INTRODUCTION

Capstone Green Energy Corporation (“Capstone”) and its Debtor subsidiaries in the above-captioned Chapter 11 Cases jointly propose this Plan.  Although proposed jointly for administrative purposes, the Plan constitutes a separate Plan for each Debtor for the resolution of outstanding claims against and interests in each Debtor pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code.  Each Debtor is a proponent of the Plan within the meaning of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The classifications of claims and interests set forth in Article III shall be deemed to apply separately with respect to each Plan proposed by each Debtor, as applicable.  The Plan contemplates no substantive consolidation of any of the Debtors.  Reference is made to the Disclosure Statement for a discussion of the Debtors’ history, business, properties and operations, projections, risk factors, and a summary and analysis of this Plan and certain related matters.

​

Bankruptcy Rule 9006(a) applies in computing any period of time prescribed or allowed herein.

Except to the extent the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules apply, and subject to the provisions of any contract, lease, instrument, release, indenture, or other agreement or document entered into expressly in connection herewith, the rights and obligations arising hereunder shall be

​

governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflict-of-laws principles.

All references in the Plan to monetary figures refer to currency of the United States of America, unless otherwise expressly provided.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan to the contrary, references in the Plan to the Debtors or to the Reorganized Debtors mean the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, to the extent the context requires.

In accordance with section 1123(a)(l) of the Bankruptcy Code, Administrative Claims, Professional Claims, and Priority Tax Claims have not been classified and thus are excluded from the Classes of Claims set forth in Article III.

Unless otherwise agreed to by the holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim and the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, each holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim (other than holders of Professional Claims and Claims for fees and expenses pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930) will receive in full and final satisfaction of its Administrative Claim an amount of Cash equal to the amount of such Allowed Administrative Claim at one of the following times, as applicable: (a) on the Effective Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter; (b) if the Administrative Claim is not Allowed as of the Effective Date, then no later than thirty (30) days after the date on which an order Allowing such Administrative Claim becomes a Final Order, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter; or (c) if the Allowed Administrative Claim is based on liabilities incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of their business after the Petition Date, then in accordance with the terms and conditions of the particular transaction giving rise to such Allowed Administrative Claims, without any further action by the holders of such Allowed Administrative Claims.

All requests for payment of Professional Claims for services rendered and reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to the Confirmation Date must be filed no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, and any holder of a Professional Claim that does not file and serve such application by such date shall be forever barred from asserting such Claim against the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, or their respective properties, and such Claims shall be deemed discharged as of the Effective Date.  The Bankruptcy Court shall determine the Allowed amounts of such Professional Claims after notice and a hearing in accordance with the procedures established by the Bankruptcy Code, provided that objections to any Professional Claim must be filed and served

​

on the Reorganized Debtors and counsel to the Reorganized Debtors no later than twenty-eight (28) days after the filing of such request for payment of Professional Claims (unless otherwise agreed by the party requesting compensation of a Professional Claim).  Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary shall pay Professional Claims in Cash in the amount the Court Allows.  From and after the Confirmation Date, any requirement that Professionals comply with sections 327 through 331 and 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code in seeking retention or compensation for services rendered after such date shall terminate, and the Reorganized Debtors may employ and pay any Professional in the ordinary course of business without any further notice to, or action, order, or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court.

Each holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim due and payable on or before the Effective Date shall receive on the Effective Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, from the respective Debtor liable for such Allowed Priority Tax Claim, payment in Cash in an amount equal to the amount of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim.  To the extent any Allowed Priority Tax Claim is not due and owing on the Effective Date, such Claim shall be paid in full in Cash in accordance with the terms of any agreement between the Debtors and the holder of such Claim, or as may be due and payable under applicable non-bankruptcy law, or in the ordinary course of business.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of, and in exchange for release of all Allowed DIP Claims, on the Effective Date, each holder of an Allowed DIP Claim shall receive its Pro Rata share of: (i) the DIP Claims Equitization Percentage of Reorganized PrivateCo Equity issued on the Effective Date in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of $10 million of the DIP Pre-Petition Roll Up Notes (plus any accrued unpaid interest thereon); (ii) principal under the New Debt Facility in an amount equal to, and in exchange for, one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of the DIP New Money Notes outstanding on the Effective Date (including accrued interest in respect of the DIP New Money Notes, the DIP Pre-Petition Roll Up Notes and the DIP Pre-Funding Notes) on a dollar-for-dollar basis; (iii) principal under the New Debt Facility in an amount equal to, and in exchange for, $5 million of the principal amount of the DIP Pre-Petition Roll Up Notes (plus any accrued unpaid interest thereon) outstanding on the Effective Date on a dollar-for-dollar basis; (iv) principal under the New Debt Facility in an amount equal to, and in exchange for, $3 million of the principal amount of the DIP Pre-Funding Roll Up Notes (plus any accrued unpaid interest thereon) outstanding on the Effective Date on a dollar-for-dollar basis; (v) indirect ownership of the New Subsidiary Preferred Units issued to Reorganized PrivateCo; and/or (vi) such other treatment as agreed by the Debtors and the applicable holder of DIP Claims.

The fees and expenses of the Pre-Petition Secured Party and the DIP Purchaser, and their respective professionals, shall be paid in connection with this Plan or any applicable orders entered by the Bankruptcy Court, on the Effective Date, or, with the consent of the Pre-Petition Secured Party and the DIP Purchaser, as applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.  Nothing herein shall require the professionals for the Pre-Petition Secured Party or the DIP Purchaser to

​

file applications with, or otherwise seek approval of, the Bankruptcy Court as a condition to the payment of such fees and expenses.

Except for the Claims addressed in Article II, all Claims and Interests are classified in the Classes set forth below in accordance with section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code.  A Claim or Interest is classified in a particular Class only to the extent that the Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of that Class and is classified in other Classes to the extent that any portion of the Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of such other Classes.  A Claim or Interest is also classified in a particular Class for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan only to the extent that such Claim or Interest is an Allowed Claim or Interest in that Class and has not been paid, released or otherwise satisfied prior to the Effective Date.

Below is a chart assigning each Class a number for purposes of identifying each separate Class.

​

This Plan is a joint plan but constitutes a separate Plan for each Debtor.  Except to the extent that a holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest, as applicable, agrees to a less favorable treatment, such holder shall receive under the Plan the treatment described below in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of and in exchange for such holder’s Allowed Claim against or Interest in the Debtors, as applicable.  Unless otherwise indicated, the holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest, as applicable, shall receive such treatment on the Effective Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter.

​

​

​

​

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, nothing under the Plan shall affect the Debtors’ or the Reorganized Debtors’ rights regarding any Unimpaired Claim, including all rights regarding legal and equitable defenses to or setoffs or recoupments against any such Unimpaired Claim.

​

Unless otherwise set forth in the Plan, pursuant to section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the classification, distributions, releases, and other benefits provided under the Plan, on the Effective Date, the provisions of the Plan shall constitute a good-faith compromise and settlement of all Claims and Interests.

On the Effective Date and in accordance with Section 6.3(a) hereof, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, the Pre-Petition Secured Party, and any other Entity party to the Restructuring shall take all actions that are necessary or appropriate to effect the Restructuring, including, but not limited to:

​

Confirmation of the Plan shall constitute (i) approval by the Reorganized PublicCo and/or New Subsidiary of the New Debt Facility, the New Debt Facility Term Sheet, and all transactions contemplated thereby, including the payment of all fees, indemnities, and expenses provided for therein, and (ii) authorization of Reorganized PublicCo and New Subsidiary to enter into, execute and perform under the New Debt Facility Term Sheet and use New Debt Facility Net Proceeds in accordance with the terms of the New Debt Facility Term Sheet.  On the Effective Date, all of the Liens and security interests to be granted as set forth in the New Debt Facility Term Sheet (i) shall be deemed to have been approved by New Subsidiary and its applicable subsidiaries, (ii) shall be legal, binding, and enforceable Liens on, and security interests in, the collateral granted thereunder in accordance with the terms of the New Debt Facility Term Sheet, (iii) shall be deemed perfected upon New Subsidiary’s entry into the New Debt Facility, subject only to such Liens and security interests as may be permitted as set forth in the New Debt Facility Term Sheet, and (iv) shall not be subject to recharacterization or equitable subordination for any purposes whatsoever and shall not constitute preferential transfers or fraudulent conveyances under the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable non-bankruptcy law.

The offering, issuance, distribution, and exercise (as applicable) of any Securities, including, without limitation, the Reorganized PublicCo Equity, the Reorganized PrivateCo Equity, the New Subsidiary Common Units and the New Subsidiary Preferred Units, pursuant to

​

the Plan will be in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or exempt from the registration requirements of section 5 therein pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, section 4(2) of the Securities Act, or any other available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as applicable.  In addition, under section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, if applicable, any Securities issued under the Plan will be freely transferable under the Securities Act by the recipients thereof, subject to: (1) the provisions of section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code relating to the definition of an underwriter in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and compliance with any applicable state or foreign securities laws, if any, and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, if any, applicable at the time of any future transfer of such Securities or instruments; (2) the restrictions, if any, on the transferability of such Securities and instruments; and (3) any other applicable regulatory approval.

The issuance of the Reorganized PublicCo Equity, the Reorganized PrivateCo Equity, the New Subsidiary Common Units and the New Subsidiary Preferred Units and any other options and associated equity awards is authorized without the need for any further corporate action or without any further action by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable.  All such Reorganized PublicCo Equity, the Reorganized PrivateCo Equity, New Subsidiary Common Units and New Subsidiary Preferred Units issued and distributed pursuant to the Plan shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.

The allowance, classification, and treatment of all Claims and Interests under the Plan shall conform to and with the respective contractual, legal, and equitable subordination rights of such Claims and Interests, and the Plan shall recognize and implement any such rights.  Pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, except where otherwise provided herein, the Reorganized Debtors reserve the right, after notice and a hearing, to re-classify any Allowed Claim or Interest in accordance with any contractual, legal, or equitable subordination relating thereto.

Except as otherwise provided herein or in any agreement, instrument or other document incorporated in the Plan, on the Effective Date, all property in each Estate, all Causes of Action, and any property acquired by the Debtors under the Plan, in each case, other than the Retained Assets or Equity Interests cancelled pursuant to the Plan, shall vest in the Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable.  Except as otherwise provided herein or in any agreement, instrument or other document incorporated in the Plan, on the Effective Date, the Retained Assets shall vest in the Reorganized PrivateCo.  On and after the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, each Reorganized Debtor may operate its business and use, acquire, or dispose of property and compromise or settle any Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, Reorganized PrivateCo shall have no liability with respect to, relating to, or in connection with any Claims (including, without limitation, Secured Tax Claims, Other Secured Claims, Other Priority Claims, General Unsecured Claims, Intercompany Claims and Section 510(b) Claims) against, or Interests (including, without limitation, Intercompany Interest and Equity Interests) in, any Debtor.

​

On the Effective Date, except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all notes, instruments, Certificates, including without limitation, all equity grants, warrants, and/or restricted units and any agreement with respect to the foregoing, and other documents evidencing Claims or Interests shall be cancelled and the obligations of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors and the non-Debtors’ Affiliates thereunder or in any way related thereto shall be discharged; provided, however, that notwithstanding Confirmation or the occurrence of the Effective Date, (i) any agreement that governs the rights of the holder of a Claim or Interest shall continue in effect solely for purposes of (a) allowing holders of Claims or Interests to receive distributions under the Plan and (b) allowing and preserving the rights of Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, to make distributions on account of Claims and Interests as provided in Article VI and (ii) the Note Documents shall continue in effect solely for the purposes of allowing the NPA Collateral Agent to (a) receive payment of its fees and expenses as provided under the Note Documents and (b) have the benefit of all the rights and protections for the NPA Collateral Agent under the Note Documents, including, but not limited to, the preservation of any indemnification rights.

Except as otherwise provided herein, on the Effective Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Reorganized Debtors shall issue all Securities, notes, instruments, Certificates, and other documents required to be issued under the Plan.

Each of the matters provided for by the Plan involving the corporate structure of the Debtors or corporate or related actions to be taken by or required of the Reorganized Debtors, whether taken prior to or as of the Effective Date, shall be authorized without the need for any further corporate action or without any further action by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable.  Such actions may include the following: (a) the adoption and filing of charters and bylaws; (b) the appointment of directors and officers; (c) entry into and performance under the New Debt Facility; and (d) the authorization, issuance, and distribution of the Reorganized PublicCo Equity, the Reorganized PrivateCo Equity, the New Subsidiary Common Units and the New Subsidiary Preferred Units pursuant to the Plan.  For the avoidance of doubt, Confirmation of the Plan shall satisfy any shareholder vote requirements in accordance with section 303 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, 8 Del. C. 1953, § 303.

The certificates of incorporation and bylaws of the Reorganized Debtors (and other formation documents relating to limited liability companies, as applicable) shall be amended as may be required to be consistent with the provisions of the Plan and the Bankruptcy Code.  The Reorganized Debtors’ certificates of incorporation shall include, among other things (and only to the extent required by section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code), provisions prohibiting the issuance of non-voting Equity Securities.  After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may amend and restate their certificates of incorporation and other constituent documents as permitted

​

by the laws of their respective jurisdictions of formation and their respective charters and bylaws.  The corporate governance policies of the Reorganized Debtors shall be updated to comply with the requirements of the applicable listing exchange upon the completion of the listing.

On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors and the officers and members of the board of directors thereof, are authorized to and may issue, execute, deliver, file, or record such contracts, Securities, instruments, releases, and other agreements or documents and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement, and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Securities issued pursuant to the Plan in the name of and on behalf of the Reorganized Debtors, without the need for any approvals, authorizations, or consents except for those expressly required under the Plan.

Pursuant to section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfers of property under the Plan, including any transfer of property to Reorganized PublicCo and New Subsidiary, shall not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, stamp act, real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, or other similar tax or governmental assessment, and upon entry of the 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.

From and after the Effective Date, each director or officer of the Reorganized Debtors shall serve pursuant to the terms of their charters and bylaws or other constituent documents, and applicable state corporation law.  Additionally, in accordance with section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, the identities and affiliations of the members of the board of directors of the Reorganized Debtors and any Person proposed to serve as an officer of the Reorganized Debtors shall be disclosed in the Plan Supplement.

Except as otherwise provided herein, on and after the Effective Date, subject to any Final Order, Reorganized PublicCo and/or New Subsidiary, as applicable, shall (a) amend, adopt, assume, and/or honor in the ordinary course of business, any contracts, agreements, policies, programs, and plans, in accordance with their respective terms, for, among other things, compensation, including any incentive plan, health care benefits, disability benefits, deferred compensation benefits, savings, severance benefits, retirement benefits, welfare benefits, workers’ compensation insurance, and accidental death and dismemberment insurance for the directors, officers, and employees of the Debtors who served in such capacity from and after the Petition Date (collectively, the “Employment Obligations”), and (b) honor, in the ordinary course of business, Claims of employees employed as of the Effective Date for accrued vacation time arising prior to the Petition Date and not otherwise paid pursuant to a Bankruptcy Court order, provided that the Reorganized PublicCo and/or New Subsidiary shall not be required to provide cash

​

payments in respect of the value of accrued vacation time due to the Restructuring.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code, from and after the Effective Date, all retiree benefits (as that term is defined in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code), if any, shall continue to be paid in accordance with applicable law. Aside from employees that will remain at Capstone to support the Retained Assets, New Subsidiary shall be the successor to Capstone with respect to the employment of the directors, officers, and employees of the Debtors or relating to any Employment Obligations (as defined in the Plan).  Reorganized PrivateCo shall have no liability with respect to, relating to, or in connection with the Employment Obligations or any Claims against any Debtor.

Unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or by a Final Order, in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Debtors shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue any and all Causes of Action, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, and the Reorganized Debtors’ rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date.  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 Reorganized Debtors will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against them.  The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan.  Unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or Bankruptcy Court order, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve 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.

The Reorganized Debtors reserve and shall retain Causes of Action notwithstanding the rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease during the Chapter 11 Cases or pursuant to the Plan.  In accordance with sections 1123(b)(3) and 1141(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Causes of Action that the Debtors may hold against any Entity shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors.  The Reorganized Debtors, through its authorized agents or representatives, shall retain and may exclusively enforce any and all such Causes of Action.  The Reorganized Debtors shall have the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to determine and to initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any such Causes of Action, or to decline to do any of the foregoing, without the consent or approval of any third party or any further notice to, or action, order or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court.

Subject to entry of the Confirmation Order, and without in any way limiting the payment obligations under any existing engagement letter or any applicable order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases, the reasonable fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and financial advisors’ fees) of the Pre-Petition Secured Party in connection with the Restructuring, including, but not limited to,

​

the reasonable fees and expenses of (i) Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, and (ii) Deloitte Transactions & Business Analytics LLP, will be paid in full in Cash by the Reorganized PublicCo, without further notice to, or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date.

Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, on the Effective Date, the Intercompany Claims shall be reinstated, or discharged and satisfied by contributions, distributions or otherwise, at the option of the Reorganized Debtors; provided, all Intercompany Claims against Capstone shall be either (x) reinstated as claims against Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, or (y) deemed discharged and satisfied on the Effective Date, in either case at the election of Reorganized PublicCo.  In no event shall Reorganized PrivateCo have any liabilities relating to, arising under, or in connection with Intercompany Claims.

​

No Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease shall be assumed by Reorganized PrivateCo unless such Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease is listed as “assumed” by Reorganized PrivateCo in the Plan Supplement.  Except as otherwise provided herein, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease shall be deemed assumed by Capstone and/or the applicable Debtor counterparty (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Reorganized PrivateCo) and assigned to Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, without the need for any further notice to, or action, order, or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court, as of the Effective Date under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless any such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease: (a) is a Retained Contract; (b) is listed on the Rejection Schedule; (c) has been previously assumed or rejected by the Debtors by Final Order or has been assumed or rejected by the Debtors by order of the Bankruptcy Court as of the Effective Date, which order becomes a Final Order after the Effective Date; or (d) is the subject of a motion to assume or reject pending as of the Effective Date.  The assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases hereunder may include the assignment of certain of such contracts to Affiliates.  The Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the above-described assumptions, assignments and rejections.

Except as otherwise provided herein or agreed to by the Debtors with the applicable counterparty, each assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements related thereto, and all rights related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated hereunder.  Modifications, amendments, supplements and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not

​

be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.

Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, shall pay Cures in the ordinary course after the Effective Date.  Any dispute regarding a Cure shall be resolved in the ordinary course in an appropriate non­bankruptcy forum.  Any Cure shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged upon payment by Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, of the Cure.  Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, also may settle any Cure without any further notice to, or action, order or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court.

Any objection to the assumption of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan on grounds other than Cure must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court by the deadline established for filing objections to the Plan.  Any such objection will be scheduled to be heard by the Bankruptcy Court.  Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to timely object to the proposed assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease will be deemed to have consented to such assumption.

If there is a dispute regarding the ability of Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any other matter pertaining to assumption, then payment of Cure shall occur as soon as practicable after entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute, approving such assumption (and, if applicable, assignment), or as may be agreed upon by Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, and the counterparty to the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.  Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, reserves the right either to reject or nullify the assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease within forty-five (45) days after entry of a Final Order resolving an objection to assumption or determining the Cure or any request for adequate assurance of future performance required to assume such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.

Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Cures, Claims, or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time prior to the effective date of assumption.  Any and all Claims based upon Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that have been assumed in the Chapter 11 Cases, including pursuant to the Confirmation Order, shall be deemed disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without the need for any objection thereto or any further notice to, or action, order or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court.

Rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall not constitute a termination of pre-existing obligations owed to the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, under such contract or lease.  In particular, to the extent permissible under applicable non-bankruptcy law, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve and do not waive any

​

right to receive, or any continuing obligation of a counterparty to provide (a) payment to the contracting Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, of outstanding and future amounts owing thereto under or in connection with rejected Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases or (b) maintenance of, or to repair or replace, goods previously purchased by the contracting Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable.

Pursuant to section 502(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, counterparties to Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that are rejected shall have the right to assert Claims, if any, on account of the rejection of such contracts and leases.  All Allowed Claims (excluding the Pre-Petition Secured Claim) arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases shall be classified as Class 5 — General Unsecured Claims against the Debtor(s) counterparty thereto.

Contracts, Intercompany Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by the Debtors and any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by the Debtors may be performed by Reorganized PublicCo and/or New Subsidiary, as applicable, in the ordinary course of business.

Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any contract or lease in the Plan Supplement, nor anything contained in the Plan, shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that the Reorganized Debtors have any liability thereunder.  If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption or rejection, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have forty-five (45) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, a Final Order, or as otherwise agreed to by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (as the case may be) and the holder of the applicable Claim or Interest, on the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, shall make initial distributions under the Plan on account of Claims and Interests Allowed on or before the Effective Date, subject to the Reorganized Debtors’ right to object to Claims and Interests; provided, however, that (a) Allowed Administrative Claims with respect to liabilities incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of business during the Chapter 11 Cases or assumed by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date shall be paid or performed in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms and conditions of any controlling

​

agreements, course of dealing, course of business, or industry practice, (b) Allowed Priority Tax Claims and Allowed Secured Tax Claims shall be paid in accordance with Sections 2.3 and 3.2(a) hereof, respectively.  To the extent any Allowed Priority Tax Claim or Allowed Secured Tax Claim is not due and owing on the Effective Date, such Claim shall be paid in full in Cash in accordance with the terms of any agreement between the Debtors and the holder of such Claim or as may be due and payable under applicable non-bankruptcy law or in the ordinary course of business.  For the avoidance of doubt, distributions to holders of an Allowed Pre-Petition Secured Claim will be made on the Effective Date.

Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan and except as otherwise agreed by the relevant parties, (a) no partial payments and no partial distributions shall be made with respect to a Disputed Claim or Interest until all such disputes in connection with such Disputed Claim or Interest have been resolved by settlement or Final Order, and (b) any Entity that holds both an Allowed Claim or Interest and a Disputed Claim or Interest shall not receive any distribution on the Allowed Claim or Interest unless and until all objections to the Disputed Claim or Interest have been resolved by settlement or Final Order or the Claims or Interests have been Allowed or expunged. Any dividends or other distributions arising from property distributed to holders of Allowed Claims or Interests, as applicable, in a Class and paid to such holders under the Plan shall be paid also, in the applicable amounts, to any holder of a Disputed Claim or Interest, as applicable, in such Class that becomes an Allowed Claim or Interest after the date or dates that such dividends or other distributions were earlier paid to holders of Allowed Claims or Interests in such Class.

On the Effective Date, distributions under the Plan shall be delivered by the Distribution Agent to each holder of such Interests.  The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Pre-Petition Secured Party, the NPA Collateral Agent, and the Distribution Agent, as applicable, shall not incur any liability whatsoever on account of any distributions under the Plan.

For purposes of determining the accrual of dividends or other rights after the Effective Date, Reorganized PublicCo Equity, Reorganized PrivateCo Equity, New Subsidiary Common Units and New Subsidiary Preferred Units issued under the Plan shall be deemed distributed as of the Effective Date regardless of the date on which it is actually issued, dated, authenticated, or distributed.

In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to

​

pay applicable withholding taxes, withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such distributions, or establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable and appropriate.  The Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and other spousal awards, liens, and encumbrances.  All Persons holding Claims shall be required to provide any information necessary to effect information reporting and the withholding of such taxes.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, (a) each holder of an Allowed Claim shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any Governmental Unit, including income, withholding and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution, and (b) no distribution shall be made to or on behalf of such holder pursuant to the Plan unless and until such holder has made arrangements satisfactory to the Reorganized Debtors for the payment and satisfaction of such tax obligations.

Except as otherwise provided in a Bankruptcy Court order, as of the Effective Date, any Claim asserted in currency other than U.S. dollars shall be automatically deemed converted to the equivalent U.S. dollar value using the exchange rate for the applicable currency as published in The Wall Street Journal, National Edition, on the Effective Date.

​

On the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, each holder of a Certificate shall surrender such Certificate to the Distribution Agent.  Such Certificate shall be cancelled solely with respect to the Debtors, and such cancellation shall not alter the obligations or rights of any non-Debtors third parties vis-a-vis one another with respect to such Certificate.  No distribution of property pursuant to the Plan shall be made to or on behalf of any such holder unless and until such Certificate is received by the Distribution Agent or the unavailability of such Certificate is reasonably established to the satisfaction of the Distribution Agent pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.3(f) hereof.  Any holder who fails to surrender or cause to be surrendered such Certificate or fails to execute and deliver an affidavit of loss and indemnity acceptable to the Distribution Agent prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date shall have its Claim or Interest discharged with no further action, be forever barred from asserting any such Claim or Interest against the relevant Entity in the Reorganized Debtors or its property, be deemed to have forfeited all rights and Claims and Interests with respect to such Certificate, and not participate in any distribution under the Plan; furthermore, all property with respect to such forfeited distributions, including any dividends or interest attributable thereto, shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors notwithstanding any federal or state escheat, abandoned or unclaimed property law to the contrary.  Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, this Section 6.3(e) shall not apply to any Claims and Interests reinstated pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

Any holder of Allowed Claims or Interests evidenced by a Certificate that has been lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed shall, in lieu of surrendering such Certificate, deliver to the Distribution Agent an affidavit of loss acceptable to the Distribution Agent setting forth the unavailability of the Certificate and such additional indemnity as may be required reasonably by the Distribution Agent to hold the Distribution Agent harmless from any damages, liabilities, or costs incurred in treating such holder as a holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest.  Upon compliance with this procedure by a holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest evidenced by such a lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Certificate, such holder shall, for all purposes pursuant to the Plan, be deemed to have surrendered such Certificate.

A Claim shall be reduced in full and such Claim shall be disallowed without a Claims objection having to be filed and without any further notice to, or action, order or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court, to the extent that the holder of such Claim receives payment in full on account of such Claim from a party that is not the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors.  To the extent a holder of a Claim receives a distribution on account of such Claim and receives payment from a

​

party that is not the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors on account of such Claim, such holder shall repay, return, or deliver any distribution held by or transferred to the holder to the Reorganized Debtors to the extent the holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount of such Claim as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan.

Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein (including with respect to any Pre-Petition Secured Claim with respect to letters of credit as provided in the definition of Other Secured Claims), the Reorganized Debtors, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (including section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code), applicable non­bankruptcy law, or as may be agreed to by the holder of a Claim, may set off against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of such Allowed Claim (before any distribution is made on account of such Allowed Claim), any Claims, rights, and Causes of Action of any nature that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may hold against the holder of such Allowed Claim, to the extent such Claims, rights, or Causes of Action against such holder have not been otherwise compromised or settled on or prior to the Effective Date (whether pursuant to the Plan or otherwise): provided, however, that neither the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim pursuant to the Plan shall constitute a waiver or release by such Reorganized Debtors of any such Claims, rights, and Causes of Action that such Reorganized Debtors may possess against such holder.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the aggregate consideration paid to holders with respect to their Allowed Claims shall be treated pursuant to the Plan as allocated first to the principal amount of such Allowed Claims (to the extent thereof) and, thereafter, to the interest, if any, accrued through the Effective Date.

All Allowed Claims against the Debtors shall be paid in the ordinary course by Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary.  All Claims shall be asserted against Reorganized PublicCo and/or New Subsidiary, and Claims asserted against Reorganized PrivateCo shall be deemed Claims against Reorganized PublicCo and/or New Subsidiary.  Parties are not required to file Proofs of Claim.  In the event that one or more parties files a Proof of Claim, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve all rights to contest any such Proof of Claim.  Except as otherwise provided herein, if a party files a Proof of Claim and the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, do not determine in their discretion, and without the need for notice to, or action, order or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court, that the Claim subject to such Proof of Claim is Allowed, such Claim shall be Disputed unless Allowed or disallowed by a Final Order or as otherwise set forth in this Article VII. For the avoidance of doubt, on and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may negotiate and settle any Claims, including Claims for which a Proof

​

of Claim has been filed, without further notice to or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the Claims and Noticing Agent or any other party.

Except insofar as a Claim or Interest is Allowed under the Plan, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any other party in interest shall be entitled to object to the Claim or Interest.  Any objections to Claims and Interests shall be served and filed on or before the 120th day after the Effective Date or by such later date as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Reorganized Debtors may prosecute, adjudicate or otherwise resolve Claims and Interests in non-bankruptcy forums after the expiration of such 120-day period.  For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, from and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses such Debtors had immediately prior to the Effective Date with respect to any Disputed Claim or Interest, including the Causes of Action retained pursuant to Section 4.15 hereof.

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or by order of the Bankruptcy Court, post-petition interest shall not accrue or be paid on Claims, and no holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim or right.  Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing, interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Disputed Claim with respect to the period from the Effective Date to the date a final distribution is made on account of such Disputed Claim, if and when such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

All Claims and Interests of any Entity from which property is sought by the Debtors under section 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors allege is a transferee of a transfer that is avoidable under section 522(t), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be disallowed if (a) the Entity, on the one hand, and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, on the other hand, agree, or the Bankruptcy Court has determined by Final Order, that such Entity or transferee is liable to turn over any property or monies under any of the aforementioned sections of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) such Entity or transferee has failed to turn over such property by the date set forth in such agreement or Final Order.

Except as otherwise provided for herein and effective as of the Effective Date: (a) the rights afforded in the Plan and the treatment of all Claims and Interests shall be in exchange for and in complete satisfaction, discharge, and release of all Claims and Interests of any nature whatsoever, including any interest accrued on such Claims from and after the Petition

​

Date, against the Debtors or any of their assets, property, or Estates; (b) the Plan shall bind all holders of Claims and Interests, notwithstanding whether any such holders failed to vote to accept or reject the Plan or voted to reject the Plan; (c) all Claims and Interests shall be satisfied, discharged, and released in full, and the Debtors’ liability with respect thereto shall be extinguished completely, including any liability of the kind specified under section 502(g) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (d) all Entities shall be precluded from asserting against the Debtors, the Debtors’ Estates, the Reorganized Debtors, their successors and assigns, and their assets and properties any other Claims or Interests based upon any documents, instruments, or any act or omission, transaction, or other activity of any kind or nature that occurred prior to the Effective Date.

Pursuant to section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, for good and valuable consideration, on and after the Effective Date, the Released Parties are deemed released and discharged by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and the Estates from any and all Claims, obligations, rights, and liabilities whatsoever, whether for tort, contract, violations of federal or state securities laws, Avoidance Actions, including any derivative Claims, asserted or that could possibly have been asserted directly or indirectly on behalf of the Debtors, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereafter arising, in law, equity, or otherwise, and any and all Causes of Action asserted or that could possibly have been asserted on behalf of the Debtors, that the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Estates, or Affiliates would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether individually or collectively) or on behalf of the holder of any Claim or Interest or other Entity, based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Debtors or its Affiliates, the Chapter 11 Cases, the New Debt Facility, the Restructuring, the distribution, issuance, purchase, sale, or rescission of any Security of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Interest that is treated in the Plan, the business or contractual arrangements between the Debtors and any Released Party, prepetition contracts and agreements with the Debtors (including the NPA), the Transaction Support Agreement, the restructuring of Claims and Interests prior to or in the Chapter 11 Cases, the negotiation, formulation, solicitation, or preparation of the Plan and Disclosure Statement or related agreements, instruments, or other documents, or any other act or omission, transaction, agreement, event, or other occurrence taking place before the Effective Date, other than Claims or liabilities arising out of or related to any contractual or fixed monetary obligation owed to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors; provided that Claims and Causes of Action for fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct shall not be so released.

Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, of the release set forth in this Section 8.2, which includes by reference each of the related provisions and definitions contained herein, and further, shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s finding that such release is: (a) in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Released Parties; (b) a good faith settlement and compromise of the Claims released by this Section 8.2; (c) in the best interests of the Debtors and all holders of Claims and Interests; (d) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (e) given

​

and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (f) a bar to the Debtors asserting any Claim or Cause of Action released by this Section 8.2.

As of the Effective Date, the Releasing Parties shall be deemed to have conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever, released and discharged the Released Parties from any and all Claims, Interests, obligations, rights, liabilities, actions, causes of action, choses in action, suits, debts, damages, dues, sums of money, accounts, reckonings, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, variances, trespasses, damages, judgments, remedies, rights of set-off, third-party claims, subrogation claims, contribution claims, reimbursement claims, indemnity claims, counterclaims, and crossclaims (including all claims and actions against any Entities under the Bankruptcy Code) whatsoever, whether for tort, contract, violations of federal or state securities laws, Avoidance Actions, including any derivative Claims, asserted or that could be asserted on behalf of the Debtors, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereafter arising, in law, equity, or otherwise, that such Entity would have been legally entitled to assert (whether individually or collectively), based on or in any way relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Debtors, the Debtors’ restructuring, the Chapter 11 Cases, the New Debt Facility, the Restructuring, the distribution, issuance, purchase, sale, or rescission of any Security of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Interest that is treated in the Plan, the business or contractual arrangements between the Debtors and any Released Party, prepetition contracts and agreements with the Debtors (including the NPA), the Transaction Support Agreement, the restructuring of Claims and Interests prior to or in the Chapter 11 Cases, the negotiation, formulation, solicitation, or preparation of the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or related agreements, instruments, or other documents, or any other act or omission, transaction, agreement, event, or other occurrence taking place before the Effective Date of the Plan; provided that Claims and Causes of Action for fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct shall not be so released.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the release set forth above does not release any obligations arising on or after the Effective Date of any party under the Plan, or any document, instrument, or agreement executed to implement the Plan.

Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, of the release set forth in this Section 8.3, which includes by reference each of the related provisions and definitions contained herein, and further, shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s finding that such release is: (a) in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Estate, and the Released Parties; (b) a good faith settlement and compromise of the Claims released by this Section 8.3; (c) in the best interests of the Debtors and all holders of Claims and Interests; (d) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (e) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (f) a bar to any Entity granting a release under this Section 8.3 from asserting any Claim or Cause of Action released by this Section 8.3.

​

No Exculpated Party shall have or incur, and each Exculpated Party is hereby released and exculpated from any Exculpated Claim or any obligation, Cause of Action, or liability for any Exculpated Claim; provided, however, that the foregoing “exculpation” shall have no effect on the liability of any Entity that results from any act or omission that is determined in a Final Order to have constituted fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.  The Exculpated Parties have, and upon Confirmation shall be deemed to have, participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to the solicitation of acceptances and rejections of the Plan and the making of distributions pursuant to the Plan and, therefore, are not and shall not be liable at any time for the violation of any applicable, law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or such distributions made pursuant to the Plan.

Except as otherwise provided herein or for obligations issued pursuant hereto, all Entities that have held, hold, or may hold Claims or Interests that have been released pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 hereof, discharged pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof, or are subject to exculpation pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof, are permanently enjoined, from and after the Effective Date, from taking any of the following actions against, as applicable, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Released Parties, or the Exculpated Parties: (a) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests; (b) enforcing, attaching, collecting, or recovering by any manner or means any judgment, award, decree, or order against such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests; (c) creating, perfecting, or enforcing any encumbrance of any kind against such Entities or the property or Estates of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests; (d) asserting any right of setoff, subrogation, or recoupment of any kind against any obligation due from such Entities or against the property or Estates of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests unless such holder has filed a motion requesting the right to perform such setoff on or before the Confirmation Date; and (e) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests released, exculpated, or settled pursuant to the Plan.

In accordance with section 525 of the Bankruptcy Code, and consistent with paragraph 2 of Article VI of the United States Constitution, no Governmental Unit shall discriminate against the Reorganized Debtors or any Entity with which the Reorganized Debtors has been or is associated, solely because the Reorganized Debtors were Debtors under chapter 11, may have been insolvent before the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases (or during the Chapter 11 Cases but before the Debtors were granted a discharge), or has not paid a debt that is dischargeable in the Chapter 11 Cases.

​

On and from the Effective Date, and except as prohibited by applicable law, Reorganized PublicCo shall assume or reinstate, as applicable, all indemnification obligations in place as of the Effective Date (whether in by­laws, certificates of incorporation, board resolutions, contracts, or otherwise) for the current and former directors, officers, managers, employees, attorneys, other professionals, and agents of the Debtors and the respective Affiliates of such current and former directors, officers, managers, and employees.  In no event shall Reorganized PrivateCo have any liabilities relating to, arising under, or in connection with the foregoing indemnification obligations.

Reorganized PublicCo agrees to indemnify Reorganized PrivateCo, its affiliates and its respective officers, partners, directors, trustees, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnitee Agent Party”) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fees, fines, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable and documented expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee Agent Party in any way relating to or arising out of events occurring prior to the Effective Date, including any governmental or regulatory agency fees, fines or penalties or any Claims, including any Section 510(b) Claims, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory, or sole negligence of such Indemnitee Agent Party; provided, Reorganized PublicCo shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fees, fines, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Indemnitee Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order.  The foregoing notwithstanding, (i) any and all taxes resulting from the Restructuring due and owing by Reorganized PrivateCo shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility of Reorganized PrivateCo and shall not be the responsibility of New Subsidiary and/or Reorganized PublicCo or covered by any indemnification provision in this Section 8.7 or otherwise, and (ii) any and all taxes resulting from the Restructuring due and owing by Reorganized PublicCo and New Subsidiary shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility of Reorganized PublicCo and New Subsidiary, as applicable.

Except (a) with respect to the Liens securing the Secured Tax Claims or Other Secured Claims (depending on the treatment of such Claims), or (b) as otherwise provided herein or in any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, all mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests against any property of the Estate shall be fully released and discharged, and all of the right, title, and interest of any holder of such mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors and its successors and assigns.

​

It shall be a condition to the Effective Date that the following conditions shall have been satisfied or waived pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof:

The Debtors may, with the written consent of the Pre-Petition Secured Party and in consultation with the NPA Collateral Agent, waive any of the conditions to the Effective Date set forth in Section 9.1 hereof without any notice to any other parties in interest and without any further notice to, or action, order or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court, and without any formal action other than proceeding to confirm or consummate the Plan.

If prior to Consummation, the Confirmation Order is vacated pursuant to a Final Order, then except as provided in any order of the Bankruptcy Court vacating the Confirmation Order, the Plan will be null and void in all respects, and nothing contained in the Plan or Disclosure Statement shall: (a) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims, Interests or Causes of Action; (b) prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtors or any other Entity; or (c) constitute an admission, acknowledgment, offer, or undertaking of any sort by the Debtors or any other Entity.

​

Effective as of the date hereof, (a) the Debtors reserve the right, in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules, to amend or modify the Plan before the entry of the Confirmation Order, subject to the limitations set forth herein and the Transaction Support Agreement; and (b) after the entry of the Confirmation Order, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may amend or modify the Plan, in accordance with section l127(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, remedy any defect or omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan in such manner as may be necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the Plan, this clause (b) being subject in all cases to the limitations set forth herein and in the Transaction Support Agreement.

Subject to the terms of the Transaction Support Agreement, the Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan before the Confirmation Date and to file subsequent chapter 11 plans.  If the Debtors revoke or withdraw the Plan, or if Confirmation or the Effective Date does not occur, then (a) the Plan will be null and void in all respects; (b) any settlement or compromise embodied in the Plan, assumption or rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases effected by the Plan, and any document or agreement executed pursuant hereto will be null and void in all respects; and (c) nothing contained in the Plan shall (1) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action, (2) prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtors or any other Entity, or (3) constitute an admission, acknowledgement, offer, or undertaking of any sort by the Debtors or any other Entity.

The Debtors request Confirmation of the Plan under section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Impaired Class that does not accept the Plan pursuant to section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Subject to the terms of the Transaction Support Agreement, the Debtors reserve the right to amend the Plan to the extent, if any, that Confirmation pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code requires modification.

Pursuant to sections 105(c) and 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code and notwithstanding the entry of the Confirmation Order and the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction over all matters arising under the Bankruptcy Code or arising in, or related to, the Chapter 11 Cases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, including, among other things, jurisdiction to:

​

​

On or before the Effective Date, the Debtors may file with the Bankruptcy Court such agreements and other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan.  The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and all holders of Claims and Interests receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan and all other parties in interest shall, from time to time, prepare, execute, and deliver any agreements or documents and take any other actions as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions and intent of the Plan.

All fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a) shall be paid for each quarter (including any fraction thereof) until the Chapter 11 Cases is converted, dismissed, or a Final Decree is issued, whichever occurs first.

​

Except as expressly set forth herein, the Plan shall have no force or effect unless the Bankruptcy Court shall enter the Confirmation Order.  None of the filing of the Plan, any statement or provision contained in the Plan, or the taking of any action by the Debtors with respect to the Plan or the Disclosure Statement shall be or shall be deemed to be an admission or waiver of any rights of the Debtors with respect to the holders of Claims or Interests prior to the Effective Date.

Any Class of Claims that does not have a holder of an Allowed Claim or a Claim temporarily Allowed by the Bankruptcy Court as of the date of the Confirmation Hearing shall be deemed eliminated from the Plan for purposes of determining acceptance or rejection of the Plan by such Class pursuant to section l129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The rights, benefits, and obligations of any Entity named or referred to in the Plan shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign, affiliate, officer, director, agent, representative, attorney, beneficiaries, or guardian, if any, of each Entity.

After the Effective Date, any pleading, notice, or other document required by the Plan to be served on or delivered to the Reorganized Debtors shall be served on:

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order, all injunctions or stays in effect in the Chapter 11 Cases (pursuant to sections 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any order of the Bankruptcy Court) and existing on the Confirmation Date (excluding any injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order) shall remain in full force and effect until the Effective Date.  All injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

Except as otherwise indicated, the Plan supersedes all previous and contemporaneous negotiations, promises, covenants, agreements, understandings, and representations on such subjects, all of which have become merged and integrated into the Plan.

If, prior to Confirmation, any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court shall have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, and such term or provision shall then be applicable as altered or interpreted.  Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated by such holding, alteration, or interpretation.  The Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it

​

may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is (a) valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms; (b) integral to the Plan and may not be deleted or modified without the Debtors’ consent; and (c) nonseverable and mutually dependent.
