ARTICLE III.

CLASSIFICATION AND TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS

As required by the Code, the Plan classifies Claims and Interests in various Classes according to their right to priority of payments as provided in the Code. The Plan states whether each Class of Claims or Interests is impaired or unimpaired. The Plan provides the treatment each Class will receive under the Plan. The following are the Classes in this Plan:

A. Unclassified Claims.

Certain types of Claims are not placed into voting Classes; instead they are unclassified. They are not considered impaired and they do not vote on the Plan because they are automatically entitled to specific treatment provided for them in the Code. As such, the Debtor has not placed the following Claims in a Class. The treatment of these Claims is provided below.

1. Administrative Claims.

a. Treatment.

Unless otherwise agreed to by the holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim and the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, each holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim shall receive Cash equal to the unpaid portion of such Allowed Administrative Claim: (I) on the later of (x) the Effective Date, and (y) the date an order of the Bankruptcy Court allowing the Administrative Claim becomes a Final Order, or (II) as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

556423v.4

b. Bar Date For Administrative Claims.

All applications, including final applications, for compensation of Professionals for services rendered and for reimbursement of expenses incurred on or before the Effective Date, and any other request for compensation by any Person for making a substantial contribution in the Case, and all other requests for payment of an Administrative Claim incurred before the Effective Date under sections 503(b), 507(a)(1) or 507(b) of the Code (except only for Claims under 28 U.S.C. section 1930) shall be filed no later than sixty (60) days after the Effective Date.

As to other administrative expenses, Creditors shall file such requests for an administrative expense payment with the Bankruptcy Court and serve on the Reorganized Debtor and United States Trustee no later than sixty (60) days after the Effective Date or by such other bar date as the Bankruptcy Court may set. Holders of claims for the provision of ordinary-course goods and services post-petition to the Debtor need not file requests for payment of administrative expenses.

Any Administrative Claim not filed or submitted as explained above within the deadlines set forth herein shall be forever barred, and any Creditor that is required to file a request for payment of an administrative expense and that does not file such request by the applicable bar date shall be forever barred from asserting such Claim or request against the Debtor, the Estate or the Reorganized Debtor.

2. Priority Tax Claims.

Each holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim shall receive Cash equal to the amount of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim on the later of (x) the Effective Date, and (y) the date an order of the Bankruptcy Court allowing such Priority Tax Claim becomes a Final Order, unless otherwise agreed to by the holder and the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable. Holders of Allowed Priority Tax Claims shall not be entitled to receive any payment on account of interest that accrued

556423v.4

after the Petition Date on, or penalties with respect to or arising in connection with, such Allowed Priority Tax Claims, except as specifically allowed by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court.

B. Classified Claims And Interests.

A Claim or Interest shall be deemed classified in a particular Class only to the extent the Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of the Class and shall be deemed classified in a different Class to the extent that any remainder of such Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of such different Class. A Claim or Interest is classified in a particular Class regardless of whether the Claim or Interest is an Allowed Claim or Interest in that Class, or only asserted as such, but only to the extent that it has not been paid, released, disallowed or otherwise satisfied. The treatment with respect to each Class of Claims and Interests provided for in this Article III shall be in full and complete satisfaction and release of such Claims and Interests. The following Classes appear in this Plan:

The Debtor shall file a schedule of executory contracts to be assumed, if any, as Exhibit "B" to the Plan Supplement.

B. Procedural Issues. The Plan shall constitute a motion to reject any executory contracts and unexpired leases not identified in the Plan Supplement Exhibit “B” as executory contracts or unexpired leases to be assumed, and the Debtor and Reorganized Debtor shall have no further liability thereunder. The entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of any such rejections pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy

556423v.4

Code and that the rejection thereof is in the best interest of the Debtor, its Estate and all parties in interest in the Case.

C. Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases Claims created by the rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases pursuant to Article IV. A. of the Plan, or the expiration or termination of any executory contract or unexpired lease prior to the Effective Date, must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on the Reorganized Debtor no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date.

All such Claims shall, as of the Effective Date, be subject to the permanent injunction set forth in this Plan. Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, all such Claims that are timely filed as provided herein shall be treated as General Unsecured Claims under the Plan.

D. Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

1. Cure of Defaults. Any provisions or terms of the Debtor’s executory contracts or unexpired leases to be assumed pursuant to the Plan that are, or may be, alleged to be in default, shall be satisfied solely by Cure or by an waiver of Cure agreed upon between the Debtor and applicable counterparty. Except with respect to executory contracts or unexpired leases in which the Debtor and the applicable counterparties have stipulated in writing to payment of Cure, all requests for payment of Cure must be Filed on or before the Cure Bar Date. Any request for payment of Cure that is not timely Filed shall be disallowed automatically and forever barred from assertion and shall not be enforceable against the Reorganized Debtor, without the need for any objection by the Reorganized Debtor or further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and any such Claim for Cure shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and

556423v.4

discharged, notwithstanding anything included in the Schedules or in any proof of Claim to the contrary; provided, however, that nothing shall prevent the Reorganized Debtor from paying any Cure despite the failure of the relevant counterparty to File such request for payment of such Cure. The Reorganized Debtor also may settle any Cure without further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

2. Objections to Cure. If the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, object to any request for Cure or any other matter related to assumption, the Bankruptcy Court shall determine the Allowed amount of such Cure and any related issues. If there is a dispute regarding such Cure, the ability of the Reorganized Debtor 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 such Cure shall occur as soon as reasonably practicable after entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute, approving such assumption (and, if applicable, assignment), or as may be agreed upon by the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor and the counterparty to the executory contract or unexpired lease. Any counterparty to an executory contract or unexpired lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption of any executory contract or unexpired lease will be deemed to have consented to such assumption. The Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, reserve the right, either to reject or nullify the assumption of any executory contract or unexpired lease no later than thirty (30) days after a Final Order determining the Cure or any request for adequate assurance of future performance required to assume such executory contract or unexpired lease.

3. Release and Satisfaction of Debtor upon Assumption. Assumption of any executory contract or unexpired lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise and after satisfaction of any Cure, shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any 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 executory contract or unexpired lease at any time prior to the effective date of assumption.

556423v.4

E. Reservation 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 Debtor that any such contract or lease is in fact an executory contract or unexpired lease or that the Reorganized Debtor has 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 Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall have thirty (30) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.

ARTICLE V.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Reorganized Debtor may reincorporate from and after the Effective Date in a jurisdiction other than Delaware as Holdco may in its sole discretion select.

B.	Directors/Officers of the Debtor on the Effective Date; Plan Committee.

1. Release and Discharge of Duties and Obligations of Current Directors and Officers. On the Effective Date, the persons then acting as directors and officers of the Debtor shall be released and discharged from all further authority, duties, responsibilities and obligations relating to and arising from the Debtor or the Case. Nothing contained in this Artible V.B shall

556423v.4

release the Debtor’s officers and directors from claims for actions taken before the Effective Date other than as provided in the Plan.

2. Plan Committee. As of the Effective Date, the Plan Committee shall be created and shall consist of two members of the New Board and one member who is not a member of the New Board identified in the Plan Supplement. The Plan Committee shall oversee and have decision-making authority regarding any litigation and/or settlement of Causes of Action, including the FDIC Causes of Action, and the administration of Distributions. The fiduciary duties of the members of the Plan Committee (in their capacity as Plan Committee members) shall run to all parties entitled to Distributions under the Plan, whether or not such beneficiaries have elected the Cash Election Entitlement. The Reorganized Debtor shall seek approval of any settlement of a Material Cause of Action from the Bankruptcy Court by the filing of an appropriate motion, and such approval shall be governed by Fed.R.Bankr.P. 9019, shall only come after a hearing, upon notice to all parties requesting service pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002 or to such Entities as the Court may order.

C.	Cancellation of TOPrS Debentures, TOPrS, and Equity Interests

2. Limited Survival of TOPrS Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, (a) the TOPrS Documents will continue in effect solely for purposes of (i) allowing the applicable TOPrS Indenture Trustee to receive and make the Distributions to be made

556423v.4

pursuant to this Plan on account of TOPrS Unsecured Claims, from Distributions received from the Reorganized Debtor in accordance with this Plan, and (ii) permitting such TOPrS Indenture Trustee to maintain any rights or Liens it may have under the applicable TOPrS Documents to receive TOPrS Indenture Trustee Fees and indemnification, provided that the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, will not have any obligation to any TOPrS Indenture Trustee for payment of any such TOPrS Indenture Trustee Fees or indemnifications except as otherwise provided in this Plan, and (b) the TOPrS Debentures issued under such agreements will continue in effect solely for the purposes of permitting Holders thereof to receive Distributions from the applicable TOPrS Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Plan.

3. Limited Preservation of TOPrS Indenture Trustee Rights to Charging Liens. To the extent that, under the TOPrS Documents, the TOPrS Indenture Trustees are entitled to charging liens on account of unpaid TOPrS Indenture Trustee Fees, recoveries under the Plan will be adjusted so that sufficient Cash distributions are available to allow the TOPrS Indenture Trustees to exercise such charging liens against Cash distributed under the Plan.

4. Payment of Holdco Fees. Subject to the process described below, as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall pay the Holdco Fees. As a precondition to payment of any Holdco Fees, Holdco shall, after the Effective Date, submit to the Bankruptcy Court its invoices and an application for payment of such Holdco Fees in accordance with this Plan. The Bankruptcy Court shall review each application for payment of Holdco Fees for reasonableness, as required under section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code. After the Bankruptcy Court has approved an application for payment of Holdco Fees as reasonable, the Reorganized Debtor shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, reimburse Holdco in Cash for such Holdco Fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and unless Holdco in its sole discretion elects otherwise, payment of the Holdco Fees shall not reduce the recovery, if any, of the FDIC in connection with any Allowed

556423v.4

FDIC Non-Priority Claims, and the FDIC will be entitled to receive the same distributions it would otherwise be entitled to receive absent payment of the Holdco Fees.

D.	Reorganized Debtor Securities

1. New Series A Common Stock. The Reorganized Debtor’s equity interests shall consist of New Series A Common Stock, and, if the Debtor elects (if necessary to cause Section 382(l)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code to apply to the Plan), the New Series B Common Stock, on account of part of the Cash Election Entitlement. On the Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Reorganized Debtor shall issue or reserve for issuance all securities to be issued pursuant to the terms of the Plan, without need for any further corporate or shareholder action. Shares of New Series A Common Stock and the New Series B Common Stock on account of the Cash Election Entitlement, depending on the election of the applicable Holder of a particular General Unsecured Claim, shall be issued Pro Rata to (a) Holders of Allowed TOPrS Unsecured Claims, (b) Holders of Allowed FDIC Non-Priority Claims, and (c) Holders of Allowed Other Unsecured Claims.

2. Optional Issuance of New Series B Common Stock (Separate Series or Classes of Common Stock). To the extent the Reorganized Debtor chooses (if necessary to cause Section 382(l)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code to apply to the Plan) to issue a the New Series B Common Stock as one or more separate series or classes of common stock on account of part of the Cash Election Entitlement, each Holder who elects to receive the Cash Election Entitlement:

(a) shall be entitled on account of such New Series B Common Stock to a pro rata share (such share to be calculated based on such Holder’s number of shares of such New Series B Common Stock divided by the total outstanding shares as of the Effective Date of New Series A Common Stock and New Series B Common Stock issued to Holders who elect to receive the Cash Election Entitlement) of any Net Free Cash that constitutes net proceeds of the FDIC Causes of

556423v.4

Action, pursuant to redemption upon the terms set forth in the Reorganized Debtor’s charter upon entry of a Final Order resolving the FDIC Causes of Action; and

(b) shall also be entitled to a right of payment equal to such holder’s Pro Rata share of Net Free Cash that does not constitute the proceeds of the FDIC Cause of Action.

3. Optional Waiver of the Cash Entitlement Election. At the option of Holdco, in order to and as necessary to comply with and satisfy the requirements of section 382(l)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code, Holders of Allowed Claims who make the Cash Entitlement Election may be deemed to have not made the Cash Entitlement Election on a Pro Rata basis and instead shall receive, to such extent, its Pro Rata Distribution of New Series A Common Stock.

4. Limitation on Management and Control over the Reorganized Debtor. If the Effective Date occurs prior to the FDIC Priority Claim Determination, the holders of the New Series A Common Stock shall have and shall exercise no management or control over the affairs of the Reorganized Debtor until there is a Final Order resolving the FDIC Priority Claim Determination and holding that the FDIC Priority Claim is disallowed.

5. Dividends, Other Attributes.

a. Dividends. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law or in the corporate documents that will be included in the Plan Supplement, the holders of New Series A Common Stock and the New Series B Common Stock, if any, shall share ratably in all dividends and other distributions, whether in respect of liquidation or dissolution (voluntary or involuntary) or otherwise.

b. Other Attributes of New Series A and B Common Stock Shares of New Series A Common Stock and the New Series B Common Stock, if any, shall have conversion rights, redemption rights, preemptive rights, transfer restrictions and other rights, responsibilities and restrictions typically associated with common stock, all as set forth in the Plan Supplement, in order

556423v.4

to preserve and maximize the value of all tax attributes that are or will be held by the Reorganized Debtor from and after the Effective Date.

c. Redemption of Common Stock for Tax Purposes. The New Board may elect to redeem all shares of New Series A Common Stock and New Series B Common Stock held by a particular stockholder if the New Board determines in good faith, based on the advice of tax counsel or other tax advisors, that doing so is likely to be advantageous to such stockholder from a tax standpoint due to its jurisdiction of organization or residency or other reasons. Prior to making a final determination to exercise the Reorganized Debtor’s redemption right under this paragraph, the Reorganized Debtor shall send a written notice to such stockholder (at the notice address appearing in the Reorganized Debtor’s records) advising the stockholder of the Reorganized Debtor’s intention to exercise its redemption right. In the event that the stockholder notifies the Reorganized Debtor in writing (within 20 days after the date of the Reorganized Debtor’s notice) that such stockholder objects to the redemption of its shares, then the Reorganized Debtor shall not exercise the redemption right. In the event that the stockholder does not respond to the Reorganized Debtor’s notice within 20 days after the date of the Reorganized Debtor’s notice (or the stockholder notifies the Reorganized Debtor that it approves or does not object to such redemption), then the New Board shall be entitled to make a final determination to exercise the redemption right. In the event that the New Board makes such a final determination, then the redemption shall take place on a date determined by the New Board (but such redemption date shall be no later than 30 days after the New Board’s final determination) and shall be at a price equal to the Fair Market Value Price. The purchase price payable in any such redemption shall be paid in cash or by check on the closing date. Such redemption shall be effective on the closing date of the redemption regardless of whether or not the stockholder participates in the closing or delivers his or its stock certificate to the Reorganized Debtor for cancellation.

556423v.4

E.	Exemption from the Registration Requirements of the Securities Act; Investment Company Act

1. Exemption from Securities Act. The offering, issuance, and distribution of securities pursuant to the Plan shall be exempt from the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act as one or more private placements pursuant to any and all applicable exemptions, including, as applicable, exemptions provided by Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, based on the number of creditors receiving securities under the Plan, the Reorganized Debtor’s belief as to their status as accredited investors, and other factors. As a result, the securities issued under the Plan likely will be “restricted securities” for purposes of the federal securities laws. The Reorganized Debtor also reserves all rights to rely, if necessary in its sole discretion, on other exemptions to the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act.

2. Investment Company Act. In addition, the Reorganized Debtor expects to rely on one or more of the exemptions contained in the Investment Company Act, which exemptions may include, without limitation, exemptions under Sections 3(c)1 and 3(c)7. In order to ensure that the Reorganized Debtor qualifies for all applicable exemptions under Investment Company Act (including, without limitation, Section 3(c)(7) if the Reorganized Debtor relies on such exemption), then all holders of the Reorganized Debtor’s equity interests will be required to be “Qualified Purchasers” and/or “Accredited Investors” as defined under the applicable federal laws unless and until the Board of Directors determines otherwise.

F.	Restructuring Transactions

On the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Reorganized Debtor 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: (1) the execution and delivery of appropriate agreements or other documents of merger, consolidation or reorganization

556423v.4

containing terms that are consistent with the terms of the Plan and that satisfy the requirements of applicable law; (2) the execution and delivery of appropriate instruments of transfer, assignment, assumption or delegation of any property, right, liability, duty or obligation on terms consistent with the terms of the Plan; (3) the filing of appropriate certificates of incorporation, charter, merger or consolidation with the appropriate governmental authorities pursuant to applicable law; and (4) all other actions that the Reorganized Debtor determines are necessary or appropriate.

G.	Corporate Action

Each of the matters provided for by the Plan involving the corporate structure of the Debtor or corporate, financing or related actions to be taken by or required of the Reorganized Debtor shall, as of the Effective Date, be deemed to have occurred and be effective as provided in the Plan (except to the extent otherwise indicated), and shall be authorized, approved, and, to the extent taken prior to the Effective Date, ratified in all respects without any requirement of further action by Holders of Claims or Equity Interests, the directors of the Debtor or any other Entity. Without limiting the foregoing, such actions will include: the adoption and (as applicable) filing of amended and restated certificate of incorporation, charter, bylaws and other governance documents; the appointment of officers and (as applicable) directors for the Reorganized Debtor; the issuance of the New Series A Common Stock and any security or instrument issued by the Reorganized Debtor on account of part of the Cash Election Entitlement, and all related documents and instruments (as applicable). The Reorganized Debtor shall enter into such agreements and amend their corporate governance documents to the extent necessary to implement the terms and conditions of the Plan.

H.	Effectuating Documents; Further Transactions

On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor, and the officers and members of the New Board thereof, are authorized to and may issue, execute, deliver, file or record such contracts, securities, instruments, releases, and other agreements or documents and take such actions as may be

556423v.4

necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement, and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan and the securities issued pursuant to the Plan in the name of and on behalf of the Reorganized Debtor, and the Debtor may make non-material modifications to the documents set forth in the Plan Supplement, without the need for any approvals, authorizations, or consents except for those expressly required pursuant to the Plan.

I.	Exemption from Certain Transfer Taxes and Recording Fees

Pursuant to section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfer from the Debtor to the Reorganized Debtor or to any Entity pursuant to, in contemplation of, or in connection with the Plan or pursuant to: (1) the issuance, distribution, transfer, or exchange of any debt, securities, or other interest in the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor; (2) the creation, modification, consolidation, or recording of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest, or the securing of additional indebtedness by such or other means; (3) the making, assignment, or recording of any lease or sublease; or (4) the making, delivery, or recording of any deed or other instrument of transfer under, in furtherance of, or in connection with, the Plan, including any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, or other instrument of transfer executed in connection with any transaction arising out of, contemplated by, or in any way related to the Plan, shall not be subject to any document recording tax, sales tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, Uniform Commercial Code filing or recording fee, regulatory filing or recording fee, or other similar tax or governmental assessment, and the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents shall forego the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and to accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment.

556423v.4

J.	Board Representation

The New Board shall be disclosed in the Plan Supplement prior to the Confirmation Date in accordance with section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code. The initial members of the New Board shall serve staggered terms of one, two and three years, as designated.

K.	Senior Management

Senior management of the Reorganized Debtors shall be disclosed in the Plan Supplement prior to the Confirmation Date in accordance with section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Reorganized Debtor may, but shall not be required, to enter into one or more contracts with one or more Entities to outsource or subcontract certain management functions, and the identity or identities of such Entities with whom the Reorganized Debtor may contract as of the Effective Date shall be disclosed in the Plan Supplement.

Committee

As of the Effective Date, the Committee shall dissolve, and its members shall be released and discharged from all further authority, duties, responsibilities and obligations relating to and arising from the Chapter 11 Case. The retention and employment of the Professionals retained by the Committee shall terminate as of the Effective Date. Any and all orders providing the Committee with standing and authority to bring any Causes of Action, including, without limitation, the Former Officers and Directors Causes of Action, shall be vacated, null, void and of no effect from and after the Effective Date, and from and after the Effective Date the Committee shall have no standing or

556423v.4

authority whatsoever to bring or prosecute any Causes of Action, including, without limitation, the Former Officers and Directors Causes of Action.

M.	Vesting of Assets in the Reorganized Debtor

Except as otherwise provided in this Plan or in any agreement, instrument or other document relating thereto, on or after the Effective Date pursuant to section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, all property of the Estate and any property acquired by the Debtor pursuant hereto shall vest in the Reorganized Debtor, free and clear of all Liens, Claims, charges or other encumbrances. Except as may be provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, including without limitation with respect to the Cash Election Entitlement Segregated Account, on and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor may use, acquire or dispose of property and compromise or settle any Claims without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Reorganized Debtor shall be precluded from, and the Confirmation Order shall expressly prohibit the Reorganized Debtor from, pledging any interest in (a) the Disputed Reserve or the assets therein; (b) the Cash Election Entitlement Segregated Account or the assets therein; or (c) any assets, or the proceeds thereof, that are or could become part of the Cash Election Entitlement, including without limitation any Causes of Action or the proceeds thereof.

O.	Deregistration

556423v.4

or Suspension of Duty to File Reports Under Sections 12 and 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934” with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and shall otherwise comply with the statutory or regulatory requirements of a publicly traded company, including, but not limited to, seeking to deregister the Equity Interests.

P. Allowance of TOPrS Unsecured Claims. The TOPrS Unsecured Claims will be deemed to be Allowed Claims in the amounts set forth in Exhibit "C" to the Plan Supplement.

ARTICLE VI.

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

A.	Initial Distribution Date

On the Initial Distribution Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, the Reorganized Debtor shall make the Distributions required to be made under the Plan.

B.	Disputed Reserve

1. Establishment of Disputed Reserve

On the Initial Distribution Date, and after making all Distributions required to be made on such date under the Plan, the Reorganized Debtor shall establish a separate Disputed Reserve for Disputed Claims, which Disputed Reserve shall be administered by the Reorganized Debtor. The Reorganized Debtor shall reserve a number of shares of New Series A Common Stock, an amount of Cash, or any other security or equity interest issued under the Plan, depending on the election of the Holder of such Disputed Claims and whether the Debtor elects to issue a security on account of part of the Cash Election Entitlement, sufficient to provide Holders of Disputed Claims the treatment such Holders would be entitled to receive under the Plan if all such Disputed Claims were to become Allowed Claims (or such lesser amount as may be estimated by the Bankruptcy Court).

556423v.4

2. Maintenance of Disputed Reserve

The Reorganized Debtor shall hold unissued New Series A Common Stock and Cash in the Disputed Reserve in trust, segregated from and not to be commingled with any other assets of the Reorganized Debtor, for the benefit of the Holders of Claims ultimately determined to be Allowed. The Reorganized Debtor shall, in its sole discretion, distribute such amounts (net of any expenses, including taxes, relating thereto), as provided herein, as such Disputed Claims are resolved by a Final Order, and such New Series A Common Stock and Cash will be distributable in respect of such Disputed Claims as such amounts would have been distributable had the Disputed Claims been Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date.

C. Tax Refund Litigation Reserve.

1. If (i) prior to the deadline established for filing objections to confirmation of this Plan the FDIC timely and properly requests that the Court hear and determine whether any Allowed FDIC Non-Priority Claim is contractually senior to the Allowed TOPrS Unsecured Claims pursuant to the TOPrS Indentures, and thereafter (ii) disputed tax refunds that are the subject of the FDIC Cause of Action are adjudicated to be property of the Debtor’s Estate and the FDIC Non-Priority Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, then such refunds shall not be distributed pursuant to the Plan until a Final Order is also entered determining whether any Allowed FDIC Non-Priority Claim is contractually senior to the Allowed TOPrS Unsecured Claims pursuant to the TOPrS Indentures. If and to the extent such disputed tax refunds are adjudicated to be property of the Debtor’s Estate and such a Final Order is entered determining that any Allowed FDIC Non-Priority Claim is contractually senior to the TOPrS Unsecured Claims pursuant to the TOPrS Indentures, then such disputed tax refunds shall be distributed first to the FDIC on account of such Allowed FDIC Non-Priority Claim until such Claim is paid in full (and before any distributions are made on account of

556423v.4

any other Allowed TOPrS Unsecured Claims pursuant to the Plan), with the remainder being distributed pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

2. The Bankruptcy Court shall hear and determine whether any Allowed FDIC Non-Priority Claim is contractually senior to the Allowed TOPrS Unsecured Claims pursuant to the TOPrS Indentures. Notwithstanding any implication from this section as to the timing or order of litigation with the FDIC, on or before ten (10) days after the Confirmation Date, the Debtor and or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, and the FDIC shall present a mutually agreeable briefing and discovery schedule (if any discovery is appropriate) to the Bankruptcy Court for approval, including a requested target date for a contested hearing to occur as soon as practicable not more than 120 days after the Confirmation Date.

D.	Establishment and Maintenance of Cash Election Entitlement Segregated Account

On the Effective Date, and after making all Distributions required to be made on such date under the Plan, the Reorganized Debtor shall establish the Cash Election Entitlement Segregated Account, into which shall on that date and from time to time thereafter as it becomes available be deposited all Net Free Cash necessary and sufficient to make Distributions to Holders of Claims that elect to receive the Cash Election Entitlement. All Cash in the Cash Election Entitlement Segregated Account shall be held pursuant to the investment guidelines contained in Exhibit “D” to the Plan Supplement. The Confirmation Order shall provide that such account, and all funds required by this section to be deposited into such account, shall be segregated from, and shall not be commingled with, any other assets of the Reorganized Debtor, and as against creditors of the Reorganized Debtor, shall not be considered or deemed to be, property of the Reorganized Debtor or subject to claims by creditors of the Reorganized Debtor, and shall be held in trust for the sole benefit of Holders of Claims that elect to receive the Cash Election Entitlement.

556423v.4

E.	Quarterly Distributions

On each Quarterly Distribution Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, the Reorganized Debtor shall make the Distributions required to be made under the Plan on such date. Any Distribution that is not made on the Initial Distribution Date or on any other date specified herein because the Claim that would have been entitled to receive that Distribution is not an Allowed Claim on such date, shall be held by the Reorganized Debtor as applicable, in the Disputed Reserve and distributed on the first Quarterly Distribution Date after such Claim is Allowed. No interest shall accrue or be paid on the unpaid amount of any Distribution paid on a Quarterly Distribution Date. Distributions from the Cash Election Entitlement Segregated Account shall be supervised by the Plan Committee.

F.	Record Date for Distributions

Except as otherwise provided in a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or as otherwise stipulated by the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, the transferees of Claims that are transferred pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001 on or prior to the Distribution Record Date will be treated as the Holders of those Claims for all purposes, notwithstanding that any period provided by Bankruptcy Rule 3001 for objecting to the transfer may not have expired by the Distribution Record Date. The Reorganized Debtor shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of any Claim occurring after the Distribution Record Date. In making any Distribution with respect to any Claim, the Reorganized Debtor shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal with, for all purposes hereunder, only the Entity that is listed on the proof of Claim Filed with respect thereto or on the Schedules as the Holder thereof as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date and upon such other evidence or record of transfer or assignment that are known to the Reorganized Debtor as applicable, as of the Distribution Record Date.

556423v.4

G.	Delivery of Distributions

1. General Provisions; Undeliverable Distributions

Subject to Bankruptcy Rule 9010 and except as otherwise provided herein, Distributions to the Holders of Allowed Claims shall be made by the Reorganized Debtor at (i) the address of each Holder as set forth in the Schedules, unless superseded by the address set forth on proofs of Claim Filed by such Holder or (ii) the last known address of such Holder if no proof of Claim is Filed or if the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, has been notified in writing of a change of address; provided, however, that Distributions paid by the Reorganized Debtor for the benefit of Holders of TOPrS Debentures and the TOPrS shall be made to the appropriate TOPrS Indenture Trustee under the respective TOPrS Indenture for such obligations. Each such TOPrS Indenture Trustee shall, in turn, administer the distributions to the respective holders of TOPrS Unsecured Claims in accordance with the Plan and the applicable TOPrS Indentures. Distribution to a TOPrS Indenture Trustee shall be promptly remitted by such TOPrS Indenture Trustee to the Holders of the TOPrS Unsecured Claims entitled thereto (i.e., the Holder of the relevant TOPrS on the applicable Distribution Record Date) in accordance with this Plan and the TOPrS Indentures, and each such Distribution by the Reorganized Debtor to a TOPrS Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged the obligation of the Debtor to make such Distribution to the Holders of TOPrS Unsecured Claims represented by such TOPrS Indenture Trustee. The TOPrS Indenture Trustees shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of their duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. The TOPrS Indenture Trustees shall only be required to make distributions in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the respective TOPrS Indenture and shall have no liability for actions taken in accordance with the Plan or in reliance upon information provided to the TOPrS Indenture Trustees in accordance with the Plan, except for liabilities resulting from their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any Distribution is

556423v.4

returned as undeliverable, the Reorganized Debtor may, in its discretion, make such efforts to determine the current address of the Holder of the Claim with respect to which the Distribution was made as the Reorganized Debtor deems appropriate, but no Distribution to any Holder shall be made unless and until the Reorganized Debtor has determined the then-current address of the Holder, at which time the Distribution to such Holder shall be made to the Holder without interest. Amounts in respect of any undeliverable Distributions made by the Reorganized Debtor shall be returned to, and held in trust by, the Reorganized Debtor, until the Distributions are claimed or are deemed to be unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Reorganized Debtor shall have the discretion to determine how to make Distributions in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible; provided, however, that its discretion may not be exercised in a manner inconsistent with any express requirements of the Plan.

2. Unclaimed Property

Except with respect to property not distributed because it is being held in the Disputed Reserve, Distributions that are not claimed by the expiration of one year from the Initial Distribution Date or Quarterly Distribution Date applicable to such Distribution, shall be deemed to be unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and shall vest or revest in the Reorganized Debtor, and the Claims with respect to which those Distributions are made shall be automatically canceled. After the expiration of such one-year period, the Claim of any Entity to those Distributions shall be discharged and forever barred. Nothing contained in the Plan shall require the Reorganized Debtor to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim. Except as otherwise provided herein, all funds or other property that vests or revests in the Reorganized Debtor pursuant to this Article shall be distributed by the Reorganized Debtor in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

556423v.4

H.	Surrender of Canceled Instruments and Securities

1. Generally

Except as set forth in this Plan, as a condition precedent to receiving any Distribution hereunder on account of an Allowed Claim evidenced by instruments, securities or other documentation canceled pursuant to this Plan, other than securities held in book entry form through the Depository Trust Company, the Holder of such Claim shall tender such instrument, security or other documentation evidencing such Claim to the Reorganized Debtor. In the event an Allowed Claim is evidenced by securities held in book entry form through the Depository Trust Company, such securities shall be cancelled in accordance with usual Depository Trust Company practices. Any Distributions pursuant to the Plan on account of any Claim evidenced by such instruments, securities or other documentation, other than securities held in book entry form through the Depository Trust Company, shall, pending such surrender, be treated as an undeliverable Distribution; provided, however, that Holders of the TOPrS shall tender the TOPrS to the TOPrS Trust Indenture Trustee and Holders of the TOPrS Debentures shall tender the TOPrS Debentures to the TOPrS Debenture Indenture Trustee. All payments to Holders of TOPrS Unsecured Claims, other than TOPrS Unsecured Claims evidenced by securities held by the Depository Trust Company, shall only be made after such surrender, or in the event such certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, upon the Holder’s compliance with the requirements set forth in this Plan. Upon surrender of such TOPrS, the TOPrS Trust Indenture Trustee shall cancel and destroy such TOPrS and upon surrender of such TOPrS Debentures, the TOPrS Debenture Indenture Trustee shall cancel and destroy such TOPrS Debentures. As soon as practicable after surrender of the TOPrS and the TOPrS Debentures, the TOPrS Indenture Trustee shall distribute to the Holder thereof, as the case may be, such Holder’s Pro Rata share of the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the TOPrS Indenture, but subject to the rights of the TOPrS Indenture Trustee to assert (a) its charging Lien to

556423v.4

the extent the TOPrS Indenture Trustee Fees or any other fees owed to such TOPrS Indenture Trustee under the TOPrS Indenture, including without limitation, fees and expenses (including fees and expenses of its professionals), accrued prior to the Petition Date, are not paid pursuant to the Plan; or (b) any other rights or arguments to payment other than asserting its charging Lien.

2. Failure to Surrender Canceled Instruments

If any Holder of an Allowed Claim evidenced by instruments, securities or other documentation canceled as set forth in this Plan, fails to surrender such instrument, security or other documentation or comply with the provisions of this Plan within one year after the Effective Date, its Claim for a Distribution under the Plan on account of such instrument, security, or other documentation shall be discharged, and such Holder shall be forever barred from asserting such Claim against the Reorganized Debtor or its property. In such case, any property held on account of such Claim shall be disposed of pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Plan.

I.	Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Instrument or Security

Any Holder of an Allowed Claim evidenced by instruments, securities or other documentation canceled pursuant to this Plan that has been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, shall, in lieu of surrendering such instrument, security or documentation: (i) deliver to the Reorganized Debtor (or in the case of the TOPrS Debentures or TOPrS, the applicable TOPrS Indenture Trustee) (a) an affidavit of loss reasonably satisfactory to the Reorganized Debtor (or in the case of the TOPrS Debentures or TOPrS, the applicable TOPrS Indenture Trustee) setting forth the unavailability of such instrument, security, or other documentation and (b) such additional security or indemnity as may reasonably be requested by the Reorganized Debtor to hold the Reorganized Debtor (or, in the case of the TOPrS Debentures or TOPrS, required by the applicable TOPrS Indenture Trustee to hold the applicable TOPrS Indenture Trustee) harmless from any damages, liabilities, or costs incurred in treating such Entity as a Holder of an Allowed Claim; and (ii) satisfy

556423v.4

any other requirement under the TOPrS Indenture or any other relevant document. Upon compliance with this paragraph by a Holder of an Allowed Claim evidenced by such instrument, security or other documentation, such Holder shall, for all purposes under the Plan, be deemed to have surrendered such instrument, security or other documentation.

J.	Manner of Cash Payments Under the Plan

Cash payments made pursuant to the Plan shall be in United States dollars by checks drawn on a domestic bank selected by the Reorganized Debtor, or by wire transfer from a domestic bank, at the option of the Reorganized Debtor.

K.	Time Bar to Cash Payments by Check

Checks issued by the Reorganized Debtor on account of Allowed Claims shall be null and void if not negotiated within 90 days after the date of issuance thereof. Requests for the reissuance of any check that becomes null and void pursuant to this paragraph shall be made directly to the Reorganized Debtor by the Holder of the Allowed Claim to whom the check was originally issued. Any claim in respect of such voided check shall be made in writing on or before the later of the first anniversary of the Initial Distribution Date or Quarterly Distribution Date on which such check was issued. After that date, all Claims in respect of void checks shall be discharged and forever barred and the proceeds of those checks shall revest in and become the property of the Reorganized Debtor as unclaimed property in accordance with section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and be distributed as provided in this Plan.

L.	Limitations on Funding of Disputed Reserve

Except as expressly set forth in the Plan, neither the Debtor nor the Reorganized Debtor shall have any duty to fund the Disputed Reserve.

556423v.4

M.	Compliance with Tax Requirements

In connection with making Distributions under the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Reorganized Debtor shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on it by any governmental unit, and all Distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. The Reorganized Debtor may withhold the entire Distribution due to any Holder of an Allowed Claim until such time as such Holder provides the necessary information to comply with any withholding requirements of any governmental unit. Any property so withheld will then be paid by the Reorganized Debtor to the appropriate authority, including, without limitation, a signed and completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. If the Holder of an Allowed Claim fails to provide the information necessary to comply with any withholding requirements of any governmental unit within 90 days from the Effective Date, then such Holder's Distribution shall be treated as an undeliverable Distribution and such Holder’s Claims shall not be Allowed.

N.	No Payments of Fractional Dollars

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no payment of fractional dollars shall be made pursuant to the Plan. Whenever any payment of a fraction of a dollar under the Plan would otherwise be required, the actual Distribution made shall reflect a rounding down of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar.

O.	Interest on Claims

Except as specifically provided for in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, interest shall not accrue on Claims and no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim. Interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Disputed Claim in respect of the period from the Petition Date to the date a final Distribution is made thereon if and after that Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. Except as expressly provided herein or in a Final Order

556423v.4

of the Bankruptcy Court, no prepetition Claim shall be Allowed to the extent that it is for postpetition interest or other similar charges.

P.	No Distribution in Excess of Allowed Amount of Claim

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, no Holder of an Allowed Claim shall receive in respect of that Claim any Distribution in excess of the Allowed amount of that Claim.

Q.	Setoff and Recoupment

The Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor may, but shall not be required to, set off against, or recoup from, any Claim and the Distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect thereof, any Claims or defenses of any nature whatsoever that the Debtor, the Estate or the Reorganized Debtor may have against the Holder of such Claim, but neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim under the Plan shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtor, the Estate, or the Reorganized Debtor of any right of setoff or recoupment that any of them may have against the Holder of any Claim.

R.	No Distribution to General Unsecured Creditors

No Distribution of Cash may be made to Holders of General Unsecured Claims until any Allowed FDIC Priority Claim is paid in full.

ARTICLE VII.

DISPUTED CLAIMS

A.	No Distribution Pending Allowance

1. Distributions on Disputed Claims

3. Injunction. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan, the documents executed pursuant to this Plan, or the Confirmation Order, on and after the Effective Date, all Persons and Entities who have held, currently hold, or may hold a debt, Claim, or Interest discharged pursuant to the terms of this Plan (including but not limited to States and other governmental units, and any State official, employee, or other entity acting in an individual or official capacity on behalf of any State or other governmental units) shall be permanently enjoined from: (a) taking any of the following actions on account of any such discharged debt, Claim, or Interest: (1) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding against the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, their successors, or their property; (2) enforcing, attaching, executing, collecting, or recovering in any manner any judgment, award, decree, or order against the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, their successors, or their property; (3) creating, perfecting, or enforcing any lien or encumbrance against the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, their successors, or their property; (4) asserting any set off, right of subrogation, or recoupment of any kind against any obligation due the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, their successors, or their property; and (5) 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; and (b) taking any of the following actions on account of any Claims or Causes of Action that are revested in, or transferred to, the Reorganized Debtor as of the Effective Date or under this Plan commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind to recover on or otherwise with respect to such Claims or rights of action.

556423v.4

actual damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, and, in appropriate circumstances, may recover punitive damages from the willful violator.

1. Vesting of Causes of Action. Except as expressly released or otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, pursuant to section 1123(b) of the Code, the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, exclusively shall be vested with and shall retain and may enforce any and all Causes of Action that the Debtor or the Estate may hold or have against any Person or Entity (including, without limitation, the FDIC Causes of Action and the Former Officer and Director Causes of Action), all of which are hereby preserved, including all Causes of Action, and all rights of disallowance, offset, recharacterization and/or equitable subordination with respect to claims, and causes of action that have been or may be brought by or on behalf of the Debtor, the Estate, the Committee or the Reorganized Debtor. Such claims, rights and causes of action shall remain assets of and vest in the Reorganized Debtor, whether or not litigation relating thereto is pending on the Effective Date, and whether or not any such claims, rights and causes of action have been listed or referred to in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or any other document filed with the Bankruptcy Court. Neither the Debtor, the Estate, the Committee, nor the Reorganized Debtor waives, releases, relinquishes, forfeits, or abandons (nor shall they be estopped or otherwise precluded or impaired from asserting) any claims, rights and causes of action or defenses that constitute property of the Debtor or its Estate: (a) whether or not such claims, rights, causes of action, or defenses have been listed or referred to this Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or any other document filed with the Bankruptcy Court, (b) whether or not such claims, rights and causes of action, or defenses are currently known to the Debtor, and (c) whether or not a defendant in any litigation relating to such claims, rights or causes of action filed a proof of Claim in the Case, filed a notice of appearance or any other pleading or notice in the Case, voted for or against this Plan, or

556423v.4

received or retained any consideration under this Plan. Without in any manner limiting the scope of the foregoing, notwithstanding any otherwise applicable principle of law or equity, including any principles of judicial estoppel, res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, or any similar doctrine, (x) the failure to list, disclose, describe, identify, analyze or refer to any claims, rights and causes of action, or defenses in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or any other document filed with the Bankruptcy Court shall in no manner waive, eliminate, modify, release, or alter the right of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, to commence, prosecute, defend against, settle, recover on account of, and realize upon any such claims, rights and causes of action, that the Debtor, its Estate, or the Committee may have as of the Effective Date, and (y) from and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall have exclusive standing and authority to prosecute any Causes of Action, including, without limitation, any FDIC Causes of Action or Former Officer and Director Causes of Action.

2. Reservation of Causes of Action. The Debtor expressly reserves all its Causes of Action, including, without limitation, all claims, rights, Causes of Action, including the FDIC Causes of Action, and defenses for later adjudication by the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, waiver, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise) or laches will apply to such claims, rights and causes of action, and defenses upon or after the confirmation or consummation of the Plan based on the Disclosure Statement, the Plan or the Confirmation Order. In addition, the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor expressly reserve the right to pursue or adopt claims, rights and causes of action that are alleged in any lawsuits in which the Debtor is a defendant or an interested party, against any entity, including the plaintiffs or co-defendants in such lawsuits. Any entity to whom the Debtor has incurred an obligation (whether on account of services, purchase, sale of goods or otherwise), or who has received services from the

556423v.4

Debtor, or who has received money or property from the Debtor, or who has transacted business with the Debtor, or who has leased equipment or property from or to the Debtor should assume that such obligation, receipt, transfer or transaction may be reviewed by the Reorganized Debtor subsequent to the Effective Date and may be the subject of an action after the Effective Date, whether or not: (a) such entity has filed a proof of Claim against the Debtor in this Case; (b) such entity’s proof of Claim has been objected to by the Debtor; (c) such entity’s Claim was included in the Debtor’s Schedules; or (d) such entity’s scheduled Claim has been objected to by the Debtor or has been identified by the Debtor as contingent, unliquidated or disputed.

3. Reservation of Rights Regarding Claims. Neither the failure to list a Claim in the Schedules filed by the Debtor, the failure of the Debtor or any other Person to object to any Claim for purpose of voting, the failure of the Debtor or any other Person to object to a Claim or Administrative Claim before confirmation or consummation of the Plan or the Effective Date, the failure of any Person to assert a Claim or cause of action before confirmation or consummation of the Plan or the Effective Date, the absence of a proof of Claim having been filed with respect to a Claim nor any action or inaction of the Debtor or any other Person with respect to a Claim or Administrative Claim, other than a legally effective express waiver or release, shall be deemed a waiver or release of the right of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor before or after solicitation of votes on the Plan or before or after the Confirmation Date or the Effective Date to (a) object to or examine such Claim or Administrative Claim in whole or in part or (b) retain and either assign or exclusively assert, pursue, prosecute, utilize, otherwise act or otherwise enforce any claim or cause of action against the holder of any such Claim.

F. Exculpation and Limitation of Liability.

1. Exculpation of Releasees. The Releasees, including the Debtor, shall neither have nor incur any liability to any Person for any act taken or omission made in good

556423v.4

faith in connection with or related to the administration of the Case, including, but not limited to, the formulation, implementation, confirmation, or consummation of the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or any other contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created in connection with the Plan or regarding any Distribution made under the Plan, except to the extent that the action taken or omitted to be taken by each of the same is determined by a Final Order to be due to such Person’s own respective gross negligence, intentional or willful misconduct or fraud.

2. Good faith Solicitation. Upon entry of the Confirmation Order, pursuant to section 1125(e) of the Code, the Debtor, the Committee and Holdco, and their respective present and former members, officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, representatives, successors or assigns, and any Professionals (acting in such capacity) employed by any of the foregoing Persons will be deemed to have solicited votes on the Plan in good faith and in compliance with the Code and any applicable non-bankruptcy law, and, therefore, shall have no liability for the violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation governing the solicitation of votes on the Plan.

G. Cramdown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Holdco reserves the right to seek confirmation of the Plan pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Code in the event any impaired Class of Claims or Interests does not vote to accept the Plan.
