Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Total Capital Contribution shall be distributed or applied in the manner necessary to satisfy the costs, expenses and entitlements outlined herein on the Effective Date or at such other time as shall be ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.
4.2. Issuance of New Borrower Interests, New Borrower Parent Units and Rights.4.3. On the Effective Date, the Old Membership Interests shall be cancelled. The New Borrower Interests shall be issued to New Borrower Parent in accordance with the New Borrower LLC Agreement. The New Borrower Parent Units shall be issued to the Backstop Investors in accordance with the New Borrower Parent UPA and the New Borrower Parent LLC Agreement, subject to Distributions of the New Borrower Parent Units to (i) the Holders of Allowed Class 5 Claims, in the event Class 5 votes to accept the Plan, that elect the Equity Option, and (ii) the Class 6 Interest Holder, in the event Class 6 votes to accept the Plan, to the extent it elects to be the Class 6 Investor.
The Rights shall be issued as follows: (a) the Class 5 Rights to the Holders of Allowed Class 5 Claims, in the event Class 5 votes to accept the Plan, that elect the Equity Option; and (b) the Class 6 Rights to the Holder of the Old Membership Interests, in the event Class 6 votes to accept the Plan. Except as expressly agreed to otherwise by New Borrower or as provided in this Plan or the New Secured Loan Documents, beginning on the Effective Date, the Assets will be owned by New Borrower free and clear of all Liens (except for the Mortgage and any Liens for ad valorem taxes not yet due and payable and Permitted Encumbrances) and Claims (other than Claims which have been assumed by New Borrower), but subject to easements, restrictions, conditions and limitations of record that affected the title to the Property as of the Petition Date, any Liens securing Other Secured Claims that are reinstated or assumed by New Borrower, and any such matters arising after the Petition Date which have been approved by New Borrower. The Confirmation Order shall, among other things, constitute an Order authorizing the managers, officers, and agents of the Debtor, New Borrower, and New Borrower Parent to execute and deliver the Operative Documents, as applicable (to the extent they have not already been executed and delivered), including without limitation all documents necessary to, on or prior to the Effective Date, rename New Borrower as may be agreed by the Backstop Investors without requiring any further corporate authorizations and notwithstanding the requirements under any applicable non-bankruptcy law. The Confirmation Order shall, among other things, provide that: (i) the First Lien Lenders, New Borrower, New Borrower Parent, and the Investors have acted in good faith; (ii) the Distributions and/or consideration received by the Investors and the Holders of Allowed Claims shall not be subject to avoidance, turnover or disgorgement in any subsequent insolvency proceeding by any Entity; and (iii) the Mortgage constitutes a valid first priority Lien, subject only to any Permitted Encumbrances.
4.3. Assumption of Liabilities. On the Effective Date, and subject to any applicable bar dates described herein, unless such Claims shall be paid on or prior to such date, New Borrower shall be deemed to have assumed any Claim that is an Administrative Claim, a Priority Tax Claim, a Trade Unsecured Claim, or a Priority Claim (including any such Claims that are Disputed Claims or with respect to which any applicable period for asserting a Claim has not expired), and all Other Secured Claims will be reinstated and assumed by New Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the terms hereof. New Borrower shall be obligated to honor and satisfy all such assumed or reinstated Claims solely if and to the extent such Claims are Allowed Claims or become Allowed Claims. The failure of New Borrower to File an objection, prior to the Effective Date, with respect to any Other Secured Claim that is reinstated under the Plan or with respect to any Claims that are assumed by New Borrower hereunder shall be without prejudice to the rights of New Borrower or any other party-in-interest to contest or otherwise defend against such Claim in an appropriate forum (including the Bankruptcy Court or any other applicable state or federal court) when and if such Claim is sought to be enforced.
4.4. Adoption of New Borrower LLC Agreement. On the Effective Date and without further order of the Bankruptcy Court or need for corporate approval, the New Borrower LLC Agreement shall supersede and replace all other operating agreements previously governing the Debtor.
4.5. Management. Following the Effective Date, New Borrower shall be managed as provided in the New Borrower LLC Agreement and the New Property Management Agreement, and all managers, officers and other agents of the Debtor shall automatically be removed and terminated without further action by Debtor or New Borrower and without the requirement of further notice.

4.7. Exemption from Securities Laws. Pursuant to section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the issuance of securities under a chapter 11 plan in exchange for a claim against or interest in a debtor is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act). The issuance of the New Borrower Interests, the New Borrower Parent Units and the Rights satisfy the requirements of Bankruptcy Code section 1145(a) and therefore will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
4.8. Exemption from Certain Transfer Taxes and Further Transactions. Pursuant to section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the issuance or exchange of any security, or the making or delivery of any instrument of transfer under, in furtherance, or in connection with this Plan, including, but not limited to, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or other instruments of transfer (including those with respect to the Property), shall not be subject to any stamp tax, real estate transfer tax or similar tax.

6.6. Escheat. Holders of Allowed Claims shall have three (3) months from the check date to negotiate Distribution checks issued by the Distribution Agent under the terms of this Plan, otherwise payment on such checks may at the Distribution Agents sole discretion be stopped and the funds shall escheat to the Distribution Agent and shall be promptly distributed to New Borrower in accordance with section 347 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(a) Record Date for Distributions. On the Distribution Record Date, the Claims Register shall be closed and any Person responsible for making Distributions shall be authorized and entitled to recognize only those record Holders listed on the Claims Register as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Claim is transferred twenty or fewer days before the Distribution Record Date, the Distribution Agent shall make Distributions to the transferee only to the extent practical and in any event only if the relevant transfer form contains an unconditional and explicit certification and waiver of any objection to the transfer by the transferor.

Unless the Holder of the Allowed Claim relating to any such returned Cash Distribution contacts the Distribution Agent (or its designee) within three (3) months from the date on which such Cash Distribution was returned and provides the Distribution Agent (or its designee) with acceptable proof of identity and an accurate address, such Holder shall forfeit all rights thereto, and to any and all future Cash Distributions or rights under this Plan. In such event, the Claim for which such Cash Distributions was issued shall be treated as a Disallowed Claim and the Cash Distribution on account of such Disallowed Claim shall promptly be distributed to New Borrower.
6.9. Disputed Distributions.6.10. In the event of any dispute between or among Holders of Claims or Interests as to the right to any Holder of a Claim or Interest to receive or retain any Distribution to be made to such Holder under this Plan, the Distribution Agent or New Borrower, in lieu of making such Distribution to such Holder shall hold such Distribution pending the resolution thereof.
Any party-in-interest that fails to raise such dispute by filing an appropriate request for relief with the Bankruptcy Court prior to the issuance of such disputed Distribution by the Distribution Agent shall be deemed to have forever waived any right to dispute such Distribution or to enjoin, impair or otherwise restrict the use of any such Distribution.
6.10. Setoffs. The Distribution Agent may, but shall not be required to, set-off against any Cash Distributions to be made pursuant to this Plan to a Holder of an Allowed Claim, Claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtor may have, or may have had, against such Holder that have not been previously released, but neither the failure to do so, nor the allowance of any Claim held by such Holder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Distribution Agent of any such Claim Debtor may have, or may have had, against such Holder.
6.11. Withholding Taxes.6.12. The Distribution Agent shall be entitled to deduct any applicable federal or state withholding taxes from any payments made with respect to Allowed Claims, as appropriate, and shall otherwise comply with section 346 of the Bankruptcy Code. In connection with the consummation of the Plan, the Distribution Agent shall comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority and all Distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. In the event that any Holder of an Allowed Claim fails to provide the Distribution Agent with tax or withholding information (such as a completed W-9 form) within three (3) months from the date of the Distribution Agents initial request for such information from such Holder, then such Holder shall forfeit any and all rights to receive any distribution otherwise provided for under this Plan.
6.12. Allocation of Distributions.6.13. Distributions on account of Allowed Claims shall, for tax purposes, be treated as allocated first to principal, and thereafter to interest only to the extent that the entire principal amount has been recovered, if applicable.

ARTICLE VIII
EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES
8.1. Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code approving the contract and lease assumptions for all Assumed Contracts, which shall automatically be deemed assumed by New Borrower as of the Effective Date.
8.2. Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. Any of the Assumed Contracts that are, or may be, alleged to be in default, shall be Cured either in the ordinary course of business or on the Effective Date. Except with respect to Assumed Contracts with respect to which the Debtor, New Borrower, and the applicable counterparties have stipulated in writing the appropriate Cure, all requests of Cure that differ from the Cure amounts calculated by Debtor and treatment proposed by New Borrower, as set forth in the Schedule of Assumed Contracts, must be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court on or before the Cure Bar Date. Any request for payment or other Cure that is not timely Filed shall be disallowed automatically and forever barred from assertion and shall not be enforceable against the Debtor or New Borrower, without the need for any objection by the Debtor or New Borrower or further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and any Claim for Cure shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged upon payment by the Debtor or New Borrower of the amounts listed on the proposed Cure schedule, notwithstanding anything included in the Schedules or in any Proof of Claim to the contrary. The Debtor or New Borrower also may settle any Cure without further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
If a counterparty objects to any Cure or any other matter related to assumption, the Bankruptcy Court shall determine the Allowed amount of such Cure and any related issues. If there is a dispute regarding such Cure, the ability of New Borrower to provide adequate assurance of future performance within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any other matter pertaining to assumption, then the Cure shall occur as soon as reasonably practicable after entry of an order resolving such dispute, approving such assumption, or as may be agreed upon by Debtor, New Borrower and the counterparty to the Assumed Contract, with the consent of First Lien Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or denied. Any counterparty to an Assumed Contract that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption of any such contract or unexpired lease will be deemed to have consented to such assumption. Debtor and New Borrower reserve the right either to reject or nullify the assumption of any executory contract or unexpired lease no later than thirty (30) days after a Final Order determining the Cure or any request for adequate assurance of future performance required to assume such executory contract or unexpired lease.
Assumption of any Assumed Contract pursuant to this Plan or otherwise shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Claims or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults with respect to provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any Assumed Contract at any time prior to the effective date of assumption. Any Proofs of Claim Filed with respect to an Assumed Contract that has been assumed shall be deemed disallowed and expunged, without further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
8.3. Rejection Claims. Any Holder of a Claim whose Claim arises from the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease with Debtor shall have the rights of Holder of a Trade Unsecured Claim and shall receive the treatment provided to Holders of Class 4.

Any Person or Entity who believes they are entitled to assert a Claim against the Debtor by virtue of the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease pursuant to this Article VIII or a Final Order entered after the Confirmation Date, may File a Claim with the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court not later than twenty (20) days after the date of any such rejection or such later time as may be set forth for the filing of such Claim in said Final Order. If such Claim is not so Filed, it shall be forever barred from assertion against New Borrower or any of the Assets. Nothing in this Section 8.4 shall affect the right of any party-in-interest to object to any Claim which has been improperly Filed or not Filed on a timely basis.
8.5. Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements, or Other Agreements. Each Assumed Contract shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements that in any manner affect such Assumed Contract, and all executory contracts and unexpired leases related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated under this Plan.
Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to pre-petition executory contracts and unexpired leases that have been executed by Debtor during the Chapter 11 Case shall not be deemed to alter the pre-petition nature of the executory contract or unexpired lease, or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.
8.6. Reservation of Rights. Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any contract or lease in the Plan Supplement, nor anything contained in this Plan, shall constitute an admission by Debtor or any other party that any such contract or lease is in fact an executory contract or unexpired lease or that the Debtor or New Borrower has any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption or rejection, Debtor and New Borrower shall have thirty (30) days following entry of the relevant order to resolve such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.
