FINANCIAL PICTURE OF THE DEBTOR Background 7. Financial History and Background of the Debtor. Digital was founded in January 1997 for the purpose of acquiring and developing subscription television businesses by combining four business entities who were engaged in the same business. In last quarter of 1997, Digital acquired the assets and businesses of the Baton Rouge Wireless Cable Television LLC; the Reading Wireless Cable DEBTOR'S DISCLOSURE STATEMENT - Page 3 Television Partnership; the Shreveport Wireless Cable Television Partnership; and Future Vision Wireless Cable, Inc. ("Future Vision"). The businesses so acquired were originally established between 1993 and 1994 by promoters, who raised from investors approximately Forty Seven Million Dollars and 00/100 ($47,000,000.00), only a fraction of which was made available for these entities to develop and operate wireless cable television businesses. The promoters were required, under the agreements entered into, to furnish various services and assets to these businesses which for the most part never occurred. Litigation was commenced by several of these businesses against the promoters and attorneys which resulted in a settlement of approximately One Million Dollars and 00/100 ($1,000,000.00) and the cancellation of all interests in the businesses held by such promoters. The foregoing facts left the prior business entities and subsequently the Debtor in a position of substantial under capitalization and management without any substantial experience, the result of which is that the Debtor has continued to incur substantial losses without reasonable hope of turning the situation around without a significant capital infusion. Post-Petition Earnings of the Debtor 8. Post-Petition Earnings of the Debtor in Chapter 11The Debtor has continued to incur substantial monthly operating losses in spite of management's efforts in reducing costs. A summary of the monthly operating reports is as follows:

See "Section 17 - Treatment and Distributions to Creditors Under The Plan," page 12. 18.3 Source of Funds - Future Earnings.

The list of Creditors filed in this Case by the Debtor shall constitute the filing of a Claim by each Creditor which is not listed as disputed, contingent or unliquidated as to amount. However, the Debtor reserves the right to object to any such Claim where it appears that the amount scheduled by the Debtor is improper or where there is some dispute with regard to that Claim. All other Creditors, or Creditors who disagree with the amounts as scheduled by the Debtor, must have filed a Claim by the Bar Date, September 30, 1999, unless a separate Bar Date applies for DEBTOR'S DISCLOSURE STATEMENT - Page 29 the rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases under the Plan or where there exists deficiency claims arising out of the abandonment of collateral to previously Secured Creditors or as a result of the granting an order for relief from the provisions of Section 362 of the Code or a Final Order pursuant to Sections 506(a) of the Code or Section 1111(b) of the Code or the Claimant is a Governmental Unit. Claims Allowance Procedure 21. Claims Allowance Procedure and Conditions to Distribution. The following terms and conditions are conditions precedent to the right of a Creditor to receive distributions under the Plan: 21.1 Objections to Claims. All references to Claims and amounts of Claims refer to the amount of the Claim as allowed by the Court, an Allowed Claim. The Debtor, or any party in interest who wishes to object to a Claim, must object to such Claim within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Date in order to have the Court determine the amount allowed to be paid under the Plan. Upon application filed within such one hundred eighty (180) day period, if cause is shown, the Court may extend such period for a time reasonable under the circumstances. If no objection is filed within the time so limited to the allowance of any Claim, such Claim shall become an Allowed Claim. See "Section 26 - Retention of Jurisdiction by the Court," page 34. 21.2 No Distribution Until Objection Resolved. If the Debtor, or another party in interest, files an objection to a Claim, no payment shall be made on such Claim until the dispute is resolved by the Court pursuant to a Final Order. If any Claim, or a portion thereof, is challenged by objection, the Debtor or the Disbursing Agent shall segregate and set aside funds consistent with the Plan, sufficient to satisfy the Claim as filed, or as scheduled by the Debtor as set forth in the preceding Section 21.1 - Objections To Claims. When an objection to a Claim has been resolved, distribution shall be made accordingly. If the Court determines that the Debtor is obligated on any such Claim, such Claim shall be paid in accordance with the terms herein as allowed by the Court. Such Creditor shall then be paid pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 12 - Treatment and Distributions to Creditors Under the Plan, page 9 of this and Disclosure Statement. Such payment or payments shall constitute full satisfaction and discharge of each of such Claim. 21.3 Deficiency Claims. Unsecured Creditors whose Claims arise out of a deficiency resulting from the abandonment of collateral to a previously Secured Creditor, or resulting from Orders granting relief from the provisions of Section 362 of the Code, must file their Claims within thirty (30) days after Confirmation of the Plan. Unsecured Creditors whose Claims arise out of an Order issued pursuant to Section 506(a) or 1111(b) of the Code must file their Claims by the later of the Bar Date or thirty (30) days after the entry of the Section 506(a) or Section 1111(b) of the Code, Final Order to be included in Class 4. 21.4 Other Claims, Including Amendment to Claims.

Any entity, including a Creditor, which has not, within the time provided in the Plan or any Final Order of the Court, performed any material act required in the Plan or any Final Order of the Court, shall not be entitled to participate in any distribution under the Plan. 21.6 Surrender and Cancellation of Debt Instruments and Common Stock in the Debtor. No holder of a promissory note, bond, payment guaranty, security agreement or Common Stock in the Debtor (collectively referred to as "instruments") shall receive any distribution under the Plan until such instrument has been surrendered to, or satisfactory evidence of loss has been provided to, the Debtor or the Successor to the Debtor and the holder, if appropriate, has filed a UCC-2 with the Secretary of State of the appropriate state where security interest is recorded. No holder of a judgment lien or notice of lis pendens shall receive any distributions under the Plan until such Lien or notice of lis pendens has been released or removed. Any holder of an instrument that fails to surrender such instrument or provide satisfactory evidence of loss thereof within twelve (12) months after the Effective Date shall be deemed to have no further Claim against or in the Debtor, and shall receive no distribution under the Plan. Any such distribution which otherwise would have been made to such holder will thereafter become the unencumbered property of the Successor to the Debtor. Other than the Liens for Secured Creditors specifically set forth in the Plan, all mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, judgment liens, notices of lis pendens and other Liens securing any Claim shall be deemed to have been relinquished and reconveyed to the Debtor as of the Effective Date for the purpose of conveying the same to the Successor to the Debtor.

Liquidation Analysis of the Debtor's Property. In order to arrive at a judgment on whether or not to vote for or against the Plan proposed by the Debtor, a Creditor or other party in interest needs to have an understanding of the consequences of what would be realized by the Estate of the Debtor if any of the Property of the Debtor was sold pursuant to another plan, the Property was sold pursuant to a motion to sell and the net proceed was available for distribution, or the Case was converted to one under Chapter 7 of the Code. Additionally, in order for the Court to confirm the Plan, it must find, pursuant to Section 1129(a)(7)(A)(i)(ii) of the Code, with respect to each impaired class of Claims that each holder of a Claim of such class (i) has accepted the Plan or (ii) will receive or retain under the Plan on account of such Claim, property of a value, as of the Effective Date of the Plan, that is not less than the amount that such holder would receive under Chapter 7 on such date, which is known as the "Best Interest Of Creditors Test." The Code further requires that if Section 1111(b)(2) of the Code applies to Claims of a class, each holder of a Claim of such class will receive or retain under the Plan, on account of such Claim, property of a value, as of the Effective Date of the Plan, that is not less than the value of such holder's Interest in the estate's Interest in the property that secured such Claims, pursuant to Section 1129(a)(7)(B) of the Code. 28.1 Valuation of the Assets. The management of the Debtor has placed a value of One Million Two Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty Eight Dollars and 00/100 ($1,002,828.00) on all of the assets of the Debtor after deducting the Post-Petition Secured Administrative Claims of the holders the 10% Senior Secured Certificates of Indebtedness and the holders of the 12% Junior Secured Notes. A substantial amount of the value results from certain licenses owned by the Debtor which were issued by the Federal Communications Commission. Over the past several years the value of these licenses has varied dramatically. See "Section 10 - Analysis and Valuation of Property," page 5. 28.2 Method of Valuation.

DEBTOR'S DISCLOSURE STATEMENT - Page 39 28.5 Distribution To Unsecured Creditors by a Chapter 7 Trustee. Based upon the foregoing sections Unsecured Creditors would be paid One Hundred Percent (100%) of their Unsecured Claims. 28.6 Distribution To Equity Security Holders. Unsecured Claims total Four Hundred Forty One Thousand Four Hundred Fifteen Dollars and 34/100 ($441,415.35). Equity Security Holders would receive approximately Four Hundred Three Thousand Four Hundred Seventy Two Dollars and 65/100 ($403,472.65). 28.7 Another Plan. The management of the Debtor knows of no other plan which is to be proposed to the Court. The management of the Debtor believes that the Plan represents the Debtor's best efforts for repayment to its Creditors and Equity Security Holders. 28.8 Summary. The Plan of the Debtor's represents the best method by which Creditors would maximize the amounts to be distribution to them. The Debtor, through its management, has proposed the Plan and believes that the Plan is the only reasonable avenue that is appropriate under the existing circumstances. RISKS TO CREDITORS UNDER THE PLAN 29. Risk Factors Pertaining to the Debtor. Certain significant risk factors are inherent in the consummation of any plan of reorganization in a Chapter 11 Case. The successful implementation of the Debtor's Plan is dependent upon the ability of the management of the Debtor to maintain a certain level of revenue generated from income to service the cash requirements of the Plan. Certain other risks are inherent to the Plan, which are: 29.1 Implementation of AWSI's Business Strategy. There is no assurance that AWSI will be successful in the implementation of its strategy to increase revenues via the acquisition of other profitable businesses or that the acquisition of such businesses will result in an overall profitable operation. 29.2 Profitability. AWSI and its predecessor have been in business for over five (5) years and have never been profitable and there can be no assurance that future operations will be profitable. 29.3 Competition. AWSI will compete with many competitors who are larger, more experienced, who have substantially greater financial resources and are well established in the market place. 29.4 Technology. The business of AWSI is subject to rapidly changing technology. Some of the potential developments in the technology would require the deployment of substantial capital and the acquisition of substantial new skills by management. AWSI does not currently posses either the capital or the management capability to meet these potential changes and as result these changes could have a substantial adverse effect on future business operations. DEBTOR'S DISCLOSURE STATEMENT - Page 40 29.5 Investment Capital. AWSI, like many companies that are classified as "High Tech" have in the past been able to attract to substantial new capital regardless of profitability. AWSI is substantially dependent on its ability to attract such capital. A shift in the ability to attract such new capital would have a substantial adverse effect on AWSI on business operations. LITIGATION 30. Litigation Pertaining to the Debtor. The following Sections detail all known litigation against the Debtor, whether actually pending or threatened by third parties, or pending or contemplated by the Debtor against a third party. 30.1 Bankruptcy Litigation. No bankruptcy litigation is either pending or threatened, either for or against the Debtor except as to Claims objections specifically set forth in this Disclosure Statement. Unless a Claim has been specifically "footnoted" that an objection will be filed the Debtor will not object to any Claim, unless there are new facts discovered by the Debtor subsequent to this Disclosure Statement that would lead to a Claim either being invalid, improperly classified, or that the amount of the Claim is inappropriate. 30.2 Non-Bankruptcy Litigation. The Debtor is presently involved, as plaintiff, in two separate pieces of litigation presently pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Middle District of Tennessee. Both lawsuits have recently been filed and therefore both are in the early stages of litigation. Because discovery has not been completed and pre-trial motion have either not been ruled upon or filed counsel expresses no opinion as to the ultimate outcome of such litigation. The litigation is as follows: (a) Decathlon. On October 28, 1999 the Debtor filed a complaint against Decathlon Communications, Inc. to recover moneys paid for equipment which was never delivered to the Debtor and for other purchased equipment which did not perform as represented by the manufacturer. The Debtor has alleged that Decathlon owes it the sum of Two Hundred Ten Thousand Seven Hundred Forty Five Dollars and 00/100 ($210,745.00) for equipment that was not delivered and damages in the amount of Five Hundred Eighty Two Thousand Two Hundred Eighty Dollars and 00/100 ($582,280.00). The litigation is in its early stages and discovery has yet to be completed and there are a number of pre-trial motions that have yet to be ruled upon. Neither the Debtor nor its counsel are in a position to express an opinion as to the ultimate outcome of the litigation. On February 23, 2000 the Court heard the Defendant's Motion For Change Of Venue at the conclusion of which the Court granted the Defendant's Motion. As a result of the foregoing the litigation will either be transferred to another Court in an appropriate venue or the Case dismissed with the Debtor having the right to refile the Case in another forum. As of the date of this Disclosure Statement the foregoing election had not been made by the Debtor. (b) Bednarsh. On December 16, 1999 the Debtor filed a complaint against David Bednarsh and Wireless Advantage, Inc. to compel Mr. Bednarsh and Wireless Advantage, Inc. to comply with the terms of a May 1998 Settlement DEBTOR'S DISCLOSURE STATEMENT - Page 41 Agreement, under which he was obligated to transfer and assign certain wireless cable licenses and leases. The litigation is in its early stages and discovery has yet to be completed. Neither the Debtor nor its counsel are in a position to express an opinion as to the ultimate outcome of the litigation. TAX CONSEQUENCES 31. Tax Consequences. The following summary describes certain of the anticipated federal income tax consequences to the Debtor and its Creditors upon confirmation and consummation of the Plan. This summary is necessarily general in nature and does not describe all of the tax consequences to the Debtor or the Creditors arising under the Plan. The Debtor has not obtained rulings from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to any of these matters, and the anticipated federal income tax consequences are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service. The following discussion is not intended as a substitute for professional tax advise, including the evaluation of recently enacted and pending legislation, in part because the recent changes in the federal income law and the Code lack authoritative interpretation. The brevity of the following discussion required omission of matters which might affect one or more Creditors, depending upon their individual circumstances. CREDITORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM, UNDER FEDERAL AND APPLICABLE STATE AND LOCAL TAX LAWS, OF THE CONSUMMATION OF THIS PLAN OF REORGANIZATION. 31.1 No Opinion. Neither the Debtor, the Successor to the Debtor nor its counsel or accountant express any opinion that any Creditor may rely upon as to the tax consequences to any Claimant under the Plan. Each Creditor is urged to consult an appropriate tax advisor. 31.2 Creditors Whose Claims Constitute Securities. Whether a claim constitutes a security for federal income tax purposes depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding the origin and nature of the claim. Prominent factors that have been relied on in determining whether an obligation constitutes a security include: (a) the term of the instrument, (b) whether the instrument is secured, (c) the degree of subordination of the instrument, (d) the ratio of debt to equity of the issuer, (e) the riskiness of the business of the issuer, and (f) the negotiability of the instrument. Although not free from doubt, the debt securities being issued pursuant to the Plan (the "New Securities") should qualify as securities for federal income tax purposes. The remainder of this discussion assumes the New Securities qualify as securities for federal income tax purposes. However, the Rights should not be treated either as common stock or as securities for federal income tax purposes. All creditors who receive New Common Stock or New Securities in exchange for their Claims should consult their tax advisors to determine whether their Claims constitute securities for federal income tax purposes. Holders of securities who receive only cash and/or Rights in exchange for their securities will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the cash received plus the fair market value of any Rights received and the holder's tax basis in the securities exchanged therefor. DEBTOR'S DISCLOSURE STATEMENT - Page 42 It is unclear how holders who receive cash pursuant to the Cash Election would be treated. They could be treated either (i) as having received New Common Stock in exchange for the portion of their Claim subject to the Cash Election and immediately having sold such stock for the cash received or (ii) as having received such cash directly in exchange for the portion of their Claim that was the subject to the Cash Election. The tax consequences to a holder should be essentially the same under either treatment. The basis of New Common Stock or New Securities received by a security holder in exchange for his securities (other than in respect to interest) will be equal to the holder's basis in the surrendered securities, decreased by the amount of cash and the fair market value of Rights received for the securities, and increased by the amount of gain recognized on the exchange. The basis of Rights received in exchange for a security generally will be equal to the fair market value of the Rights. The holding period for the New Common Stock and New Securities (other than in respect of interest) will include the period during which the creditor held the securities exchanged therefor, provided the securities were held as a capital asset on the date of the exchange. Holders of securities that exchange their securities for New Common Stock or New Securities will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes to the extent that their securities are exchanged for New Common Stock or any New Securities except (as discussed below) to the extent that such New Common Stock or any New Securities are attributable to interest accrued after the beginning of its holding period and the holder has not already included the interest in income for federal income tax purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of securities who receive cash and/or Rights as well as New Common Stock or New Securities and who realize gain on the exchange will recognize gain in an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of the gain or the amount of cash and the fair market value of any Rights received. Holders receiving Common Stock or New Securities are not permitted to recognize any loss. 31.3 Creditors Whose Claims Do Not Constitute Securities. A creditor whose Claim does not constitute a security for federal income tax purposes will realize and recognize gain or loss on the exchange of the Claim in an amount equal to the difference between the holder's basis in the Claim and the amount realized in exchange therefor. The amount realized for a Claim will be the amount of cash and the fair market value of any New Common Stock and Rights, other than amounts received allocable to interest. Because a loss will allow as a deduction only for the taxable year which the loss was sustained, a creditor that claims a loss in the wrong taxable year risks denial of such loss altogether. Therefore, holders of General Unsecured Claims may wish to consult their tax advisors regarding the timing and amount of any recognized gain or loss. The taxable basis of property received in exchange for Claims that do not qualify as securities for federal income tax purposes will be the amount of the property that is included in the creditor's amount realized on the exchange. The aggregate basis will be apportioned among the properties received in proportion to their relative fair market values on the date of the exchange. The holding period for the properties will begin on the day following the exchange. DEBTOR'S DISCLOSURE STATEMENT - Page 43 31.4 Receipt of Interest. Each creditor will recognize ordinary income to the extent that it receives any cash or property that is allocable to accrued interest income that has not already been included for federal income tax purposes in its taxable income. A creditor that had previously included income accrued but unpaid interest attributable to its Claim will recognize a loss ( generally deductible in full against ordinary income) to the extent such accrued and unpaid interest is not satisfied in full. The proper allocation between principal and interest of amounts received in exchange for the discharge of a Claim not paid in full is unclear. Creditors are advised to consult their own tax advisors to determine the amount of consideration received under the Plan that is allocable to interest. 31.5 Original Issue Discount Rules. Some or all of the New Securities may be issued with original issue discount. A holder of a New Security having original issue discount will be required to include in gross income a portion of such original issue discount as determined on a constant yield basis. In general, original issue discount is defined as the excess of the "stated redemption price at maturity" of a debt instrument over its "issue price". Each class of New Securities issued pursuant to the Plan should pay only "qualified periodic interest payments". Therefore, their stated redemption price at maturity should equal their principal amount. The issue price of a New Security will depend in part on whether the New Security or the securities exchanged therefor are traded in an "established securities market" and the price at which they are traded. It is therefore impossible to determine at this time whether the New Securities would be issued with original issue discount. If a class of New Securities is issued with original issue discount, a holder should be able to reduce the annual amount of original issue discount income inclusions by the excess of the adjusted basis of the New Securities in that class received by such holder over the issue price of the New Securities under the rules of section 1272(a)(7) of the Tax Code regarding an "acquisition premium." Under such rules, the original issue discount includable in such a holder's income for a taxable period will be reduced by an amount equal to the original issue discount as otherwise determined to be includable for such taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess basis over the issue price, and the denominator which is the original issue discount for the total period remaining to maturity. Each holder is advised to consult its own tax advisor regarding the amount of any original issue discount and the manner in which such original issue discount will be taxed. 31.6 Certain Federal Tax Consequences. Holders of the Rights who exercise such Rights will have a tax basis in the New Common Stock received for exercise of such Rights equal to their basis in such Rights plus the price paid upon exercise. A holder who disposes of its Rights in a taxable transaction without having exercised such Rights will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the holder's basis in its Rights and the price received. Such gain or loss should be capital gain or loss if the Rights were held as capital assets. Any loss from the expiration of the Rights should be capital loss if the Rights were held as capital assets. DEBTOR'S DISCLOSURE STATEMENT - Page 44 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ORDERS ENTERED IN THE CASE 32. Summary of Significant Orders. The following Sections describe the significant Orders entered in this Case: 32.1 10% Senior Secured Certificates of Indebtedness. By order dated March 17, 1999, the Debtor received authorization to sell Certificates of Indebtedness totaling Five Hundred Thousand Dollars and 00/100 ($500,000.00) to fund its post-petition operations. These Certificates of Indebtedness are secured by substantially all of the Debtor's Assets. By Order docketed February 15, 2000, the sale of these debt instruments was approved in the total amount of Five Hundred Seventeen Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety Three Dollars and 00/00 ($517,993.00). 32.2 12% Junior Secured Notes. The Debtor has filed a Motion seeking authority to sell Two Hundred Eleven Thousand Dollars and 00/100 ($211,000.00) in Junior Secured Notes pursuant to Section 364(f) of the Code. As of the date of this Disclosure Statement that Motion had not been ruled upon by the Court. DISBURSING AGENT 33. Appointment of Disbursing Agent. The Debtor has appointed Sidney J. Diamond to act as Disbursing Agent. The Disbursing Agent shall have the following duties, receive the following compensation and be discharged of responsibilities as follows: 33.1 Duties of Disbursing Agent. The Disbursing Agent shall receive, disburse and account to the Court, Creditors, Interest Holders and other parties in interest for the cash disbursements and shall be responsible for reviewing and approving all Claims (all disputes to be resolved by the Court, keep adequate records of all transactions, receipts and disbursements, communicating with and advising all Creditors, Interest Holders and other parties in interest as needed, and such other duties as may be consistent with the responsibilities of a Disbursing Agent). 33.2 Fees and Expenses of the Disbursing Agent. The Disbursing Agent's fees for all services to be rendered pursuant to the Plan shall be on an hourly basis, plus reasonable disbursements, and shall be paid pursuant to Class 1(a) - Professional Fees. 33.3 Termination of Disbursing Agent's Duties. The entry of a Final Decree shall discharge the Disbursing Agent. Thereafter, the Debtor shall make all payments required under the Plan. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS 34. Reservation of Rights. The filing of this Disclosure Statement and the Plan, nor any statement or provision contained in this Disclosure Statement or the Plan, nor the taking by a Creditor or other party in interest of any action with respect to this Disclosure Statement or the Plan shall (a) be or DEBTOR'S DISCLOSURE STATEMENT - Page 45 be deemed to be an admission against interest, or (b) until the Effective Date, be or be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that any Creditor or other party in interest might have against the Debtor or any Property of the Estates, as that term is defined in Section 541 of the Code, or any other Creditor or other party in interest of the Debtor, and until the Effective Date all such rights are specifically reserved. In the event that the Effective Date does not occur no statement contained in the Plan, nor any statement contained in this Disclosure Statement may be used or relied upon in any manner in any suit, action, proceeding, or controversy within the Cases involving the Debtor. CONCLUSION 35. In Summary. The management of the Debtor has caused this Disclosure Statement and the Plan to be filed and favors it. No other option exists that offers any distribution to Unsecured Creditors more favorable than as proposed by the Plan. Far more will be realized under the Plan than if the Estate of the Debtor were liquidated. THE PURPOSE OF A DISCLOSURE STATEMENT 36. The Disclosure Statement. The following Sections describe the purpose, requirements and the process utilized by the Court in approving or denying the use of this Disclosure Statement in soliciting votes of holders of Claims for approval of the Plan. 36.1 Purpose of this Disclosure Statement. The management of the Debtor has prepared and caused this Disclosure Statement to be filed on behalf of the Debtor for the Court's approval and for submission to the holders of Claims and Interest with respect to the Debtor and its assets. The purpose of this Disclosure Statement is to provide the holders of Claims and Interest against the Debtor with adequate information about the Debtor so that each holder of a Claim or Interest may make an informed judgment about the merits of the Plan, and decide whether to accept or reject the same. 36.2 Requirements of a Disclosure Statement. The Code requires that this Disclosure Statement contain "Adequate Information." The definition of "Adequate Information" refers to information of a kind, and in sufficient detail, as far as is reasonably practical in light of the nature and history of the debtor and the conditions of the debtor's books and records, that would enable a hypothetical reasonable investor, typical of holders of claims or interests of the relevant class, to make an informed judgment about a plan of reorganization, but adequate information need not include such information about any other possible or proposed plan of reorganization. Chapter 11 37. Chapter 11. The following Sections explain, in general terms, Chapter 11 of the Code. 37.1. How a Chapter 11 Case is Started and by Whom. A Chapter 11 case may be filed "voluntarily" by a debtor or may be filed "involuntarily" against a debtor by an unsecured creditor(s) and, in some cases, by a secured creditor(s). The number of creditors necessary to commence an involuntary case depends primarily upon the number of creditors that a debtor has. The usual purpose of a Chapter 11 filing is to enable a DEBTOR'S DISCLOSURE STATEMENT - Page 46 business to continue in operation despite its temporary inability to meet its obligations to creditors as they become due. However, a Chapter 11 proceeding might also be filed for the sole purpose of closing a business and liquidating its assets. 37.2 Who may be a Chapter 11 Debtor. While most Chapter 11 debtors are corporations, partnerships and individuals also may be debtors under Chapter 11. Although nearly all of the debtors who file a bankruptcy case are, in fact, unable to pay their debts as they become due, there is no requirement that the debtor be in any particular financial condition in order to file a case. A debtor may file a Chapter 11 case even though the value of the debtor's assets exceeds the amount of the debtor's liabilities and even though none of the debtor's obligations are in default. 37.3 What a Chapter 11 Accomplishes Initially. The filing of a Chapter 11 petition automatically stays all entities from any further efforts to collect their debts or enforce their liens until the stay is lifted by the Court or expires. In a Chapter 11 case, the debtor is the only possible proponent of a plan of reorganization during the initial one hundred twenty (120) days of the case unless certain special conditions are met (appointment of a trustee) or the one hundred twenty (120) day period is reduced (unless the Court extends it). At the conclusion of the one hundred twenty (120) day period, any party in interest may propose a plan of reorganization. Once a plan of reorganization has been filed by a debtor, within such period, or if such period has expired and the debtor's disclosure statement has been approved by the Court, no other plan of reorganization may be submitted to creditors until additional time has expired for acceptance of that plan of reorganization. 37.4 Debt Adjustment. Chapter 11 permits the adjustment of secured claims, unsecured claims and equity claims or interests. A Chapter 11 plan of reorganization may provide less than full satisfaction of senior indebtedness and payment of junior indebtedness or may provide for return to equity owners, absent full satisfaction of indebtedness, so long as no impaired class votes against the plan of reorganization. The Process of Confirming a Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 38. The Confirmation Process. The following Sections explain the process of confirming a plan of reorganization under Chapter 11. 38.1 Voting. The following Sections explain the voting requirements under Chapter 11. (a) Requirements of Voting. A Creditor or Interest Holder, in order to vote on the Plan, must have filed a proof of claim with the Court prior to the Bar Date, unless that Creditor or Interest Holder was scheduled by the Debtor as not disputed, not liquidated and not contingent. Any Creditor or Interest Holder scheduled as not disputed, not liquidated and not contingent is, to the extent scheduled, deemed to have filed a Claim and, absent objection, such Claim is deemed allowed. (b) Importance of Voting. As a Creditor, your vote is important. The Plan can be confirmed by the Court if it is accepted by the holders of two-thirds (2/3) DEBTOR'S DISCLOSURE STATEMENT - Page 47 in amount and more than one-half (1/2) in number of Claims voting on the Plan in each Class of Claims and by the holders of two-thirds (2/3) in amount of Interest voting on the Plan in each Class of Interests. In the event the requisite acceptances are not obtained, the Court may nevertheless confirm the Plan if one "impaired class" votes for Confirmation and if the Court finds that the Plan does not "discriminate unfairly" and accords "fair and equitable treatment" to the Classes rejecting it. (c) Fill in Ballots Properly. Each Creditor and other parties in interest are urged to fill in, date, sign, and promptly mail the enclosed Ballot which is furnished to you. Be sure to properly complete the form and legibly identify the name of the Claimant. (d) Parties Bound. Whether a Creditor votes on the Plan or not, such Creditor will be bound by the terms and treatment set forth in the Plan, if the Plan is accepted by the requisite majorities of Classes of Creditors and is confirmed by the Court. Absent some affirmative act constituting a vote, such Creditor will not be included in the tally. Allowance of a Claim for voting purposes does not necessarily mean that all or a portion of the Claim will be allowed for distribution purposes. (e) Solicitations. The Debtor, or others, might solicit your vote. The cost of any solicitation by the Debtor will be borne by the Debtor. 38.2 Confirmation of a Consensual Plan of Reorganization. A plan of reorganization may be confirmed in one of two ways. The first is with the approval of creditors by their affirmative vote for confirmation, provided that certain conditions have been complied with, which is known as the confirmation of a consensual plan of reorganization. The second method is over the opposition of one or more classes of creditors, which is known as the "cramdown" confirmation of a plan of reorganization. In either event, the plan of reorganization proponent must have sought and obtained approval of a disclosure statement from which the proponent has sought to solicit the votes of creditors and interest holders. The Court can confirm a plan of reorganization, assuming all other requirements are met, if two-thirds (2/3) in amount and more than one-half (1/2) in number of the allowed claims of each impaired class of claims and more than two-thirds (2/3) in amount of the allowed interests of each impaired class of interest votes affirmatively for a plan of reorganization. The following Sections explain the general requirements that must be met in order for a debtor to confirm a plan of reorganization consensually. (a) Compliance With the Bankruptcy Code. The plan of reorganization must comply with the applicable provisions of the Code. These provisions mean that the plan of reorganization must not only meet the requirements of the confirmation section of the Code but must also comply with the other relevant Sections of the Code, such as claim classification and the contents of the plan of reorganization. (b) Claim Classification. Probably the most important provisions of Chapter 11, outside of the requirements of the confirmation section of the Code, which must be met, are those relating to classification. Claims in particular classes DEBTOR'S DISCLOSURE STATEMENT - Page 48 must be substantially similar to the other claims of the class, with the modest exception that a separate class of claims based on the size of the claims can be created for administrative convenience. (c) Contents of the Plan of Reorganization..The plan of reorganization must provide the same treatment for each claim of a particular class, absent consent to less favorable treatment by the holder of a particular claim. There are certain formalities that a plan of reorganization must adhere to under the Code. Among others, the plan of reorganization must designate classes and specify whether or not classes are impaired, and their treatment if they are impaired. The plan of reorganization must also provide adequate means for its execution. (d) Compliance by Plan of Reorganization Proponent. The proponent of a plan of reorganization must comply with the applicable provisions of Chapter 11. An important provision by which the proponent is bound is the ban on post-petition solicitation of the plan of reorganization unaccompanied by a written disclosure statement approved by the Court. A failure to abide by the ban would result in a disqualification of the acceptances, but would not necessarily preclude confirmation. (e) Plan of Reorganization Must be Proposed in Good Faith and Not by Any Means Forbidden by Law. The Code precludes confirmation of the plan of reorganization that is not proposed in good faith. Good faith means that a plan of reorganization has a reasonable likelihood of achieving a result consistent with the objectives of the Code. The Code refuses to use acceptances or rejections which are not in good faith as a basis for denial of confirmation of a plan of reorganization. Instead, the Court, at the request of a party in interest and after notice and a hearing, "may designate any entity whose acceptances or rejection of such plan of reorganization was not in good faith." If the Court makes such a designation, then an acceptance or rejection by that entity is not counted. The Code precludes confirmation if the plan of reorganization is proposed "by any means forbidden by law." By referring to "law" rather than the "Act or Title 11," the Code broadens the scope of this prohibition and encompasses such statutes as those which, among other things, make it a crime to knowingly and fraudulently give, offer, receive or attempt to obtain any money or property, remuneration, compensation, reward, advantage or promise for acting or forbearing to act in any bankruptcy case. (f) Approval of Services and Expenses. Payments made or promises given for services and expenses in or in connection with the case or plan of reorganization or incident to the case must be disclosed to the Court, if such payments are made or promised by the plan of reorganization proponent, by the debtor, or by a person issuing securities or acquiring property under the plan of reorganization. The Court cannot confirm a plan of reorganization absent such a disclosure. The Code, however, goes beyond conditioning confirmation on disclosure; the pre-confirmation payments must have been approved by the Court as reasonable and any payments after confirmation are subject to the approval of the Court as reasonable. DEBTOR'S DISCLOSURE STATEMENT - Page 49 (g) Approval by Regulatory Authorities. If the Debtor's rates are subject to regulatory approval, then the rates contained in the plan of reorganization must have either been approved by such regulatory authority or be subject to the approval of the regulatory authority. (h) The "Best Interest of Creditors" Test. If unanimous agreement is achieved, the Court may confirm a plan of reorganization which is accepted by each class of claims impaired under the plan of reorganization. Only the holders of claims actually voting are counted in determining class acceptance. However, the Court must find that each holder of a claim of the class will receive not less than the holder would receive if the debtor was liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Code, which is known as the "Best Interest of Creditors" test. Therefore, if there is no dissenting class, the test for approval by the Court of a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization (i.e. Confirmation) is whether the plan of reorganization is in the best interest of creditors. In simple terms, a plan of reorganization is considered by the Court to be in the best interest of creditors if the plan of reorganization will provide a better recovery to the creditors than they would obtain if the debtor were liquidated and the proceeds of liquidation were distributed in accordance with the bankruptcy liquidation (Chapter 7) priority. Therefore, if the plan of reorganization provides creditors with money or other property of a value exceeding the probable dividend in a liquidation bankruptcy, then the plan of reorganization is in the best interest of creditors. The Court, in considering this factor, is not required to consider any alternative to the plan of reorganization other than liquidation bankruptcy. (i) Priority Claims. The Code prescribes the priority of claims that is applicable to reorganization as well as liquidation. Generally speaking, priority is afforded administrative expenses, claims arising during the "gap period," wage and related claims, employee benefit contributions, consumer deposits, taxes and customs duties. These priority claims must be paid in either deferred cash payments with interest, if such classes vote for acceptance of the plan of reorganization, or in cash, with the exception of tax claims which may be paid over a period of six (6) years, with interest from the date of assessment. (j) Feasibility. The Code requires as a condition of confirmation "that confirmation of the plan of reorganization is not likely to be followed by the liquidation, or the need for further financial reorganization, of the debtor or any successor to the debtor under the plan of reorganization, unless such liquidation or reorganization is proposed in the plan of reorganization." The Code excepts from this condition a plan of reorganization which proposes liquidation; in addition, a reorganization proposed in the plan of reorganization is excluded. In considering feasibility, i.e., that confirmation is not likely to be followed by liquidation or further reorganization, the Court is only required to determine whether the plan of reorganization can be fulfilled by the debtor. This entails determining: (1) Available Cash. The availability of cash for payments required at confirmation; DEBTOR'S DISCLOSURE STATEMENT - Page 50 (2) Future CashThe ability of the debtor to generate future cash flow sufficient to make payments called for under the plan of reorganization and to continue in business; and, (3) Absence of Other Factors. The absence of any other factor which might make it impossible for the debtor to accomplish that which it promises to accomplish in the plan of reorganization or to continue its existence as contemplated in the plan of reorganization. (k) Determination That the Plan of Reorganization Has Been Accepted. In the event a class is unimpaired, it is automatically deemed to accept the plan of reorganization. A class is unimpaired, in essence, if (1) its rights after confirmation are the same as what existed (or what would have existed absent defaults) before the commencement of the Chapter 11 case and any existing defaults are cured or provided for and the class is reimbursed actual damages; or (2) the allowed claims of the classes are paid in full in cash as though matured. In determining whether a class has accepted, for purposes of satisfying this condition of confirmation, the vote of an insider is disregarded. Therefore, if there are insiders who have voted in one or more classes, not only do all classes of claims have to accept the plan of reorganization, but a further condition exists that requires one of such classes to have voted in favor of the plan of reorganization, after disregarding the votes of such insiders. An insider is broadly defined under the Code and includes, where the debtor is a corporation, officers, directors, and persons in control, as well as their relatives. If a debtor is an individual, the definition of insider includes relatives. If the debtor is a business, insider includes the equity security holders, and relatives of the equity security holders and persons in control. Control is not defined, but at a minimum, it encompasses management and those in a position to elect management. 38.3 Confirmation of a Non-Consensual Plan of Reorganization. The Court may confirm a plan of reorganization where there is a negative class vote if the plan of reorganization meets all of the other requirements of confirmation, and at least one impaired class of claims has accepted the plan of reorganization: the plan of reorganization "does not discriminate unfairly," and is "fair and equitable," with respect to each class of claims that is impaired under, and has not accepted, the plan of reorganization. Therefore, if an impaired class votes against the plan of reorganization, this does not necessarily make implementation of the plan of reorganization impossible, so long as the plan of reorganization does not discriminate unfairly and is fair and equitable, in that the class is afforded certain treatment defined by the Code. That certain treatment may be very broadly defined as providing to a creditor the full value of his claim. That value is determined by the Court and balanced against the treatment afforded the dissenting class of creditors. If the latter is equal to or greater than the former, the plan of reorganization may be confirmed over the dissent of that class, depending on treatment of junior claims. This type of confirmation of a plan of reorganization is known as the "cramdown." Cramdown is a colloquial term for confirmation of a plan of reorganization over the dissent of a class of claims. A plan of reorganization proponent must request a DEBTOR'S DISCLOSURE STATEMENT - Page 51 cramdown, as the Court cannot consider this alternative on its own motion. In the alternative, if there is a dissenting class of claims, the Court can confirm a plan of reorganization if the proponent of the plan of reorganization so requests and the Court finds that all requirements, other than all classes consenting, are met and the plan of reorganization "does not discriminate unfairly," and is "fair and equitable" with respect to each class of claims or interest that is impaired under, and has not accepted, the plan of reorganization. (a) Secured Creditors and the Cramdown. In order to be fair and equitable to a dissenting impaired class of secured claims, a plan of reorganization must satisfy one of three (3) alternative prerequisites. A dissenting class of secured claims will be considered not to have received fair and equitable treatment under the plan of reorganization unless one of the alternative means is met. The following Sections explain how a plan of reorganization may be confirmed over the objection of secured creditors. (b) Cash Out - An Alternative to Cramdown. Another means of dealing with a dissenting, secured creditor, other than cramdown, is to provide in the plan of reorganization that the secured creditor will be "cashed out." This is so because a secured creditor is not considered to have its rights impaired if the plan of reorganization provides that, on the effective date of the plan of reorganization, the holder of such claim receives, on account of such claim, cash equal to the allowed amount of such claim. The result are that the secured creditor is deemed to accept the treatment and the cramdown requirements need not be met. Under Section 506(a) of the Code, "an allowed claim" of a creditor secured by a lien on property in which the estate has an interest, or that is subject to set-off under Section 553 of this title, is an allowed secured claim to the extent of the value of such creditor's interest in the estate's interest in such property, or to the extent of the amount subject to set-off, as the case may be. It is an unsecured claim to the extent that the value of such creditor's interest or the amount so subject to setoff is less than the amount of such "allowed claim." If the value of the collateral is less than the claim, then the secured claim is limited to the value of the collateral. If the holder of the secured claim is paid that amount, there is no impairment and the result is that the secured creditor, at least as far as the secured claim is concerned, "is deemed to have accepted the plan of reorganization." The efficacy of the "cash out" is destroyed, however, by the Code provision which allows the holder of a secured claim or a class of secured claims to elect to have an undercollateralized claim treated as totally secured, pursuant to 1111(b) of the Code. The "cash out" provision can be used in conjunction with the cramdown in a plan of reorganization at least to force the undercollateralized secured creditor to accept cash in the amount of the value of the collateral and an unsecured claim for the balance or cash having a present value equal to the value of the collateral without an unsecured claim. Although the "cash out" provision has been shifted from the cramdown provisions of the Code, the result is the same. Secured creditors can be cashed out regardless of assent. There is one difference, however; there is a need to set forth the "cash out" in the plan of reorganization. This is different than the use of the cramdown power, which can be requested of the Court and need not be in the plan of reorganization itself. DEBTOR'S DISCLOSURE STATEMENT - Page 52 (c) Present Value Test. The Code considers it, as one of the alternative prerequisites, to be fair treatment of a dissenting class of secured claims if the security is retained and each holder of a claim receives deferred cash payments in the allowed amount of the claim. The present value of the deferred cash payments, measured at the effective date of the plan of reorganization, must be at least the value of the security. In most cases, this means the secured creditor must receive a "market rate of interest" on the creditor's allowed secured claim. To summarize, if a holder of a secured claim retains his lien, he can be paid off over a period of time. He must receive cash; he cannot, in most cases, receive reorganization securities or other property. The present value of the cash to be paid over a period of time must be at least the value of the security. The retained lien only secures the "allowed amount of [secured] claims." The allowed amount of the claim must be determined; if the secured creditor is over-collateralized, the secured creditor is also entitled to accruing interests and reasonable costs that are contained in the contract between the debtor and the secured creditor. This would be calculated as of the effective date of the plan of reorganization. This is also the date for determining the present value of the deferred payments. However, there is no indication in the Code as to what the effective date of a plan of reorganization is. It is not necessarily the date of confirmation or substantial consummation. The plan of reorganization or the order of confirmation will have to establish an appropriate effective date. An under-collateralized secured creditor may elect to have its claim treated entirely as a secured claim, except in cases where such creditor's interest in the estate's interest in such property is of an "inconsequential nature," pursuant to Section 1111(b) of the Code. In contrast to the very effective protection to the holder of a secured claim who is to be cashed out, the election is of limited value as far as the cramdown is concerned, because the present value of the deferred cash payments need only equal the value of the collateral. Thus, the plan of reorganization can be confirmed under the cramdown power, over objection of the electing under-collateralized secured creditor, if the creditor receives cash over a period of time, equal to the present value of the collateral. For example, if the secured claim is One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) and the value of the collateral is Five Hundred Dollars ($500), the holder of the secured claim would be paid the One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) over an extended period, without interest or if the proposed payments of Five Hundred Dollars ($500) plus interest equal or exceed One Thou sand Dollars ($1,000) the cramdown has been accomplished. The only advantage to the electing creditor is that it will have a lien securing the full amount of the allowed claim, so that if the value of the collateral increases after the case is closed, the deferred payments will be secured claims. This would be important only if there is a subsequent insolvency or foreclosure. A question may arise, in the case of an under-collateralized secured claim or a secured claim as to which the collateral is not sufficient to cover ongoing interest whether deferred cash payments of a present value equal to the amount of the claim are fair and equitable. If the pre-petition contractual rate of interest was ten percent (10%), while the interest rate prevailing at the effective date of the plan of reorganization is six percent (6%), the holder of the security will have been given a six percent (6%) interest bearing obligation for a ten percent (10%) interest bearing obligation. It is true that there may be no differential risk, since the same security is retained but there is a security of a lesser quality. The fact that the holder DEBTOR'S DISCLOSURE STATEMENT - Page 53 of the secured claim ends up with a different return on his investment is due to the calculation of the claim based on its liquidation value. (d) Sale Free and Clear of Lien. Another method of dealing with a dissenting class of a secured creditor is to sell the collateral free and clear of the lien, with the lien to attach to the proceeds. The holder of the secured claim must also receive deferred cash payment having a present value of the amount of the proceeds or the "indubitable equivalent" of its claim secured by the proceeds. In addition, the holder of the secured claim may bid at the sale and offset the allowed claim against the purchase price of the property, in the event that the holder of the claim purchases the property. If there are senior and junior secured creditors, secured by the same collateral, the result of a sale may be to allow the senior creditors to bid in the property to the exclusion of the junior creditors. There would be no proceeds, since the senior creditors will offset their secured claims against the purchase price. Under those circumstances, simply because they were unable to bid enough to protect their position, the junior secured creditors would have no proceeds to look to and could not otherwise share such proceeds under the plan of reorganization. (e) Indubitable Equivalent of a Secured Claim. A third alternative method of dealing with dissenting secured creditors is to provide for the realization by the secured creditors of the "indubitable equivalent" of the secured claims. Abandonment of the collateral to a secured creditor would clearly satisfy indubitable equivalence, as would a lien on similar collateral. However, present cash payments less than the secured claim would not satisfy the standard because the creditor is deprived of an opportunity to gain from a future increase in value of the collateral. Unsecured notes as to the secured claim or equity securities of the debtor would not be the indubitable equivalent. With respect to an oversecured creditor, the secured claim will never exceed the allowed claim. (f) Unsecured Creditors and the Cramdown. The following Sections explain how a plan of reorganization may be confirmed over the objections of unsecured creditors and how the "absolute priority rule" effects confirmation when unsecured creditors fail to vote in favor of a plan of reorganization. (g) Overcompensation to Senior Creditors and the Absolute Priority Rules. The Code requires that senior creditors are not to be overcompensated. If the established valuation is such that senior creditors are not overcompensated, the plan of reorganization can be confirmed even though unsecured creditors receive nothing, if no class junior to the unsecured creditors receives anything. If the senior creditors are not overcompensated, the dissenting class of junior creditors is adequately compensated if they receive less than the allowed amount of their claims, but again, no class junior to the dissenting class may receive or retain any property under the plan of reorganization. The absolute priority rule has one exception which requires that such junior class make a substantial equity contribution. If the Court finds that an equity contribution is necessary for the implementation DEBTOR'S DISCLOSURE STATEMENT - Page 54 of the plan of reorganization and that the proposed equity contribution is substantial, the rule is circumvented. (h) Junior Classes. Before any junior claimant can participate under the plan of reorganization, each holder of a claim of a dissenting class of unsecured claims must secure or retain property with a value, as of the effective date of the plan of reorganization, equal to the allowed amount of that holder's claim. Unsecured creditors need not be paid in cash; they can be paid by issuance of reorganization securities. If paid in cash, they can be paid over a period of time. In order to meet the requirement of the Code, dissenting unsecured creditors will be paid in full before juniors can participate. (i) Interests and the Cramdown. The following Sections describe some of the more relevant provisions of the Code that deal with the rights of holders of interests in corporations and partnerships such as stockholders or investment units in limited partnerships and individuals who seek to retain non-exempt property under a plan of reorganization. (j) Interests. The Court has the power under the Code to confirm a plan of reorganization over the objection of a dissenting class of interests. Interest is not a defined term, but it is used throughout the Code as shorthand for ownership interests. Interest, as used in Chapter 11, necessarily encompasses all ownership interests, as Chapter 11 is for individual debtors as well as corporate and partnership debtors. (k) Absolute Priority Rule. The cramdown provisions applicable to interests are similar to those applicable to unsecured claims. The plan of reorganization can be confirmed over the dissent of a class of interest if the holders are paid off or no junior interests receive or retain anything, subject to the exception of equity contribution explained above. Modification of a Plan of Reorganization 39. Modification of a Plan of Reorganization. The proponent of a plan of reorganization may modify the plan of reorganization at any time before confirmation. As soon as a modification is filed, the modified plan of reorganization becomes the effective plan of reorganization. The plan of reorganization as modified must meet the Code requirements as to classification and plan of reorganization contents, pursuant to Section 1127(b) of the Code. The following Sections describe how a plan of reorganization may be modified both before and after confirmation of the plan of reorganization. 39.1 Disclosure Requirements. The proponents of a plan of reorganization as modified must also comply with the disclosure requirements of the Code. There can be no solicitation of an acceptance unless the one solicited has received a written disclosure statement approved by the Court after notice and hearing. If a disclosure statement as to the original plan of reorganization was already approved, then the additional disclosure statement may be relatively streamlined or simple, but that would depend on the facts DEBTOR'S DISCLOSURE STATEMENT - Page 55 and circumstances. Regardless of the simplicity of the modification, the disclosure procedures must be met. 39.2 Acceptance or Rejection Before Modifications. If acceptance or rejection has been obtained prior to the filing of a modification, the accepting or rejecting party must take affirmative action to change its previous acceptance or rejection. The Court must establish a time within which an acceptance or rejection can be changed. If the party accepting or rejecting does nothing within the set time, he is deemed to have accepted or rejected, whichever is appropriate, the plan of reorganization as modified. 39.3 Who May Seek Modification. After confirmation of a plan of reorganization, either the proponent of the plan of reorganization, the reorganized debtor or the debtor may seek to modify the plan of reorganization. However, the attempt must be made prior to substantial consummation of the plan of reorganization. The plan of reorganization as modified must meet the requirements of the Code as to classification and contents. 39.4 Substantial Consummation. Substantial consummation under the Code is defined as a transfer of the property proposed to be transferred by the plan of reorganization, assumption by the debtor, or the debtor's successor, of the business or management of the property dealt with by the plan of reorganization, and commencement of distribution under the plan of reorganization. At that point in time, rights are vested and cannot be modified. 39.5 Importance of Right to Modify. The real importance of post- confirmation modification is that it may enable plan of reorganization participants to increase their share as a result of subsequent events. It may be that seniors who have received most of the reorganization values can now be paid off through other financing, thereby significantly increasing the participation of juniors. 39.6 When a Modification is Effective. A modification is effective only if the Court, after notice and a hearing, confirms the plan of reorganization as modified. To do so, the Court must make the same findings required under the Code as to the confirmation of a plan of reorganization and, in addition, find that the circumstances warrant the modification. 39.7 Confirmation of a Modified Plan. One of the requirements of reorganization is that appropriate acceptances be obtained; absent such acceptances, the cramdown power must be utilized. Before acceptance can be solicited, the proponent must comply with the disclosure requirements. Only after the Court has, after notice and hearing, approved a proposed disclosure statement, will the proponent be in a position to transmit a disclosure statement. After the necessary acceptances are obtained, the Court can have the modification hearing and confirm, if the confirmation requirements of the Code are met and the circumstances warrant. 39.8 Prior Acceptances Binding. The proponent is assisted somewhat in that the prior acceptances are binding unless the one accepting decides to reject. The same is true of DEBTOR'S DISCLOSURE STATEMENT - Page 56 prior rejections; the one rejecting must decide to change the rejection to an acceptance, or the rejection continues. DEFINITIONS 40.
