4


FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED, FOUND, ADJUDGED, DECREED, AND ORDERED THAT:

A.Findings and Conclusions.
1.The findings and conclusions set forth herein and on the record of the Combined Hearing constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law under Bankruptcy Rules 7052 and 9014.  To the extent any of the following findings of fact constitute conclusions of law, or vice versa, they are adopted as such.
B.Jurisdiction, Venue, and Core Proceeding.
2.The Bankruptcy Court has jurisdiction over these Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to section 1334 of title 28 of the United States Code.  The Bankruptcy Court has exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether the Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and should be confirmed.  Venue is proper in this district pursuant to sections 1408 and 1409 of title 28 of the United States Code.  Confirmation of the Plan is a core proceeding within the meaning of section 157(b)(2) of title 28 of the United States Code, and the Bankruptcy Court may enter a final order consistent with Article III of the United States Constitution.
C.Eligibility for Relief.
3.The Debtors were and are entities eligible for relief under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code.
D.Commencement and Joint Administration of These Chapter 11 Cases.
4.On the Petition Date, each Debtor commenced a chapter 11 case by filing a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.  By prior order of the Bankruptcy Court, these Chapter 11 Cases were consolidated for procedural purposes only and are being jointly administered pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1015 [Docket No. 36].  The Debtors have

5


operated their businesses and managed their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.  No official committee, trustee or examiner has been appointed in these Chapter 11 Cases.  
E.Pre-Petition Marketing and Good Faith.
5.In the events leading up to these Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors explored a variety of alternatives with the goal of maximizing the value of the Debtors’ Estates.  The Debtors’ officers, directors, financial advisors, attorneys, investment bankers and other professionals that were involved with the formulation, negotiation, documentation, and approval of the filing of these Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan, and the Transaction Support Agreement, and who pursued, analyzed, negotiated, and documented the transactions contemplated thereunder, acted in good faith and made informed decisions in connection therewith, including the decision to implement the Restructuring.  The Pre-Petition Secured Party, the NPA Collateral Agent, the DIP Purchaser, the DIP Agent and each of their respective partners, officers, directors, employees, advisors and professionals acted in good faith in negotiating, formulating and proposing, where applicable, the Plan and the Transaction Support Agreement, and the agreements, compromises, settlements, transactions and transfers contemplated thereby.
F.Notice.
6.Notice of the Plan and the Combined Hearing, together with the deadlines for voting to accept or reject the Plan as well as objecting to the Plan, has been provided in accordance with the Scheduling Order, as set forth in the Voting Declaration.
7.Such notice was appropriate and satisfactory based upon the facts and circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases and pursuant to sections 1125 and 1128 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 3017, 3018, and 3020, and other applicable law and rules.  Because such transmittal and service were adequate and sufficient, no other or further notice is necessary

6


or shall be required, and due, proper, timely, and adequate notice of the Combined Hearing has been provided in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and applicable non-bankruptcy law.
G.Solicitation.
8.Prior to the Petition Date, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, and the Ballot (collectively, the “Solicitation Package”) were transmitted and served in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, the Solicitation Procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court via the Scheduling Order, and all other applicable rules, laws, and regulations applicable to such solicitation.  Transmission and service of the Solicitation Package was timely, adequate and sufficient.  No further notice is required.
9.As set forth in the Voting Declaration, on September 27, 2023, prior to the Petition Date, the Solicitation Package was transmitted to and served on the eligible holders of Class 2 Pre-Petition Secured Claims, which was the only Class of Claims entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan (the “Voting Class”).
10.Each eligible holder of a Claim in the Voting Class received a Ballot.  The form of the Ballots adequately addressed the particular needs of these Chapter 11 Cases and was appropriate for the holders of Claims in the Voting Class.  The instructions on each Ballot advised that for the Ballot to be counted, the Ballot had to be properly executed, completed, and delivered to the Claims and Noticing Agent so that it was actually received by the Claims and Noticing Agent on or before the applicable Voting Deadline.  The period during which the Debtors solicited acceptance of the Plan was a reasonable period of time for holders of Claims in the Voting Class to make an informed decision to accept or reject the Plan.
11.The Debtors were not required to solicit votes from the holders of Claims in
Class 1 (Secured Tax Claims), Class 3 (Other Secured Claims), Class 4 (Other Priority Claims),

7


Class 5 (General Unsecured Claims) and Class 7 (Intercompany Interests), as well as certain holders of Claims in Class 6 (Intercompany Claims) (collectively, the “Unimpaired Classes”), as each such Class is Unimpaired under the Plan and thus presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code.  
12.The Debtors were not required to solicit votes from holders of Claims or Interests in Class 9 (Section 510(b) Claims) and certain holders of Claims in Class 6 (Intercompany Claims), as the holders of Claims or Interests in such Classes are Impaired and not entitled to receive distributions on account of their Claims or Interests under the Plan and, thus, are deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code.  
13.The Debtors were not required to solicit votes from holders of Interests in Class 8 (Equity Interests), as the holders of Interests in such Class (together with the holders of Claims or Interests in Class 9 and certain holders of Claims in Class 6, the “Deemed Rejecting Classes”) are deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code.
14.As described in and as evidenced by the Voting Declaration, the transmittal and service of the Solicitation Packages (all of the foregoing, the “Solicitation”) was timely, adequate, and sufficient under the circumstances and no other or further Solicitation was or shall be required.  The Solicitation complied with the Solicitation Procedures, was appropriate and satisfactory based upon the circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases, was conducted in good faith and was in compliance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, the Scheduling Order, and any other applicable rules, laws, and regulations.
H.Adequacy of the Disclosure Statement.
15.The Disclosure Statement (a) contains sufficient information of a kind necessary to satisfy the disclosure requirements of all applicable non-bankruptcy rules, laws, and regulations, including the Securities Act, and (b) contains “adequate information” (as such term is defined in

8


section 1125(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and used in section 1126(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code) with respect to the Debtors, the Plan, and the transactions contemplated therein.
I.Voting.
16.The Voting Declaration filed with the Bankruptcy Court certifies the method and results of the Ballots tabulated for the Voting Class.  As of the Voting Deadline, one-hundred percent (100%) in number and one-hundred percent (100%) in dollar amount of the holders of Claims in Class 2 (Pre-Petition Secured Claims) that timely voted, voted to accept the Plan, without counting the votes of any insider (as such term is defined in section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code).  As evidenced by the Voting Declaration, votes to accept or reject the Plan have been solicited and tabulated fairly, in good faith, and in a manner consistent with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Solicitation Procedures, and the Local Rules.
J.Plan Supplements.
17.On October 24, 2023, the Debtors filed the Plan Supplement, consisting of a valuation of the Reorganized Debtors, a schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, a schedule of Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, a description of Retained Causes of Action, and the identities of the officers and board members for New Subsidiary and Reorganized PublicCo [Docket No. 71].  On November 9, 2023, the Debtors filed the Amended Plan Supplement, consisting of a description of the Retained Assets and Retained Contracts, the identities of additional directors and officers of the Reorganized Debtors and Reorganized PrivateCo, certain organizational documents of the Reorganized Debtors, and a Trademark License Agreement.
18.All such materials comply with the terms of the Plan, and the filing and notice of the Plan Supplements was proper and in accordance with the Plan, the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and all applicable law and no other or further notice is or shall

9


be required.  All documents included in the Plan Supplements are integral to, part of, and incorporated by reference into the Plan as if set forth in full therein.
K.Modifications of the Plan.
19.Pursuant to and in compliance with section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019, the Debtors proposed certain modifications to the Plan as reflected herein, in the Plan Supplements, and/or in the Plan filed with the Bankruptcy Court prior to entry of this Confirmation Order (collectively, the “Plan Modifications”).  In accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3019, the Plan Modifications do not (a) constitute material modifications of the Plan under section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) cause the Plan to fail to meet the requirements of sections 1122 or 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, (c) materially and adversely change the treatment of any Claims, (d) require re-solicitation of any holders of any Claims or Interests, or (e) require that holders of Claims in the Voting Class be afforded an opportunity to change their previously cast acceptances of the Plan.  Under the circumstances, the form and manner of notice of the proposed Plan Modifications are adequate, and no other or further notice of the proposed Plan Modifications is necessary or required.  In accordance with section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019, all holders of Claims who voted to accept the Plan or who are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan are deemed to have accepted the Plan as modified by the Plan Modifications.  The holders of Claims in the Voting Class are not permitted to change their respective acceptances to rejections as a consequence of the Plan Modifications.
L.Burden of Proof: Confirmation of the Plan.
20.The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have met their burden of proving the applicable elements of sections 1129(a) and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code by a preponderance of the evidence, which is the applicable evidentiary standard for Confirmation.

10


M.Compliance with Bankruptcy Code Requirements: Section 1129(a)(1).
21.The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code as required by section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, including, more particularly:  
(i)Proper Classification: Sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1).
22.Article III of the Plan provides for the separate classification of Claims and Interests into nine Classes.  Valid business, factual, and legal reasons exist for the separate classification of such Classes of Claims and Interests.  The classifications reflect no improper purpose and do not unfairly discriminate between, or among, holders of Claims or Interests.  Each Class of Claims and Interests contains only Claims or Interests that are substantially similar to other Claims or Interests within that Class.  The Plan therefore satisfies sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(ii)Specified Unimpaired Classes: Section 1123(a)(2).
23.Article III of the Plan specifies that Claims in the following Classes are Unimpaired under the Plan, thereby satisfying section 1123(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code:

1

(iii)Specified Treatment of Impaired Classes: Section 1123(a)(3).
24.Article III of the Plan specifies that the Claims in the following Classes are Impaired under the Plan, and describes the treatment of such Classes, thereby satisfying section 1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code:

4

Holders of Class 6 Intercompany Claims are either Unimpaired and presumed to accept the Plan or Impaired and deemed to reject the Plan.

(iv)No Discrimination: Section 1123(a)(4).
25.Article III of the Plan provides for the same treatment by the Debtors for each Claim or Interest in each respective Class unless the holder of a particular Claim or Interest has agreed to a less favorable treatment of such Claim or Interest in accordance with the Plan, thereby satisfying section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(v)Adequate Means for Plan Implementation: Section 1123(a)(5).
26.The Plan, including the various documents and agreements in the Plan Supplements, provides adequate and proper means for implementation of the Plan, including, without limitation:  (a) the satisfaction of Claims and Interests; (b) the occurrence of transactions on or after the Effective Date to effect the Restructuring; (c) the creation and funding of the New Debt Facility; (d) the offering and issuance of certain securities pursuant to, among other things, section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code; (e) the vesting of assets in the Reorganized Debtors as described in the Plan; (f) the cancellation of notes, instruments, Certificates, and other documents; (g) the amendment of the charter and bylaws of the Reorganized Debtors and other corporate actions; (h) the assumption of Employment Obligations by Reorganized PublicCo and/or New Subsidiary, as applicable; (i) the preservation of Causes of Action; (j) the payment of the reasonable fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and financial advisors’ fees) of the Pre-Petition Secured Party in connection with the Restructuring; and (k) the reinstatement of Intercompany Claims against Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, or the discharge and satisfaction of such Intercompany Claims.

12


(vi)Voting Power of Equity Securities: Section 1123(a)(6).
27.The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.  To the extent required by section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Debtors’ certificates of incorporation shall include, among other things, provisions prohibiting the issuance of non-voting Equity Securities.
(vii)Designation of Directors and Officers: Section 1123(a)(7).
28.The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Section 4.13 of the Plan contains provisions regarding the manner of selection of the Reorganized Debtors’ directors and officers that are consistent with the interests of all holders of Claims and Interests and public policy.
(viii)Impairment / Unimpairment of Classes: Section 1123(b)(1).
29.The Plan is consistent with section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Specifically, Article III of the Plan impairs or leaves Unimpaired each Class of Claims and Interests.
(ix)Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases: Section 1123(b)(2).
30.The Plan is consistent with section 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Article V of the Plan provides for the assumption of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases on the Effective Date.  In accordance with the provisions of sections 365 and 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Plan Supplements, or this Confirmation Order, (i) no Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be assumed by Reorganized PrivateCo unless listed as “assumed” by Reorganized PrivateCo in the Plan Supplements, and (ii) each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease shall be deemed assumed by Capstone and/or the applicable Debtor counterparty (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt,

13


Reorganized PrivateCo) and assigned to Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, without the need for any further notice to, or action, order, or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court, as of the Effective Date under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless any such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease: (a) is a Retained Contract; (b) is listed on the Rejection Schedule; (c) has been previously assumed or rejected by the Debtors by Final Order or has been assumed or rejected by the Debtors by order of the Bankruptcy Court as of the Effective Date, which order becomes a Final Order after the Effective Date; or (d) is the subject of a motion to assume or reject pending as of the Effective Date.  Reorganized PrivateCo shall have no liability with respect to, relating to, or in connection with any of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, except with respect to Retained Contracts (if any).
(x)Compromise of Pre-Petition Secured Claims, Releases, Exculpation, Injunction, and Preservation of Claims and Causes of Action: Section 1123(b)(3).
31.The Plan is consistent with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. The compromise of the Pre-Petition Secured Party’s Claims and Interests relating to the contractual, subordination, and other legal rights that the Pre-Petition Secured Party may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or Interest, or any distribution to be made on account of such Allowed Claim or Interest, is made in good faith, is in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, and holders of Claims and Interests and is fair, equitable, and reasonable.  
32.Section 8.2 of the Plan describes certain releases granted by the Debtors and their Estates (the “Debtor Releases”).  The Debtors have satisfied the applicable standard in this district with respect to the propriety of the Debtor Releases.  For the reasons set forth on the record of these Chapter 11 Cases and the evidence proffered, admitted, or adduced at the Combined Hearing, such releases are a necessary and integral part of the Plan.  The Debtor Releases are “fair and equitable” and “in the best interests of the estate” and the holders of Claims and Interests.

14


33.Section 8.3 of the Plan describes certain releases granted by the Releasing Parties (the “Non-Debtor Releases”).  The Ballots sent to all holders of Claims in the Voting Class unambiguously stated that the Plan contains the Non-Debtor Releases and set forth the terms of the Non-Debtor Releases.  
34.The Non-Debtor Releases are (1) consensual and in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Released Parties; (2) a good faith compromise of the Claims and Causes of Action released by such releases; (3) in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates; (4) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (5) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; (6) an essential component of the Plan and the Restructuring; and (7) a bar to any of the Releasing Parties asserting any Claim or Cause of Action released pursuant to such releases.  
35.The exculpation, described in Section 8.4 of the Plan (the “Exculpation”), is appropriate under applicable law because it was proposed in good faith and is appropriately limited in scope.  The Exculpated Parties (to the extent applicable) have, and upon completion of the Plan shall be deemed to have, participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable laws with regard to the solicitation of, and distribution of, consideration pursuant to the Plan and, therefore, are not, and on account of such distributions shall not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or such distributions made pursuant to the Plan.
36.The injunction provision set forth in Section 8.5 of the Plan is necessary to implement, preserve, and prevent actions against the Debtors, the Exculpated Parties, or the Released Parties and by extension the compromises and settlements upon which the Plan is founded, and is narrowly tailored to achieve this purpose.

15


37.Section 4.15 of the Plan appropriately provides that in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, but subject in all respects to Article VIII of the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors will retain, and may enforce, all rights to commence and pursue, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, unless any such Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or by a Final Order.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in the Plan, pursuant to Section 4.6 of the Plan, any Causes of Action (except with respect to the Retained Assets) shall be assigned to and/or vest in Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary as determined by the Reorganized Debtors.
38.The release of all mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests against the property of the Estates described in Section 8.8 of the Plan (the “Lien Release”) is necessary to implement the Plan.
(xi)Modification of Rights: Section 1123(b)(5).
39.The Plan modifies the rights of holders of Claims or Interests, as applicable, in Class 2 (Pre-Petition Secured Claims), Class 6 (Intercompany Claims), Class 7 (Intercompany Interests), Class 8 (Equity Interests) and Class 9 (Section 510(b) Claims), as permitted by section 1123(b)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(xii)Additional Plan Provisions: Section 1123(b)(6).
40.The other discretionary provisions of the Plan are appropriate and consistent with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including provisions for (a) distributions to holders of Claims and Interests, (b) resolution of Disputed Claims, (c) allowance of certain Claims, and (d) retention of Court jurisdiction, thereby satisfying section 1123(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The failure to address any provisions of the Bankruptcy Code specifically in this Confirmation Order shall not diminish or impair the effectiveness of this Confirmation Order.

16


(xiii)Cure of Defaults: Section 1123(d).
41.The Debtors have cured, or provided adequate assurance that the Debtors will cure, defaults (if any) under or relating to each of the Executory Contracts that are being assumed and assigned pursuant to the Plan.  In addition, the Debtors, New Subsidiary and Reorganized PublicCo, as applicable, have provided adequate assurance of future performance under such Executory Contracts being assumed and assigned.
N.Debtor Compliance with the Bankruptcy Code: Section 1129(a)(2).
42.The Debtors have complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and, thus, satisfied the requirements of section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Specifically, each Debtor:
a.is an eligible debtor under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code, and a proper proponent of the Plan under section 1121(a) of the Bankruptcy Code;
b.has complied with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise provided or permitted by orders of the Bankruptcy Court; and
c.complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, any applicable non-bankruptcy law, rule and regulation, the Scheduling Order, and all other applicable law, in transmitting the Solicitation Packages and related documents and notices, and in soliciting and tabulating the votes on the Plan.
O.Plan Proposed in Good Faith: Section 1129(a)(3).
43.The Debtors have negotiated, developed, and proposed the Plan (including the Plan Supplements and all other documents and agreements necessary to effectuate the Plan) in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.  In so determining, the Bankruptcy Court has considered the facts and record of these Chapter 11 Cases, the Disclosure Statement, and the evidence proffered, admitted, or adduced at the Combined Hearing, and examined the totality of the circumstances surrounding the filing of these Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan, and the process leading to Confirmation.  The Chapter

17


11 Cases were filed, and the Plan was proposed, with the legitimate purpose of allowing the Debtors to implement the Restructuring, reorganize, and emerge from chapter 11 with a deleveraged capital structure.  The Plan (including all documents necessary to effectuate the Plan) and the Plan Supplements were negotiated in good faith and at arm’s length among the Debtors and their key stakeholders, including the Pre-Petition Secured Party, the NPA Collateral Agent, the DIP Purchaser, and the DIP Agent.  The Restructuring, as embodied in the Plan, was negotiated in good faith and at arm’s length and reflects the best possible outcome that could be reached given the facts and circumstances surrounding the Debtors and these Chapter 11 Cases.  Further, the Plan’s classification, indemnification, exculpation, release, and injunction provisions have been negotiated in good faith and at arm’s length, are consistent with sections 105, 1122, 1123(b)(3)(A), 1123(b)(6), 1129, and 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code, and are each integral to the Plan, and necessary for the Debtors’ successful implementation of the Plan.
P.Payment for Services or Costs and Expenses: Section 1129(a)(4).
44.The Debtors have satisfied section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Any payment made or to be made by the Debtors for services or for costs and expenses of the Debtors’ professionals in connection with these Chapter 11 Cases, or in connection with the Plan and incident to these Chapter 11 Cases, has been approved by, or is subject to the approval of, the Bankruptcy Court as reasonable.  All such costs and expenses of the Debtors’ professionals shall be paid in accordance with the Plan.
Q.Directors, Officers, and Insiders: Section 1129(a)(5).
45.The Debtors have complied with the requirements of section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.  From and after the Effective Date, each director or officer of the Reorganized Debtors shall serve pursuant to the terms of their charter and bylaws or other constituent documents, and applicable state law.  To the extent known, the Plan Supplements disclose, or will

18


disclose prior to the Effective Date, the identity and affiliations of the members of the board of directors of the Reorganized Debtors and any Person proposed to serve as an officer of the Reorganized Debtors.  
R.No Rate Changes: Section 1129(a)(6).
46.Section 1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code is not applicable to these Chapter 11 Cases.  The Plan proposes no rate change subject to the jurisdiction of any governmental regulatory commission.
S.Best Interest of Creditors: Section 1129(a)(7).
47.The Plan satisfies section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The liquidation analysis attached to the Disclosure Statement as Exhibit C and the Confirmation Declaration and the other evidence related thereto in support of the Plan that was proffered, admitted, or adduced at the Combined Hearing:  (a) are reasonable, persuasive, and credible as of the dates such analyses or evidence was prepared, presented, or proffered; (b) utilize reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions; (c) have not been controverted by other evidence; and (d) establish that each holder of an Impaired Claim or Interest against a Debtor either has accepted the Plan or will receive or retain under the Plan, on account of such Claim or Interest, property of a value, as of the Effective Date, that is not less than the amount that such holder would receive or retain if such Debtors were hypothetically liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date.
T.Acceptance by Certain Classes: Section 1129(a)(8).
48.The Unimpaired Classes are Unimpaired by the Plan and, accordingly, holders of Claims in such Classes are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Voting Class is Impaired and each holder in the Voting Class has voted to accept the Plan, as established by the Voting Declaration.

19


49.The Deemed Rejecting Classes are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan is confirmable because it satisfies sections 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code because Class 2 has voted to accept the Plan, and, with respect to the Deemed Rejecting Classes, section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code is satisfied as set forth below.
U.Treatment of Claims Entitled to Priority Under Section 507(a) of the Bankruptcy Code: Section 1129(a)(9).
50.The treatment of Administrative Expense Claims, Professional Claims, Priority Tax Claims, DIP Claims, and the statutory fees imposed by 28 U.S.C. § 1930 under Article II of the Plan, satisfy the requirements of, and comply in all respects with, section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code.  
V.Acceptance by At Least One Impaired Class: Section 1129(a)(10).
51.The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code.  As evidenced by the Voting Declaration, Class 2, which is Impaired, voted to accept the Plan in accordance with section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, determined without including any acceptance of the Plan by any insider (as that term is defined in section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code).
W.Feasibility: Section 1129(a)(11).
52.The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The evidence supporting Confirmation of the Plan proffered, admitted, or adduced by the Debtors at or prior to the Combined Hearing:  (a) is reasonable, persuasive, and credible as of the dates such evidence was prepared, presented, or proffered; (b) utilizes reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions; (c) has not been controverted by other evidence; (d) establishes that the Plan is feasible and Confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation, or the need for further financial reorganization of the Debtors or any successor to the Debtors

20


under the Plan, except as provided for under the Plan; and (e) establishes that the Debtors will have sufficient funds available to meet their obligations under the Plan.
X.Payment of Fees: Section 1129(a)(12).
53.The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Section 12.2 of the Plan provides for the payment of all fees payable by the Debtors under 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a).
Y.Continuation of Employee Benefits: Section 1129(a)(13).
54.The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code.  From and after the Effective Date, all retiree benefits (as that term is defined in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code), if any, shall be an obligation of Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary in accordance with applicable law.  Other than employees employed by Reorganized PrivateCo, New Subsidiary shall be the successor to Capstone with respect to the employment of the directors, officers, and employees of all the Debtors or relating to any Employment Obligations (as defined in the Plan).  Reorganized PrivateCo shall have no liability with respect to, relating to, or in connection with the Employment Obligations or any Claims against any Debtor.
Z.Non-Applicability of Certain Sections: 1129(a)(14), (15), and (16).
55.Sections 1129(a)(14), 1129(a)(15), and 1129(a)(16) of the Bankruptcy Code do not apply to these Chapter 11 Cases.  The Debtors (a) are not required by a judicial or administrative order, or by statute, to pay a domestic support obligation, (b) are not individuals, and (c) are each a moneyed, business, or commercial corporation.
AA.“Cram Down” Requirements: Section 1129(b).
56.The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Notwithstanding the fact that Class 8 (Equity Interests) and Class 9 (Section 510(b) Claims), as well as certain holders of Claims in Class 6 (Intercompany Claims), are deemed to reject the Plan,

21


the Plan may be confirmed pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The evidence in support of the Plan that was proffered, admitted, or adduced at or prior to the Combined Hearing is reasonable, persuasive, and credible, and has not been controverted by other evidence, and establishes that the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.  First, all of the requirements of section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code other than section 1129(a)(8) have been met.  Second, the Plan is fair and equitable with respect to such Classes.  The Plan has been proposed in good faith, is reasonable, and meets the requirements that (a) the holder of the Class 2 Pre-Petition Secured Claim has consented to allowing holders of Claims or Interests that are junior to Class 2 Claims to receive or retain any property under the Plan on account of such junior Claim or Interest and (b) no holder of a Claim or Interest in a Class senior to such Classes is receiving more than 100% on account of its Claim.  Third, the Plan does not discriminate unfairly with respect to such Classes because similarly situated holders of Claims and Interests will receive substantially similar treatment on account of their Claims and Interests irrespective of Class.  Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirement of section 1129(b)(1) and (2) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Plan may therefore be confirmed despite the fact that not all Impaired Classes have voted to accept the Plan.
BB.Only One Plan: Section 1129(c).
57.The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Plan is the only chapter 11 plan filed with respect to each Debtor in each of these Chapter 11 Cases.
CC.Principal Purpose of the Plan: Section 1129(d).
58.The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The principal purpose of the Plan is not the avoidance of taxes or the avoidance of the application of section 5 of the Securities Act.

22


DD.Not Small Business Cases: Section 1129(e).
59.These Chapter 11 Cases are not small business cases, and accordingly section 1129(e) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable in these Chapter 11 Cases.
EE.Good Faith Solicitation: Section 1125(e).
60.Based on the record before the Bankruptcy Court in these Chapter 11 Cases, including evidence proffered, admitted, or adduced at or prior to the Combined Hearing, the Debtors and the other Exculpated Parties (i) have acted in “good faith” within the meaning of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, the Solicitation Procedures, and any applicable non-bankruptcy law, rule, or regulation governing the adequacy of disclosure in connection with the development of the Plan, all their respective activities relating to the solicitation of acceptances to the Plan and their participation in the activities described in section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) shall be deemed to have participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code in the offer and issuance of any securities under the Plan, and therefore are not, and on account of such offer, issuance, and solicitation will not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or the offer and issuance of the securities under the Plan, and are entitled to the protections afforded by section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and the Exculpation set forth in Section 8.4 of the Plan.
FF.Implementation.
61.The terms of the Plan, including the Plan Supplements and all exhibits and schedules thereto, and all other documents filed in connection with the Plan (collectively, the “Plan Documents”) constitute essential elements of the Plan.  Consummation of each such Plan Document is in the best interests of the Debtors, the Debtors’ Estates, and holders of Claims and

23


Interests, and such Plan Documents are hereby approved.  The Debtors have exercised reasonable business judgment in determining to enter into the Plan Documents, and the Plan Documents have been negotiated in good faith, at arm’s-length, and shall, upon completion of documentation and execution, be valid, binding, and enforceable agreements and not be in conflict with any federal or state law.
GG.Authority to Pursue, Settle, or Abandon Retained Causes of Action.
62.Unless expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or by a Final Order, in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue any and all Causes of Action (except with respect to the Retained Assets), whether arising before or after the Petition Date, and Reorganized PublicCo’s and New Subsidiary’s rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date.  
HH.Good Faith.
63.The Debtors, the Pre-Petition Secured Party, the NPA Collateral Agent, the DIP Purchaser, the DIP Agent, and other Released Parties, the Exculpated Parties, and their respective successors, predecessors, control persons, affiliates, directors, officers, members, managers, shareholders, partners, employees, attorneys, investment bankers, advisors and agents, as applicable, acted in good faith to develop, negotiate, propose, and consummate the Plan and the agreements, compromises, and transactions contemplated thereby. The entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s finding and determination that (a) each Released Party’s in-court or out-of-court efforts to develop, negotiate, and propose the Plan were, with respect to each other Released Party and any other Person, in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law and (b) the compromises of the Pre-Petition Secured Party’s Claims and Interests

24


reflected in the Plan are (i) in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates, (ii) fair, equitable, and reasonable, and (iii) approved by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to sections 105(a) and 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019.
II.Retention of Jurisdiction.
64.The Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction over all matters arising in or related to, these Chapter 11 Cases, including the matters set forth in Article XI of the Plan and section 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code.

ORDER

IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED, DECREED, AND DETERMINED THAT:  

1.Final Approval of Disclosure Statement. The Disclosure Statement (i) contains adequate information of a kind generally consistent with the disclosure requirements of all applicable non-bankruptcy law, including the Securities Act, (ii) contains “adequate information” (as such term is defined in section 1125(a)(1) and used in section 1126(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code) with respect to the Debtors, the Plan, and the transactions contemplated therein, and (iii) is approved on a final basis in all respects.
2.Confirmation of the Plan.  The Plan is approved in its entirety and CONFIRMED under section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Plan Documents are hereby authorized and approved, and the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable) are authorized to execute any and all Plan Documents.  The terms of the Plan are an integral part of this Confirmation Order.  The failure to specifically describe, include, or to refer to any particular article, section, or provision of the Plan in this Confirmation Order shall not diminish or impair the effectiveness of such article, section, or provision, it being the intent of the Bankruptcy Court that the Plan is confirmed in its entirety, except as expressly modified herein, the Plan Documents are approved in their entirety.

25


3.Objections.  All objections to Confirmation of the Plan or final approval of the Disclosure Statement and other responses, comments, statements, or reservation of rights, if any, in opposition to the Plan or Disclosure Statement that have not been withdrawn, waived, or otherwise resolved by the Debtors prior to entry of this Confirmation Order are overruled on the merits.
4.Plan Classification Controlling.  The terms of the Plan shall solely govern the classification of Claims and Interests for purposes of the distributions to be made thereunder.  The classification set forth on the Ballots tendered to or returned by the holders of Claims in connection with voting on the Plan:  (a) were set forth thereon solely for purposes of voting to accept or reject the Plan; (b) do not necessarily represent, and in no event shall be deemed to modify or otherwise affect, the actual classification of Claims and Interests under the Plan for distribution purposes; (c) may not be relied upon by any holder of a Claim or Interest as representing the actual classification of such Claim or Interest under the Plan for distribution purposes; and (d) shall not be binding on the Debtors except for voting purposes.
5.Plan Modifications.  The modifications, amendments, and supplements made to the Plan following the solicitation of votes thereon constitute technical changes and do not materially adversely affect or change the proposed treatment of any Claims or Interests.  After giving effect to such modifications, the Plan continues to satisfy the requirements of sections 1122 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The filing of the non-material modifications to the Plan and the proposed form of this Confirmation Order with the Bankruptcy Court, which contains such modifications, and the disclosure of such modifications on the record at the Combined Hearing constitute due and sufficient notice thereof.  Accordingly, such modifications do not require additional disclosure or re-solicitation of votes under sections 1125, 1126, or 1127 of the

26


Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rule 3019, nor do they require that the holders of Claims in the Voting Class be afforded an opportunity to change their previously cast votes on the Plan.  The holders of Claims in the Voting Class who voted to accept the solicitation version of the Plan are deemed to accept the Plan as modified.  The Plan, as modified, is, therefore, properly before this Court and all votes cast with respect to the Plan prior to such modification shall be binding and shall apply with respect to the Plan.
6.No Action Required.  No action of the respective directors, equity holders, managers, or members of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable) is required to authorize the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable) to enter into, execute, deliver, file, adopt, amend, restate, consummate, or effectuate, as the case may be, the Plan, or any contract, assignment, certificate, instrument, or other document to be executed, delivered, adopted, or amended in connection with the implementation of the Plan or other Plan Documents.  
7.Binding Effect.  On the date of and after entry of this Confirmation Order, in accordance with section 1141(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date and notwithstanding Bankruptcy Rules 3020(e), 6004(d), 6004(h), or otherwise, the terms of the Plan, the Plan Documents, and this Confirmation Order shall be immediately effective (and/or adopted, where applicable) and enforceable and deemed binding upon the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable), and any and all holders of Claims or Interests and such holder’s respective successors and assigns (regardless of whether or not (a) the holders of such Claims or Interests voted to accept or reject, or are deemed to have accepted or rejected, the Plan or (b) the holders of such Claims or Interests are entitled to a distribution under the Plan), all Entities that are parties to or are subject to the settlements, compromises, releases (including the releases set forth in Article VIII of the Plan), waivers, discharges, exculpations, and injunctions

27


provided for in the Plan, each Entity acquiring property under the Plan or this Confirmation Order, and any and all non-Debtor parties to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.  All Claims and debts shall be fixed, adjusted, or compromised, as applicable, pursuant to the Plan regardless of whether any holder of a Claim or debt has voted on the Plan.  The Plan and the Plan Documents constitute legal, valid, binding, and authorized obligations of the respective parties thereto and shall be enforceable in accordance with their terms.  Pursuant to section 1142(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan and the Plan Documents, and any amendments or modifications thereto, shall apply and be enforceable notwithstanding any otherwise applicable non-bankruptcy law.
8.Effectiveness of All Actions.  All actions contemplated by the Plan, including all actions pursuant to, in accordance with, or in connection with the Plan Documents, are hereby effective and authorized to be taken on, prior to, or after the Effective Date, as applicable, under this Confirmation Order, without further application to, or order of the Bankruptcy Court, or further action by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable).
9.Plan Implementation.  
(a)Pursuant to section 1123(a)(5)(D) of the Bankruptcy Code, on, or, unless specifically provided otherwise herein or in the Plan, prior to the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, the Debtors, in accordance with Article IV of the Plan, may take all actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect any transaction described in, approved by, contemplated by, or necessary to effectuate the Plan including (a) the execution and delivery of appropriate agreements or other documents containing terms that are consistent with or reasonably necessary to implement the terms of the Plan and that satisfy the requirements of applicable law; (b) the execution and delivery of appropriate instruments of transfer, assignment, assumption, or delegation of any property, right, liability, duty, or obligation on terms consistent

28


with the terms of the Plan; and (c) all other actions that the Debtors determine are necessary or appropriate and that are not inconsistent with the Plan.
(b)Except as set forth in the Plan, all actions authorized to be taken pursuant to the Plan, the Plan Supplements, and the Plan Documents shall be effective prior to, on, or after the Effective Date pursuant to this Confirmation Order, without further notice, application to, or order of this Court, or further action by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable).  All documents necessary to implement the Plan and all other relevant and necessary documents in respect of the Restructuring, including any documents related to the New Debt Facility, have been negotiated in good faith and at arm’s length and shall, upon completion of the documentation and execution thereof, be valid, binding, and enforceable agreements.
(c)The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, are authorized to enter into and effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Restructuring, as described in Section 4.2 of the Plan or otherwise, and may take any actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the Restructuring, as and to the extent provided in the Plan and this Confirmation Order.  Any transfers of assets effected through the Plan are hereby approved and shall not constitute fraudulent conveyances or fraudulent transfers or otherwise be subject to avoidance.  Each Debtor, as reorganized, as applicable, shall continue to exist after the Effective Date as a separate corporate entity or limited liability company as the case may be, with all the powers of a corporation or limited liability company, as the case may be, under the applicable law in the jurisdiction in which such applicable Debtor is incorporated or formed.
(d)To the extent that, under applicable non-bankruptcy law, any of the foregoing actions would otherwise require the consent or approval of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable), this Confirmation Order shall, pursuant to section 1123(a)(5)(D) of the

29


Bankruptcy Code, constitute such consent or approval, and such actions are deemed to have been taken by unanimous action of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable).
10.New Debt Facility.  This Confirmation Order constitutes (i) approval of the New Debt Facility, the New Debt Facility Term Sheet, and all transactions contemplated thereby, including the payment of all fees, indemnities, and expenses provided for therein, and (ii) authorization of Reorganized PublicCo and New Subsidiary to enter into, execute and perform under the New Debt Facility Term Sheet and use New Debt Facility Net Proceeds in accordance with the terms of the New Debt Facility Term Sheet.  On the Effective Date, all of the Liens and security interests to be granted as set forth in the New Debt Facility Term Sheet (i) shall be deemed to have been approved by Reorganized PublicCo and New Subsidiary and their applicable subsidiaries, (ii) shall be legal, binding, and enforceable Liens on, and security interests in, the collateral granted thereunder in accordance with the terms of the New Debt Facility Term Sheet, and (iii) shall be deemed perfected upon Reorganized PublicCo and New Subsidiary’s entry into the New Debt Facility, subject only to such Liens and security interests as may be permitted as set forth in the New Debt Facility Term Sheet.
11.Cancellation of Existing Securities and Agreements.  On the Effective Date, except to the extent otherwise provided herein or in the Plan, all notes, instruments, Certificates, including without limitation, all equity grants, warrants, and/or restricted units and any agreement with respect to the foregoing, including the Rights Agreement (as defined below), and other documents evidencing Claims or Interests shall be cancelled and the obligations of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors and the non-Debtors’ Affiliates thereunder or in any way related thereto shall be discharged; provided, however, that notwithstanding Confirmation or the occurrence of the Effective Date, (i) any agreement that governs the rights of the holder of a Claim or Interest shall

30


continue in effect solely for purposes of (a) allowing holders of Claims or Interests to receive distributions under the Plan and (b) allowing and preserving the rights of Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, to make distributions on account of Claims and Interests as provided in Article VI of the Plan and (ii) the Note Documents shall continue in effect solely for the purposes of allowing the NPA Collateral Agent and the DIP Agent to (a) receive payment of its fees and expenses as provided under the Note Documents and the DIP Documents, as applicable, and (b) have the benefit of all the rights and protections for the NPA Collateral Agent and the DIP Agent under the Note Documents and DIP Documents, as applicable, including, but not limited to, the preservation of any indemnification rights.  Holders of or parties to such cancelled instruments, Securities, and other documentation will have no rights arising from or relating to such instruments, Securities, and other documentation, or the cancellation thereof, except the rights provided for pursuant to the Plan.
12.Offering and Issuance of Securities.  The offering, issuance, distribution, and exercise (as applicable) of any Securities, including, without limitation, the Reorganized PublicCo Equity, the Reorganized PrivateCo Equity, the New Subsidiary Common Units and the New Subsidiary Preferred Units, pursuant to the Plan will be in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or exempt from the registration requirements of section 5 therein to the maximum extent permitted thereunder pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, or any other available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as applicable.  In addition, under section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, if applicable, any Securities issued under the Plan shall be freely transferable under the Securities Act by the recipients thereof, subject to: (1) the provisions of section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code relating to the definition of an underwriter in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and

31


compliance with any applicable state or foreign securities laws, if any, and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), if any, applicable at the time of any future transfer of such Securities or instruments; (2) the restrictions, if any, on the transferability of such Securities and instruments; and (3) any other applicable regulatory approval.
13.Section 1146(a) Exemption.  To the maximum extent permitted pursuant to section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable law, the issuance, transfer, or exchange of a security, or the making or delivery of an instrument or transfer under the Plan, may not be taxed under any law imposing a stamp tax or similar tax, and upon entry of this Confirmation Order, the appropriate state or local governmental officials or age shall forgo the collection of any such tax and accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax.
14.Preservation of Causes of Action.  In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, but subject in all respects to Section 4.15 of the Plan, unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or by a Final Order, the Reorganized Debtors shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue any and all Causes of Action, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, and the Reorganized Debtors’ rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date.  
15.Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, all Avoidance Actions against non-Insiders of the Debtors shall be waived upon the Effective Date.  No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplements, or the Disclosure Statement to any Causes of Action against it as any indication that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against it.  The

32


Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan.  Unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or a Court order, including pursuant to Article VIII of the Plan, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, expressly reserve all Causes of Action for later adjudication.
16.Substitution in Pending Legal Actions.  On the Effective Date, Reorganized PrivateCo shall be deemed to be substituted as the party to any litigation relating to the Retained Assets in which the Debtors are a party, and Reorganized PublicCo shall be deemed to be substituted as the party to all other litigation (not relating to the Retained Assets) in which the Debtors are a party, including, in each case (but not limited to) (i) pending contested matters or adversary proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court, (ii) any appeals of orders of the Bankruptcy Court and (iii) any state or federal court or state or federal administrative proceedings pending as of the Petition Date.  The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors are not required to, but may, take such steps as are appropriate to provide notice of such substitution.
17.Professional Compensation.  The provisions governing compensation of Professionals set forth in Section 2.2 of the Plan are approved in their entirety.  All final requests for Professional Claims through and including the Effective Date shall be filed no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date.  Any objections to Professional Claims shall be served and filed no later than twenty-eight (28) days after the filing of such final applications for payment of Professional Claims.
18.Payment of Professional Claims.  In accordance with Section 2.2 of the Plan, Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary shall pay Professional Claims in Cash in the amount the

33


Bankruptcy Court Allows.  From and after the Confirmation Date, any requirement that Professionals comply with sections 327 through 331 and 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code in seeking retention or compensation for services rendered after such date shall terminate, and the Reorganized Debtors may employ and pay any Professional in the ordinary course of business without any further notice to, or action, order, or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court.
19.Subordination.  The allowance, classification, and treatment of all Claims and Interests and the respective distributions and treatments under the Plan take into account and conform to the relative priority and rights of the Claims and Interests in each Class in connection with any contractual, legal, and equitable subordination rights relating thereto, whether arising under general principles of equitable subordination, section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise.  Pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, (as applicable) reserve the right to reclassify any Claim or Interest in accordance with any contractual, legal, or equitable subordination relating thereto.
20.Release of Liens.  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document entered into or delivered in connection with the Plan, on the Effective Date concurrently and consistent with the treatment provided for Claims and Interests in Article III of the Plan, all mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens against, security interests in, or other encumbrances or interests in property of any Estate shall be deemed fully released and discharged.

Article V

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES
5.1Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

No Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease shall be assumed by Reorganized PrivateCo unless such Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease is listed as “assumed” by Reorganized PrivateCo in the Plan Supplement.  Except as otherwise provided herein, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease shall be deemed assumed by Capstone and/or the applicable Debtor counterparty (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Reorganized PrivateCo) and assigned to Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, without the need for any further notice to, or action, order, or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court, as of the Effective Date under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless any such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease: (a) is a Retained Contract; (b) is listed on the Rejection Schedule; (c) has been previously assumed or rejected by the Debtors by Final Order or has been assumed or rejected by the Debtors by order of the Bankruptcy Court as of the Effective Date, which order becomes a Final Order after the Effective Date; or (d) is the subject of a motion to assume or reject pending as of the Effective Date.  The assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases hereunder may include the

28


assignment of certain of such contracts to Affiliates.  The Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the above-described assumptions, assignments and rejections.

Except as otherwise provided herein or agreed to by the Debtors with the applicable counterparty, each assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements related thereto, and all rights related thereto, if any, including all 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 hereunder.  Modifications, amendments, supplements and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.

5.2Cure of Defaults and Objections to Assumption

Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, shall pay Cures in the ordinary course after the Effective Date.  Any dispute regarding a Cure shall be resolved in the ordinary course in an appropriate non­bankruptcy forum.  Any Cure shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged upon payment by Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, of the Cure.  Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, also may settle any Cure without any further notice to, or action, order or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court.

Any objection to the assumption of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan on grounds other than Cure must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court by the deadline established for filing objections to the Plan.  Any such objection will be scheduled to be heard by the Bankruptcy Court.  Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to timely object to the proposed assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease will be deemed to have consented to such assumption.

If there is a dispute regarding the ability of Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any other matter pertaining to assumption, then payment of Cure shall occur as soon as practicable after entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute, approving such assumption (and, if applicable, assignment), or as may be agreed upon by Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, and the counterparty to the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.  Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, reserves the right either to reject or nullify the assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease within forty-five (45) days after entry of a Final Order resolving an objection to assumption or determining the Cure or any request for adequate assurance of future performance required to assume such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.

Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Cures, Claims, or defaults, 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

29


Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time prior to the effective date of assumption.  Any and all Claims based upon Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that have been assumed in the Chapter 11 Cases, including pursuant to the Confirmation Order, shall be deemed disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without the need for any objection thereto or any further notice to, or action, order or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court; provided, however, any Claim relating to a Cure shall be deemed disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date only upon payment of the Cure or as otherwise agreed by the Reorganized Debtors and the applicable claimant.

5.3Pre-existing Payment and Other Obligations

Rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall not constitute a termination of pre-existing obligations owed to the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, under such contract or lease.  In particular, to the extent permissible under applicable non-bankruptcy law, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve and do not waive any right to receive, or any continuing obligation of a counterparty to provide (a) payment to the contracting Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, of outstanding and future amounts owing thereto under or in connection with rejected Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases or (b) maintenance of, or to repair or replace, goods previously purchased by the contracting Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable.

5.4Rejection Damages Claims and Objections to Rejection

Pursuant to section 502(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, counterparties to Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that are rejected shall have the right to assert Claims, if any, on account of the rejection of such contracts and leases.  All Allowed Claims (excluding the Pre-Petition Secured Claim) arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases shall be classified as Class 5 — General Unsecured Claims against the Debtor(s) counterparty thereto.  

5.5Contracts, Intercompany Contracts, and Leases Entered Into After the Petition Date

Contracts, Intercompany Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by the Debtors and any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by the Debtors may be performed by Reorganized PublicCo and/or New Subsidiary, as applicable, in the ordinary course of business.

5.6Reservation of Rights

Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any contract or lease in the Plan Supplement, nor anything contained in the Plan, shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that the Reorganized Debtors have any liability thereunder.  If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption or rejection, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have forty-five (45) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.

Upon the occurrence of an Unimpaired Claim Resolution with respect to a prepetition Unimpaired Claim, the Unimpaired Claim Carve Out shall

31

6.3Delivery of Distributions

On the Effective Date, distributions under the Plan shall be delivered by the Distribution Agent to each holder of such Interests.  The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Pre-Petition Secured Party, the NPA Collateral Agent, and the Distribution Agent, as applicable, shall not incur any liability whatsoever on account of any distributions under the Plan except for gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(a)Accrual of Dividends and Other Rights

For purposes of determining the accrual of dividends or other rights after the Effective Date, Reorganized PublicCo Equity, Reorganized PrivateCo Equity, New Subsidiary Common Units and New Subsidiary Preferred Units issued under the Plan shall be deemed distributed as of the Effective Date regardless of the date on which it is actually issued, dated, authenticated, or distributed.

(b)Compliance Matters

In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes, withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such distributions, or establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable and appropriate.  The Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and other spousal awards, liens, and encumbrances.  All Persons holding Claims shall be required to provide any information necessary to effect information reporting and the withholding of such taxes.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, (a) each holder of an Allowed Claim shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any Governmental Unit, including income, withholding and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution, and (b) no distribution shall be made to or on behalf of such holder pursuant to the Plan unless and until such holder has made arrangements satisfactory to the Reorganized Debtors for the payment and satisfaction of such tax obligations.

32


(c)Foreign Currency Exchange Rate

Except as otherwise provided in a Bankruptcy Court order, as of the Effective Date, any Claim asserted in currency other than U.S. dollars shall be automatically deemed converted to the equivalent U.S. dollar value using the exchange rate for the applicable currency as published in The Wall Street Journal, National Edition, on the Effective Date.

(d)Fractional, Undeliverable, and Unclaimed Distributions
(1)No Fractional Distributions.  The Distribution Agent may not make distributions of fractions of shares of Reorganized PublicCo Equity, Reorganized PrivateCo Equity, New Subsidiary Common Units or New Subsidiary Preferred Units, as applicable.  Whenever fractional distributions would otherwise be called for, the actual distributions may reflect a rounding down of such fractions.
(2)Undeliverable Distributions.  If any distribution to a holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest is returned to a Distribution Agent as undeliverable, no further distributions shall be made to such holder unless and until such Distribution Agent is notified in writing of such holder’s then-current address or other necessary information for delivery, at which time all currently due missed distributions shall be made to such holder as soon as practicable.  Undeliverable distributions shall remain in the possession of Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable, or such distribution reverts to Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary or is cancelled pursuant to Section 6.3(e)(3) hereof, and shall not be supplemented with any interest, dividends, or other accruals of any kind.
(3)Reversion. The Debtors shall use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate as needed with those holding Allowed Claims to ensure distributions are received.  Any distribution under the Plan that is an Unclaimed Distribution for a period of six months after distribution shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and such Unclaimed Distribution shall revest in the Reorganized Debtors and, to the extent such Unclaimed Distribution is a New Subsidiary Common Unit or a New Subsidiary Preferred Unit, shall be deemed cancelled.  Upon such revesting, the Claim or Interest of any holder or its successors with respect to such property shall be cancelled, discharged, and forever barred notwithstanding any applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned or unclaimed property laws, or any provisions in any document governing the distribution that is an Unclaimed Distribution, to the contrary.
(e)Surrender of Cancelled Instruments or Securities

On the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, each holder of a Certificate shall surrender such Certificate to the Distribution Agent.  Such Certificate shall be cancelled solely

33


with respect to the Debtors, and such cancellation shall not alter the obligations or rights of any non-Debtors third parties vis-a-vis one another with respect to such Certificate.  No distribution of property pursuant to the Plan shall be made to or on behalf of any such holder unless and until such Certificate is received by the Distribution Agent or the unavailability of such Certificate is reasonably established to the satisfaction of the Distribution Agent pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.3(f) hereof.  Any holder who fails to surrender or cause to be surrendered such Certificate or fails to execute and deliver an affidavit of loss and indemnity acceptable to the Distribution Agent prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date shall have its Claim or Interest discharged with no further action, be forever barred from asserting any such Claim or Interest against the relevant Entity in the Reorganized Debtors or its property, be deemed to have forfeited all rights and Claims and Interests with respect to such Certificate, and not participate in any distribution under the Plan; furthermore, all property with respect to such forfeited distributions, including any dividends or interest attributable thereto, shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors notwithstanding any federal or state escheat, abandoned or unclaimed property law to the contrary.  Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, this Section 6.3(e) shall not apply to any Claims and Interests reinstated pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

(f)Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Securities

Any holder of Allowed Claims or Interests evidenced by a Certificate that has been lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed shall, in lieu of surrendering such Certificate, deliver to the Distribution Agent an affidavit of loss acceptable to the Distribution Agent setting forth the unavailability of the Certificate and such additional indemnity as may be required reasonably by the Distribution Agent to hold the Distribution Agent harmless from any damages, liabilities, or costs incurred in treating such holder as a holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest.  Upon compliance with this procedure by a holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest evidenced by such a lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Certificate, such holder shall, for all purposes pursuant to the Plan, be deemed to have surrendered such Certificate.

6.4Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties

A Claim shall be reduced in full and such Claim shall be disallowed without a Claims objection having to be filed and without any further notice to, or action, order or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court, to the extent that the holder of such Claim receives payment in full on account of such Claim from a party that is not the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors.  To the extent a holder of a Claim receives a distribution on account of such Claim and receives payment from a party that is not the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors on account of such Claim, such holder shall repay, return, or deliver any distribution held by or transferred to the holder to the Reorganized Debtors to the extent the holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount of such Claim as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan.

6.5Setoffs

Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein (including with respect to any Pre-Petition Secured Claim with respect to letters of credit as provided in the definition of Other Secured Claims), the Reorganized Debtors, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (including section

34


553 of the Bankruptcy Code), applicable non­bankruptcy law, or as may be agreed to by the holder of a Claim, may set off against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of such Allowed Claim (before any distribution is made on account of such Allowed Claim), any Claims, rights, and Causes of Action of any nature that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may hold against the holder of such Allowed Claim, to the extent such Claims, rights, or Causes of Action against such holder have not been otherwise compromised or settled on or prior to the Effective Date (whether pursuant to the Plan or otherwise): provided, however, that neither the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim pursuant to the Plan shall constitute a waiver or release by such Reorganized Debtors of any such Claims, rights, and Causes of Action that such Reorganized Debtors may possess against such holder.

6.6Allocation Between Principal and Accrued Interest

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the aggregate consideration paid to holders with respect to their Allowed Claims shall be treated pursuant to the Plan as allocated first to the principal amount of such Allowed Claims (to the extent thereof) and, thereafter, to the interest, if any, accrued through the Effective Date.

Article VII

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED CLAIMS AND INTERESTS
7.1Disputed Claims Process

All Allowed Claims against the Debtors shall be paid in the ordinary course by Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary. All Claims shall be asserted against Reorganized PublicCo and/or New Subsidiary, and Claims asserted against Reorganized PrivateCo shall be deemed Claims against Reorganized PublicCo and/or New Subsidiary.  Parties are not required to file Proofs of Claim.  In the event that one or more parties files a Proof of Claim, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve all rights to contest any such Proof of Claim.  Except as otherwise provided herein, if a party files a Proof of Claim and the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, do not determine in their discretion, and without the need for notice to, or action, order or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court, that the Claim subject to such Proof of Claim is Allowed, such Claim shall be Disputed unless Allowed or disallowed by a Final Order or as otherwise set forth in this Article VII. For the avoidance of doubt, on and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may negotiate and settle any Claims, including Claims for which a Proof of Claim has been filed, without further notice to or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the Claims and Noticing Agent or any other party.

7.2Prosecution of Objections to Claims and Interests

Except insofar as a Claim or Interest is Allowed under the Plan, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any other party in interest shall be entitled to object to the Claim or Interest.  Any objections to Claims and Interests shall be served and filed on or before the 120th day after the Effective Date or by such later date as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Reorganized Debtors may prosecute, adjudicate or otherwise resolve Claims and Interests in non-bankruptcy forums after the expiration

35


of such 120-day period.  For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, from and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses such Debtors had immediately prior to the Effective Date with respect to any Disputed Claim or Interest, including the Causes of Action retained pursuant to Section 4.15 hereof.

7.3No Interest

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or by order of the Bankruptcy Court, post-petition interest shall not accrue or be paid on Claims, and no holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim or right.  Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing, interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Disputed Claim with respect to the period from the Effective Date to the date a final distribution is made on account of such Disputed Claim, if and when such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

7.4Disallowance of Claims and Interests

All Claims and Interests of any Entity from which property is sought by the Debtors under section 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors allege is a transferee of a transfer that is avoidable under section 522(t), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be disallowed if (a) the Entity, on the one hand, and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, on the other hand, agree, or the Bankruptcy Court has determined by Final Order, that such Entity or transferee is liable to turn over any property or monies under any of the aforementioned sections of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) such Entity or transferee has failed to turn over such property by the date set forth in such agreement or Final Order.

Article VIII

EFFECT OF CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN
8.1Discharge of Claims and Termination of Interests

Except as otherwise provided for herein and effective as of the Effective Date: (a) the rights afforded in the Plan and the treatment of all Claims and Interests shall be in exchange for and in complete satisfaction, discharge, and release of all Claims and Interests of any nature whatsoever against the Debtors or any of their assets, property, or Estates; (b) the Plan shall bind all holders of Claims and Interests, notwithstanding whether any such holders failed to vote to accept or reject the Plan or voted to reject the Plan; (c) all Claims and Interests shall be satisfied, discharged, and released in full, and the Debtors’ liability with respect thereto shall be extinguished completely, including any liability of the kind specified under section 502(g) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (d) all Entities shall be precluded from asserting against the Debtors, the Debtors’ Estates, the Reorganized Debtors, their successors and assigns, and their assets and properties any other Claims or Interests based upon any documents, instruments, or any act or omission, transaction, or other activity of any kind or nature that occurred prior to the Effective Date.

Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, of the release set forth in this Section 8.3, which includes by reference each of the related provisions and definitions contained herein, and further, shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s finding that such release is: (a) in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Estate, and the Released Parties; (b) a good faith settlement and compromise of the Claims released by this Section 8.3; (c) in the best interests of the Debtors and all holders of Claims and Interests; (d) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (e) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (f) a bar to any Entity granting a release under this Section 8.3 from asserting any Claim or Cause of Action released by this Section 8.3.

8.4Exculpation

No Exculpated Party shall have or incur, and each Exculpated Party is hereby released and exculpated from any Exculpated Claim or any obligation, Cause of Action, or liability for any Exculpated Claim; provided, however, that the foregoing “exculpation” shall have no effect on the liability of any Entity that results from any act or omission that is determined in a Final Order to have constituted fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.  The Exculpated Parties have, and upon Confirmation shall be deemed to have, participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to the solicitation of acceptances and rejections of the Plan

38


and the making of distributions pursuant to the Plan and, therefore, are not and shall not be liable at any time for the violation of any applicable, law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or such distributions made pursuant to the Plan.

8.5Injunction

Except as otherwise provided herein or for obligations issued pursuant hereto, all Entities that have held, hold, or may hold Claims or Interests that have been released pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 hereof, discharged pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof, or are subject to exculpation pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof, are permanently enjoined, from and after the Effective Date, from taking any of the following actions against, as applicable, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Released Parties, or the Exculpated Parties: (a) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests; (b) enforcing, attaching, collecting, or recovering by any manner or means any judgment, award, decree, or order against such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests; (c) creating, perfecting, or enforcing any encumbrance of any kind against such Entities or the property or Estates of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests; (d) asserting any right of setoff, subrogation, or recoupment of any kind against any obligation due from such Entities or against the property or Estates of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests unless such holder has filed a motion requesting the right to perform such setoff on or before the Confirmation Date; and (e) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests released, exculpated, or settled pursuant to the Plan.

In accordance with section 525 of the Bankruptcy Code, and consistent with paragraph 2 of Article VI of the United States Constitution, no Governmental Unit shall discriminate against the Reorganized Debtors or any Entity with which the Reorganized Debtors has been or is associated, solely because the Reorganized Debtors were Debtors under chapter 11, may have been insolvent before the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases (or during the Chapter 11 Cases but before the Debtors were granted a discharge), or has not paid a debt that is dischargeable in the Chapter 11 Cases.

8.7Indemnification

On and from the Effective Date, and except as prohibited by applicable law, Reorganized PublicCo shall assume or reinstate, as applicable, all indemnification obligations in place as of the Effective Date (whether in by­laws, certificates of incorporation, board resolutions, contracts, or otherwise) for the current and former directors, officers, managers, employees, attorneys, other professionals, and agents of the Debtors and the respective Affiliates of such current and former directors, officers, managers, and employees.  In no event shall Reorganized PrivateCo have any

39


liabilities relating to, arising under, or in connection with the foregoing indemnification obligations.

Reorganized PublicCo agrees to indemnify Reorganized PrivateCo, its affiliates and its respective officers, partners, directors, trustees, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnitee Agent Party”) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fees, fines, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable and documented expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee Agent Party in any way relating to or arising out of events occurring prior to the Effective Date, including any governmental or regulatory agency fees, fines or penalties or any Claims, including any Section 510(b) Claims, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory, or sole negligence of such Indemnitee Agent Party; provided, Reorganized PublicCo shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fees, fines, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Indemnitee Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order.  The foregoing notwithstanding, (i) any and all taxes resulting from the Restructuring due and owing by Reorganized PrivateCo shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility of Reorganized PrivateCo and shall not be the responsibility of New Subsidiary and/or Reorganized PublicCo or covered by any indemnification provision in this Section 8.7 or otherwise, and (ii) any and all taxes resulting from the Restructuring due and owing by Reorganized PublicCo and New Subsidiary shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility of Reorganized PublicCo and New Subsidiary, as applicable.
