Promptly upon approval by the Bankruptcy Court, an Indenture Trustee’s approved fees and expenses for the period prior to the Effective Date will be treated as Allowed Claims and will be satisfied from the respective Segregated Account in accordance with the procedures described in this Section III.D, together with interest held in such Segregated Account on account of such approved fees and expenses.

Any shares of New Common Stock remaining in any Segregated Securities Account on the later of (a) the date that all of the Indenture Trustee’s fees and expenses have been paid from the Segregated Securities Account in the manner prescribed in Section III.D.2, above, as certified by each Indenture Trustee in a written notice to Reorganized NII, and (b) 90 days after the Effective Date, or such later date as Reorganized NII shall determine in its sole discretion, will be immediately distributed, on a pro rata basis, to those members of the Ad Hoc Noteholder Committee that originally set aside shares of New Common Stock to fund the Segregated Securities Account.

An order of the Bankruptcy Court entered on or prior to the Confirmation Date will specify the procedures for providing notice to each party whose Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is being assumed or assumed and assigned pursuant to the Plan of: (a) the contract or lease being assumed or assumed and assigned; (b) the Cure Amount Claim, if any, that the applicable Debtor believes it would be obligated to pay in connection with such assumption; and (c) the procedures for such party to object to the assumption or assumption and assignment of the applicable contract or lease or the amount of the proposed Cure Amount Claim.

22


 

B.   Payments Related to the Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

         To the extent that such Claims constitute monetary defaults, the Cure Amount Claims associated with each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan will be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, at the option of the Debtor assuming such contract or lease or the assignee of such Debtor, if any: (1) by payment of the Cure Amount Claim in cash on the Effective Date or (2) on such other terms as are agreed to by the parties to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. If there is a dispute regarding: (1) the amount of any Cure Amount Claim, (2) the ability of Reorganized NII or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed or (3) any other matter pertaining to assumption or assumption and assignment of such contract or lease, the payment of any Cure Amount Claim required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code will be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption. For assumptions of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases between Debtors, Reorganized NII may cure any monetary default (1) by treating such amount as either a direct or indirect contribution to capital or distribution (as appropriate) or (2) through an intercompany account balance in lieu of payment in cash.

C.   Bar Date for Rejection Damages

         Notwithstanding anything in the Bar Date Order to the contrary, if the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to Section V.A gives rise to a Claim (including any Claims arising from those indemnification obligations described in Section V.D.1) by the other party or parties to such contract or lease, such Claim will be forever barred and will not be enforceable against the Debtors, Reorganized NII, their respective successors or their respective properties unless a proof of Claim is Filed and served on Reorganized NII, pursuant to the procedures specified in the Confirmation Order and the notice of the entry of the Confirmation Order or another order of the Bankruptcy Court, no later than 30 days after the Effective Date.

D.   Special Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease Issues; Obligations to Indemnify Directors, Officers and Employees

         The obligations of each Debtor or Reorganized NII to indemnify any person serving as one of its directors, officers or employees prior to, as of or following the Petition Date by reason of such person’s prior or future service in such a capacity or as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership or other legal entity, to the extent provided in the applicable certificates of incorporation, bylaws or similar constituent documents, by statutory law or by written agreement, policies or procedures of or with such Debtor, will be deemed and treated as executory contracts that are assumed by the applicable Debtor or Reorganized NII pursuant to the Plan and section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date. Accordingly, such indemnification obligations will survive and be unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order, irrespective of whether such indemnification is owed for an act or event occurring before or after the Petition Date.

E.   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 Debtor liable thereunder or Reorganized NII in the ordinary course of its business. Accordingly, such contracts and leases (including any assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases) will survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order.

ARTICLE VI.

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

A.   Distributions for Claims Allowed as of the Effective Date

  1.   Distributions to Be Made on the Effective Date

         Except as otherwise provided in this Article VI, distributions of cash, New Common Stock and New Senior Notes to be made on the Effective Date to holders of Claims that are allowed as of the Effective Date will be deemed made on the Effective Date if made on the Effective Date or as promptly thereafter as practicable, but in any event no later than: (a) 45 days after the Effective Date or (b) such later date when the applicable conditions of Section V.B (regarding cure payments for Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases being assumed), Section VI.E.2 (regarding undeliverable distributions) or Section VI.J (regarding surrender of canceled instruments and securities) are satisfied. Distributions on account of Claims that become Allowed Claims after the Effective Date will be made pursuant to Sections VI.H and VII.C.

  2.   Distributions on the Effective Date in Respect of Disputed Class 6 Claims

         From and after the Effective Date, New Common Stock to be distributed on account of any unliquidated, contingent, unmatured or disputed Claim in Class 6 (a “Disputed Class 6 Claim”) (and any cash generated from dividends or distributions thereon) (a) will be maintained by and in the name of the applicable Disbursing Agent in the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve in accordance with Article VII and held in trust pending distribution by the Disbursing Agent for the benefit of the holders of such Claims, (b) will be accounted for separately and (c) will not constitute property of Reorganized NII. The Disbursing Agent will invest any cash in a manner consistent with Reorganized NII’s investment and deposit guidelines. Distributions of cash on account of each Disputed Class 6 Claim will include a pro rata share of the Cash Investment Yield from such investment of cash. New Common Stock to be issued and distributed on account of Allowed Disputed Class 6 Claims will be deemed issued as of the Effective Date, irrespective of the date on which it actually is distributed.

B.   Method of Distributions to Holders of Claims

         Reorganized NII, or such Third Party Disbursing Agents as Reorganized NII may employ in its sole discretion, will make all distributions of New Common Stock. Each Disbursing Agent will serve without bond, and any Disbursing Agent may employ or contract with other entities to assist in or make the distributions required by the Plan. Reorganized NII may, at its option, employ the Indenture Trustee to act as the Third Party Disbursing Agent in respect of Class 6 Claims.

C.   Compensation and Reimbursement for Services Related to Distributions

         Each Third Party Disbursing Agent providing services related to distributions pursuant to the Plan will receive from Reorganized NII, without further Bankruptcy Court approval, reasonable compensation for such services and reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such services. These payments will be made on terms agreed to with Reorganized NII and will not be deducted from distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan to holders of Allowed Claims (including any distributions of Cash Investment Yield) receiving distributions from a Third Party Disbursing Agent.

24


 

D.   Provisions Governing the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve

  1.   Funding of the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve

         On the Effective Date, the Reserved Distributions will be placed in the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve for the benefit of holders of Allowed Disputed Class 6 Claims.

  2.   Property Held in Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve

  a. Dividends and Distributions

         Cash dividends and other distributions on account of New Common Stock held in the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve will be transferred to the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve concurrently with the transfer of such dividends and other distributions to other holders of New Common Stock. Cash held in the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve as a result of such dividends and other distributions (i) will be deposited in a segregated bank account in the name of the applicable Disbursing Agent and held in trust pending distribution by the Disbursing Agent for the benefit of holders of Disputed Class 6 Claims, (ii) will be accounted for separately and (iii) will not constitute property of Reorganized NII. The Disbursing Agent will invest the cash held in the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve in a manner consistent with Reorganized NII’s investment and deposit guidelines. The Disbursing Agent also will place in the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve the Cash Investment Yield from such investment of cash.

  b. Recourse

         Each holder of a Disputed Class 6 Claim will have recourse only to the undistributed New Common Stock held in the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve for satisfaction of the distributions to which holders of Disputed Class 6 Claims are entitled under the Plan, and not to Reorganized NII, its property or any assets previously distributed on account of any Allowed Claim.

E.   Delivery of Distributions and Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions

  1.   Delivery of Distributions

  a. Generally

         Except as provided in Section VI.E.1.b, distributions to holders of Allowed Claims will be made by a Disbursing Agent (a) at the addresses set forth on the respective proofs of Claim Filed by holders of such Claims; (b) at the addresses set forth in any written certification of address change delivered to the Disbursing Agent (including pursuant to a letter of transmittal delivered to a Disbursing Agent) after the date of Filing of any related proof of Claim; or (c) at the addresses reflected in the applicable Debtor’s Schedules if no proof of Claim has been Filed and the Disbursing Agent has not received a written notice of a change of address.

25


 

  b. Special Provisions for Distributions to Holders of Old Note Claims

         Subject to the requirements of Section VI.J, distributions to holders of Allowed Old Note Claims will be made by a Disbursing Agent to the record holders of the Old Notes as of the Distribution Record Date, as identified on a record holder register to be provided to the Disbursing Agent by the Indenture Trustee, within five Business Days after the Distribution Record Date. This record holder register (i) will provide the name, address and holdings of each respective registered holder of Old Notes as of the Distribution Record Date and (ii) must be consistent with the Indenture Trustee’s Allowed proof of Claim. Each entry on the record holder register will be treated as an Allowed Class 6 Claim for purposes of distributions made pursuant to this Article VI.

  2.   Undeliverable Distributions Held by Disbursing Agents

  a. Holding and Investment of Undeliverable Distributions; Undelivered New Common Stock

                         i.      If any distribution to a holder of an Allowed Claim is returned to the Disbursing Agent as undeliverable, no further distributions will be made to such holder unless and until the Disbursing Agent is notified by written certification of such holder’s then-current address. Subject to Section VI.E.2.c, undeliverable distributions will remain in the possession of the applicable Disbursing Agent pursuant to this Section VI.E.2.a.i until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable. Undeliverable cash (including dividends or other distributions on account of undeliverable New Common Stock) will be held in segregated bank accounts in the name of the applicable Disbursing Agent for the benefit of the potential claimants of such funds. Any Disbursing Agent holding undeliverable cash will invest such cash in a manner consistent with Reorganized NII’s investment and deposit guidelines. Undeliverable New Common Stock will be held by the applicable Disbursing Agent for the benefit of the potential claimants of such securities.

                         ii.      Pending the distribution of any New Common Stock, the applicable Disbursing Agent will cause all of the New Common Stock held by it in its capacity as Disbursing Agent (i.e., all Reserved Distributions in the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve, whether relating to undeliverable distributions or simply undelivered distributions) to be (A) represented in person or by proxy at each meeting of the stockholders of Reorganized NII, (B) voted in any election of directors of Reorganized NII for the nominees recommended by the board of directors of Reorganized NII and (C) voted with respect to any other matter as recommended by the board of directors of Reorganized NII.

                         iii.      On each anniversary of the Effective Date that undeliverable distributions are being held on behalf of holders of Old Note Claims, the applicable Disbursing Agent will File with the Bankruptcy Court a list identifying all such holders. The Disbursing Agent shall have no additional filing requirements with respect to the undeliverable distributions held on behalf of holders of Old Note Claims.

  b. After Distributions Become Deliverable

         On each Quarterly Distribution Date, the applicable Disbursing Agents will make all distributions that become deliverable to holders of Allowed Claims during the preceding calendar quarter. Each such distribution will include, to the extent applicable: (i) a pro rata share of dividends or other distributions, if any, that were previously paid to the Disbursing Agent in respect of any New Common Stock included in such distribution and (ii) a pro rata share of the Cash Investment Yield from the investment of any undeliverable cash (including dividends or other distributions on undeliverable New Common Stock) from the date that such distribution would have first been due had it then been deliverable to the date that such distribution becomes deliverable.

26


 

  c. Failure to Claim Undeliverable Distributions

         Any holder of an Allowed Claim that does not assert a claim pursuant to the Plan for an undeliverable distribution to be made by the Disbursing Agent within two years after the later of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the last date on which a distribution was deliverable to such holder will have its claim for such undeliverable distribution discharged and will be forever barred from asserting any such claim against Reorganized NII or its property. In such cases with respect to Allowed Disputed Class 6 Claims, (i) unclaimed cash, New Common Stock will be retained in the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve for pro rata redistribution to holders of Allowed Claims in such Class, pursuant to Section VI.H.2.b, and (ii) for purposes of this redistribution, each Allowed Disputed Class 6 Claims for which such distributions are undeliverable will be deemed disallowed in its entirety. In such cases with respect to Allowed Claims in any other Class, unclaimed cash will become property of Reorganized NII, free of any restrictions thereon, and any such cash held by a Third Party Disbursing Agent will be returned to Reorganized NII. Nothing contained in the Plan will require any Debtor, Reorganized NII or any Disbursing Agent to attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed Claim.

F.   Distribution Record Date

     1.     The Disbursing Agent will have no obligation to recognize the transfer of, or the sale of any participation in, any Allowed Old Note Claim that occurs after the close of business on the Distribution Record Date and will be entitled for all purposes herein to recognize and make distributions only to those holders of Allowed Old Note Claims that are holders of such Claims, or participants therein, as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date.

     2.     As of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the respective transfer registers for the Old Notes, as maintained by the Debtors or the Indenture Trustee, will be closed. The Disbursing Agent will have no obligation to recognize the transfer or sale of any Old Note Claim that occurs after the close of business on the Distribution Record Date and will be entitled for all purposes herein to recognize and make distributions only to those holders of Old Note Claims who are holders of such Claims as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date.

     3.     Except as otherwise provided in a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, the transferees of Disputed Class 6 Claims that are transferred pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001 on or prior to the Distribution Record Date will be treated as the holders of such Claims for all purposes, notwithstanding that any period provided by Bankruptcy Rule 3001 for objecting to such transfer has not expired by the Distribution Record Date.

G.   Means of Cash Payments

         Except as otherwise specified herein, cash payments made pursuant to the Plan will be in U.S. currency by checks drawn on a domestic bank selected by the applicable Debtor or Reorganized NII or, at the option of the applicable Debtor or Reorganized NII, by wire transfer from a domestic bank; provided, however, that cash payments to foreign holders of Allowed Trade Claims may be made, at the option of the applicable Debtor or Reorganized NII, in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction.

27


 

H.   Timing and Calculation of Amounts to Be Distributed

  1.   Allowed Claims Other Than Disputed Class 6 Claims

         Subject to Section VI.A, on the Effective Date, each holder of an Allowed Claim other than a Disputed Class 6 Claim will receive the full amount of the distributions that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims in the applicable Class. On each Quarterly Distribution Date, distributions also will be made, pursuant to Section VII.C, to holders of Disputed Claims in any such Class that were allowed during the preceding calendar quarter. Such quarterly distributions also will be in the full amount that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims in the applicable Class.

  2.   Allowed Disputed Class 6 Claims

  a. Initial Distributions

         The amount of distributions to be made on the Effective Date (subject to Section VI.A) to holders of Allowed Disputed Class 6 Claims on account of such Claims will be made from the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve and will be calculated as if each Disputed Class 6 Claim were an Allowed Claim in its Face Amount. On each Quarterly Distribution Date, distributions also will be made, pursuant to Section VII.C, to holders of Disputed Class 6 Claims that were allowed during the preceding calendar quarter. Such quarterly distributions also will be calculated pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Section VI.H.2.a.

  b. Additional Distributions on Account of Previously Allowed Claims

         On the fourth Quarterly Distribution Date and annually thereafter, each holder of a Disputed Class 6 Claim will receive an additional distribution from the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve on account of such Claim in an amount equal to: (i) the amount of New Common Stock that such holder would have been entitled to receive pursuant to Section VI.H.2.a as if such Claim had become an Allowed Claim on the applicable Quarterly Distribution Date, minus (ii) the aggregate amount of New Common Stock previously distributed on account of such Claim. Each such additional distribution also will include, on the basis of the amount then being distributed: (i) a pro rata share of any dividends or other distributions made on account of the New Common Stock held in the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve and (ii) a pro rata share of the related Cash Investment Yield from the investment of any cash dividends and other distributions in the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve, from the date such cash was deposited into the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve to the date that such distribution is made.

  3.   Distribution of New Senior Notes.

         The Debtors shall be authorized to conduct the Rights Offering for the New Senior Notes, pursuant to the terms described herein.

28


 

  4.   Distributions of New Common Stock

         Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, only whole numbers of shares of New Common Stock will be issued. When any distribution on account of an Allowed Disputed Class 6 Claim would otherwise result in the issuance of a number of shares of New Common Stock that is not a whole number, the actual distribution of shares of such stock will be rounded to the next higher or lower whole number as follows: (a) fractions equal to or greater than 1/2 will be rounded to the next higher whole number and (b) fractions less than 1/2 will be rounded to the next lower whole number. The total number of shares of New Common Stock to be distributed on account of Allowed Claims will be adjusted as necessary to account for the rounding provided for in this Section VI.H.4. No consideration will be provided in lieu of fractional shares that are rounded down. Further, certificates evidencing shares of New Common Stock shall not be issued for an amount fewer than 100 shares. Subject to the $10 minimum described below, see “Distributions Under the Plan – Timing and Calculation of Amounts to be Distributed – De Minimis Distributions,” Allowed Claims entitled to receive less than 100 shares of New Common Stock shall be paid in cash on the Effective date at the rate of $2.50 per share.

  5.   De Minimis Distributions

         No Disbursing Agent will distribute cash to the holder of an Allowed Claim in an impaired Class if the amount of cash to be distributed on account of such Claim is less than $10. Any holder of such an Allowed Claim on account of which the amount of cash to be distributed is less than $10 will have its claim for such distribution discharged and will be forever barred from asserting any such claim against Reorganized NII or its property. Any cash not distributed pursuant to Section VI.H.1 with respect to Claims other than Disputed Class 6 Claims will be the property of Reorganized NII, free of any restrictions thereon, and any such cash held by a Third Party Disbursing Agent will be returned to Reorganized NII. Further, certificates evidencing shares of New Common Stock shall not be issued for an amount fewer than 100 shares. Subject to the $10 minimum described above, Allowed Claims entitled to receive less than 100 shares of New Common Stock shall be paid in cash on the Effective date at the rate of $2.50 per share.

  6.   Compliance with Tax Requirements

                  a.     In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Disbursing Agent will comply with all Tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on it by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan will be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. Each Disbursing Agent will be authorized to take any actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements.

                  b.     Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, each entity receiving a distribution of cash or New Common Stock pursuant to the Plan will have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any Tax obligations imposed on it by any Governmental Unit on account of such distribution, including income, withholding and other Tax obligations.

29


 

I.   Setoffs

         Except with respect to claims of a Debtor or Reorganized NII released pursuant to the Plan or any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document entered into or delivered in connection with the Plan, Reorganized NII or, as instructed by Reorganized NII, the Third Party Disbursing Agent may, pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable nonbankruptcy law, set off against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claim (before any distribution is made on account of such Claim) the claims, rights and causes of action of any nature that the applicable Debtor or Reorganized NII may hold against the holder of such Allowed Claim; provided that neither the failure to effect a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder will constitute a waiver or release by the applicable Debtor or Reorganized NII of any claims, rights and causes of action that the Debtor or Reorganized NII may possess against such a Claim holder.

J.   Surrender of Canceled Instruments or Securities

         As a condition precedent to receiving any distribution pursuant to the Plan on account of an Allowed Claim evidenced by the notes, instruments, securities or other documentation canceled pursuant to Section IV.G, the holder of such Claim must tender, as specified in this Section VI.J, the applicable notes, instruments, securities or other documentation evidencing such Claim to the Disbursing Agent, together with any letter of transmittal required by such Disbursing Agent. Pending such surrender, any distributions pursuant to the Plan on account of any such Claim will be treated as an undeliverable distribution pursuant to Section VI.E.2.

  1.   Tender of Old Notes

         Except as provided in Section VI.J.2 for lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Old Notes, each holder of an Allowed Old Note Claim must tender the applicable Old Notes to the Disbursing Agent in accordance with a letter of transmittal to be provided to such holders by the Disbursing Agent as promptly as practicable following the Effective Date. The letter of transmittal will include, among other provisions, customary provisions with respect to the authority of the holder of the applicable Old Notes to act and the authenticity of any signatures required thereon. All surrendered Old Notes will be marked as canceled and delivered to Reorganized NII.

  2.   Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Old Notes

         Any holder of an Allowed Old Note Claim with respect to which the underlying Old Note has been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed must, in lieu of surrendering such Old Note, deliver to the applicable Disbursing Agent: (a) evidence satisfactory to the Disbursing Agent of the loss, theft, mutilation or destruction and (b) such security or indemnity as may be required by the Disbursing Agent to hold the Disbursing Agent and Reorganized NII, as applicable, harmless from any damages, liabilities or costs incurred in treating such individual as a holder of an Old Note. Upon compliance with this Section VI.J.2 by a holder of an Allowed Old Note Claim, such holder will, for all purposes under the Plan, be deemed to have surrendered the applicable Old Note.

  3.   Failure to Surrender Old Notes

         Any holder of an Allowed Old Note Claim that fails to surrender or be deemed to have surrendered the applicable Old Notes within two years after the Effective Date will have its right to distributions pursuant to the Plan on account of such Old Note Claim discharged and will be forever barred from asserting any such Claim against Reorganized NII or its property. In such case, any cash or New Common Stock held for distribution on account of such Old Note Claim will be treated pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section VI.E.2.c.

30


 

ARTICLE VII.

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED CLAIMS

A.   Prosecution of Objections to Claims

  1.   Objections to Claims

         All objections to Claims must be Filed and served on the holders of such Claims by the Claims Objection Bar Date, and, if Filed prior to the Effective Date, such objections will be served on the parties on the then-applicable service list in the Reorganization Cases. If an objection has not been Filed to a proof of Claim or a scheduled Claim by the Claims Objection Bar Date, the Claim to which the proof of Claim or scheduled Claim relates will be treated as an Allowed Claim if such Claim has not been allowed earlier.

  2.   Authority to Prosecute Objections

         After the Effective Date, the Debtors or Reorganized NII will have the authority to File, settle, compromise, withdraw or litigate to judgment objections to Claims, including pursuant to any alternative dispute resolution or similar procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Any party in interest may object to a Claim, or the compromise or settlement thereof in accordance with section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code. Creditors holding Secured Claims are not subject to this Section of the Plan. After the Effective Date, Reorganized NII may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim up to $100,000 without the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. For Disputed Claims above $100,000, Reorganized NII may move for authority to settle or compromise any Disputed Claim within a fixed class or classes of controversy. Notice of such motion will be made to the UST and any other party in interest who requests such notification from Reorganized NII.

B.   Treatment of Disputed Claims

         Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no payments or distributions will be made on account of a Disputed Claim until such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. In lieu of distributions under the Plan to holders of Disputed Claims, if allowed, the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve will be established on the Effective Date to hold property for the benefit of these Claim holders, as well as holders of Allowed Disputed Class 6 Claims. Reorganized NII will fund the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve with New Common Stock, as described in Section VI.D.1. Reorganized NII shall create and fund such other Disputed Claims reserves as may be necessary pending resolution of all other Disputed Claims.

C.   Distributions on Account of Disputed Claims Once Allowed

         On each Quarterly Distribution Date, the applicable Disbursing Agent will make all distributions on account of any Disputed Claim that has become an Allowed Claim during the preceding calendar quarter. Such distributions will be made pursuant to the provisions of the Plan governing the applicable Class, including the incremental distribution provisions set forth in Section VI.H.2.

31


 

D.   Tax Requirements for Income Generated by Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve

         The recovery of holders of Allowed Disputed Class 6 Claims consists of the treatment set forth herein and post-Effective Date interest on the cash portion of such Claims, if any, at a rate determined by the Cash Investment Yield. Therefore, Reorganized NII and the holders of all Allowed Disputed Class 6 Claims will treat cash distributions of the Cash Investment Yield as interest for all income Tax purposes, and Reorganized NII will cause such information returns to be issued to such holders consistent with this treatment as may be required by any Governmental Unit. Reorganized NII will include in its Tax returns all items of income, deduction and credit of the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve; provided, however, that no distribution will be made to Reorganized NII out of the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserves as a result of this inclusion. The applicable Disbursing Agent will pay, or cause to be paid, out of the funds held in the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve, any Tax imposed on the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve (as opposed to Reorganized NII or the holders of Allowed Disputed Class 6 Claims) by any Governmental Unit with respect to income generated by the funds and New Common Stock held in the Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve. The applicable Disbursing Agent also will file or cause to be filed any Tax or information return related to the applicable Disputed Class 6 Claim Reserve that is required by any Governmental Unit.

ARTICLE VIII.

SUBSTANTIVE CONSOLIDATION OF THE DEBTORS

         Pursuant to the Confirmation Order, the Bankruptcy Court shall approve the substantive consolidation of the Debtors for the purpose of implementing the Plan, including for purposes of voting, Confirmation and distributions to be made under the Plan. Pursuant to such order: (A) all assets and liabilities of NII and NII Delaware will be deemed merged; (B) all guarantees by one Debtor of the obligations of the other Debtor will be deemed eliminated so that any Claim against either Debtor and any guarantee thereof executed by the other Debtor and any joint or several liability of either Debtor will be deemed to be one obligation of the consolidated Debtors; and (C) each and every Claim Filed or to be Filed in the Reorganization Case of either Debtor will be deemed Filed against the consolidated Debtors and will be deemed one Claim against and a single obligation of the consolidated Debtors.

ARTICLE IX.

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE AND CONSUMMATION OF THE PLAN

A.   Conditions to the Effective Date

         The Effective Date will not occur, and accordingly no action in connection therewith will occur, unless and until the following conditions have been satisfied or duly waived pursuant to Section IX.B:

  2.   The Rights Offering shall have been completed, and shall have raised $140,000,000.

B.   Waiver of Conditions to the Confirmation or Effective Date

         Subject to the consent of NCI, MCC, Motorola, and the members of the Ad Hoc Noteholder Committee, the Conditions to the Effective Date set forth in Section IX.A may be waived in whole or in part by the Debtors at any time without an order of the Bankruptcy Court.

32


 

C.   Effect of Nonoccurrence of Conditions to the Effective Date

         If any condition to the Effective Date is not satisfied or duly waived in accordance with Section IX.B, then upon motion by the Debtors and upon notice to such parties in interest as the Bankruptcy Court may direct, the Confirmation Order will be vacated by the Bankruptcy Court; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the filing of such motion, the Confirmation Order may not be vacated if each of the conditions to the Effective Date is either satisfied or duly waived before the Bankruptcy Court enters an order granting such motion. If the Confirmation Order is vacated pursuant to this Section IX.C, (a) the Plan will be null and void in all respects, including with respect to: (i) the discharge of Claims and termination of Interests pursuant to section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code; and (ii) the assumptions, assignments or rejections of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to Section V.A hereof; and (b) nothing contained in the Plan will: (i) constitute a waiver or release of any claims by or against, or any Interest in, the Debtors; or (ii) prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtors or any other party in interest.

ARTICLE X.

CRAMDOWN

         The Debtors request Confirmation under section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any impaired Class, other than Class 6, that does not accept the Plan pursuant to section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors reserve the right to modify the Plan to the extent, if any, that Confirmation pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code requires modification.

ARTICLE XI.

DISCHARGE, TERMINATION, INJUNCTION AND SUBORDINATION RIGHTS

A.   Discharge of Claims and Termination of Interests

         1.     Except as provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order, the rights afforded under the Plan and the treatment of Claims and Interests under the Plan will be in exchange for and in complete satisfaction, discharge and release of all Claims and termination of all Interests arising on or before the Effective Date, including any interest accrued on Claims from the Petition Date. Except as provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order, Confirmation will, as of the Effective Date and immediately after cancellation of all Interests issued by or relating to either Debtor and outstanding immediately prior to the Petition Date: (a) discharge the Debtors from all Claims or other debts that arose on or before the Effective Date, and all debts of the kind specified in section 502(g), 502(h) or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, whether or not (i) a proof of Claim based on such debt is Filed or deemed Filed pursuant to section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a Claim based on such debt is allowed pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) the holder of a Claim based on such debt has accepted the Plan; and (b) terminate all Interests and other rights of equity security holders in the Debtors.

         2.     In accordance with the foregoing, except as provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, the Confirmation Order will be a judicial determination, as of the Effective Date and immediately after the cancellation of all Interests issued by or relating to either Debtor and outstanding immediately prior to the Petition Date and the issuance of the New Common Stock, of a discharge of all Claims and other debts and liabilities against the Debtors and a termination of all Interests and other rights of equity security holders in the Debtors, pursuant to sections 524 and 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, and such discharge will void any judgment obtained against a Debtor at any time, to the extent that such judgment relates to a discharged Claim or terminated Interest.

33


 

B.   Injunctions

         1.     Except as provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, as of the Effective Date, all entities that have held, currently hold or may hold a Claim or other debt or liability that is discharged or an Interest or other right of an equity security holder that is terminated pursuant to the terms of the Plan will be permanently enjoined from taking any of the following actions on account of any such discharged Claims, debts or liabilities or terminated Interests or rights: (a) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding against the Debtors, Reorganized NII or their respective property, other than to enforce any right pursuant to the Plan to a distribution; (b) enforcing, attaching, collecting or recovering in any manner any judgment, award, decree or order against the Debtors, Reorganized NII or their respective property, other than as permitted pursuant to (a) above; (c) creating, perfecting or enforcing any lien or encumbrance against the Debtors, Reorganized NII or their respective property; (d) asserting a setoff (except to the extent inconsistent with the treatment of Class 7 Creditors as provided elsewhere in the Plan) or right of subrogation of any kind against any debt, liability or obligation due to the Debtors or Reorganized NII; and (e) commencing or continuing any action, in any manner, in any place that does not comply with or is inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.

         2.     As of the Effective Date, all entities that have held, currently hold or may hold any claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, causes of action or liabilities that are released pursuant to the Plan will be permanently enjoined from taking any of the following actions against any released entity or its property on account of such released claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, causes of action or liabilities: (a) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding; (b) enforcing, attaching, collecting or recovering in any manner any judgment, award, decree or order; (c) creating, perfecting or enforcing any lien or encumbrance; (d) asserting a setoff (except to the extent inconsistent with the treatment of Class 7 Creditors as provided elsewhere in the Plan) or right of subrogation of any kind against any debt, liability or obligation due to any released entity; and (e) commencing or continuing any action, in any manner, in any place that does not comply with or is inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.

         3.     By accepting distributions pursuant to the Plan, each holder of an Allowed Claim receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan will be deemed to have specifically consented to the injunctions set forth in this Section XI.B.

C.   Termination of Subordination Rights and Settlement of Related Claims and Controversies

         1.     The classification and manner of satisfying all Claims and Interests under the Plan take into consideration all subordination rights, whether arising under general principles of equitable subordination, contract, section 510(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, that a holder of a Claim or Interest may have against other Claim or Interest holders with respect to any distribution made pursuant to the Plan. All subordination rights that a holder of a Claim may have with respect to any distribution to be made pursuant to the Plan will be discharged and terminated, and all actions related to the enforcement of such subordination rights will be permanently enjoined. Accordingly, distributions pursuant to the Plan to holders of Allowed Claims will not be subject to payment to a beneficiary of such terminated subordination rights or to levy, garnishment, attachment or other legal process by a beneficiary of such terminated subordination rights.

         2.     Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all claims or controversies relating to the subordination rights that a holder of a Claim may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or any distribution to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of any Allowed Claim. The entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, as of the Effective Date, of the compromise or settlement of all such claims or controversies and the Bankruptcy Court’s finding that such

34


 

compromise or settlement is in the best interests of the Debtors, Reorganized NII and their respective property and Claim and Interest holders and is fair, equitable and reasonable.

The Professionals retained by the Creditors’ Committee and the members thereof will not be entitled to assert any Fee Claim for any services rendered or expenses incurred after the Effective Date, except for services rendered and expenses incurred in connection with any applications for allowance of compensation and reimbursement of expenses pending on the Effective Date or Filed and served after the Effective Date pursuant to Section III.A.1 and in connection with any appeal of the Confirmation Order.

B.   Exculpation and Limitation of Liability

         None of the Debtors, Reorganized NII, NCI, the Creditors’ Committee, the Ad Hoc Noteholder Committee, MCC and Motorola or any of their respective members, officers, directors, employees, advisors, professionals or agents shall have or incur any liability to any holder of a Claim or Interest for any act or omission in connection with, related to, or arising out of, the Reorganization Cases, the pursuit of confirmation of the Plan, the consummation of the Plan or the administration of the Plan or the property to be distributed under the Plan, except for willful misconduct or gross negligence, and, in all respects, the Debtors, Reorganized NII, NCI, the Creditors’ Committee, the Ad Hoc Noteholder Committee, MCC and Motorola and each of their respective members, officers, directors, employees, advisors, professionals and agents shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities under the Plan.

         On the Effective Date, and in exchange for the considerations provided by, and obligations of NCI, the Creditors’ Committee, the Ad Hoc Noteholder Committee, MCC and Motorola as provided in the Plan, Plan Documents and the Disclosure Statement, the Debtors, on their own behalf, and on behalf of all the Debtors’ stockholders and creditors derivatively, hereby waive, release, and discharge NCI and its direct or indirect subsidiaries, the Creditors’ Committee, the Ad Hoc Noteholder Committee, MCC and Motorola, and all of their respective members, direct or indirect subsidiaries, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents,

36


 

advisors, attorneys, or representatives, in their capacity as such and not in any other capacity, and all of their respective heirs, representatives, predecessors, successors, and assigns (in their capacity as such and not in any other capacity), from all liability based upon any act or omission related to the Debtors or their direct or indirect subsidiaries through and including the Effective Date. Holders of claims and interests against the Debtors shall be enjoined from commencing or continuing any action, employment of process, or act to collect, offset, or recover any such claim that could be brought on behalf of or in the name of the Debtors.

  2.   Modification of Releases.

         Subject to the consent of NCI, MCC, Motorola and the Backstopping Noteholders, notwithstanding Section XIII.D, if and to the extent that the Bankruptcy Court concludes that the inclusion in the Plan of any portion of the foregoing releases would prevent Confirmation, then the Debtors reserve the right to amend the Plan so as to give effect as much as possible to the foregoing releases, or to delete them.

  3.   Global Release Agreement.

         On the Effective Date, the Debtors, NCI, MCC, Motorola and the members of the Ad Hoc Noteholder Committee shall have entered into the Global Release Agreement.

D.   Modification or Revocation of the Plan

         Subject to the restrictions on modifications set forth in section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors or Reorganized NII, as applicable, reserve the right to alter, amend or modify the Plan before its substantial consummation. The Debtors also reserve the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan as to any or all of the Debtors prior to the Confirmation Date. If the Debtors revoke or withdraw the Plan as to any or all of the Debtors, or if Confirmation as to any or all of the Debtors does not occur, then, with respect to such Debtors, the Plan will be null and void in all respects, and nothing contained in the Plan will: (a) constitute a waiver or release of any claims by or against, or any Interests in, such Debtors or (b) prejudice in any manner the rights of any Debtors or any other party.

E.   Severability of Plan Provisions

         If, prior to Confirmation, any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court will have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, and such term or provision then will be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated by such holding, alteration or interpretation. The Confirmation Order will constitute a judicial determination and will provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms.

F.   Successors and Assigns

         The rights, benefits and obligations of any entity named or referred to in the Plan will be binding on, and will inure to the benefit of, any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign of such entity.

         Any party in interest may review the Plan Supplement and Exhibits to the Disclosure Statement, which will be Filed by no later than September 3, 2002, during normal business hours (9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., local time) in the Document Reviewing Centers.
