Unless they file an objection to the assumption of an executory contract or unexpired lease assumed pursuant to Section 7.1 of this Plan prior to the Confirmation Hearing specifically asserting a required cure payment, each executory contract or unexpired lease listed on Schedule 7.1 may be assumed by the Reorganized Debtors without the payment of any cure amount. The applicable Reorganized Debtor shall Cure any defaults respecting each executory contract or unexpired lease assumed pursuant to Section 7.1 of this Plan upon the latest of (i) the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as practicable; (ii) such dates as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court or agreed upon by the Debtors, with the consent of the Informal Committee and after the Effective Date, the applicable Reorganized Debtor; or (iii) the tenth (10th) Business Day after the entry of a Final Order resolving any dispute regarding (a) a Cure amount; (b) the ability of the applicable Reorganized Debtor to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” under the executory contract or unexpired lease assumed pursuant to this Plan in accordance with Section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code; or (c) any matter pertaining to assumption, assignment or the Cure of a particular executory contract or an unexpired lease.

     7.4. Post-Petition Date Contracts and Leases. Subject to the Administrative Claim Bar Date, Executory contracts and unexpired leases entered into and other obligations incurred after the Petition Date by the Debtors shall be performed by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in the ordinary course of its business.

     7.5. Restructuring Agreement. Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute authorization for the assumption on the Effective Date by Reorganized Debtors of the (a) Restructuring Agreement to the extent obligations and rights contained therein remain unperformed and (b) the Risk Management Contracts existing as of the Effective Date.

     7.6. Bar Date. All proofs of Claims with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of any executory contract or unexpired lease shall be filed with Fitzgeralds Gaming Corporation, c/o Ropes & Gray, One International Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, Attention: Don S. DeAmicis and D. Ross Martin, not later than the earlier of the 30th day after the entry of the order approving rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease or the 30th day after the Effective Date. Any Claim not filed within such time shall be forever barred. Notwithstanding the above, the bar date for Scout Development shall be the 30th day after the Effective Date pursuant to Court order.

     7.7. Indemnification Obligations. Any obligations of the Debtors to indemnify any officer, director or employee serving as a fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or program of the Debtors, pursuant to charter, by-laws, contract or applicable state law shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as, an executory contract and rejected by Debtors on the Effective Date.

8. MANNER OF DISTRIBUTION OF PROPERTY UNDER THIS PLAN

     8.1 Surrender of Securities or Debt Instruments. On or before the Distribution Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, each Noteholder shall surrender the Notes evidencing its Allowed Noteholder Deficiency Claim to the Indenture Trustee as the Disbursing Agent for the Class 6 and 9 Claims. No distribution of property hereunder shall be made to or on behalf of any such Noteholder unless and until the Notes are delivered to the Indenture Trustee or the unavailability of such Notes is reasonably established to the satisfaction of Reorganized FGC. In the event any Noteholder seeks to establish the unavailability of the Note evidencing such Allowed Noteholder Deficiency Claim, Reorganized FGC shall, within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of the Noteholder’s evidence of unavailability and statement of indemnity of Reorganized FGC, (i) provide the Noteholder, in writing, with a detailed description regarding the rejection of such evidence and statement of indemnity; or (ii) deliver to the Indenture Trustee a notice of compliance and distribute to such Noteholder any amounts distributable from Reorganized FGC. Any such Noteholder who fails to surrender or cause to be surrendered such Notes or fails to execute and deliver an affidavit of loss and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to Reorganized FGC prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date, shall be deemed to have forfeited all rights and claims in respect of such Notes and shall not participate in any distribution hereunder, and all property in respect of such forfeited distribution, including interest accrued thereon, shall revert to Reorganized FGC notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary.

     8.2 Distribution Record Date. At the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the transfer ledgers of the Indenture Trustee shall be closed, and there shall be no further changes to the record of Noteholders. Reorganized FGC and the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of such Notes occurring after the Distribution Record Date. The Indenture Trustee and Reorganized FGC shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal for all purposes hereunder with only those Noteholders stated on the transfer ledgers as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date.

     8.3 Delivery of Distributions. Distribution of property shall be made by the Indenture Trustee to Noteholders at the addresses contained in the official records of the Indenture Trustee. If any Noteholder’s distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such Noteholder shall be made unless and until the Indenture Trustee and Reorganized FGC are notified of such Noteholder’s then current address, at which time all missed distributions shall be made to such Noteholder without interest. Undeliverable distributions shall be returned to the Indenture Trustee until such distributions are claimed. All claims for undeliverable distributions shall be made on or before the second anniversary of the Effective Date. After such date, all unclaimed property shall revert to Reorganized FGC and the claim of any Noteholder or successor to such Noteholder with respect to such property shall be discharged and forever barred notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary.

     8.4 Cash Option for Bondholders. Each holder of a Class 6 and Class 9 Claim may indicate on its Ballot its election to receive a cash distribution in lieu of distributions of New

26


 

Common Stock. Any such electing holder shall, in lieu of all distributions that it would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 5.1.1(c) and 5.3.1, receive $30.00 per $1000 face amount of Notes owned by such holder. The New Common Stock that would have been distributed to such electing holders shall instead be sold pursuant to the Commitment Agreement.

     12.1. Modification and Amendment.

13. MISCELLANEOUS

     13.1. Filing of Objections to Claims. After the Effective Date, objections to Claims shall be made and objections to Claims made previous thereto shall be pursued by the Reorganized Debtors or any other party properly entitled to do so after notice to the Reorganized Debtors and approval by the Bankruptcy Court. Any objections made after the Effective Date shall be filed and served not later than ninety (90) days after the Effective Date; provided, however, that such period may be extended by order of the Bankruptcy Court for good cause shown.

     13.2. Resolution of Objections After Effective Date; Distributions

       13.2.2. Distributions. In order to facilitate distributions to holders of Allowed Claims, and if and to the extent there are Disputed Claims in any Class, the Disbursing Agent shall set aside in a separate designated reserve account the payments or distributions applicable to such Disputed Claims as if such Disputed Claims were Allowed Claims, pending the allowance or disallowance of such Disputed Claims. In the event that the Reorganized Debtors wish to deposit or hold a lesser amount than required herein and is unable to reach an agreement with the holder of the Disputed Claim or the Disbursing Agent, as the case may be, on the amount to be deposited or held, the Bankruptcy Court shall fix the amount after notice and hearing. Upon Final Order with respect to a Disputed Claim, the holder of such Disputed Claim, to the extent it has been determined to be an Allowed Claim, shall receive from the Disbursing Agent that payment or distribution to which it would have been entitled if the portion of the Claim so allowed had been allowed as of the Effective Date. Such payment or distribution shall be made as soon as practical after the order allowing the Claim has become a Final Order. The balance of the amount

31


 

  held by the Disbursing Agent after such payment applicable to a previously Disputed Claim that has been disallowed in whole and in part, shall be returned to the Reorganized Debtors.
 
       13.2.3. Late-Filed Claims. No claim filed after the Bar Date or, as applicable, the Administrative Claim Bar Date, shall be allowed, and all such Claims are hereby disallowed in full. After the Bar Date or the Administrative Bar Date, as applicable, no Creditor shall be permitted to amend any claim to increase the claimed amount; and any such amendment shall be disallowed to the extent of the late-filed increase in the claimed amount.

     13.3. Effectuating Documents; Further Transactions; Timing. Each officer of the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors is authorized to execute, deliver, file or record such contracts, instruments, releases and other agreements or documents and to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of this Plan and any securities issued, transferred or canceled pursuant to this Plan. The Debtors and Reorganized Debtors are authorized and directed to do such acts and execute such documents as are necessary to implement this Plan.

     13.4. Exemption from Transfer Taxes. Pursuant to Section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, (i) the issuance, distribution, transfer or exchange of Estate property; (ii) the creation, modification, consolidation or recording of any deed of trust or other security interest, the securing of additional indebtedness by such means or by other means in furtherance of, or connection with this Plan or the Confirmation Order; (iii) the making, assignment, modification or recording of any lease or sublease; or (iv) the making, delivery or recording of a deed or other instrument of transfer under, in furtherance of, or in connection with, this Plan, Confirmation Order or any transaction contemplated above, or any transactions arising out of, contemplated by or in any way related to the foregoing shall not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, stamp act or real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax or other similar tax or governmental assessment and the appropriate state of local government officials or agents shall be, and hereby are, directed to forego the collection of any such tax or assessment and to accept for filing or recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax or assessment.

     13.5. Revocation or Withdrawal of this Plan. The Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw this Plan as to any one or all of Debtors at any time prior to the Confirmation Date. If this Plan is withdrawn or revoked, then this Plan shall be deemed null and void and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or release of any Claims by or against the Debtors or any other Person nor shall the withdrawal or revocation of this Plan prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtors or any Person in any further proceedings involving the Debtors. In the event this Plan is withdrawn or revoked, nothing set forth herein shall be deemed an admission of any sort and this Plan and any transaction contemplated thereby shall not be admitted into evidence in any proceeding.

     13.6. Binding Effect. This Plan shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Debtors and the holders of all Claims and Equity Securities and their respective successors and assigns.

     13.7. Governing Law. Except to the extent that the Bankruptcy Code or other federal law is applicable or as provided in any contract, instrument, release or other agreement entered into

32


 

in connection with this Plan or in any document which remains unaltered by this Plan, the rights, duties and obligations of the Debtors and any other Person arising under this Plan shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Nevada without giving effect to Nevada’s choice of law provisions.

     13.8. Modification of Payment Terms. Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to modify the treatment of any Allowed Claim in any manner adverse only to the holder of such Allowed Claim at any time after the Effective Date upon the prior written consent of the holder whose Allowed Claim treatment is being adversely affected.

     13.9. Providing for Claims Payments. Except for the Indenture Trustee and Noteholders in Classes 6 and 9, distributions to holders of Allowed Claims shall be made by the Disbursing Agent: (i) at the addresses set forth on the proofs of Claim filed by such holders (or at the last known addresses of such holders if no proof of Claim is filed or if the Debtor has been notified of a change of address); (ii) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Disbursing Agent after the date of any related proof of Claim; or (iii) at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if no proof of Claim has been filed and the Disbursing Agent has not received a written notice of a change of address. If any holder’s distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such holder shall be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent is notified of such holder’s then current address, at which time all missed distributions shall be made to such holder without interest. Amounts in respect of undeliverable distributions made through the Disbursing Agent shall be returned to Reorganized Debtors until such distributions are claimed. All claims for undeliverable distributions shall be made on or before the second anniversary of the Effective Date. After such date, all unclaimed property shall revert to Reorganized Debtors and the Claim of any holder or successor to such holder with respect to such property shall be discharged and forever barred notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. Nothing contained in this Plan shall require the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent to attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed Claim.

     13.10. Set Offs. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors may, but shall not be required to, set off or recoup against any Claim and the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to this Plan in respect of such Claim (before any distribution is made on account of such Claim), claims of any nature whatsoever that the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtors may have against the holder of such Claim to the extent such Claims may be set off or recouped under applicable law, but neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors of any such claim that it may have against such holder.

     13.11. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be provided under this Plan shall be in writing and served by either: (a) certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; (b) hand delivery or (c) reputable overnight courier service, freight prepaid, to be addressed as follows:

Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of this Plan shall remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated by such holding, alteration or interpretation.
