(b)           Impairment and Voting:  Existing Common Equity Interests are Impaired.  Therefore, holders of Existing Common Equity Interests are entitled to vote to accept or reject this Plan.

ARTICLE V                                                                         MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION.

5.1          Substantive Consolidation.

Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, each Debtor shall continue to maintain its separate corporate existence after the Effective Date for all purposes other than the treatment of Claims under this Plan.  Except as expressly provided in this Plan (or as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court), on the Effective Date: (a) all assets (and all proceeds thereof) and liabilities of the Debtors shall be deemed merged or treated as though they were merged into and with the assets and liabilities of each other, (b) no distributions shall be made under this Plan on account of Intercompany Claims among the Debtors and all such Claims shall be eliminated and extinguished, (c) all guaranties of the Debtors of the obligations of any other Debtor shall be deemed eliminated and extinguished so that any Claim against any Debtor, and any guarantee thereof executed by any Debtor and any joint or several liability of any of the Debtors shall be

24

deemed to be one obligation of the consolidated Debtors, (d) each and every Claim filed or to be filed in any of the Chapter 11 Cases shall be treated filed against the consolidated Debtors and shall be treated one Claim against and obligation of the consolidated Debtors, and (e) for purposes of determining the availability of the right of set off under section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors shall be treated as one entity so that, subject to the other provisions of section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code, debts due to any of the Debtors may be set off against the debts of any of the other Debtors.  Such substantive consolidation shall not (other than for purposes relating to this Plan) affect the legal and corporate structures of the Reorganized Debtors.  Moreover, such substantive consolidation shall not affect any subordination provisions set forth in any agreement relating to any Claim or Interest or the ability of the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trust Trustee, as applicable, to seek to have any Claim or Interest subordinated in accordance with any contractual rights or equitable principles.  Notwithstanding anything in this section to the contrary, all post-Effective Date fees payable to the United States Trustee pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930, if any, shall be calculated on a separate legal entity basis for each Reorganized Debtor.

All MPT Leases will be assumed on the Effective Date and, in accordance with section 365(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, all Cure Amounts due and owing to MPT under the MPT Leases shall be paid to MPT on the Effective Date.  All other executory contracts and unexpired lease that are not listed on the Schedule of Rejected Contracts will be assumed on the Effective Date, and all Cure Amounts for such assumed executory contracts and unexpired leases shall be satisfied in accordance with section 9.2 of this Plan.

5.4          Tax Receivable Agreement.

The Confirmation Order shall contain a finding that (a) the TRA is not an executory contract under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) the Deerfield Parties and their affiliates are not direct or indirect successors to PubCo.  Upon the Effective Date, the TRA shall be deemed of no further force and effect as a result of the dissolution of PubCo.  The rights of the Debtors and the Deerfield Parties to enforce any subordination rights under the TRA shall be assigned to the Litigation Trust.  Any TRA Claim resulting from the Restructuring Transactions shall be treated as a TRA Claim under Class 7(a), and no TRA Claim shall be enforceable against the Reorganized Debtors or their affiliates.  A TRA Claim shall be treated as a Defined Unsecured Claim only in the event that the Bankruptcy Court determines that such Claim is (a) Allowed as a general unsecured claim that is not entitled to priority under the Bankruptcy Code (b) not subject to contractual or statutory subordination pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (c) not properly categorized as a Class 7 Subordinated Claim.

25

In the event that the Bankruptcy Court determines that the TRA is an executory contract or that any claims arising from or relating to the TRA are entitled to priority treatment under the Bankruptcy Code, the TRA shall be rejected, nunc pro tunc as of the Effective Date.  Any resulting rejection damages shall be treated as a Class 7(a) TRA Claim.

5.5          Plan Funding.

Plan Distributions to be made by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors shall be paid from the proceeds of the DIP Facility, the Debtors’ Cash on hand, or the assets of the Reorganized Debtors.  Plan Distributions to be made by the Litigation Trust shall be paid from the Litigation Trust Assets.

5.6          Cancellation of Existing Securities and Agreements.

Except for the purpose of evidencing a right to a distribution under this Plan and except as otherwise set forth in this Plan, or in any Plan Document, on the Effective Date, all agreements, instruments, and other documents evidencing any prepetition Claim or Interest and any rights of any holder in respect thereof shall be deemed cancelled and of no force or effect.  The holders of or parties to such cancelled instruments, Securities, and other documentation will have no rights arising from or related to such instruments, Securities, or other documentation or the cancellation thereof, except the rights provided for pursuant to this Plan.

5.7          Cancellation of Certain Existing Security Interests.

Unless the holder of an Allowed Other Secured Claim agrees to accept the return of applicable Collateral in satisfaction of such Allowed Other Secured Claim, upon the full payment or other satisfaction of an Allowed Other Secured Claim, or promptly thereafter, the holder of such Allowed Other Secured Claim shall deliver to the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, any Collateral or other property of a Debtor held by such holder, together with any termination statements, instruments of satisfaction, or releases of all security interests with respect to its Allowed Other Secured Claim that may be reasonably required to terminate any related financing statements, mortgages, mechanics’ or other statutory Liens, or lis pendens, or similar interests or documents.

5.8          Officers and Boards of Directors.

(a)           The composition of the boards of directors of each Reorganized Debtor shall be disclosed in the Plan Supplement.

(b)           Except to the extent that a member of the board of directors of a Debtor continues to serve as a director of such Reorganized Debtor on the Effective Date, the members of the board of directors of each Debtor prior to the Effective Date, in their capacities as such, shall be deemed to have resigned or shall otherwise cease to be a director of the applicable Debtor on the Effective Date.  Commencing on the Effective Date, each of the directors of each of the Reorganized Debtors shall serve pursuant to the terms of the applicable organizational documents of such Reorganized Debtor and may be replaced or removed in accordance with such organizational documents.

(b)           On the Effective Date, the duties and responsibilities of the Patient Care Ombudsman shall be terminated, and the Patient Care Ombudsman shall be discharged from his duties under section 333 of the Bankruptcy Code and shall not be required to file any further reports or perform any additional duties; provided, that, after the Effective Date, the Patient Care Ombudsman and any Professional Person retained by the Patient Care Ombudsman shall have the right to file and prosecute Fee Claims.

The Reorganized Debtors will be capitalized by the Deerfield Parties through equity investments or, if determined by the Deerfield Parties in their sole discretion, debt investments.

5.11        Authorization, Issuance, and Delivery of New Equity Interests.

On the Effective Date, the Debtors are authorized to issue or cause to be issued and shall issue the New Equity Interests in the Designated Debtors for distribution in accordance with the terms of this Plan without the need for any further corporate or shareholder action.  All other Debtors, including PubCo, shall be dissolved on the Effective Date.

5.12        Corporate Reorganization.

On the Effective Date and without the need for any further corporate action or approval of any board of directors, management, or shareholders of any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, the certificates and all other documents representing intercompany interests in the Debtors shall be deemed to be in full force and effect unless the Debtors designate through the Plan Supplement that a particular Debtor will not become a Reorganized Debtor and shall be deemed dissolved as of the Effective Date.

5.13        Restructuring Transactions.

(a)           On the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may take all actions consistent with this Plan as may be necessary or appropriate to effect any transaction described in, approved by, contemplated by, or necessary to effectuate the Restructuring Transactions under and in connection with this Plan.

27

(b)           On or after the Effective Date, without prejudice to the rights of any party to a contract or other agreement with any Reorganized Debtor, each Reorganized Debtor may, in its sole discretion, take such action as permitted by applicable law, and such Reorganized Debtor’s organizational documents, as such Reorganized Debtor may determine is reasonable and appropriate, including, without limitation, causing:  (i) a Reorganized Debtor to be merged into another Reorganized Debtor or an affiliate of a Reorganized Debtor; (ii) a Reorganized Debtor to be dissolved; (iii) the legal name of a Reorganized Debtor to be changed; or (iv) the closure of a Reorganized Debtor’s Chapter 11 Case on the Effective Date or any time thereafter.

5.14        [Intentionally Omitted]

5.15        Settlement Among Deerfield And Eligible Holders.

This Plan shall constitute a settlement under Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code between the Eligible Holders and the Deerfield Parties in complete and final resolution of all claims such Eligible Holders may have against the Released Parties (the “9019 Settlement”).  Alleged claims which are being settled include, without limitation, claims and causes of action with respect to the Deerfield Parties’ alleged loan-to-own strategy including its co-opting and controlling the Debtors’ boards and management, imposing a restrictive DIP loan, and requiring assumption or rejection of certain agreements for its own ultimate benefit. These claims posed a significant risk to plan confirmation and of increased administrative estate costs. These claims also could have impaired the Deerfield Parties’ ability to foreclose and assert any deficiency claim and potentially exposed the Deerfield Parties to affirmative damages by equity holders.  The Deerfield Parties dispute that any such claims are or would be valid or have any merit, and the Deerfield Parties would contest them.  The 9019 Settlement resolves such claims including as such were the subject of the Equity Committee’s Trustee/Exclusivity Motion

28

(as defined in the Disclosure Statement).  In consideration for agreeing to the 9019 Settlement, the Eligible Holders shall receive their Pro Rata share of the Deerfield Parties’ recovery on account of the Deerfield Deficiency Claims (the “9019 Settlement Consideration”) as set forth in the following table:

(All amounts are in millions.)

Only Eligible Holders that agree to release the Released Parties and receive the 9019 Settlement Consideration shall be bound by the settlement.  As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, the Litigation Trust Trustee shall notify Eligible Holders of the option to opt out of the 9019 Settlement on no less than thirty (30) calendar days’ notice.  Any Eligible Holder that does not opt out of the 9019 Settlement shall be bound by the 9019 Settlement.

The amount of the 9019 Settlement Consideration shall not be adjusted if any Eligible Holders opt out of the 9019 Settlement.  If any Eligible Holders opt out of the 9019 Settlement, the portion of the 9019 Settlement Consideration that would have otherwise been distributed to such Eligible Holders will instead be distributed on a Pro Rata basis among those Eligible Holders that did not opt out of the 9019 Settlement.

The obligation to remit the 9019 Settlement Consideration to Eligible Holders that do not opt out of the 9019 Settlement in accordance with this section shall be an obligation of any successor or assignee of the Deerfield Deficiency Claims, and the Deerfield Parties agree that they will not transfer, assign, or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Deerfield Deficiency Claims to any party unless such party agrees to remit the 9019 Settlement Consideration consistent with this section.

29

5.16        True-Up Of Other Defined Unsecured Claims From 9019 Settlement Consideration.

Defined Unsecured Claims will be entitled to a “true-up” payment from the 9019 Settlement Consideration solely to the extent that inclusion of TRA Claims in Class 5 General Unsecured Claims dilutes the distribution received by the Defined Unsecured Claims.  The Litigation Trust Trustee will not distribute any of the 9019 Settlement Consideration to Eligible Holders that do not opt out of the 9019 Settlement without the consent of the Creditors’ Committee representative on the Litigation Trust Oversight Board, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.  In the event that the Litigation Trust Trustee or the other members of the Litigation Trust Oversight Board determine in their reasonable discretion that the representative of the Creditors’ Committee unreasonably withheld its consent, the Litigation Trust Trustee may seek an order from the Bankruptcy Court directing the Litigation Trust Trustee to make such a distribution.

ARTICLE VI                                                                    LITIGATION TRUST

6.1          Litigation Trust Agreement.

The Litigation Trust shall be governed and administered in accordance with the Litigation Trust Agreement and this Plan, including, but not limited to (a) distributions to Litigation Trust Beneficiaries, (b) authority and appointment of the Litigation Trust Trustee, (c) authority and appointment of the Litigation Trust Oversight Board, (d) compensation of the Litigation Trust Trustee, (e) vesting of Litigation Trust Assets, (f) payment of costs and expenses of the Litigation Trust, and (g) repayment of the Litigation Trust Initial Funding, all of which shall be consistent with the terms of this Plan and the Litigation Trust Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts required for sub-clauses (d) or (f) shall come, first, from the Litigation Trust Initial Funding and, then, to the extent the Litigation Trust Initial Funding is exhausted, from other Litigation Trust Assets.

6.2          Tax Treatment.

It is intended that the Litigation Trust be classified for federal income tax purposes as a “liquidating trust” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(d) and as a “grantor trust” within the meaning of Sections 671 through 679 of the Internal Revenue Code, with no objective to continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business.  In furtherance of this objective, the Litigation Trust Trustee shall, in its business judgment, make continuing best efforts not to unduly prolong the duration of the Litigation Trust.  All assets held by the Litigation Trust on the Effective Date shall be deemed for federal income tax purposes (a) to have been distributed (subject to any obligations relating to such assets) by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors on a Pro Rata share basis to the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries (other than the assets allocable to any disputed ownership fund) in partial satisfaction of their Allowed Claims (with each such Litigation Trust Beneficiary receiving an undivided interest in such assets in accordance with its economic interests in such assets) and (b) immediately thereafter contributed by such Litigation Trust Beneficiaries to the Litigation Trust in exchange for their Litigation Trust Interests.  The Debtors and all Litigation Trust Beneficiaries shall use the valuation of the assets transferred to the Litigation Trust as established by the Litigation Trust

30

Trustee for all federal income tax purposes.  The Litigation Trust Beneficiaries will be treated as the deemed owners of the Litigation Trust (other than the assets allocable to any disputed ownership fund) consistent with their economic interests therein, for all federal income tax purposes.  The Litigation Trust will be responsible for filing information on behalf of the Litigation Trust as grantor trust pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.671-4(a).

Subject to contrary definitive guidance from the Internal Revenue Service or a court of competent jurisdiction (including the receipt by the Litigation Trust Trustee of a private letter ruling if the Litigation Trust Trustee so requests or the receipt of an adverse determination by the Internal Revenue Service upon audit if not contested by the Litigation Trust Trustee), the Litigation Trust Trustee may timely elect to treat any disputed claims reserve as a “disputed ownership fund” governed by Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-9 and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, report consistently with the foregoing for state and local income tax purposes.  All parties (including the Litigation Trust Trustee, the Debtors, and the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries) shall report for U.S. federal, state, and local income tax purposes consistently with the foregoing.

The Litigation Trust Trustee may withhold and pay to the appropriate taxing authority all amounts required to be withheld pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code or any provision of any foreign, state, or local tax law with respect to any payment or distribution to the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries.  All such amounts withheld and paid to the appropriate taxing authority shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Litigation Trust Beneficiaries for all purposes of the Litigation Trust Agreement.  The Litigation Trust Trustee shall be authorized to collect such tax information from the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries (including, without limitation, social security numbers or other tax identification numbers) as it, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to effectuate this Plan, the Confirmation Order, and the Litigation Trust Agreement.  In order to receive distributions under this Plan, all Litigation Trust Beneficiaries will need to identify themselves to the Litigation Trust Trustee and provide tax information and the specifics of their holdings, to the extent the Litigation Trust Trustee deems appropriate (including completing the appropriate Form W-8 or Form W-9, as applicable).  This identification requirement may, in certain cases, extend to holders who hold their securities in street name.  The Litigation Trust Trustee may refuse to make a distribution to any Litigation Trust Beneficiary that fails to furnish such information in a timely fashion, until such information is delivered; provided, however, that, upon the delivery of such information by a Litigation Trust Beneficiary, the Litigation Trust Trustee shall make such distribution to which the Litigation Trust Beneficiary is entitled, without interest; and, provided, further, that, if the Litigation Trust Trustee fails to withhold in respect of amounts received or distributable with respect to any such holder and the Litigation Trust Trustee is later held liable for the amount of such withholding, such holder shall reimburse the Litigation Trust Trustee for such liability.

6.3          Litigation Trust Assets.

On the Effective Date, or on such other date as is set forth in the Litigation Trust Agreement, pursuant to section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors shall transfer their interests in the Litigation Trust Assets (and shall be deemed to transfer) to the Litigation Trust, free and clear of all Claims, Liens, charges, encumbrances, rights, and interests, without the need for any Person to take any further action or obtain any approval, and the Litigation Trust

31

shall be authorized as the representative of the Estates to pursue such Litigation Trust Causes of Action; and each holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest shall contribute to the Litigation Trust their interests in the Litigation Trust Causes of Action, and the Litigation Trust shall be authorized as the representative of the Estates to pursue such Litigation Trust Causes of Action.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Causes of Action assigned to the Litigation Trust shall only include those Causes of Action that, as of immediately prior to the Effective Date, are either property of any Debtors’ estates or Causes of Action that the Debtors’ estates are entitled to bring on behalf of the Estates’ stakeholders pursuant to section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code.

6.4          Litigation Trust Causes of Action.

(a)           Litigation Trust Causes of Action shall exclude any action released or settled pursuant to this Plan or an order of the Bankruptcy Court.

(b)           The Litigation Trust Trustee or any successors may pursue such litigation claims in accordance with the best interests of the Litigation Trust or any successor holding such rights of action.  At this time, the Creditors’ Committee, in its capacity as a fiduciary for all of the Estates, believes that the Debtors may assert causes of action against their current and former officers and directors, the Sterling Parties, and various third party service providers and that such claims may provide a significant recovery to the Litigation Trust.  No Person may rely on the absence of a specific reference in this Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure Statement to any Litigation Trust Cause of Action against them as any indication that the Litigation Trust will not pursue any and all available Litigation Trust Causes of Action against them.  The Litigation Trust expressly reserves all rights to prosecute any and all Litigation Trust Causes of Action against any Person, except as otherwise provided in this Plan.  The Debtors’ estates, through the Litigation Trust, shall specifically reserve all rights to prosecute causes of action against directors, officers, employees, and other insiders of the Debtors (including, but not limited to, PubCo), the Sterling Parties and their affiliates, and various third party service providers, including, but not limited to, causes of action based on breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, breach of contract, tortious interference, malpractice, and fraud.  Unless any Litigation Trust Causes of Action against a Person are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in this Plan or an order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Litigation Trust expressly reserves all Litigation Trust 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 Litigation Trust Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of, confirmation or consummation of this Plan.

(c)           Prior to October 19, 2018, unless otherwise agreed by the Litigation Trust Trustee and the Deerfield Parties, the Litigation Trust Trustee shall not commence any avoidance actions under section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code against vendors of the Reorganized Debtors without the express consent of the Deerfield Parties; provided, that, prior to such time, the Litigation Trust Trustee may make demand upon such vendors.

32

6.5          Claims Resolution.

Prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors and, following the Effective Date, the Litigation Trust Trustee shall be responsible for all aspects of the Claims and Interests resolution process related to Claims and Interests to be satisfied from the Litigation Trust Assets and all costs associated with such resolution process.  The Reorganized Debtors shall cooperate with the Litigation Trust Trustee and provide access to and preserve all books and records which shall be necessary for the reconciliation of such Claims and Interests at no cost to the Litigation Trust.  Except as to any preference claims which may be asserted under section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code against non-insiders and any Causes of Action which may be asserted against McKesson Corporation and PST Services, Inc. (and their affiliates), the Litigation Trust Trustee shall not (a) settle or compromise any Cause of Action or (b) initiate, settle, or compromise any objection to Claims asserted by any counterparty to the TRA, without the consent of the Equity Committee’s representative on the Litigation Trust Oversight Board, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.  In the event that the Litigation Trust Trustee or the other members of the Litigation Trust Oversight Board determine in their reasonable discretion that the representative of the Equity Committee unreasonably withheld its consent, the Litigation Trust Trustee may seek an order from the Bankruptcy Court directing the Litigation Trust Trustee to take such actions.

6.6          Transition Services and Preservation of Documents.

(a)           To the extent reasonably necessary to permit the Litigation Trust Trustee to pursue claims and to object to and resolve Disputed Claims, the Reorganized Debtors and the Litigation Trust Trustee shall enter into a Transition Services Agreement to permit such access without disruption of the Reorganized Debtors’ business.

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan or Confirmation Order, nothing in this Plan or Confirmation Order shall affect the obligations of the Reorganized Debtors, the Litigation Trust Trustee, and/or any transferee or custodian to maintain all books and records that relate to the Causes of Action or any subpoena, document preservation letter, or other investigative request by any governmental regulatory agency or any obligation by such parties to preserve patient records (and to maintain the confidentiality of such documents) in accordance with any applicable law.

(c)           Until the entry of a Final Order or settlement with respect to all defendants now or hereafter named in the Securities Class Actions (as defined in the Disclosure Statement), the Reorganized Debtors, the Litigation Trust Trustee, and any transferee or custodian of the Debtors’ books, records, documents, files, electronic data (in whatever format, including native format), or any tangible object or other item of evidence potentially relevant to the Securities Class Actions, wherever stored (collectively, the “Potentially Relevant Books and Records”), shall preserve and maintain the Potentially Relevant Books and Records as though they were the subject of a continuing request for production of documents and/or a subpoena, and shall not destroy, abandon, transfer, or otherwise render unavailable such Potentially Relevant Books and Records.

33

6.7          Indemnification and Exculpation.

The Litigation Trust Trustee, the Litigation Trust Trustee’s agents and professionals, and the members of the Litigation Trust Oversight Board shall not be liable for actions taken or omitted in its capacity as, or on behalf of, the Litigation Trust, except those acts arising out of its or their own willful misconduct or gross negligence, and each shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement for fees and expenses in defending any and all of its actions or inactions in its capacity as, or on behalf of, the Litigation Trust, except for any actions or inactions involving willful misconduct or gross negligence.  The Litigation Trust Trustee shall obtain insurance coverage for the benefit of the Litigation Trust Trustee and the Litigation Trust Oversight Board, and any indemnification claim of the Litigation Trust Trustee (and the other parties entitled to indemnification under this subsection) shall be satisfied in accordance with the Litigation Trust Agreement.  The Litigation Trust Trustee and the members of the Litigation Trust Oversight Board shall be entitled to rely, in good faith, on the advice of their retained professionals.

6.8          Preservation of Privilege and Defenses.

No action taken by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors in connection with this Plan, shall be (or be deemed to be) a waiver of any privilege or immunity of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, including any attorney-client privilege or work-product privilege attaching to any documents or communications (whether written or oral).  The Confirmation Order shall provide that, notwithstanding the Reorganized Debtors’ providing any privileged information to the Litigation Trust Trustee, the Litigation Trust, or any party or person associated with the Litigation Trust, such privileged information shall be without waiver in recognition of the joint and/or successorship interest in prosecuting any Claim or Cause of Action on behalf of the Estates and shall remain privileged.  The Confirmation Order shall provide that the Litigation Trust shall have no right to waive the attorney-client privilege, work product, or other protection of any information received from the Reorganized Debtors.  The Debtors (or the Reorganized Debtors) retain the right to waive their own privileges.  The Litigation Trust shall have no right to any privileged information or analysis of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors.

6.9          No Bonding of Litigation Trust Claims.

There shall be no bonding of the Litigation Trust Trustee.

ARTICLE VII                                                               DISTRIBUTIONS.

7.1          Distributions Generally.

The Disbursing Agent shall make all Plan Distributions to the appropriate holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests as applicable and in accordance with the terms of this Plan.

Unless otherwise provided in this Plan, any distributions and deliveries to be made under this Plan shall be made on the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is practicable.

34

7.3          Distribution Record Date.

As of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the various lists of holders of Claims and Interests in each Class, as maintained by the Debtors or their agents, shall be deemed closed, and there shall be no further changes in the record holders of any Claims or Interests after the Distribution Record Date.  Neither the Reorganized Debtors nor the Disbursing Agent shall have any obligation to recognize any transfer of a Claim or Interest occurring after the close of business on the Distribution Record Date.  In addition, with respect to payment of any Cure Amounts or disputes over any Cure Amounts, neither the Reorganized Debtors nor the Disbursing Agent shall have any obligation to recognize or deal with any party other than the non-Debtor party to the applicable executory contract or unexpired lease, even if such non-Debtor party has sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred its Claim for a Cure Amount.

7.4          Disbursing Agent.

Other than distributions by the Litigation Trust Trustee, all distributions under this Plan shall be made by the Disbursing Agent on and after the Effective Date as provided herein.  The Disbursing Agent shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties.  The Reorganized Debtors shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Disbursing Agent (if other than the Reorganized Debtors) with the amounts of Claims and Interests and the identities and addresses of holders of Claims and Interests, in each case, as set forth in the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ books and records.  The Reorganized Debtors shall cooperate in good faith with the applicable Disbursing Agent (if other than the Reorganized Debtors) to comply with the reporting and withholding requirements outlined in section 7.145 of this Plan.

7.5          Delivery of Distributions.

The Disbursing Agent will issue or cause to be issued, the applicable consideration under this Plan and, subject to Bankruptcy Rule 9010, will make all distributions to any holder of an Allowed Claim as and when required by this Plan at:  (a) the address of such holder on the books and records of the Debtors or their agents; or (b) at the address in any written notice of address change delivered to the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent, including any addresses included on any transfers of Claim filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001.  In the event that any distribution to any holder is returned as undeliverable, no distribution or payment to such holder shall be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent has been notified of the then-current address of such holder, at which time, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable, such distribution shall be made to such holder without interest.

7.6          Unclaimed Property.

One hundred eighty (180) days after a distribution is returned as undeliverable, such distributions payable from the Litigation Trust or the Litigation Trust Assets on account of such Claim or Interest shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and shall revert to the respective Class of such Claim or Interest.  The Disbursing Agent shall have no obligation to attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed Claim or an Allowed Interest other than by reviewing the Debtors’ books and records and the Bankruptcy Court’s

35

filings.  One hundred eighty (180) days after a distribution payable by the Reorganized Debtors is returned as undeliverable, such undeliverable distributions shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors.

7.10        No Distribution in Excess of Amount of Allowed Claim or Interest.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, no holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest shall receive, on account of such Allowed Claim or Interest, Plan Distributions in excess of the Allowed amount of such Claim or Interest.

7.11        Allocation of Distributions between Principal and Interest.

Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, to the extent that any Allowed Claim or Interest entitled to a distribution under this Plan is comprised of indebtedness and accrued but unpaid interest thereon, such distribution shall be allocated first to the principal amount (as determined for federal income tax purposes) of the Claim or Interest and then to accrued but unpaid interest.

7.12        Exemption from Securities Laws.

The issuance of and the distribution under this Plan of the New Equity Interests in the Designated Debtors shall be exempt from registration under the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.  These Securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act or other federal securities laws pursuant to the exemption provided by section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act, unless the holder is an “underwriter” with respect to such Securities, as that term is defined in section 1145(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.  In addition, such section 1145 exempt Securities generally may be resold without registration under state securities laws pursuant to various exemptions provided by the respective laws of the several states.

36

7.13        Setoffs and Recoupments.

Each Reorganized Debtor or the Litigation Trust Trustee, as applicable, or such entity’s designee, may, pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable nonbankruptcy law, offset or recoup against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to this Plan on account of such Allowed Claim any and all claims, rights, and Causes of Action that a Reorganized Debtor or the Litigation Trust Trustee, as applicable, or their successors may hold against the holder of such Allowed Claim after the Effective Date to the extent such setoff or recoupment is either (a) agreed in amount with the holder of the Allowed Claim or (b) otherwise adjudicated by the Bankruptcy Court or another court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that neither the failure to effect a setoff or recoupment nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder will constitute a waiver or release by a Reorganized Debtor or the Litigation Trust Trustee, as applicable, or their successor of any claims, rights, or Causes of Action that may exist against such holder.

7.14        Rights and Powers of Disbursing Agent.

(a)           Powers of Disbursing Agent.  The Disbursing Agent shall be empowered to:  (i) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments, and other documents necessary to perform its duties under this Plan; (ii) make all applicable distributions or payments provided for under this Plan; (iii) employ professionals to represent it with respect to its responsibilities; and (iv) exercise such other powers (A) as may be vested in the Disbursing Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court (including any Final Order issued after the Effective Date) or pursuant to this Plan or (B) as deemed by the Disbursing Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions of this Plan.

(b)           Expenses Incurred on or After the Effective Date.  Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court and subject to any written agreement, the amount of any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent on or after the Effective Date (including, without limitation, taxes) and any reasonable compensation and expense reimbursement Claims (including, without limitation, for reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees and expenses) made by the Disbursing Agent shall be paid in Cash from the proceeds of the Litigation Trust.

7.15        Withholding and Reporting Requirements.

In connection with this Plan and all instruments issued in connection therewith and distributed thereon, the Disbursing Agent and any other distributing party shall comply with all applicable withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, or local taxing authority, and all Plan Distributions under this Plan shall be subject to any such withholding or reporting requirements.  In the case of a non-Cash Plan Distribution that is subject to withholding, the distributing party may request a holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest to complete and return a Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable, to each such holder.  If such Form is requested and not submitted to the distributing party within ten (10) days of the request, the distributing party may, in its discretion, either (a) withhold an appropriate portion of such distributed property and sell such withheld property to generate Cash necessary to pay over the withholding tax, or (b) require the intended recipient of such distribution to provide the

37

withholding agent with an amount of Cash sufficient to satisfy such withholding tax as a condition to receiving such distribution.  If such Form is requested and submitted to the distributing party within ten (10) days of the request, the distributing party may withhold an appropriate portion of such distributed property and sell such withheld property to generate Cash necessary to pay over the withholding tax; provided that, the distributing party shall first notify the intended recipient of such contemplated sale and offer the intended recipient the opportunity to provide sufficient Cash to satisfy such withholding tax in lieu of such sale.  The distributing party shall have the right, but not the obligation, not to make a Plan Distribution until its withholding obligation is satisfied pursuant to the preceding sentences.  If an intended recipient of a non-Cash Plan Distribution is required to provide or has agreed to provide the withholding agent with the Cash necessary to satisfy the withholding tax pursuant to this section and such person fails to comply before the date that is one year after the request is made, the amount of such Plan Distribution shall irrevocably revert to the applicable Reorganized Debtor, and any Claim or Interest in respect of such Plan Distribution shall be discharged and forever barred from assertion against such Reorganized Debtor or its respective property.  Any amounts withheld pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been distributed to and received by the applicable recipient for all purposes of this Plan.  The distributing party may require a holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest to complete and return a Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable, to each such holder.

Notwithstanding the above, each holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest that is to receive a Plan Distribution under this Plan shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed on such holder by any governmental unit, including income, withholding, and other tax obligations, on account of such Plan Distribution.

ARTICLE VIII                                                          PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CLAIMS.

8.1          Disputed Claims Process.

The Reorganized Debtors or, as described in section 6.5 of this Plan, the Litigation Trust Trustee, shall be entitled to file objections to all Claims that are otherwise not Allowed Claims under this Plan or otherwise.  Any objections to Claims shall be served and filed on or before the later of (a) one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Date or (b) such later date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court upon any request by the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trust Trustee, as applicable, which is filed prior to the expiration of any deadline set forth herein.

8.2          Estimation of Claims.

The Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trust Trustee, as applicable, may, at any time, request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Contingent Claim or Disputed Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, regardless of whether an objection was previously filed with the Bankruptcy Court with respect to such Claim, or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim, including, without limitation, during the pendency of any appeal relating to such objection.  In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any Contingent Claim or Disputed Claim, the amount so estimated shall constitute either the Allowed amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on such

38

Claim, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court.  If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on the amount of such Claim, the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trust Trustee, as applicable, may pursue supplementary proceedings to object to the allowance of such Claim.  The aforementioned objection, estimation, and resolution procedures are intended to be cumulative and rather than procedures that are exclusive of the others.

8.3          Claim Resolution Procedures Cumulative.

All of the objection, estimation, and resolution procedures in this Plan are intended to be cumulative and not exclusive of one another.  Claims may be estimated and subsequently settled, compromised, withdrawn, or resolved in accordance with this Plan by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

8.4          No Distributions Pending Allowance.

If an objection, motion to estimate, or other challenge to a Claim is filed, no payment or distribution provided under this Plan shall be made on account of such Claim unless and until (and only to the extent that) such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

8.5          Distributions after Allowance.

To the extent that a Disputed Claim ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim, distributions (if any) shall be made to the holder of such Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Plan.  As soon as practicable after the date on which the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing any Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order, the Disbursing Agent shall provide to the holder of such Claim the distribution (if any) to which such holder is entitled under this Plan as of the Effective Date, without any interest to be paid on account of such Claim, unless required by the Bankruptcy Code.

ARTICLE IX                                                                   EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES.

9.1          General Treatment.

As of and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date and the payment of any applicable Cure Amount, all executory contracts and unexpired leases shall be deemed assumed, unless such contract or lease (a) was previously assumed or rejected by the Debtors, pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (b) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms or by agreement of the parties thereto, or (c) is specifically designated as a contract or lease to be rejected on the Schedule of Rejected Contracts.  As set forth in section 5.3 of this Plan, the MPT Leases will be assumed on the Effective Date.  Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of the assumptions or rejections provided for in this Plan pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Each executory contract and unexpired lease assumed pursuant to this Plan shall vest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as modified by the provisions of this Plan, any Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption, or applicable law.

39

9.2          Determination of Cure Disputes and Deemed Consent.

Any monetary amounts by which any executory contract or unexpired lease to be assumed hereunder is in default, as well as any nonmonetary defaults, shall be satisfied, to the extent required under section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, upon assumption thereof.  The Schedule of Cure Amounts shall set forth the proposed Cure Amount, if any, of each executory contract or unexpired lease to be assumed hereunder.  If any executory contract or unexpired lease is not included in the Schedule of Cure Amounts, the proposed Cure Amount for such executory contract or unexpired lease shall be deemed to be zero dollars ($0).

If any counterparty to an executory contract or unexpired lease disputes (a) any Cure Amount, (b) the ability of the Debtors to provide adequate assurance of future performance (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed, (c) whether a nonmonetary default is required to be cured, or (d) any other matter pertaining to assumption, such counterparty must file an objection with the Bankruptcy Court within fourteen (14) days after the filing of the Schedule of Cure Amounts.  Such disputes shall be adjudicated by the Bankruptcy Court prior to the assumption of such executory contracts and unexpired leases becoming effective; provided that the Debtors may reject any executory contract or unexpired lease not later than thirty (30) days after the entry of a Final Order resolving any such dispute.  Any counterparty to an executory contract or unexpired lease that fails to object timely to the notice of the proposed assumption and assignment of such executory contract or unexpired lease or the relevant Cure Amount within fourteen (14) days after the filing thereof shall be deemed to have assented to such assumption and/or Cure Amount (and that no nonmonetary defaults exist) and shall be forever barred, estopped, and enjoined from challenging the validity of such assumption or the amount of such Cure Amount thereafter.

9.3          Rejection Damages Claims.

Any counterparty to a contract or lease that is identified on the Schedule of Rejected Contracts or is otherwise rejected by the Debtors must file and serve a proof of Claim on the applicable Debtor that is party to the contract or lease to be rejected no later than thirty (30) days after the later of (a) the Confirmation Date or (b) the effective date of rejection of such executory contract or unexpired lease.  Any counterparty that fails to assert such a Claim in a timely manner shall be forever barred, estopped, and enjoined from asserting such Claim against the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trust.

9.4          Insurance Policies.

All insurance policies to which any Debtor is a party as of the Effective Date shall be deemed to be and treated as executory contracts and shall be assumed by the applicable Debtors or Reorganized Debtors and shall continue in full force and effect thereafter in accordance with their respective terms.  All other insurance policies shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trust, as applicable.

40

9.5                               Reservation of Rights.

(a)                                 Neither the exclusion nor the inclusion by the Debtors of any contract or lease on any exhibit, schedule, or other annex to this Plan or in the Plan Supplement, nor anything contained in this Plan, will constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is or is not an executory contract or unexpired lease or that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors or their respective affiliates has any liability thereunder.

(b)                                 Except as explicitly provided in this Plan, nothing herein shall waive, excuse, limit, diminish, or otherwise alter any of the defenses, claims, Causes of Action, or other rights of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors under any executory or non-executory contract or unexpired or expired lease.

(c)                                  Nothing in this Plan will increase, augment, or add to any of the duties, obligations, responsibilities, or liabilities of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, under any executory or non-executory contract or unexpired or expired lease.

(d)                                 If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of its assumption under this Plan, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have thirty (30) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.

ARTICLE X                                                                        CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE OCCURRENCE OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE.

10.1                        Conditions Precedent to the Effective Date.

The Effective Date shall not occur unless all of the following conditions precedent have been satisfied:

(a)                                 the Plan Supplement, including the Plan Documents, has been filed;

(b)                                 the Plan Documents contain terms and conditions consistent in all material respects with this Plan;

(e)                                  all governmental and third-party approvals and consents, including Bankruptcy Court approval, necessary in connection with the transactions provided for in this Plan have been obtained, are not subject to unfulfilled conditions, and are in full force and effect, and all applicable waiting periods have expired without any action having been taken by any competent authority that would restrain, prevent, or otherwise impose materially adverse conditions on such transactions.

41

10.2                        Waiver of Conditions Precedent.

11.11                 Subordinated Claims.

The allowance, classification, and treatment of all Allowed Claims and Interests and the respective distributions and treatments thereof under this Plan take into account and conform to the relative priority and rights of the Claims and Interest in each Class in connection with any contractual, legal, and equitable subordination rights relating thereto, whether arising under general principles of equitable subordination, sections 510(a), 510(b), or 510(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise.  Pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Debtors and the Litigation Trust Trustee, as applicable, reserve the right to reclassify any Allowed Claim or Interest in accordance with any contractual, legal, or equitable subordination relating thereto.

11.12                 Retention of Causes of Action and Reservation of Rights.

Except as otherwise provided herein, including, without limitation, sections 11.5, 11.6, 11.7, 11.8, and 11.9, nothing contained in this Plan or the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to be a waiver or relinquishment of any rights, claims, Causes of Action, rights of setoff or recoupment, or other legal or equitable defenses that the Debtors had immediately prior to the Effective Date on behalf of the Estates or of themselves in accordance with any provision of the

47

Bankruptcy Code or any applicable nonbankruptcy law, including, but not limited to, rights, claims, Causes of Action, rights of setoff, offset, recoupment, or other legal or equitable defenses against any holder of Existing Equity Interests that arise on account of such holders’ objection to, or support of, and objection to this Plan.  The Reorganized Debtors shall have, retain, reserve, and be entitled to assert all such claims, Causes of Action, rights of setoff or recoupment, and other legal or equitable defenses as fully as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced, and all of the Debtors’ legal and equitable rights in respect of any Unimpaired Claim may be asserted after the Confirmation Date and Effective Date to the same extent as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced.

11.13                 Ipso Facto and Similar Provisions Ineffective.

Any term of any prepetition policy, prepetition contract, or other prepetition obligation applicable to a Debtor shall be void and of no further force or effect with respect to any Debtor to the extent that such policy, contract, or other obligation is conditioned on, creates an obligation of the Debtor as a result of, or gives rise to a right of any Person based on any of the following:  (a) the insolvency or financial condition of a Debtor on or before the Effective Date; (b) the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases; (c) the confirmation or consummation of this Plan, including any change of control that will occur as a result of such consummation; or (d) the Restructuring.

11.14                 Claims Against Directors and Officers.

After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall not terminate or otherwise reduce the coverage under any directors’ and officers’ insurance policies (including any “tail policy”) in effect as of the Petition Date, and all members, managers, directors, and officers of the Debtors who served in such capacity at any time prior to the Effective Date will be entitled to the full benefits of any such policy for the full term of such policy regardless of whether such members, managers, directors, and/or officers remain in such positions after the Effective Date.  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, no claim that would be covered by any such directors’ and officers’ insurance policies is being released by this Plan, the Plan Supplement, the Confirmation Order, or otherwise.

11.15                 Confidentiality of Information Related to Patient Care Ombudsman.

Except as otherwise order by the Bankruptcy Court, no person or entity may seek discovery in any form, including but not limited to, by motion, subpoena, notice, of deposition or request or demand for production of documents, from the Patient Care Ombudsman or his agents, professionals, employees, other representatives, designees, or assigns with respect to matters arising from or relating in any way to the performance of the duties of the Patient Care Ombudsman in the Chapter 11 Cases, including, but not limited to, pleadings, reports, or other writings filed by the Patient Care Ombudsman in or in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases.  Nothing herein shall, in any way, limit or otherwise affect the rights and obligations of the Patient Care Ombudsman under any order of the Bankruptcy Court or under any confidentiality agreements, if any, between the Patient Care Ombudsman and any other person or entity or shall, in any way, limit or otherwise affect the Patient Care Ombudsman’s obligation, under section 333(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law, to maintain patient information,

48

including patient records, as confidential, and no such information shall be released by the Patient Care Ombudsman without further order of the Bankruptcy Court.  The Patient Care Ombudsman and any Professional Person retained by the Patient Care Ombudsman shall retain the right to apply for further compensation pursuant to section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code if they are required to respond to discovery or become a party to litigation, and parties in interest shall retain the right to object to any such application or applications.

11.16                 Governmental Release Limitation.

Nothing in the Confirmation Order or the Plan shall effect a release of any claim by the United States Government or any of its agencies or any state and local authority whatsoever, including without limitation any claim arising under the Internal Revenue Code, the environmental laws, or any criminal laws of the United States or any state and local authority against any party or Person, nor shall anything in the Confirmation Order or the Plan enjoin the United States or any state or local authority from bringing any claim, suit, action, or other proceedings against any party or Person for any liability of such persons whatever, including without limitation any claim, suit or action arising under the Internal Revenue Code, the environmental laws, or any criminal laws of the United States or any state and local authority against such persons, nor shall anything in the Confirmation Order or the Plan exculpate any party or Person from any liability to the United States Government or any of its agencies or any state and local authority whatsoever, including any liabilities arising under the Internal Revenue Code, the environmental laws, or any criminal laws of the United States or any state and local authority against any party or Person.
