B.                                    Sources of Consideration for Plan Distributions

The Reorganized Debtors shall fund distributions under the Plan as follows:

1.                                      Issuance and Distribution of New Common Equity

The New Common Equity, including options, or other equity awards, if any, reserved under the Management Incentive Plan, shall be authorized on the Effective Date without the need for any further corporate action and without any further action by the holders of Claims or Interests.

All of the shares of New Common Equity issued pursuant to the Plan shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.  Each issuance and/or distribution of the New Common Equity under the Plan shall be governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan applicable to such issuance and/or distribution and by the terms and conditions of the instruments evidencing or relating to such issuance and/or distribution, which terms and conditions shall bind each Entity receiving such distribution or issuance.  For the avoidance of doubt, any claimant’s acceptance of New Common Equity, including any issuance and/or distribution following the Effective Date of New Common Equity comprising the Unsecured Creditor Equity, shall be deemed as its agreement to the New Shareholders’ Agreement, as the same may be amended or modified from time to time following the Effective Date in accordance with its terms.

2.                                      Establishment of the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust

The establishment of the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust in accordance with the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust Agreement, and the deposit of Cash making up the Unsecured Creditor Cash Pool in the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust, in accordance with Article VI.B hereof, shall be authorized on the Effective Date without the need for any further corporate action and without any further action by the holders of Claims or Interests.

The issuance and/or distribution of the New Common Equity comprising the Unsecured Creditor Equity, in accordance with Article VI.C hereof, shall be authorized on the Effective

Date without the need for any further corporate action and without any further action by the holders of Claims or Interests.

4.                                      Exit Financing

On the Effective Date the Reorganized Debtors shall enter into the Exit Financing, the terms of which will be set forth in the Exit Financing Documents.

Confirmation shall be deemed approval of the Exit Financing (including the transactions contemplated thereby, and all actions to be taken, undertakings to be made, and obligations to be incurred and fees paid by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, with the consent of the Majority Backstoppers, in connection therewith), to the extent not approved by the Court previously, and the Reorganized Debtors, with the consent of the Majority Backstoppers, are authorized to execute and deliver those documents necessary or appropriate to obtain the Exit Financing, including the Exit Financing Documents, without further notice to or order of the Court, act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or vote, consent, authorization, or approval of any Person (other than the Majority Backstoppers), subject to such modifications as the Reorganized Debtors may deem to be necessary to consummate the Exit Financing.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated in the Plan or the Plan Supplement, on the Effective Date, each Debtor shall continue to exist after the Effective Date as a separate corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or other form of entity, as the case may be, with all the powers of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or other form of entity, as the case may be, pursuant to the applicable law in the jurisdiction in which each applicable Debtor is incorporated or formed and pursuant to the respective certificate of incorporation and by-laws (or other analogous formation documents) in effect before the Effective Date, except to the extent such certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other analogous formation documents) are amended, with the consent of the Majority Backstoppers, by the Plan or otherwise, and to the extent such documents are amended, such documents are deemed to be amended pursuant to the Plan and require no further action or approval (other than any requisite filings required under applicable state, provincial, or federal law).

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, on the Effective Date, all property in each Estate, all Causes of Action, and any property acquired by any of the Debtors, including Interests held by the Debtors in Non-Debtor Subsidiaries, pursuant to the Plan shall vest in each respective Reorganized Debtor, free and clear of all Liens, Claims, charges, or other encumbrances.  On and after the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, each Reorganized Debtor may operate its business and may use, acquire, or dispose of property, and compromise or settle any Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action without supervision or approval by the Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules.

35

After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may present Court order(s) or assignment(s) suitable for filing in the records of every county or governmental agency where the property vested in accordance with the foregoing paragraph is or was located, which provide that such property is conveyed to and vested in the Reorganized Debtors.  The Court order(s) or assignment(s) may designate all Liens, Claims, encumbrances, or other interests which appear of record and/or from which the property is being transferred, assigned and/or vested free and clear of.  This Plan shall be conclusively deemed to be adequate notice that such Lien, Claim, encumbrance, or other interest is being extinguished and no notice, other than by this Plan, shall be given prior to the presentation of such Court order(s) or assignment(s).  Any Person having a Lien, Claim, encumbrance, or other interest against any of the property vested in accordance with the foregoing paragraph shall be conclusively deemed to have consented to the transfer, assignment and vesting of such property to or in the Reorganized Debtors free and clear of all Liens, Claims, charges or other encumbrances by failing to object to confirmation of this Plan, except as otherwise provided in this Plan.

E.                                     Cancellation of Existing Securities

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan:  (1) the obligations of the Debtors under the DIP Credit Agreement, the Bridge Financing Facility, the Second Lien Credit Agreement, and the Indenture, all Interests in MHRC, and each certificate, share, note, bond, indenture, purchase right, option, warrant, or other instrument or document, directly or indirectly, evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligation of or ownership interest in the Debtors or giving rise to any Claim or Interest shall be cancelled and the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall not have any continuing obligations thereunder; provided that such cancellation of the Second Lien Credit Agreement and such certificates, shares, notes, bonds, indentures, purchase rights, options, warrants, or other instruments or documents shall be only with respect to the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors and shall not (subject in all cases to the release provision set forth in Article VIII) alter the rights or obligations of any non-Debtor parties vis-à-vis one another with respect to the Second Lien Credit Agreement or such certificates, shares, notes, bonds, indentures, purchase rights, options, warrants, or other instruments or documents; and (2) the obligations of the Debtors pursuant, relating, or pertaining to any agreements, indentures, certificates of designation, bylaws, or certificate or articles of incorporation or similar documents governing the shares, certificates, notes, bonds, purchase rights, options, warrants, or other instruments or documents evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligation of the Debtors shall be released and discharged; provided that notwithstanding Confirmation or the occurrence of the Effective Date, any such indenture or agreement that governs the rights of the holder of a Claim or Interest shall continue in effect for purposes of enabling holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests to receive distributions under the Plan as provided herein; provided, further, that the preceding proviso shall not affect the discharge of Claims or Interests pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the Confirmation Order, or the Plan or result in any expense or liability to the Reorganized Debtors, except to the extent set forth in or provided for under the Plan; provided, further, that nothing in this section shall effect a cancellation of any New Common Equity, Intercompany Interests, or Intercompany Claims.

In addition to the foregoing, the Indenture shall continue in effect solely to the extent necessary to (i) allow a disbursing agent or the Indenture Trustee to make distributions to the Noteholders; (ii) permit the Indenture Trustee to assert its Indenture Trustee Charging Lien;

36

(iii) allow the Indenture Trustee to maintain any right of indemnification, contribution, subrogation or any other claim or entitlement it may have under the Indenture; (iv) permit the Indenture Trustee to appear before the Bankruptcy Court after the Effective Date; (v) permit the Indenture Trustee to perform any functions that are necessary to effectuate the foregoing; and (vi) to exercise its rights and obligations relating to the interests of Noteholders.

On and after the Effective Date, all duties and responsibilities of the DIP Facility Agent under the DIP Credit Agreement, Bridge Facility Agent under the Bridge Financing Facility, the Second Lien Agent under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, and the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, as applicable, shall be discharged unless otherwise specifically set forth in or provided for under the Plan or the Plan Supplement.

If the record holder of the Notes is DTC or its nominee or another securities depository or custodian thereof, and such Notes are represented by a global security held by or on behalf of DTC or such other securities depository or custodian, then each such holder of the Notes shall be deemed to have surrendered such holder’s note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness upon surrender of such global security by DTC or such other securities depository or custodian thereof.

F.                                      Corporate Action

Upon the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, all actions contemplated by the Plan shall be deemed authorized and approved by the Court in all respects, including, as applicable:  (1) entry into the Exit Financing; (2) execution and delivery of the Exit Financing Documents; (3) the issuance of the New Common Equity; (4) selection of the directors and officers for Reorganized MHRC and the other Reorganized Debtors; (5) the right of the New MHRC Board to adopt a Management Incentive Plan on terms and conditions determined by the New MHRC Board in accordance with Article IV.N of the Plan; (6) implementation of the Restructuring Transactions; (7) the Eureka Employee Transfer (in accordance with agreements between and among the Debtors and the Eureka Entities, it being understood that no such agreement shall constitute a waiver of any Claims or Causes of Action between and among the Debtors and the Eureka Entities, except to the extent specifically set forth in such agreement); (8) the appointment of the Creditor Claim Representative; (9) the funding and establishment of the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust; and (10)  all other actions contemplated by the Plan (whether to occur before, on, or after the Effective Date).  Upon the Effective Date, all matters provided for in the Plan involving the corporate structure of Reorganized MHRC and the other Reorganized Debtors, and any corporate action required by the Debtors, Reorganized MHRC, or the other Reorganized Debtors in connection with the Plan (including any items listed in the first sentence of this paragraph) shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be in effect, without any requirement of further action by the security holders, directors, or officers of the Debtors, Reorganized MHRC or the other Reorganized Debtors, other than the consent of the Majority Backstoppers, as applicable.  On or (as applicable) before the Effective Date, the appropriate officers of the Debtors, Reorganized MHRC, or the other Reorganized Debtors shall be authorized and (as applicable) directed to issue, execute, and deliver the agreements, documents, securities, and instruments contemplated by the Plan (or necessary or desirable to effect the transactions contemplated by the Plan) in the name of and on behalf of Reorganized MHRC and the other Reorganized Debtors, including the Exit Financing Documents and any and all other

37

agreements, documents, securities, and instruments relating to the foregoing, to the extent not previously authorized by the Court.  The authorizations and approvals contemplated by this Article IV.F shall be effective notwithstanding any requirements under non-bankruptcy law.

G.                                    New Organizational Documents

To the extent required under the Plan or applicable non-bankruptcy law, Reorganized MHRC and the other Reorganized Debtors will, on or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, file their respective New Organizational Documents with the applicable Secretaries of State and/or other applicable authorities in their respective states, provinces, or countries of incorporation in accordance with the corporate laws of the respective states, provinces, or countries of incorporation.  Pursuant to section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, the New Organizational Documents of the Reorganized Debtors will prohibit the issuance of non-voting equity securities and will comply with all other applicable provisions of section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code regarding the distribution of power among, and dividends to be paid to, different classes of voting securities.  After the Effective Date, Reorganized MHRC and the other Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may amend and restate their respective New Organizational Documents and other constituent documents as permitted by the laws of their respective states, provinces, or countries of incorporation and their respective New Organizational Documents.

On the Effective Date, the New Organizational Documents, including, upon agreement by the Debtors and the Majority Backstoppers, the New Shareholders’ Agreement, substantially in forms to be filed with the Plan Supplement, shall be deemed to be valid, binding, and enforceable in accordance with their terms and provisions, such terms and provisions being satisfactory to the Majority Backstoppers and the Reorganized Debtors.  If a New Shareholders’ Agreement is put in place, any holder of a Claim that is to be issued and/or distributed shares of New Common Equity pursuant to the Plan, including any issuance and/or distribution following the Effective Date of the New Common Equity comprising the Unsecured Creditor Equity, shall be deemed to have duly executed and delivered to Reorganized MHRC a counterpart to the New Shareholders’ Agreement, as the same may be amended or modified from time to time following the Effective Date in accordance with its terms.

38

Gary C. Evans shall be the Chief Executive Officer of Reorganized MHRC and the other members of the Debtors’ management team as of the Effective Date will remain in their same positions.

Pursuant to section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors will, to the extent practicable, disclose in advance of the Confirmation Hearing the identity and affiliations of any Person proposed to serve on the initial New Boards, as well as those Persons that will serve as an officer of Reorganized MHRC or any of the Reorganized Debtors.  To the extent any such director or officer is an “insider” under the Bankruptcy Code, the nature of any compensation to be paid to such director or officer will also be disclosed.  Each such director and officer shall serve from and after the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of the New Organizational Documents and other constituent documents of Reorganized MHRC and the Reorganized Debtors.

I.                                        Effectuating Documents; Further Transactions

On and after the Effective Date, Reorganized MHRC, and each of the other Reorganized Debtors, and the officers and members of the New Boards thereof, are authorized to and may issue, execute, deliver, file, or record such contracts, Securities, instruments, releases, and other agreements or documents and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement, and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Securities issued pursuant to the Plan, including the New Common Equity, in the name of and on behalf of Reorganized MHRC or the Reorganized Debtors, without the need for any approvals, authorization, or consents except those expressly required pursuant to the Plan.

J.                                        Exemption from Certain Taxes and Fees

Pursuant to, and to the fullest extent permitted by, section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfers of property pursuant to, in contemplation of, or in connection with, the Plan shall not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, stamp act, real estate transfer tax, sale or use tax, mortgage recording tax, or other similar tax or governmental assessment, and upon entry of the Confirmation Order, the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents shall forgo the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents pursuant to such transfers of property without the payment of any such tax, recordation fee, or governmental assessment.

K.                                    Preservation of Causes of Action

In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, but subject in all respects to Article VIII, Article IV.L, and the last sentence of the first paragraph of this Article IV.K, the Reorganized Debtors shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, including any actions specifically enumerated in the Plan Supplement, and such rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date.  The Reorganized Debtors may pursue such Causes of Action, as appropriate, in accordance with the best interests of the Reorganized Debtors.  No Entity may

39

rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure Statement to any Causes of Action against it as any indication that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against it.  The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan.  Unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Restructuring Support Agreement or the Plan or a Court order, including, without limitation, pursuant to Article VIII and Article IV.L hereof, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, expressly reserve all Causes of Action, for later adjudication, and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise), or laches, shall apply to such Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or Consummation.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no instance will any Cause of Action preserved pursuant to this Article IV.K include any claim or Cause of Action with respect to, or against, a Released Party.

In accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise provided herein, any Causes of Action that a Debtor may hold against any Entity shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors.  The applicable Reorganized Debtors, through their authorized agents or representatives, shall retain and may exclusively enforce any and all such Causes of Action.  The Reorganized Debtors, or, if applicable, the Creditor Claims Representative, shall have the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to determine and to initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any such Causes of Action, and to decline to do any of the foregoing without the consent or approval of any third party or further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Court.

L.                                     Release of Avoidance Actions

On the Effective Date the Debtors, on behalf of themselves and their estates, shall release any and all Avoidance Actions and the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, and any of their successors or assigns, and any Entity acting on behalf of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, shall be deemed to have waived the right to pursue any and all Avoidance Actions, except (i) for Avoidance Actions commenced prior to the Confirmation Date, (ii) for Avoidance Actions brought as counterclaims or defenses to Claims asserted against the Debtors, and (iii) to the extent otherwise reserved in the Plan Supplement.  No Avoidance Actions shall revert to creditors of the Debtors, except as may be necessary to assert by the Creditor Claim Representative in accordance with (ii) or (iii) above.

M.                                 Director and Officer Liability Insurance and Indemnification

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, effective as of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all D&O Liability Insurance Policies (including tail coverage liability insurance) pursuant to section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Court’s approval of the Reorganized Debtors’ assumption of each of such D&O Liability Insurance Policies.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, Confirmation of the Plan shall not discharge, impair, or otherwise modify any indemnity obligations assumed by the foregoing assumption of

40

the D&O Liability Insurance Policies, and each such indemnity obligation will be deemed and treated as an Executory Contract that has been assumed by the Reorganized Debtors under the Plan as to which no Proof of Claim need be filed, and shall survive the Effective Date.

Before the Petition Date, the Debtors obtained reasonably sufficient tail coverage (i.e., director, manager, and officer insurance coverage that extends beyond the end of the policy period) under a D&O Liability Insurance Policy for the current and former directors, officers, and managers.  After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall not terminate or otherwise reduce the coverage under any D&O Liability Insurance Policy (including such tail coverage liability insurance) in effect as of the Effective Date, and all members, managers, directors, and officers of the Debtors who served in such capacity at any time prior to the Effective Date of the Plan shall be entitled to the full benefits of any such policy for the full term of such policy regardless of whether such members, managers, directors, and/or officers remain in such positions after the Effective Date of the Plan.

N.                                    Management Incentive Plan

The percentage of New Common Equity to be set aside for the Management Incentive Plan shall be up to a percentage determined by the Debtors and the Majority Backstoppers prior to the Confirmation Hearing, which maximum percentage shall be disclosed either in the Plan Supplement or the Confirmation Order.  The parameters, incentives, and eligible executives with respect to this Management Incentive Plan shall be determined by the compensation committee of the New MHRC Board, with input to be provided to the New MHRC Board designees by the Backstoppers prior to the Effective Date.  The Confirmation Order shall authorize the New MHRC Board to adopt and enter into the Management Incentive Plan, on the terms set forth in this Article IV.N.  The Management Incentive Plan shall dilute all of the New Common Equity.

O.                                    Employee and Retiree Benefits

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Plan Supplement, and subject to the consent of the Majority Backstoppers (which shall be determined prior to the Confirmation Date), all written employment, severance, retirement, indemnification, and other similar employee-related agreements or arrangements in place as of the Effective Date with the Debtors and the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries, including any key employee incentive plans and/or key employee retention plans that may be approved by the Court in the Chapter 11 Cases and any items approved as part of the Confirmation Order (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all obligations arising from the Chapter 11 Compensation Order), retirement income plans and welfare benefit plans, or discretionary bonus plans or variable incentive plans regarding payment of a percentage of annual salary based on performance goals and financial targets for certain employees, shall be assumed by the Reorganized Debtors and shall remain in place after the Effective Date, as may be amended by agreement between the beneficiaries of such agreements, plans, or arrangements, on the one hand, and the Debtors, on the other hand, or, after the Effective Date, by agreement with the Reorganized Debtors, and the Reorganized Debtors will continue to honor such agreements, arrangements, programs, and plans; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any equity-based compensation, agreement, or arrangement existing as of the Petition Date.  Nothing in the Plan shall limit, diminish, or otherwise alter the Reorganized Debtors’ defenses, claims, Causes of Action, or other rights with respect to any

41

such contracts, agreements, policies, programs, and plans.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code, on and after the Effective Date, all retiree benefits (as that term is defined in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code), if any, shall continue to be paid in accordance with applicable law.

P.                                      Payment of Fees and Expenses of the Indenture Trustee

Prior to the Effective Date (and thereafter with respect to fees and expenses relating to post-Effective Date service under the Plan), the Debtors shall pay in Cash all unpaid reasonable and documented Indenture Trustee Fees without application or approval of the Bankruptcy Court and without a reduction to recoveries of the Noteholders.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein affects the Indenture Trustee’s right to exercise its Indenture Trustee Charging Lien against distributions to holders of the Notes.

The Indenture Trustee shall provide reasonably detailed invoices to the Reorganized Debtors no later than five (5) days prior to the Effective Date (subject to redaction to preserve attorney-client privilege).  If the Reorganized Debtors dispute any requested Indenture Trustee Fees, the Reorganized Debtors shall (i) pay the undisputed portion of the Indenture Trustee Fees, and (ii) notify the Indenture Trustee of such dispute within two (2) days after presentment of the invoices by the Indenture Trustee.  Upon such notification, the Indenture Trustee shall submit such dispute for resolution by the Bankruptcy Court; provided, however, that the Bankruptcy Court’s review shall be limited to a determination under the reasonableness standard in accordance with the Indenture.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to impair, waive, discharge or negatively impact the Indenture Trustee Charging Lien.

To the extent that the Indenture Trustee provides services, or incurs costs or expenses, including professional fees, related to or in connection with the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or the Indenture before, on or after the Effective Date, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive from the Reorganized Debtors, without further Bankruptcy Court approval, reasonable compensation for such services and reimbursement of reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such services.  The payment of such compensation and expenses will be made promptly and on the terms provided herein or as otherwise agreed to by the Indenture Trustee and the Reorganized Debtors.

Q.                                    Payment of Fees and Expenses of the Bridge Facility Agent

Prior to the Effective Date (and thereafter with respect to fees and expenses relating to post-Effective Date service under the Plan), the Debtors shall pay in Cash all reasonable and documented unpaid fees and expenses of the Bridge Facility Agent and its advisors, including counsel.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein affects the Bridge Facility Agent’s right to indemnification and the payment of fees and expenses by the lenders pursuant to the Bridge Financing Facility.

R.                                    Payment of Fees and Expenses of the DIP Facility Agent

Prior to the Effective Date (and thereafter with respect to fees and expenses relating to post-Effective Date service under the Plan), the Debtors shall pay in Cash all reasonable and documented unpaid fees and expenses of the DIP Facility Agent and its advisors, including

42

counsel.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein affects the DIP Facility Agent’s right to indemnification and the payment of fees and expenses by the lenders pursuant to the DIP Credit Agreement.

S.                                      Payment of Fees and Expenses of the Second Lien Agent

Prior to the Effective Date (and thereafter with respect to fees and expenses relating to post-Effective Date service under the Plan), the Debtors shall pay in Cash all reasonable and documented unpaid fees and expenses of the Second Lien Agent and its advisors, including counsel.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein affects the Second Lien Agent’s right to indemnification and the payment of fees and expenses by the lenders pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Agreement.

T.                                     Preservation of Royalty and Working Interests

Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, but subject in all respect to all payments authorized and made pursuant to the Royalty Order, on and after the Effective Date all Royalty and Working Interests shall be fully preserved and remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of the granting instruments or other governing documents applicable to such Royalty and Working Interests, which granting instruments and governing documents shall equally remain in full force and effect, and no Royalty and Working Interests or any liabilities and obligations arising therefrom, including payment obligations, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, shall be compromised or discharged by the Plan.

ARTICLE V.
TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

A.                                    Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

On the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided herein, all Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases will be deemed assumed and assigned to the Reorganized Debtors or their designated assignee in accordance with the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, regardless of whether such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is set forth on the Schedule of Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, other than:  (1) those that are identified on the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; (2) those that have been previously rejected by a Final Order, including those that are subject to a notice issued pursuant to the Contract Procedures Order; (3) those that are the subject of a motion to reject Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that is pending on the Confirmation Date; or (4) those that are subject to a motion to reject an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to which the requested effective date of such rejection is after the Effective Date.

Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute a Court order approving the assumptions, assumptions and assignments, or rejections of such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases as set forth in the Plan or the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases and the Schedule of Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Unless otherwise indicated, assumptions or rejections of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to the Plan are

43

effective as of the Effective Date.  Each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan or by Court order but not assigned to a third party before the Effective Date shall re-vest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable contracting Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as such terms may have been modified by the provisions of the Plan or any order of the Court authorizing and providing for its assumption under applicable federal law.  Any motions to assume Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases pending on the Effective Date shall be subject to approval by the Court on or after the Effective Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, (a) the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, with the consent of the Majority Backstoppers, reserve the right to alter, amend, modify, or supplement the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases at any time through and including 24 days after the Effective Date and (b) that certain Payment and Indemnity Agreement No. 0828, dated as of February 4, 2010 (as amended and/or supplemented thereto), between the Debtors and US Specialty Insurance Company shall be assumed, and any obligations owed to US Specialty Insurance Company with respect thereto shall be Allowed Administrative Claims under the Plan pursuant to Article II.A hereof, without the need for filing further Proofs of Claim or requests for payment of Administrative Claims.  Further, to the extent that US Specialty Insurance Company pays any Claim of a third-party on account of its obligations as surety and subrogates to such Claim, such Claim shall not be disallowed pursuant to Article VI.K.1 hereof.

B.                                    Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases

Counterparties to Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases listed on the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases shall be promptly served with a notice of rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases substantially in the form approved by the Court pursuant to the Court order approving the Disclosure Statement.  Proofs of Claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, if any, must be filed with the Court within the earliest to occur of (1) thirty days after the date of entry of an order of the Court (including the Confirmation Order) approving such rejection or (2) thirty days after notice of any rejection that occurs after the Effective Date; provided that in no event will the deadline for filing Proofs of Claim arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases exceed the Outside Rejection Damages Claim Deadline, and all notices of rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases shall be served on affected counterparties at least 30 calendar days before the Outside Rejection Damages Claim Deadline.  Any Claims arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that are not Filed within such time will be automatically Disallowed, forever barred from assertion, and shall not be enforceable against, as applicable, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Estates, or property of the foregoing parties, without the need for any objection by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, or further notice to, or action, order, or approval of the Court or any other Entity, and any Claim arising out of the rejection of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged, notwithstanding anything in the Schedules or a Proof of Claim to the contrary.  Claims arising from the rejection of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases shall be classified as General Unsecured Claims and shall be treated in accordance with Article III.B.7(a) or Article III.B.7(b) of the Plan, as applicable, and, to the extent such Claim is not a Convenience Claim, holders of such Claims shall have the option to choose the treatment afforded in the Unsecured Creditor Equity Option on their Proof of Claim form.  All notices of

44

rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases shall include instructions for choosing the treatment afforded in the Unsecured Creditor Equity Option on the Proof of Claim Form.

C.                                    Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

Any monetary defaults under an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed or assumed and assigned, as reflected on a Cure Notice shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the default amount in Cash on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, subject to the limitations described below, or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases may otherwise agree.  In the event of a dispute regarding (1) the amount of any payments to cure such a default, (2) the ability of 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 or Unexpired Lease to be assumed, or (3) any other matter pertaining to assumption or assumption and assignment, the cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order or orders resolving the dispute and approving the assumption.

At least 14 days before the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors shall distribute, or cause to be distributed, Cure Notices of proposed assumption or assumption and assignment and proposed amounts of Cure Claims to the applicable third parties.  Any objection by a counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to a proposed assumption or assumption and assignment or related cure amount must be Filed, served and actually received by the Debtors at least seven days before the Confirmation Hearing.  Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption or assumption and assignment or cure amount will be deemed to have assented to such assumption or assumption and assignment and cure amount.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is removed from the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases after such 14-day deadline, a Cure Notice of proposed assumption or assumption and assignment and proposed amounts of Cure Claims with respect to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease will be sent promptly to the counterparty thereof and a noticed hearing set to consider whether such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease can be assumed or assumed and assigned.

In any case, if the Court determines that the Allowed Cure Claim with respect to any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is greater than the amount set forth in the applicable Cure Notice, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will have the right to add such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, subject to the consent of the Majority Backstoppers, in which case such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease will be deemed rejected as the Effective Date.  After such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is added to the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, the respective contract counterparty shall be served with a notice of rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases and shall be given the opportunity to elect the Unsecured Creditor Equity Option in its Proof of Claim Form.

Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Claims or defaults, whether

45

monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time before the date that the Debtors assume such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.  Any Proofs of Claim Filed with respect to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that has been assumed shall be deemed Disallowed and expunged, without further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Court.

D.                                    Indemnification Obligations

The Debtors and Reorganized Debtors shall assume the Indemnification Obligations for the current and former directors and the officers who served in such capacity at any time after the Petition Date, solely in their capacities as such, and such Indemnification Obligations shall not be modified, reduced, discharged, impaired, or otherwise affected in any way.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall impair the ability of the Reorganized Debtors to modify indemnification obligations (whether in the bylaws, certificates of incorporation or formation, limited liability company agreements, other organizational or formation documents, board resolutions, indemnification agreements, employment contracts, or otherwise, but excluding any indemnification obligations arising under the D&O Liability Insurance Policies) arising after the Effective Date; provided that none of the Reorganized Debtors shall amend and/or restate any New Organizational Documents before the Effective Date to terminate or adversely affect any of the Reorganized Debtors’ Indemnification Obligations.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph affects the assumption of any indemnification obligations arising under the D&O Liability Insurance Policies, as set forth in Article IV.Mof the Plan.

E.                                     Insurance Policies

Without limiting Article IV.M, all of the Debtors’ insurance policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto, are treated as and deemed to be Executory Contracts under the Plan.  On the Effective Date, the Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all insurance policies and any agreements, documents, and instruments related thereto.

F.                                      Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements, or Other Agreements

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed or assumed and assigned shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases related thereto, if any, including easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated under the Plan.

Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases, with the consent of the Majority Backstoppers, shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.

46

G.                                    Reservation of Rights

Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease on the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, nor anything contained in the Plan, shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder.  If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption or rejection, the Debtors, or, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have thirty (30) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.

H.                                   Nonoccurrence of Effective Date

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

I.                                        Contracts and Leases Entered into After the Petition Date

Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor, including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by such Debtor, will be performed by the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor liable thereunder in the ordinary course of its business.  Accordingly, such contracts and leases (including any assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases) that have not been rejected as of the date of Confirmation will survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order.

ARTICLE VI.
PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

A.                                    Timing and Calculation of Amounts to Be Distributed

47

B.                                    Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust

On the Effective Date, (i) the Debtors shall fund and transfer the Unsecured Creditor Cash Pool to the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust and (ii) the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust Agreement shall be deemed to be valid, binding, and enforceable in accordance with its terms and provisions.  Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event that results in the Creditor Claim Representative becoming the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trustee, the Reorganized Debtors shall deliver to the Creditor Claim Representative a list as of the date of the Trigger Event of each holder of a Cash Recovery General Unsecured Claim, the amount of each such holder’s Cash Recovery General Unsecured Claim, whether such claim is Allowed or Disputed, and the address and the name of a contact person for each such holder.  After the Effective Date, the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust Agreement may be amended in accordance with its terms without further order of the Court.  The Creditor Claim Representative shall serve as trustee for and shall administer the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust in accordance with the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust Agreement.

Except as provided herein, Cash held in the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust shall not constitute property of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors.  Distributions from the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust to holders of Allowed Cash Recovery General Unsecured Claims shall be made in accordance with the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust Agreement and the provisions governing distribution set forth in Article III, Article VI, and Article VII hereof.  In the event there is a remaining Cash balance in the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust following payment to all holders of Allowed Cash Recovery General Unsecured Claims and Convenience Claims, such remaining amount, if any, shall be returned to the Reorganized Debtors.

Subject to definitive guidance from the Internal Revenue Service or a court of competent jurisdiction to the contrary (including receipt by the Creditor Claim Representative of a private letter ruling if so requested, or the receipt of an adverse determination by the Internal Revenue Service upon audit if not contested by the Creditor Claim Representative), the Creditor Claim Representative shall (i) treat the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust as a “disputed ownership fund” governed by Treasury Regulation section 1.468B-9 (and make any appropriate elections) and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, report consistently with the foregoing for state and local income tax purposes.  All parties (including the Creditor Claim Representative and the holders of Claims and Interests) shall report for United States federal, state, and local income tax purposes consistently with the foregoing.  The Creditor Claim Representative shall be responsible for payment, out of the Cash assets of the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust, of any taxes imposed on the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust or its assets.

All distributions to holders of Second Lien Claims as of the Distribution Record Date shall be governed by the Second Lien Credit Agreement.  The Second Lien Agent shall cooperate with the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors to enable the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors to make such distributions, including providing, within three business days following the Distribution Record Date, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors with a list of all holders of Second Lien Claims, including the amount of Second Lien Claims held by each such holder and the identity and address of the holder authorized to receive the distribution, in each case as of the Distribution Record Date.  Distributions to holders of Second Lien Claims shall be deemed to have been made when reflected in the Reorganized Debtors’ stock register according to the information provided by the Second Lien Agent.  For the avoidance of doubt, distributions to holders of Second Lien Claims pursuant to this Article VI.E.1.c shall be made by the Reorganized Debtors in their capacity as Creditor Claim Representative.

All distributions to holders of Note Claims as of the Distribution Record Date shall be deemed completed when made to the Indenture Trustee, which shall be deemed to be the holder of all Note Claims for purposes of distributions to be made hereunder.  The Indenture Trustee shall hold or direct such distributions for the benefit of the holders of Allowed Note Claims, as applicable.  As soon as practicable in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Article VI.E.1.d, the Indenture Trustee shall arrange to deliver such distributions to or on behalf of such holders of Allowed Note Claims.  Any distributions held by the Indenture Trustee or a disbursing agent shall remain subject to the right of the Indenture Trustee to assert the Indenture Trustee Charging Lien against such distributions.  For the avoidance of doubt, distributions to holders of Note Claims pursuant to this Article VI.E.1.d shall be made by the Indenture Trustee.

e.                                       Delivery of Distributions to holders of Cash Recovery General Unsecured Claims

All distributions to holders of Allowed Cash Recovery General Unsecured Claims shall be governed by the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust Agreement.  The Creditor Claim Representative shall not incur any liability whatsoever on account of any distributions under the Plan or the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust Agreement except for gross negligence or willful misconduct.

f.                                        Delivery of Distributions in General

Distributions to holders of Allowed Claims (other than holders of DIP Facility Claims, Second Lien Claims, Note Claims and Cash Recovery General Unsecured Claims) shall be made to holders of record as of the Distribution Record Date by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors as follows:  (1) to the signatory set forth on any of the Proofs of Claim Filed by such holder or other representative identified therein (or at the last known addresses of such holder if no Proof of Claim is Filed or if the Debtors have been notified in writing of a change of address); (2) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Reorganized Debtors after the date of any related Proof of Claim; (3) at the addresses reflected in

50

the Schedules if no Proof of Claim has been Filed and the Reorganized Debtors have not received a written notice of a change of address; or (4) on any counsel that has appeared in the Chapter 11 Cases on the holder’s behalf.  Subject to this Article VI, distributions under the Plan on account of Allowed Claims shall not be subject to levy, garnishment, attachment, or like legal process, so that each holder of an Allowed Claim shall have and receive the benefit of the distributions in the manner set forth in the Plan.  The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall not incur any liability whatsoever on account of any distributions under the Plan except for gross negligence or willful misconduct.

2.             Minimum Distributions

No fractional shares of New Common Equity shall be distributed, and no Cash shall be distributed in lieu of such fractional amounts.  When any distribution pursuant to the Plan on account of an Allowed Claim would otherwise result in the issuance of a number of shares of New Common Equity that is not a whole number, the actual distribution of shares of New Common Equity shall be rounded as follows: (a) fractions of one-half or greater shall be rounded to the next higher whole number, and (b) fractions of less than one-half shall be rounded to the next lower whole number with no further payment therefore.  The total number of authorized shares of New Common Equity to be distributed pursuant to the Plan shall be adjusted as necessary to account for the foregoing rounding.

Holders of Allowed Claims entitled to distributions of $50 or less shall not receive distributions, and each such Claim to which this limitation applies shall be discharged pursuant to Article VIII and its holder is forever barred pursuant to Article VIII from asserting that Claim against the Reorganized Debtors or their property.

3.             Undeliverable Distributions and Unclaimed Property

In the event that any distribution to any holder is returned as undeliverable, no distribution to such holder shall be made unless and until the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Creditor Claim Representative, as applicable, shall have determined the then-current address of such holder, at which time such distribution shall be made to such holder without interest; provided that such distributions shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code at the expiration of one year from the Effective Date.  After such date, all unclaimed property or interests in property shall be redistributed Pro Rata (it being understood that, for purposes of this Article VI.E.3, “Pro Rata” shall be determined as if the Claim underlying such unclaimed distribution had been Disallowed) without need for a further order by the Court (notwithstanding any applicable federal, provincial, or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws to the contrary), and the Claim of any holder to such property or Interest in property shall be discharged and forever barred.

F.                                      Registration or Private Placement Exemption

Except as otherwise set forth immediately below, all shares of New Common Equity issued under the Plan, including shares of New Common Equity issued and distributed from time to time following the Effective Date of New Common Equity comprising the Unsecured Creditor Equity, will be issued without registration under the Securities Act or any similar federal, state,

or local law in reliance upon section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Shares of New Common Equity issued under the Plan in reliance upon section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code are exempt from, among other things, the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act and any other applicable U.S. state or local law requiring registration prior to the offering, issuance, distribution, or sale of Securities.  The New Common Equity issued pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code (a) is not “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, and (b) is freely tradable and transferable by any holder thereof that (i) is not an “affiliate” of the Reorganized Debtors as defined in Rule 144(a)(1) under the Securities Act, (ii) has not been such an “affiliate” within 90 days of such transfer, (iii) has not acquired the New Common Equity from an “affiliate” within one year of such transfer, and (iv) is not an entity that is an “underwriter” as defined in subsection (b) of section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.  New Common Equity issued to holders of DIP Claims, DIP Backstop Fee Claims, Second Lien Claims, Note Claims, and Equity Election General Unsecured Claims, in each case in exchange for such Claims, shall be issued in reliance on section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The New Common Equity underlying the Management Incentive Plan will be issued pursuant to a registration statement or another available exemption from registration under the Securities Act and other applicable law.

Should the Reorganized Debtors elect, on or after the Effective Date, to reflect all or any portion of the ownership of the New Common Equity to be held through the facilities of the DTC, the Reorganized Debtors shall not be required to provide any further evidence other than the Plan or Confirmation Order with respect to the treatment of such applicable portion of the New Common Equity, and such Plan or Confirmation Order shall be deemed to be legal and binding obligations of the Reorganized Debtors in all respects.

The DTC shall be required to accept and conclusively rely upon the Plan and Confirmation Order in lieu of a legal opinion regarding whether the New Common Equity is exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no entity (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the DTC) may require a legal opinion regarding the validity of any transaction contemplated by the Plan, including, for the avoidance of doubt, whether the New Common Equity is exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services.

G.                                    Compliance with Tax Requirements

In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Creditor Claim Representative, as applicable, shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Creditor Claim Representative, as applicable, shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes, withholding distributions pending

52

receipt of information necessary to facilitate such distributions, or establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable and appropriate.  The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Creditor Claim Representative, as applicable, reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and other spousal awards, liens, and encumbrances.

H.                                   Allocations

Distributions in respect of Allowed Claims shall be allocated first to the principal amount of such Claims (as determined for federal income tax purposes) and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claims, to any portion of such Claims for accrued but unpaid interest as Allowed herein.

I.                                        No Postpetition Interest on Claims

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in an order of the Court, the Plan, or the Confirmation Order, or required by applicable bankruptcy law, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims or Interests and no holder of a Claim or Interest shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any such Claim.

J.                                        Setoffs and Recoupment

The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may, but shall not be required to, setoff against or recoup from any Claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may have against the claimant, 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 it may have against the holder of such Claim.

K.                                    Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties

1.             Claims Paid by Third Parties

The Creditor Claim Representative shall reduce in full a Claim, and such Claim shall be Disallowed without a Claim objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Court, to the extent that the holder of such Claim receives payment in full on account of such Claim from a party that is not a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor; provided that the Creditor Claim Representative shall provide 21 days’ notice to the holder prior to any disallowance of such Claim during which period the holder may object to such disallowance, and if the parties cannot reach an agreed resolution, the matter shall be decided by the Court.  Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, to the extent a holder of a Claim receives a distribution on account of such Claim and receives payment from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor on account of such Claim, such holder shall, within fourteen days of receipt thereof, repay or return the distribution to Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trustee, as applicable, to the extent the holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount of such Claim as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan.  The failure of such holder to timely repay or return such distribution shall result in the holder owing the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trustee, as applicable, annualized

53

interest at the Federal Judgment Rate on such amount owed for each Business Day after the fourteen-day grace period specified above until the amount is repaid.

2.             Claims Payable by Third Parties

No distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of an Allowed Claim that is payable pursuant to one of the Debtors’ insurance policies until the holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to such insurance policy.  To the extent that one or more of the Debtors’ insurers agrees to satisfy in full or in part a Claim (if and to the extent adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction), then immediately upon such insurers’ agreement, the applicable portion of such Claim may be expunged without a Claim objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Court; provided that the Creditor Claim Representative shall provide 21 days’ notice to the holder of such Claim prior to any disallowance of such Claim during which period the holder may object to such disallowance, and if the parties cannot reach an agreed resolution, the matter shall be decided by the Court.

3.             Applicability of Insurance Policies

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, distributions to holders of Allowed Claims shall be in accordance with the provisions of any applicable insurance policy.  Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Cause of Action that the Debtors or any Entity may hold against any other Entity, including insurers under any policies of insurance, nor shall anything contained herein constitute or be deemed a waiver by such insurers of any defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such insurers.

ARTICLE VII.
PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CONTINGENT,
UNLIQUIDATED, AND DISPUTED CLAIMS

A.                                    Creditor Claim Representative

1.             Identity of the Creditor Claim Representative.

With respect to Equity Election General Unsecured Claims, the Creditor Claim Representative shall be the Reorganized Debtors.  With respect to Cash Recovery General Unsecured Claims and the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust, the identity of the Creditor Claim Representative shall be determined as follows: (a) upon and immediately after the Effective Date, the Creditor Claim Representative shall be the Reorganized Debtors; and (b) in the event that the total aggregate amount of Allowed Cash Recovery General Unsecured Claims is in an amount such that holders of Allowed Cash Recovery General Unsecured Claims would receive a recovery of less than $0.50 on account of each dollar of their Allowed Cash Recovery General Unsecured Claims (such event, a “Trigger Event”), the Creditor Claim Representative shall be the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trustee.  With respect to all other Claims, the Creditor Claim Representative shall be the Reorganized Debtors.

Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Reorganized Debtors shall serve the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trustee with written notice of the Trigger Event, which notice

54

shall include a description of the events that caused the Trigger Event.  The Reorganized Debtors shall file a notice on the docket maintained in the Chapter 11 Cases informing the Court that a Trigger Event has occurred and that the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trustee has become the Creditor Claim Representative, and shall serve such notice to all holders of Disputed Cash Recovery General Unsecured Claims in accordance with the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust Agreement.  In the event that the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trustee and the Reorganized Debtors do not agree that a Trigger Event has occurred, the identity of the Creditor Claim Representative shall be determined by order of the Court.

Promptly after the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Reorganized Debtors shall (i) provide all relevant books and records of the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust to the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trustee and (ii) take reasonable efforts to provide all such information, take all such action, and execute all such documents as reasonably requested by the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trustee to transfer the role of the trustee of the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust to the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trustee.  The Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall not be required to independently investigate or verify, the information provided by the Reorganized Debtors for purposes of making distributions from the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust and serving as trustee of the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust.

2.             Duties of the Creditor Claim Representative.

To the extent applicable, the Creditor Claim Representative shall be responsible for: (a) reconciling (and, if appropriate, objecting to or settling) Claims as provided for in this Article VII and, if applicable, the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust Agreement; (b) making distributions from the Unsecured Creditor Cash Pool to holders of Allowed Cash Recovery General Unsecured Claims in accordance with Article VI hereof, and the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust Agreement; (c) issuing and/or distributing shares of New Common Equity comprising the Unsecured Creditor Equity to holders of Allowed Equity Election General Unsecured Claims; and (d) serving as trustee for and administering the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust.

3.             Creditor Claim Representative Expenses.

With respect to expenses incurred by the Reorganized Debtors acting as the Creditor Claim Representative, all Creditor Claim Representative Expenses, including the reasonable, documented fees and expenses of legal counsel to the Creditor Claim Representative, shall be paid by the Reorganized Debtors.  With respect to expenses incurred by the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trustee, if any, acting as the Creditor Claim Representative, all Creditor Claim Representative Expenses, including the reasonable, documented fees and expenses of legal counsel to the Creditor Claim Representative, shall be paid from the Unsecured Creditor Cash Pool in accordance with the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust Agreement.

4.             Mutual Cooperation.

The Reorganized Debtors and the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trustee shall, in all instances, and regardless of the occurrence of a Trigger Event, have reasonable consultation

55

rights over all Claims reconciliation, objection, settlement, and distribution decisions relating to Cash Recovery General Unsecured Claims, and all such decisions shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the party that is not currently acting as the Creditor Claim Representative.

B.                                    Allowance of Claims

After the Effective Date, the Creditor Claim Representative shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses that any Debtor had with respect to any Claim immediately before the Effective Date.  Except as expressly provided in the Plan or in any order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases before the Effective Date (including the Confirmation Order), no Claim shall become an Allowed Claim unless and until such Claim is deemed Allowed under the Plan or the Bankruptcy Code, or the Court has entered a Final Order, including the Confirmation Order (when it becomes a Final Order), in the Chapter 11 Cases allowing such Claim.

C.                                    Claims and Interests Administration Responsibilities

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan and notwithstanding any requirements that may be imposed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, after the Effective Date, the Creditor Claim Representative, by order of the Court, shall together have the authority: (1) to File, withdraw, or litigate to judgment objections to Claims; (2) to settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Court; and (3) to administer and adjust the Claims Register to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Court.

D.                                    Estimation of Claims

Before or after the Effective Date, the Debtors or the Creditor Claim Representative, as applicable, may (but shall not be required to) at any time request that the Court estimate any Disputed Claim or that is contingent or unliquidated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim or whether the Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any such Claim, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or during the appeal relating to such objection.  Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan, a Claim that has been expunged from the Claims Register, but that either is subject to appeal or has not been the subject of a Final Order, shall be deemed to be estimated at zero dollars, unless otherwise ordered by the Court.  In the event that the Court estimates any Claim that is disputed, contingent, or unliquidated, that estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim for all purposes under the Plan (including for purposes of distributions), and the Creditor Claim Representative may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such Claim.  Notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, in no event shall any holder of a Claim that has been estimated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise be entitled to seek reconsideration of such estimation unless such holder has Filed a motion requesting the right to seek such reconsideration on or before 21 days after the date on which such Claim is estimated.  All of the aforementioned Claims and 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 Court.

56

E.                                     Adjustment to Claims Without Objection

Any Claim that has been paid or satisfied, or any Claim that has been amended or superseded, may be adjusted or expunged on the Claims Register by the Creditor Claim Representative without a Claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Court.

F.                                      Time to File Objections to Claims

Any objections to Claims, which, prior to the Effective Date, may be filed by any party, shall be Filed on or before the Claims Objection Deadline.

G.                                    Disallowance of Claims

Any Claims held by Entities from which property is recoverable under section 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that is a transferee of a transfer avoidable under section 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be deemed Disallowed pursuant to section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and holders of such Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such Claims until such time as such Causes of Action against that Entity have been settled or a Court order with respect thereto has been entered and all sums due, if any, to the Debtors by that Entity have been turned over or paid to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors.  All Proofs of Claim Filed on account of an indemnification obligation to a director, officer, or employee shall be deemed satisfied and expunged from the Claims Register as of the Effective Date to the extent such indemnification obligation is assumed (or honored or reaffirmed, as the case may be) pursuant to the Plan, without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Court.

Except as provided herein (including with respect to any counterparties to rejected Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases who are required to file Proofs of Claim after the rejection of their contracts or leases) or otherwise agreed, any and all Proofs of Claim or requests for payment of Administrative Claims, as applicable, Filed after the applicable Claims Bar Date, Administrative Claims Bar Date, Final Administrative Claims Bar Date, Outside Rejection Damages Claim Deadline, and Governmental Bar Date, as applicable, shall be deemed Disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without any further shall be deemed Disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Court, and holders of such Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such Claims, unless on or before the Confirmation Hearing such late Filed Claim has been deemed timely Filed by a Final Order.

H.                                   Amendments to Claims

On or after the Effective Date, except as provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, a Claim may not be Filed or amended without the prior authorization of the Court and the Creditor Claim Representative and any such new or amended Claim Filed shall be deemed Disallowed in full and expunged without any further action, order, or approval of the Court.

57

I.                                        No Distributions Pending Allowance

No payment or distribution provided under the Plan shall be made on account of a Disputed Claim or portion thereof, including if an objection to a Claim or portion thereof is Filed as set forth in Article VII,  unless and until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

J.                                        Distributions After Allowance

To the extent that a Disputed Claim ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim, distributions (if any) shall be made to the holder of such Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and, if applicable, the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust Agreement.  As soon as reasonably practicable after the date that the order or judgment of the Court allowing any Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order (or, with respect to Cash Recovery General Unsecured Claims, on such other date as provided in the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust Agreement), the Creditor Claim Representative shall provide to the holder of such Claim the distribution (if any) to which such holder is entitled under the Plan and, if applicable, the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Trust Agreement) as of the Effective Date, without any interest, dividends, or accruals to be paid on account of such Claim unless required under applicable bankruptcy law or as otherwise provided in herein.

K.                                    Single Satisfaction of Claims

Holders of Allowed Claims may assert such Claims against each Debtor obligated with respect to such Claim, and such Claims shall be entitled to share in the recovery provided for the applicable Class of Claims against each obligated Debtor based upon the full Allowed amount of the Claim.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case shall the aggregate value of all property received or retained under the Plan on account of Allowed Claims exceed 100% of the underlying Allowed Claim plus applicable interest.  For the avoidance of doubt, this shall not affect the obligation of each and every Debtor to pay U.S. Trustee Fees until such time as a particular case is closed, dismissed, or converted.
