Subject to the foregoing exclusive authority and mandate granted to the Liquidation Agent, the existing management of the Debtors shall retain all of their other respective management and decision-making powers on behalf of the Debtors.  The Liquidation Agent shall exercise the exclusive powers granted under the Prepetition Lender Settlement Agreement in the role of Bankruptcy Court-appointed independent liquidation agent and he shall not be an officer, employee, manager, or director of any of the Debtors.
The Liquidation Agent shall maximize the proceeds from the sale of the Collateral in the manner that he determines to be appropriate in his sole and absolute discretion and, in any event, consistent with traditional fiduciary duties owed by directors and officers of corporations under Delaware law to constituents of bankruptcy estates subject to complying with the Sale Process in all respects as set forth in the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents; provided that the Liquidation Agent may not, in exercising his rights and duties, contest the Sale Process (including the Sale Deadlines), in any way or seek any relief from the Bankruptcy Court to modify the Sale Process (including the Sale Deadlines), or take any other action inconsistent with the terms of the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents.
On the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, subject to and consistent with the terms of the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, the Debtors (including, as appropriate as set forth in the Prepetition Lender Settlement Agreement, at the direction of the Liquidation Agent) may take all actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect any transaction described in, approved by, or necessary or appropriate to effectuate this Plan, including, without limitation: (i) the execution and delivery of appropriate instruments of transfer, assignment, assumption, or delegation of any Asset, property, right, liability, debt, or obligation on terms consistent with the terms of this Plan and having other terms to which the applicable parties agree; (ii) the filing of appropriate certificates or articles of incorporation and amendments thereto; and (iii) all other actions that the applicable entities determine to be necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, making filings or recordings that may be required by applicable law.
On or after the Consummation Date, subject to the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, and without prejudice to the rights of any party to a contract or other agreement with any Reorganized Debtor, each Reorganized Debtor may take such action not inconsistent with this Plan and as permitted by applicable law and such Reorganized Debtor’s organizational documents, as such Reorganized Debtor may determine is reasonable and appropriate, including, without limitation, causing: (i) a Reorganized Debtor to be merged into another Reorganized Debtor or an affiliate of a Reorganized Debtor; (ii) a Reorganized Debtor to be dissolved; (iii) the legal name of a Reorganized Debtor to be changed; or (iv) the closure of a Reorganized Debtor’s Chapter 11 Case on the Consummation Date or any time thereafter, in each case subject to and consistent with the terms of the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents.
C.
Vesting of Assets in the Debtors
Except as otherwise provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order and subject to and consistent with the terms of the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, on or after the Effective Date, all property and Assets of the Estates (including, without limitation, Causes of Action and, unless otherwise waived or released pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court or this Plan, Avoidance Actions) will vest in the Debtors, free and clear of all Liens, Claims, charges or other encumbrances pursuant to section 1141(c) of the Bankruptcy Code except with respect to such Liens, Claims, charges and other encumbrances that are specifically preserved under this Plan upon the Effective Date (including the Prepetition Lender Secured Claim, the Prepetition Lender Lien, the DIP Financing Claim, and the DIP Liens). Notwithstanding the vesting of such property and Assets in the Debtors on the Effective Date, (i) the Debtors shall remain obligated to sell or transfer the Collateral in accordance with the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents and (ii) the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall remain obligated to provide Holders of Allowed Claims and Equity Interests with the treatment set forth in Articles II and III.
Except as may be otherwise provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order and subject to and consistent with the terms of the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, on and after the Consummation Date, the Reorganized Debtors may operate their business and may use, acquire or dispose of property and compromise or settle any Claims without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules. Without limiting the foregoing, the Reorganized Debtors will pay the charges that they incur after the Consummation Date for Professionals’ fees, disbursements, expenses or related support services (including reasonable fees relating to the preparation of Professional fee applications) in the ordinary course of business and without application or notice to, or order of, the Bankruptcy Court.
D.
Authorized Financing / Sale Process
As set forth in the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, until the occurrence of a Sale Trigger Event, the Liquidation Agent’s duties and authorities shall be limited to taking such actions as he determines in his sole and absolute discretion to be necessary or appropriate (including consulting with, directing, and overseeing Maple) for White Eagle to be prepared to launch and implement the Sale Process. Subject to and consistent with the terms of the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, if the Debtors fail to pay the Early Payoff Amount to the Prepetition Agent on or before the occurrence of a Sale Trigger Event, on the next Business Day, the Liquidation Agent shall have sole power to act on behalf of the Debtors as provided in Article V.B(ii) automatically and without further order or corporate action and shall take all actions as he determines in his sole and absolute discretion as necessary or appropriate to exercise his rights and perform his duties in accordance with the terms set forth in the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents.
Subject to and consistent with the terms of the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, from and after the Effective Date through the occurrence of a Sale Trigger Event, the Debtors may not sell or transfer any Collateral without approval of the Bankruptcy Court; provided that, if the Debtors attempt to sell any Collateral prior to the occurrence of a Sale Trigger Event for an amount which is less than the Early Payoff Amount, the proceeds therefrom (after the payment of any fees owed to Maple as a result of such sale, as applicable) shall be paid to the Prepetition Agent to reduce the Allowed Prepetition Lender Claim dollar for dollar (first in satisfaction of accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs, and expenses and, then, in satisfaction of principal); provided, further, that the Lender Parties’ credit bid and objection rights are fully preserved with respect to any such proposed sale or transfer. If any such sale or transfer is approved by the Bankruptcy Court after notice and a hearing, the Debtors are authorized, pursuant to section 1123(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and notwithstanding any otherwise applicable nonbankruptcy law, to enter into and consummate such transaction.
Subject to and consistent with the terms of the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, after the occurrence of a Sale Trigger Event and notwithstanding any applicable nonbankruptcy law, the Debtors, at the direction of the Liquidation Agent based on the advice of Maple, may sell any or all of their Assets or property (including the equity interests in White Eagle) without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or the vote, consent, authorization or approval of any Entity. The Lender Parties and Emergent shall each have the right to object to any proposed sale of some or all of the Collateral pursuant to the Sale Process by filing an objection to such sale with the Bankruptcy Court. So long as the Lender Parties and Emergent receive at least seven (7) days’ notice of the proposed sale of some or all of the Collateral pursuant to the Sale Process, the filing of such an objection shall not stay any proposed sale. The burden shall be on the objecting party to obtain expedited consideration of such objection (to which any opposing party shall not unreasonably object). At the hearing before the Bankruptcy Court to consider any such objection, the burden shall be on the objecting party to prove that the sale does not satisfy the requirements of section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided that such objection shall not challenge the adequacy of the Sale Process as contemplated by the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents. None of the filing, the pendency, nor the determination of any such objection shall prevent or stay the Collateral from being transferred to the Lender Parties on or promptly after the Outside Closing Date pursuant to the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents.
Subject to and consistent with the terms of the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, from and after the Effective Date and notwithstanding any applicable nonbankruptcy law, the Debtors and the Liquidation Agent, as applicable, shall be and are authorized to execute and deliver any loan, financing, and ancillary documents, and shall be and are authorized to execute, deliver, file, record and issue any other notes, guarantees, deeds of trust, security agreements, documents (including UCC financing statements), amendments to the foregoing, or agreements in connection therewith, in each case without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or the vote, consent, authorization or approval of any Entity; provided that, as set forth in the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, the Debtors may not incur any additional funded indebtedness after the Effective Date and through the Consummation Date except to the extent the proceeds of which shall be used simultaneously to pay the DIP Financing Claims and the Prepetition Lender Secured Claim in full in Cash. Any holder of a lien or security interest whose Claim is satisfied under this Plan, shall be required to file terminations of any perfection instruments.
Except as otherwise provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, all Cash necessary for the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors to make payments required pursuant to this Plan will be obtained pursuant to the DIP Financing Documents and the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors’ Cash balances, including Cash from the receipt of Insurance Policy proceeds; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Debtors shall remain subject to the DIP Financing Documents for the use of Cash Collateral (including proceeds of DIP Financing) through the Consummation Date, including the budget and permitted variances and requirement to make adequate protection payments included in the DIP Financing Documents through the Consummation Date. Cash payments to be made pursuant to this Plan will be made by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable.
Subject to and consistent with the terms of the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, from and after the Consummation Date and notwithstanding any applicable nonbankruptcy law, the Reorganized Debtors, at the direction of management, shall be and are authorized to execute and deliver any sale and ancillary documents with respect to the Reorganized Debtors’ assets, and shall be and are authorized to execute, deliver, file, record and issue any other purchase agreements, bills of sale, assignment and transfer documents, amendments to the foregoing, or agreements in connection therewith, in each case without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or the vote, consent, authorization or approval of any Entity, subject to the limitations set forth herein.

ARTICLE VI.
TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS
A.
Assumption of Executory Contracts
On the Effective Date, all Executory Contracts of the Debtors will be deemed assumed in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, except for those Executory Contracts (including, without limitation, employment agreements) that:
have previously expired or terminated pursuant to their own terms or by agreement of the parties thereto; or
have been rejected by order of the Bankruptcy Court.
The Debtors do not have any Unexpired Leases. Without amending or altering any prior order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the assumption or rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court will constitute approval of such assumptions pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent any provision in any Executory Contract assumed pursuant to this Plan restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, the Debtors’ assumption of such Executory Contract, then such provision will be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by this Plan will not entitle the non-Debtor party thereto to terminate such Executory Contract or to exercise any other default-related rights with respect thereto. Each Executory Contract assumed pursuant to this Article of this Plan will revest in and be fully enforceable by the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors in accordance with its terms, except as modified by the provisions of this Plan, any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption, or applicable law.
None of the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents may be rejected by the Debtors or the Non-Debtor Affiliates in the Chapter 11 Cases or any other Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
B.
Assignment of Executory Contracts
Executory Contracts may only be assigned by the Debtors prior to the Consummation Date with the prior written consent of the Lender Parties. In the event of an assignment of an Executory Contract, at least ten (10) days prior to the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors will serve upon counterparties to such Executory Contracts a notice of the proposed assumption and assignment that will: (a) list the applicable cure amount, if any; (b) identify the party to which the Executory Contract will be assigned; (c) describe the procedures for filing objections thereto; and (d) explain the process by which related disputes will be resolved by the Bankruptcy Court; additionally, the Debtors will File with the Bankruptcy Court a list of such Executory Contracts to be assigned and the proposed cure amounts. Any applicable cure amounts will be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the cure amount in Cash on the Effective Date or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contracts may otherwise agree.
Any objection by a counterparty to an Executory Contract to a proposed assignment or any related cure amount must be Filed, served and actually received by the Debtors at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Confirmation Hearing. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract that fails to object timely to the proposed assignment or cure amount will be deemed to have consented to such assignment of its Executory Contract. The Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving any proposed assignments of Executory Contracts pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date.
In the event of a dispute regarding (a) the amount of any cure payment, (b) the ability of any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the Executory Contract to be assigned or (c) any other matter pertaining to assignment, the applicable cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code will be made following the entry of a Final Order or orders resolving the dispute and approving the assignment. The Debtors, in their sole option, reserve the right to reject such Executory Contract at any time in lieu of assuming and assigning it.
C.
Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts
Any monetary amounts by which any Executory Contract to be assumed hereunder is in default shall be satisfied, under section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, upon assumption thereof, by payment of the default amount in Cash as and when due in the ordinary course or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contracts may otherwise agree. Any Claims arising under Executory Contracts between the Debtors and their Affiliates shall be treated as Intercompany Claims under this Plan. The Debtors may serve a notice on parties to Executory Contracts to be assumed reflecting the Debtors’ intention to assume the Executory Contract in connection with this Plan and setting forth the proposed cure amount (if any).
In the event of a dispute regarding (1) the amount of any payments to cure a default, (2) the ability of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the Executory Contract to be assumed or (3) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code will be made following the entry of a Final Order or orders resolving the dispute and approving the assumption. The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, in their sole option, reserve the right to reject such Executory Contract at any time in lieu of assuming it.
D.
Assumption of Insurance Policies
Subject to and consistent with the terms of the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, upon the Effective Date, the Debtors will assume all of the Insurance Policies pursuant to section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and all such Insurance Policies shall vest in the Debtors. Unless previously effectuated by separate order entered by the Bankruptcy Court, entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Debtors’ foregoing assumption of each of the Insurance Policies and all such Insurance Policies shall continue in full force and effect thereafter in accordance with their respective terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, confirmation of this Plan will not impair or otherwise modify any rights of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors under the Insurance Policies.
E.
Indemnification Provisions
All indemnification provisions currently in place (whether in the by-laws, certificate of incorporation, board resolutions, contracts, or otherwise) for the directors, officers and managers of the Debtors who served in such capacity as of the Petition Date with respect to or based upon any act or omission taken or omitted in such capacities, for or on behalf of the Debtors, will be Reinstated (or assumed, as the case may be), and will survive effectiveness of this Plan. The Liquidation Agent shall be the beneficiary of any such indemnity provisions or, to the extent such indemnity provisions are not applicable, a separate indemnity agreement to be agreed by the Debtors and the Liquidation Agent.  No such Reinstatement or assumption shall in any way extend the scope or term of any indemnification provision beyond that contemplated in the underlying contract or document as applicable.
ARTICLE VII.
PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS
A.
Dates of Distributions
Subject to and consistent with the terms of the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, and except as otherwise provided in this Plan, on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (or if a Claim is not an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest on the Effective Date, on the date that such Claim or Equity Interest becomes an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter), each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest against the Debtors shall receive the full amount of the distributions that this Plan or the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, as applicable, provides for Allowed Claims or Equity Interests in the applicable Class and in the manner provided herein. In the event that any payment or act under this Plan is required to be made or performed on a date that is not on a Business Day, then the making of such payment or the performance of such act may be completed on the next succeeding Business Day, but shall be deemed to have been completed as of the required date. If and to the extent there are Disputed Claims or Equity Interests, distributions on account of any such Disputed Claims or Equity Interests shall be made pursuant to the provisions provided in this Plan. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan or the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, Holders of Claims and Equity Interests shall not be entitled to interest, dividends or accruals on the distributions provided for therein, regardless of whether distributions are delivered on or at any time after the Effective Date.
Upon the Effective Date, all Claims and Equity Interests against the Debtors shall be deemed fixed and adjusted pursuant to this Plan and the Debtors shall have no liability on account of any Claims or Equity Interests except as set forth in this Plan and in the Confirmation Order.

The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and the Distribution Agent, and each of their respective agents, successors, and assigns shall have no obligation to recognize the transfer of any Claims against the Debtors or Equity Interests in the Debtors occurring after the Distribution Record Date and shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal for all purposes hereunder with only those record holders stated on the transfer ledgers as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date irrespective of the number of distributions to be made under this Plan to such Persons or the date of such distributions.

Subject to and consistent with the terms of the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, and except as provided herein, all distributions under this Plan shall be made by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, as Distribution Agent, or by such other Entity designated by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, as a Distribution Agent on the Effective Date or thereafter. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, or such other Entity designated by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, to be the Distribution Agent, shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of such Distribution Agent’s duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

None of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any Distribution Agent shall have any obligation to make a particular distribution to a specific Holder of an Allowed Claim if such Holder is also the Holder of a Disputed Claim.
C.
Disputed Claims Reserve
Prior to, or concurrently with, the occurrence of the Consummation Date, if the Debtors have paid in full the Early Payoff Amount or the Payoff Amount to the Prepetition Agent, the Debtors shall establish, fund, and maintain a reserve in an amount determined by the Debtors in good faith to be sufficient to pay all Disputed Claims and accrued and unpaid Administrative Expense Claims and Professional Fee Claims (the “Disputed Claims Reserve”). Any payments to be made under this Plan after the Consummation Date shall be paid from the Disputed Claims Reserve. Upon the resolution of all Disputed Claims, Administrative Expense Claims Filed by the applicable Administrative Expense Claims Bar Date, and Professional Fee Claims Filed by the Professional Fee Claims Bar Date, funds remaining in the Disputed Claims Reserve shall be remitted to the Reorganized Debtors.
If unsold Collateral is transferred to the Prepetition Agent (or its designee) pursuant to the terms of the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, (i) the Debtors and the Lender Parties shall determine in good faith an amount sufficient to pay all Disputed Claims and accrued and unpaid Administrative Expense Claims and Professional Fee Claims (and if no such agreement can be reached, the Bankruptcy Court shall determine the appropriate amount) and such amount shall not be transferred to the Prepetition Agent (or its designee) but, rather, shall be deposited in the Disputed Claims Reserve, (ii) the Disputed Claims Reserve shall be under the control of, and managed by, an independent third party mutually agreeable to the Debtors and the Lender Parties or, if no such agreement can be reached, selected by the Bankruptcy Court, (iii) the Lender Parties shall be granted a Lien over the Disputed Claims Reserve (which Lien shall be subordinate to the interests of the holders of Disputed Claims and accrued and unpaid Administrative Expense Claims and Professional Fee Claims until such Claims are paid in full or Disallowed), and (iv) upon the resolution of all Disputed Claims, Administrative Expense Claims Filed by the Administrative Expense Claims Bar Date, and Professional Fee Claims Filed by the Professional Fee Claims Bar Date, funds remaining in the Disputed Claims Reserve shall be remitted to the Prepetition Agent (or its designee).
Upon the funding of the Disputed Claims Reserve, the Debtors shall notify the United States Trustee of the amount funded.

Cash Distributions
Distributions of Cash may be made by wire transfer from a domestic bank, except that Cash payments made to foreign creditors may be made in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction.
E.
Rounding of Payments
Whenever this Plan would otherwise call for, with respect to a particular Person, payment of a fraction of a dollar, the actual payment or distribution 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 to be distributed under this Plan remains undistributed as a result of the aforementioned rounding, such Cash or stock shall be treated as “Unclaimed Property” under this Plan.
F.
De Minimis Distribution
Except as to any Allowed Claim that is Unimpaired under this Plan, none of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Distribution Agent shall have any obligation to make any Plan Distributions with a value of less than $100, unless a written request therefor is received by the Distribution Agent from the relevant recipient at the addresses set forth in Article XIII.J hereof within 120 days after the later of the (i) Effective Date and (ii) the date such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. De minimis distributions for which no such request is timely received shall revert to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable. Upon such reversion, the relevant Allowed Claim (and any Claim on account of missed distributions) shall be automatically deemed satisfied, discharged and forever barred, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary.
G.
Distributions on Account of Claims Allowed After the Effective Date
Except as otherwise agreed by the Holder of a particular Claim or as provided in this Plan, all distributions shall be made pursuant to the terms of this Plan and the Confirmation Order. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, distributions to any Holder of an Allowed Claim shall be allocated first to the principal amount of any such Allowed Claim, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds such amount, to the remainder of such Claim comprising accrued but unpaid interest, if any (but solely to the extent that interest is an allowable portion of such Allowed Claim).
H.
General Distribution Procedures
Subject to and consistent with the terms of the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, or any other duly appointed Distribution Agent, shall make all distributions of Cash or other property required under this Plan, unless this Plan specifically provides otherwise. All Cash and other property held by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, for distribution under this Plan shall not be subject to any claim by any Person, except as provided under this Plan, the DIP Financing Documents, and the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents.
I.
Address for Delivery of Distributions
Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims, to the extent provided for under this Plan, shall be made (1) at the address set forth on any Proofs of Claim Filed by such Holders (to the extent such Proofs of Claim are Filed in the Chapter 11 Cases), (2) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address change delivered to the Debtors, or (3) at the addresses in the Debtors’ books and records.
J.
Undeliverable Distributions and Unclaimed Property
If the distribution to the Holder of any Allowed Claim is returned to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors as undeliverable, no further distribution shall be made to such Holder, and the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall have no obligation to make any further distribution to the Holder, unless and until the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors are notified in writing of such Holder’s then current address.
Any Entity that fails to claim any Cash within one (1) year from the date upon which a distribution is first made to such Entity shall forfeit all rights to any distribution under this Plan. Entities that fail to claim Cash shall forfeit their rights thereto and shall have no claim whatsoever against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors or against any Holder of an Allowed Claim to whom distributions are made by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors.
K.
Withholding Taxes
In connection with this Plan, to the extent applicable, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions made pursuant to this Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall be entitled to deduct any U.S. federal, state or local withholding taxes from any Cash payments made with respect to Allowed Claims, as appropriate. As a condition to receiving any distribution under this Plan, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors may require that the Holder of an Allowed Claim entitled to receive a distribution pursuant to this Plan provide such Holder’s taxpayer identification number and such other information and certification as may be deemed necessary for the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors to comply with applicable tax reporting and withholding laws. Any amounts withheld pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been distributed to and received by the applicable recipient for all purposes of this Plan.
L.
Setoffs
Subject to and consistent with the terms of the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors may, to the extent permitted under applicable law, set off against any Allowed Claim (other than the Prepetition Lender Secured Claim or the DIP Financing Claims) and any distributions to be made pursuant to this Plan on account of such Allowed Claim, the claims, rights and causes of action of any nature that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may hold against the Holder of such Allowed Claim that are not otherwise waived, released or compromised in accordance with this Plan; provided, however, that neither such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors of any such claims, rights and causes of action that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors possesses against such Holder. Any Holder of an Allowed Claim subject to such setoff reserves the right to challenge any such setoff in the Bankruptcy Court or any other court with jurisdiction with respect to such challenge.
M.
Surrender of Cancelled Instruments or Securities
As a condition precedent to receiving any distribution pursuant to this Plan on account of an Allowed Claim evidenced by negotiable instruments, securities, or notes canceled pursuant to Article V of this Plan, the Holder of such Claim will tender the applicable negotiable instruments, securities, or notes evidencing such Claim (or a sworn affidavit identifying the negotiable instruments, securities, or notes formerly held by such Holder and certifying that they have been lost), to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, or another applicable Distribution Agent unless waived in writing by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable.
N.
Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Securities
In addition to any requirements under any applicable agreement and applicable law, any Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest evidenced by a security or note that has been lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed will, in lieu of surrendering such security or note to the extent required by this Plan, deliver to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and other applicable Distribution Agent: (x) evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and other applicable Distribution Agent of such loss, theft, mutilation, or destruction; and (y) such security or indemnity as may be required by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and other applicable Distribution Agent to hold such party harmless from any damages, liabilities, or costs incurred in treating such individual as a Holder of an Allowed Claim. Upon compliance with Article VII.M of this Plan as determined by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, by a Holder of a Claim evidenced by a security or note, such Holder will, for all purposes under this Plan, be deemed to have surrendered such security or note to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and other applicable Distribution Agent.
ARTICLE VIII.
PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CONTINGENT,
UNLIQUIDATED AND DISPUTED CLAIMS
A.
Filing of Proofs of Claim
Each Holder of a Claim shall be required to File a Proof of Claim on or prior to the applicable Bar Date, unless such Claim appears in the Schedules and is not listed as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated, or such Claim has otherwise been Allowed or paid. Unless disputed by the Holder of a Claim (including by filing a Proof of Claim in a higher amount or different classification or priority than as set forth in the Schedules), the amount set forth in the Schedules, subject to any limitations on allowance imposed by section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall constitute the Allowed amount of such Holder’s Claim. The Prepetition Lenders have an Allowed Claim as set forth in the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents and this Plan and, therefore, do not need to File a Proof of Claim.
B.
Disputed Claims
The Debtors shall not seek to resolve or settle any Disputed Claim with respect to any of White Eagle’s life insurance policies for an amount that represents a reduction greater than the lesser of (i) $2 million of the face amount of such policy or (ii) 20% of the face amount of such policy without the prior written consent of the Lender Parties (not to be unreasonably withheld).
Other than as set forth in the preceding paragraph, following the Effective Date, (i) each of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and the Lender Parties may, in their discretion, File with the Bankruptcy Court an objection to the allowance of any Disputed Claim or any other appropriate motion or adversary proceeding with respect thereto. All such objections shall be litigated to Final Order, provided, however, that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may compromise, settle, withdraw or resolve any objections to Claims without further order of the Bankruptcy Court but, with respect to asserted Claims in excess of $1,000,000, only with the prior written consent of the Lender Parties and (ii) unless otherwise provided in the Confirmation Order, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, are authorized to settle, or withdraw any objections to, any Disputed Claim following the Effective Date without further notice to creditors (other than the creditor holding such Disputed Claim) or authorization of the Bankruptcy Court but, with respect to asserted Claims in excess of $1,000,000, only with the prior written consent of the Lender Parties, in which event such Claim shall be deemed to be an Allowed Claim in the amount compromised for purposes of this Plan.
Under no circumstances will any distributions be made on account of any Claim that is not an Allowed Claim.
C.
Procedures Regarding Disputed Claims
No payment or other distribution or treatment shall be made on account of a Disputed Claim, even if a portion of the Claim is not disputed, unless and until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim and the amount of such Allowed Claim is determined by order of the Bankruptcy Court or by stipulation between the Debtors and the Holder of the Claim.
D.
Allowance of Claims and Equity Interests
Following the date on which a Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim after the Distribution Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall pay directly to the Holder of such Allowed Claim the amount provided for under this Plan, as applicable, and in accordance therewith.
The Equity Interests in the Debtors existing as of the Petition Date are deemed Allowed.
1.    Allowance of Claims
After the Consummation Date and subject to the other provisions of this Plan and the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, the Reorganized Debtors will have and will retain any and all rights and defenses under bankruptcy or nonbankruptcy law that the Debtors had with respect to any Claim. Except as expressly provided in this Plan or in any order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases prior to the Effective Date (including, without limitation, the Confirmation Order), no Claim will become an Allowed Claim unless and until such Claim is deemed Allowed under this Plan or the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Court has entered an order, including, without limitation, the Confirmation Order, in the Chapter 11 Cases allowing such Claim. As set forth in Section III.E.3 hereof and the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, the Prepetition Lender Secured Claim is Allowed.
2.    Estimation
Subject to the other provisions of this Plan and the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, the Debtors, prior to the Consummation Date, and the Reorganized Debtors, after the Consummation Date, may, at any time, request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate (a) any Disputed Claim pursuant to applicable law and (b) any contingent or unliquidated Claim pursuant to applicable law, including, without limitation, section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, and the Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 to estimate any Disputed Claim, contingent Claim or unliquidated Claim, including during the litigation concerning any objection to any Claim or during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. All of the aforementioned objection, estimation and resolution procedures are cumulative and not exclusive of one another. Claims may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The rights and objections of all parties are reserved in connection with any such estimation proceeding. The Prepetition Lender Secured Claim and the DIP Financing Claim are Allowed and not Disputed and, therefore, the Prepetition Lender Secured Claim and the DIP Financing Claim are not (and shall not be) subject to estimation (whether by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any other Person).
ARTICLE IX.

All documents and agreements necessary to implement this Plan, including without limitation, the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, in each case in form and substance acceptable to the Debtors and the Prepetition Agent, shall have (a) been tendered for delivery, and (b) been effected by, executed by, or otherwise deemed binding upon, all Entities party thereto and shall be in full force and effect.

B.
Waiver of Conditions
The conditions to effectiveness of this Plan set forth in this Article IX (other than that the Confirmation Order shall have been entered) may be waived by the mutual agreement of the Debtors and the Prepetition Agent without notice, leave or order of the Bankruptcy Court or any formal action other than proceeding to confirm or effectuate this Plan.  The failure to satisfy or waive a condition to the Effective Date may be asserted by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Prepetition Agent regardless of the circumstances giving rise to the failure of such condition to be satisfied.  The failure of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Prepetition Agent to exercise any of the foregoing rights will not be deemed a waiver of any other rights, and each right will be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time.
C.
Effect of Non-Occurrence of Conditions to Effectiveness
If the Effective Date of this Plan does not occur within ten (10) calendar days of entry of the Confirmation Order (unless extended by agreement of the Lender Parties), this Plan will be null and void in all respects and nothing contained in this Plan or the Disclosure Statement will: (a) constitute a waiver or release of any claims by or Claims against or Equity Interests in the Debtors; (b) prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtors, the Prepetition Agent, the Prepetition Lender, any other Holders or any other Entity; (c) constitute an Allowance of any Claim or Equity Interest; provided that the Prepetition Lender Secured Claim shall be an Allowed Claim as set forth in the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents; or (d) constitute an admission, acknowledgment, offer or undertaking by the Debtors, the Prepetition Agent, the Prepetition Lender, any other Holders or any other Entity in any respect.

E.
Exculpation
The Exculpated Parties will neither have nor incur any liability to any Entity for any claims or Causes of Action arising out of any act taken or omitted to be taken on or after the Petition Date and prior to or on the Effective Date in connection with, or related to formulating, negotiating, preparing, disseminating, implementing, administering, confirming or affecting the effectiveness and Consummation of this Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, or any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document created or entered into in connection with this Plan or any other postpetition act taken or omitted to be taken in connection with or in contemplation of the restructuring of the Debtors, the approval of the Disclosure Statement or confirmation, effectiveness, or Consummation of this Plan; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions will have no effect on the liability of any Entity that results from any such act or omission that is determined in a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, further, that each Exculpated Party will be entitled to rely upon the advice of counsel concerning its duties pursuant to, or in connection with, the above referenced documents, actions or inactions; provided, further, however that the foregoing provisions will not apply to any acts, omissions, Claims, Causes of Action or other obligations expressly set forth in and preserved by this Plan, the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, or the Plan Documents.
F.
Preservation of Rights of Action
1.    Maintenance of Causes of Action
Subject to and consistent with the terms of the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, and except as otherwise provided in Article X or elsewhere in this Plan, the Adversary Dismissal Order, or the Confirmation Order, after the Effective Date, the Debtors will retain all rights to commence, pursue, litigate or settle, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action and Litigation Claims, whether existing as of the Petition Date or thereafter arising, in any court or other tribunal including, without limitation, in an adversary proceeding Filed in the Chapter 11 Cases.
After the Consummation Date, the Reorganized Debtors, as the successors in interest to the Debtors and the Estates, may, and will have the exclusive right to, enforce, sue on, settle, compromise, transfer or assign (or decline to do any of the foregoing) any or all of the Litigation Claims without notice to or approval from the Bankruptcy Court.
2.    Preservation of All Causes of Action Not Expressly Settled or Released
Unless a Cause of Action or Litigation Claim against a Holder of a Claim or an Equity Interest or other Entity is expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised or settled in this Plan, the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, or any Final Order (including, without limitation, the Confirmation Order and the Adversary Dismissal Order), the Debtors expressly reserve such Cause of Action or Litigation Claim for later adjudication by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (including, without limitation, Causes of Action and Litigation Claims not specifically identified or of which the Debtors may presently be unaware or that may arise or exist by reason of additional facts or circumstances unknown to the Debtors at this time or facts or circumstances that may change or be different from those the Debtors now believe to exist) and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including, without limitation, the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, waiver, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise) or laches will apply to such Causes of Action or Litigation Claims as a consequence of the confirmation, effectiveness, or consummation of this Plan based on the Disclosure Statement, this Plan or the Confirmation Order, except where such Causes of Action or Litigation Claims have been expressly released in this Plan (including, without limitation, and for the avoidance of doubt, the releases contained in Article X of this Plan) or any other Final Order (including, without limitation, the Confirmation Order). In addition, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve the right to pursue or adopt any claims alleged in any lawsuit in which any Debtor is a plaintiff, defendant or an interested party, against any Entity, including, without limitation, the plaintiffs or co-defendants in such lawsuits.
G.
Injunction
Except as otherwise provided in Article X of this Plan, from and after the Effective Date, all Entities are permanently enjoined from commencing or continuing in any manner, any suit, action or other proceeding, or creating, perfecting or enforcing any lien of any kind, on account of or respecting any claim, demand, liability, obligation, debt, right, Cause of Action, Equity Interest, or remedy released or to be released, exculpated or to be exculpated, or discharged or to be discharged pursuant to this Plan, the Prepetition Lender Settlement Documents, the Adversary Dismissal Order, or the Confirmation Order. By accepting distributions pursuant to this Plan, each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest will be deemed to have specifically consented to this injunction. All injunctions or stays provided for in the Chapter 11 Cases under section 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise, and in existence on the Confirmation Date, will remain in full force and effect until the Consummation Date.
ARTICLE XI.
BINDING NATURE OF PLAN
On the Effective Date, and effective as of the Effective Date, this Plan will bind, and will be deemed binding upon, all Holders of Claims against and Equity Interests in the Debtors and such Holder’s respective successors and assigns, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, notwithstanding whether or not such Holder will receive or retain any property or interest in property under this Plan.
