In the event that all Allowed General Unsecured Claims in Class 5 are paid in full in accordance with the Plan, such pro-rata residual share from the Litigation Fund as between the Class 7 Equity Interests in XC and the Al Mesnad Group claim, will be determined by agreement between the Al Mesnad Group and the equity representative on the Steering Committee, or failing such agreement, will be determined by the Court. Class 9 is impaired by the Plan and is deemed to reject the Plan, and consequently, is not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the ERC New Credit Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the ERC New Credit Agreement will govern.

5.2. The Litigation Fund.

(a) On the Effective Date, the Litigation Fund shall be established as a segregated Reorganized Xybernaut deposit account to receive any and all net proceeds of the Third Party Claims, after payment of all amounts due to any counsel bringing Third Party Claims on behalf of Reorganized Xybernaut. The Litigation Fund shall be administered by Reorganized Xybernaut pursuant to a Joint Litigation Agreement which shall set forth procedures in respect of the Third Party Claims, including without limitation, the following:

  (i)   Post-Confirmation Litigation Counsel will pursue Third Party Litigation on behalf of the Reorganized Debtors and their respective successors and assigns in accordance with the engagement agreement between the Debtors and Post-Confirmation Litigation Counsel as approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Other Third Party Claims may be pursued by either the Reorganized Debtors or, if the Reorganized Debtors decline to pursue any such Third Party Claim, the GUC Representative on behalf of Reorganized Xybernaut upon authorization by the Bankruptcy Court after notice to Reorganized Xybernaut and opportunity for a hearing, or upon written agreement by Reorganized Xybernaut and the filing of a certification with the Bankruptcy Court. Any out-of-pocket expenses incurred to pursue any Third Party Claims by or on behalf of the GUC Representative in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be payable from the GUC Distribution Fund and Reorganized Xybernaut shall have no liability or responsibility therefor. Other Third Party Claims may be pursued by counsel acceptable to ERC, the Reorganized Debtors and the Post-Effective Date Creditors’ Committee (the Hurson Firm may but need not serve as such counsel).

  (ii)   A steering committee for the Litigation Fund (the “Steering Committee”) shall be constituted on the Effective Date and shall consist of five (5) members, including one representative from each of (A) Reorganized Xybernaut, (B) ERC, (C) the holder of a Professional Fee Claim, (D) the Post-Effective Date Creditors Committee (its chair or the sole member being the designate) and (E) the last chair of the then dissolved Equity Committee.

  (iii)   Any proposed settlement of any Third Party Claims shall be communicated to the Steering Committee, and if all members of such Committee unanimously agree to any proposed settlement of the Third Party Claim, then any such settlement can be consummated without Bankruptcy Court approval. If there is majority but not unanimous consent to any such proposed settlement, then Bankruptcy Court approval of the proposed settlement, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, shall be required.

  (iv)   The Bankruptcy Court shall have the exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any dispute which may arise under the Joint Litigation Agreement.

(b) Any net proceeds of the Litigation Fund will be distributed by Reorganized Xybernaut as follows:

  (i)   First, to Reorganized Xybernaut (or the GUC Distribution Fund, as the case may be) in an amount to reimburse Reorganized Xybernaut (or the GUC Distribution Fund, as the case may be) for any and all costs or expenses incurred to support the litigation of the Third Party Claims, if any, plus 15% interest from the date incurred;

  (ii)   Second, when combined with any payments actually made to ERC outlined in section 5.3(c)(ii), to ERC to repay in full all obligations (including, without limitation, principal, interest, fees, expenses and premium) under the ERC New Loans;

  (iii)   Third, $1,750,000 to holders of Allowed Administrative Claims and/or Professional Fee Claims not otherwise paid, on a pro rata basis;

  (iv)   Fourth, (A) 50% of the next available proceeds from the Litigation Fund to ERC to satisfy the Class 3 DIP Facility Claim, and (B) the other 50% of the next available proceeds from the Litigation Fund pro rata to satisfy any remaining Allowed Administrative Claims and/or Professional Fee Claims until, together with payments from sale proceeds of the IP Assets, such Allowed Administrative Claims and Professional Fee Claims are paid in full;

  (v)   Fifth, to the GUC Distribution Fund until all Class 5 Allowed General Unsecured Claims are paid in full with interest as set forth in Section 4.5; and

  (vi)   Sixth, pro rata to holders of Class 7 Allowed Equity Interests in XC, net of all costs of such distributions.

(c) Except as provided in this section 5.2, Reorganized Xybernaut shall not create, permit or suffer to exist any liens, encumbrances, or other interests in the Litigation Fund.

5.3. The IP Assets.

(a) Reorganized Xybernaut shall continue to entertain and actively consider presented expressions of interest and/or bids for its IP Assets, which Reorganized Xybernaut may or may not pursue, in the exercise of its reasonable and good faith business judgment, and may determine to monetize the IP Assets, which may include one or more private sales, licensing agreements, or prosecution of infringement claims. ERC may not foreclose its interest on the IP Assets. All net proceeds from the sale or monetization of IP Assets after payment of all amounts due to investment bankers, if any, shall be administered by Reorganized Xybernaut as set forth in section 5.3 (c) below.

(b) Subject to the terms of any confidentiality restrictions imposed by any third party, Reorganized Xybernaut will provide prior written notice of any monetization transaction it intends to pursue with any entity to the GUC Representative (and thereby the Post-Effective Date Creditors’ Committee), and of any closing date and proposed purchase price in connection therewith. In addition, subject to the terms of any confidentiality restrictions imposed by any third party, Reorganized Xybernaut will respond to any reasonable inquiry from any holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim or Allowed Professional Fee Claim as to the status of any effort to sell or monetize the IP Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to consultation with the GUC Representative, any decision to pursue or not to pursue any expression of interest and/or bid for the IP Assets shall be made solely by Reorganized Xybernaut, in the exercise of its reasonable and good faith business judgment.

(c) Pursuant to the Global Settlement Order, LC Fund shall receive 2.5% of any gross proceeds realized from any sale of IP Assets, within one (1) year of the Confirmation Date that are in excess of $5 million and up to $10 million, and 3.5% of any gross sale proceeds in excess of $10 million. Subject thereto, any net proceeds of the sale or monetization of IP Assets will be distributed as follows:

  (i)   First, to Reorganized Xybernaut in an amount to reimburse Reorganized Xybernaut for any and all costs or expenses incurred to maintain or defend existing patents, and establishing pending patents, plus 15% interest;

  (ii)   Second, when combined with any payments actually made to ERC outlined in section 5.2(b)(ii), to ERC to repay in full all obligations (including, without limitation, principal, interest, fees, expenses and premium) under the ERC New Loans; and

  (iii)   Third, (A) 15% of the next available sale proceeds from the IP Assets pro rata to satisfy any remaining Allowed Administrative Claims and/or Professional Fee Claims until, together with payments from the Litigation Fund, such Allowed Administrative Claims and Professional Fee Claims paid are in full and (B) all other proceeds to Reorganized Xybernaut.

(d) Except as provided in this section 5.3, and except in favor of ERC with respect to the DIP Facility Claim and the ERC New Loans, and in favor of LC Fund with respect to the LC Fund Claim, Reorganized Xybernaut shall not create, permit, or suffer to exist any liens, encumbrances, charges or other interests in the IP Assets.

5.4. The GUC Subordinated Plan Note.

Reorganized Xybernaut shall execute an unsecured, five-year term, cash flow note in the maximum amount of $1 million in favor of the GUC Representative for payment to the GUC Distribution Fund (the “GUC Subordinated Plan Note”). The GUC Subordinated Plan Note can be redeemed by ERC or Reorganized Xybernaut to the GUC Representative at the address identified in the GUC Subordinated Plan Note at any time in the two year period after the Effective Date, for a total, one time cash payment in the amount of $65,000. The GUC Subordinated Plan Note shall be subordinate to payment in full of the Class 3 DIP Facility Claim and the claims arising from the ERC New Loans, other than the indebtedness owed to ERC arising under the ERC Revolving Credit Loan as may be modified or amended after the Effective Date; provided, however, that this ERC Revolving Credit Loan exception to the GUC Subordinated Plan Note subordination only applies as long as the ERC Revolving Credit Loan is not in default, is unaccelerated, and the ERC commitment thereunder has not terminated.

A copy of the GUC Subordinated Plan Note will be filed with the Plan Supplement and will set forth all of the terms and conditions thereunder. In the case of any inconsistency between this Section 5.4 and the GUC Subordinated Plan Note, the GUC Subordinated Plan Note shall govern.

5.5. Alternative Offers

ERC’s funding of the Plan and exchange of a portion of the DIP Facility Claim for the New Common Stock pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to alternative proposals for purchase of the New Common Stock and funding of the Plan. Other potential plan funders may submit alternative bids for Plan funding on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on November 22, 2006 (the “Bid Deadline”). The notice of hearing on the Disclosure Statement will include proposed bid procedures (the “Bid Procedures”) for submission of alternative proposals, which will be presented to the Bankruptcy Court for approval at the Disclosure Statement hearing. Alternative proposals, together with all supporting documentation, must be submitted by the Bid Deadline to counsel for the Debtors, the Creditors Committee and ERC, must comply with the Bid Procedures, and must provide for: (a) an irrevocable offer to purchase all of the New Common Equity for Cash in an amount equal to or greater than $1,000,000.00, which amount shall be deposited with the Debtors on or before the Bid Deadline, (b) an irrevocable offer to provide funding necessary to consummate the Plan, in the aggregate amount of $5,091.719.81 including (x) to repay the DIP Facility Claim in full in Cash in the estimated amount of $4,387,062.00 (assuming an Effective Date of December 1, 2006), or such greater or lesser amount necessary to satisfy the DIP Facility Claim on the Effective Date of the Plan (whether or not the Effective Date occurs on or after December 1, 2006), and (y) to fund the ERC New Loans to be provided to Reorganized Xybernaut pursuant to the Plan, on the same terms and conditions as provided in the Plan including, without limitation, the GUC Distribution Fund funding in at least the amount of $175,000.00, and the ERC New Credit Agreement, in at least the aggregate amount of $704,657.81, and (c) evidence of committed financing to perform the foregoing obligations (clauses (a) through (c) collectively, the “Minimum Bid”). Any such alternative proposal must be without due diligence or other qualification or contingencies, must be fully financed, must be accompanied by a current financial statement of the bidder (or if the bidder is a special purpose acquisition entity, the current financial statement of its equity sponsor), and must be capable of performance on an Effective Date projected to occur on or before December 1, 2006. Each alternative proposal must comply with the Bid Procedures.

If one or more Minimum Bids is received by the Bid Deadline, the Debtors will conduct an auction in compliance with the Bid Procedures. ERC may credit bid, pursuant to section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code, all or a portion of its debt, including the DIP Facility Claim and any amounts outstanding under the ERC New Loans, at the auction. If an investor other than ERC (the “Alternative Investor”) submits the highest and best bid at the auction (the “Winning Bid”), the Plan shall be amended to reflect the identity of the Alternative Investor, the assumption by the Alternative Investor of ERC’s obligation to provide the ERC New Loans under the Plan, the repayment in full of the DIP Facility Claim on the Effective Date, and the release of ERC from any and all obligations under the Plan. If the Alternative Investor subsequently defaults in consummating the Winning Bid, then the next highest and best qualified bidder shall be obligated to close on its bid, pay ERC in full in respect of its Class 3 DIP Facility Claim and any outstanding claims in respect of the ERC New Loans on or before the Effective Date, and provide Plan funding on terms no less favorable than the terms of the ERC New Loans. If ERC is the next highest and best qualified bidder, the New Common Equity will be issued to ERC and the Plan will be consummated on the Effective Date in accordance with its original terms as set forth herein.

  5.6.   Cancellation of Existing Securities and Agreements and Issuance of the New Common Stock to ERC.

On the Effective Date, all the agreements, instruments, and other documents evidencing the Claims or Equity Interests rights of any holder of a Claim or Equity Interest against the Debtors, any agreement obligating the Debtors to issue, transfer, or sell Equity Interests or any other capital stock of the Debtors shall be deemed cancelled and of no force or effect.

Reorganized Xybernaut shall issue all 1,000 shares of New Common Stock to ERC on the Effective Date; provided that no Alternative Investor prevails at an auction pursuant to Section 5.5 hereof. If an Alternative Investor prevails at an auction, pays Reorganized Xybernaut the amount of the Winning Bid on the Effective Date, and satisfies all terms and conditions of the Winning Bid, Reorganized Xybernaut shall issue all 1,000 shares of New Common Stock to the Alternate Investor. The New Common Stock shall have a par value of $1.00 per share. Reorganized Xybernaut shall be organized as a private corporation and terminate its registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

5.7. Substantive Consolidation.

The Estates of XC and XSI shall be deemed to be substantively consolidated for all purposes under this Plan. As a result of such substantive consolidation, (a) the assets and liabilities of XC and XSI shall be combined and all non-intercompany Allowed Claims shall be satisfied from the assets of a single consolidated Estate, and (b) all Claims against each Estate shall be deemed to be Claims against the consolidated Estates, any proof of Claim filed against one or more of the Debtors shall be deemed to be a single Claim filed against the consolidated Estates, and all duplicate proofs of Claim for the same Claim filed against more than one Debtor shall be deemed expunged. The substantive consolidation proposed herein shall not affect the obligation of each Debtor to pay quarterly fees to the Office of the United States Trustee until such time as the XSI Bankruptcy Case is closed or dismissed. This Plan will serve as, and will be deemed to be, a motion under sections 105 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code for entry of an order substantively consolidating the cases.

5.8. Merger

On the Effective Date, XSI will merge with and into XC, with XC being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, on the Effective Date, (a) the surviving corporation shall have all of the rights, privileges, immunities, and powers of a corporation under applicable state law, and shall be subject to all of the duties and liabilities of a corporation under applicable state law, (b) except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the surviving corporation shall possess all of the rights, privileges, immunities, licenses, and franchises, whether of a public or private nature, of XC and XSI; and all property, real, personal, and mixed, and all debts due on whatever account, including subscriptions to shares, and all other choses in action, and all and every other interest of or belonging to or due to XC or XSI shall be taken and deemed to be transferred to and vested in the surviving corporation without further act or deed, (c) except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the surviving corporation shall thenceforth be responsible for and liable for all liabilities and obligations of each of XC and XSI, all executory contracts assumed by XSI shall be deemed to be assigned to and assumed by XC, and, with respect to any claim existing or action or proceeding pending by or against either of the merging Debtors, the surviving corporation shall be deemed substituted for such Debtor for all such purposes, and (d) XC shall authorize and issue the New Common Stock as set forth in Section 5.6 of the Plan. With respect to the Merger, all requirements of applicable state law relating to mergers, including the requirement of approval by the board of directors and by the stockholders, shall be deemed satisfied; and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may file articles of merger with the appropriate governmental units, which shall entitle the surviving corporation to receive a certificate of merger; provided, however, that in no event may the issuance of a certificate of merger be conditioned on the payment of any prepetition fees or franchise taxes on terms other than those specifically set forth in the Plan, and such issuance shall not be delayed pending the satisfaction of the obligations of Reorganized Xybernaut under the Plan. Except as expressly provided otherwise in the Plan, the Merger shall in no way modify in any way the rights of holders of Claims and Equity interests under the Plan; nor shall the Merger create any liabilities against any of the Debtors that did not exist prior to the Effective Date or operate to create in favor of any Person any right against any of the Debtors that such Person did not have prior to the Effective Date.

5.9. Board of Directors.

(a) The Board of Directors of Reorganized Xybernaut as of the Effective Date will be identified in the Plan Supplement.

The Amended Certificate of Incorporation shall prohibit the issuance of nonvoting equity securities, as required by section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, subject to further amendment as permitted by applicable law. The Amended Certificate of Incorporation and Amended Bylaws shall be deemed adopted by the Board of Directors of Reorganized Xybernaut as of the Effective Date, and such corporate action shall be authorized and approved in all respects without further action under applicable law, regulation, order or rule, including any action by the shareholders or directors of the Debtors or Reorganized Xybernaut. On the Effective Date, the approval and effectiveness of matters provided under the Plan involving the corporate structure of Reorganized Xybernaut or any corporate action taken by or required of the Debtor or Reorganized Xybernaut shall be deemed to have occurred, be authorized and approved and shall be in effect from and after the Effective Date without requiring further action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule, including any action by the shareholders or directors of the Debtors or Reorganized Xybernaut.

5.11. Release of Liens.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or the Plan Documents, (i) each holder of: (a) any Claim that is purportedly secured; and/or (b) any judgment, personal property or ad valorem tax, mechanics’ or similar lien Claim, in each case regardless of whether such Claim is an Allowed Claim, shall, on or immediately before the Effective Date and regardless of whether such Claim has been scheduled or proof of such Claim has been filed: (y) turn over and release to the Estates or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, any and all property of a Debtor or Estate that secures or purportedly secures such Claim, or such lien and/or Claim shall automatically, and without further action by the Debtors, the Estates or the Reorganized Debtors, be deemed released; and (z) execute such documents and instruments as the Reorganized Debtors require to evidence such Claim holder’s release of such property or lien, and if such holder refuses to execute appropriate documents or instruments, the Debtors, the Estates or the Reorganized Debtors (as applicable) may, in their discretion, file a copy of the Confirmation Order in the appropriate recording office, which shall serve to release any Claim holder’s rights in such property; and (ii) on the Effective Date, all right, title and interest in such property shall revert or be transferred to Reorganized Xybernaut, as applicable, free and clear of all Claims and interests, including, without limitation, liens, escrows, charges, pledges, encumbrances and/or security interests of any kind.

5.12. Exemption from Certain Transfer Taxes.

Pursuant to section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfers (i) from the Debtors to any Person pursuant to the Plan or (ii) from any other Person pursuant to the Plan, shall not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, stamp act, real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, or other similar tax or governmental assessment, and the Confirmation Order shall direct the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents to forego the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and to accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment.

SECTION 6.   DISTRIBUTIONS
6.1.
  Record Date.

As of the close of business on the Record Date, the official claims register maintained by the Debtors shall be deemed closed, and there shall be no further changes in the record holders of any of the Claims or Equity Interests. The Debtors shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of the Claims or Equity Interests occurring after the close of business on the Record Date. The Debtors shall be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes hereunder only with those record holders stated on the transfer ledgers as of the close of business on the Record Date, to the extent applicable.

6.2. Distributions for Allowed Claims.

Except with respect to General Unsecured Claims, and subject to the provisions of Section 7 of the Plan, all distributions on account of Allowed Claims shall be made by Reorganized Xybernaut from proceeds of the ERC New Loans, the Litigation Fund, and proceeds from any sale of IP Assets, in accordance with Sections 2, 4 and 5 of the Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 7 of the Plan, all distributions on account of Allowed General Unsecured Claims shall be made by the GUC Representative from the GUC Distribution Fund, in accordance with Sections 4.2, 5.2, 5.4 and 12.2 of the Plan and the GUC Subordinated Note in accordance with its terms.

6.3. Delivery of Distributions.

Subject to Bankruptcy Rule 9010, unless otherwise provided herein, all distributions to any holder of an Allowed Claim shall be made at the address of such holder as set forth on the Schedules filed with the Bankruptcy Court or on the books and records of the Debtors or their agents, unless the Debtors have been notified, in advance, in writing of a change of address, including, without limitation, by the filing of a proof of claim or interest by such holder that contains an address for such holder different from the address reflected on such Schedules for such holder. In the event that any distribution to any holder is returned as undeliverable, no distribution to such holder shall be made unless and until the Reorganized Debtors have been notified of the then current address of such holder, at which time or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter such distribution shall be made to such holder without interest; provided, that, such distributions shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code at the expiration of one (1) year from the later of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the date such holder’s Claim is Allowed. After such date, all unclaimed property or interest in property shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors, with the exception of distributions to holders of General Unsecured Claims, which if unclaimed, shall revert to the GUC Distribution Fund. Neither the GUC Representative nor the Reorganized Debtors shall have any obligation to attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed Claim other than by reviewing the Debtors’ books and records (including any proofs of claim filed against the Debtors). In the event that any net proceeds of the Litigation Fund become available for distribution to holders of Allowed Equity Interests pursuant to section 5.2(b)(vi) hereof, Reorganized Xybernaut shall publish notice of such proposed distribution(s) in accordance with publication procedures approved in the Confirmation Order which shall require, among other things, that such holders submit a request for payment, together with a current address and proof reasonably satisfactory to Reorganized Xybernaut that such holder held an Allowed Equity Interest as of the Record Date. In the event that Reorganized Xybernaut does not receive from a holder of an Equity Interest such request for payment, current address, and proof of Allowed Equity Interest by a deadline established by the procedures in the Confirmation Order, Reorganized Xybernaut shall have no obligation to make any distribution(s) from the Litigation Fund to such holder.

6.4. Withholding and Reporting Requirements.

In connection with the Plan and all distributions hereunder, Reorganized Xybernaut shall, to the extent applicable, comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, provincial, local or foreign taxing authority. All distributions hereunder shall be subject to the withholding and reporting requirements, and Reorganized Xybernaut shall be authorized to take all actions as may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such requirements.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, (i) each holder of an Allowed Claim that is to receive a distribution under the Plan shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligation imposed by any governmental authority, including income, withholding and other tax obligations on account of such distribution, and (ii) no distribution shall be made to, or on behalf of, such holder under the Plan unless and until such holder has made arrangements satisfactory to Reorganized Xybernaut for the payment and satisfaction of such tax obligations. Any distribution to be made under the Plan shall, pending the implementation of such arrangements, be treated as an undeliverable distribution pursuant to section 6.3 hereof.

6.5. Allocation of Plan Distributions Between Principal and Interest.

To the extent that any Allowed Claim entitled to a distribution under the Plan is comprised of indebtedness and accrued but unpaid interest thereon, such distribution shall, for the Debtors’ federal income tax purposes, be allocated on the Debtors’ books and records to the principal amount of the claim first and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claim, to accrued but unpaid interest.

6.6. Setoffs.

Reorganized Xybernaut may, but shall not be required to, set off against any Claim and the payments or other distributions to be made under the Plan on account of the Claim, Claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors or Reorganized Xybernaut had or may have against the holder thereof or that Reorganized Xybernaut received from the Debtors against the holder thereof, but neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any such Claim that the Debtors or Reorganized Xybernaut may have against such holder.

     
SECTION 7.   PROCEDURES FOR DISPUTED CLAIMS
7.1.
  Objections to Claims.

After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors and the GUC Representative shall be entitled to object to Claims. Unless otherwise extended by the Court, any objections to such Claims shall be served and filed on or before sixty (60) days after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any authority to the contrary, an objection to a Claim shall be deemed properly served on the claimant if the Debtors, Reorganized Xybernaut, or the GUC Representative effect service in any of the following manners: (a) in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4, as modified and made applicable by Bankruptcy Rule 7004; (b) to the extent counsel for a claimant is unknown, by first class mail, postage prepaid, on the signatory on the proof of claim or other representative identified in the proof of claim or any attachment thereto; or (c) by first class mail, postage prepaid, on any counsel that has appeared on the claimant’s behalf in the Reorganization Cases.

7.2. Payments and Distributions with Respect to Disputed Claims.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any portion of a Claim is a Disputed Claim, no payment or distribution provided hereunder shall be made on account of such Claim unless and until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. The GUC Representative shall establish reserves from the GUC Distribution Fund necessary to protect a holder of any Disputed General Unsecured Claim until such Disputed General Unsecured Claim is Allowed or Disallowed.

7.3. Distributions After Allowance.

After such time as a Disputed Claim becomes, in whole or in part, an Allowed Claim, the holder of such Allowed Claim shall be entitled to distributions, if any, to which such holder is then entitled under the Plan in accordance with the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no holder of an Allowed Claim shall receive any distribution of a value in excess of the Allowed amount of such Claim.

7.4. No Recourse.

Notwithstanding that the Allowed amount of any Disputed Claim is reconsidered under the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules or is Allowed in an amount for which after application of the payment priorities established by this Plan there is insufficient value to provide a recovery equal to that received by other holders of Allowed Claims in the respective Class, no Claim holder shall have recourse against the Debtors, the Creditors’ Committee, Reorganized Xybernaut, the GUC Representative, the Post-Effective Date Creditors’ Committee, the Steering Committee, the Equity Committee, ERC or any of their respective professional consultants, attorneys, advisors, officers, directors or members or their successors or assigns, or any of their respective property.

SECTION 8.   EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES
8.1.
  General Treatment.

All executory contracts and unexpired leases to which any of the Debtors are a party are hereby deemed rejected by the respective Debtors that are parties to such executory contracts and unexpired leases, except for any executory contracts or unexpired leases that (i) have been assumed pursuant to Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (ii) are designated as a contract or lease to be assumed on the Schedule of executory contracts to be assumed included in the Plan Supplement, as such Schedule of executory contracts to be assumed may be amended from time to time prior to the Effective Date, or (iii) are the subject of a separate motion to assume or reject filed under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date.

8.2. Cure of Defaults.

To the extent that any party objects to or disagrees with the nature or amount of any cure, then such party shall file an objection to the cure amount within twenty (20) days of the Effective Date and serve such objection on the Reorganized Debtors. If an objection is filed with respect to the cure amount is timely filed and served, the Bankruptcy Court will hold a hearing to determine the amount of the disputed cure amount, unless otherwise resolved by the parties.

8.3. Rejection Claims.

Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, in the event that the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease by any of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan results in damages to the other party or parties to such contract or lease, a Claim for such damages shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Reorganized Debtors, or their respective properties or interests in property as agents, successors, or assigns, unless a proof of claim has been filed and served upon counsel for the Reorganized Debtors on or before thirty (30) days after the Effective Date.

8.4. Change of Control Provisions

The entry of the Confirmation Order, consummation of the Plan and/or any other acts taken to implement the Plan shall not constitute a “change of control” under any provision of any contract, agreement or other document which provides for the occurrence of any event, the granting of any right, or any other change in the then existing relationship between the parties upon a “change of control” of the Debtors.

8.5. Retiree Benefits

Pursuant to the requirements of section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan provides for the continuation of payment by the Debtors of all “retiree benefits,” as defined in section 1114(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, if any, at previously established levels.

(b) ERC shall have received either (i) 100% of the New Common Stock of Reorganized Xybernaut or (ii) full payment in Cash of the DIP Facility Claim;

(c) all Plan Documents necessary to implement the Plan shall have been executed and shall be in full force and effect; and

(d) Allowed Administrative Expense Claims outside the ordinary course of business which must be paid on the Effective Date do not exceed an aggregate of $30,000.

9.3. Waiver of Conditions Precedent.

(a) The Debtors with ERC’s and the Creditor’s Committee’s written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) shall have the right to waive the conditions set forth in section 9.1 or 9.2 at any time without leave of or notice to the Bankruptcy Court and without any formal action other than proceeding with consummation of the Plan. Further, the stay of the Confirmation Order, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3020(e) shall be deemed waived by entry of the Confirmation Order.

(b) If the Debtors perform such a waiver and consummation, the Debtors’ waiver of this condition will benefit from the “mootness doctrine,” and the act of consummation of the Plan will foreclose any ability to challenge the Plan in court. The failure to satisfy or waive a condition may be asserted by the Debtors regardless of the circumstances that give rise to the failure of the condition to be satisfied (including, without limitation, any act, action, failure to act, or inaction by the Debtors). The failure of the Debtors to assert the non-satisfaction of any conditions will not be deemed a waiver of any other rights under the Plan, and each such right will be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted or waived at any time or from time to time.

     
SECTION 10.   EFFECT OF CONFIRMATION
10.1.
  Vesting of Assets.

On the Effective Date, pursuant to sections 1141(b) and (c) of the Bankruptcy Code, all property of the Estates shall vest in Reorganized Xybernaut, including all claims, rights and causes of action and any property acquired by the Debtors or Reorganized Xybernaut under or in connection with the Plan, free and clear of all Claims, liens, encumbrances, charges, and other interests, except as otherwise provided in the Plan and the Plan Documents. On and after the Effective Date, Reorganized Xybernaut may operate its businesses and may use, acquire, and dispose of property free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules and in all respects as if there were no pending cases under any chapter or provision of the Bankruptcy Code, except as provided herein.

10.2. Discharge of Claims and Termination of Equity Interests.

Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Confirmation Order, upon the Effective Date, the rights afforded in the Plan and the payments and distributions to be made hereunder shall discharge all existing debts and Claims, and terminate all Equity Interests of any kind, nature, or description whatsoever against or in the Debtors or any of their assets or properties to the fullest extent permitted by section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Confirmation Order, upon the Effective Date, all existing Claims against the Debtors and Equity Interests in the Debtors, shall be, and shall be deemed to be, discharged and terminated, and all holders of Claims and Equity Interests shall be precluded and enjoined from asserting against the Reorganized Debtors, or any of their assets or properties, any other or further Claim or Equity Interest based upon any act or omission, transaction, or other activity of any kind or nature that occurred prior to the Effective Date, whether or not such holder has filed a proof of claim or proof of equity interest.

10.3. Discharge of Debtors.

Upon the Effective Date and in consideration of the distributions to be made hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein, each holder (as well as any trustees and agents on behalf of each holder) of a Claim or Equity Interest and any affiliate of such holder shall be deemed to have forever waived, released, and discharged the Debtors, to the fullest extent permitted by section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, of and from any and all Claims, Equity Interests, rights, and liabilities that arose prior to the Effective Date, whether or not (a) a proof of Claim based on such Claim was filed or deemed filed under section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code, or such Claim was listed on the Schedules of the Debtors, (b) such Claim is or was Allowed under section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (c) the holder of such Claim has voted on or accepted the Plan. Except as specifically provided in the Plan to the contrary, the rights that are provided in the Plan shall be in complete satisfaction, discharge and release of all Claims against, Liens on, and Equity Interests in the Debtors and Reorganized Xybernaut or the assets and properties of the Debtors and Reorganized Xybernaut.

As of the Effective Date, except as provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, all Persons shall be precluded from asserting against the Debtors and Reorganized Xybernaut any other or further Claims, debts, rights, causes of action, liabilities or equity interests based on any act, omission, transaction or other activity of any nature that occurred prior to the Effective Date. In accordance with the foregoing, the Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of discharge of all liabilities to the Debtors, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, and any such discharge shall void any judgment obtained against the Debtors or Reorganized Xybernaut at any time, to the extent such judgment relates to a discharged Claim or terminated Equity Interest.

10.4. Term of Injunctions or Stays.

Unless otherwise provided herein, all injunctions or stays arising prior to the Confirmation Date in accordance with section 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise, and in existence on the Confirmation Date, shall remain in full force and effect until the Effective Date.

10.5. Injunction Against Interference With Plan.

Upon the entry of the Confirmation Order, all holders of Claims and Equity Interests and other parties in interest, along with their respective present or former affiliates, employees, agents, officers, directors, or principals, shall be enjoined from taking any actions to interfere with the implementation or consummation of the Plan.

10.6. Releases of ERC.

Upon the Effective Date and from and after the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, ERC and each of its current and former members, officers, directors, agents, financial advisors, attorneys, employees, affiliates and representative (collectively, the “ERC Releasees”), shall be released by the Debtors, Reorganized Xybernaut, each holder of a Claim (whether or not asserted or Allowed), each holder of an Equity Interest, and additionally each Person participating in distributions under the Plan (whether or not a holder of a Claim), and each of their respective current and former agents, financial advisors, attorneys, employees, equityholders, partners, affiliates and representatives (collectively, the “Releasors”), from any and all claims (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code), obligations, suits, judgments, damages, rights, causes of action and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereafter arising, in law or in equity or otherwise that any of the Releasors are entitled to assert against any of the ERC Releasees (or any of their respective predecessors, successors and assigns) based in whole or in part upon any act or omission, transaction, agreement, event or occurrence taking place on or before the Effective Date in any way relating to the Debtors, the Reorganization Cases, the DIP Facility Claim, or the Plan or Plan Documents; provided, however, that ERC shall not be released from its obligations under the Plan and the Plan Documents.

10.7. Exculpation.

Except with respect to obligations under the Plan, the Plan Documents, or the Confirmation Order, on and after the Effective Date, neither the Debtors, the Creditors’ Committee, the Equity Committee, ERC, nor any of their respective agents or professionals (with the exception of the Debtors’ former investment banker and consultant Intellectual Property Innovations, Inc.), as well as the Debtors’ employees, officers and directors who held such positions after the Commencement Date solely in their capacity as such, shall have or incur any liability to any holder of any Claim or Equity Interest for any act or omission after the Commencement Date, arising out of the Reorganization Cases, the confirmation of the Plan, the consummation of the Plan, or the administration of the Plan or property to be distributed pursuant to the Plan, except for willful misconduct, fraud, recklessness or gross negligence.

10.8. Release of Officers and Directors.

On the Effective Date, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors will automatically release and will be deemed to release any and all claims (including any claims arising out of any alleged fiduciary or other duty) that they have or may have against any of their officers and directors who held such positions after the Commencement Date in their capacities as such, arising or based upon any actions, conduct or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Date, excluding willful misconduct, fraud, recklessness, or gross negligence. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order approving the compromise, settlement and release of any and all such claims pursuant to section 1123(b)(3)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code. To the full extent permitted by applicable law, each holder of a Claim (whether or not Allowed) against or Equity Interest in a Debtor shall be enjoined from commencing or continuing any action, employment of process or act to collect, offset or recover and shall be deemed to release any Claim against such officers and directors occurring prior to the Effective Date, excluding willful misconduct, fraud, recklessness, or gross negligence.

10.9. Injunction.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Plan Documents or the Confirmation Order, as of the Confirmation Date, but subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, all Persons who have held, hold or may hold Claims against or Equity Interests in any of the Debtors or the Estates are, with respect to any such Claims or Interests, permanently enjoined from and after the Confirmation Date from: (i) commencing, conducting or continuing in any manner, directly or indirectly, any suit, action or other proceeding of any kind (including, without limitation, any proceeding in a judicial, arbitral, administrative or other forum) against or affecting the Debtors, the Estates or the Reorganized Debtors or any of their property, or any direct or indirect transferee of any property of, or direct or indirect successor in interest to, any of the foregoing Persons, or any property of any such transferee or successor; (ii) enforcing, levying, attaching (including, without limitation, any pre-judgment attachment), collecting or otherwise recovering by any manner or means, whether directly or indirectly, of any judgment, award, decree or order against the Debtors, the Estates or the Reorganized Debtors or any of their property, or any direct or indirect transferee of any property of, or direct or indirect successor in interest to, any of the foregoing Persons, or any property of any such transferee or successor; (iii) creating, perfecting or otherwise enforcing in any manner, directly or indirectly, any encumbrance of any kind against the Debtors, the Estates or the Reorganized Debtors or any of their property, or any direct or indirect transferee of any property of, or successor in interest to, any of the foregoing Persons; (iv) asserting any right of setoff, subrogation, or recoupment of any kind, directly or indirectly, against any obligation due the Debtors, the Estates or the Reorganized Debtors, any of their property, or any direct or indirect transferee of any property of, or successor in interest to, any of the foregoing Persons; and (v) acting or proceeding in any manner, in any place whatsoever, that does not conform to or comply with the provisions of the Plan to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

10.10. Retention of Causes of Action/Reservation of Rights.

(a) Except as specifically provided herein, nothing contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to be a waiver or the relinquishment of any rights, Claims, or causes of action that the Debtors, the Estates or the Reorganized Debtors may have or which the Reorganized Debtors or (subject to the Joint Litigation Agreement) the GUC Representative may choose to assert on behalf of the Estates in accordance with any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable nonbankruptcy law, including, without limitation, (i) any and all Claims against any Person to the extent such Person asserts a crossclaim, counterclaim, and/or Claim for setoff which seeks affirmative relief against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, their officers, directors, or representatives, (ii) the avoidance of any transfer by or obligation of the Estates or the Debtors or the recovery of the value of such transfer, or (iii) the turnover of any property of the Estates. All such rights, Claims and causes of action are retained by the Debtors, their Estates, and the Reorganized Debtors (as the case may be) for enforcement.

(b) Nothing contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to be a waiver or relinquishment of any claim, cause of action, right of setoff, or other legal or equitable defense that the Debtors had immediately prior to the Commencement Date, against or with respect to any Claim left unimpaired by the Plan. The Reorganized Debtors shall have, retain, reserve, and be entitled to assert (and upon authorization by the Bankruptcy Court, or as otherwise set forth in the Plan, the GUC Representative shall be entitled to assert on behalf of the Reorganized Debtors) all such claims, causes of action, rights of setoff, or other legal or equitable defenses which they or any of them had immediately prior to the Commencement Date fully as if the Reorganization Cases had not been commenced, and all legal and/or equitable rights of Reorganized Xybernaut respecting any Claim left unimpaired by the Plan may be asserted after the Confirmation Date to the same extent as if the Reorganization Cases had not been commenced.

10.11. Preservation of Insurance.

The discharge and release of the Debtors as provided in this Plan shall not diminish or impair the enforceability of any Insurance Policies that may cover Claims against any Debtor or other Person.

SECTION 11. RETENTION OF JURISDICTION

On and after the Effective Date, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction over all matters arising in, arising under, or related to the Reorganization Cases for, among other things, the following purposes:

(a) To hear and determine any disputes as to the amount or nature of cure payments for assumed executory contracts or unexpired leases and the allowance of Claims resulting from the rejection of executory contacts or unexpired leases.

(b) To determine any motion, adversary proceeding, avoidance action, application, contested matter, and other litigated matter pending on or commenced after the Confirmation Date, including without limitation, the Third Party Claims.

(c) To consider Claims or the allowance, classification, priority, compromise, estimation, or payment of any Claim, Administrative Expense Claim, or Equity Interest.

(d) To enter, implement, or enforce such orders as may be appropriate in the event the Confirmation Order is for any reason stayed, reversed, revoked, modified, or vacated.

(e) To issue injunctions, enter and implement other orders, and take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate to restrain interference by any person with the consummation, implementation, or enforcement of the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or any other order of the Bankruptcy Court.

(f) To hear and determine any application to modify the Plan in accordance with section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, to remedy any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or any order of the Bankruptcy Court, including the Confirmation Order, in such a manner as may be necessary to carry out the purposes and effects thereof.

(g) To hear and determine all Professional Fee Claims.

(h) To hear and determine disputes arising in connection with the interpretation, implementation, or enforcement of the Plan, the Confirmation Order, any transactions or payments contemplated hereby, or any agreement, instrument, or other document governing or relating to any of the foregoing, including without limitation, the Joint Litigation Agreement.

(i) To take any action and issue such orders as may be necessary to construe, enforce, implement, execute, and consummate the Plan, including any release or injunction provisions set forth herein, or to maintain the integrity of the Plan following consummation.

(j) To determine such other matters and for such other purposes as may be provided in the Confirmation Order.

(k) To hear and determine matters concerning state, local, and federal taxes in accordance with sections 346, 505, and 1146 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(l) To hear and determine any other matters related hereto and not inconsistent with the Bankruptcy Code and title 28 of the United States Code.

(m) To enter a final decree closing the Reorganization Cases.

(n) To recover all assets of the Debtors and property of the Estates, wherever located.

     
SECTION 12.   MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
12.1.
  Dissolution of Equity Committee.

The Equity Committee shall dissolve on the Effective Date, although one member of the Equity Committee may subsequently participate on the Steering Committee.

12.2. Post-Effective Date Creditors’ Committee: GUC Representative.

(a) The Post-Effective Date Creditors’ Committee is a reconstitution of the existing Creditors’ Committee and shall continue to employ its existing counsel. The Post-Effective Date Creditors’ Committee shall dissolve upon the final distribution from the GUC Distribution Fund by the GUC Representative.

(b) The GUC Representative shall report to the Post-Effective Date Creditors’ Committee and shall be subject to all duties and exercise all powers stated in the GUC Distribution Agreement. The GUC Representative may rely on advice from Post-Effective Date Creditors’ Committee counsel, but may retain other counsel in respect of Third Party Claims subject to the terms of the Joint Litigation Agreement. The GUC Representative’s duties shall be discharged upon the final distribution from the GUC Distribution Fund provided, however, the indemnity provisions of Section 12.2(e) shall survive and not be discharged. On the Effective Date, a $5,000 reserve shall be established in the GUC Distribution Fund for the GUC Representative’s distributional fees and expenses and the GUC Representative may charge the GUC Distribution Fund for any reasonable excess approved by the Post-Effective Date Creditors’ Committee.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Debtors, Reorganized Xybernaut nor ERC shall have any obligation for payment of any fees, costs or expenses of the GUC Representative, the Post-Effective Date Creditors’ Committee or any of their respective professionals. All such fees, costs and expenses shall be paid solely from the GUC Distribution Fund. This provision does not release or limit the obligation otherwise set forth in this Plan to fund the GUC Distribution Fund.

(d) The GUC Representative shall not have or incur any liability to any holder of a Class 5 Allowed General Unsecured Claim for any act or omission after the Effective Date arising out of the administration of the GUC Distribution Fund, except for willful misconduct, fraud, recklessness or gross negligence. Any such liability of the GUC Representative shall be limited to amount of the funds held in the GUC Distribution Fund.

(e) Reorganized Xybernaut shall be indemnified by the GUC Representative from and against any and all claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, rights, causes of action and liabilities arising from, relating to or in connection with any act or omission of the GUC Representative relating to or in respect of distributions from the GUC Distribution Fund; provided that the foregoing shall not release the obligations of the Reorganized Debtors to fund the GUC Distribution Fund pursuant to the Plan.

12.3. Substantial Consummation.

On the Effective Date, the Plan shall be deemed to be substantially consummated pursuant to sections 1101 and 1127(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

5

12.4. Amendments.

(a) Plan Modifications. The Plan may be amended, modified, or supplemented by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors with the reasonable consent of the Creditors’ Committee and ERC in the manner provided for by section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code or as otherwise permitted by law without additional disclosure pursuant to section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code, except as the Bankruptcy Court may otherwise direct. In addition, after the Confirmation Date, so long as such action does not materially and adversely affect the treatment of holders of Claims or Equity Interests pursuant to the Plan, the Debtors with the reasonable consent of the Creditors’ Committee and ERC may institute proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court to remedy any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistencies in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, with respect to such matters as may be necessary to carry out the purposes and effects of the Plan.

(b) Other Amendments. Prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors with the reasonable consent of the Creditors’ Committee and ERC may make appropriate technical adjustments and modifications to the Plan without further order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, provided that such technical adjustments and modifications do not adversely affect in a material way the treatment of holders of Claims or Equity Interests.

12.5. Revocation or Withdrawal of the Plan.

The Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan prior to the Effective Date. If the Debtors take such action, the Plan shall be deemed null and void.

12.6. Cramdown.

In the event a Class votes against the Plan, and the Plan is not withdrawn as provided above, the Debtors reserve the right to effect a “cram down” of the Plan pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent any Class is deemed to reject the Plan by virtue of the treatment provided to such Class, the Plan shall be “crammed down” on the claimants within such Class pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

12.7. Confirmation Order.

The Confirmation Order shall, and is hereby deemed to, ratify all transactions effected by the Debtors during the period commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the Confirmation Date except for any acts constituting willful misconduct, gross negligence, recklessness or fraud.

12.8. Severability.

If, prior to the entry of the Confirmation Order, any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court, at the request of the Debtors, shall 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 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 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 shall constitute a judicial determination and 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.

12.9. Governing Law.

Except to the extent that the Bankruptcy Code or other federal law is applicable, or to the extent any Plan Document provides otherwise, the rights, duties, and obligations arising under the Plan and the Plan Documents shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

12.10. Time.

In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by the Plan, unless otherwise set forth herein or determined by the Bankruptcy Court, the provisions of Bankruptcy Rule 9006 shall apply.

12.11. Notices.

All notices, requests, and demands to or upon the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors to be effective shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission) and, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when only actually delivered or, in the case of notice by facsimile transmission, when received and telephonically confirmed, addressed as follows:
