All distributions under the Plan shall be made by the Disbursing Agent to the holder of each Allowed Claim at the address of such holder as listed on the Schedules, unless the Debtor has been notified in writing of a change of address, by filing a proof of Claim by such holder that provides an address for such holder different from the address reflected on the Schedules. Nothing contained in the Plan will require the Debtor, Reorganized Debtor, the Creditors' Committee or Disbursing Agent to attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed Claim.
- 3.
- Timing of Distribution.
Except as otherwise specified herein, payments made pursuant to the Plan will be in cash by checks drawn on a domestic bank, or by wire transfer from a domestic bank, in each case, at the option of the Disbursing Agent; provided, however, that cash payments to foreign holders of Allowed Claims may be made, at the option of the Disbursing Agent, in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction.

The Disbursing Agent will have no obligation to recognize the transfer of, or the sale of any participation in, any Allowed Claim that occurs after the close of business on the Effective Date, and will be entitled for all purposes to recognize and distribute only to those holders of Allowed Claims who are holders of such Claims as of the close of business on the Effective Date.

On the Effective Date all share certificates (including treasury stock), other instruments evidencing Equity Security Interests, and all options, warrants, calls, rights, puts, awards, commitments or any other agreements of any character to acquire such Equity Security Interests shall be deemed cancelled and of no further force and effect, without any further act or action under any applicable agreement, law, regulation, order or rule and the obligations of the Debtor under any such share certificates, and other agreements and instruments governing such Equity Security Interests shall be discharged.
