I.     INTRODUCTION
 
Enivel, Inc. (“Enivel”), Cleaners Club Acquisition Sub, Inc. (“CCI”), Steam Press Holdings, Inc. (“Steam Press”), U.S. Dry Cleaning Services Corporation dba U. S. Dry Cleaning Corporation (“USDC”), USDC Fresno, Inc. (“Fresno 1”), USDC Fresno 2, Inc. (“Fresno 2”), USDC Portsmouth, Inc. (“Portsmouth”), and USDC Tuchman Indiana, Inc. (“Tuchman”) are debtors (each a “Debtor” and collectively, the “Debtors”) in eight jointly administered Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases.2  On March 4, 2010, the Debtors commenced their bankruptcy cases by filing Voluntary Petitions under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”).  This document is the Debtors’ First Amended Joint and Consolidated Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization Dated September 14 2011, as further modified (as may be further amended or modified, the “Plan”).  On April 28, 2011, the Debtors filed their First Amended Disclosure Statement Describing Debtors’ First Amended Joint And Consolidated Chapter 11 Plan Of Reorganization Dated April 22, 2011, as Modified (as may be further amended or modified, the “Disclosure Statement”).  Please be advised that this Plan should be read in conjunction with the approved Disclosure Statement, and that there are disclosures and information provided in the Disclosure Statement which are not included in this Plan.
 
The effective date (the “Effective Date”) of the Plan will be the date the Confirmation Order is entered as the Bankruptcy Court waived the provisions of Bankruptcy Rule 3020(e) and no stay of the Confirmation Order is in effect.  The Debtors following the Effective Date shall be referred to as the “Reorganized Debtor.”
 
This Plan provides for the Debtors’ emergence from their Chapter 11 Cases3 as one consolidated entity under USDC,4 which the Debtors anticipate will occur in June 2011.  Under the Plan, the Debtors will satisfy their debt and other Claims as set forth in Article III below, provide a recovery for Equity Security Holders, and implement a recapitalization with approximately $8 million of new capital. The Plan described below has been designed to position the Reorganized Debtor to succeed.
                                                              
2 Unless expressly stated otherwise, any reference herein to the “docket” shall refer to the docket of Enivel, Inc., Bankruptcy Case No. 8:10-bk-12735-RK, as all eight bankruptcy cases are jointly administered under “Enivel, Inc.”
3 Any capitalized term not yet defined will be defined in Article II of this Plan or in the Disclosure Statement.
4 A hearing was held on January 27, 2011 on the Debtors’ Motion for Substantive Consolidation of All Debtors, which motion was approved pursuant to Bankruptcy Court order entered on April 21, 2011.

Currently, USDC is a public company and the parent company of the remaining Subsidiary Debtors.  After Confirmation of the Plan, the Reorganized Debtor will remain a public company.  The Reorganized Debtor will own and operate the dry cleaning stores which are currently owned collectively by the Debtors.  The Reorganized Debtor will also acquire additional dry cleaning stores after Confirmation.  As of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor will have seventy-one (71) dry cleaning stores and three (3) processing plants.  After Confirmation, the Reorganized Debtor will continue its strategy to: (a) acquire market-dominant dry cleaning chains; (b) add retail services and revenue lines to upgrade its stores into full service garment care centers; (c) improve margins and operations through converting the stores to its hub-and-spoke model; (d) create a national brand; and (e) refranchise the stores under the national brand.  In furtherance of this strategy, the Reorganized Debtor will pursue the Subsequent Public Offering.

Court Approval of Fees Required:
 
Except for the professionals who have a Bankruptcy Court order providing otherwise, the Bankruptcy Court must approve all Professional fees and expenses listed in this chart before they may be paid.  For all Professional fees and expenses except fees owing to the Clerk of the Court and fees owing to the Office of the United States Trustee (the “OUST”), the Professional in question must file and serve a properly noticed fee application and the Court must rule on the application, unless payment of such fees and expenses has previously been approved by this Court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 328(a).  Only the amount of fees and expenses allowed by the Court will be required to be paid under the Plan.  The Administrative Claim amounts set forth above for Professional fees and expenses simply represent the Debtors’ best estimate as to the amount of Allowed Administrative Claims for Professional fees and expenses in these Cases, making the assumption that the Debtors make all of the post-petition Professional fee monthly payments that the Debtors are authorized to make pursuant to the Court approved budget and related orders.  The actual Administrative Claims for Professional fees and expenses may be higher or lower.  By voting to accept this Plan, Creditors are not acknowledging the validity of, or consenting to the amount of, any of these Administrative Claims for Professional fees and expenses, and Creditors are not waiving any of their rights to object to the allowance of any of these Administrative Claims for Professional fees and expenses.  Also, the Professionals employed in these Cases may, prior to the Effective Date, seek Court approval of interim fees and expenses incurred in excess of the post-petition Professional fee monthly payments received by such Professionals.  To the extent any such interim fees and expenses are allowed by the Bankruptcy Court and paid by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date, that will reduce the amount of Professional fees and expenses to be paid by the Reorganized Debtor.
 
 
16

 
 
The last day to file Chapter 11 Administrative Claims (except for ordinary post-petition operating obligations and Professional fees and expenses) is thirty (30) days after the Effective Date.  Administrative expenses will be paid on the later of the Effective Date or 14 days after the entry of a non-appealable order allowing the Administrative expense, unless the administrative Claimant has consented otherwise in writing.  Post-petition trade Claims incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of their business shall be paid according to ordinary trade terms in the absence of an express agreement to the contrary.
 
The figures set forth above are just estimates of what the Debtors anticipate will be the ultimate allowed amount of such Administrative Claims in these Cases.  The actual Administrative Claims could be higher or lower depending upon a number of factors to be resolved in these Cases.  Moreover, the Debtors reserve the right to review and, if appropriate, object to any requests for allowance of administrative expense Claims, including fee applications of all Professionals.
 
2.           Priority Tax Claims
 
Priority Tax Claims include certain unsecured income, employment and other taxes described by Section 507(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code not secured by a lien in the Debtors’ assets.  The Bankruptcy Code requires that each holder of such a Section 507(a)(8) Priority Tax claim receive the present value of such Claim in deferred Cash payments (i) of a total value, as of the Effective Date, equal to the allowed amount of such Claim, (ii) over a period ending not later than five (5) years from the Petition Date, and (iii) in a manner not less favorable than the most favored nonpriority unsecured Claim provided for under the Plan.  While the Debtors’ propose to pay the majority of Priority Tax Claims over a period ending not later than five (5) years from the Petition Date, the Debtors reserve the right to pay any Allowed Priority Tax Claim in full either upon the Effective Date or at the time of the Subsequent Public Offering.  To the extent the Debtors propose to pay a Priority Tax Claim upon the Effective Date, the Debtors are proposing to pay such Claim as soon as practicable after the Effective Date.

The FTB filed at least seven Proofs of Claim against six Debtors asserting approximately $555,000 in Priority Claims and over $100,000 in general Unsecured Claims.  Because the Debtors have not filed tax returns, the FTB apparently estimated taxes owed based on the prior owners’ tax returns.  Once the Debtors become current on their tax returns, they believe they will be successful in objecting to these Claims due to the Debtors’ combined losses.  The Debtors’ estimate of what is owed to the FTB is approximately $12,800.

General: Class 14 Claimants holding in excess of $20 million in Secured Claims, although not similarly situated with respect to priorities, will receive equal treatment under the Plan.  Members of Class 14 will receive the following treatment under the Plan.
 
Compromise of Claim:
 
Although the Setal Entities allege they are entitled to a Secured Claim in the amount of at least $20 million, the Debtors dispute the validity of some of the penalties and other charges.  Additionally, under the Debtors’ First Amended Joint And Consolidated Chapter 11 Plan Of Reorganization Dated April 22, 2011, As Modified, the Setal Entities were to be paid $5 million on the Effective Date.  In consideration for agreeing to forego their other remedies as Secured Creditors and as a requirement to subordinating additional debt (in lieu of a $5 million Cash payment), the Setal Entities have agreed to the following: a Cash payment in the amount of $1 million and a secured  convertible note in the amount of $9.1 million, with the balance of their Claims ($8.65 million) to be satisfied by the issuance of New Common Stock in the Reorganized Debtor. In order to effectuate the Exit Financing and thereby provide the funding for payments to junior Classes of Creditors under the Plan, the Setal Entities are subordinating a portion and converting a portion of their Secured Claims.  Based thereon, the Debtors believe that these terms are in the best interests of the Estates and are reasonable under the circumstances. This proposed compromise and treatment under the Plan is subject to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and Confirmation of the Plan.

Allowed Claims in this Class are entitled to vote on the Plan
 
Cash Payment:
 
In full settlement and satisfaction of their Class 20 Claims, holders of Class 20  Allowed Claims shall have the right to select one of the following two options:
 
Option 1: If the holder of an Allowed Class 20 Claim elects the treatment described herein for Option 1 or does not make an election, then its Allowed Class 20 Claim will be treated as follows: Option 1 Class 20 Claim holders will receive, in the aggregate after payment of Class 20A Claims, the balance of $1 million to be distributed on a pro rata basis among Class 20 Claimants with Allowed Class 20 Claims. Within five (5) days of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall deposit $600,000 into a segregated account maintained by Levene, Neale, Bender, Yoo & Brill L.L.P. (the “Trust Account”) solely for the benefit of the Class 20 Claim holders, and shall deposit an additional $50,000 from the proceeds of each $500,000 of additional Exit Financing that is raised after the Effective Date until the full $1.0 million has been deposited into the Trust Account.  The balance due to the Class 20 Claim holders under the Plan shall be secured by a first priority lien on all of the assets of the Reorganized Debtors pari passu, with the claims and security interests owed to the holders of the New Debt Securities and the Professional Notes. The balance of the Class 20 Allowed Claims in the approximate amount of $9 million, will receive New Common as described below.
 
Equity:
 
As soon as practicable after the Subsequent Public Offering, holders of Class 20 Allowed Claims shall receive a  distribution of New Common Stock in an amount equal to the balance of their  Class 20 Allowed Claims after crediting the Cash distribution. The New Common Stock will be issued at the Discounted Stock Price. The Debtors estimate that approximately $9 million worth of New Common Stock will be issued to Class 20 Claimants with Allowed Claims.
 
If the Subsequent Public Offering is not effective within nine (9) months after the Effective Date, the balance of the Class 20 Claims of approximately $9 million shall receive one share of New Common Stock for every $15.00 of Claim.

Option 2:  Alternatively, if the Class 20 Claim holder elects to forego Option 1 and affirmatively selects Option 2 on the Class 20 Ballot, then under Option 2 such Class 20 Claim holder will not receive any Cash distribution and will not receive any New Common Stock.  In lieu of Cash and New Common Stock, Option 2 Class 20 Claim holders will retain their rights to pursue their Claims against the D&O Insurance Policy. Unless a Class 20 Claim holder elects Option 2, they will waive their rights to pursue their claims to the D&O Insurance Policy.  A copy of the D&O Insurance Policy may be obtained by sending a written request via email or fax to the Debtors’ bankruptcy counsel at: sseflin@wrslawyers.com or Fax No. (310) 479-1422, Attn: Susan K.

Allowed Claims in this Class are entitled to vote on the Plan
 
Class 20A Claimants shall receive in full, final and complete satisfaction of their Claims, a distribution as soon as practicable after the Effective Date of an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of each Allowed Claim.  A Creditor with a Claim in excess of $1,000 may elect in writing on the Ballot for voting on the Plan to reduce its Claim to $1,000 and receive a distribution of 20% (i.e., $200) on such Claim.  If $87,000 of Class 20A Claimants receive 20%, then that will reduce the $1 million for General Unsecured Creditors by approximately $18,000 (and will reduce the amount of outstanding General Unsecured Claims by $87,000).
 
Such treatment shall be in full and complete satisfaction of Class 20A Claims.
 
4.           Class of Interest Holders
 
Interest holders are the parties who hold an ownership Interest (i.e., equity interest) in the Debtors.  USDC is the owner of 100% of the stock of each of the Subsidiary Debtors, meaning that each of the Subsidiary Debtors is a wholly-owned subsidiary of USDC.  Since USDC is a corporation, the owners of the stock in USDC are considered Interest holders.  The following chart identifies this Plan’s treatment of the Classes of Interest holders:

Means of Effectuating this Plan and Implementation of this Plan
 
 
1.
Funding for this Plan.
 
The Plan will be funded by the Exit Financing in the aggregate amount of $8,800,000, plus the Debtors’ Cash on hand of approximately $200,000.  $4.4 million of Exit Financing will be raised prior to Confirmation, and the remainder will be raised after the Effective Date.  The Debtor expects that on the Effective Date, it will have $4.5 million with which to fund payments immediately due under the Plan.  The Debtor expects to raise an additional $2.5 - $3.5 million of Exit Financing, which will be used to pay the Professional Notes.  The balance of Allowed Claims will be satisfied by the issuance of the New Common Stock and/or payment over time by the Reorganized Debtor.

2.
Release of Liens.
 
Within 30 days of satisfaction of Secured Claims as set forth in the Plan, holders of such Claims shall file releases of their liens with the appropriate government agencies (the “Release Procedures”).  In the event that the foregoing Claimants do not complete the Release Procedures, the Order confirming this Plan shall grant the Reorganized Debtor power of attorney authority for the limited purpose of implementing and consummating the Release Procedures.
 
 
3.
Composition of the Reorganized Debtor and Post-Confirmation Management.
 
On the Effective Date, all of the Debtors other than USDC, pursuant to applicable state law, will be merged into USDC, and all of the Debtors other than USDC will cease to exist.  The Reorganized Debtor will remain a Delaware corporation.  The Reorganized Debtor’s Board of Directors (the “Reorganized Debtor’s Board”) after the Effective Date will have six (6) members.  The initial members of the Reorganized Debtor’s Board shall be Robert Y. Lee, Chairman, Michael Drace, Timothy Rand, Martin J. Brill, Michael J. Smith andAlex Bond, the Reorganized Debtor’s new Chief Executive Officer.  See, Exhibit “H” to the Disclosure Statement for details on the Reorganized Debtor’s Board.
 
The management of the Reorganized Debtor immediately following the Effective Date will remain the same except that, on the Effective Date, Alex Bond will be employed as Chief Executive Officer and will also be appointed to serve as a member of the Reorganized Debtor’s Board of Directors.  Upon Mr. Bond’s appointment, Mr. Lee will no longer be Chief Executive Officer but will remain as Chairman of the Reorganized Debtor’s Board.  It is further anticipated that, within one month of the Effective Date, Kevin Lyng will be employed as the Reorganized Debtor’s Chief Operating Officer.  Although not an officer, Riaz Chauthani will continue to serve as director of Mergers and Acquisitions.  See, Exhibit “H” to the Disclosure Statement for details on the Reorganized Debtor’s management.   Finally, it is anticipated that a new Chief Financial Officer will be selected by Mr. Bond and Mr. Lyng and employed by the Reorganized Debtor after Confirmation, but prior to the Subsequent Public Offering.

On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor reserves the right and shall be authorized to pay Mr. Lee all salary and expenses deferred during the Chapter 11 Case as a result of that certain Stipulation to Appoint Brian Weiss as Chief Restructuring Officer and that certain Stipulation To Appoint Charles T. Moffitt As Debtors’ Chief Restructuring Officer, but only after the Reorganized Debtor has actually deposited the Cash amounts for the Professional Notes and for the Class 20 Claim holders under the Plan.
 
All persons designated pursuant to this section shall be authorized to assume their offices as of the Effective Date and shall be authorized to continue to serve in such capacities thereafter pending further action of the Reorganized Debtor’s Board or stockholders of the Reorganized Debtor in accordance with applicable state law and the Reorganized Debtor’s then-existing bylaws and charter.
 
 
4.
Disbursing Agent.
 
The Reorganized Debtor will act as the Disbursing Agent for purposes of making all Distributions provided for under this Plan.  The Disbursing Agent will serve without bond and will receive no compensation for distribution services rendered and expenses incurred pursuant to this Plan. The Disbursing Agent may employ others, such as its transfer agent, to assist it in making Distributions under this Plan.
 
 
5.
Objections to Claims.
 
The Claims bar date in these cases was August 13, 2010.  Attached as Exhibit “E” to the Disclosure Statement is the Claim Chart, which identifies all of the Debtors’ scheduled Claims and all Proofs of Claim or Interest which have been filed against the Debtors.  Following Confirmation of the Plan, the Reorganized Debtor shall be the sole entity with the standing and authority to file objections to Claims in these Cases, and shall have the right to file objections to all Claims which are inconsistent with the Debtors’ books and records unless the Reorganized Debtor deems the inconsistency to be insignificant.  The Reorganized Debtor will have the authority in the reasonable exercise of its business judgment to settle or compromise any Claim following the Effective Date by submitting a stipulation to the Bankruptcy Court without a notice or hearing thereon.  As provided by Section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Court may estimate any contingent or unliquidated Disputed Claim for purposes of Confirmation of the Plan.  The Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction over the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtor, these Cases and these Estates to resolve and to adjudicate any and all such objections to Claims which are commenced or continued following the Confirmation of the Plan.  Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtor of any rights of setoff or recoupment, or of any defense, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtor may have with respect to any Claim, or of any bases that the Reorganized Debtor may have to object to any such Claim.
 
 
41

 
 
Any Proof of Claim or Interest that is filed with the Bankruptcy Court and/or served on the Debtors or Reorganized Debtor after the Effective Date will be deemed invalid unless the Claimant files a motion for leave of Court to file such Claim.
 
The Debtors specifically reserve the right to file objections to any and all Claims set forth in Exhibit “E” to the Disclosure Statement.  The Order confirming the Plan shall not be res judicata, collateral estoppel, or other bar to the Reorganized Debtor’s or other party in interest’s right to object to such Claims after the Effective Date.
 
 
6.
Payment Upon Resolution of Disputed Claims.
 
The Reorganized Debtor will not make any payment or distribute any stock to the holder of a Disputed Claim until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.  Pending a resolution of the Disputed Claim, the Reorganized Debtor will create a reserve account (the “Reserve Account”) which will contain proposed distributions based on the Disputed Claims.  Within sixty (60) days after a Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, the Reorganized Debtor will make a payment or distribute stock to the holder of such Allowed Claim from the Reserve Account in an amount equal to what the holder of such Allowed Claim would have received if the Claim had been allowed in such amount as of the Effective Date.  In the event that the Disputed Claim is disallowed, that portion of the Reserve Account which was designated for payment of the Disputed Claim will be transferred to Allowed Claims in accordance with the treatment set forth in Class 20 above.
 
 
42

 
 
 
7.
Investigation and Prosecution of Claims and Causes of Action Including Avoidance Actions.
 
Under the Plan, the Debtors’ current General Unsecured Creditors will receive some Cash but mainly New Common Stock.  Based on the foregoing, any recoveries from preference litigation would be retained by the Reorganized Debtor and only indirectly benefit the Debtors’ current General Unsecured Creditors.  The Debtors believe that such preference litigation would cause substantial ill-will against the Reorganized Debtor in the dry cleaning industry, which the Debtors believe would negatively interfere with the Reorganized Debtors’ business operations and reorganization efforts.  As a result, the Debtors have determined that neither the Debtors nor the Reorganized Debtor will pursue any preference litigation based on monetary transfers, except for the preference litigation pending against Bell Hop Cleaners of California, Inc., and Team Equipment, Inc. and their affiliates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reorganized Debtor, as the representative of the Debtors’ Estates and for the benefit of the Estates, shall have the right to pursue any preference actions based on non-monetary transfers, including, without limitations, transfers of security interests to creditors.  Additionally, the Reorganized Debtor, as the representative of the Debtors’ Estates and for the benefit of the Estates, shall have the right to pursue any and all other causes of action available to the Debtors’ Estates including, but not limited to, cross claims for contribution, indemnity, etc. that the Debtors may have against certain professionals or other parties relating to the Mercer Notes.
 
The Debtors specifically reserve the right to commence any actions against Creditors set forth in Exhibit “E” to the Disclosure Statement.  An order confirming the Plan shall not be res judicata, collateral estoppel, or other bar to the Reorganized Debtor’s right to commence such actions after the Effective Date.
 
 
8.
Payment of Professional Fees and Expenses Incurred Post Effective Date
 
The Reorganized Debtor shall be entitled to employ such Professionals that the Reorganized Debtor deems appropriate and to pay the fees and expenses incurred by such Professionals in the ordinary course without any further order of the Bankruptcy Court.  
 
 
43

 
 
E.
Other Provisions of the Plan.
 
 
1.
Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.
 
(a)           Assumptions.
 
Attached to the Disclosure Statement as Exhibit “B” is a list of all of the Debtors’ executory contracts and unexpired leases which the Debtors intend to assume on the Effective Date with the obligations of the Debtors to the other parties to such executory contracts and unexpired leases to become obligations of the Reorganized Debtor.  Also set forth in Exhibit “B” is an itemization of the defaults which the Debtors contend exist and must be cured in connection with the Debtors’ assumption of such executory contracts and unexpired leases (the “Cure Amounts”), unless the other parties to such executory contracts and unexpired leases agree to the contrary.  The Debtors estimate that the total Cure Amounts that the Debtors will be required to pay on the Effective Date will be approximately $75,000, based on agreements reached with parties to such contracts, with the balance of the Cure Amounts to be paid over a period of up to 36 months.  The Confirmation Order will constitute a Bankruptcy Court order approving the Debtors’ assumption of all such executory contracts and unexpired leases and fixing the Cure Amounts for each such executory contract and unexpired lease in the amounts asserted by the Debtors as set forth in Exhibit “B”.
 
(b)           Rejections.
 
On the Effective Date, all executory contracts and unexpired leases set forth on Exhibit “C” to the Disclosure Statement and all executory contracts and unexpired leases not previously assumed or set forth on Exhibit “B” to the Disclosure Statement will be deemed rejected by the Debtors, and the Court order confirming this Plan will constitute a Court order approving the Debtors’ rejection of all such executory contracts and unexpired leases.  Additionally, all executory contracts and unexpired leases to which the Debtors are a party or to which any of the Debtors is a party and which have not been previously assumed or set forth in Exhibit “B” will also be deemed rejected, and the Court order confirming this Plan will constitute a Court order approving the Debtors’ rejection of all such executory contracts and unexpired leases.
 
 
44

 
 
(c)           Cures.
 
The Cure Amounts that the Debtors believe is required is set forth on Exhibit “B” to the Disclosure Statement.  Any party who wished to object to the Debtors’ assumption of any of the unexpired leases or executory contracts set forth in Exhibit “B” under this Plan and/or to the Cure Amounts of any defaults the Debtors believe exist must have filed a written objection on or before 5:00 p.m. PST on May 12, 2011 with the Bankruptcy Court, and served such objection on counsel to the Debtors.  See, Pages 7 and 8 of the Disclosure Statement for more details.  The Bankruptcy Court may deem the failure of any party to file such a timely objection to constitute consent to the Debtors’ assumption of the unexpired leases and executory contracts set forth on Exhibit “B” and to the Cure Amounts of any defaults the Debtors must cure in connection with the Debtors’ assumption of these unexpired leases and executory contracts.
 
THE BAR DATE FOR FILING A PROOF OF CLAIM BASED ON A CLAIM ARISING FROM THE REJECTION OF ANY EXECUTORY CONTRACT OR UNEXPIRED LEASE WHICH IS REJECTED ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE SHALL BE THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE.  Any Claim based on the rejection of an unexpired lease or executory contract will be barred if the Proof of Claim is not timely filed, unless the Bankruptcy Court orders otherwise.  Any Allowed Claim resulting from the rejection of an unexpired lease or executory contract will be classified and treated as a Class 20 Allowed Claim.
 
 
2.
Changes in Rates Subject to Regulatory Commission Approval.
 
The Debtors are not subject to governmental regulatory commission approval of their rates.

c.           To determine the extent, validity and priority of any lien asserted against property of the Debtors or property of the Debtors’ Estates;

e.           To determine (to the extent necessary) any and all applications for allowance of compensation and reimbursement of expenses of Professionals for the period on or before the Effective Date;
 
f.            To determine any request for payment of administrative expenses;
 
g.           To determine motions for the rejection, assumption, or assignment of executory contracts or unexpired leases filed before the Effective Date and the allowance of any Claims resulting therefrom;
 
h.           To determine all applications, motions, adversary proceedings, contested matters, and any other litigated matters instituted during the pendency of these Cases whether before, on, or after the Effective Date including claims, causes of action, and avoidance actions, and the Reorganized Debtor shall have the right to commence any claims, causes of action and avoidance actions after the Effective Date and to continue with the prosecution of any such claims, causes of action and avoidance actions which were commenced but not completed by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date;

l.            To issue such orders in aid of consummation of this Plan and the Confirmation Order, notwithstanding any otherwise applicable nonbankruptcy law, with respect to any person or entity, to the fullest extent authorized by the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules; and
 
m.          To enter a final decree closing the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases.
 
 
4.
Dissolution of the Committee.
 
On the Effective Date, the Committee, to the extent that it serves as the Official Unsecured Creditors Committee in these Cases, shall be dissolved and its members shall be released and discharged from all rights and duties arising from or related to the Cases.

d.           Effect a quasi-reorganization for accounting purposes.
 
e.           Issue shares to carry out any transaction contemplated in this Plan without solicitation of or notice to shareholders.
 
f.           Take all action necessary and appropriate to carry out the terms of this Plan.

48

G.
Exemption from Registration Under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
In reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and of state and local securities laws afforded by Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Debtor’s New Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Plan on and after the Effective Date need not be registered under the Securities Act or any state or local securities laws.  The Reorganized Debtor’s common stock will not be subject to any statutory restrictions on transferability and may be resold by any holder without registration under the Securities Act or other federal securities laws pursuant to the exemption provided by section 4(1) of the Securities Act, unless the holder is an “underwriter” with respect to such securities, as that term is defined in Section 1145(b) of the Code.  Entities who believe they may be “underwriters” under the definition contained in Section 1145 of the Code are advised to consult their own counsel with respect to the availability of the exemption provided by Section 1145.  All stock in the Reorganized Debtor to be issued under this Plan shall be subject to standard and customary underwriter lockup provisions, which may restrict the transferability and resale of such stock.
 
H.
Closing of Register for Existing Common Stock.
 
At the close of business on the Record Date, the security register for the common stock of USDC shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registrations of transfer or other changes in holders on the books of the stock transfer agent, or USDC, and the Reorganized Debtor shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of the common stock of USDC occurring thereafter (but shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal with, for all purposes under the Plan, except as otherwise provided herein, those holders reflected on the security register on the Record Date).
 
 
49

 
 
I.
Miscellaneous Issues Regarding Plan Distribution.
 
 
1.
No Fractional Distributions or Shares Issued.
 
No distributions in fractions of hundredths of U.S. Dollars ($0.00’s) (i.e. cents) shall be issued.  If the Distribution amount allocated to an Allowed Claim at the time of a Distribution hereunder would include fractions of cents, the amount to be distributed to the holder of such Claim shall be rounded down to the highest integral number of cents in the applicable Claim amount.  No fractional shares of New Common Stock shall be issued and all fractional shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.  Holders of Allowed Claims who would be entitled to fractional shares but for this provision shall receive no consideration therefor because such amount will be de minimus.
 
 
2.
De Minimus Cash Distributions.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, no Cash Distributions shall be made on account of any Allowed Claim if the Cash Distribution amount is less than $10.00.  Holders of Allowed Claims who would otherwise be entitled to a Distribution in an amount of less than $10.00 shall receive no Distribution on account of such Allowed Claim because the value of such Allowed Claim would be de minimus and the administrative costs associated with processing and mailing the Distribution to the holder of such Allowed Claim would likely exceed the amount of the Distribution.  No Distribution of less than 10 shares of New Common Stock shall be made to any holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest, as such a Distribution would be de minimus.
 
 
3.
Name and Address of Holder of Claim or Interest.
 
For purposes of all distributions under the Plan, the Disbursing Agent will be entitled to rely on the name and address of the holder of each Allowed Claim or Interest as shown on any timely filed proof of claim and, if none, as shown on the Debtors’ bankruptcy schedules, as amended from time to time, except to the extent that the Disbursing Agent first receives adequate written notice of a transfer or change of address, properly executed by the holder or its authorized agent.
 
 
50

 
 
 
4.
Unclaimed Property.
 
Any property to be distributed to Creditors or Interest holders under this Plan shall be forfeited to the Reorganized Debtor if it is not claimed by the entity entitled to it before the later of one (1) year after the Effective Date or sixty (60) days after an order allowing the Claim or Interest of that entity becomes a final order.  Any securities returned pursuant to this provision shall be canceled.
 
IV.      EFFECT OF CONFIRMATION OF THIS PLAN
 
A.
Discharge.
 
On the Plan Effective Date, the Debtors will receive a discharge under the Plan pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code because there has not been a liquidation of all or substantially all of the property of the Debtors’ Estates.  Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1141(d)(1)(A), Confirmation of the Plan will discharge “the debtor from any debt that arose before the date of such confirmation, and any debt of a kind specified in section 502(g), 502(h), or 502(i) of this title, whether or not – (i) a proof of claim based on such debt is filed or deemed filed under section 501 of this title; (ii) such claim is allowed under section 502 of this title; or (iii) the holder of such claim has accepted the plan …”.  11 U.S.C. §§ 1141(d)(1)(A)(i), (ii) and (iii).  In other words, Confirmation of the Plan will effectuate a discharge as to all debts or liabilities, whether contingent, unliquidated, disputed, known or unknown, that were incurred or arose before Confirmation of the Plan.  This includes all types of Claims and obligations arising out of and/or including, but not limited to, (i) all causes of action under state and Federal law (e.g., breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, securities violations, etc.), (ii) trade payables, (iii) landlord Claims, (iv) tax Claims including interest, (v) environmental claims, and (vi) any other known or unknown Claim from any debt arising prior to Plan Confirmation.
 
 
51

 
 
This Plan shall bind the holders of all Claims whether or not they accept this Plan.  The rights afforded in this Plan and the treatment of all Claims therein shall be in complete satisfaction, discharge and release of all Claims against the Debtors or any of their assets or properties of any nature whatsoever except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan.  Except as otherwise set forth in this Plan, all Claims shall be forever satisfied, discharged and released in full on the Effective Date, and all holders of Claims shall be forever precluded and enjoined from asserting Claims against the Reorganized Debtor or any of the Debtors.  Any litigation pending pre-petition and/or initiated post-petition in any court other than the Bankruptcy Court where relief from stay was not obtained from the Bankruptcy Court shall be deemed discharged upon Plan Confirmation.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Plan does not discharge the Retained Claims (as defined in the Gamet Settlement Agreement) and the Gamet Parties are not precluded or enjoined from asserting such Retained Claims as set forth in the Gamet Settlement Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Plan does not discharge the Professional Notes or the balance due to the Class 20 Claim holders under the Plan.
 
B.
Continuing Stay/Injunction.
 
The automatic stay is lifted upon Confirmation as to property of the Estates.  However, the stay continues to prohibit collection or enforcement of pre-petition Claims against the Reorganized Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor’s property until the earlier of the date:  (1) the relevant bankruptcy Case is closed, or (2) the relevant bankruptcy Case is dismissed.  Therefore, all parties bound by this Plan shall take no action with respect to, and are enjoined from, collecting or enforcing their pre-petition Claims against the Reorganized Debtor as set forth herein, and as otherwise provided by operation of law, until the earlier of the date:  (1) the relevant bankruptcy Case is closed, or (2) the relevant bankruptcy case is dismissed.
 
The Confirmation Order shall enjoin the prosecution, whether directly, derivatively or otherwise, of any Claim, obligation, suit, judgment, damage, demand, debt, right, cause of action, liability or Interest released, discharged or terminated pursuant to this Plan.
 
 
52

 
 
Except as provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, as of the Effective Date, all entities that have held, currently hold or may hold a Claim or other debt or liability that is discharged or an interest or other right of an Equity Security Holder that is impaired pursuant to the terms of this Plan are permanently enjoined from taking any of the following actions against the Debtors, the  Estates, the Committee, the Reorganized Debtor or their property on account of any such discharged Claims, debts or liabilities or terminated Interests or rights: (i) commencing or continuing, in any manner or in any place, any action or other proceeding; (ii) enforcing, attaching, collecting or recovering in any manner any judgment, award, decree or order; (iii) creating, perfecting or enforcing any lien or encumbrance; (iv) asserting a setoff, right of subrogation or recoupment of any kind against any debt, liability or obligation due to the Debtors and (v) commencing or continuing any action in any manner, in any place that does not comply with or is inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan.
 
By accepting distribution pursuant to this Plan, each holder of an Allowed Claim receiving a Distribution pursuant to this Plan will be deemed to have specifically consented to the injunctions set forth in this Section.
 
C.
Revesting of Property in the Reorganized Debtor.
 
Except as provided elsewhere in this Plan, the Confirmation of this Plan revests all of the property of the Debtors’ estates in the Reorganized Debtor, including, but not limited to, any Claims against the Gamet Parties, Winthrop Couchot and any party listed on Exhibit “E” to the Disclosure Statement.  From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor may operate its business and may use, acquire, and dispose of property, including payment of all business expenses and professional fees and expenses, and compromise and settle any claims or causes of actions without supervision or consent of the Bankruptcy Court, and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules.
 
The Reorganized Debtor shall have, retain, reserve and be entitled to assert all claims, causes of action, rights of setoff and other legal or equitable defenses that the Debtors had immediately prior to the Petition Date as fully as if the Debtors’ bankruptcy Cases had not been commenced; and all of the Reorganized Debtor’s legal and equitable rights respecting any such claims which are not specifically waived, extinguished, or relinquished by the Plan may be asserted after the Effective Date by the Reorganized Debtor.
 
/ / /
 
 
53

 
 
D.
Modification of this Plan.
 
The Debtors may modify this Plan at any time before Confirmation.  However, the Bankruptcy Court may require a new disclosure statement and/or re-voting on this Plan if the Debtors modify this Plan before Confirmation.  The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtor, as the case may be, may also seek to modify this Plan at any time after Confirmation of the Plan so long as (1) the Plan has not been substantially consummated, and (2) the Bankruptcy Court authorizes the proposed modifications after notice and a hearing.
 
E.
Post-Confirmation Status Reports.
 
Until final decrees closing the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases are entered, the Reorganized Debtor shall file a consolidated quarterly status report with the Bankruptcy Court explaining what progress has been made toward consummation of the confirmed Plan and shall serve such status reports upon the OUST and the Post-Effective Date Parties.
 
F.
Post-Confirmation Conversion/Dismissal.
 
A Creditor or any other party in interest may bring a motion to convert or dismiss the Cases under Section 1112(b) of the Bankruptcy Code after the Plan is confirmed if there is a default in performing the Plan.  If the Bankruptcy Court orders the Cases converted to Chapter 7 after the Plan is confirmed, then all property that had been property of the Chapter 11 Estates, and that has not been disbursed pursuant to the Plan, will revest in the Chapter 7 Estates, and the automatic stay will be reimposed upon the revested property, but only to the extent that relief from stay was not previously authorized by the Bankruptcy Court during these Cases.  The Confirmation Order may also be revoked under very limited circumstances.  The Bankruptcy Court may revoke the Confirmation Order if it was procured by fraud and if a party in interest brings an adversary proceeding to revoke confirmation within 180 days after the entry of the Confirmation Order.
 
G.
Final Decree.
