ARTICLE IV

MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN

Section 4.01                            Sale of the Acquired Assets

The Plan contemplates the sale of the Acquired Assets to a third party.  To effect this, the Debtors Filed the Bidding Procedures and Sale Motion which seeks, inter alia, to establish the Auction.  On October 5, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Bidding Procedures Order, which established December 1, 2009 at 5:00 p.m., prevailing Central time, as the deadline for Potential Purchasers to submit bids for the Acquired Assets, and established December 7, 2009 as the date for the Auction.  In connection with the Auction, the Debtors have identified the Stalking Horse Bidder as a potential purchaser for the Equity Interests.  If no additional Qualified Bidders are identified at the Auction, the Debtors will seek authority, in connection with Confirmation of the Plan, to sell the Equity Interests to the Stalking Horse Bidder, pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement.  If additional Qualified Bidders are identified, at the conclusion of the Auction,

28

the Debtors, with the consent of Union, will seek Bankruptcy Court approval to sell the Acquired Assets pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement to the Qualified Bidder submitting the highest and best offer, free and clear of any Liens, Claims, encumbrances or other interests.  The Confirmation Order shall contain specific authority for the Debtors to comply with the Purchase and Sale Agreement in this regard.

Contemporaneously with the Closing, the Effective Date and the delivery to Union described below, the Debtors will transfer to the Liquidating Trust from their Cash (other than Retained Funds) the Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve for the benefit of the Holders of Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims, Allowed Priority Non-Tax Claims and Allowed Other Secured Claims (and, to the extent of any surplus from such reserve after the payment of such Allowed Claims, for the benefit of Union).  If the amount of the Debtors’ Cash at the time of the Closing is less than the Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve, a portion of the purchase price for the Acquired Assets equal to the shortfall shall (rather than being transferred to Union as described below) be transferred by the Purchaser to the Liquidating Trust for the benefit of the Persons described above.  If there is additional Cash after the Debtors’ transfer of the Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve to the Liquidating Trust, any remaining Cash (other than Retained Funds) of the Debtors shall at the same time be transferred to Union, together with any cash equivalents.  Also at the same time, any other assets of any of the Debtors not transferred to the Purchaser at Closing or not owned at Closing by a Subsidiary whose Equity Interests are sold to the Purchaser (together, the “Other Assets”) pursuant to an order approving either (a) a sale of the Equity Interests to the Stalking Horse Bidder, or (b) a sale of the Acquired Assets to a different Purchaser, shall revest or vest in Reorganized Edge and shall be transferred to the Liquidating Trust.  All Avoidance Actions so transferred to the Liquidating Trust shall be for the benefit of the Holders of General Unsecured Claims.  All other assets so transferred to the Liquidating Trust shall be for the benefit of Union.  Except as otherwise provided in the Purchase and Sale Agreement, any assets received by Edge or the Liquidating Trust after the Effective Date of the Plan (other than the proceeds of Avoidance Actions) shall also be Other Assets and transferred to the Liquidating Trust for the benefit of Union.

Contemporaneously with the Closing and the Effective Date, the Purchaser shall transfer to Union the proceeds of the Transfer (including the release of any deposit paid pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement or the Bidding Procedures), less (i) the Seller Retained Funds, (ii) the Gifted Amount and (iii) any portion of the purchase price transferred by the Purchaser to the Liquidating Trust as part of the Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve for a shortfall in the Debtors’ Cash described above.  If required by the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Edge or Reorganized Edge, as applicable, shall maintain the Seller Retained Funds in a separate debtor in possession account until payments required to be made therefrom to the Purchaser have been made.  As soon as reasonably practicable after any such payments are made to Purchaser from the Seller Retained Funds, Union shall receive the balance of the Seller Retained Funds.

Section 4.02                            The Gifted Amount

On the Effective Date, the Purchaser, on behalf of Union, shall transfer and/or gift a portion of the purchase price for the Acquired Assets equal to the Gifted Amount to the Liquidating Trust for the benefit of the Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims.  Upon the resolution of all General Unsecured Claims, any remaining portion of the Gifted Amount or

29

the proceeds of the resolution of Avoidance Actions in the possession of the Liquidating Trust shall be turned over to Union.

Section 4.03                            No Substantive Consolidation

The Plan is a joint plan that does not provide for substantive consolidation of the Debtors’ estates, and on the Effective Date, the Debtors’ estates shall not be deemed to be substantively consolidated for purposes hereof.  Except as specifically set forth herein, nothing in this Plan, the Disclosure Statement or otherwise shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an admission that any one of the Debtors is subject to or liable for any Claim against any other Debtor.  Additionally, Creditors holding Claims against multiple Debtors, to the extent Allowed in each Debtor’s Chapter 11 Case, will be treated as holding a separate Claim against each Debtor’s Estate, provided, however, that no holder of an Allowed Claim shall be entitled to receive more than payment in full of such Allowed Claim (plus post-petition interest, if and to the extent provided in this Plan), and such Claims will be administered and treated in the manner provided in this Plan.

Section 4.04                            Continued Corporate Existence

Edge shall continue to exist after the Effective Date in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Delaware, in which it is incorporated, for the purposes of satisfying its obligations under the Plan and the winding down of its affairs.

On the Effective Date, the Governance Documents of Edge shall be amended and restated in substantially the forms, which must be acceptable in form and substance to Union, set forth in the Plan Supplement.

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Governance Documents, Reorganized Edge shall issue and cause to be delivered to the Liquidating Trust the New Edge Stock, which shall be an Other Asset.  Similar actions shall be taken with respect to each Subsidiary, if any, the Equity Interests of which are not sold to the Purchaser.

On or after the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trustee, in its sole and exclusive discretion, may take such action as permitted by applicable law and amended Governance Documents, as the Liquidating Trustee may determine is reasonable and appropriate, including, but not limited to, causing:  (i) Reorganized Edge to be merged into a remaining subsidiary and/or affiliate; (ii) Reorganized Edge to be dissolved; (iii) the legal name of Reorganized Edge to be changed; or (iv) the closure of Reorganized Edge’s Chapter 11 Case on the Effective Date or any time thereafter.

Section 4.05                            Cancellation of Existing Secured Claims

Upon the full payment or other satisfaction of an Allowed Secured Claim, or promptly thereafter, the Holder of such Allowed Secured Claim shall deliver to the applicable Debtor (or Reorganized Edge or Reorganized Subsidiary) any Collateral or other property of any Debtor  (or Reorganized Edge or Reorganized Subsidiary) held by such Holder, and any termination statements, instruments of satisfactions, or releases of all security interests with respect to its

30

Allowed Secured Claim that may be reasonably required in order to terminate any related financing statements, mortgages, mechanic’s liens, or lis pendens.

Section 4.06                            Directors and Officers

On the Effective Date, (a) the positions of the current directors, or in the case of a governing body created by a partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement or similar agreement, the members of such governing body (such persons and the corporate directors collectively, the “Governors”) of each Debtor shall be eliminated, and each Governor shall be terminated (without the necessity of further action), (b) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the rights, powers, and duties of the Governors of each Debtor (that is not a Subsidiary whose Equity Interests have been sold to the Purchaser pursuant to the Sale Order or the Confirmation Order) that has a Governor shall vest in the Liquidating Trustee and the Liquidating Trustee or its designee shall be the presiding officer and the sole Governor of each such Debtor, and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Governors of each Subsidiary whose Equity Interests have been sold to the Purchaser pursuant to the Sale Order or the Confirmation Order shall be selected by the Purchaser.  The Liquidating Trustee shall make all determinations with respect to employment of any other directors, officers, managers and employees of each such Debtor described in clause (b) on and after the Effective Date.

Section 4.07                            Creation of Liquidating Trust

(a)                                  The Liquidating Trust shall be governed by the Liquidating Trust Agreement.  The initial Liquidating Trustee shall be Robert E. Ogle.  The salient terms of the employment of the Liquidating Trustee, including duties and compensation, to the extent not set forth in the Plan, shall be set forth in the Liquidating Trust Agreement or the Confirmation Order.  The Liquidating Trust Agreement shall contain provisions customary to liquidating trust agreements utilized in comparable circumstances.  The Liquidating Trust and the Liquidating Trustee shall be bound by the Plan and shall not challenge any provision of the Plan.  The Liquidating Trust Agreement shall be filed as an exhibit to the Plan Supplement, and its express terms shall govern distributions thereunder.

(b)                                 On the Effective Date and contemporaneously with the Closing, the Debtors will transfer to the Liquidating Trust from their Cash the Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve for the benefit of the Holders of Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims, Allowed Priority Non-Tax Claims and Allowed Other Secured Claims (and, to the extent of any surplus from such reserve after the payment of such Allowed Claims, for the benefit of Union).  If the amount of the Debtors’ Cash at such time is less than the Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve, the shortfall shall be transferred by the Purchaser to the Liquidating Trust as provided in Section 4.01 for the benefit of the Persons described above.  From time to time the Liquidating Trustee will make distributions to the Holders of the Allowed Administrative Claims (including Allowed Cure Costs in the amounts determined as set forth in Section 6.02 of the Plan), Allowed Priority Tax Claims, Allowed Priority Non-Tax Claims and Allowed Other Secured Claims (i) from the Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve and (ii) from the Gifted Amount and the resolution of Avoidance Actions if the Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve is insufficient to pay all such Claims.  If there is any amount remaining after the payment of all Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims, Allowed Priority Non-Tax Claims and Allowed Other Secured Claims, such remaining amount shall be promptly transferred by the Liquidating Trust to Union.

31

(c)                                  On the Effective Date, the Gifted Amount shall be transferred to the Liquidating Trust by the Purchaser, as described in Section 4.02 of the Plan, and the Avoidance Actions and all associated residual liabilities shall be transferred to the Liquidating Trust by the Debtors.  The Gifted Amount and the Avoidance Actions shall be held in the Liquidating Trust for the benefit of the Holders of Allowed Claims in Classes A4, B4, C4, D4, E4 and F4, which are the Allowed General Unsecured Claims, and, to the extent that the Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve is insufficient to pay all Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims, Allowed Priority Non-Tax Claims and Allowed Other Secured Claims, for the benefit of the holders of such Claims.  The Liquidating Trustee will seek to resolve the Avoidance Actions in the interest of the Holders of all such Claims.  From time to time the Liquidating Trustee will make distributions to the Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims from the Gifted Amount and the resolution of Avoidance Actions, but leaving enough undistributed to assure the payment of all Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims, Allowed Priority Non-Tax Claims and Allowed Other Secured Claims if the Administrative and Priority Claims Reserve is insufficient to pay all such Claims.

(d)                                 On the Effective Date and contemporaneously with the Closing, Reorganized Edge shall transfer to the Liquidating Trust for the benefit of Union all of the Other Assets (other than the Avoidance Actions).  The Liquidating Trustee shall, in an expeditious but orderly manner, monetize and convert the Other Assets to Cash and make timely distributions thereof to Union, and not unduly prolong the duration of Reorganized Edge.  In so doing, the Liquidating Trustee shall exercise its reasonable business judgment in monetizing the Other Assets to maximize recoveries.  The monetization of the Other Assets may be accomplished through the sale or other monetization of such Assets (in whole or in combination) all as the Liquidating Trustee may determine is in the best interests of Union.  The Liquidating Trustee shall consult regularly with Union with respect to the monetization of the Other Assets.  Prior to selling or monetizing any Other Asset, the Liquidating Trustee shall give written notice to Union of the terms, conditions and consideration for, and the Other Assets to be sold or monetized in, the proposed transaction.  If Union does not object to such proposed transaction within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Liquidating Trustee may effect the transaction as described in the notice.  Promptly after the sale or other monetization of all or each portion of the Other Assets, the Liquidating Trustee shall deliver to Union the Net Proceeds of such sale or monetization.  The Liquidating Trustee shall have no liability to any of the Debtors, their Estates, their Creditors, the Creditors Committees (if any), their members or any other party for the outcome of its decisions in this regard, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct.  If, at the end of five (5) years after the Effective Date, any of the Other Assets in the Liquidating Trust remain unsold (the “Unsold Assets”), the Liquidating Trustee shall treat the Unsold Assets as instructed by Union, or, if Union does not provide instructions, submit a motion to the Bankruptcy Court, which shall set forth the Liquidating Trustee’s proposed treatment of the Unsold Assets.  If Union objects, the Bankruptcy Court shall schedule a hearing with respect to the motion.

Section 4.08                            Liquidating Trust Assets

Except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Confirmation Order, the Purchase and Sale Agreement or the Sale Order, as of the Effective Date, all property of the Debtors shall vest in the Liquidating Trust free and clear of all Claims, Liens, encumbrances and other Interests, except that Union’s Liens shall attach to the proceeds of the Transfer, other than any portion of such proceeds transferred by the Purchaser to the Liquidating Trust for a shortfall as described in Section 4.01 of the Plan or for the Gifted Amount as described in Section 4.02 of the Plan, and to the Other Assets.  From and after the Effective Date, the sole function of Reorganized Edge shall be to comply with the provisions of the Plan.  For federal income tax purposes, the transfer of the

32

Gifted Amount to the Liquidating Trust will be deemed to be a transfer to the Holders of the General Unsecured Claims (who are the Liquidating Trust beneficiaries of the Gifted Amount), followed by a deemed transfer by such beneficiaries to the Liquidating Trust.  The Liquidating Trust shall have full authority to compromise Claims or settle interests without supervision by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules, other than those restrictions expressly imposed by the Plan, the Confirmation Order, and the Liquidating Trust Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Liquidating Trust may, without application to or approval by the Bankruptcy Court, pay fees that it incurs after the Effective Date for professional fees and expenses.  Prior to settling or compromising any Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims, Priority Non-Tax Claims or Other Secured Claims or interests related thereto, the Liquidating Trustee shall provide written notice to Union of the terms and conditions of the proposed settlement or compromise.  Written notice may be provided to Union at its counsel’s email address:  ***@***.  If Union does not object to such settlement or compromise proposals within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Liquidating Trustee may effect the settlement or compromise as described in the notice.  If Union does object and Union and the Liquidating Trustee cannot agree on a settlement or compromise, whether such Claim shall be settled or compromised and the terms thereof shall be determined by the Bankruptcy Court.

Section 4.09                            Vesting of Assets in the Reorganized Subsidiaries

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated therein (including the Purchase and Sale Agreement), on the Effective Date, all property in each Subsidiary’s Estate, all Causes of Action (other than Avoidance Actions) of the Subsidiaries, and any property acquired by any of the Reorganized Subsidiaries pursuant to the Plan or the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall vest in each of the respective Reorganized Subsidiaries, free and clear of all Liens, mortgages, security interests, conditional sales or other title retention agreements, pledges, Claims, liabilities, obligations, demands, guaranties, options, rights, contractual commitments, restrictions, judgments, demands, encumbrances (including, without limitation, claims or encumbrances (i) that purport to give to any party a right or option to effect any forfeiture, modification or termination of the Subsidiaries’ or Reorganized Subsidiaries’ interests in the assets or (ii) with respect to taxes, restrictions, rights of first refusal, preferential rights of purchase, non-governmental rights of consent, charges or interests of any kind or nature, if any, including, but not limited to, any restriction on the use, voting, transfer, receipt of income or other exercise of any attributes of ownership) and other interests.  On and after the Effective Date, each of the Debtors, the Reorganized Subsidiaries and Reorganized Edge may operate their businesses and may use, acquire, or dispose of property without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules.  Except as provided in the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Purchaser and the Reorganized Subsidiaries shall have no liability for Allowed Claims under the Plan.

Section 4.10                            Authorization for Transactions

On the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Debtors, Reorganized Edge and the Reorganized Subsidiaries may take all actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect any transaction described in, approved by, contemplated by, or necessary to

34

discretion, in accordance with what is in the best interests, and for the benefit, of the beneficiaries of the various assets in the Liquidating Trust.

Section 4.12                            Employee Benefit Plans

The Confirmation Order shall provide that, pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, any Equity Interests issued pursuant to the Conversion Transaction and the New Edge Stock shall be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable law requiring registration prior to the offering, issuance, distribution or sale of securities; provided, that if the issuance pursuant to the Conversion Transaction or the New Edge Stock does not qualify for an exemption under section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Equity Interests or the New Edge Stock will be issued in a manner which qualifies for another available exemption from registration, whether as a private placement under Rule 506 of the Securities Act or otherwise.  All Equity Interests and the New Edge Stock issued pursuant to the Conversion Transaction and the Plan will be deemed issued as of the Effective Date regardless of the date actually distributed.

Any Cash payment to be made pursuant to the Plan may be made by Cash, draft, check, wire transfer, or as otherwise required or provided in any relevant agreement or applicable law at the option of and in the sole discretion of the Liquidating Trustee, except for Cash payments made to Union, which shall be made by wire transfer or such other method as may be specified by Union.

Section 5.03                            Failure to Negotiate Checks

Checks issued in respect of distributions under the Plan shall be null and void if not negotiated within sixty (60) days after the date of issuance.  The Liquidating Trustee shall hold any amounts returned in respect of such non-negotiated checks.  The Holder of an Allowed Claim with respect to which such check originally was issued shall make requests for reissuance for any such check directly to the Liquidating Trustee.  All amounts represented by any voided check will be held until the later of one (1) year after (x) the Effective Date or (y) the date that a

36

particular Claim is Allowed, and all requests for reissuance by the Holder of the Allowed Claim in respect of a voided check are required to be made prior to such date.  Thereafter, all such amounts shall be deemed to be Unclaimed Property, and all Claims in respect of void checks and the underlying distributions shall be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from assertion in any manner against the Liquidating Trustee.

Section 5.04                            Fractional Dollars

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, Cash distributions of fractions of dollars will not be made; rather, whenever any payment of a fraction of a dollar would be called for, the actual payment made shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar (up or down), with half dollars being rounded down.  To the extent that Cash remains undistributed as a result of the rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole cent, such Cash shall be treated as Unclaimed Property pursuant to Section 5.03 of this Plan.

Section 5.05                            Compliance with Tax Requirements

In connection with each distribution with respect to which the filing of an information return (such as an Internal Revenue Service Form 1099 or 1042) or withholding is required, the Liquidating Trustee shall file such information return with the Internal Revenue Service and provide any required statements in connection therewith to the recipients of such distribution or effect any such withholding and deposit all moneys so withheld as required by law.  With respect to any Person from whom a tax identification number, certified tax identification number or other tax information required by law to avoid withholding has not been received by the Liquidating Trustee within thirty (30) days from the date of such request, the Liquidating Trustee may, at its option, withhold the amount required and distribute the balance to such Person or decline to make such distribution until the information is received.

Section 5.06                            De Minimis Distributions

No Cash payment of less than five ($5.00) dollars shall be made to the Holder of any Claim on account of its Allowed Claim.

Section 5.07                            Setoffs

Except for any Claim that is Allowed in an amount set forth in the Plan (including the Union Secured Claim), the Debtors or the Liquidating Trustee may, but shall not be required to, set off against any Claims and the payments or distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of such Claims, any and all debts, liabilities and claims of every type and nature whatsoever that the Estate or a Debtor may have against the Holder of any Claim, but neither the failure to do so nor the Allowance of any such Claims, whether pursuant to the Plan or otherwise, shall constitute a waiver or release by any Debtor of any such claims the Debtor may have against such Holder of any Claim, and all such claims shall be reserved for and retained by the Liquidating Trustee.

37

Section 5.08                            Distribution Record Date

As of the close of business on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the Effective Date (the “Distribution Record Date”), all transfer ledgers, transfer books, registers and any other records maintained by the designated transfer agents with respect to ownership of any Claims will be closed and, for purposes of the Plan, there shall be no further changes in the record holders of such Claims.  The Liquidating Trustee shall have no obligation to recognize the transfer of any Claims occurring after the Distribution Record Date, and will be entitled for all purposes to recognize and deal only with the Holder of any Claim as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, as reflected on such ledgers, books, registers or records.

ARTICLE VI

EXECUTORY CONTRACTS, UNEXPIRED LEASES, AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

Section 6.01                            Assumption/Rejection

On the Effective Date, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, all of the Debtors’ executory contracts and unexpired leases will be rejected unless such executory contract or unexpired lease:  (a) is being assumed pursuant to the Plan; (b) is the subject of a motion to assume Filed on or before the Confirmation Date; or (c) has been previously rejected or assumed.

Section 6.02                            Cure Amounts

The Bidding Procedures and Sale Motion contemplates that numerous executory contracts and unexpired leases will be assumed and either assigned to the Purchaser or retained by Subsidiaries whose Equity Interests are sold to the Purchaser pursuant to the Sale Order or the Confirmation Order.  In accordance with the Bidding Procedures, as part of the Plan Supplement, the Debtors will File a list of such executory contracts and unexpired leases along with the proposed Cure Costs.  Any party taking exception to the proposed Cure Costs shall, in accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order, File a detailed statement setting forth its reason and the Bankruptcy Court shall determine the proper amount of the Cure Costs at the Confirmation Hearing.  The fixing of the Cure Costs shall constitute the Debtor’s right to assign the executory contract and unexpired lease to the Purchaser under Bankruptcy Code sections 365(c) and (f).

Section 6.03                            Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

Each executory contract and unexpired lease that is assumed will include (a) all amendments, modifications, 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; and (b) with respect to any executory contract or unexpired lease that relates to the use, ability to acquire, or occupancy of real property, all executory contracts or unexpired leases and other rights appurtenant to the property, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, powers, uses, usufructs, reciprocal easement agreements, vaults, tunnel or bridge agreements or franchises, and any other equity interests in real estate or rights in rem related to such premises, unless any of the foregoing agreements have been rejected pursuant to an order of the

38

Bankruptcy Court or are the subject of a motion to reject Filed on or before the Confirmation Date.

Amendments, modifications, supplements, and restatements to prepetition executory contracts and unexpired leases that have been executed by the Debtors during their Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the executory contract or unexpired lease, or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.

Section 6.04                            Insurance Policies

All insurance policies pursuant to which the Debtors have any obligations in effect as of the date of the Confirmation Order shall be deemed and treated as executory contracts pursuant to the Plan and shall be assumed by the Liquidating Trust.

Section 6.05                            Pass-through

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan any rights or arrangements necessary or useful to the administration of the Liquidating Trust but not otherwise addressed as a Claim or Interest, and other executory contracts not assumable under Bankruptcy Code section 365(c), shall, in the absence of any other treatment under the Plan, the Purchase and Sale Agreement, or Confirmation Order, be passed through the Chapter 11 Cases for the benefit of the Liquidating Trust and the counterparty unaltered and unaffected by the bankruptcy Filings or Chapter 11 Cases.

Section 6.06                            Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

Unless otherwise provided by a Bankruptcy Court order, any proofs of Claim asserting Claims arising from the rejection of the Debtors’ executory contracts and unexpired leases pursuant to the Plan or otherwise must be Filed no later than thirty (30) days after the later of the Effective Date or the effective date of rejection.  Any proofs of Claim arising from the rejection of the Debtors’ executory contracts or unexpired leases that are not timely Filed shall be disallowed automatically, forever barred from assertion, and shall not be enforceable against any Debtor or the Liquidating Trust without the need for any objection by any Person or further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and any Claim arising out of the rejection of the executory contract or unexpired lease shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged, notwithstanding anything in the Schedules or a Proof of Claim to the contrary.  All Allowed Claims arising from the rejection of the Debtors’ executory contracts and unexpired leases shall be classified as General Unsecured Claims for the particular Debtor in question and shall be treated in accordance with the particular provisions of the Plan for such Debtor; provided however, if the Holder of an Allowed Claim for rejection damages has an unavoidable security interest in any Collateral to secure obligations under such rejected executory contract or unexpired lease, the Allowed Claim for rejection damages shall be treated as an Other Secured Claim to the extent of the value of such Holder’s interest in the Collateral, with the deficiency, if any, treated as a General Unsecured Claim.

39

Section 6.07                            Reservation of Rights

Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an executory contract or unexpired lease or that any Debtor 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, the Debtors or Reorganized Edge, as applicable, shall have thirty (30) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.

Section 6.08                            Nonoccurrence of Effective Date

In the event that the Effective Date does not occur, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction with respect to any request by the Debtors to extend the deadline for assuming or rejecting unexpired leases pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 365(d)(4).

ARTICLE VII

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED,
CONTINGENT, AND UNLIQUIDATED CLAIMS

Section 7.01                            Objections to Claims

(a)                               Authority

The Debtors or the Liquidating Trustee, as applicable, and Union shall have the exclusive authority to File objections to Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims, Priority Non-Tax Claims and Other Secured Claims, and to withdraw any objections to such Claims that they File.  The Debtors or the Liquidating Trustee, as applicable, shall have the exclusive authority to settle, compromise, or litigate to judgment any objections to such Claims, (i) if they have the prior written consent of Union, (ii) if they have given detailed written notice of the proposed settlement, compromise or litigation to Union and Union has not objected thereto within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, or (iii) upon the Order of the Bankruptcy Court after Union has had notice and an opportunity to object.  The Debtors or the Liquidating Trustee, as applicable, shall have the exclusive authority to File, settle, compromise, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any objections to other Claims.  From and after the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trustee may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without approval of the Bankruptcy Court.  The Liquidating Trustee also shall have the right to resolve any Disputed Claim outside the Bankruptcy Court under applicable governing law.  However, the Liquidating Trustee shall not settle, compromise or resolve any Disputed Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims, Priority Non-Tax Claims and Other Secured Claims unless (i) it has the prior written consent of Union, (ii) it has given detailed written notice of the proposed settlement, compromise or resolution to Union and Union has not objected thereto within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, or (iii) it has received an Order of the Bankruptcy Court after Union has had notice and an opportunity to object.

(b)                               Objection Deadline

As soon as practicable, but no later than the Claims Objection Deadline, the Liquidating Trustee or Union may File objections with the Bankruptcy Court and serve such objections on

40

the Creditors holding the Claims to which such objections are made.  Nothing contained herein, however, shall limit the right of the Liquidating Trustee or Union to object to Claims, if any, Filed or amended after the Claims Objection Deadline.  The Claims Objection Deadline may be extended by the Bankruptcy Court upon motion by the applicable Debtor or the Liquidating Trustee, as the case may be, or Union without notice or hearing.

Section 7.02                            Estimation of Claims

The Liquidating Trustee may (after the prior written consent of Union in the case of contingent or unliquidated Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims, Priority Non-Tax Claims and Other Secured Claims) at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any contingent or unliquidated Claim pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 502(c), regardless of whether the Liquidating Trustee or any Debtor or Union has previously objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any objection, and the Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim, including during the pendency of any appeal related to any such objection.  In the event the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim, that 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 Liquidating Trustee (and Union in the case of Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims, Priority Non-Tax Claims and Other Secured Claims) may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate payment on such Claim.  All of the aforementioned objection, estimation and resolution procedures are cumulative and are not necessarily exclusive of one another.  Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims, Priority Non-Tax Claims and Other Secured Claims may be estimated and thereafter resolved by any permitted mechanism (i) if it has the prior written consent of Union, (ii) if Union has received a detailed written notice of the proposed estimation and resolution and Union has not objected thereto within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, or (iii) upon the Order of the Bankruptcy Court after Union has had notice and an opportunity to object.  Other Claims may be estimated and thereafter resolved by any permitted mechanism.

Section 7.03                            No Distributions Pending Allowance

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no payments or distributions shall be made with respect to all or any portion of a Disputed Claim unless and until all objections to such Disputed Claim have been settled or withdrawn or have been determined by Final Order, and the Disputed Claim, or some portion thereof, has become an Allowed Claim.

Section 7.04                            Distributions After Allowance

The Liquidating Trustee shall make payments and distributions from a distribution reserve to each Holder of a Disputed Claim that has become an Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions of the Plan governing the class of Claims to which such Holder belongs.  As soon as reasonably practicable after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing all or part of any Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order, the Liquidating Trustee shall distribute to the Holder of such Claim the distribution (if any) that would have been made to such Holder on the Distribution Date had such Allowed Claim been allowed on the Distribution Date.  After a Disputed Claim is Allowed or otherwise resolved, the excess Cash or other

41

Section 7.05                            Reduction of Claims

Notwithstanding the contents of the Schedules, Claims listed therein as undisputed, liquidated and not contingent shall be reduced by the amount, if any, that was paid by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date, including pursuant to orders of the Bankruptcy Court.  To the extent such payments are not reflected in the Schedules, such Schedules will be deemed amended and reduced to reflect that such payments were made.  Nothing in the Plan shall preclude the Liquidating Trustee from paying Claims that the Debtors were authorized to pay pursuant to any Final Order entered by the Bankruptcy Court prior to the Effective Date.

In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Liquidating Trustee shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on it by any governmental unit, and all distributions pursuant hereto shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Liquidating Trustee shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of a distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes with respect to such distribution, withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such distribution, or establishing any other mechanisms it believes are reasonable and appropriate.  The Liquidating Trustee reserves the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and other spousal awards, liens and encumbrances.

Pursuant to section 1141(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, the distributions, rights, and treatment that are provided in the Plan shall be in complete satisfaction, discharge, and release, effective as of the Effective Date, of all Claims, Interests, and Causes of Action of any nature whatsoever, including any interest accrued on Claims or Interests from and after the Petition Date, whether known or unknown, against, liabilities of, Liens on, obligations of, rights against, and Interests in, the Debtors or any of their assets or properties, regardless of whether any property shall have been distributed or retained pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claims and Interests, including demands, liabilities, and Causes of Action that arose before the Effective Date, any liability (including withdrawal liability) to the extent such Claims or Interests relate to services performed by employees of the Debtors prior to the Effective Date and that arise from a termination of employment or a termination of any employee or retiree benefit program, regardless of whether such termination occurred prior to or after the Effective Date, any contingent or non-contingent liability on account of representations or warranties issued on or before the Effective Date, and all debts of the kind specified in sections 502(g), 502(h), or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, in each case whether or not:  (a) a Proof of Claim or Interest based upon such debt, right, Claim, or Interest is Filed or deemed Filed pursuant to section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code; (b) a Claim or Interest based upon such Claim, debt, right, or Interest is Allowed pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code; or (c) the Holder of such a Claim or Interest has accepted the Plan.  Subject to the terms of the Plan and the Confirmation Order, any default by the Debtors or their Affiliates with respect to any Claim or Interest that existed immediately prior to or on account of the Filing of the Chapter 11 Cases shall be deemed satisfied on the Effective Date.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of the discharge of all Claims and Interests subject to the Effective Date occurring.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of discharge of all liabilities of the Debtors, their Estates, Reorganized Edge, the Reorganized Subsidiaries and all successors thereto.  As provided in section 524 of the Bankruptcy Code, subject to the terms of the Plan, such discharge shall void any judgment against the Debtors, their Estates, Reorganized Edge, the Reorganized Subsidiaries or any successors thereto at any time obtained to the extent it relates to a Claim or Interest discharged, and operates as an injunction against the prosecution of any action against Reorganized Edge, the Reorganized Subsidiaries or their respective property and assets to the extent it relates to a discharged Claim or Interest.
