(c)

Reduction of DIP Lender Claims.


(1)

Insurance Proceeds Attributable to Collateral.  From and after the Effective Date, to the extent that any insurance proceeds attributable to Collateral securing the DIP Lender Claims are recovered/recoverable, the DIP Agent for the benefit of the DIP Lenders shall be entitled to receive such insurance proceeds directly from the applicable insurance carrier (and to the extent received by the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trustee shall be immediately paid by the Reorganized Debtors or Litigation Trustee, as applicable, to the Heartland Bank for the benefit of the lenders under the APA), but only to the extent of the value of the DIP Lenders’ interest in such Collateral, and in no event shall the DIP Lenders receive more than 100% of the value of their interest in the Collateral from any source or set of sources.  The DIP Lender Claims shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar, for insurance proceeds paid to Heartland Bank under this section.  In the event of any dispute regarding application of insurance proceeds, the Bankruptcy Court shall be the exclusive forum within which to resolve such dispute.

TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND EQUITY INTERESTS

Class 1(a) – Magna Secured Claims.  To the extent the Magna Secured Claim has an Allowed Secured Claim, and except to the extent the holder agrees to a different



14


McKool 1171978v2



treatment, on the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, the holder of the Magna Secured Claim shall receive in full satisfaction of such Claim, Cash in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the unpaid amount of such Allowed Secured Claim—including, for the avoidance of doubt, contract interest.  The Liens securing such Allowed Magna Secured Claim shall be deemed released upon payment in accordance with such clause.  To the extent Magna’s Claims are determined to be unsecured by Final Order, such unsecured Claims will be treated under Class 4.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Notwithstanding the foregoing, Brent Mulliniks and Billy Cox will receive no distribution on account of their respective Subordinated Seller Note Claims, which are discharged under this Plan, and the Liens securing such Claims will be released and discharged on the Effective Date. All Claims held by Mr. Mulliniks and Mr. Cox are treated as provided in Section 4.3 of this Plan and the Mediated Settlement Agreement.  


(a)

Class 1(c) – Other Secured Claims. To the extent Allowed as a Secured Claim, and except to the extent a holder of an Allowed Secured Claim agrees to a different treatment, on the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, each holder of a Secured Claim shall receive, at the option of the Reorganized Debtors, and in full satisfaction of such Claim, either (i) Cash in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the unpaid amount of such Allowed Secured Claim, (ii) the proceeds of the sale or disposition of Collateral securing such Allowed Secured Claim, (iii) the return of the Collateral securing such Allowed Secured Claims (iv) such treatment that leaves unaltered the legal, equitable, and contractual rights to which the holder of such Claim is entitled, or (v) such other distribution as necessary to satisfy the requirement of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.

15


McKool 1171978v2




(b)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any insurance proceeds attributable to Collateral securing an Allowed Class 1(a), (b) or (c) Secured Claim are recovered/recoverable, the holder of such Allowed Secured Claim shall be entitled to receive such insurance proceeds directly from the applicable insurance carrier (and to the extent received by the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trustee shall be immediately paid by the Reorganized Debtors or Litigation Trustee, as applicable, to such holder), but only to the extent of the value of the holder’s interest in such Collateral, and in no event shall the holder of an Allowed Secured Claim receive more than 100% of the value of its interest in the Collateral from any source or set of sources.  In the event of any dispute regarding application of insurance proceeds, the Bankruptcy Court shall be the exclusive forum within which to resolve such dispute.

4.2

Class 2 – Priority Non-Tax Claims. Except to the extent a holder of an Allowed Priority Non-Tax Claim agrees to a different treatment, on the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, each such holder shall receive, in full satisfaction of such Claim, an amount in Cash equal to the Allowed amount of such Claim.

4.3

Class 2a:  Mulliniks/Cox Priority Claims (based on the Mediated Settlement Agreement)


All Claims of Billy Cox, Jr. and Brent Mulliniks relating to any of the Debtors (including without limitation the Subordinated Seller Note Claims held by Mr. Cox and Mr. Mulliniks) shall be dealt with only as set forth in the Mediated Settlement Agreement  and this Section 4.3.  To the extent this Plan conflicts with Mediated Settlement Agreement regarding the treatment of the Claims of Mr. Cox and Mr. Mulliniks, the Mediated Settlement Agreement controls that treatment.  


Brent Mulliniks and Billy Cox, Jr. shall be  Allowed the Mulliniks/Cox Priority Claims totaling, collectively, $150,000, with such Mulliniks/Cox Priority Claim of Brent Mulliniks totaling $75,000.00, individually, and such Mulliniks/Cox Priority Claim of Billy Cox, Jr. totaling $ 75,000.00.  


The Mulliniks/Cox Priority Claims shall be Class 2a under this Plan and shall only be enforceable against the Chapter 11 estates through a confirmed Chapter 11 Plan. On the Effective Date, and in full satisfaction of the Mulliniks/Cox Priority Claims, Billy Cox and Brent Mulliniks shall receive priority beneficial interests in the Litigation Trust; provided, however, that no distribution shall be made on account of such priority beneficial interests until all of the Chapter 11 Estates’ claims against Brent Mulliniks and Billy Cox, Jr. have been fully resolved, through judgment, settlement or, or otherwise.  


The Litigation Trustee will reserve the first $150,000 received by the Litigation Trust after payment of all Postpetition Obligations and advances to the Litigation Trust (but in no event to cumulatively exceed $500,000).  Immediately after the final resolution (whether by way of settlement or entry of a final and non-appealable judgment) of all of the claims of the Chapter 11 Estates asserted against Billy Cox, Jr. and Brent Mulliniks by the Litigation Trust, the Litigation Trustee will distribute



16


McKool 1171978v2



to Mr. Cox and Mr. Mulliniks the $150,000 reserved for distribution on account of  such priority beneficial interest of Mr. Cox and Mr. Mulliniks in accordance with their respective Mulliniks/Cox Priority Claims, minus the amount of any final and non-appealable judgment obtained by the Litigation Trust against  Mr. Cox and  Mr. Mulliniks, respectively, for which there are inadequate or no insurance proceeds available to pay such a judgment.  


Billy Cox, Jr. and Brent Mulliniks’ right to a distribution on account of their priority beneficial interests in the Litigation Trust is senior to the right of any other holder (but subject to an amount up to $500,000 as described earlier in this section 4.3) of a beneficial interest in the Litigation Trust to receive distributions from the Litigation Trust in accordance with the Waterfall and is subject only to the offset for judgment(s) obtained against  Mr. Cox and  Mr. Mulliniks and settlement payments as described in this section 4.3.  


The Litigation Trust will be vested with, and pending distribution of the $150,000.00 (subject to the offset above) will not divest itself of (but, of course, may retain contingency fee counsel on standard terms), all litigation rights and Causes of Action of the Chapter 11 Estates, including without limitation all matters disclosed in the Disclosure Statement.  Accordingly, collections from fraudulent conveyances, preferences, breach of fiduciary duty suits and all other matters will be placed into the Litigation Trust for distribution as set forth in this Plan, and the right of Mr. Cox and Mr. Mulliniks to the distribution of the first $150,000 received by the Litigation Trust may offset, but not otherwise release or discharge, any Causes of Action of the Litigation Trust.

4.4

Class 3 – Convenience Claims.  On the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, each holder of an Allowed Convenience Class Claim shall receive, in full satisfaction of such Claim, Cash in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the unpaid amount of such Claim.

4.5

Class 4 – General Unsecured Claims.  In accordance with sections 6.3(j) and 6.4, below, each holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim shall receive, in full satisfaction of such Claim: (i) its Pro Rata Share of 5% of the New HIIT Common Stock; and (ii) its Pro Rata Share of the Unsecured Creditor Beneficial Trust Interest, in accordance with the Waterfall on account of which such holder shall receive, as soon as is reasonably practicable after the Litigation Trustee, from time to time, determines that there is sufficient Distributable Trust Cash to make a distribution to Litigation Trust Beneficiaries, its Pro Rata Share of such Distributable Trust Cash based upon such Pro Rata Share of the Unsecured Creditor Beneficial Trust Interest in accordance with the Waterfall; provided, however, that the maximum amount recoverable by holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims shall be the Allowed amount of such Claims, without interest.

4.6

Class 5 – Subordinated Claims.  Holders of Subordinated Claims will not receive any property or distribution on account of their Claims; nor will they retain any claim against the Debtors, their Estates, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Litigation Trust.  Each holder of an Allowed Claim in Class 5 shall be deemed to reject the Plan.


17


McKool 1171978v2



4.7

Class 6 – Equity Interests. All prepetition Equity Interests in HIIT Technologies, Inc. shall be cancelled on the Effective Date. Each holder of an Equity Interest in HII Technologies, Inc. shall neither receive nor retain any property or interest on account of such Equity Interest.  Reorganized HIIT shall retain its Equity Interests in the remaining Reorganized Debtors.

Distributions of Cash. At the option of the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trustee, as applicable, any Cash payment to be made under the Plan or the Litigation Trust, as applicable, may be made by check or wire transfer or as otherwise required or provided in applicable agreements.

Subject to Bankruptcy Rule 9010, all distributions to any holder of an Allowed Claim shall be made at the address of such holder as set forth on the Schedules filed with the Bankruptcy Court or on the books and records of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors or their agents or in a letter of transmittal unless the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trustee, as applicable, have/has been notified in writing of a change of address, including, without limitation, by the filing of a proof of Claim by such holder that contains an address for such holder different from the address reflected on such Schedules for such holder. In the event that any distribution to any holder is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such holder shall be made unless and until the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trustee, as applicable, are/is notified of such holder’s then-current address, at which time all missed distributions shall be made to such holder, without interest. All demands for undeliverable distributions shall be made on or before


18


McKool 1171978v2



ninety (90) days after the date such undeliverable distribution was initially made. Thereafter, the amount represented by such undeliverable distribution shall irrevocably revert to the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trust, as applicable, and any Claim in respect of such undeliverable distribution shall be discharged and forever barred from assertion against the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trust, and their respective property.

5.4

Withholding and Reporting Requirements.  In connection with the Plan and all instruments issued in connection therewith and distributed thereon, any party issuing any instrument or making any distribution under the Plan shall comply with all applicable withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, or local taxing authority, and all distributions under the Plan and all related agreements shall be subject to any such withholding or reporting requirements. In the case of a non-Cash distribution under the Plan and all related agreements shall be subject to any such holding or reporting requirements. In the case of a non-Cash distribution that is subject to withholding, the distributing party may withhold an appropriate portion of such distributed property and sell such withheld property to generate Cash necessary to pay over the withholding tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each holder of an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest that receives a distribution under the Plan shall have responsibility for any taxes imposed by any governmental unit, including income, withholding, and other taxes, on account of such distribution.  The aggregate consideration to be distributed to holders of Claims in each Class will be allocated first to the principal amount of such Claim, with any excess allocated to untaxed interest that accrued on such Claim, if any.

Checks issued by the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trustee, as applicable, in respect of Allowed Claims shall be null and void if not negotiated within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of issuance thereof.

19


McKool 1171978v2



5.7

Setoffs. The Reorganized Debtors and/or the Litigation Trustee may, but shall not be required to, set off against any Claim (for purposes of determining the Allowed amount of such Claim on which distribution shall be made), any claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors, their Estates, the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trust may have against the holder of such Claim, but neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors, their Estates, the Reorganized Debtors, the Litigation Trust and/or the Litigation Trustee, as applicable, of any such claim the Debtors, their Estates, the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trust may have against the holder of such Claim.

5.8

ARTICLE VI


MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION AND EXECUTION OF THE PLAN

(a)

Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the approval, pursuant to section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, effective as of the Effective Date, of the substantive consolidation of the Debtors and their respective Estates for voting, confirmation, and distribution purposes under the Plan. Solely for such purposes, on and after the Effective Date, (i) all assets and all liabilities of the Debtors and their Estates shall be deemed merged into Reorganized HIIT, (ii) all guaranties of any Debtor of the payment, performance, or collection of obligations of another Debtor shall be eliminated and cancelled, (iii) any obligation of any Debtor and all guaranties thereof executed by one or more of the other Debtors shall be treated as a single obligation, and such guaranties shall be deemed a single Claim against the consolidated Debtors, (iv) all joint obligations of two or more Debtors and all multiple Claims against such entities on account of such joint obligations shall be treated and allowed only as a single Claim against the consolidated Debtors and shall be treated and allowed only as a single Claim against the consolidated Debtors, (v) all Claims between or among the Debtors shall be cancelled, and (vi) each Claim filed in the Chapter 11 Case of any Debtor shall be deemed filed against the consolidated Debtors and a single obligation of the consolidated Debtors on and after the Effective Date.

liabilities of the Reorganized Debtors are not assets or liabilities of the Litigation Trust and assets or liabilities of the Litigation Trust are not assets or liabilities of the Reorganized Debtors.

The Litigation Trust.  This section and the Litigation Trust Agreement sets forth certain of the rights, duties, and obligations of the Litigation Trustee. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this section and the terms of the Litigation Trust Agreement, the terms of the Litigation Trust Agreement shall govern, except that the Litigation Trust Agreement may not vary the terms of the Mediated Settlement Agreement and the priority of payments to the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries as set forth under the Waterfall (Section 1.73 of the Plan).  

(a)

Execution of Litigation Trust Agreement. On the Effective Date, the Litigation Trust Agreement, in a form acceptable to the Debtors, the Committee, the DIP Lenders, and the Litigation Trustee, shall be executed, and all other necessary steps shall be taken to establish the Litigation Trust, which shall be for the benefit of the holders of DIP Lender Claims, of the Allowed Mulliniks/Cox Priority Claims, and of Allowed General Unsecured Claims

Purpose of Litigation Trust. The Litigation Trust shall be established for the sole purpose of liquidating and distributing its assets, in accordance with Treasury Regulation section ###-###-####-4(d), with no objective to continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business, and shall be treated as “grantor trust” for federal and state income tax purposes.  Accordingly,  for all  purposes of the Tax Code, (i) the Debtors shall be treated as having distributed to the beneficiaries of the Trust such beneficiaries’ respective shares (as determined in accordance with the Plan) of the Litigation Trust Assets, (ii) such beneficiaries shall be treated as having received their respective shares of the such Litigation Trust Assets, (iii) such beneficiaries shall be treated as having contributed the respective shares of such Litigation Trust Assets so deemed to have been received them to the Litigation Trust, and (iv) such beneficiaries shall be treated as the grantors and deemed owners of the Litigation Trust. The Litigation Trustee shall, within a reasonable period of time after the Effective Date, make a good faith determination of the value of the Litigation Trust Assets, which valuation shall be made available to the Debtors, the Litigation Trustee, and the beneficiaries of the Litigation Trust.  The Debtors, the Litigation Trustee, and the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries shall use such valuation for all federal income tax purposes.


(c)

Litigation Trust Assets. The Litigation Trust shall consist of the Litigation Trust Assets. On the Effective Date, the Debtors shall transfer all of the Litigation Trust Assets to the Litigation Trust free and clear of all liens, claims, interests and encumbrances. Except as specifically set forth herein, Litigation Trust Beneficiaries, including, without limitation, holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and Allowed Mulliniks/Cox Priority Claims shall look solely to the Litigation Trust Assets for satisfaction of their Claims, and the Litigation Trust Assets shall be available for only Litigation Trust Beneficiaries.    For the avoidance of doubt, the Reorganized Debtors are not beneficiaries of the Litigation Trust and are not entitled to receive any distribution of Litigation Trust Assets.


(d)

The Litigation Trustee. The Litigation Trustee shall be selected by mutual agreement of the Committee and the DIP Lenders, and the identity of the Litigation Trustee and Litigation Trust Representatives shall be disclosed in the Plan Supplement.

The Litigation Trustee shall be responsible for all decisions and duties with respect to the Litigation Trust and the Litigation Trust Assets. In all circumstances, the Litigation Trustee shall act in the best interests of the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries and in furtherance of the purpose of the Litigation Trust.  No bond shall be required of the Litigation Trustee.    


(f)

Establishment of Cash Reserves.  The Litigation Trustee shall consult with the Litigation Trust Representatives regarding the funding of the Litigation Trust Disputed Claims Reserve.

Litigation Trust Tax Matters


(i)

The Litigation Trustee shall be responsible for filing all federal, state and local tax returns for the Litigation Trust.  The Litigation Trustee shall file all federal income tax returns for the Litigation Trust as a grantor trust pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.671-4 unless otherwise required by applicable law.  The Litigation Trustee also will annually send to each beneficiary a separate statement regarding the receipts and expenditures of the Litigation Trust as relevant for U.S. federal income tax purposes and will instruct all such beneficiaries to use such information in preparing their U.S. federal income tax returns  or to forward the appropriate information to such beneficiaries or underlying beneficiaries with instructions to utilize such information in preparing their U.S. federal income tax returns.  The Litigation Trustee shall also file (or cause to be filed) any other statement, return, or a disclosure relating to the Litigation Trust that is required by any governmental entity.


(ii)

The Litigation Trust Assets (other than any assets allocated to the Disputed Claims Reserve) are treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as having been transferred (subject to any obligations relating to those assets) directly to the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries in full or partial satisfaction of their Claims (with each holder receiving an undivided interest in such assets in accordance with their economic interest in such assets), followed by the transfer by the holders to the Litigation Trust in exchange for their respective beneficial interests in the Litigation Trust.




24


McKool 1171978v2



(iii)

Allocations of the taxable income of the Litigation Trust among the beneficiaries shall be determined by reference to the manner in which an amount of Cash representing such taxable income would be distributed (were such cash permitted to be distributed at such time) if, immediately prior to such deemed distribution, the Litigation Trust had distributed all its assets (valued at their book value)  to the Litigation Trust beneficiaries adjusted for prior taxable income and loss and taking into account all prior and concurrent distributions from the Litigation Trust.  Similarly, taxable loss of the Litigation Trust shall be allocated by referenced to the manner in which an economic loss would be borne immediately after a hypothetical liquidating distribution of the remaining Litigation Trust Assets. The tax book value of the Litigation Trust Assets for purposes of this paragraph shall equal their fair market value on the Effective Date, adjusted in accordance with tax accounting principles prescribed by the Tax Code, the applicable Treasury Regulations, and other applicable administrative and judicial authorities and pronouncements.  


(iv)

Subject to definitive guidance from the IRS or a court of competent jurisdiction to the contrary (including receipt by the Litigation Trustee of a private letter ruling if the Litigation Trustee so requests one, or an adverse determination by the IRS upon audit if not contested by the Litigation Trustee), the Litigation Trustee shall (a) timely elect to treat the Disputed Claims Reserve as a “disputed ownership fund” governed by Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-9, and (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, report consistently with the foregoing for state and local income tax purposes.  All parties (including the Litigation Trustee, the Debtors and the beneficiaries) shall report for United States federal, state and local income tax purposes consistently with the foregoing.


(v)

Interests in the Litigation Trust shall be non-transferable and any such transfer shall be disregarded by the Litigation Trustee except with respect to a transfer by will or under the laws of descent and distribution; provided however that such transfer shall not be effective unless and until the Litigation Trustee receives written notice of such transfer.


(vi)

The Litigation Trustee shall be further authorized to (i) administer and pay any domestic or foreign taxes imposed on the Litigation Trust or its assets (including the Disputed Claims Reserve) and (ii) file domestic and foreign tax returns for the Litigation Trust and the Disputed Claims Reserve.  In the event, and to the extent, any Cash retained on account of Disputed Claims in the Disputed Claims Reserve is insufficient to pay the portion of any taxes attributable to the taxable income arising from the assets allocable to, or retained on account of, Disputed Claims, such taxes shall be (a) reimbursed from any subsequent Cash amounts retained on account of Disputed Claims, or (b) to the extent such Disputed Claims have been subsequently resolved, deducted from any amounts otherwise distributable by the Litigation Trustee as a result of the resolution of such Disputed Claims.

6.4

Securities Law Matters.

In reliance upon section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the offer and/or issuance of the New HIIT Common Stock and New HIIT Preferred Convertible Stock by Reorganized HIIT is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any equivalent securities law provisions under state law.

Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court after notice and a hearing, on and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors, the DIP Lenders, the Litigation Trustee, and the United States Trustee shall have the right to the exclusion of all others to object to Administrative Expenses, Compensation and Reimbursement Claims, Priority Tax Claims, Priority Non-Tax Claims, and Secured Claims, but not the Class 2a Mulliniks/Cox Claims Allowed under Section 4.3 of this Plan and the Mediated Settlement Agreement.

(c)

The Reorganized Debtors, Debtors, or the Litigation Trustee, as applicable, shall file with the Bankruptcy Court and serve a copy of each objection upon the holder of the Claim to which the objection is made as soon as practicable, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Date. The Bankruptcy Court shall have the authority on request of the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trustee, as applicable, to extend the foregoing dates ex parte. On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trustee shall have the power and authority to prosecute objections to Disputed Claims. All objections shall be litigated to a Final Order except to the extent the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trustee, as applicable, elects to withdraw any such objection or the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trustee, as applicable, and the holder of such Disputed Claim elect to compromise, settle, or otherwise resolve any such objection, in which event they may compromise, settle, or otherwise resolve any Disputed Claim without approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

McKool 1171978v2



7.2

No Distribution Pending Allowance. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any portion of a Claim is a Disputed Claim, no payment or distribution provided hereunder to the holder thereof shall be made on account of such Claim unless and until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. Until such time, with respect to General Unsecured Claims, the Litigation Trustee shall withhold from the property to be distributed to holders of beneficial interests in the Litigation Trust the portion of such property allocable to such Disputed General Unsecured Claims.  To the extent any Disputed General Unsecured Claim is Disallowed, the Litigation Trust Assets reserved on account thereof shall be distributed to the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims in accordance with section 4.5 of the Plan based upon their recalculated Pro Rata Share thereof.  

7.3

Estimation.

The Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trustee, as applicable, may at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any contingent, unliquidated, or Disputed Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code regardless of whether the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, the Litigation Trustee, or any other party in interest previously objected to such Claim, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim, including, without limitation, during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection.  

In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent, unliquidated, or Disputed Claim, the amount so estimated shall 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 the amount of such Claim, the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trustee, as applicable, may pursue supplementary proceedings to object to the allowance of such Claim.

All the aforementioned objection, estimation, and resolution procedures are intended to be cumulative and not exclusive of one another. On and after the Confirmation Date, Claims that have been estimated may be compromised, settled, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved subsequently (i) without further order of the Bankruptcy Court with the consent of the DIP Lenders, or (ii) with approval of the Bankruptcy Court by Final Order.

On the Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably possible thereafter, Reorganized HIIT and the Litigation Trustee shall establish respective Disputed Claims Reserves for the payment of subsequently Allowed Disputed Claims.

In all instances, the Debtors’ directors (with the exception of Brent Mulliniks) have been entitled to reasonably rely on the advice of counsel retained with Bankruptcy Court approval with respect to their responsibilities relating to the Bankruptcy Case, Prepetition Secured Debt, DIP Loan, and/or Plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee will have until April 1, 2016 to notify the Debtors (with a copy to the DIP Lenders) of any Causes of Action that the Committee believes that the Estates may hold against any director of HIIT.  Any Cause of Action described in this notice will not be released, and such director will not be exculpated from such Claim or cause of action under this section.

13.2

Limitation of Releases as to Disclosed Litigation Targets

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, but subject in all respects to the Mediated Settlement Agreement, the exculpations and releases herein shall not apply to Brent Mulliniks, Billy Cox, Calen Baucom, William Mark Hamilton, Craig Hamilton, Sharon Hamilton, the entities they control or those in active concert with them, the auditors for the Debtors pre-petition, or any entity holding funds for the benefit of the Debtors. The Debtors and their Estates reserve all Causes of Action against such individuals and entities, including, without limitation, Causes of Action for breach of duty, negligence, malpractice, negligent misrepresentation, fraudulent transfer, claims against officers and directors not released in section 13.1, Avoidance Actions and any other claim or cause of action of any nature, whatsoever, whether at law or in equity; and from and after the Effective Date, the Litigation Trustee, as the representative of the Debtors and their Estates pursuant to section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall have standing and the authority to pursue such Causes of Action and other claims and causes of action.

13.3

The Confirmation Order will provide that the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas shall retain jurisdiction over any suit brought on any alleged claim or cause of action related to the Chapter 11 Cases that exists as of the Effective Date, including suit against any of the following parties: (i) the Debtor; (ii) members of the Debtor’s Board of Directors in their representative capacity; (iii) any of the DIP Lenders; (iv) the Professionals retained in the Bankruptcy Case; and (v) any of such parties’ agents, successors and assigns. Any Person wishing to bring such a suit shall do so in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (or, if necessary for the constitutional exercise of jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, if said court has jurisdiction).
