ARTICLE 1
INTRODUCTION
Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Analytica International, Inc., TEAMM Pharmaceuticals, Inc., AccentRx, Inc., and Accentia Specialty Pharmacy, Inc., as Debtors and Debtors in Possession in the Accentia Bankruptcy Cases, hereby propose the following Plan for the reorganization of the Debtors and the resolution of the outstanding Claims against and Equity Interests in the Debtors pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, and request Confirmation of the Plan pursuant to Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. This Plan shall amend, restate and replace in its entirety the Joint Plan of Reorganization of Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., Analytica International, Inc., TEAMM Pharmaceuticals, Inc., AccentRx, Inc., and Accentia Specialty Pharmacy, Inc. under Chapter 11 of Title 11, United States Code dated as of May 28, 2010 (Docket No. 687). Capitalized terms used in the Plan shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Article 2.1 of the Plan. The Debtors are the proponents of the Plan within the meaning of Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.
In summary, but subject to more specific details provided herein, the Plan provides for the reorganization of the Debtors and the payment in full of all of the Allowed Claims against the Debtors and the retention by the Accentia Stockholders of their Equity Interests in Accentia subject to dilution as provided in the Plan. Although the Debtors Estates are presently being jointly administered for procedural purposes, the Debtors and their Estates have not yet been substantively consolidated. Accordingly, the Plan is really five distinct plans, one for each of the Debtors. The Articles of the Plan generally apply to all of the Debtors, except where otherwise indicated.
Under Section 1125(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, a vote to accept or reject the Plan cannot be solicited from the Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest until such time as the Debtors Disclosure Statement has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court and distributed to Holders of Claims and Equity Interests. The Debtors Disclosure Statement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court in the Accentia Disclosure Statement Approval Order, and has been distributed simultaneously with the Plan to all Holders of Claims and Equity Interests whose votes are being solicited. The Disclosure Statement contains, among other things, (a) a discussion of the Debtors history, businesses, properties, and operations, (b) the Projections for the Debtors future operations, (c) a summary of significant events which have occurred to date in the Bankruptcy Cases, (d) a summary of the means of implementing and funding the Plan, and (e) the procedures for voting on the Plan. Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, no materials, other than the Plan and the accompanying Disclosure Statement, Accentia Disclosure Statement Approval Order, Ballot or Accentia Stockholder Ballot, and Committee Support Letter have been approved by the Debtors or the Bankruptcy Court for use in soliciting acceptances or rejections of the Plan. ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AGAINST AND EQUITY INTERESTS IN THE DEBTORS ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE PLAN ARE ENCOURAGED TO READ THE PLAN AND THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, AND ANY EXHIBITS ATTACHED THERETO, IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE VOTING TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN.
Subject to certain restrictions and requirements set forth in Section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019 and those restrictions on modifications to the Plan set forth in Article 13 of the Plan, the Debtors expressly reserve the right to alter, amend, modify, revoke or withdraw the Plan, one or more times, prior to the Plans substantial consummation.
1
THE PLAN HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ACCENTIA. IN THE OPINION OF THE DEBTORS, THE TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND EQUITY INTERESTS UNDER THE PLAN CONTEMPLATES A GREATER RECOVERY THAN THAT WHICH IS LIKELY TO BE ACHIEVED UNDER OTHER ALTERNATIVES FOR THE REORGANIZATION OR LIQUIDATION OF THE DEBTORS. ACCORDINGLY, THE DEBTORS BELIEVE THAT CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF CREDITORS AND HOLDERS OF EQUITY INTERESTS, AND THE DEBTORS RECOMMEND THAT CREDITORS AND HOLDERS OF EQUITY INTERESTS VOTE TO ACCEPT THE PLAN.
IN ADDITION, THE OFFICIAL COMMITTEE OF UNSECURED CREDITORS OF THE DEBTORS BELIEVES THAT CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF UNSECURED CREDITORS AND RECOMMENDS THAT UNSECURED CREDITORS VOTE TO ACCEPT THE PLAN. UNSECURED CREDITORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO READ THE COMMITTEE SUPPORT LETTER INCLUDED WITH THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT AND THE PLAN.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED, ALL STATEMENTS IN THE PLAN AND IN THE ACCOMPANYING DISCLOSURE STATEMENT CONCERNING THE HISTORY OF THE DEBTORS BUSINESSES, THE PAST OR PRESENT FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE DEBTORS, THE PROJECTIONS FOR THE FUTURE OPERATIONS OF THE DEBTORS, TRANSACTIONS TO WHICH THE DEBTORS WERE OR ARE PARTY, OR THE EFFECT OF CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN ON HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AGAINST AND EQUITY INTERESTS IN THE DEBTORS ARE ATTRIBUTABLE EXCLUSIVELY TO THE DEBTORS AND NOT TO ANY OTHER PARTY.
THE PLAN AND THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REQUIRED TO BE PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR OTHER APPLICABLE NON-BANKRUPTCY LAW. PERSONS OR ENTITIES TRADING IN OR OTHERWISE PURCHASING OR SELLING OR TRANSFERRING SECURITIES OF ACCENTIA BIOPHARMACEUTICALS, INC. OR BIOVEST INTERNATIONAL, INC. SHOULD EVALUATE THE PLAN AND THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IN LIGHT OF THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH THEY WERE PREPARED.

Claims and Equity Interests shall be treated under the Plan in the manner set forth in this Article 5. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, the treatment of, and the consideration to be received by, Holders of Allowed Claims and Holders of Allowed Equity Interests pursuant to the Plan shall be in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, extinguishment and discharge of their respective Allowed Claims (of any nature whatsoever) and Allowed Equity Interests.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Holder of an Allowed Priority Claim may be paid under such other terms as may be agreed upon by both the Holder of such Allowed Priority Claim and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be.

5.3 | Class 2: Secured Claims and Other Claims of Laurus/Valens. |
5.3.1 Class 2 consists of all of the Laurus/Valens Prepetition Claims. Following extensive negotiations, the Debtors, the Biovest Debtors, and Laurus/Valens reached a compromise as to all disputes with respect to the Laurus/Valens Prepetition Claims and all disputes between Laurus/Valens and the Biovest Debtors (the Laurus/Valens Settlement). On April 16, 2010, the Debtors filed the Laurus/Valens Compromise Motion with the Bankruptcy Court, which sets forth the principal terms of the Laurus/Valens Settlement and includes substantially all of the documents to be executed by the Debtors, the Biovest Debtors, Laurus/Valens and certain other parties in order to consummate the Laurus/Valens Settlement (collectively, the Laurus/Valens Settlement Documents). On June 8, 2010, after notice and a hearing, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Laurus/Valens Compromise Order, which approved all of the terms of the Laurus/Valens Settlement. The closing of the Laurus/Valens Settlement (the Closing) for both the Debtors and the Biovest Debtors must occur concurrently and will occur upon the Effective Date of the Plan and the effective date of the Biovest Plan and the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions to Closing set forth in the Accentia Term Loan Agreement and in the Biovest Term Loan Agreement.
5.3.2 The pertinent terms and conditions of the Laurus/Valens Settlement with the Debtors are summarized below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the Laurus/Valens Settlement Documents and, to the extent of any inconsistencies between this summary and the Laurus/Valens Settlement Documents, the Laurus/Valens Settlement Documents shall control. As stated elsewhere in the Plan, the Laurus/Valens Settlement Documents with respect to the Debtors are included in Composite Exhibit 2 attached to the Laurus/Valens Compromise Motion and, thus, are on file with the Bankruptcy Court and available for review. Copies of the Laurus/Valens Settlement Documents may also be obtained upon written request to Bankruptcy Counsel (to the attention of Charles A. Postler, Esquire). Unless otherwise defined in the Plan, capitalized terms used in this Article 5.3.2 shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Laurus/Valens Settlement Documents.
5.3.2.1 Laurus/Valens will have an Allowed Secured Claim against Reorganized Accentia in the amount of $8,800,000.00 (the Laurus/Valens Allowed Secured Claim) in full and final satisfaction of all Secured Claims asserted by Laurus/Valens against Accentia and Analytica in the Laurus/Valens Proofs of Claim (excluding the 2006 Secured Debentures Claims of Laurus/Valens, which shall receive the treatment as described in Article 5.3.2.5 below). The Laurus/Valens Allowed Secured Claim will be evidenced by one or more term
34
notes (the Laurus/Valens Term Notes), which will be executed and delivered by Reorganized Accentia on the Closing Date. The Laurus/Valens Term Notes will contain the following terms: (a) a maturity date of two (2) years following the Closing Date, (b) interest will accrue at the rate of eight and one-half percent (8.50%) per annum, calculated based on a 365 day year, and will be payable at the time of any principal payment or prepayment of principal, (c) a default rate of interest of twelve and one-half percent (12.50%) per annum, (d) the outstanding principal together with all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable in full on the maturity date, (e) Reorganized Accentia may prepay the Laurus/Valens Term Notes, without penalty, at any time, and (f) Reorganized Accentia is required to make mandatory prepayments under the Laurus/Valens Term Notes as follows: (i) on that date which is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, a payment of principal, in Cash, in the amount of $4,400,000.00, less the amount of any prior optional prepayments of principal by Reorganized Accentia and the amount of any mandatory prepayments of principal under subparagraph (ii) below, and (ii) a prepayment equal to thirty percent (30%) of the Net Proceeds (i.e., the gross proceeds received less any investment banking or similar fees and commissions and legal costs and expenses incurred by Reorganized Accentia) of any Capital Raise (excluding (x) the first $1,500,000.00 of Net Proceeds received by Reorganized Accentia after the Closing Date, and (y) cash proceeds received by Reorganized Accentia from the exercise of stock options or stock purchase warrants if the stock option or stock purchase warrant was issued prior to the Closing Date or issued pursuant to the Plan), but only up to the then outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Laurus/Valens Term Notes. Any mandatory prepayment will be applied, pro rata, as a reduction of principal on the then outstanding balance of the Laurus/Valens Term Notes and interest accrued on such paid principal amount through the date of payment.
5.3.2.2 On notice to and with the prior written consent of Laurus/Valens, Reorganized Accentia may convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Laurus/Valens Term Notes into shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock. The number of shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock issuable on a conversion (the Laurus/Valens Conversion Shares) shall be equal to (i) an amount equal to the aggregate portion of the principal and accrued and unpaid interest thereon outstanding under the Laurus/Valens Term Note being converted, divided by (ii) ninety percent (90%) of the average closing price publicly reported for the Reorganized Accentia Common Stock for the ten (10) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of the notice of conversion. The Laurus/Valens Conversion Shares shall be issued pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and shall not have any legend restricting the sale thereof under federal securities laws, but sales of any such shares by Laurus/Valens will be subject to the limitations on the number of shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock that may be sold from time to time contained in Rule 144(e), without regard to whether or not Laurus/Valens is considered an Affiliate of Reorganized Accentia for purposes of Rule 144(e). In addition, the transfer or resale of the Laurus/Valens Conversion Shares by any recipient thereof would not be exempted under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code if such recipient is deemed to be an underwriter (see Article 8.9 of the Plan for a further discussion of the securities law issues relating to underwriters).
35
5.3.2.3 The Laurus/Valens Term Notes will be secured by (a) a first Lien in all of the assets of Reorganized Accentia (including all intellectual property), junior only to the Lien granted to the 2008 Secured Debentures Holders with respect to the 2008 Secured Debentures and to Permitted Liens, and (b) a pledge by Reorganized Accentia to Laurus/Valens of (i) all of its equity interests in Analytica, and (ii) 20,115,818 shares of Biovest Common Stock owned by Accentia.
5.3.2.4 The Laurus/Valens Term Notes will also be secured by all of the assets of Analytica, which will secure a Guaranty of Analytica as to the entire indebtedness under the Laurus/Valens Term Notes (the Analytica Guaranty).
5.3.2.5 Laurus/Valens will have an Allowed Claim against Reorganized Accentia in the amount of $3,347,388.16 with respect to its 2006 Secured Debentures Claims (the Laurus/Valens Allowed Debenture Claim). On the Closing Date, Laurus/Valens will convert the entire amount of the Laurus/Valens Allowed Debenture Claim into shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock (the Laurus/Valens Class 5 Shares) at a conversion rate equal to $2.67 per share of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock, which is the conversion rate set forth in the 2006 Secured Debentures Documents executed by Laurus/Valens (i.e., Laurus/Valens will receive that number of shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock determined by dividing the Laurus/Valens Allowed Debenture Claim by $2.67). The Laurus/Valens Class 5 Shares shall be issued as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date, subject to the procedures followed by the Transfer Agent) pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and shall not have any legend restricting the sale thereof under federal securities laws, but sales of any such shares by Laurus/Valens will be subject to (i) the limitations on the number of shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock that may be sold from time to time contained in Rule 144(e), without regard to whether or not Laurus/Valens is considered an Affiliate of Reorganized Accentia for purposes of Rule 144(e), and (ii) the provisions of Article 9.12. In addition, the transfer or resale of the Laurus/Valens Class 5 Shares by any recipient thereof would not be exempted under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code if such recipient is deemed to be an underwriter (see Article 8.9 of the Plan for a further discussion of the securities law issues relating to underwriters). Laurus/Valens will not receive any Class 5 Warrants under the Plan.
5.3.2.6 Laurus/Valens will have an Allowed Claim against Reorganized Accentia in the amount of $2,624,996.00 with respect to its Convertible Preferred Stock Claims (the Laurus/Valens Allowed Preferred Stock Claim). On the Closing Date, Laurus/Valens will convert the entire amount of the Laurus/Valens Allowed Preferred Stock Claim into shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock (the Laurus/Valens Class 13 Shares) at a conversion rate equal to $2.67 per share of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock, which is the conversion rate set forth in the Convertible Preferred Stock Documents executed by Laurus/Valens (i.e., Laurus/Valens will receive that number of shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock determined by dividing the Laurus/Valens Allowed Preferred Stock Claim by $2.67). The Laurus/Valens Class 13 Shares shall be issued as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date, subject to the procedures followed by the Transfer Agent)
36
pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and shall not have any legend restricting the sale thereof under federal securities laws, but sales of any such shares by Laurus/Valens will be subject to (i) the limitations on the number of shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock that may be sold from time to time contained in Rule 144(e), without regard to whether or not Laurus/Valens is considered an Affiliate of Reorganized Accentia for purposes of Rule 144(e), and (ii) the provisions of Article 9.12. In addition, the transfer or resale of the Laurus/Valens Class 13 Shares by any recipient thereof would not be exempted under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code if such recipient is deemed to be an underwriter (see Article 8.9 of the Plan for a further discussion of the securities law issues relating to underwriters). Laurus/Valens will not receive any Class 13 Warrants under the Plan.
5.3.2.7 All of the Laurus/Valens Warrants will be terminated and cancelled as of the Closing. Laurus/Valens will not have any rejection damages or other Claims against Accentia in connection with the termination and cancellation of the Laurus/Valens Warrants.
5.3.2.8 On the Closing Date, Reorganized Accentia and Biovest will enter into the Accentia Royalty Termination Agreement.
5.3.2.9 Except as to any obligations under the Laurus/Valens Settlement Documents or the Plan, the Debtors and Laurus/Valens and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and attorneys will be deemed to have released each other, as of the Closing Date, from any and all claims of any nature whatsoever. The release provisions are included in the Laurus/Valens Compromise Order.
5.3.2.10 All of the Laurus/Valens Settlement Documents will be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Until the Closing Date, the Bankruptcy Court will have and retain exclusive jurisdiction over the Laurus/Valens Settlement and any disputes arising thereunder. Following the Closing Date, the state and/or federal courts in the State of New York will have jurisdiction over the Laurus/Valens Settlement Documents.
5.3.2.11 On the Closing Date, Laurus/Valens will withdraw the Laurus/Valens Proofs of Claim with prejudice.
5.3.2.12 Effective as of the Closing Date, any and all of the Laurus/Valens Prepetition Loan Documents shall be deemed cancelled and void and of no further force and effect.

5.4 | Class 3: Secured Claims and Other Claims of Southwest Bank. |
5.4.1 Class 3 consists of all of the Southwest Bank Prepetition Claims. The Class 3 Claims of Southwest Bank are secured by a pledge of the Southwest Bank Pledged Shares. Under the Plan, the Class 3 Claims of Southwest Bank will be allowed in the amount of $4,000,000.00 plus Postpetition Interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum (the Southwest Bank Allowed Class 3 Claim). Under the Plan, the following shall occur with respect to the Southwest Bank Allowed Class 3 Claim:

The Class 3 Plan Shares shall be issued as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Date (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following the Effective Date, subject to the procedures followed by the Transfer Agent) pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and shall not have any legend restricting the sale thereof under federal securities laws, but the transfer thereof shall be subject to the provisions of Article 9.12. The transfer or resale of the Class 3 Plan Shares by any recipient thereof would not be exempted under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code if such recipient is deemed to be an underwriter (see Article 8.9 of the Plan for a further discussion of the securities law issues relating to underwriters). At the time of such conversion, Southwest Bank shall release as collateral, and return to Reorganized Accentia, all of the Southwest Bank Pledged Shares. Any Conversion Election under this Article 5.4.1.2 shall be made by Southwest Bank on the Ballot filed with the Bankruptcy Court or in a separate writing delivered to Accentia, in each such case prior to the Voting Deadline. In the event Southwest Bank makes a Conversion Election under this Article 5.4.1.2, the provisions of Articles 5.4.1.1, 5.4.1.3 and 5.4.1.4 shall not be applicable to Southwest Bank.
5.4.1.3 At the option of Southwest Bank, Southwest Bank may elect (in lieu of the treatment described in Article 5.4.1.1 or 5.4.1.2) to convert all of its Southwest Bank Allowed Class 3 Claim into shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock (also, the Class 3 Plan Shares) as described in this Article 5.4.1.3.

The Class 3
38
Convertible Plan Note shall contain the following terms: (a) a maturity date of twenty-four (24) months following the Effective Date, (b) interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Class 3 Convertible Plan Note from time to time (the Class 3 Interest) at a fixed rate of six percent (6%) per annum, calculated based on a 365 day year, (c) on the Effective Date and on each of the following seven (7) quarterly anniversaries of the Effective Date (each, an Automatic Conversion Date), and provided that the Automatic Conversion VWAP Price is at least $1.00 per share, one-eighth (1/8th) of the original principal balance of the Class 3 Convertible Plan Note plus the Class 3 Interest as of the Automatic Conversion Date (the Automatic Conversion Amount) will be automatically converted into shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock (also, the Class 3 Plan Shares) at a conversion rate equal to the Automatic Conversion VWAP Price per share of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock (i.e., Southwest Bank will receive that number of shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock determined by dividing the Automatic Conversion Amount by the Automatic Conversion VWAP Price), (d) if, on any Automatic Conversion Date, the Automatic Conversion VWAP Price is less than $1.00 per share, Southwest Bank may, at its election, either (i) convert the Automatic Conversion Amount into shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock (also, the Class 3 Plan Shares) at a conversion rate equal to $1.00 per share of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock (i.e., Southwest Bank will receive that number of shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock determined by dividing the Automatic Conversion Amount by $1.00), or (ii) liquidate that number of the Southwest Bank Pledged Shares which equals the Automatic Conversion Amount using a conversion rate for the Southwest Bank Pledged Shares equal to the average of the VWAPs (as that term is defined in the Biovest Plan) for the Biovest Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day that is immediately preceding the then applicable Automatic Conversion Date, (e) on each Automatic Conversion Date for which the Automatic Conversion VWAP Price is $1.00 or greater or on which Southwest Bank makes the election described in subparagraph (d) above, the outstanding principal balance of the Class 3 Convertible Plan Note shall be reduced by the Automatic Conversion Amount (excluding the Class 3 Interest), (f) at the time of any conversion under this Article 5.4.1.3, Southwest Bank shall release as collateral, and return to Reorganized Accentia, that number of the Southwest Bank Pledged Shares determined by multiplying the Southwest Bank Pledged Shares by a percentage that is equal to the percentage of the principal balance of the Class 3 Convertible Plan Note then being converted by Southwest Bank (as adjusted to take into account any Southwest Bank Pledged Shares liquidated pursuant to subparagraph (d)(ii) above), provided that no Southwest Bank Pledged Shares shall be released that would cause the loan to collateral value ratio to be less than 150%, and (g) the Class 3 Plan Shares shall be issued as soon as reasonably practicable following the Automatic Conversion Date (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following the Automatic Conversion Date, subject to the procedures followed by the Transfer Agent) pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and shall not have any legend restricting the sale thereof under federal securities laws, but the transfer thereof shall be subject to the provisions of Article 9.12. The transfer or resale of the Class 3 Plan Shares by any recipient thereof would not be exempted under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code if such recipient is deemed to be an underwriter (see Article 8.9 of the Plan for a further discussion of the securities law issues relating to underwriters). Any Conversion Election under this Article 5.4.1.3 shall be made by Southwest Bank on the Ballot filed with the Bankruptcy Court or in
39
a separate writing delivered to Accentia, in each such case prior to the Voting Deadline. In the event Southwest Bank makes a Conversion Election under this Article 5.4.1.3, the provisions of Articles 5.4.1.1 and 5.4.1.2 shall not be applicable to Southwest Bank.
5.4.1.4 The Class 3 Plan Note or the Class 3 Convertible Plan Note shall be secured by a Lien on the Southwest Bank Pledged Shares, to the same extent, validity and priority as existed in favor of Southwest Bank as of the Petition Date. On the Effective Date, Reorganized Accentia shall execute and deliver in favor of Southwest Bank a stock pledge agreement and other customary security documents evidencing such Lien, with such documents to contain substantially the same terms as the Southwest Bank Pledge Agreement. The stock pledge agreement shall contain provisions providing for the liquidation of the Southwest Bank Pledged Shares and the release of the Southwest Bank Pledged Shares as collateral, as each of those events are described in Article 5.4.1.3.
5.4.1.5 As of the Effective Date, without any further action by any party, subject to the Lien to be granted to Southwest Bank in Article 5.4.1.4, the Liens that secure the Class 3 Claims of Southwest Bank shall be deemed to be extinguished, satisfied and released. To the extent that any Liens to secure the Class 3 Claims have been filed or recorded publicly, if requested by Reorganized Accentia, Southwest Bank shall take any commercially reasonable steps that are necessary to cancel, terminate and/or extinguish such Liens.
5.4.1.6 As of the Effective Date, any and all of the Southwest Bank Prepetition Loan Documents shall be deemed cancelled and void and of no further force and effect.
5.4.1.7 Upon information and belief, the Class 3 Claims have been assigned to Dennis Ryll. In such event, Dennis Ryll shall be deemed to be the Holder of the Class 3 Claims and shall receive the treatment described in this Article 5.4.

5.5.1 Class 4 consists of all of the McKesson Prepetition Claims, which Accentia has listed in its Schedules as a Secured Claim in the amount of $3,613,121.00. The Class 4 Claims of McKesson are secured by a pledge of the McKesson Pledged Biovest Shares. Under the Plan, the Class 4 Claims of McKesson will be allowed in an amount equal to the difference between $3,613,121.00 and the value of the McKesson Accentia Shares as of the Effective Date (such value to be determined using the Market Price per share of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock) (the McKesson Allowed Class 4 Claim). Under the Plan, the following shall occur with respect to the McKesson Allowed Class 4 Claim:
5.5.1.1 On the Effective Date, in the event McKesson does not make the Conversion Election described in Article 5.5.1.5, Reorganized Accentia shall execute and deliver in favor of McKesson a promissory note (the Class 4 Plan Note) in an original principal amount equal to the amount of the McKesson Allowed Class 4 Claim. The Class 4
40
Plan Note shall contain the following terms: (a) a maturity date of forty (40) months following the Effective Date, (b) interest will accrue and be payable on the outstanding principal at a fixed rate of five percent (5%) per annum, calculated based on a 365 day year, (c) the outstanding principal together with all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable in full on the maturity date, and (d) Reorganized Accentia may prepay all or any portion of the Class 4 Plan Note, without penalty, at any time.
5.5.1.2 The Class 4 Plan Note shall be secured by a Lien on the McKesson Pledged Biovest Shares, to the same extent, validity and priority as existed in favor of McKesson as of the Petition Date; provided, however, that Reorganized Accentia reserves the right to request that the Bankruptcy Court require McKesson to release as collateral, and return to Reorganized Accentia, that number of the McKesson Pledged Biovest Shares having a value that exceeds the amount of the McKesson Allowed Class 4 Claim. On the Effective Date, Reorganized Accentia shall execute and deliver in favor of McKesson a stock pledge agreement and other customary security documents evidencing such Lien.
5.5.1.3 As of the Effective Date, without any further action by any party, subject to the Lien to be granted to McKesson in Article 5.5.1.2, the Liens that secure the Class 4 Claims of McKesson shall be deemed to be extinguished, satisfied and released. To the extent that any Liens to secure the Class 4 Claims have been filed or recorded publicly, if requested by Reorganized Accentia, McKesson shall take any commercially reasonable steps that are necessary to cancel, terminate and/or extinguish such Liens.
5.5.1.4 As of the Effective Date, any and all of the McKesson Prepetition Loan Documents shall be deemed cancelled and void and of no further force and effect.
5.5.1.5 At the option of McKesson, McKesson may elect (in lieu of the treatment described in Article 5.5.1.1) to convert all of its McKesson Allowed Class 4 Claim into shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock (the Class 4 Plan Shares) at a conversion rate equal to the greater of the Market Price per share of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock or $1.00 per share (i.e., McKesson will receive that number of shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock determined by dividing the McKesson Allowed Class 4 Claim by the greater of the Market Price or $1.00). The Class 4 Plan Shares shall be issued as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Date (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following the Effective Date, subject to the procedures followed by the Transfer Agent) pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and shall not have any legend restricting the sale thereof under federal securities laws, but the transfer thereof shall be subject to the provisions of Article 9.12. The transfer or resale of the Class 4 Plan Shares by any recipient thereof would not be exempted under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code if such recipient is deemed to be an underwriter (see Article 8.9 of the Plan for a further discussion of the securities law issues relating to underwriters). At the time of such conversion, McKesson shall release as collateral, and return to Reorganized Accentia, all of the McKesson Pledged Biovest Shares. Any Conversion Election shall be made by McKesson on the Ballot filed with the Bankruptcy Court or in a separate writing delivered to Accentia, in each such case prior to the Voting Deadline. In the event McKesson makes a Conversion Election, the provisions of Articles 5.5.1.1 and 5.5.1.2 shall not be applicable to McKesson.
41
5.5.1.6 McKesson shall retain ownership of the McKesson Accentia Shares.
Class 4 is Impaired by the Plan. McKesson, as the Holder of the Class 4 Claims, is entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
5.6 | Class 5: Secured Claims and Other Claims of the 2006 Secured Debentures Holders. |
5.6.1 Class 5 consists of all of the 2006 Secured Debentures Claims. The Class 5 Claims of the 2006 Secured Debentures Holders are secured by a Lien on certain shares of Biovest Common Stock owned by Accentia (the Class 5 Pledged Biovest Shares).

Reorganized Accentia shall execute and deliver in favor of the 2008 Secured Debentures Holders a new security agreement and other customary security documents evidencing such Lien.
5.7.1.3 As of the Effective Date, without any further action by any party, subject to the Lien to be granted to each of the 2008 Secured Debentures Holders in Article 5.7.1.2, the Liens that secure the 2008 Secured Debentures Claims shall be deemed to be
44
extinguished, satisfied and released. To the extent that any Liens to secure the 2008 Secured Debentures Claims have been filed or recorded publicly, if requested by Reorganized Accentia, each of the 2008 Secured Debentures Holders shall take any commercially reasonable steps that are necessary to cancel, terminate and/or extinguish such Liens.

To the extent required by the Bankruptcy Court, such Secured Claims shall be separated into subclasses in Class 8 for each Debtor. In the event there is more than one Secured Claim in this Class for a Debtor, such Secured Claims shall also be separated into subclasses in Class 8 for that Debtor. Under the Plan, the following shall occur with respect to the Allowed Class 8 Claims:
5.9.1.1 In the event a Holder of a Class 8 Claim does not make the Conversion Election described in Article 5.9.1.2, such Holder will receive a Distribution, in Cash, in an amount equal to the sum of (a) one hundred percent (100%) of such Holders Allowed Class 8 Claim plus (b) interest accruing at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum on the Allowed Amount of such Class 8 Claim for the period from the Effective Date through and including the Distribution Date.

For purposes of this Article 5.11.2.3, the Allowed Amount of a Class 10 Unsecured Claim from time to time for an Option C Holder shall be hereinafter referred to as the Option C Allowed Claim Amount. On the Determination Date and on each of the following seven (7) quarterly anniversaries of the Determination Date (each, an Automatic Conversion Date), and provided that the Automatic Conversion VWAP Price is at least $1.00 per share, one-eighth ( 1/8th) of the Option C Allowed Claim Amount for an Option C Holder (the Automatic Conversion Amount) will be automatically converted into shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock (the Class 10 Plan Shares) at a conversion rate equal to the Automatic Conversion VWAP Price per share of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock (i.e., such Option C Holder will receive that number of shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock determined by dividing the Automatic Conversion Amount by the Automatic Conversion VWAP Price). If, on any Automatic Conversion Date, the Automatic Conversion VWAP Price is less than $1.00 per share, the Automatic Conversion Amount for that Automatic Conversion Date will not automatically convert into shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock, but will instead become payable at the date which is twenty-four (24) months following the Determination Date (the Option C Maturity Date) as described below, unless the Option C Holder, upon written notice to Reorganized Accentia, elects to convert the Automatic Conversion Amount into shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock (also, the Class 10 Plan Shares) at a conversion rate equal to $1.00 per share of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock (i.e., such Option C Holder will receive that number of shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock determined by dividing the Automatic Conversion Amount by $1.00). On each Automatic Conversion Date for which the Automatic Conversion VWAP Price is $1.00 or greater or on which the Option C Holder elects an optional conversion as described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Option C Allowed Claim Amount shall be reduced by the Automatic Conversion Amount. Any portion of the Option C Allowed Claim Amount that is outstanding at the Option C Maturity Date will be due and payable in full, at the election of Reorganized Accentia, in either Cash or in shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock at a conversion rate equal to the average of the VWAPs for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day that is immediately preceding the
51
Option C Maturity Date. If, at any time prior to the Option C Maturity Date, the VWAP is at least $1.50 per share for ten (10) consecutive Trading Days, an Option C Holder, at its option, may upon written notice to Reorganized Accentia convert any or all of the Option C Allowed Claim Amount into shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock at a conversion rate equal to the Automatic Conversion VWAP Price used for the initial conversion on the Determination Date. In addition, if, at any time prior to the Option C Maturity Date, the VWAP is at least $1.88 per share for thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days, Reorganized Accentia, at its option, may upon written notice to the Option C Holders require the conversion of up to $5,000,000.00 of the then aggregate outstanding balance of the Option C Allowed Claim Amount at a conversion rate equal to the Automatic Conversion VWAP Price used for the initial conversion on the Determination Date (such conversion right by Reorganized Accentia shall reset for subsequent periods until the Option C Maturity Date), with any such conversion to be pro rata based on each Option C Holders percentage interest in the then aggregate outstanding balance of the Option C Allowed Claim Amount. The Class 10 Plan Shares shall be issued as soon as reasonably practicable following the Automatic Conversion Date (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following the Automatic Conversion Date, subject to the procedures followed by the Transfer Agent) pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and shall not have any legend restricting the sale thereof under federal securities laws, but the transfer thereof shall be subject to the provisions of Article 9.12. The transfer or resale of the Class 10 Plan Shares by any recipient thereof would not be exempted under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code if such recipient is deemed to be an underwriter (see Article 8.9 of the Plan for a further discussion of the securities law issues relating to underwriters).
5.11.3 The election of Option A, Option B or Option C must be made on the Ballot submitted by the Holder of a Class 10 Unsecured Claim and filed with the Bankruptcy Court by the Voting Deadline; provided, however, that the Debtors, in their sole discretion, may accept any written election of Option B or Option C by the Holder of a Class 10 Unsecured Claim that is delivered to the Debtors prior to the Effective Date. In the event that a Holder of a Class 10 Unsecured Claim does not make an election of Option A, Option B or Option C on its Ballot or does not file a Ballot with the Bankruptcy Court, such Holder shall be deemed to have elected Option A.
Class 10 is Impaired by the Plan. Each Holder of an Unsecured Claim in Class 10 is entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
5.12 | Class 11: Unsecured Convenience Claims. |
5.12.1 Class 11 consists of all Unsecured Convenience Claims. To the extent required by the Bankruptcy Court, such Unsecured Convenience Claims shall be separated into subclasses in Class 11 for each Debtor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, each Holder of a Class 10 Unsecured Claim (a) in an amount greater than $10,000.00 may have its Unsecured Claim treated as an Unsecured Convenience Claim under the Plan by making the Convenience Class Opt-In Election, or (b) in an amount less than or equal to $10,000.00 may have its Unsecured Claim treated as a Class 10 Unsecured Claim under the Plan by making the Convenience Class Opt-Out Election. The Convenience Class Opt-In Election or the Convenience Class Opt-Out Election is irrevocable and must be made by such Holder on its Ballot and filed with the Bankruptcy Court on or before the Voting Deadline.
52
5.12.2 On the Distribution Date, the Holder of an Allowed Unsecured Convenience Claim shall receive Cash from Reorganized Accentia in an amount equal to (a) twenty percent (20%) of the amount of such Allowed Claim if the amount of such Allowed Claim is less than or equal to $10,000.00, or (b) $2,000.00 if the amount of such Allowed Claim is greater than $10,000.00 and the Holder of such Allowed Claim has agreed to reduce the Allowed Amount of its Claim to $10,000.00 by making the Convenience Class Opt-In Election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Reorganized Accentia does not have sufficient Cash available to make the payment required to the Holder of an Allowed Class 11 Claim on the Distribution Date, such Allowed Class 11 Claim shall be paid on the 6 Month Anniversary Date or as otherwise ordered by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court.
Class 11 is Impaired by the Plan. Each Holder of an Unsecured Convenience Claim in Class 11 is entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
5.13 | Class 12: Intercompany Claims. |
Class 12 consists of all Intercompany Claims. On the Effective Date, all of the Intercompany Claims shall be deemed cancelled, annulled and extinguished without any further action by any party and shall be of no further force and effect. The Holders of the Class 12 Intercompany Claims will not receive or retain any Property under the Plan on account of such Intercompany Claims. Accordingly, Reorganized Accentia will not make any Distribution or establish any reserve under the Plan for the Intercompany Claims. Class 12 is Impaired by the Plan. Pursuant to Section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, Class 12 is deemed not to have accepted the Plan and, thus, Holders of the Class 12 Intercompany Claims are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
5.14 | Class 13: Convertible Preferred Stock Claims. |
5.14.1 Class 13 consists of all Convertible Preferred Stock Claims. Under the Plan, subject to Article 5.14.1.5, the Class 13 Claims of each of the Convertible Preferred Stock Holders will be allowed in an amount equal to the outstanding principal as of the Petition Date under its Convertible Preferred Stock Documents (each, a Convertible Preferred Stock Allowed Class 13 Claim). Under the Plan, the following shall occur with respect to the Convertible Preferred Stock Allowed Class 13 Claims:
5.14.1.1 At the option of a Convertible Preferred Stock Holder, such Convertible Preferred Stock Holder may elect (in lieu of the treatment described in Article 5.14.1.2) to convert all of its Convertible Preferred Stock Allowed Class 13 Claim into shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock (the Class 13 Plan Shares) at a conversion rate equal to $2.67 per share of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock (i.e., such Convertible Preferred Stock Holder will receive on the Determination Date that number of shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock determined by dividing its Convertible Preferred Stock Allowed Class 13 Claim by $2.67). The Class 13 Plan Shares shall be issued as soon as reasonably practicable following the Determination Date (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following the Determination Date, subject to the procedures followed by the Transfer
53
Agent) pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and shall not have any legend restricting the sale thereof under federal securities laws, but the transfer thereof shall be subject to the provisions of Article 9.12. The transfer or resale of the Class 13 Plan Shares by any recipient thereof would not be exempted under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code if such recipient is deemed to be an underwriter (see Article 8.9 of the Plan for a further discussion of the securities law issues relating to underwriters). Any Conversion Election under this Article 5.14.1.1 shall be made by a Convertible Preferred Stock Holder on the Ballot filed with the Bankruptcy Court or in a separate writing delivered to Accentia, in each such case prior to the Voting Deadline. In the event a Convertible Preferred Stock Holder makes a Conversion Election under this Article 5.14.1.1, the provisions of Article 5.14.1.2 shall not be applicable to such Convertible Preferred Stock Holder.
5.14.1.2 In the event a Convertible Preferred Stock Holder does not make the Conversion Election described in Article 5.14.1.1, such Convertible Preferred Stock Holder will receive, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Determination Date (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following the Determination Date), a convertible promissory note (the Class 13 Plan Note) executed by Reorganized Accentia in an original principal amount equal to the amount of its Convertible Preferred Stock Allowed Class 13 Claim. The Class 13 Plan Note shall contain the following terms: (a) a maturity date of twenty-four (24) months following the Determination Date (the Class 13 Plan Note Maturity Date), (b) no interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Class 13 Plan Note, (c) on the Determination Date and on each of the following seven (7) quarterly anniversaries of the Determination Date (each, an Automatic Conversion Date), and provided that the Automatic Conversion VWAP Price is at least $1.00 per share, one-eighth ( 1/8th) of the original balance of the Class 13 Plan Note (the Automatic Conversion Amount) will be automatically converted into shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock (the Class 13 Plan Shares) at a conversion rate equal to the Automatic Conversion VWAP Price per share of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock (i.e., such Convertible Preferred Stock Holder will receive that number of shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock determined by dividing the Automatic Conversion Amount by the Automatic Conversion VWAP Price), (d) if, on any Automatic Conversion Date, the Automatic Conversion VWAP Price is less than $1.00 per share, the Automatic Conversion Amount for that Automatic Conversion Date will not automatically convert into shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock, but will instead become payable at the Class 13 Plan Note Maturity Date (as described below) unless a Convertible Preferred Stock Holder, upon written notice to Reorganized Accentia, elects to convert the Automatic Conversion Amount into shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock (also, the Class 13 Plan Shares) at a conversion rate equal to $1.00 per share of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock (i.e., the Convertible Preferred Stock Holder will receive that number of shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock determined by dividing the Automatic Conversion Amount by $1.00), (e) on each Automatic Conversion Date for which the Automatic Conversion VWAP Price is $1.00 or greater or on which the Convertible Preferred Stock Holder makes an optional conversion under subparagraph (d) above, the outstanding principal balance of the Class 13 Plan Note shall be reduced by the Automatic Conversion Amount, (f) any principal amount outstanding under the Class 13 Plan Note at the Class 13 Plan Note Maturity Date will be due and payable in full, at the election of Reorganized Accentia, in either Cash or in
54
shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock at a conversion rate equal to the greater of the average of the VWAPs for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day that is immediately preceding the Class 13 Plan Note Maturity Date or $1.00, (g) if, at any time during the term of the Class 13 Plan Note, the VWAP is at least 125% of $1.25 per share for ten (10) consecutive Trading Days, the Convertible Preferred Stock Holder, at its option, may upon written notice to Reorganized Accentia convert any or all of the then outstanding principal balance of its Class 13 Plan Note into shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock at a conversion rate equal to the Automatic Conversion VWAP Price used for the initial conversion on the Determination Date, (h) if, at any time during the term of the Class 13 Plan Notes, the VWAP is at least 150% of $1.25 per share for thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days, Reorganized Accentia, at its option, may upon written notice to the Convertible Preferred Stock Holders require the conversion of all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Class 13 Plan Notes at a conversion rate equal to the Automatic Conversion VWAP Price used for the initial conversion on the Determination Date (such conversion right by Reorganized Accentia shall reset for subsequent periods during the term of the Class 13 Plan Notes), with any such conversion to be pro rata based on each Holders percentage interest in the then aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Class 13 Plan Notes, and (i) the Class 13 Plan Shares shall be issued as soon as reasonably practicable following the Automatic Conversion Date (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following the Automatic Conversion Date, subject to the procedures followed by the Transfer Agent) pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and shall not have any legend restricting the sale thereof under federal securities laws, but the transfer thereof shall be subject to the provisions of Article 9.12. The transfer or resale of the Class 13 Plan Shares by any recipient thereof would not be exempted under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code if such recipient is deemed to be an underwriter (see Article 8.9 of the Plan for a further discussion of the securities law issues relating to underwriters).
5.14.1.3 As of the Effective Date, any and all of the Convertible Preferred Stock Documents shall be deemed cancelled and void and of no further force and effect.
5.14.1.4 On the Effective Date, the Convertible Preferred Stock Warrants will be cancelled and a new warrant (the Class 13 Plan Warrant) will be issued to each of the Convertible Preferred Stock Holders to purchase the same number of shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock as were allocated to such Convertible Preferred Stock Holder Holder as of the Petition Date under its Convertible Preferred Stock Warrants (also, the Class 13 Plan Shares). The Class 13 Plan Warrants will have the following terms: (i) an exercise price of $1.50 per share, (ii) a term of three years from the Effective Date, (iii) no anti-dilution adjustment provisions, (iv) an exercise can only be for cash (i.e., no cashless exercise provisions), (v) be subject to the call provisions described in Article 9.1.3.1 below, (vi) no lock-up provisions, and (vii) all shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock issued upon exercise of a Class 13 Plan Warrant shall be issued pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and shall not have any legend restricting the sale thereof under federal securities laws. The transfer or resale of the Class 13 Plan Shares by any recipient thereof would not be exempted under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code if such recipient is deemed to be an underwriter (see Article 8.9 of the Plan for a further discussion of the securities law issues relating to underwriters).
55
5.14.1.5 The form of the Class 13 Plan Note and the Class 13 Plan Warrant will be forwarded by Accentia to each of the Convertible Preferred Stock Holders within ten (10) days of the date of the Accentia Disclosure Statement Approval Order.
5.14.1.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 5.14.1, the treatment of the Convertible Preferred Stock Claims of Laurus/Valens shall be determined as set forth in Article 5.3.2.6.
Class 13 is Impaired by the Plan. The Convertible Preferred Stock Holders, as the Holders of the Class 13 Claims, are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. For purposes of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Laurus/Valens Allowed Preferred Stock Claim shall be counted under Class 13 with respect to any Ballot cast by Laurus/Valens as to the Plan.
5.15 | Class 14: Subordinated Securities Claims. |
5.15.1 Class 14 consists of all Subordinated Securities Claims. Pursuant to Section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, each Allowed Class 14 Claim, if any, shall be subordinated to all Claims (including Class 10 Unsecured Claims) or Equity Interests that are senior to or equal to the Claim or Equity Interest represented by the Security of Accentia in question; provided, however, that if such Security is Existing Accentia Common Stock, such Allowed Class 14 Claim shall have the same priority as Class 15 Equity Interests.
5.15.2 Under the Plan, each Holder of an Allowed Class 14 Claim will receive a Distribution, in Cash, in an amount equal to the sum of one hundred percent (100%) of such Holders Allowed Class 14 Claim. Such Distribution will be made to such Holder by Reorganized Accentia at the end of the 48th month following the Effective Date; provided, however, that no Distribution shall be made to the Holders of Allowed Class 14 Claims until all Distributions have been made to all Holders of Allowed Class 10 Unsecured Claims who have elected Option A under Article 5.11.2.1.
Class 14 is Impaired by the Plan. Each Holder of a Subordinated Securities Claim in Class 14 is entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
5.16 | Class 15: Equity Interests. |
Class 15 consists of all Equity Interests. Under the Plan, each Holder of an Allowed Class 15 Equity Interest on the Effective Date shall be deemed to receive one (1) share of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock for each share of Existing Accentia Common Stock held by such Holder as of the Effective Date (the Class 15 Plan Shares), subject to dilution of such Holders percentage ownership interest in Reorganized Accentia as a result of the issuance of the other Plan Shares hereunder. To the extent requested by the Holder of an Allowed Class 15 Equity Interest, such Holder shall receive, upon surrender to the Transfer Agent of a stock certificate evidencing shares of Existing Accentia Common Stock, a new certificate representing the Class 15 Plan Shares. The Class 15 Plan Shares shall be deemed issued pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and
56
shall not have any legend restricting the sale thereof under federal securities laws. The Debtors do not believe that the Holders of Class 15 Equity Interests are Impaired by the Plan, since their shares of Existing Accentia Common Stock were subject to significant dilution as of the Petition Date. However, out of an abundance of caution, the Debtors are treating Class 15 as Impaired by the Plan and, thus, each Holder of a Class 15 Equity Interest is entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
5.17 | Class 16: Subsidiary Equity Interests. |
Class 16 consists of all Subsidiary Equity Interests. The Subsidiary Equity Interests will not be affected by the Plan and Accentia will retain the Subsidiary Equity Interests. No Distributions will be made under the Plan on account of the Subsidiary Equity Interests. Class 16 is Unimpaired by the Plan. Accentia, as the Holder of the Class 16 Subsidiary Equity Interests, conclusively is presumed to have accepted the Plan and is not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
ARTICLE 6
ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF THE PLAN
6.1 | Each Impaired Class Entitled to Vote Separately. |
Except as otherwise provided in Article 6.4, the Holders of Claims or Equity Interests in each Impaired Class of Claims or Impaired Class of Equity Interests shall be entitled to vote separately to accept or reject the Plan.
6.2 | Acceptance by Impaired Classes. |
6.2.1 Classes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 14 are Impaired under the Plan, and Holders of Claims in such Classes are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. Pursuant to Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, an Impaired Class of Claims shall have accepted the Plan if (a) the Holders (other than any Holder designated pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code) of at least two-thirds in dollar amount of the Allowed Claims actually voting in such Class have voted to accept the Plan and (b) the Holders (other than any Holder designated pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code) of more than one-half in number of the Allowed Claims actually voting in such Class have voted to accept the Plan. If a Holder of a Claim holds more than one Claim in any one Class, all Claims of such Holder in such Class shall be aggregated and deemed to be one Claim for purposes of determining the number of Claims in such Class voting on the Plan.
6.2.2 The Debtors do not believe that the Holders of Class 15 Equity Interests are Impaired by the Plan, since their shares of Existing Accentia Common Stock were subject to significant dilution as of the Petition Date. However, out of an abundance of caution, the Debtors are treating Class 15 as Impaired by the Plan. Pursuant to Section 1126(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, an Impaired Class of Equity Interests shall have accepted the Plan if the Holders (other than any Holder designated pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code) of at least two-thirds in amount of the Allowed Equity Interests actually voting in such Class have voted to accept the Plan.
57
6.3 | Presumed Acceptance of Plan by Unimpaired Classes. |
Class 7 is Unimpaired under the Plan. Pursuant to Section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, such Class and the Holders of Claims in such Class are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan and, thus, are not entitled to vote on the Plan. Accordingly, votes of Holders of Claims in Class 7 are not being solicited by the Debtors. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, nothing contained herein or otherwise shall affect the rights and legal and equitable claims or defenses of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors in respect of any Unimpaired Claims, including all rights in respect of legal and equitable defenses to setoffs or recoupments against Unimpaired Claims.
6.4 | Deemed Non-Acceptance of Plan. |
Holders of Class 12 Intercompany Claims will not receive or retain any Property or equity interest under the Plan on account of such Intercompany Claims and, therefore, Class 12 is deemed not to have accepted the Plan pursuant to Section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, votes of Holders of Class 12 Intercompany Claims are not being solicited by the Debtors.
6.5 | Impairment Controversies. |
If a controversy arises as to whether any Claim or Equity Interest, or any Class of Claims or Class of Equity Interests, is Impaired under the Plan, such Claim, Equity Interest or Class shall be treated as specified in the Plan unless the Bankruptcy Court shall determine such controversy upon motion of the party challenging the characterization of a particular Claim or Equity Interest, or a particular Class of Claims or Class of Equity Interests, under the Plan.
ARTICLE 7
TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES
7.1 | Assumption or Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. |
Pursuant to Sections 365(a) and 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, all executory contracts and unexpired leases that currently exist between any of the Debtors and another Person or Entity and not listed on Exhibit B attached hereto shall be deemed assumed by the applicable Debtor as of the Effective Date (collectively, the Assumed Contracts); provided, however, that the Debtors reserve the right, on or prior to the Confirmation Date, to amend Exhibit B to add any executory contract or unexpired lease thereto or to delete any executory contract or unexpired lease therefrom, in which event such executory contract(s) or unexpired lease(s) shall be deemed to be rejected (if added) or assumed (if deleted). The Debtors shall provide notice of any amendments to Exhibit B to the parties to the executory contracts and unexpired leases affected thereby. The listing of a document on Exhibit B shall not constitute an admission by the Debtors that such document is an executory contract or an unexpired lease or that the Debtors have any liability thereunder. Any executory contract or unexpired lease that exists between the Debtors and another Person or Entity and that is listed on Exhibit B attached to the Plan shall be deemed rejected by the Debtors as of the Confirmation Date (collectively, the Rejected Contracts), unless there is pending before the Bankruptcy Court on the Confirmation Date a motion to assume such executory contract or
58
unexpired lease. In addition, any executory contract or unexpired lease that exists between either AccentRx, ASP or TEAMM and another Person or Entity shall be deemed rejected by AccentRx, ASP or TEAMM, as the case may be, as of the Confirmation Date (also, collectively, the Rejected Contracts), unless there is pending before the Bankruptcy Court on the Confirmation Date a motion to assume such executory contract or unexpired lease. For purposes of the Plan, (i) all non-compete agreements, confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements and indemnification agreements executed for the benefit of the Debtors shall be deemed to be executory contracts and Assumed Contracts, and (ii) except as provided in Article 7.7, all non-compete agreements, confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements, indemnification agreements and guaranties executed by any of the Debtors for the benefit of a third party shall be deemed to be executory contracts and Rejected Contracts (even if not listed on Exhibit B).
7.2 | Approval of Assumption or Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. |
Entry of the Confirmation Order shall, subject to and upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, constitute (i) the approval, pursuant to Sections 365(a) and 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, of the assumption of the executory contracts and unexpired leases assumed pursuant to Article 7.1 hereof, (ii) the approval, pursuant to Sections 365(a) and 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, of the rejection of the executory contracts and unexpired leases rejected pursuant to Article 7.1 hereof, and (iii) the extension of time, pursuant to Section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, within which the Debtors may assume, assume and assign, or reject any unexpired lease of nonresidential real property through the date of entry of an order approving the assumption, assumption and assignment, or rejection of such unexpired lease. The assumption by any of the Debtors of an Assumed Contract shall be binding upon any and all parties to such Assumed Contract as a matter of law, and each such Assumed Contract shall be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as modified by the provisions of the Plan or an order of the Bankruptcy Court.
7.3 | Inclusiveness. |
Unless otherwise specified on Exhibit B, each executory contract and unexpired lease listed or to be listed on Exhibit B shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument, or other document that in any manner affect such executory contract or unexpired lease, without regard to whether such agreement, instrument or other document is listed on Exhibit B.
7.4 | Cure of Defaults. |
Any lessor or other party to an Assumed Contract (except those lessors or other parties whose unexpired leases or executory contracts have been previously assumed by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court) asserting a Cure Claim in connection with the assumption of any unexpired lease or executory contract under Article 7.1, as contemplated by Section 365(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, must file such Cure Claim with the Bankruptcy Court on or before the Cure Claim Submission Deadline asserting all alleged amounts accrued or alleged defaults through the Effective Date. Any lessor or other party to an Assumed Contract failing to file a Cure Claim by the Cure Claim Submission Deadline shall be forever barred from asserting, collecting or seeking to collect any amounts or defaults relating thereto against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors. The
59
Reorganized Debtors shall have ninety (90) days from the Effective Date to file an objection to any Cure Claim. Any disputed Cure Claims shall be resolved either consensually or by the Bankruptcy Court. Except as may otherwise be agreed to by the parties, by no later than the 6 Month Anniversary Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall cure any and all undisputed Cure Claims. All disputed Cure Claims shall be cured either within one hundred twenty (120) days after the entry of a Final Order determining the amount, if any, of the Debtors liability with respect thereto or as may otherwise be agreed to by the parties. As of the date of the Plan, the Debtors do not believe there will be any Cure Claims.
7.5 | Claims under Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. |
7.5.1 Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, any Claim for damages arising by reason of the rejection of any executory contract or unexpired lease must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court on or before the Bar Date for rejection damage Claims in respect of such rejected executory contract or unexpired lease or such Claim shall be forever barred and unenforceable against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors. With respect to the Rejected Contracts, the Bar Date for filing rejection damage and other Claims with the Bankruptcy Court shall be thirty (30) days after the Confirmation Date. The Plan and any other order of the Bankruptcy Court providing for the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease shall constitute adequate and sufficient notice to Persons or Entities which may assert a Claim for damages from the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease of the Bar Date for filing a Claim in connection therewith.
7.5.2 All Claims for damages from the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease, once fixed and liquidated by the Bankruptcy Court and determined to be Allowed Claims, shall be Allowed Unsecured Claims in Class 10.
7.6 | Insurance Policies. |
All of the Debtors insurance policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto are treated as executory contracts under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Cause of Action that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may hold against any Person or Entity, including the insurers under any of the Debtors insurance policies or under the D&O Policy.
7.7 | Indemnification Rights. |
All Claims for Indemnification Rights against the Debtors by an Indemnitee for defense and indemnification shall be reinstated against the Reorganized Debtors and rendered Unimpaired to the extent that such Indemnitee is entitled to defense or indemnification under applicable law, agreement or past policy of the Debtors, but only to the extent that any such reinstated Claim for defense and indemnification in response to a claim against such Indemnitee is covered under any of the Debtors insurance policies, including the D&O Policy. The reinstated Claim against the Reorganized Debtors, and the Reorganized Debtors corresponding defense and indemnification obligation, shall not be for any deductible or self-insured retention amount and shall not exceed the amount of available insurance coverage.
60
7.8 | Existing Accentia Stock Options. |
7.8.1 All of the grants of the Existing Accentia Stock Options and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto are treated as executory contracts under the Plan. All of the holders of the Existing Accentia Stock Options shall retain unaltered all of their legal, equitable and contractual rights thereunder, subject to the provisions set forth in Articles 7.8.2-7.8.4.
7.8.2 Any Existing Accentia Stock Option granted Prepetition shall be exercisable by the holder thereof in accordance with the terms of the original grant, but may not be exercised until after the 4 Month Anniversary Date. The sale of any shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock received upon the exercise of any such option shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations under Rule 144(e) and Accentias insider trading restrictions and policies.
7.8.3 Any Existing Accentia Stock Option granted Postpetition may not be exercised by the holder thereof until after the 12 Month Anniversary Date. Following the 12 Month Anniversary Date, any such option shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms of the original grant provided that one of the following conditions has been satisfied following the Effective Date: (i) an aggregate of 30,000,000 shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock have traded at a price equal to or greater than $1.25 per share, or (ii) for a period of ninety (90) consecutive Trading Days, the VWAP equals or exceeds $1.88 per share. If either of the conditions in subparagraph (i) or (ii) has not been satisfied by the 12 Month Anniversary Date, then any such option shall not be exercisable thereafter until the first to occur of the following: (a) the satisfaction of either of the conditions in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, or (b) the holder of any such option pays an exercise price to Reorganized Accentia in an amount equal to the sum of (x) the exercise price stated in such option plus (y) an amount equal to the difference between $1.25 per share and the exercise price stated in such option.
7.8.4. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 7.8.2 or 7.8.3, the holder of an Existing Accentia Stock Option may exercise such option provided that the shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock issued upon such exercise are deposited into an escrow account controlled by Reorganized Accentia and cannot be sold or transferred until such time that such option would have otherwise become exercisable under Article 7.8.2 or 7.8.3; provided, however, that this prohibition on transfer shall not prohibit the transfer of any such shares to a family member or to an Entity for the benefit of or controlled by a family member as permitted by the terms of the applicable incentive stock option plan (provided that the family member or Entity agrees to be bound by the provisions of Article 7.8.2 or 7.8.3, as the case may be).
7.9 | Existing Accentia Stock Warrants. |
7.9.1 All of the Existing Accentia Stock Warrants are treated as executory contracts under the Plan. All of the holders of Existing Accentia Stock Warrants shall retain unaltered all of their legal, equitable and contractual rights thereunder, subject to the provisions set forth in Article 7.9.2.
7.9.2 Any shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock issued, upon exercise, to the holder of an Existing Accentia Stock Warrant may not be sold or transferred until after the 12 Month Anniversary Date; provided, however, that this prohibition on transfer shall not prohibit the transfer of any such shares to a family member or to an Entity for the benefit of or controlled by a family
61
member (provided that the family member or Entity agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Article 7.9.2). Any certificate for such shares shall contain a legend thereon setting forth the foregoing provisions and restrictions.
ARTICLE 8
MEANS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN
8.1 | General Overview of the Plan. |
The Plan provides for the continued operation of the Debtors as Reorganized Debtors. The Plan provides for Cash payments to Holders of Allowed Claims and, in certain instances, the issuance of designated amounts of the Reorganized Accentia Common Stock to certain Holders of Allowed Claims, all as more particularly described in Articles 3 and 5 of the Plan. In addition, each Holder of an Allowed Class 15 Equity Interest on the Effective Date will be deemed to receive one (1) share of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock for each share of Existing Accentia Common Stock held by such Holder as of the Effective Date, subject to dilution of such Holders percentage ownership interest in Reorganized Accentia as a result of the issuance of the other Plan Shares.
The Plan shall be implemented on the Effective Date, and the primary source of the funds necessary to implement the Plan initially will be the Cash of Reorganized Accentia, including funds to be received from the Exit Financing. At the present time, the Debtors believe that Reorganized Accentia will have sufficient funds, as of the Effective Date, to pay in full the expected payments required under the Plan to the Holders of Allowed Administrative Expense Claims (including Allowed Administrative Expense Claims of Professionals), Allowed Secured Tax Claims in Class 7, and Allowed Unsecured Convenience Claims in Class 11. Cash payments to be made under the Plan after the Effective Date to the Holders of Allowed Priority Tax Claims and Allowed Claims in Classes 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 14 will be derived from the operations of the Reorganized Debtors or from any new capital or financing raised by Reorganized Accentia, in each case as shown in the Projections.
8.2 | Effective Date Actions. |
8.2.1 Subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent to the occurrence of the Effective Date contained in Article 10.2 of the Plan, on or as of the Effective Date, the Plan shall be implemented and the following actions shall thereafter immediately occur:
8.2.1.1 | the Closing shall occur under the Laurus/Valens Settlement Documents; | |||
8.2.1.2 | Reorganized Accentia shall make the Initial Distribution as provided in Article 9.1 of the Plan; |
62
8.2.1.3 | Reorganized Accentia shall execute and deliver the Plan Debentures, the Plan Notes, the Plan Warrants, and the Security Documents in accordance with the provisions of the Plan; | |||
8.2.1.4 | All of the Class 12 Intercompany Claims shall automatically be deemed cancelled, annulled, extinguished and surrendered without any further action by any party and shall be of no further force and effect; | |||
8.2.1.5 | The Reorganized Accentia Charter shall be filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Florida; | |||
8.2.1.6 | Subject to Article 8.2.1.5, Reorganized Accentia shall issue and distribute the Plan Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Plan; | |||
8.2.1.7 | The Reorganized Debtors shall be automatically substituted for the Debtors as a party to all contested matters, adversary proceedings, administrative proceedings and lawsuits, both within and outside of the Bankruptcy Court, involving the Debtors Properties, Claims against the Debtors, the Causes of Action, and the resolution of Disputed Claims; and | |||
8.2.1.8 | The Reorganized Debtors shall carry out their other Effective Date responsibilities under the Plan, including the execution and delivery of all documentation contemplated by the Plan and the Plan Documents. |
8.3 | Vesting of Property of the Estates in the Reorganized Debtors. |
On the Effective Date, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all Property of the Estates (including the Causes of Action and any net operating losses) shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors free and clear of any and all Liens, Debts, obligations, Claims, Cure Claims, Liabilities, Equity Interests, and all other interests of every kind and nature except the Permitted Liens, and the Confirmation Order shall so provide. The Reorganized Debtors intend to preserve net operating losses to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. As of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may operate their businesses and use, acquire, and dispose of their Properties, free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules, other than those restrictions expressly imposed by the Plan and the Confirmation Order. All privileges with respect to the Property of the Debtors Estates, including the attorney/client privilege, to which the Debtors are entitled shall automatically vest in, and may be asserted by or waived on behalf of, the Reorganized Debtors.
8.4 | Continued Corporate Existence. |
Each of the Debtors will continue to exist after the Effective Date as a separate corporate entity, with all of the powers of a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and pursuant to its articles or certificate of incorporation and bylaws or other organizational documents in effect prior to the Effective Date, except to the extent such articles or certificate of incorporation and bylaws or other organizational documents are amended or amended and restated as provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, without prejudice to any right to terminate such existence (whether by merger, dissolution or otherwise) under applicable law after the Effective Date.
63
8.5 | Corporate Action. |
All matters provided for under the Plan involving the corporate structure of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, or any corporate action to be taken by or required of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, including all action taken to approve the Reorganized Accentia Charter and the Reorganized Accentia Bylaws, shall, as of the Effective Date, be deemed to have occurred and be effective as provided herein, and shall be authorized and approved in all respects without any requirement for further action by the stockholders or directors of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors.
8.6 | Boards of Directors and Executive Officers of the Reorganized Debtors. |
8.6.1 Subject to any requirement of Bankruptcy Court approval pursuant to Section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the Effective Date, the executive officers and directors of the Debtors immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be deemed to be the executive officers and directors of the Reorganized Debtors without any further action by any party. Pursuant to Section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors have disclosed, in the Disclosure Statement, the identity and affiliation of any individual proposed to serve as an initial director or executive officer of Reorganized Accentia and, to the extent such individual is an insider other than by virtue of being a director, the nature of any compensation for such individual.
8.6.2. On and after the Effective Date, the operations of each of the Reorganized Debtors shall continue to be the responsibility of its Board of Directors. Each director of each of the Reorganized Debtors shall serve from and after the Effective Date until his or her successor is duly elected or appointed and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the applicable articles or certificate of incorporation and bylaws or other organizational documents of such Reorganized Debtor. Each executive officer of each of the Reorganized Debtors shall serve from and after the Effective Date until his or her successor is duly appointed and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the applicable articles or certificate of incorporation and bylaws or other organizational documents of such Reorganized Debtor.
8.6.3 From and after the Confirmation Date, the Board of Directors and executive officers of each of the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, shall have all powers accorded by law to put into effect and carry out the Plan and the Confirmation Order.
8.6.4 To the extent that, as of the Effective Date, any of the Debtors has in place employment, indemnification and other agreements with its directors, officers and employees who will continue in such capacities after the Effective Date, such agreements shall remain in place after the Effective Date, and the Reorganized Debtors will continue to honor such agreements. Such agreements may include equity, bonus and other incentive plans in which directors, officers and other employees of the Reorganized Debtors may be eligible to participate, including the Existing Accentia Stock Options.
64
8.7 | Amendment and Restatement of Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Accentia. |
8.7.1 The Board of Directors of Accentia shall take such action as may be necessary to cause the articles of incorporation of Accentia to be amended and restated (a) if applicable, to authorize a sufficient number of shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock necessary to meet (i) the requirements set forth in the Plan as to the issuance of the Plan Shares, and (ii) the obligations of Reorganized Accentia under the Existing Accentia Stock Options and the Existing Accentia Stock Warrants, (b) to contain any provisions as may be required in order that such articles of incorporation are consistent with the provisions of the Plan, the Bankruptcy Code, and the Confirmation Order, and (c) to provide, pursuant to Section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, for a provision prohibiting the issuance of non-voting equity securities, but only to the extent required by Section 1123(a)(6).
8.7.2 The bylaws of Accentia shall be amended and restated as necessary to satisfy the provisions of the Plan (as amended and restated, the Reorganized Accentia Bylaws).
8.7.3 To the extent necessary, the Confirmation Order shall include appropriate language approving the Reorganized Accentia Charter and the Reorganized Accentia Bylaws. The Reorganized Accentia Charter and the Reorganized Accentia Bylaws shall be the charter and bylaws governing Reorganized Accentia on and after the Effective Date, subject to any right to amend the foregoing as permitted by applicable law.
8.8 | Issuance of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock. |
Reorganized Accentia shall issue and distribute, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock to those Entities entitled to receive the Plan Shares hereunder. Exhibit C attached hereto sets forth a pro forma recapitalization of Reorganized Accentia after giving effect to the maximum possible issuance of shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock under the terms of the Plan as of the Effective Date, the Existing Accentia Stock Options, and the Existing Accentia Stock Warrants.
8.9 | Exemptions from Securities Laws. |
General. Pursuant to Section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Person that solicits the acceptance or rejection of a plan, in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, or that participates, in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, in the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of a Security, offered or sold under the plan, of the debtor, is not liable, on account of such solicitation or participation, for violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptance or rejection of a plan or the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of Securities.
Issuance of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock and Biovest Common Stock under the Plan. Section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code exempts from registration under the Securities Act and under equivalent state securities or blue sky laws (a) the offer or sale under a plan of reorganization of a Security of a debtor, of an affiliate participating in a joint plan with a debtor, or of a successor of a debtor under a plan, if such offer or sale is either (i) in exchange for a claim against,
65
an interest in, or a claim for an administrative expense in the bankruptcy case concerning, the debtor or such affiliate, or (ii) principally in such exchange and partly for cash or property, or (b) the offer of a Security through any warrant, option, right to subscribe, or conversion privilege that was sold in the manner specified in subparagraph (a) above, or the sale of a Security upon the exercise of such a warrant, option, right to subscribe, or conversion privilege. The Debtors believe that the offer and issuance of the Plan Debentures, the Plan Notes, the Plan Warrants and the Plan Shares in exchange for Claims and Equity Interests under the Plan satisfy the requirements of Section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and that such transactions, therefore, are exempt from registration under federal and state securities laws. In addition, for purposes of Section 1145(a)(1), Biovest shall be deemed as participating in the Plan with the Debtors with respect to the offer and sale of the Class 5 Plan Shares and the Class 5 Plan Warrants. The Confirmation Order will include a finding and conclusion to the effect that such offer and issuance fall within the exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and state and local securities laws pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Subsequent Transfers of Plan Shares.
Plan Shares Issued Pursuant to Section 1145 Exemption. The Plan Shares may be freely transferred by most recipients thereof, and all resales of and subsequent transactions for the Plan Shares are exempt from registration under federal and state securities laws, unless the holder is an underwriter with respect to the Plan Shares. Section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code defines four types of underwriters:
(i) an Entity that purchases a claim against, an interest in, or a claim for an administrative expense in the bankruptcy case concerning, the debtor, if such purchase is with a view to distribution of any Security received or to be received in exchange for such a claim or interest;
(ii) an Entity that offers to sell Securities offered or sold under a bankruptcy plan for the holders of such Securities;
(iii) an Entity that offers to buy Securities offered or sold under a bankruptcy plan from the holders of such Securities, if the offer to buy is (x) with a view to distribution of such Securities, and (y) under an agreement made in connection with the plan, with the consummation of the plan, or with the offer or sale of Securities under the plan; and
(iv) an Entity that is an issuer with respect to such Securities, as the term issuer is defined in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act.
Under Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, an issuer includes any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by the issuer, or any person under direct or indirect common control with the issuer. Control (as such term is defined in Rule 405 of Regulation C under the Securities Act) means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise. Accordingly, an officer or director of a reorganized debtor (or its affiliate or successor) under a plan of reorganization may be deemed to control such debtor (and therefore be an underwriter for purposes of Section 1145), particularly if such management position is coupled
66
with the ownership of a significant percentage of the debtors (or affiliates or successors) voting securities. Moreover, the legislative history of Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code suggests that a creditor who owns at least 10% of the securities of a reorganized debtor may be presumed to be a control person.
To the extent that Persons deemed to be underwriters receive Plan Shares pursuant to the Plan, resales of such Plan Shares by such Persons would not be exempted by Section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code from registration under the Securities Act or other applicable law. Persons deemed to be underwriters, however, may be able to sell such Plan Shares without registration subject to the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act as discussed below.
Plan Shares Held by Underwriters. Holders of Plan Shares who are deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of Section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code or who may otherwise be deemed to be affiliates of, or to exercise control over, Reorganized Accentia within the meaning of Rule 405 of Regulation C under the Securities Act, may, in addition to any other exemptions that may be available under federal and state securities laws, under certain circumstances, be able to sell their Plan Shares pursuant to the more limited safe harbor resale provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Generally, Rule 144 provides that, if certain conditions are met (e.g., volume limitations, manner of sale, availability of current information about the issuer, etc.), specified persons who resell such securities and are affiliates of the issuer of the securities sought to be resold will not be deemed to be underwriters as defined in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act.
The foregoing summary discussion regarding Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code is general in nature and has been included in the Plan solely for informational purposes. Although the Plan Shares will become freely tradable by most recipients thereof as described above, it should be noted that there can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Reorganized Accentia Common Stock will develop or, if developed, that it will continue. Accordingly, no assurance can be given concerning the actual market for the Plan Shares or a Persons ability to sell the Plan Shares at any particular time. The Debtors do not make any representations concerning, and do not provide any opinion or advice with respect to, the securities law and bankruptcy law matters described above. In view of the uncertainty concerning the availability of exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and equivalent state securities or blue sky laws to a recipient of Plan Shares who may be deemed to be an underwriter (within the meaning of Section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code) and/or an affiliate of, or a person who exercises control over, Reorganized Accentia under applicable federal and state securities laws, the Debtors encourage each Person who is to receive Plan Shares pursuant to the Plan to consider carefully and consult with its own legal advisor(s) with respect to such (and any related) matters.
8.10 | SEC Public Reports. |
The Accentia Common Stock is registered under the Exchange Act. Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act requires that Accentia file with the SEC annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Following the Petition Date, Accentia voluntarily ceased filing certain required reports with the SEC, including its annual reports on Form 10-K for the 2008 and 2009 fiscal years and its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the 2009 fiscal year and the first quarter of the
67
2010 fiscal year. On August 16, 2010, Accentia filed all of the foregoing reports with the SEC as well as its Form 10-Q Quarterly Report for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010. As a result of the foregoing, Accentia is considered current in its SEC filings as of the date of the Plan. Each of the above-referenced reports can be accessed on the Internet at www.sec.gov or on Accentias website at www.accentia.com.
8.11 | Section 1146 Exemption. |
Pursuant to Section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the issuance, distribution, transfer or exchange of any Security (including the Reorganized Accentia Common Stock), or the making, delivery or recording of any instrument of transfer, pursuant to, in implementation of or as contemplated by the Plan or any Plan Document or the Laurus/Valens Settlement Documents, or the vesting, re-vesting, transfer or sale of any Property of, by or in the Debtors or their Estates or the Reorganized Debtors pursuant to, in implementation of or as contemplated by the Plan or any Plan Document or the Laurus/Valens Settlement Documents, or any transaction arising out of, contemplated by or in any way related to the foregoing, shall not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangible or similar tax, mortgage tax, stamp act, real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, Uniform Commercial Code filing or recording fee, or other similar tax or governmental assessment, and the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents shall be, and hereby are, directed to forego the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and to accept for filing and recording any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment.
8.12 | Pursuit of Causes of Action. |
8.12.1 On the Effective Date, the Causes of Action shall be vested in the Reorganized Debtors, except to the extent a Creditor or other third party has been specifically released from any Cause of Action by the terms of the Plan or by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court. The Reorganized Debtors will have the right, in their sole and absolute discretion, to pursue, not pursue, settle, release or enforce any Causes of Action without seeking any approval from the Bankruptcy Court except as provided in Article 8.13. The Debtors are currently not in a position to express an opinion on the merits of any of the Causes of Action or on the recoverability of any amounts as a result of any such Causes of Action. For purposes of providing notice, the Debtors state that any party in interest that engaged in business or other transactions with the Debtors Prepetition or that received payments from the Debtors Prepetition may be subject to litigation to the extent that applicable bankruptcy or non-bankruptcy law supports such litigation. The Reorganized Debtors will fund the costs and expenses (including legal fees) to pursue the Causes of Action.
8.12.2 No Creditor or other party should vote for the Plan or otherwise rely on the Confirmation of the Plan or the entry of the Confirmation Order in order to obtain, or on the belief that it will obtain, any defense to any Cause of Action. No Creditor or other party should act or refrain from acting on the belief that it will obtain any defense to any Cause of Action. ADDITIONALLY, THE PLAN DOES NOT, AND IS NOT INTENDED TO, RELEASE ANY CAUSES OF ACTION OR OBJECTIONS TO CLAIMS, AND ALL SUCH RIGHTS ARE SPECIFICALLY RESERVED IN FAVOR OF THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS. Creditors are advised that legal rights, claims and rights of action the Debtors may have against them, if they exist,
68
are retained under the Plan for prosecution unless a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizes the Debtors to release such claims. As such, Creditors are cautioned not to rely on (i) the absence of the listing of any legal right, claim or right of action against a particular Creditor in the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, or the Schedules, or (ii) the absence of litigation or demand prior to the Effective Date of the Plan as any indication that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors do not possess or do not intend to prosecute a particular claim or Cause of Action if a particular Creditor votes to accept the Plan. It is the expressed intention of the Plan to preserve rights, objections to Claims, and rights of action of the Debtors, whether now known or unknown, for the benefit of the Reorganized Debtors. A Cause of Action shall not, under any circumstances, be waived as a result of the failure of the Debtors to describe such Cause of Action with specificity in the Plan or in the Disclosure Statement; nor shall the Reorganized Debtors, as a result of such failure, be estopped or precluded under any theory from pursuing such Cause of Action. Nothing in the Plan operates as a release of any of the Causes of Action.
8.12.3 The Debtors do not presently know the full extent of the Causes of Action and, for purposes of voting on the Plan, all Creditors are advised that the Reorganized Debtors will have substantially the same rights that a Chapter 7 trustee would have with respect to the Causes of Action. Accordingly, neither a vote to accept the Plan by any Creditor nor the entry of the Confirmation Order will act as a release, waiver, bar or estoppel of any Cause of Action against such Creditor or any other Person or Entity, unless such Creditor, Person or Entity is specifically identified by name as a released party in the Plan, in the Confirmation Order, or in any other Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court. Confirmation of the Plan and entry of the Confirmation Order is not intended to and shall not be deemed to have any res judicata or collateral estoppel or other preclusive effect that would precede, preclude, or inhibit prosecution of such Causes of Action following Confirmation of the Plan.
8.12.4 At this time, the Debtors believe the Causes of Action consist primarily of (i) Avoidance Actions, and (ii) the Collegium Adversary Proceeding. Because the Plan is premised on the Debtors solvency and provides for payment in full of all Allowed Claims of Creditors, with interest, at the present time, the Debtors anticipate that no Avoidance Actions will be pursued.
8.12.5 The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors reserve all rights under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any and all Secured Claims.
8.12.6 The Estates shall remain open, even if the Accentia Bankruptcy Cases shall have been closed, as to any and all Causes of Action until such time as the Causes of Action have been fully administered and the Causes of Action Recoveries have been received by the Reorganized Debtors.
8.13 | Prosecution and Settlement of Claims and Causes of Action. |
The Reorganized Debtors (a) may commence or continue in any appropriate court or tribunal any suit or other proceeding for the enforcement of any Cause of Action which the Debtors had or had power to assert immediately prior to the Effective Date, and (b) may settle or adjust such Cause of Action. From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall be authorized, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and Section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, to compromise and settle any Cause of Action or objection to a Claim in accordance with the following procedures, which shall
69
constitute sufficient notice in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules for compromises and settlements: (i) if the resulting settlement provides for settlement of a Cause of Action or objection to a Claim originally asserted in an amount equal to or less than $50,000.00, then the Reorganized Debtors may settle the Cause of Action or objection to Claim and execute necessary documents, including a stipulation of settlement or release, subject to notifying the United States Trustee and counsel to Laurus/Valens of the terms of the settlement agreement; provided, however, that if the United States Trustee or counsel to Laurus/Valens indicates its approval or does not provide the Reorganized Debtors with an objection to the proposed settlement within ten (10) days after it receives notice of such settlement in writing, then the Reorganized Debtors shall be authorized to accept and consummate the settlement; and provided further, however, that if a timely written objection is made by the United States Trustee or counsel to Laurus/Valens to the proposed settlement, then the settlement may not be consummated without approval of the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 9019; and (ii) if the resulting settlement involves a Cause of Action or objection to a Claim originally asserted in an amount exceeding $50,000.00, then the Reorganized Debtors shall be authorized and empowered to settle such Cause of Action or objection to Claim only upon Bankruptcy Court approval in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and after notice to the Notice Parties.
8.14 | Effectuating Documents; Further Transactions. |
Prior to the Effective Date, each of the chief executive officer, president, or chief financial officer of the Debtors (and, on and after the Effective Date, each of the chief executive officer, president, or chief financial officer of the Reorganized Debtors) shall be authorized to execute, deliver, file, or record such contracts, instruments, releases, mortgages, and other agreements or documents, including the Laurus/Valens Settlement Documents, the Plan Debentures, the Plan Notes, the Plan Warrants and the Security Documents, and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate, to effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan or to otherwise comply with applicable law.
8.15 | Cancellation of Existing Loan Documents and Agreements. |
On the Effective Date, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, (a) all notes, bonds, indentures, debentures or other instruments or documents evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligations of the Debtors with respect to Claims in Classes 1 through 14 shall be deemed cancelled, and (b) the obligations of the Debtors under any such notes, bonds, indentures, debentures or other instruments or documents evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligations of the Debtors with respect to Claims in Classes 1 through 14 shall be discharged.
8.16 | Exit Financing. |
On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Date, Reorganized Accentia will obtain new financing (the Exit Financing) in an amount ranging from $1 million to $10 million. Subject to any mandatory prepayment requirements under the Laurus/Valens Term Notes, Reorganized Accentia intends to utilize the proceeds of the Exit Financing to provide additional working capital to conduct its operations following the Effective Date and to fund, to the extent necessary, certain Cash payments required to be made under the Plan on or shortly after the Effective
70
Date. The Exit Financing will be structured as a private placement equity offering through the sale to institutional and/or accredited investors of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock combined with warrants to purchase shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock. A more detailed discussion of the Exit Financing is contained in the section of the Disclosure Statement entitled SUMMARY OF THE PLANExit Financing.
8.17 | Exclusivity Period. |
The Debtors will retain the exclusive right to amend or modify the Plan, and to solicit acceptances of any amendments to or modifications of the Plan, through and until the Effective Date.
8.18 | Dissolution of the Committee. |
The Committee shall continue in existence until the later of (i) the 1 Month Anniversary Date or (ii) the Initial Distribution Date. Thereafter, the Committee shall be deemed dissolved and the members of the Committee shall be deemed discharged from all rights, duties and liabilities arising from, or related to, the Bankruptcy Cases.
ARTICLE 9
PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS
9.1 | Initial Distribution. |
As soon as reasonably practicable (as determined by Reorganized Accentia) after the Effective Date, Reorganized Accentia shall (i) make the Distributions required under the Plan to Holders of Allowed Administrative Expense Claims (including Allowed Administrative Expense Claims of Professionals) and Allowed Claims in Classes 7 and 11; provided, however, that the Distributions as to Allowed Administrative Expense Claims of Professionals shall be made no more than ten (10) days after the Effective Date; and (ii) issue the Plan Shares to the Holders of Allowed Claims in Classes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 13 as required by the terms of the Plan ((i) and (ii), collectively, the Initial Distribution). Thereafter, Reorganized Accentia shall make additional Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims as and when required by the terms of the Plan.
9.2 | Execution and Delivery of Plan Debentures, Plan Notes, Plan Warrants and Security Documents. |
On the Effective Date or the Determination Date, as the case may be, Reorganized Accentia shall execute and deliver the Plan Debentures, the Plan Notes, the Plan Warrants and the Security Documents.
9.3 | Determination of Claims. |
9.3.1 From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have the exclusive authority to, and shall, file, settle, compromise, withdraw, or litigate to judgment all objections to Claims. Except as to any late-filed Claims and Claims resulting from the rejection of executory
71
contracts or unexpired leases, if any, all objections to Claims shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court by no later than ninety (90) days following the Effective Date (unless such period is extended by the Bankruptcy Court upon motion of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors), and the Confirmation Order shall contain appropriate language to that effect. Holders of Unsecured Claims that have not filed such Claims on or before the Bar Date shall serve the Notice Parties with any request to the Bankruptcy Court for allowance to file late Unsecured Claims. If the Bankruptcy Court grants the request to file a late Unsecured Claim, such Unsecured Claim shall be treated in all respects as a Class 10 Unsecured Claim. Objections to late-filed Claims and Claims resulting from the rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases shall be filed on the later of (a) ninety (90) days following the Effective Date or (b) the date sixty (60) days after the Reorganized Debtors receive actual notice of the filing of such Claim.
9.3.2 Notwithstanding any authority to the contrary, an objection to a Claim shall be deemed properly served on the Holder of the Claim if the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, effect service in any of the following manners: (a) in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4, as modified and made applicable by Bankruptcy Rule 7004, (b) to the extent counsel for the Holder of a Claim is unknown, by first class mail, postage prepaid, on the signatory on the Proof of Claim or other representative identified on the Proof of Claim or any attachment thereto, or (c) by first class mail, postage prepaid, on any counsel that has filed a notice of appearance in the Bankruptcy Cases on behalf of the Holder of a Claim.
9.3.3 Disputed Claims shall be fixed or liquidated in the Bankruptcy Court as core proceedings within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(B) unless the Bankruptcy Court orders otherwise. If the fixing or liquidation of a contingent or unliquidated Claim would cause undue delay in the administration of the Bankruptcy Cases, such Claim shall be estimated by the Bankruptcy Court for purposes of allowance and Distribution. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may, at any time, request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any contingent or unliquidated Claim pursuant to Section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code regardless of whether the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors previously objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection. The Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim, including during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim, such estimated amount will constitute either the Allowed Amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on such Claim, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court. If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on such Claim, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate allowance of such Claim. The determination of Claims in Estimation Hearings shall be binding for purposes of establishing the maximum amount of the Claim for purposes of allowance and Distribution. All of the aforementioned Claims objection, estimation and resolution procedures are cumulative and not exclusive of one another. Procedures for specific Estimation Hearings, including provisions for discovery, shall be set by the Bankruptcy Court giving due consideration to applicable Bankruptcy Rules and the need for prompt determination of the Disputed Claim.

9.5.2 If a check for a Distribution made pursuant to the Plan to any Holder of an Allowed Claim is returned to Reorganized Accentia due to an incorrect or incomplete address for the Holder of such Allowed Claim, and no claim is made in writing to Reorganized Accentia as to such check within sixty (60) days of the date such Distribution was made, then the amount of Cash attributable to such check shall be deemed to be unclaimed, such Holder shall be deemed to have no further Claim in respect of such check, such Holders Allowed Claim shall no longer be deemed to be Allowed, and such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in any further Distributions under the Plan in respect of such Claim.

9.6 | Transfer of Claim. |
In the event that the Holder of any Claim shall transfer such Claim on and after the Effective Date, such Holder shall immediately advise the Reorganized Debtors in writing of such transfer and provide sufficient written evidence of such transfer. The Reorganized Debtors shall be entitled to assume that no transfer of any Claim has been made by any Holder unless and until the Reorganized Debtors shall have received written notice to the contrary. Each transferee of any Claim shall take such Claim subject to the provisions of the Plan and to any request made, waiver or consent given or other action taken hereunder and, except as otherwise expressly provided in such notice, the Reorganized Debtors shall be entitled to assume conclusively that the transferee named in such notice shall thereafter be vested with all rights and powers of the transferor under the Plan.
9.7 | One Distribution Per Holder. |
If the Holder of a Claim holds more than one Claim in any one Class, all Claims of such Holder in such Class shall be aggregated and deemed to be one Claim for purposes of Distribution hereunder, and only one Distribution shall be made with respect to the single aggregated Claim.
9.8 | Effect of Pre-Confirmation Distributions. |
Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to entitle the Holder of a Claim that received, prior to the Effective Date, full or partial payment of such Holders Claim, by way of settlement or otherwise, pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, provision of the Bankruptcy Code, or other means, to receive a duplicate payment in full or in part pursuant to the Plan; and all such full or partial payments shall be deemed to be payments made under the Plan for purposes of satisfying the obligations of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors to such Holder under the Plan.
9.9 | No Interest on Claims. |
Except as expressly stated in the Plan or otherwise Allowed by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, no Holder of an Allowed Claim shall be entitled to the accrual of Postpetition Interest or the payment of Postpetition Interest, penalties, or late charges on account of such Allowed Claim for any purpose.

9.10 | Determination of Voting and Distribution Rights of Holders of Equity Interests. |

The Debtors shall not have any obligation to recognize any transfers of Equity Interests occurring during the period from the Record Date until the Voting Deadline, but shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal with, for purposes of voting on the Plan, only those Holders of Equity Interests reflected on the books of the Transfer Agent as of the close of business on the Record Date.
9.10.3 In the event that a dispute with respect to the voting or distribution rights of the Holder of any Equity Interest exists as of the Record Date or as of the Effective Date, the Debtors or any other party in interest may apply to the Bankruptcy Court for a determination of such dispute.
9.11 | Fractional Shares. |
The Distribution of shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock as provided in the Plan may mathematically entitle the recipient to a fractional share of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, payments of fractions of shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock shall not be made and shall be deemed to be zero. No consideration (Cash or otherwise) shall be provided in lieu of fractional shares that are deemed to be zero.
9.12 | Certain Restrictions on Stock Transfers. |
Any shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock issued under the Plan to the Holder of an Allowed Claim in Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 13 and any shares of Biovest Common Stock issued under the Plan to the Holder of an Allowed Claim in Class 5 shall be subject to the following provisions: (a) any restrictions or limitations under Rule 144(e), (b) a limit on the sale of such shares in any ninety (90) day period to that number of such shares equal to one percent (1%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock (or Biovest Common Stock in the instance of an exchange into shares of Biovest Common Stock), (c) a prohibition on the sale of any such shares for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days following any debt or equity raise by Reorganized Accentia (or Biovest in the instance of an exchange into shares of Biovest Common Stock) of between $5,000,000.00 to $9,900,000.00, and (d) a prohibition on the sale of any such shares for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following any debt or equity raise by Reorganized Accentia (or Biovest in the instance of an exchange into shares of Biovest Common Stock) of $10,000,000.00 or more. The foregoing provisions will only be applicable to a holder of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock or a holder of Biovest Common Stock to the extent such
75
holder (together with its Affiliates) holds five percent (5%) or more of the Reorganized Accentia Common Stock or the Biovest Common Stock, as the case may be, at the time of the debt or equity raise transaction, unless the placement agent requires lock-up provisions for holders of less than five percent (5%) of such common stock who are similarly situated in terms of ownership with such holder. The Debtors do not believe that any Class 10 Unsecured Creditor will be subject to the provisions of this Article 9.12. During any lock-up period, the holder will be permitted to leak out shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock (or Biovest Common Stock) equal to one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of Reorganized Accentia Common Stock (or Biovest Common Stock) in any ninety (90) day period.

The Debtors and their respective Postpetition directors and officers, the Professionals for the Debtors (acting in such capacity), the Committee and its members, and the Professionals for the Committee (acting in such capacity) (collectively, the Exculpated Parties) shall neither have nor incur any liability whatsoever to any Person or Entity for any act taken or omitted to be taken in good faith in connection with or related to the formulation, preparation, dissemination, or confirmation of the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, any Plan Document, the Exit Financing, the Laurus/Valens Settlement, or any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created or entered into, or any other act taken or omitted to be taken, in connection with the Plan or the Bankruptcy Cases, in each case for the period on and after the Petition Date and through the Effective Date; provided, however, that this exculpation from liability provision shall not be applicable to any liability found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from fraud or the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any such party. With respect to Professionals, the foregoing exculpation from liability provision shall also include claims of professional negligence arising from the services provided by such Professionals during the Bankruptcy Cases.

With respect to Professionals, the foregoing exclusion from this release provision shall also include claims of professional negligence arising from the services provided by such Professionals during the Bankruptcy Cases. Any such claims shall be governed by the standard of care otherwise applicable to the standard of negligence claims outside of bankruptcy. The Confirmation Order shall enjoin the prosecution by any Person or Entity, whether directly, derivatively or otherwise, of any such claim, obligation, suit, judgment, damage, loss, right, remedy, cause of action, charge, cost, debt, indebtedness, or liability which arose or accrued during such period or was or could have been asserted against any of the Released Parties, except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order.

11.6 | No Liability for Tax Claims. |
Unless a taxing Governmental Unit has asserted a Claim against the Debtors before the Governmental Unit Bar Date or Administrative Expense Claim Bar Date established therefor, no Claim of such Governmental Unit shall be Allowed against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents for taxes, penalties, interest, additions to tax or other charges arising out of (i) the failure, if any, of the Debtors, any of their Affiliates, or any other Person or Entity to have paid tax or to have filed any tax return (including any income tax return or franchise tax return) in or for any prior year or period, or (ii) an audit of any return for a period before the Petition Date.
11.7 | Regulatory or Enforcement Actions. |
Nothing in this Plan shall restrict any federal government regulatory agency from pursuing any regulatory or police enforcement action or performing its statutory duties against any Person or Entity in any forum, but only to the extent not prohibited by the automatic stay of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or discharged or enjoined pursuant to Section 524 or 1141(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.

13.1 | Modification of Plan. |
13.1.1 The Debtors may modify the Plan at any time prior to the entry of the Confirmation Order provided that the Plan, as modified, and the Disclosure Statement meet applicable Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules requirements. Specifically, the Debtors may modify the Plan under this Article 13.1.1 to satisfy any requirements under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, including (a) to deem the Plan and the Biovest Plan to be joint plans or to deem Biovest to be a proponent of the Plan and participating in the Plan with the Debtors, and (b) to
84
shorten the term of any of the Plan Debentures and the Plan Notes, with the consent of the Committee. The modifications to the Plan described in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above shall be deemed non-material and to not materially adversely affect the interests, rights, or treatment of any Class of Claims or Equity Interests under the Plan.
13.1.2 After the entry of the Confirmation Order, the Debtors (prior to the Effective Date) or the Reorganized Debtors (on and after the Effective Date) may modify the Plan to remedy any defect or omission herein, or to reconcile any inconsistencies between the Plan and the Confirmation Order, as may be necessary to carry out the purposes and effects of the Plan, provided that (a) the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (as the case may be) obtain Bankruptcy Court approval for such modification, after notice to the Notice Parties and a hearing, and (b) such modification does not materially adversely affect the interests, rights, or treatment of any Class of Claims or Equity Interests under the Plan.
13.1.3 After the entry of the Confirmation Order and before substantial consummation of the Plan, the Debtors (prior to the Effective Date) or the Reorganized Debtors (on and after the Effective Date) may modify the Plan in a way that materially adversely affects the interests, rights, or treatment of a Class of Claims or Equity Interests, provided that (a) the Plan, as modified, meets applicable Bankruptcy Code requirements, (b) the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (as the case may be) obtain Bankruptcy Court approval for such modification, after notice to the Notice Parties and the Class of Claims or Equity Interests materially adversely affected and a hearing, (c) such modification is accepted by (i) at least two-thirds in dollar amount, and more than one-half in number, of the Allowed Claims actually voting in each Class of Claims adversely affected by such modification or (ii) at least two-thirds in amount of Allowed Equity Interests actually voting in each Class of Equity Interests adversely affected by such modification, and (d) the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (as the case may be) comply with Section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Plan, as modified.
13.1.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 13.1 or elsewhere in the Plan, the Plan may not be altered, amended or modified without the written consent of the Debtors (prior to the Effective Date) or the Reorganized Debtors (on and after the Effective Date) and Laurus/Valens.
13.2 | Confirmation Over Objections. |
In the event any Impaired Class of Claims or Equity Interests votes against the Plan, and the Plan is not revoked or withdrawn in accordance with Article 14.2, the Debtors hereby request, and shall be allowed, to modify the terms of the Plan to effect a cramdown on such dissenting Class by (a) restructuring the treatment of any Class on terms consistent with Section 1129(b)(2)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, or (b) deleting distributions to all Classes at or below the level of the objecting Class, or reallocating such distributions, until such impaired senior Classes are paid in accordance with the absolute priority rule of Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors may make such modifications or amendments to the Plan and such modifications or amendments shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on all parties in interest entitled to receive notice prior to the Confirmation Hearing. No such modifications shall require any resolicitation of acceptances as to the Plan by any Class of Claims or Equity Interests unless the Bankruptcy Court shall require
85
otherwise. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Debtors reserve any and all rights they may have to challenge the validity, perfection, priority, scope and extent of any Liens in respect to any Secured Claims and the amount of any Secured Claims, the Holders of which have not accepted the Plan.

14.12 | Successors and Assigns. |

88
Debtors, shall have the power to alter or 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 or provision of the Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is valid and enforceable.

To the extent the Confirmation Order or the Plan is inconsistent with the Disclosure Statement or any agreement entered into between the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors and any third party, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order or the Laurus/Valens Settlement Documents, the Confirmation Order and the Plan shall control over the Disclosure Statement and any such agreement. The Confirmation Order (and any other Final Orders of the Bankruptcy Court) shall be construed together and consistent with the terms of the Plan; provided, however, to the extent the Confirmation Order is inconsistent with the Plan, the Confirmation Order shall control over the Plan.
14.17 | Plan Supplement. |
