50
or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the intentional fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Disbursing Agent Indemnitee. No holder of a Claim or Interest or other party in interest shall have or pursue any claim or Cause of Action against any Disbursing Agent, solely in its capacity as such, for making payments in accordance with the Plan or for implementing provisions of the Plan, except for actions or omissions to act arising out of the intentional fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Disbursing Agent.

The Senior Notes Indenture Trustee may transfer or direct the transfer of distributions directly through the facilities of DTC (whether by means of book-entry exchange, free delivery, or otherwise) and will be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes under the Plan with Holders of Senior Notes Claims to the extent consistent with the customary practices of DTC. Regardless of whether such distributions are made by the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee, or by any other Disbursing Agent at the reasonable direction of the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee, such distributions shall be subject in all respects to the right of the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee to maintain, enforce, and exercise the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee Charging Lien against such distributions on account of the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee Fees and Expenses in excess of the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee
(d) The Debtors hereby request that the First Lien Administrative Agents act, and designate the First Lien Administrative Agents to act, as Disbursing Agents solely in respect of Cash distributions pertaining to the Discrete Asset Sale Proceeds to be distributed on account of the applicable First Lien Credit Agreementon or around the Effective Date.

6.7 No Postpetition Interest on Claims.
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or another order of the
6.8 Delivery of Distributions.
(a) In the event that any distribution to any holder is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions shall be made to such holder unless and until such Disbursing Agent is notified in writing of such holder's then-current address, at which time all currently-due, missed distributions shall be made to such holder as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, without interest. Nothing herein shall require the Disbursing Agent to attempt to locate holders of undeliverable distributions and, if located, assist such holders in complying with Section 6.19 of the Plan.
(b) Distributions of New Equity Interests or the GUC Warrants to be held through DTC shall be made through the facilities of DTC in accordance with DTC's customary practices. All New Equity Interests or GUC Warrants to be distributed pursuant to the Plan shall be issued in the names of such holders, their nominees of record, or their permitted designees as of the Distribution Record Date (i.e., the Effective Date) in accordance with DTC's book-entry procedures, to the extent applicable; providedthat such New Equity Interests or GUC Warrants are permitted to be held through DTC's book-entry system; provided, further, that to the extent that the New Equity Interests or GUC Warrants are not eligible for distribution in accordance with DTC's customary practices, the Reorganized Debtors will take such reasonable actions as may be required to cause distributions of the New Equity Interests or GUC Warrants under the Plan. No distributions will be made other than through DTC if the New Equity Interests or GUC Warrants are permitted to be held through DTC's book entry system. Any distribution that otherwise would be made to any holder eligible to receive a distribution of a security available solely through DTC who does not own or hold an account eligible to receive a distribution through DTC on a relevant distribution date shall be forfeited. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall seek the cooperation of DTC in an attempt to ensure that any distribution on account of a Senior Notes Claim, as applicable, that is held in the name of, or by a nominee of, DTC, shall be made through the facilities of DTC on the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter.
52
6.9 Distributions after Effective Date.
Distributions made after the Effective Date to holders of Disputed Claims that are not Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date but which later become Allowed Claims shall be deemed to have been made on the Effective Date.
6.10 Unclaimed Property.
Undeliverable distributions or unclaimed distributions shall remain in the possession of the Reorganized Debtors until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable or the holder accepts distribution, or such distribution reverts back to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and shall not be supplemented with any interest, dividends, or other accruals of any kind. Such distributions shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code at the expiration of one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of distribution. After such date, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, all unclaimed property or interest in property shall revert to the applicable Reorganized Debtors and the Claim of any other holder to such property or interest in property shall be discharged and forever barred, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary.
6.11 Time Bar to Cash Payments.
Checks issued by the Disbursing Agent in respect of Allowed Claims shall be null and void if not negotiated within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of issuance thereof. Thereafter, the amount represented by such voided check shall irrevocably revert to the Reorganized Debtors, and any Claim in respect of such voided check shall be discharged and forever barred, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. Requests for re-issuance of any check within one hundred eighty (180) days after issuance shall be made to the Disbursing Agent by the holder of the Allowed Claim to whom such check was originally issued.
6.12 Manner of Payment under Plan.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, at the option of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, any Cash payment to be made hereunder may be made by a check or wire transfer or as otherwise required or provided in applicable agreements or customary practices of the Debtors.
6.13 Satisfaction of Claims.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, any distributions and deliveries to be made on account of Allowed Claims under and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan shall be in complete and final satisfaction, settlement, and discharge of and exchange for such Allowed Claims.
53
6.14 Fractional Stock and Notes.
No fractional New Equity Interests or GUC Warrants shall be distributed, and no Cash shall be distributed in lieu of such fractional amounts. If any distributions of New Equity Interests or GUC Warrants pursuant to the Plan would result in the issuance of a fractional share or equity interest of a New Equity Interest or fractional share of a GUC Warrant, then the number of shares or equity interests of New Equity Interests or number of GUC Warrants to be issued in respect of such distribution will be calculated to one decimal place and rounded up or down to the closest whole share, equity interest or warrant (with a half share, equity interest or warrant or greater rounded up and less than a half share, equity interest or warrant rounded down). The total number of shares or equity interests of New Equity Interests or GUC Warrants, as applicable, to be distributed in connection with the Plan shall be adjusted as necessary to account for the rounding provided for in this Section 6.14. No consideration shall be provided in lieu of fractional shares or equity interests that are rounded down. Neither the Reorganized Debtors nor the Disbursing Agent shall have any obligation to make a distribution that is less than (1) share or equity interest of New Equity Interests or less than (1) GUC Warrant. Any New Equity Interest or GUC Warrant that is not distributed in accordance with this Section 6.14 shall be returned to, and ownership thereof shall vest in, Reorganized Parent.
6.15 Minimum Cash Distributions.
The Disbursing Agent shall not be required to make any distribution of Cash less than
6.16 Setoffs and Recoupments.
Except as expressly provided in a separate order of the
6.17 Allocation of Distributions between Principal and Interest.
Except as otherwise required by law (as reasonably determined by the Debtors or the applicable Reorganized Debtors), distributions with respect to Allowed Claims shall be allocated first to the principal portion of such Allowed Claim (as determined for federal income tax purposes) and, thereafter, to the remaining portion of such Allowed Claim, if any.
6.18 No Distribution in Excess of Amount of Allowed Claim.
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no holder of an Allowed Claim shall receive, on account of such Allowed Claim, distributions under the Plan in excess of the Allowed amount of such Claim.
54
6.19 Withholding and Reporting Requirements.
(a) Withholding Rights. In connection with the Plan, any party issuing any instrument or making any distribution described in the Plan shall comply with all applicable withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, or local taxing authority, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan and all related agreements shall be subject to any such withholding or reporting requirements. In the case of a non-Cash distribution that is subject to withholding, the distributing party may withhold an appropriate portion of such distributed property and either (i) sell such withheld property to generate Cash necessary to pay over the withholding tax (or reimburse the distributing party for any advance payment of the withholding tax), or (ii) pay the withholding tax using its own funds and retain such withheld property. Any amounts withheld pursuant to the preceding sentence, and paid over to the applicable Governmental Unit, shall be deemed to have been distributed to and received by the applicable recipient for all purposes of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each holder of an Allowed Claim or any other Entity that receives a distribution pursuant to the Plan shall have responsibility for any taxes imposed by any Governmental Unit, including income, withholding, and other taxes, on account of such distribution. In the event any party issues any instrument or makes any non-Cash distribution pursuant to the Plan that is subject to withholding tax and such issuing or distributing party has not sold such withheld property to generate Cash to pay the withholding tax or paid the withholding tax using its own funds and retains such withheld property as described above, such issuing or distributing party has the right, but not the obligation, to not make a distribution until such holder has made arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such issuing or disbursing party for payment of any such tax obligations.
(b) Forms. Any party entitled to receive any property as an issuance or distribution under the Plan shall, upon request, deliver to the Disbursing Agent or such other Entity designated by the Reorganized Debtors (which Entity shall subsequently deliver to the Disbursing Agent any applicable

At least twenty-one (21) days before the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors shall serve a notice on parties to executory contracts or unexpired leases to be assumed reflecting the Debtors' intention to assume the contract or lease in connection with the Plan and, where applicable, setting forth the proposed Cure Amount (if any). Any objection by a counterparty to an executory contract or unexpired lease to the proposed assumption, assumption and assignment, or related Cure Amount must be filed, served, and actually received by the Debtors within ten (10)days of the service of the assumption notice, or such shorter period as agreed to by the parties or authorized by the

(e) Assumption or assumption and assignment of any executory contract or unexpired lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Claims against any Debtor or defaults by any Debtor, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any assumed executory contract or unexpired lease at any time before the date that the Debtors assume or assume and assign such executory contract or unexpired Lease.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all obligations of the Debtors pursuant to their corporate charters, bylaws, limited liability company agreements, memorandum and articles of association, or other organizational documents or agreements to indemnify officers, directors, agents or employees, in each case solely in their capacity as such, employed by the Debtors on and/or after the Petition Date with respect to all present and future actions, suits, and proceedings against the Debtors or such officers, directors, agents, or employees based upon any act or omission for or on behalf of the Debtors (collectively, the "Indemnification Obligations") shall not be discharged, impaired, or otherwise affected by the Plan; provided, that, the Debtors or the applicable Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall not indemnify any such officers, directors, agents, or employees of the Debtors for any Claims or Causes of Action arising out of or relating to any act or omission for which indemnification is barred under applicable law or that is excluded under the terms of the foregoing organizational documents or applicable agreements governing the Debtors' Indemnification Obligations. The Reorganized Debtors shall not indemnify any persons for any claims or Causes of Action arising out of or relating to any act or omission that is a criminal act or constitutes intentional fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, all such Indemnification Obligations shall be deemed and treated as executory contracts that are assumed by the Debtors under the Plan.
8.5 Insurance Policies.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, all insurance policies to which any Debtor is a party as of the Effective Date (including any "tail policy") shall be deemed to be and treated as executory contracts and shall be assumed by the Reorganized Debtors, shall remain in full force and effect thereafter and shall continue as obligations of the Reorganized Debtors in accordance with their respective terms, and all such insurance policies shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors. Coverage for defense and indemnity under each D&O Policy shall remain available to all individuals within the definition of "Insured Persons" in any D&O Policy.
(b) After the Effective Date, all officers, directors, agents, or employees who served in such capacity at any time before the Effective Date shall be entitled to the full benefits of any D&O Policy (including any "tail" policy) for the full term of such policy regardless of whether such officers, directors, agents, and/or employees remain in such positions after the Effective Date, in each case, to the extent set forth in such policies.
(c) In addition, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall not terminate or otherwise reduce the coverage under any D&O Policy (including any "tail policy") in effect as of the Petition Date.
(d) In the event that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, in their sole discretion, determine that an Allowed Claim is covered in full or in part under one of the Debtors' insurance policies, no distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of such Allowed Claim unless and until, and solely to the extent that, (i) the Holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to such insurance policy, or (ii) an insurer authorized to issue a coverage position under such insurance policy, or the agent of such insurer, issues a formal determination, which the Debtors in their sole discretion do not contest, that coverage under such insurance policy is excluded or otherwise unavailable for losses arising from such Allowed Claim. To the extent
60
that one or more of the Debtors' insurers agrees to satisfy in full or in part an Allowed Claim, then immediately upon such insurers' agreement, the applicable portion of such Allowed Claim may be expunged without a Claim objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the
8.6 Treatment of Surety Bond Agreements.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, Plan Supplement, Confirmation Order or any other Order of the
61

8.7 Intellectual Property Licenses and Agreements.
All intellectual property contracts, licenses, royalties, or other similar agreements to which the Debtors have any rights or obligations in effect as of the date of the Confirmation Order shall be deemed and treated as executory contracts pursuant to the Plan and shall be assumed, or assumed and assigned, by the respective Debtors and shall continue in full force and effect unless any such intellectual property contract, license, royalty, or other similar agreement otherwise is specifically rejected pursuant to a separate order of the
8.8 Assignment.
To the extent provided under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law, any executory contract or unexpired lease assumed and assigned hereunder (including, without limitation, in connection with a Discrete Asset Sale) shall remain in full force and effect for the benefit of the transferee or assignee in accordance with its terms, notwithstanding any provision in such executory contract or unexpired lease (including those of the type set forth in section 365(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code) that prohibits, restricts, or conditions such transfer or assignment. To the extent provided under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law, any provision that prohibits, restricts, or conditions the assignment or transfer of any such executory contract or unexpired lease or that terminates or modifies such executory contract or unexpired lease or allows the counterparty to such executory contract or unexpired lease to terminate, modify, recapture, impose any penalty, condition renewal or extension, or modify any term or condition upon any such transfer and assignment, constitutes an unenforceable anti-assignment provision and is void and of no force or effect.
8.9 Reservation of Rights.
(a) The Debtors may amend the Assumption Schedule and the Rejection Schedule, subject to the reasonable consent of the Requisite Consenting Creditors, at any time prior to the conclusion of the Confirmation Hearing in order to add, delete, or reclassify any executory contract or unexpired lease. The Debtors shall provide notice of such amendment to any affected counterparty as soon as reasonably practicable.
62
(b) Neither the exclusion nor the inclusion by the Debtors of any contract or lease on any exhibit, schedule, or other annex to the Plan or in the Plan Supplement, nor anything contained in the Plan, shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is or is not an executory contract or unexpired lease or that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors have any liability thereunder.
(c) Except as explicitly provided in the Plan, nothing herein shall waive, excuse, limit, diminish, or otherwise alter any of the defenses, claims, Causes of Action, or other rights of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors under any executory or non-executory contract or unexpired or expired lease.
(d) Nothing in the Plan shall increase, augment, or add to any of the duties, obligations, responsibilities, or liabilities of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, under any executory or non-executory contract or unexpired or expired lease.
8.10 Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements, or Other Agreements.
Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, each executory contract or unexpired lease that is assumed shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements that in any manner affect such executory contract or unexpired lease, and executory contracts and unexpired leases related thereto, if any, including easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated under the Plan.
