FINDINGS OF FACT. A. JURISDICTION AND VENUE. DataVoN filed an emergency voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on September 30, 2002 ("DataVoN's Petition Date"). The next day, on October 1, 2002, the other Debtors filed their emergency voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Since each of the Debtors filed its voluntary petition, it has continued to operate its business and manage its property as debtor-in-possession pursuant to 11 U.S.C. (S)(S) 1107 and 1108. Each Debtor was and is qualified to be a debtor under section 109(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The principal place of business of the Debtors is in Dallas County, Texas. Accordingly, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. (S) 1408, venue in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, for Debtors' reorganization cases was proper as of the Petition Date and continues to be proper. B. COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 1129 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. 1. Section 1129(a)(1) - Compliance of the Plan with Applicable Provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. - ---------- /4/ This Confirmation Order constitutes the Bankruptcy Court's findings of fact and conclusions of law under Fed. R. Civ. P. 52, as made applicable by Bankruptcy Rules 7052 and 9014. Any finding of fact shall constitute a finding of fact even if it is stated as a conclusion of law, and any conclusion of law shall constitute a conclusion of law even if it is stated as a finding of fact. PAGE 3 The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, as required by section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 1122 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. a. Sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1)-(4) - Classifications and Treatment of Claims and Interests. Pursuant to sections 1122(a) and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan designates Classes of Claims and Interests, other than Administrative Claims./5/ As required by section 1122(a), each Class of Claims and Interests contains only Claims or Interests that are substantially similar to the other Claims and Interests within that Class. Claims are classified separately in Class 1 through Class 4. Interests are classified separately in Class 5. Such classification is proper under section 1122(a) of the Bankruptcy Code because such Claims and Interests have differing rights among each other and against the assets of the Debtors. Pursuant to section 1123(a)(2) and (3) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article IV of the Plan specifies the treatment of all Classes of Claims and Interests that are not impaired under the Plan and specifies the treatment of all Classes of Claims and Interests that are impaired under the Plan. Pursuant to section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article IV of the Plan also provides the same treatment for each Claim or Interest within a particular Class, unless the holder of a Claim or Interest agrees to less favorable treatment of its Claim or Interest. b. Section 1123(a)(5) - Adequate Means for Implementation and Execution of the Plan. Article V of the Plan and various other provisions of the Plan provide adequate means for the Plan's implementation. Those provisions relate to, among other things: (i) the sale - ---------- /5/ Pursuant to section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, classes of Administrative Claims are not required to be designated. PAGE 4 to the Successful Purchaser of substantially all of the assets of the Debtors; (ii) the consummation of the sale to the Successful Purchaser; (iii) the initial selection of a Trustee and Liquidating Trust Board for the Liquidating Trust; (iv) the distribution of cash to the Holders of Allowed Claims from the Liquidating Trust; and (v) the adoption, execution, delivery and/or implementation of all contracts, leases, instruments, releases, and other agreements or documents related to the foregoing. On May 30, 2003, the Debtors Closed the Sale of substantially all of the assets of the Debtors to Transcom pursuant to the terms of that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated April 25, 2003 (the "APA Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the APA Agreement, the Liquidating Trust and the Debtors will have sufficient cash to make all payments required to be made on and after the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of the Plan. The Liquidating Trust succeeds to all of the rights and obligations of the Debtors under the APA Agreement, as well as any other approved and prevailing stipulation binding the Debtors./6/ c. Section 1123(a)(6) - Prohibition Against the Issuance of Nonvoting Equity Securities. The Plan does not contemplate the issuance of nonvoting equity securities. d. Section 1123(a)(7) - Selection of Directors and Officers in a Manner Consistent with the Interests of Creditors and Equity Security Holders and Public Policy. Article V.B. of the Plan provides for the creation of a Liquidating Trust governed by a Trust Agreement as set forth in attached Exhibit B,/7/ selection of a Trustee of the Liquidating Trust and the selection of the directors of the Liquidating Trust Board. The Official Unsecured - ---------- /6/ Such stipulations include those with Cisco and Sunrise. /7/ The Joint Plan, with technical corrections is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Trust Agreement is attached to the Plan as Exhibit 1. PAGE 5 Creditors Committee (the "Committee") have identified the Trustee as Dan B. Lain and Lain, Faulkner & Co., P.C. firm, and the initial Liquidating Trust Board members./8/ e. Section 1123(b)(1)-(2) - Impairment of Claims and Interests and Assumption, Assumption and Assignment, or Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. In accordance with section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article IV of the Plan impairs or leaves unimpaired, as the case may be, each Class of Claims and Interests. In accordance with section 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article VI of the Plan provides for the assumption, assumption and assignment, or rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases that have not been previously assumed, assumed and assigned, or rejected pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and appropriate authorizing orders of this Bankruptcy Court. f. Section 1123(b)(3) - Retention, Enforcement, and Settlement of Claims Held by Debtor. Article V of the Plan provides that upon the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trust will retain and may enforce any unassigned claims, demands, rights, and causes of action that the Debtors or their Estates may hold against any entity. All claims and causes of action of the Debtors not resolved, assigned or abandoned by the Debtors and/or the Committee prior to the Effective Date of the Plan (collectively, the "Debtor Actions") shall be transferred to the Trust, and the Trustee shall have the right, duty and standing to prosecute such claims and causes of action or to assert such claims and causes of action as counterclaims against Claimants. All Debtor Actions are hereby preserved for the benefit of the Liquidating Trust. Upon and after the Effective Date, all Debtor Action recoveries shall be the property of the Liquidating Trust. Prosecution and settlement of the Debtor Actions shall be the exclusive responsibility of the - ---------- /8/ Pursuant to the Technical Corrections Motion, Focal Communications is conditionally added as an additional PAGE 6 Liquidating Trustee who may pursue the Debtor Actions in the name of the Debtors, or in the name of the Committee, as the case may be. The Liquidating Trust shall have sole and absolute discretion over whether to prosecute such causes of action. To the extent permitted by law, all rights under (S) 363(h) of the Bankruptcy Code are also preserved for the benefit of the holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims in Classes 3 and 4 for use in the disposition of jointly-owned Property, if any. All such rights shall remain with the Liquidating Trust after the Effective Date. Failure of the Debtors and/ or the Committee to prosecute any and all Debtor Actions shall not prejudice the rights, if any, of its successors in interest thereto to commence or continue such Debtor Actions. The Liquidating Trust may pursue such retained claims, demands, rights, or causes of action, as it deems appropriate. Under the Plan and the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Purchased Assets, which constitute substantially all of the Debtors' assets, excluding the Excluded Assets and the Debtor Actions, were sold, transferred and assigned to Transcom Communications, Inc., the Purchaser, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances. g. Section 1123(b)(5) - Modification of the Rights of Holders of Claims. The Plan modifies, or leaves unaffected, as the case may be, the rights of holders of Claims in each Class. h. Section 1123(b)(6) - Other Provisions Not Inconsistent with Applicable Provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan includes additional appropriate provisions that are not inconsistent with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including: (i) the provisions of Article V of the Plan regarding the means for implementing the Plan; (ii) the provisions of Article VI of the Plan - ---------- Liquidating Trust Board member. PAGE 7 governing the assumption, assumption and assignment, or rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases; (iii) the provisions of Article VII of the Plan governing distributions on account of Allowed Claims particularly as to the timing and calculation of amounts to be distributed; (iv) the provisions of Article VIII of the Plan establishing procedures for resolving Disputed Claims and making distributions on account of such Disputed Claims once resolved; (v) the provisions of Article XI of the Plan regarding the discharge of Claims; (vi) the provisions of Article XII of the Plan regarding retention of jurisdiction by the Bankruptcy Court over certain matters subsequent to the Effective Date; and (vii) the provisions of Article XIII of the Plan providing for, among other things, modification and revocation of the Plan and the severability of provisions of the Plan. i. Section 1123(d) - Cure of Defaults. The Plan constitutes a motion by the Debtors, which is hereby approved and authorized, pursuant to (S) 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, to reject any and all Executory Contracts/9/ of the Debtors, except those which: (i) before the Confirmation Date, have been assumed (or previously assumed and assigned to other parties under prior orders of this Court) by separate Order of the Court; or (ii) on the Confirmation Date are the subject of a pending motion to assume (or to assume and assign), filed by the Debtors prior to the Confirmation Date which motion is thereafter granted by the Court; or (iii) are listed on the Exhibit A list attached to this Order,/10/ of the Contracts and Leases to be assumed by the Debtors and assigned to the Purchaser. Any - ---------- /9/ In addition to other rejected Executory Contracts, the Sunrise Leases, as defined in the "Term Sheet" agreement, attached to docket entry 335 in this case that was approved by Order entered April 8, 2003 and docketed as entry 352 are rejected. Nothing in the Plan or this Confirmation Order modifies or limits the rights of Sunrise to assert claim(s) for rejection damages, including for equipment not returned, and nothing herein limits the rights and defenses of the Debtors and/or the Liquidating Trust regarding same. /10/ Exhibit A to the Sale Order contains a listing of the cure amounts for each assumed contract or lease, and a copy of the same Exhibit A is attached to and incorporated in this Order. PAGE 8 deposits relating to Executory Contracts that are assumed and assigned shall be and are hereby assigned to the Purchaser. The Plan constitutes a motion by the Debtors, pursuant to (S) 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, for the Debtors to assume and assign certain executory contracts and the Purchaser shall pay any cure amounts for the specifically assumed and assigned Executory Contracts and leases described in attached Exhibit A. Article VI of the Plan provides for the satisfaction of cure payments associated with each executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed and assigned pursuant to the Plan in accordance with section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, with all such cure payments to be paid by the Purchaser. The Debtors and the Purchaser are deemed to have given adequate assurance of future performance of all such assumed and assigned contracts and leases. 2. Section 1129(a)(2) - Compliance with Applicable Provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors have complied with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, as required by section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, including section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules 3017 and 3018. The Disclosure Statement and the procedures by which the ballots for acceptance or rejection of the Plan were solicited and tabulated were fair, properly conducted, and in accordance with sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 3017 and 3018, and the Disclosure Statement Order. The Debtors and their directors, officers, employees, agents, and professionals have acted in "good faith," within the meaning of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. 3. Section 1129(a)(3) - Proposal of the Plan in Good Faith. The Debtors proposed their joint Plan in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law. In determining that the Plan has been proposed in good faith, the Bankruptcy PAGE 9 Court has examined the totality of the circumstances surrounding the formulation of the Plan. Based on the uncontroverted evidence presented at the Confirmation Hearing, the Bankruptcy Court finds and concludes that the Plan has been proposed with the legitimate and honest purpose of reorganizing the business affairs of the Debtors and maximizing the returns available to the Claimants of the Debtors. Moreover, the Plan itself and the arms' length negotiations among the Debtors, the Committee, and other creditors leading to the Plan's formulation, as well as the overwhelming support of Claimants for the Plan, provide independent evidence of Debtors' good faith in proposing the Plan. 4. Section 1129(a)(4) - Bankruptcy Court Approval of Certain Payments as Reasonable. a. Article V.B. of the Plan provides that Requests for the payment of Administrative Claims must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on the Trustee no later than the Administrative Claims Bar Date./11/ Applications by Professionals for the payment of Fee Claims must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served in accordance with Fee Procedure Order no later than the Administrative Claims Bar Date./12/ Failure to file such requests or applications prior to the Administrative Claims Bar Date shall forever bar the recovery of such Claims against the Debtors, the Trustee, the Trust, or the Assets. Upon and after the Effective Date, all professionals hired by the Trustee, and all professionals seeking reimbursement of fees and expenses from the Liquidating Trust, shall follow the fee guidelines of the Northern District of Texas as they have been implemented during the pendency of these Bankruptcy Cases - ---------- /11/ The Debtors have testified that $344,860.54 was paid at Closing for the previously approved employee stay put bonuses, and that $440,000 has been made available at Closing to pay the Cisco administrative claim within 72 hours of Closing. There are fee payments to Debtor's counsel and Committee counsel that are also reported due in the ordinary course, and the Debtors and/or the Liquidating Trust are authorized to pay such unobjectionable amounts as they come due. /12/ The Administrative Claims Bar Date is sixty (60) days after the Effective Date. PAGE 10 (payment of 80% of fees and 100% of expenses upon expiration of fifteen days without objection after the mailing of such fee statements to the Liquidating Trust Board and the Trustee). All such professionals shall file fee applications with the Bankruptcy Court to be noticed for hearing to all parties on the Master Service List filed by the Debtors on or after May 23, 2003, and other than as permitted herein, the Trustee shall not be entitled to pay such expenses without approval by the Bankruptcy Court. In connection with the foregoing, Article XII of the Plan provides that the Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction after the Effective Date to hear and determine all requests for compensation or reimbursement of expenses for professionals. 5. Section 1129(a)(5) Disclosure of Identity of Proposed Management, Compensation of Insiders, and Consistency of Management Proposals with the Interests of Creditors and Public Policy. On the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trust Board (the "Trust Board") shall be established that shall consist of the members of the Creditors' Committee who wish to serve on the Board along with a representative of Focal Communications but only if Focal has a claim on the Effective Date. The Trust Board operating by the majority vote shall have the power to direct the activities of the Trustee. In particular, and not by way of limitation, the Trust Board shall have the power to (a) review and approve the payment of all professional fees and expenses prior to payment thereof by the Trustee, and (b) review and approve any settlements proposed by the Trustee involving litigation claims which seek recovery in excess of $25,000. The Trust Board may operate with as few as two (2) members. In the event that two (2) members of the Creditors' Committee are unable or unwilling to serve as members of the Trust Board, then the Trustee may appoint any replacements for such members, first from the list of any alternate designees filed PAGE 11 with and approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The appointment of the proposed directors and Trustee is consistent with the interests of holders of Claims and public policy. 6. Section 1129(a)(6) - Approval of Rate Changes. As a result of the Sale and the Confirmation the Debtors business operations have ceased and hence the provisions of section 1129(a)(6) are not applicable in these cases. 7. Section 1129(a)(7) - Best Interests of Holders of Claims and Interests. With respect to each impaired Class of Claims or Interests, each holder of a Claim or Interest in such impaired Class has accepted the Plan or, as demonstrated by the liquidation analysis and other evidence presented at the Confirmation Hearing, will receive or retain under the Plan on account of such Claim or Interest property of a value, as of the Effective Date, that is not less than the amount such holder would receive or retain if the Debtors were liquidated on the Effective Date under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. 8. Section 1129(a)(8) - Acceptance of the Plan by Each Impaired Class. Pursuant to sections 1124 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code: (a) as indicated in Article III of the Plan, Class 1 is unimpaired and is deemed to have accepted the Plan; and (b) as indicated in the Voting Declaration, all other impaired Classes of Claims have accepted or have been deemed to have accepted the Plan./13/ To the extent that such requirement has not been met, the Debtors have asked for confirmation of the Plan pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code as fair and equitable with respect to each class. 9. Section 1129(a)(9) - Treatment of Claims Entitled to Priority Pursuant to Section 507(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. PAGE 12 The Plan provides for the treatment of Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims, and Allowed Priority Claims in the manner required by section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code. Allowed Administrative Claims, to the extent not previously paid during the Cases, shall be either (1) paid in full, in Cash, on or after the Effective Date by the Purchaser pursuant to the Liabilities Assumption Agreement (or on the Allowance Date with respect to Disputed Claims), or (2) paid in full, in Cash, on or after the Effective Date by the Liquidating Trust as to those Allowed Administrative Claims not expressly assumed by the Purchaser pursuant to the Liabilities Assumption Agreement (or on the Allowance Date with respect to Disputed Claims), or (3) they shall be paid by the Liquidating Trust in the ordinary course. Any trade or other payables that are current obligations shall be paid in full, in cash, in the ordinary course of business or, to the extent not paid on or before the Confirmation Date, assumed by the Purchaser and paid in the ordinary course of business. Upon the Effective Date, the Purchaser will pay all amounts necessary to cure the defaults of any Executory Contracts assumed by the Debtors and assigned to the Purchaser. Allowed Priority Claims (1) will be paid in full, in Cash, on the Effective Date, or upon Allowance, by the Liquidating Trust (or by the Liquidating Trust on the Allowance Date with respect to Disputed Claims), or (2) will receive such other treatment as may be agreed to in writing by such Claimant and the Liquidating Trust, or (3) will be assumed by the Purchaser and paid in the ordinary course of business. Unless paid upon the Effective Date, or in some manner otherwise agreed to, the Class 1 Priority Tax Claims shall be assumed and paid by the Liquidating Trust once the Claim is Allowed. The statutory liens, if any, held by taxing authorities to secure Allowed Priority Tax Claims shall continue in full force - ---------- /13/ There were no votes cast in the Zydeco unsecured class 4C. The Debtor believes that the vote should be considered in favor of the Plan. In any event, the Court can approve the Plan under the section 1129 Cram Down PAGE 13 and effect and shall not be deemed released or discharged by Confirmation. All Class 1 Claimants are hereby enjoined and prohibited from initiating any applicable "responsible person" claims against former or current officers, directors or employees of the Debtors, the Liquidating Trust, or the Purchaser, except as further set forth herein. 10. Section 1129(a)(10) - Acceptance By at Least One Impaired Class. As indicated in the Voting Declaration and as reflected in the record of the Confirmation Hearing, at least one Class of Claims or Interests that is impaired under the Plan has accepted the Plan, determined without including any acceptance of the Plan by any insider. 11. Section 1129(a)(11) - Feasibility of the Plan. This is a liquidating plan. The Sale to Transcom of substantially all of the Debtors' assets Closed on May 30, 2003, and the Debtors hold cash and Notes/14/ sufficient to pay all currently due remaining obligations of the Debtors (and/or Liquidating Trust), as well as to have sufficient funds to make a distribution to unsecured creditors. Since each Note obligation has a corresponding perfected secured interest in collateral of the Debtors, the Liquidating Trust has sufficient means to enforce payment of the Notes by the Purchaser should the Purchaser hereafter default. Therefore, although the VoIP business is highly competitive, and although it is impossible to predict with certainty the future profitability of the VoIP industry, even if the Purchaser subsequently defaults in payment of the Notes, the Plan is feasible and Confirmation is not likely to be followed by the inability of the Liquidating Trust to meet its obligations under the Plan. - ---------- provisions. /14/ At Closing, the Debtors received allocated and unallocated cash in the sum of $2,460,914.81, plus the Transcom offsetting Note, a secured promissory Note in the original principal balance of $1.5 million, payable in 7 equal PAGE 14 12. Section 1129(a)(12) - Payment of Bankruptcy Fees. The Plan provides that, on or after the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trust shall timely pay all fees to the United States Trustee pursuant to 28 U.S.C. (S) 1930(a) when they become due. 13. Section 1129(a)(13) - Retiree Benefits. The Debtor's SIMPLE 401(k) Plan (the "401(k) Plan") shall be discontinued on or after the Effective Date, and all 401(k) Plan beneficiaries shall take possession of their individual 401(k) Plan accounts. The current 401(k) Plan administrator, Carolyn Malone, is hereby authorized to, and shall, take all necessary steps to terminate the 401(k) Plan on or after the Effective Date. Neither the Debtors, nor the Liquidating Trust, shall have any liability for the 401(k) Plan. 14. Bankruptcy Rule 3016(b). The Plan and modifications are dated and identify the party submitting the Plan and modifications. The Technical Corrections to the Plan are hereby approved in all respects and are incorporated into the Plan for all purposes. 15. Section 1129(d) - Purpose of Plan. The primary purpose of the Plan is not the avoidance of taxes or avoidance of the requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act, and there has been no objection filed by any governmental unit asserting such avoidance. - ---------- monthly payments at 10% interest, a secured Liabilities Assumption Agreement in which all administrative claims other than for Professional Fees are assumed by the Purchaser, and an unsecured Focal Claim Note for $200,000. PAGE 15 16. Releases All releases of Claims and causes of action against non-debtor persons or entities that are embodied within the Plan are fair, equitable, and in the best interests of the Debtors and their estates. 17. Satisfaction Of Conditions To Confirmation. Each of the conditions precedent to the entry of this Confirmation Order has been satisfied. 18. Modifications To The Plan. The Debtors have filed its Technical Corrections Motion containing modifications to the Plan (the "Modifications"), which Modifications do not constitute a material alteration of the Plan. II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW. A. JURISDICTION AND VENUE. The Bankruptcy Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. (S)(S) 157 and 1134. This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. (S) 157(b)(2). The Debtors were, and are, qualified to be debtors under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code. Venue of Debtors' cases in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, was proper as of the Petition Date, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. (S) 1408, and continues to be proper. B. MODIFICATIONS OF THE PLAN. The notice provided by Debtors of the Modifications was adequate and appropriate under the circumstances and, accordingly, shall be, and hereby is, approved. The Modifications: (1) comply in all respects with section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rule 3019, and all other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code; and (2) do not adversely change the PAGE 16 treatment under the Plan of any Claims or Interests. In light of the technical and immaterial nature of each of the Modifications, no additional disclosure under section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code is required with respect to the Modifications. Accordingly, pursuant to section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019, all holders of Claims and Interests that have accepted or are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan, are deemed to have accepted the Modifications and the Plan. C. EXEMPTION FROM SECURITIES LAWS. Pursuant to section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors' transmittal of the Plan solicitation packages and its solicitation of acceptances of the Plan is not governed by nor subject to, any otherwise applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of securities. Accordingly, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Committee, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, and professionals (acting in such capacity) are entitled to the protection of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. D. EXEMPTION FROM TAXATION. All transfers contemplated herein, whether by the Purchaser Transcom, or by the Liquidating Trust, shall be free and clear of any and all transfer taxes from which the transfer of property is exempt pursuant to section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant to section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, all filing officers (including without limitation those state, county, city, parish and local authorities of Texas, or any of the United States) are directed to accept for recording or filing, and to record or file, any documents which are intended to be recorded or filed and which are presented to them for recording or filing immediately upon presentation thereof, and such filing or recordation of any of such documents are exempt from, and shall not be taxed under, any state or local law imposing a recording tax, stamp tax, transfer PAGE 17 tax, sales tax, or similar tax. Pursuant to the Plan, the Transcom Purchaser and the Liquidating Trust is empowered to execute, and all state, county, city, parish and local authorities of the United States, including without limitation those of Texas, are authorized and directed to accept for filing, and to record, any and all appropriate and necessary documentation, including a certified copy of the Plan and the Confirmation Order, to evidence the sale, transfer, assumption, assignment, rejection, cancellation, termination, release or discharge of any and all property interests contemplated herein. Pursuant to section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code: (1) the creation or transfer of any mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest; (2) the making or assignment of any lease or sublease; (3) or the making or delivery of any deed or other instrument of transfer under, in furtherance of or in connection with the Plan, including any agreements or consolidation, deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assumptions, or delegations of any asset, property, right, liability, duty, or obligation; or (4) the making or delivery of any instruments of transfer executed in connection with any foregoing, shall not be subject to any stamp tax, sales tax, real estate transfer tax, or similar tax and the appropriate state or local government 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 recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment. E. COMPLIANCE WITH CRAMDOWN PROVISIONS OF SECTION 1129(b) OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. As set forth in Section I.B of this Confirmation Order, the Plan complies in all respects with the applicable requirements of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. However, to the extent that the Debtors have failed to comply with the requirements of section 1129 (a)(8), PAGE 18 the Debtors have otherwise complied with all other provisions of section 1129, and the Debtors have asked for confirmation of the Plan under the so-called cramdown provisions of section 1129(b). Cramdown of the Plan is appropriate since the Plan does not discriminate unfairly, and the Plan is fair and equitable with respect to each class of claims or interests. Specifically, as to secured claimants, the Debtors have demonstrated compliance with section 1129(b)(2)(A) in that the Debtors have sufficient cash on hand to pay the allowed amount of the Barton claim and other secured claimants as of the Effective Date of the Plan. Secured Claimant Terrell has agreed to his treatment under the Plan. In addition, Transcom's secured claim has been resolved by the Transcom offsetting Note obligation and related Subordination Agreement. As to unsecured claimants, the Debtors have demonstrated compliance with section 1129(b)(2)(B)(ii) in that no junior class will receive any disbursement under the Plan since all equity interests are cancelled under the Plan. The Debtors have also demonstrated compliance with section 1129(b)(2)(C)(ii) in that no junior class of interest holders will receive any disbursement under the Plan since all equity interests are cancelled under the Plan. Finally, it appears that virtually all creditors have voted in favor of the Plan and believe that the Plan will provide them a better distribution than would otherwise be available should the Plan not be confirmed. Therefore, the debtors have met, and the Court hereby accepts confirmation of the Plan under the Cram down provisions of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. PAGE 19 F. AGREEMENTS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS. The Debtors have disclosed all material facts regarding the sale of assets to the Purchaser. Nothing herein shall modify the terms of those certain stipulations by and between the Debtors, Cisco and Sunrise. III. ORDER. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED THAT: A. CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN. The Plan and each of its provisions shall be, and hereby is, confirmed in each and every respect pursuant to section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that if there is any direct conflict between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Confirmation Order, the terms of this Confirmation Order shall control.

PAGE 25 I. Preservation of the Debtors' Affirmative Claims. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the allowance of any pre-petition Claim, the resolution of any Disputed Claim, or the payment of such Claims shall not, absent an express contrary ruling by the Court, operate as a bar, by application of the principles of res judicata or collateral estoppel, to the recovery of pre-petition Claims or the exercise of any right of setoff held by the Debtors, succeeded to by the Liquidating Trustee, with respect to the Claims held by the affected Claimants. To the extent such right of offset is not resolved in the Claim objection process, any affected Claimant (and the Liquidating Trustee, in the shoes of the Debtors) shall retain its right of offset of mutual claims as provided in section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code. J. Releases Except as otherwise provided in the Plan and this Confirmation Order, or except as to acts or omissions which are the result of fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct or willful violation of federal or state securities laws or the Internal Revenue Code, any consideration distributed under the Plan to creditors shall be in full exchange for and in complete satisfaction, discharge and release of all Claims, Liens, encumbrances, causes of action, demands, and lawsuits of any Creditor or Interest Holder against the Debtors, or their post-petition officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys (other than those persons who were insiders of Transcom prior to the Closing of the Sale of substantially all of the Debtors assets) and such Claims and Liens are deemed to be extinguished, released, compromised, settled, and discharged, and shall not be asserted or pursued in any manner against the Debtors, or the Liquidating Trust (except for those liabilities expressly retained or assumed by the Liquidating Trust), or their post-petition officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys (other than those persons who were insiders of Transcom prior to the Closing of the Sale of substantially all of the Debtors assets) PAGE 26 after the Effective Date of the Plan. Subject to Sections 524 and 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, the releases described herein shall not preclude police, federal, tax, or regulatory agencies from fulfilling their statutory duties. On the Effective Date, all parties receiving and providing releases herein shall execute a general release, provided that failure to execute such general release shall in no way limit or affect the release granted hereunder, provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall effect or release any rights of Verizon. Except as otherwise provided, all injunctions or stays provided for in the Cases pursuant to (S)(S) 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise existing on the Confirmation Date shall remain in full force and effect to the extent allowed by the Bankruptcy Code and applicable law.

Final Order. This is a final Order and is effective immediately upon entry, and this Court hereby authorizes the transactions contemplated hereunder to close immediately, thereby waiving the requirements of Bankruptcy Rule 6004(g).

AND VIDEO INTELLIGENCE, INC. - Page 32 EXHIBIT 1 TO THE JOINT PLAN TRUST AGREEMENT This TRUST AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), effective as of the th day of June, -- 2003, by and between the Estates of DataVoN, Inc., DTVN Holdings, Inc., Zydeco Exploration, Inc. and Video Intelligence, Inc. (collectively, the "Debtors"), and Dan B. Lain, individually (the "Trustee"). WHEREAS, on or about September 30 and October 1, 2002, the Debtors filed their respective voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, initiating bankruptcy cases, now jointly administered under case no. 02-38600-SAF-11 (the "Case") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (the "Bankruptcy Court"); and WHEREAS, the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order in the Case on June , -- 2003, confirming the Joint Plan of Reorganization of DataVoN, Inc., DTVN Holdings, Inc., Zydeco Exploration, Inc. and Video Intelligence, Inc. (the "Plan") /17/; and WHEREAS, the Plan provides for (i) the transfer of the Cash Proceeds (as defined in the Plan) and the Remaining Assets (as defined in the Plan) (collectively, the "Trust Assets") to the Trust (the "Trust"), a newly created liquidating trust, (ii) the management, safekeeping, and orderly liquidation of the Trust Assets by the Trustee, (iii) the distribution to the Trust's creditors and other beneficiaries of the Trust (including, but not limited to, holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests of the Debtors) of the net proceeds from the sale, lease, or other disposition of all or part of the Trust Assets, and (iv) the ultimate distribution of any remaining proceeds (or, if such assets cannot be sold, the distribution thereof) to the creditors and other beneficiaries of the Trust (including, but not limited to, holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests of the Debtors) in accordance with the Plan upon termination of the Trust; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants herein contained, and in order to comply with the terms and conditions of the Plan, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows: - ---------- /17/ All capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan. PAGE 33 I. CREATION OF THE TRUST 1.01 Purpose of Trust. The Debtors, in compliance with the Plan, hereby constitute and create the Trust for the primary purpose of liquidating the Trust Assets in an orderly fashion; distributing the net proceeds from the sale, lease, or other disposition of the Trust Assets; and the ultimate distribution of any remaining unsold Trust Assets upon termination of the Trust as provided herein and in the Plan. The only activities of the Trust shall be those reasonably necessary to, and consistent with the accomplishment of, such purposes, and the Trust shall have no objective to continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business. 1.02 Appointment of and Acceptance by Trustee. To accomplish the purposes of the Trust and pursuant to the Plan, the Debtors do hereby name, constitute and appoint Dan B. Lain as Trustee to act, hold, administer and liquidate the Trust Assets as set forth in this Agreement and the Plan effective as of the Effective Date. The Trustee shall be "disinterested," as such term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code. Any counsel retained by the Trustee shall be similarly disinterested with respect to any matter undertaken by such counsel, and it is expressly understood that any Professionals that have represented the Creditors Committee shall be deemed to satisfy the requirement of being disinterested. The Trustee shall not have any rights or powers under this Trust Agreement and no action can be taken hereunder (1) until the Trustee has been duly appointed, unless otherwise specifically ordered by the Bankruptcy Court and (2) the Trustee is willing and does hereby accept the appointment to serve as Trustee, and to act, hold, administer, and liquidate the Trust Assets pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan. 1.03. Name of Trust. The Trust established hereby shall bear the name "DTVN Liquidating Trust." 1.04 Transfer of Trust Assets to Trust. The Debtors, in accordance with the Plan, hereby grant, release, transfer, assign, convey, and deliver the Trust Assets (together with all other assets that may become part of the Trust Assets pursuant to the Plan), to the Trust, to be held, maintained, and liquidated with the net proceeds thereof distributed to the Trust creditors and beneficiaries other beneficiaries of the Trust (including, but not limited to, holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests of the Debtors), as specified herein and in the Plan and, PAGE 34 upon termination of the Trust, any remaining unsold Trust Assets to be distributed as set forth herein and in the Plan. The Trustee shall have the right to assert any right, defense, or claim pursuant to the Plan, Confirmation Order or applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. II. RIGHTS, POWERS AND DUTIES OF TRUSTEE 2.01 Maintenance, Safekeeping and Liquidation of Trust Assets. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and of the Plan, the Trustee shall take possession and charge of the Trust Assets and shall endeavor to conserve, protect, collect, and liquidate or otherwise convert into cash all assets that constitute part of the Trust Assets and all other property incidental thereto that may hereafter be acquired by the Trust from time to time under this Agreement or under the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Trustee may exercise all powers allowed under the Texas Trust Act. To the end of accomplishing the purposes of this Agreement, the Trustee shall have the full right, power, and discretion to manage the affairs of the Trust including, but not limited to, having authority to consummate the sales of Trust Assets under terms and conditions negotiated and agreed upon, but in all other respects under such terms and conditions as the Trustee, in his or her sole discretion, shall deem appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Trust, as set forth in the Plan. Subject to the foregoing, the Trustee shall have the right and power to enter into any contracts or agreements binding the Trust (including contracts that extend beyond the Termination Date) and to execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments that are necessary, required or deemed by the Trustee to be advisable in connection with the performance of his or her duties hereunder subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and herein. The Trustee shall have power to prosecute, in the name of the Trust, the Debtors, or otherwise, all such suits as may be necessary, appropriate or incident to the purposes hereof, as set forth in the Plan. Additionally, the Trustee shall have the power to (i) do all acts contemplated in this Agreement or by the Plan to be done by the Trustee and (ii) do all other acts that may be necessary or appropriate for the final liquidation and distribution of the Trust Assets, as set forth in the Plan. The Trustee is authorized to take all necessary actions required in the ordinary course of liquidating the Trust Assets. PAGE 35 The investment powers of the Trustee, other than those reasonably necessary to maintain the value of the assets and to further the liquidating purpose of the Trust, are limited to powers to invest in demand and time deposits, such as short-term certificates of deposit, in banks or other savings institutions, or other temporary, liquid investments, such as Treasury bills. Furthermore, the Trust may not receive or retain cash or cash equivalents in excess of a reasonable amount to meet claims and contingent liabilities or to maintain the value of the assets during liquidation. The Trust must distribute at least annually to the beneficiaries of the Trust, the Trust's net income plus all net proceeds from the sale of assets, except that the Trust may retain an amount of net proceeds or net income reasonably necessary to maintain the value of its assets or to meet claims and contingent liabilities (including disputed claims). 2.02 Taxes. The DTVN Liquidating Trust shall be considered a "grantor" trust for federal income tax purposes, and shall, therefore, not have separate liability for federal income taxes relating to, or arising from, the conveyance, operation, or liquidation of Liquidating Trust Assets. However, in accordance with 26 USC (S) 6012(b)(3) and the decision of the United States Supreme Court in Holywell Corp. v Smith, 112 S. Ct. 1021 (1992), the Liquidating Trustee of the DTVN Liquidating Trust will be required to file the income tax returns that the Debtors would have filed if their assets had not been conveyed to the DTVN Liquidating Trust. Therefore, to the extent that the operation or liquidation of Trust Assets creates tax liability for the Debtors, the DTVN Liquidating Trust shall promptly pay such tax liability, and any such payments shall be considered costs and expenses of operation of the DTVN Liquidating Trust. The Liquidating Trustee may also reserve a sum sufficient to pay any accrued or potential tax liability arising out of the operations of the DTVN Liquidating Trust, if any. 2.03 Liability of Trustee. (a) Limitation of Liability of Trustee. Except in the case of fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence, the Trustee and the Liquidating Trust Board shall not be liable for any loss or damage by reason of any action taken or omitted by them pursuant to the discretion, powers, and authority conferred on them by this Agreement. The Trustee and the Liquidating Trust Board shall be entitled to exercise good faith business judgment in the administration of the Trust PAGE 36 and shall never have any liability to any person for the exercise of his good faith business judgment. (b) No Liability for Acts of Predecessors. No successor Trustee shall be in any way responsible for the acts or omissions of any Trustee in office prior to the date on which he or she becomes a Trustee, unless a successor Trustee expressly assumes such responsibility. (c) Reliance by Trustee on Documents or Advice of Counsel. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, or other paper or document believed by him or her to be genuine and have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Trustee may also engage and consult with legal counsel selected by him or her and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered by him or in reliance upon the advice of such counsel. (d) No Personal Obligation for Trust Liabilities. Persons dealing with the Trustee shall look only to the Trust Assets to satisfy any liability incurred by the Trustee to such person in carrying out the terms of this Trust, and the Trustee shall have no personal, individual obligation to satisfy any such liability. 2.04 Bond Requirements and Exercise of Powers. The Trustee shall be required to furnish a bond on such terms and in such amount as approved by the Bankruptcy Court. 2.05 Selection of Agents. The Trustee may select and employ brokers, banks, custodians, investment advisors, attorneys (including attorneys to prosecute causes of action on behalf of the Trust), accountants, auditors, and other agents and may delegate to any agent so selected any of the powers conferred upon the Trustee by the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan for such periods of time as the Trustee shall reasonably determine. The Trustee may employ as a consultant to him or her in his administration of the Trust any person or persons having particular knowledge of the Trust Assets. The salaries, fees, and expenses of such agents or consultants may be paid out of the Trust Assets. The Trustee shall not be liable for any loss to the Trust or any person interested therein by reason of any mistake or default of any such agent or consultant as shall be selected and retained in good faith and without gross negligence. PAGE 37 2.06 Depositories. The Trustee may deposit the Trust Assets at such federally insured banks, in the types of accounts, as the Trustee may, in his or her sole discretion, select but shall not otherwise invest the Trust Assets. 2.07 Reporting Duties. Forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter of the Trust and forty-five (45) days after termination of the Trust, the Trustee shall file with the Bankruptcy Court an unaudited written report and account showing (i) the assets and liabilities of the Trust at the end of such quarter or upon termination, (ii) any changes in the Trust Assets that have not previously been reported, and (iii) any material action taken by the Trustee in the performance of his or her duties under the Trust and under the Plan which has not been previously reported. The Trustee may also provide each of the Trust's creditors and beneficiaries such interim oral reports of the assets, liabilities, cash flow, cash distributions, and reserves of the Trust, as any of them may reasonably request. 2.08 Trustee's Compensation. [To be added prior to confirmation.] The Trustee shall be entitled to receive compensation for services rendered in the performance of his duties as Trustee in the form of an hourly fee, at a rate commensurate with the standard hourly billing rate charged by the Trustee, as it may exist from time to time, which currently is $295 per hour. The Trustee shall also be entitled to reimbursement of reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the performance of his duties as Trustee of the DTVN Liquidating Trust. The Trustee may also retain professionals, including the Trustee's accounting firm, to effectively administer the Trust on terms negotiated by the Trustee, and approved by the Trust Board, provided such compensation arrangements are no more favorable than such professionals typically charge for their services in unrelated cases. The Trustee and all of the professionals that he has engaged shall follow the fee guidelines for the Northern District of Texas as they have been implemented in these bankruptcy proceedings (payment of 80% of fees and 100% of expenses upon expiration of fifteen days without objection after the mailing of such fee statements to the Liquidating Trust Board and the Trustee) If any member of the Trust Board objects the payment of any invoice within the fifteen (15) day period, payment shall not be made on the disputed portion until the objection is resolved, or on a vote of the majority of the Trust Board. All such professionals shall file fee applications with the Bankruptcy Court to be noticed for hearing to all parties on the Master Service List filed by the Debtors on or after April 1, 2003. PAGE 38 Compensation and reimbursement of the Trustee will be reviewed by the Bankruptcy Court post-confirmation,. Any successor Trustee shall be compensated at the same manner as the initial trustee. 2.09 Trust Implementation. On the Effective Date, the Trust shall be established and become effective. Title shall automatically vest under the Plan, but to the extent necessary, the Debtors shall execute any documents or other instruments as may be necessary to cause title to the Trust Assets to be transferred to the Trust. Title to the Trust Assets shall nevertheless automatically vest in the Trustee on the day after the Effective Date. On the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trust Board (the "Trust Board") will be established that shall consist of the members of the Creditors' Committee who wish to serve on the Board along with a representative of Focal Communications but only if Focal has a claim on the Effective Date. The Trust Board operating by the majority vote shall have the power to direct the activities of the Trustee. In particular, and not by way of limitation, the Trust Board shall have the power to (a) review and approve the payment of all professional fees and expenses prior to payment thereof by the Trustee, and (b) review and approve any settlements proposed by the Trustee involving litigation claims which seek recovery in excess of $25,000. The Trust Board may operate with as few as two (2) members. In the event that two (2) members of the Creditors' Committee are unable or unwilling to serve as members of the Trust Board, then the Trustee may appoint any replacements for such members, first from the list of any alternate designees filed with and approved by the Bankruptcy Court. 2.10 Conflicting Claims. In the event the Trustee becomes aware of any disagreement or conflicting claims with respect to the Trust Assets, or if the Trustee in good faith is in doubt as to any action which should be taken under this Agreement, the Trustee shall have the absolute right at his election to do any or all of the following: (a) To the extent of such disagreement or conflict, or to the extent deemed by him to be necessary or appropriate in the light of such disagreement or conflict, withhold or stop all further performance under this Agreement (save and except the safekeeping of the Trust Assets) until the Trustee is satisfied and such disagreement or conflicting claims have been fully and finally resolved; PAGE 39 (b) File a suit in interpleader or in the nature of interpleader in the Bankruptcy Court or other court then having jurisdiction and obtain an order requiring all persons and parties involved to litigate their respective claims arising out of or in connection with this Agreement; or (c) File any other appropriate motion for relief in the Bankruptcy Court or other court then having jurisdiction. 2.11 Bankruptcy Court Jurisdiction. The Trustee shall be entitled to the benefit of all jurisdiction retained by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Article XIII of the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, this shall include without limitation: (a) any order or other relief implementing, construing, or applying the Plan, Confirmation Order, or the Trust relating to any right, power, or duty of the Trustee; and (b) any orders, writ, or other process necessary or appropriate to the performance, implementation, consummation or construction of the Plan or the Trust. III. INTERESTS OF BENEFICIARIES 3.01 After satisfaction of the then current administrative expenses of the Trust, the Trustee shall pay to the holders of beneficiaries of the Trust (including, but not limited to, holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests of the Debtors), as and when there are proceeds to redeem such interests, the amounts of the Allowed Claims against or Allowed Interest in the Debtors, out of the assets contributed to this Trust from the estate of that particular Debtors, in the priority to which they are entitled pursuant to the Plan. 3.02 Interest Beneficial Only. The ownership of a beneficial interest in the Trust hereunder shall not entitle any Trust beneficiary to any right, title, interest, or control in, to, or of the Trust Assets as such, or to any right to call for a partition or division of the same, or to require an accounting, except as specifically required by the terms hereof. 3.03 Transfer of Claims or Beneficial Interests. Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, in accordance with Article VII.B of the Plan, the Trustee has no obligation to recognize any transfer of any Claim or beneficial interest; however, in the exercise of his or her sole discretion, the Trustee may do so on such terms as may be appropriate. PAGE 40 IV. REMOVAL OF TRUSTEE; SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE 4.01 Power to Remove Trustee. The Trustee appointed pursuant to this Agreement may be removed only by the Bankruptcy Court upon application of a Trust creditor or beneficiary, for cause shown, and the Trustee may also resign. For purposes of this section, "cause" shall mean and include the inability, or willful or repeated failure or refusal, to perform properly the duties and obligations of the Trustee hereunder. In the event of the removal or resignation of the Trustee, he or she shall be compensated pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof, calculated as of the effective date of his or her termination of employment. 4.02 Trustee. Should the Trustee resign or become unable or unwilling to fulfill his or her duties hereunder, the Trustee shall notify the Bankruptcy Court and serve notice of such resignation or inability or unwillingness on the then-applicable service list. 4.03 Successor Trustee. If the Trustee resigns, a successor trustee may be proposed by motion filed in the Bankruptcy Court by the counsel for the Trustee and the Liquidating trust Board. In the absence of written objection to a proposed successor trustee within twenty (20) calendar days of notice of such proposed successor trustee being given, such successor trustee shall be appointed by the Bankruptcy Court. Such successor trustee must satisfy the criteria for initial appointment by the Bankruptcy Court set forth in Section 1.02 hereof. The resignation of the Trustee shall not be effective unless and until the appointment of a successor Trustee has become effective. Any successor Trustee shall have the same qualifications and rights, powers, duties, and discretion, and otherwise shall be in the same position, as the initial Trustee. Any reference in this Agreement to the Trustee shall be deemed to refer to the Trustees acting hereunder from time to time. V. EFFECT OF TRUST ON THIRD PARTIES There is no obligation on the part of any purchaser or purchasers from the Trustee or any agent of the Trustee, or on the part of any other persons dealing with the Trustee or any agent of the Trustee, to see to the application of the purchase money or other consideration passing to the PAGE 41 Trustee or any agent of the Trustee or to inquire into the validity, expediency, or propriety of any such transaction by the Trustee or any agent of the Trustee. VI. 5. NO WAIVER No failure or delay of any party to exercise any right or remedy pursuant to this Agreement shall affect such right or remedy or constitute a waiver by such party of any right or remedy pursuant thereto. Resort to one form of remedy shall not constitute a waiver of alternative remedies. VII. TERMINATION The Trust shall terminate at the end of five (5) years from the Effective Date; provided, however, that upon complete liquidation of the Trust Assets and satisfaction as far as possible of all remaining obligations, liabilities, and expenses of the Trust pursuant to the Plan prior to such date, the Trustee may, with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, terminate the Trust; provided, further, that if, at the end of five (5) years from the Effective Date, the purposes of the Trust have not been accomplished, the Trustee or any then-creditor or beneficiary of the Trust may petition the Bankruptcy Court to extend the Termination Date for a finite period after notice of such application as the Bankruptcy Court shall determine has been given to then-creditors and beneficiaries of the Trust and an opportunity afforded them to be heard. Upon the Termination Date, any remaining Trust Assets shall be distributed to the then-remaining beneficiaries in accordance with Article III hereof. On the Termination Date, the Trustee shall execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments reasonably requested to evidence such transfer. Each extension must be approved by the Bankruptcy Court within six months of the beginning of the extended term. Upon termination and complete satisfaction of his or her duties under this Agreement, the Trustee shall thereupon be forever discharged and released from all powers, duties, responsibilities, and liabilities under the Trust.
