Lien Secured Claim filed by the Second Lien Agent), by the Secured Creditor Trust) prior to the expiration of the Claim Objection Deadline.  The Claim Objection Deadline shall be automatically extended upon the Filing of a motion requesting an extension of the Claim Objection Deadline until such time as the Bankruptcy Court acts on such motion, without the necessity for the entry of a bridge order.

4.2.

Resolution of Disputed Claims.  From and after the Effective Date, Liquidating SRC and the GUC Trustee shall have the exclusive authority to compromise, resolve and Allow any Disputed Claim other than Class I and Class III Disputed Claims and Disputed Taylor Claims without the need to obtain approval from the Bankruptcy Court, and any agreement entered into by Liquidating SRC with respect to the Allowance of any Disputed Claim (other than Disputed Class I Claims, Class III Claims, and Taylor Claims) shall be conclusive evidence and a final determination of the Allowance of such Claim.  From and after the Effective Date, the Secured Creditor Trust shall have the exclusive authority to compromise, resolve and Allow any Class I Disputed Claims without the need to obtain approval from the Bankruptcy Court, and any agreement entered into by the Secured Creditor Trust with respect to the Allowance of any Class I Disputed Claims shall be conclusive evidence and a final determination of the Allowance of such Claim.  Class III Claims other than the Class III Claim granted pursuant to the DIP Financing Order shall be disallowed on the Effective Date without the need for further order of the Bankruptcy Court or action by either the Second Lien Agent or the Secured Creditor Trust. From and after the Effective Date, Taylor shall have the exclusive authority to compromise, resolve and Allow any Disputed Taylor Claims without the need to obtain approval from the Bankruptcy Court, and any agreement entered into by Taylor with respect to the Allowance of any Taylor Claims shall be conclusive evidence and a final determination of the Allowance of such Claim.

4.3.

No Distribution Pending Allowance of Disputed Claims.  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any portion of a Claim is a Disputed Claim, no payment or Distribution provided hereunder shall be made on account of such Claim unless and until such Disputed Claim becomes Allowed.  To the extent that all or a portion of a Disputed Claim becomes a Disallowed Claim, the Holder of such Claim shall not receive any Distribution on account of the portion of such Claim that is a Disallowed Claim and any property withheld pending the resolution of such Claim shall be reallocated pro rata to the Holders of Allowed Claims in



19







the same Class.

4.4.

Distributions After Allowance of Disputed Claims.  To the extent that a Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, Distributions (if any) shall be made to the Holder of such Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, Confirmation Order, Asset Purchase Agreement, and/or the applicable Trust Agreement.  

4.5.

Distribution of Taylor Utility Deposits.  On the Effective Date the Debtors’ obligations under the Utilities Order with respect to the Taylor Utility Deposits and the utility providers related thereto shall be deemed satisfied, the Debtors shall have no other obligations under the Utilities Order, and the Taylor Utility Deposits shall be deemed released from the Adequate Assurance Deposit Account to Liquidating SRC and shall be transferred to Taylor.  As of the Effective Date, Liquidating SRC shall not have any obligations under the Utilities Order with respect to the Taylor Utility Deposits or the utility providers related thereto.

4.6

Other Utility Deposits.  On the Effective Date, the Debtors’ obligations under the Utilities Order with respect to the Other Utility Deposits and the utility providers related thereto shall be deemed satisfied, the Debtors shall have no other obligations under the Utilities Order, and the Other Utility Deposits shall be deemed released from the Adequate Assurance Deposit Account to Liquidating SRC and shall be transferred to the Secured Creditor Trust.

4.7

Estimation of Claims.  Liquidating SRC (or the GUC Trustee, with respect to Class IV Claims) may, at any time, request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any contingent or unliquidated Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code regardless of whether the Debtors or Liquidating SRC previously objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection.  The Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim, including during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection.  In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim, such estimated amount will constitute either the Allowed amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on such Claim, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court.  If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on such Claim, Liquidating SRC (or the GUC Trustee, with respect to Class IV Claims) may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate allowance of such Claim.  All of the aforementioned Claims objection, estimation and resolution procedures are cumulative and not exclusive of one another.  Claims may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

5.2.

Rejection Claims.  Any Rejection Claims that are not timely Filed pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Plan, shall be forever disallowed and barred.  If one or more Rejection Claims are timely Filed pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Plan, Liquidating SRC may File an objection to any Rejection Claim on or prior to the Claim Objection Deadline.

22







Claim who is entitled to vote on the Plan and does not, by the Voting Deadline both (i) vote to reject the Plan or abstain from voting on the Plan and (ii) make the Third Party Opt-Out Election on its properly completed and returned Ballot, shall be deemed on behalf of itself and its estate, affiliates, heirs, executors, administrators, successors, assigns, managers, business managers, accountants, attorneys, representatives, consultants, agents, and any and all other Persons or parties claiming under or through them, to release, discharge, and acquit the Silver Point Entities; DLJ Investment Partners, L.P.; DLJ Investment Partners II, L.P., DLJIP II Holdings, L.P.; Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch; Credit Suisse Loan Funding LLC; Sargas CLO II Ltd.; WG Horizons CLO I; any other lender under either or both of the First Lien Term Loan Facility or the Second Lien Term Loan Facility; any Person who has served as a director of Workflow Holdings, LLC, WorkflowOne, LLC, or their subsidiaries (collectively, “WorkflowOne”); Anthony DiNello, Frederic Brace, and Robert Peiser; and each of their respective current and former heirs, executors, administrators, predecessors, successors, assigns, subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, divisions, partners, members, interest holders (direct and indirect), officers, directors, employees (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any current or former employee of the Silver Point Entities in his or her capacity as a board member of the Debtors or WorkflowOne), agents, shareholders, managers, accountants, attorneys, representatives, consultants, other professionals, insurers, and any and all other Persons, corporations, or other Entities acting under the direction, control, or on behalf of any of the foregoing, in each case solely in their capacity as such (each of the foregoing, a “Released Party”) from any and all claims, counterclaims, disputes, liabilities, suits, demands, defenses, liens, actions, administrative proceedings, and Causes of Action of every kind and nature, or for any type or form of relief, and from all damages, injuries, losses, contributions, indemnities, compensation, obligations, costs, attorneys’ fees, and expenses, of whatever kind and character, whether past or present, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent, asserted or unasserted, accrued or unaccrued, liquidated or unliquidated, whether in law or equity, whether sounding in tort or contract, whether arising under federal or state statutory or common law, or any other applicable international, foreign, or domestic law, rule, statute, regulation, treaty, right, duty, or requirement, and claims of every kind, nature, and character whatsoever, including avoidance claims, Causes of Action, and rights of recovery arising under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code and any and all claims based on avoidance powers under any applicable non-bankruptcy law that any such releasing party ever had or claimed to have, or has or claims to have presently or at any future date, against any Released Party arising from or related in any way whatsoever to the Debtors or WorkflowOne.  For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to make the Third Party Opt Out Election shall not prevent any Holder of a Claim from receiving a Distribution under the Plan.  Nothing in this Section 7.4 shall be deemed to release, waive, or otherwise impact any of the GUC Trust Causes of Action or any other Causes of Action against the defendants named in the GUC Trust Adversary Complaint or any other defendants that are not Released Parties for claims related to or based on the facts and circumstances alleged in the GUC Trust Adversary Complaint.

7.5.

FINAL APPROVAL AND PAYMENT OF PROFESSIONAL FEES

9.1.

Procedures For Payment of Professional Fee Claims.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan dealing with Unclassified Claims, any Person asserting a Professional Fee Claim shall, no later than the Effective Date, provide the Debtors with a summary of the compensation for services rendered and expense reimbursement that such Person will seek to be allowed, on a final basis, as a Professional Fee Claim (which summary shall include, without limitation, a good faith estimate of accrued but unbilled fees and expenses through the Confirmation Date) (for each Person, its “Professional Fee Summary”), and shall, no later than 30 days after the Effective Date, File a final application for allowance of compensation for services rendered and reimbursement of expenses incurred through the Confirmation Date.  Objections to any final application for allowance of compensation for services rendered and reimbursement of expenses incurred through the Confirmation Date shall be due 30 days after such application is Filed.  To the extent that such a Person’s final fee application is Allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, the requesting Person shall receive: (i) payment of Cash from the Professional Fee Claims Escrow Account in an amount equal to the amount Allowed by the Bankruptcy Court less all interim compensation paid to such Professional during the Chapter 11 Cases, such payment to be made before the later of (a) the Effective Date or (b) three Business Days after the order Allowing such Person’s final fee application, or (ii) payment on such other terms as may be mutually agreed upon by the Holder of the Professional Fee Claim and Liquidating SRC (but in no event shall the payment exceed the amount Allowed by the Bankruptcy Court less all interim compensation paid to such Professional during the Chapter 11 Cases).  All Professional Fee Claims for services rendered after the Confirmation Date shall be paid by the Debtors or Liquidating SRC, as applicable, upon receipt of an invoice therefor, or on such other terms as Liquidating SRC and the Professional may agree, without the requirement of any order of the Bankruptcy Court.

9.2.

Professional Fee Claims Escrow Account.  On the Effective Date, the Debtors shall establish and fund the Professional Fee Claims Escrow Account in an amount sufficient to pay, in full, any then unpaid fees and expenses (including, without limitation, any estimated,



28







accrued but unbilled fees and expenses through the Confirmation Date set forth in the Professional Fee Summary) owed to any Person asserting a Professional Fee Claim.  Amounts held in the Professional Fee Claims Escrow Account shall not constitute property of the Debtors or the Liquidating Debtors and shall only be distributed in accordance with this Section 9.2.  Each Person asserting a Professional Fee Claim shall be entitled to a maximum amount from the Professional Fee Claims Escrow Amount equal to the amount of the Professional Fee Summary submitted by such Person less all interim compensation paid to such Person during the Chapter 11 Cases.  In the event there is a remaining balance in the Professional Fee Claims Escrow Account following payment of all Allowed Professional Fee Claims in accordance with Section 9.1 of the Plan, such remaining amount, if any, shall be paid into the Wind-Down Funds Account.  In the event that there are insufficient funds in the Professional Fee Claims Escrow Account to pay any Allowed Professional Fee Claims in accordance with the terms of the Professional Fee Claims Escrow Account, the unpaid portion of such Allowed Professional Fee Claims shall be paid by Liquidating SRC.
