I.
INTRODUCTION
     First Virtual Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, CUseeMe Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation, are the debtors and debtors in possession in the above-captioned jointly administered Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases. On January 20, 2005, the Debtors commenced their bankruptcy cases by each filing a voluntary Chapter 11 petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division. This document is the Joint Chapter 11 Plan proposed by the Debtors and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors appointed in the bankruptcy cases. Sent to you in the same envelope as this document is the Disclosure Statement which has been approved by the Court, and which is provided to help you understand the Plan.
     This Plan is a plan of reorganization. Pursuant to this Plan, it is anticipated that the Liquidating Trustee will (1) facilitate the Merger of FVC and U.S. Dry Cleaning, (2) make payments to Creditors and holders of Interests of the Debtors by distributing proceeds received from the sale of the Debtors’ assets and any other amounts recovered from the prosecution of the Causes of Action, and (3) distribute the shares of New Common Stock to be issued to the Estate pursuant to the Merger of FVC and U.S. Dry Cleaning, which shall be equal to 3.25% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Reorganized Debtor on the Effective Date or approximately 275,698 shares of New Common Stock.
     In addition, the Plan contemplates the substantive consolidation of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 estates, such that all of the assets and liabilities of each estate will be treated as one and the same. The Plan Proponents will file a separate motion, to be heard at the same time as confirmation of the Plan, for such substantive consolidation, which is needed to eliminate any issue over the allocation of assets and liabilities between the separate Chapter 11 estates resulting from the incomplete acquisition of CUseeMe by FVC and to avoid the substantial fees and costs associated with making that determination.

-2-


 

     Finally, the Plan provides for the distribution of all of the Debtors’ assets in accordance with the priority scheme set forth in the Bankruptcy Code. There may be Persons who may wish to claim a lien or other interest in such property. Any Person who wishes to assert a lien or other interest in such property must file a written objection to confirmation of the Plan and serve such objection on counsel for the Debtors and the Committee by no later than ___, 2005. Absent such an objection, the right to assert a lien or other interest in property of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 estates will be forever barred.
     If confirmed, the Effective Date of the Plan shall be ___, 2005.

CLASSIFICATION AND TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS
A. General Overview
     As required by the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan classifies Claims and Equity Interests into various classes according to their right to priority of payments as provided in the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan states whether each class of Claims or Equity Interests is impaired or unimpaired. The Plan provides the treatment each Class will receive under the Plan.
B. Unclassified Claims
     Certain types of Claims are not placed into voting Classes; instead, they are unclassified. They are not considered impaired and they do not vote on the Plan because they are automatically entitled to specific treatment provided for them in the Bankruptcy Code. As such, the Plan Proponents have not placed the following Claims into a Class. The treatment of these Claims is provided below.

C. The Liquidating Trust
     1. Appointment of Liquidating Trustee
          Gregory Sterling of Receivers Incorporated, who has been appointed Chief Restructuring Officer and designated the Estate’s Responsible Individual by order dated June 7, 2005, shall be appointed Liquidating Trustee in the Confirmation Order. Such appointment is subject to the terms of the Liquidating Trust Agreement.
     2. Establishment of Liquidating Trust
          On the Effective Date, the Debtors and the Liquidating Trustee shall execute the Liquidating Trust Agreement and shall take all other steps necessary to establish the Liquidating Trust. The Liquidating Trust shall be represented by, and shall act through, the Liquidating Trustee, and the affairs and administration of the Liquidating Trust shall be governed by the Plan, the Confirmation Order, the Liquidating Trust Agreement, and applicable bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy law.
     3. Transfer of Assets to the Liquidating Trust
          On the Effective Date, the Debtors shall transfer all of the Trust Assets to the Liquidating Trust, except for assets, including the Debtors’ computer system, needed to consummate the anticipated Merger of FVC and U.S. Dry Cleaning. The Debtors shall also execute and deliver all documents reasonably required by the Liquidating Trust, including the endorsement of any instruments, all business records of the Debtors, and authorizations to permit the Liquidating Trust to access all bank records, tax returns, and other files and records of the Debtors. All business records of the Debtors transferred to the Liquidating Trust shall constitute the business records of the Liquidating Trust pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 803(b) in any subsequent legal proceeding(s). The Liquidating Trust, after the Effective Date, shall control all of the Debtors’ applicable legal privileges, including control over the attorney-client privilege, for matters arising from or relating to transactions occurring, in whole or in part, prior to the Effective Date. Holders of Claims and Interests and other parties bound by the Plan shall look solely to the

-20-


 

Liquidating Trust for distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan, and the Reorganized Debtor will have no liability for pre-confirmation liabilities or obligations of the Debtors.
          On the Effective date, U.S. Dry Cleaning will merge with and into FVC. Upon successful completion of the Merger, the Liquidating Trust shall receive shares of New Common Stock equal to 3.25% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Reorganized Debtor on the Effective Date or approximately 275,698 shares of New Common Stock for the benefit of the beneficiaries of the Liquidating Trust in accordance with the Plan, the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Confirmation Order and applicable law. In accordance with order approving the retention of Gregory Sterling as Chief Reorganization Officer, he will receive 0.75% of common stock in the Reorganized Debtor or approximately 63,622 shares of New Common Stock, upon successful completion of the Merger; the 63,622 shares of New Common Stock to be issued to Gregory Sterling are in addition to the 275,698 shares of New Common Stock to be issued to the Liquidating Trust.
          U.S. Dry Cleaning has calculated, on a pro forma basis, that the value of the shares of New Common Stock equal to 3.25% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Reorganized Debtor has an aggregate value of $520,000. It is anticipated that the common stock of the Reorganized Debtor, including the approximately 275,698 shares of New Common Stock, will begin to be publicly traded approximately two months following confirmation of the Plan. For purposes of calculating distributions to be made under the Plan, the value of the 275,698 shares of New Common Stock shall be calculated based upon the average closing bid price for a share of stock for the five (5) trading days prior to the close of trading on the sixtieth (60th) day following the first day that such stock was traded publicly. The Liquidating Trustee shall not distribute any of the New Common Stock any earlier than the later of (a) the sixtieth (60th) day following the first day that such stock was traded publicly, and (b) the date of the initial distribution (other than New Common Stock) to holders of Class 4 General Unsecured Claims.

-21-


 

          The transfer of assets to the Liquidating Trust shall be treated for federal income tax purposes and for all purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”) (e.g., sections 61(a)(12), 483, 1001, 1012 and 1274), as a transfer to creditors to the extent creditors are beneficiaries of the Liquidating Trust. The transfer will be treated as a deemed transfer to the beneficiary-creditors followed by a deemed transfer by the beneficiary-creditors to the Liquidating Trust. The beneficiaries of the Liquidating Trust shall be treated as the grantors and deemed owners of the Liquidating Trust for federal income tax purposes.
     4. Rights, Powers and Duties of Liquidating Trust/Trustee
          The Liquidating Trustee shall have all rights, powers and duties specified in this Plan, the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Confirmation Order and applicable law. The Liquidating Trustee’s duties shall include, but not be limited to, converting to Cash the Trust Assets, making timely distributions, and not unduly prolonging the duration of the Liquidating Trust. The Liquidating Trustee’s rights and powers shall include, but not be limited to, the rights and powers of a debtor in possession under section 1107 of the Bankruptcy Code, the power to administer the Trust Assets, the power to prosecute any Causes of Action for the benefit of the Liquidating Trust in the event the Committee fails to do so, and to otherwise perform the functions and take the actions provided for or permitted in the Liquidating Trust Agreement. On the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trustee and the Committee shall be designated and serve as representatives of the Estate in accordance with section 1123(b)(3)(B) of the Code. Committee’s Counsel shall have authority to prosecute Causes of Action on behalf of the Liquidating Trustee.

          The Committee and the Liquidating Trustee may, but are not required to, prosecute, settle, adjust, retain, enforce or abandon any Cause of Action as representatives of the Estate under Section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise in accordance with the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement. Any and all proceeds generated from the prosecution of the Causes of Action shall constitute property of the

-22-


 

Liquidating Trust to be distributed in accordance with the Plan. The Liquidating Trust shall not be subject to any counterclaims in respect of the Causes of Action; provided, however, that the Causes of Action will be subject to any setoff rights to the same extent as if the Debtors had pursued the Causes of Action themselves.
          Notwithstanding any provision or interpretation to the contrary (except Article IX of this Plan), nothing in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, including the entry thereof, or the Liquidating Trust Agreement shall constitute or be deemed to constitute a release, waiver, relinquishment or bar, in whole or in part, of any Causes of Action possessed by the Estate or the Debtors prior to the Effective Date. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, determines that the assignment of any Causes of Action to the Liquidating Trust pursuant to this Plan is invalid or does not grant to the Liquidating Trust the standing to pursue such Causes of Action, then in such case the Liquidating Trust shall be deemed appointed as the representative of the Estate for purposes of pursuing such Causes of Action, and the proceeds thereof shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
     6. Post-Effective Date Administrative Fees and Expenses
          Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, this Plan or the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the amount of any reasonable Post-Effective Date Administrative Fees and Expenses shall be paid by the Liquidating Trustee in Cash in accordance with the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

All rights are reserved to assert that the agreements underlying any of the Employee Benefit Programs constitute executory contracts that are rejected pursuant to Article VIII of this Plan.

          Neither the Committee nor any Committee member shall be liable to any individual creditor, and shall be liable only to the Estate, for acts or omissions related to performance of its duties for the Estate. The Committee shall be liable to the Estate only

-28-


 

for such of its own acts as shall constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence. Except as provided herein, the Committee shall be defended, held harmless, and indemnified by the Estate against any and all losses, claims, costs, expenses, and liabilities (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) asserted by any Person other than the Estate and any costs of defending any action brought by any Person other than the Estate to which the Committee may be subject by reason of its execution in good faith of its duties under the Plan and the Confirmation Order and in a manner the Committee reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Estate. This indemnity is intended to be and shall be interpreted as providing indemnity to the fullest extent permissible under California law.
E. Employment and Compensation of Committee’s Counsel
     1. After the Effective Date, the employment of Committee’s Counsel by the Estate shall continue post-Confirmation on the same terms and conditions as its employment in the Chapter 11 Cases. Committee’s Counsel shall monitor the post-Confirmation activities of the Liquidating Trust, advise the Committee of such activities and perform all reasonably necessary actions to ensure the execution of the Plan. The Committee may not employ additional Professionals absent an order of the Bankruptcy Court, after a hearing on notice to the Liquidating Trustee, the U.S. Trustee, and parties requesting post-confirmation notice. Committee’s Counsel shall be compensated by the Liquidating Trustee, with such compensation being subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court on notice to the Committee, the Liquidating Trustee, the U.S. Trustee and parties requesting post-confirmation notice.
     2. Committee members shall serve without compensation, but shall be entitled to reimbursement of reasonable and necessary out of pocket expenses. Committee members shall submit a detailed invoice to the Liquidating Trustee, which invoice shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the submission thereof. If the Liquidating Trustee objects to a portion of the invoice, the Liquidating Trustee shall timely pay the undisputed portion of the invoice and shall reserve monies in the amount of the disputed invoice pending resolution of the objection by (a) written agreement between the member submitting the

-29-


 

invoice and the Liquidating Trustee, or (b) resolution of the disputed amount by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to a Final Order. Committee members shall also be entitled to coverage by an errors and omissions policy to indemnify them against claims, including defense costs, to the same extent as the Liquidating Trustee.
VI.
DISPUTED CLAIMS
A. Objections to Claims
     1. Authority to Prosecute Claim Objections
          Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court after notice and a hearing, and except as expressly provided herein, from and after the Effective Date the Liquidating Trustee and the Committee shall have the exclusive right to file objections to Claims and Equity Interests. As to objections filed by the Debtors or the Committee prior to the Effective Date but not resolved or determined before the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trustee and the Committee shall be vested on the Effective Date with all rights, interests, and authority of the Debtors or the Committee with respect to the objections.
     2. Claims Objection Deadline
          Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the deadline for objecting to Claims shall be one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Date or as may be further extended by order of the Bankruptcy Court; provided, however, that if the holder of the Claim is a debtor under any Chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, then the deadline shall be one hundred eighty (180) days after the Liquidating Trustee or the Committee obtains relief from stay or other relief which will permit the filing of an objection to such Claim.
     3. No Distributions Pending Allowance
          Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no Cash or other property shall be distributed under the Plan on account of any Claim or portion thereof unless and until such Claim or portion thereof becomes Allowed.

-30-


 

     4. Authority to Settle Disputed Claims
          From and after the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trustee and the Committee shall be authorized to compromise or settle, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, Disputed Claims or Equity Interests that are not Allowed hereunder or by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with the following procedures, which shall constitute sufficient notice in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules for compromise or settlement of claims:
          a. If the proposed amount at which the Disputed Claim to be Allowed is less than or equal to $10,000, the Liquidating Trustee or the Committee, as appropriate, shall be authorized and empowered to settle the Disputed Claim and execute necessary documents, including a stipulation of settlement or release, upon (i) the Liquidating Trustee or the Committee’s receipt of the consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Committee in the case of a settlement by the Liquidating Trustee or the consent of the Liquidating Trustee in the case of a settlement by the Committee, or (ii) Bankruptcy Court approval of such settlement after a hearing on notice to the Liquidating Trustee or the Committee, as appropriate, the U.S. Trustee and parties requesting post-confirmation notice; and
          b. If the proposed amount at which the Disputed Claim is to be Allowed is greater than $10,000, the Liquidating Trustee or the Committee (as appropriate) shall be authorized and empowered to settle such Disputed Claim and execute necessary documents, including a stipulation of settlement or release, only upon receipt of Bankruptcy Court approval of such settlement after a hearing on notice to the Liquidating Trustee or the Committee, as appropriate, the U.S. Trustee and parties requesting post-confirmation notice.
B. Setoffs
     The Liquidating Trustee may, in accordance with section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable non-bankruptcy law, set off against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claim (before any

-31-


 

distribution is made on account of such Claim), the claims, rights and causes of action of any nature that the Debtors or the Estate may hold against the holder of such Allowed Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors, the Estate, the Liquidating Trustee or the Committee of any such claims, rights and causes of action that the Debtors or the Estate may possess against such holder.
C. Estimation of Claims
     Subject to the allocation of authority and responsibility provided in the Plan, the Liquidating Trustee or the Committee may at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate, pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Claim that is contingent, unliquidated, or disputed regardless of whether any party in interest has previously objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim, including during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim, the amount of such estimation will constitute either the Allowed amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on such Claim, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court. If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on such Claim, the Liquidating Trustee or the Committee, as appropriate, may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate payment on such Claim. All of the aforementioned Claims objection, estimation and resolution procedures are cumulative and are not necessarily exclusive of one another. Claims may be estimated and thereafter resolved by any mechanism permitted under the Bankruptcy Code or the Plan.
D. Amendments to Claims
     Prior to the Confirmation Date, a Claim may be amended only as agreed upon by the Liquidating Trustee, the Committee, and the holder of such Claim, or as otherwise permitted by the Bankruptcy Court, the Bankruptcy Rules and applicable law. After the

-32-


 

Confirmation Date, a Claim may be filed only with the authorization of the Bankruptcy Court, and may be amended only with the authorization of the Bankruptcy Court or as agreed upon by the Liquidating Trustee, the Committee, and the holder of such Claim. Any new or amended Claim filed in violation of this paragraph shall be deemed Disallowed in full without any action by the Debtors, the Liquidating Trustee, or the Committee.
VII.
DISTRIBUTIONS
A. Disbursing Agent
     The Liquidating Trustee shall act as the disbursing agent under this Plan. The Liquidating Trustee shall make distributions of Cash and New Common Stock in accordance with the Plan.
B. Claim Distribution Record Date
     The date of record for determining the entitlement of any holder of a Claim is the Claim Distribution Record Date. The Debtors, the Liquidating Trustee, and each of their respective agents, successors, and assigns shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of Claims occurring after the Claim Distribution Record Date and shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal for all purposes hereunder only with those record holders of Claims as of the Claim Distribution Record Date irrespective of the number of distributions to be made under the Plan to such Persons or the date of such distributions. An assignee of a transferred and assigned scheduled or filed Claim shall be permitted to receive distributions in accordance with the Plan only if the transfer and assignment has been reflected on the Bankruptcy Court’s docket as of the Claim Distribution Record Date.
     1. Disputed Claims Reserve
          On the Effective Date and from time-to-time as further distributions are made, the Liquidating Trustee shall (a) deposit into the Disputed Claims Reserve Account Cash distributions, and (b) reserve shares of New Common Stock for any Disputed

-33-


 

Claims based on the assumption that all such Disputed Claims will be allowed in full, unless the Bankruptcy Court shall estimate that a smaller reserve is sufficient. If the Bankruptcy Court so orders, any claimant whose Claim is so estimated shall have recourse only to the reserve established by the Bankruptcy Court for such claimant’s Disputed Claim, and not to the Debtors, the Estate, the Reorganized Debtor, the Liquidating Trustee, the Liquidating Trust, the Committee or any Person receiving property or distributions under the Plan, even if the Allowed Claim of such Claimant exceeds the maximum estimation of such Claim. THUS, THE BANKRUPTCY COURT’S ESTIMATION OF A DISPUTED CLAIM WILL LIMIT THE DISTRIBUTION TO BE MADE THEREON, REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT FINALLY ALLOWED ON ACCOUNT OF SUCH CLAIM. All interest, dividends, and profits earned in the Disputed Claims Reserve Account shall be property of the Estate and shall accrue for the benefit of the Estate, and no holder of any Claim or any Disputed Claim shall have any rights in such interest, dividends, or profits, except as provided in the Plan.
C. Manner of Payment Under the Plan
     Any payments of Cash made by the Liquidating Trustee on account of Allowed Claims pursuant to the Plan may be made either by check or by wire transfer, at the option of the Liquidating Trustee, and drawn on or from the Plan Disbursement Account.
D. Delivery of Distributions and Undeliverable Distributions
     Distributions to holders of Allowed Claims under the Plan shall be made at the address of each such holder as set forth on the Schedules filed with the Bankruptcy Court, unless superseded by a new address as set forth (i) on a proof of claim filed by a holder of the Claim, (ii) in another writing notifying the Liquidating Trustee of a change of address prior to the Claim Distribution Record Date, or (iii) in a request for payment of an Administrative Expense Claim, as the case may be. If any holder’s distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such holder shall be made unless and until the Liquidating Trustee is notified of such holder’s then-current address, at which time all missed distributions shall be made to such holder, without interest.

-34-


 

     Except as provided in the Plan, any distribution of Cash under the Plan on account of an Allowed Claim that is undeliverable to the claimant’s last known address and which is unclaimed (“Unclaimed Property”) shall be deposited into the Disputed Claims Reserve Account to be held for the benefit of the holders of Allowed Claims entitled thereto under the terms of the Plan. Upon presentation of proper proof by a claimant entitled to such Unclaimed Property, the Unclaimed Property due the claimant shall be released from the Disputed Claims Reserve Account and paid to such claimant.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, one (1) year after the Unclaimed Property is initially distributed, claimants shall cease to be entitled to the Unclaimed Property in which they previously had an interest, and such Unclaimed Property shall then be transferred to the Plan Disbursement Account and distributed in the same manner as other Cash distributions, and the claimant to whom such Unclaimed Property was delivered shall forever be removed as the holder of an Allowed Claim against the Debtors or the Estate and shall receive no distributions under the Plan. Any distribution of New Common Stock under this Plan on account of an Allowed Claim that is undeliverable to the claimant’s last known address and which is unclaimed for one (1) year following the initial distribution shall be cancelled on the books and records of the Reorganized Debtor one (1) year after the New Common Stock is initially distributed under this Plan.
E. Interest on Claims
     Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, or required by applicable bankruptcy law, interest, fees, costs, and other charges accruing or incurred on or after the Petition Date shall not be paid on any Claim or Equity Interest. With respect to oversecured Claims (see 11 U.S.C. § 506(b)), post-petition interest shall accrue on such Claims at the applicable statutory or contractual non-default rate, as the case may be.
F. Compliance with Tax Requirements
     In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Liquidating Trustee in making Distributions under the Plan shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting

-35-


 

requirements imposed by any governmental unit, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. The Liquidating Trustee may withhold the entire distribution due to any holder of an Allowed Claim until such time as such holder provides the necessary information to comply with any withholding requirements of any governmental unit. Any property so withheld will then be paid by the Liquidating Trustee to the appropriate authority. If the holder of an Allowed Claim fails to provide the information necessary to comply with any withholding requirements of any governmental unit within six (6) months from the date of first notification to the holder of the need for such information or for the Cash necessary to comply with any applicable withholding requirements, then the holder’s distribution shall be treated as an undeliverable distribution in accordance with this Plan.
G. Allocation of Distributions
     Distributions to any holder of an Allowed Claim shall be allocated first to the original principal portion of any such Allowed Claim, and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds such amount, to the remainder of such Claim.
H. Fractional Distributions
     Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, payments of fractions of dollars shall not be made. Whenever any payment of a fraction of a dollar under the Plan would otherwise be called for, the actual payment made shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar (up or down), with half dollars being rounded up. No fractional shares of New Common Stock shall be issued and all fractional shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. Holders of Allowed Claims who would be entitled to fractional shares but for this provision shall receive no consideration therefor because such amount will be de minimis.
I. De Minimis Distributions
     No Cash payment of less than twenty dollars ($20.00) shall be made by the Liquidating Trustee to any holder of an Allowed Claim unless a request therefor is made in writing to the Liquidating Trustee. Any undistributed amount shall be held over to the

-36-


 

next distribution date, if any. No distribution of New Common Stock shall be made to any holder of an Allowed Claim of less than five hundred dollars ($500.00) as such distribution will be de minimis.
J. No Distributions On Account of Intercompany Claims
     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, there shall be no distributions on account of Intercompany Claims.
K. Investment of Cash
     The Liquidating Trustee shall invest and deposit Cash only in Allowed Investments and the Accounts referenced in the Plan and Liquidating Trust Agreement. Interest earned on any invested and deposited Cash shall not be payable to any particular Class or Claim, but shall be held generally as Cash of the Estate.
L. Claims Covered by Insurance
     Any Allowed Claim that has available as a source of payment either an insurance policy issued to the Debtors or the Liquidating Trustee or in which either the Debtors, the Liquidating Trustee or the Estate has any rights as named insured or beneficiary, including but not limited to general liability, workers compensation, and automobile insurance, shall receive distributions pursuant to this section. Nothing in the Plan modifies, limits, impairs, or otherwise affects the terms or provisions of any particular insurance policy, program, or agreement, or the nature and extent of coverage thereunder.
     1. Authorized Insurance Payments
          If an insurer stipulates that payment of an Allowed Claim will not affect coverage for other Claims that may be made under the same insurance policy (i.e., aggregate limits are sufficient to cover all such Claims), the claimant may receive payment from said insurer without further order of the Bankruptcy Court. If there is no such stipulation by the insurer (i.e., an aggregate limit may exist), the Liquidating Trustee shall use his best efforts to obtain an order from the Bankruptcy Court authorizing the insurer to exercise either of the following two (2) payment options:

-37-


 

          a. Option A: The insurer shall pay the amount of the Allowed Claim (up to the amount of policy limits) to the claimant if the Bankruptcy Court estimates that total Claims will not exceed the limits of the policy at issue and authorizes payment; or
          b. Option B: The insurer shall pay the amount of the Allowed Claim (up to the amount of the policy or bond limits) to the Estate for Pro Rata distribution to all holders of Allowed Claims whose Claims are insured by the particular insurance policy at issue. Upon said payment, all suits against the insurer based upon, arising out of, or related to the Claim for which payment was made shall be enjoined. The funds paid to the Estate under this section shall be deposited into a separate account, which shall be interest-bearing if possible, and held for payment of only those Allowed Claims that are covered by the insurance policy at issue; and distribution of funds in this account shall be made only when and on such terms as the Bankruptcy Court authorizes.
          c. The Liquidating Trustee or any holder of an Allowed Claim that is covered by an insurance policy may file a motion in the Bankruptcy Court for an order authorizing payment or distribution under this section, on notice to the claimant, the Committee, the Debtors, the Liquidating Trustee, the U.S. Trustee, parties requesting post-confirmation notice in accordance with Article XII of the Plan, the claimant, and the applicable insurance company.
     2. Exhaustion of Insurance
          Distributions on account of Allowed Claims shall be made first from the applicable insurance policies before any distribution is made on account of such Allowed Claims from the Cash in the Estate, including from the Disputed Claims Reserve Account. The Bankruptcy Court may provisionally determine or estimate that a Claim would be covered by an insurance policy, if and to the extent it were an Allowed Claim, in which event the Claim shall be provisionally disallowed and shall not receive any distributions from the Estate or the Disputed Claims Reserve Account pending a determination by an arbitrator, judge, or court of competent jurisdiction as to whether and to what extent such Claim is covered by the insurance policy. The distribution on account

-38-


 

of each such Allowed Claim shall be reduced by all payments that the holders of said Allowed Claim receives pursuant to any insurance policy.
     3. Coverage Denied
          a. If an insurer denies coverage of an Allowed Claim, then such Claim shall be treated the same as an Allowed Claim in accordance with the Plan.
          b. If the Estate, or the holder of an Allowed Claim, obtains a recovery from an insurer for an Allowed Claim for which coverage was earlier denied, then the recovery shall be treated the same as a payment on account of distributions made to holders of Allowed Claims in the same Class under this Plan. If the claimant has previously received a distribution of Cash from the Estate on account of its Allowed Claim, such distribution shall be credited against the distribution made on account of Allowed Claims in its Class and, to the extent that the insurance recovery plus the prior distribution exceeds the distribution on account of such Allowed Claim, said surplus shall be retained by the Estate or, if held by the claimant, turned over to the Estate.
     4. Calculation of Claim for Distributions
          In the event an Allowed Claim receives payment from an insurance policy and the holder thereof also seeks distributions of Cash from the Estate, then the aggregate of (a) all payments received on account of said Allowed Claim from any insurance, plus (b) distributions of Cash from the Estate on account of said Allowed Claim, shall not exceed (c) an amount equal to the Cash and New Common Stock said Allowed Claim would have been entitled to under this Plan.
VIII.
TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES
A. Approval of Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
     All executory contracts and unexpired leases that exist between the Debtors and any Person, whether or not previously listed by the Debtors on their respective Schedule G, shall be deemed rejected on the Effective Date, subject to sections 365(g) and 507(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, except for any executory contract or unexpired lease (a) that has

-39-


 

been assumed or rejected pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court entered prior to the Confirmation Date, or (b) as to which a motion for approval of the assumption of such contract or lease has been filed and served prior to the Confirmation Date. Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the approval, pursuant to section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, of the rejection of the executory contracts and unexpired leases rejected pursuant to the Plan.
B.   Bar Date for Filing Proofs of Claim Relating to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Rejected Pursuant to the Plan
     Claims arising out of the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease pursuant to the Plan must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court no later than thirty (30) days after the Confirmation Date. Any Claims not filed within such applicable time periods shall be forever barred from assertion and shall receive no Distributions under this Plan.
IX.
SETTLEMENT, EXCULPATION, INDEMNIFICATION AND RELEASES
A.   Exculpation of Plan Proponents and their Agents
     Neither the Debtors, the Committee, nor any of their respective members, officers, directors, employees, representatives, and agents (including, but not limited to any attorneys, advisors, investment bankers and other professionals retained by such Persons) shall have or will incur any liability to any holder of a Claim or Equity Interest for any act or omission in connection with, or arising out of the Chapter 11 Cases, the pursuit of confirmation of the Plan, the consummation of the Plan, the administration of the Plan, or the distribution of property under the Plan, except for liability based on willful misconduct as determined by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court. This provision shall not supercede the “safe harbor” from liability provided by section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.

-40-


 

B.   Indemnification
     The Estate shall indemnify all of its officers and directors in office on the Confirmation Date from and against any liability to the extent such liability is covered by any insurance policy in which such directors and officers are insured.
C.   Release of Parties Entitled to Indemnification and Exculpation
     All Creditors and Equity Interest holders who vote to accept the Plan shall be deemed to release the members, officers, directors, employees, representatives, and agents of the Debtors and the Committee (including, but not limited to any attorneys, advisors, investment bankers and other professionals retained by such Persons) with respect to all claims, rights and causes of action that could have been brought by or on behalf of such Creditors or Equity Interest holders, whether arising before, on or after the Petition Date, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, in law or in equity.
     In addition, the Debtors shall be deemed to release the members, officers, directors, employees, representatives, and agents of the Debtors and the Committee (including, but not limited to any attorneys, advisors, investment bankers and other professionals retained by such Persons) with respect to all claims, rights and causes of action that could have been brought by or on behalf of such Creditors or Equity Interest holders, whether arising before, on or after the Petition Date, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, in law or in equity, except for liability based on willful misconduct as determined by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court.
X.
EFFECT OF CONFIRMATION OF PLAN
A.   Binding Effect of the Plan
     The provisions of this Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement shall bind the Debtors, each Creditor, each Equity Interest holder, the Committee, the Liquidating Trustee, and any successor or assign, including a Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 trustee, whether or not the Claim or Equity Interest of such Person arose before or after the Petition Date or the Effective Date, whether or not the Claim or Equity Interest is Impaired

-41-


 

under the Plan, and whether or not such Person has accepted the Plan. Except as provided for in the Plan, all property of the Estate is free and clear of all liens, interests in such property, Claims and Equity Interests.
B.   Subordination of Claims
     Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to release the rights, if any, that the Debtors, the Estate, the Committee, the Liquidating Trustee, or any creditor may have to seek to subordinate any Claim pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code.
C.   Term of Bankruptcy Injunction or Stays
     All injunctions or stays provided for in the Chapter 11 Cases under sections 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise, and in existence on the Confirmation Date, shall remain in full force and effect until all property of the Estate and all Trust Assets have been distributed in accordance with the Plan and all other actions required by the Plan have been taken. Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, on and after the Effective Date, all Persons who have held, currently hold or may hold a Claim or an Equity Interest treated or provided for pursuant to the Plan are enjoined, until all Trust Assets have been distributed and the Liquidating Trust has been dissolved, from taking any of the following actions, without leave of the Bankruptcy Court, on account of such Claim or Equity Interest: (i) commencing or continuing, in any manner and in any place, any action or proceeding against the Debtors, the Estate, the Reorganized Debtor, the Liquidating Trust, the Liquidating Trustee, Professionals or the Committee; (ii) enforcing, attaching, collecting, or recovering in any manner any judgment, award, decree or other order against the Debtors, the Estate, the Liquidating Trust, the Reorganized Debtor, the Liquidating Trustee, Professionals or the Committee; (iii) creating, perfecting or enforcing any lien against property of the Estate or any Trust Asset; (iv) taking any action to obtain possession of property of the Estate or any Trust Asset or to obtain possession of property from the Estate or the Liquidating Trust or to exercise control over the Estate, property of the Estate, the Liquidating Trust or Trust Assets; and (v) commencing or

-42-


 

continuing any action or proceeding, in any manner and in any place, that does not comply with or is inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan; provided, however, that injunctions and stays provided under the Plan shall not affect or apply to (i) the filing and prosecution of requests for payment of Administrative Expense Claims in accordance with Article III.B.1.a of the Plan, (ii) adversary proceedings or Claims resolution proceedings commenced in or pending in the Bankruptcy Court, (iii) proceedings commenced in the Bankruptcy Court to enforce provisions of the Plan or with respect to disputes concerning payment of Post-Effective Date Administrative Fees and Expenses, (iv) proceedings pending in courts other than the Bankruptcy Court for the sole purpose of liquidating post-Petition Date Claims, (v) accepting any distributions made in accordance with the Plan or payments on Post-Effective Date Claims, and (vi) settling, adjusting, litigating, paying, or otherwise handling, processing, or administering claims under any insurance programs or policies of the Debtors.
D.   Discharge
     FVC will receive a discharge under this Plan pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code because FVC, following its anticipated Merger with U.S. Dry Cleaning, will survive as the Reorganized Debtor.
XI.
RETENTION OF JURISDICTION
A.   Scope of Jurisdiction
     Notwithstanding confirmation of the Plan or the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction over all matters arising out of, arising in, or related to the Chapter 11 Cases and the Plan to the fullest extent legally permissible, including, without limitation, for the following purposes:

     16. To enter such orders as may be appropriate in the event the Confirmation Order is for any reason stayed, revoked, modified, rescinded or vacated;

B.   Abstention
     If the Bankruptcy Court abstains from exercising, or declines to exercise, jurisdiction or is otherwise without jurisdiction over any matter arising out of the Chapter 11 Cases, including the matters set forth in this Article, this Article shall have no effect upon and shall not control, prohibit, or limit the exercise of jurisdiction by any other court having competent jurisdiction with respect to such matter.
XII.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
A.   Modification/Amendment of Plan and Liquidating Trust
     The Plan Proponents may modify the Plan at any time before the Confirmation Date. However, the Court may require a new disclosure statement and/or re-voting on the Plan if the Plan Proponents modify the Plan before confirmation.
     The Plan Proponents may also seek to modify the Plan at any time after confirmation if (1) the Plan has not been substantially consummated, and (2) the Court authorizes the proposed modifications after notice and a hearing.
     The Liquidating Trust Agreement shall not be amended without the consent of the Plan Proponents or a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court.
B.   Withdrawal or Revocation.
     The Plan Proponents may withdraw or revoke the Plan at any time prior to the Confirmation Date. If the Plan Proponents revoke or withdraw the Plan prior to the Confirmation Date, or if the Confirmation Date does not occur, then the Plan shall be deemed null and void.

-47-


 

confirmation, that party must make a written request to the Liquidating Trustee and the Committee. Any notice to any holder of a Claim or Equity Interest shall be given at the address set forth in its Proof of Claim or Interest filed with the Bankruptcy Court, or if none, at the address set forth in the Schedules.
     Notice shall be deemed given upon the earlier of (1) if notice is given by facsimile transmission or by overnight delivery service, the first business day after transmissions of facsimile or deposit with the delivery service, (2) if notice is mailed, the third calendar day after deposit in the United States Mail, first class postage prepaid, or (3) if notice is given by electronic mail, the day such transmission is received provided that a hardcopy of the notice is also sent by regular first class mail on the same day.
     Any Person may change the address at which such Person is to receive notices under the Plan by sending written notice, pursuant to the provisions of this section, to the Liquidating Trustee and the Committee, and by filing such notice with the Bankruptcy Court.
E.   Representation of the Debtors
     Upon the Effective Date, the representation of the Debtors by general bankruptcy counsel whose retention was approved by this Court shall terminate and their withdrawal as counsel of record for the Debtors shall be deemed approved by the Court.
F.   Successors and Assigns
     The rights, benefits and obligations of any Person named or referred to in this Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any heir, executor, administrator, successor, or assignee of such Person.
G.   Severability
     In the event that the Bankruptcy Court determines, prior to the Confirmation Date, that any provision of the Plan is invalid, void or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court shall, with the consent of the Plan Proponents, 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

-48-


 

unenforceable, and such term or provision shall then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated by such holding, alteration or interpretation. The Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated by such holding, alteration or interpretation. The Confirmation Order shall 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.
H.   Governing Law
     Except to the extent the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules are applicable, the rights and obligations arising under the Plan shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
I.   Headings
     Headings are used in the Plan for convenience and reference only, and shall not constitute a part of the Plan for any other purpose.
J.   Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday.
     If any payment or act under the Plan is required to be made or performed on a date that is not a Business Day, then the making of such payment or the performance of such act may be completed on the next succeeding Business Day in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 9006(a), but such payment or act shall be deemed to have been completed as of the required date.
K.   Incorporation of Liquidating Trust Agreement and Exhibits.
     The Liquidating Trust Agreement is essential to and constitutes a material and integral part of this Plan. As such, the Liquidating Trust Agreement is hereby incorporated into this Plan in its entirety by this reference as if set forth in full. All exhibits

-49-


 

to the Plan are also hereby incorporated into and are a part of the Plan as if fully set forth herein.
L.   Post-Confirmation Status Report.
     Within 120 days of the entry of the order confirming the Plan, the Liquidating Trustee shall file a status report with the Bankruptcy Court explaining what progress has been made toward consummation of the confirmed Plan. The status report shall be served on the Debtor’s Counsel, the Committee’s Counsel, the U.S. Trustee, and those parties who have requested post-confirmation notice. Further status reports shall be filed every 120 days and served on the same entities.
M.   Post-Confirmation Conversion/Dismissal
     A Creditor or other party in interest may bring a motion to convert or dismiss the case under § 1112(b), after the Plan is confirmed, if there is a default in performing the Plan. If the Bankruptcy Court orders the case converted to Chapter 7 after the Plan is confirmed, then all property that had been property of the Estate or the Liquidating Trust, and that has not been disbursed pursuant to the Plan, will revest in the Chapter 7 estate, and the automatic stay will be reimposed upon the revested property only to the extent that relief from stay was not previously granted by the Bankruptcy Court during this case.
N.   Supremacy Clause
     If any conflict exists between the terms of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement, the terms of the Plan shall control.
O.   Final Decree
     Once the Estate has been fully administered as referred to in Bankruptcy Rule 3022, the Liquidating Trustee, the Committee or other party as the Court shall designate

-50-


 

in the Confirmation Order, shall file a motion with the Court to obtain a final decree closing the Chapter 11 Cases.
