G.            Section 1129(a)(1). The Plan complies with each applicable provision of the Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant to sections 1122(a) and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan provides for the separate classification of Claims and Interests into 10 Classes, based on differences in the legal nature or priority of such Claims and Interests (other than Administrative Claims, Fee Claims, Priority Tax Claims, DIP Facility Claims and Statutory Fees, which are addressed in Article II of the Plan and which are not required to be designated as separate Classes pursuant to section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code). In particular, the Plan complies with the requirements of sections 1122 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as follows:

1.            In accordance with section 1122(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan classifies each Claim against and Equity Interest in the Debtors into a Class containing only substantially similar Claims or Equity Interests;

2.            In accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan properly classifies all Claims and Equity Interests that require classification. With respect to Claims classified in Classes 3 through 8 and Equity Interests in Classes 9 and 10, the Debtors have provided proof of a legitimate reason for the separate classification of such Claims and Equity Interests, and such classification is justified. Separate classification was not done for any improper purpose and does not unfairly discriminate between or among holders of Claims or Equity Interests;

3.            In accordance with section 1123(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan properly identifies and describes each Class of Claims and Equity Interests that is Unimpaired under the Plan;

4.            In accordance with section 1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan properly identifies and describes the treatment of each Class of Claims or Equity Interests that is Impaired under the Plan;

5.            In accordance with section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan provides the same treatment for each Claim or Equity Interest within a particular Class unless the holder of such a Claim or Equity Interest has agreed to less favorable treatment;

8.            In accordance with section 1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, the provisions of the Plan and the Reorganized Debtors’ charters, and bylaws regarding the manner of selection of officers and directors of the Reorganized Debtors are consistent with the interests of creditors and equity security holders and with public policy;

9.            In accordance with section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan impairs or leaves Unimpaired, as the case may be, each Class of Claims and Equity Interests;

10.            In accordance with section 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article IX of the Plan provides for the assumption, assumption and assignment or rejection of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases of the Debtors that have not been previously assumed, assumed and assigned or rejected pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Court;

11.            In accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code and pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, the Plan provides for the good faith compromise of all Claims, Equity Interests and controversies relating to the contractual, legal and subordination rights that a holder of any Claim or Equity Interest may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or Interest or any distribution to be made on account of such an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest. Article VI.F of the Plan further provides in accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code that the Reorganized Debtors will retain and may enforce any claims, demands, rights, defenses and Causes of Action that any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor may hold against any entity, to the extent not expressly released under the Plan or the DIP Financing Order;

12.            In accordance with section 1123(b)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan modifies or leaves unaffected, as the case may be, the rights of certain holders of Claims in Classes 1 and 2;

 
-5-

 

13.            In accordance with section 1123(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan includes additional appropriate provisions that are not inconsistent with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code; and

14.            In accordance with section 1123(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article IX of the Plan provides for the satisfaction of Cure Claims associated with each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan in accordance with section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. All Cure Claims will be determined in accordance with the underlying agreements and applicable law.

H.            Section 1129(a)(2).

17.            All persons entitled to receive notice of the Disclosure Statement, the Plan and the Confirmation Hearing have received proper, timely and adequate notice in accordance with the Disclosure Statement Order, the Order Authorizing Plan Modifications, applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules, and have had an opportunity to appear and be heard with respect thereto.

18.            The Debtors solicited votes with respect to the Plan in good faith and in a manner consistent with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Disclosure Statement Order, and the Order Authorizing Plan Modifications. Accordingly, the Debtors are entitled to the protections afforded by section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and the exculpation provisions set forth in Article VI.J of the Plan.

19.            Claims in Classes 1, 2, 8 and 9 under the Plan are Unimpaired, and such Classes are deemed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code.

20.            The Plan was voted on by five of the Classes of Impaired Claims that were entitled to vote pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules and the Disclosure Statement Order (i.e., Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7).

21.            GCG has made a final determination of the validity of, and tabulation with respect to, all acceptances and rejections of the Plan by holders of Claims entitled to vote on the Plan, including the amount and number of accepting and rejecting Claims in Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 under the Plan. See Voting Declaration at ¶¶ 11-13, 16.

 
-11-

 

22.            Each of Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 have accepted the Plan by at least two-thirds in amount and a majority in number of the Claims in such Classes actually voting. See Voting Declaration, at ¶ 16 and Exhibit A.

I.            Section 1129(a)(3). The Plan has been proposed in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law. The Chapter 11 Cases were filed with an honest belief that the Debtors were in need of reorganization and the Plan was negotiated and proposed with the intention of accomplishing a successful reorganization, and for no ulterior purpose. The Plan fairly achieves a result consistent with the objectives and purposes of the Bankruptcy Code. In so finding, the Court has considered the totality of the circumstances in these Chapter 11 Cases. The Plan is the result of extensive good faith, arm’s-length negotiations between the Debtors and certain of their principal constituencies, including certain of the Prepetition 2010 Facility Lenders, the Prepetition 2011 Facility Lenders, the OCM Facility Lenders, Oaktree Plan Sponsors, the Creditors’ Committee, the PSA Supporting Noteholders and their respective representatives, and reflects substantial input from the principal constituencies having an interest in the Chapter 11 Cases and, as evidenced by the overwhelming acceptance of the Plan, achieves the goal of consensual reorganization embodied by the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors and professionals (i) acted in good faith in negotiating, formulating, and proposing, where applicable, the Plan and agreements, compromises, settlements, transactions, and transfers contemplated thereby, and (ii) will be acting in good faith in proceeding to (a) consummate the Plan and the agreements, compromises, settlements, transactions, transfers, and documentation contemplated by the Plan, including, but not limited to, the Plan Supplement documents, and (b) take any actions authorized and directed or contemplated by this Order. Thus, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.

J.            Section 1129(a)(4). The Plan provides that Fee Claims submitted by Professionals for services incurred prior to the Effective Date will be entitled to payment only if and to the extent they are approved by the Court. The Plan also provides for the payment in full in Cash on the Effective Date of the DIP Facility Claims, including all “DIP Obligations” as provided in, and pursuant to the procedures set forth in, the DIP Financing Order (including, without limitation, all reasonable expenses incurred by the DIP Secured Parties, the Senior Agent and the other Senior Secured Parties (each as defined in the DIP Financing Order)). The Plan also provides that all other Administrative Claims will be entitled to payment only to the extent they are Allowed Claims. Thus, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 
-12-

 

K.            Section 1129(a)(5). To the extent such information is available, the Debtors have disclosed on Exhibit 8 to the Plan Supplement: (1) the identities of the officers and directors of the Reorganized Debtors and (2) the identity of any insiders that will be employed or retained by the Reorganized Debtors. The compensation of the Reorganized Debtors’ directors will be consistent with each Reorganized Debtor’s applicable constituent documents. The Debtors disclosed at or prior to the Confirmation Hearing the affiliations of their respective proposed directors and officers and the compensation of any insiders to be employed or retained by the Reorganized Debtors (to the extent not previously disclosed). The proposed directors and officers for the Reorganized Debtors as set forth on Exhibit 8 to the Plan Supplement are qualified and their appointment to, or continuance in, such offices is consistent with the interests of holders of Claims and Equity Interests and with public policy.

L.            Section 1129(a)(6). The Plan does not provide for any changes in rates that require regulatory approval of any governmental agency.

M.            Section 1129(a)(7). The liquidation analysis set forth in Exhibit D to the Disclosure Statement other evidence proffered or adduced at or prior to, or in declarations in connection with, the Confirmation Hearing (a) are reasonable, persuasive, accurate and credible, (b) utilize reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions; (c) have not been controverted by other evidence, and (d) establish that each holder of a Claim or Equity Interest in an Impaired Class either (i) has accepted the Plan or (ii) will receive or retain under the Plan, on account of such Claim or Equity Interest, property of a value, as of the Effective Date of the Plan, that is not less than the amount that it would receive if the Debtors were liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on such date.

 
-13-

 

N.            Section 1129(a)(8). Classes 1, 2, 8 and 9 are Unimpaired and are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan under section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. As set forth in the Voting Declaration, Classes 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 have voted to accept the Plan. The Plan has not been accepted by all Impaired Classes of Equity Interests because the holders of Equity Interests in GMR in Class 10 are deemed to have rejected the Plan. Nevertheless, the Plan is confirmable because it does not discriminate unfairly and is fair and equitable with respect to Class 10 and thus satisfies section 1129(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code (as set forth in paragraph U below).

O.            Section 1129(a)(9). The Plan provides treatment for Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims and Other Priority Claims that is consistent with the requirements of section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code.

P.            Section 1129(a)(10). The Plan has been accepted by five classes of Impaired Claims that are entitled to vote on the Plan (i.e., Classes 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7), determined without including any acceptance of the Plan by any “insider.” See Voting Declaration, Exhibit A.

 
-14-

 

Q.            Section 1129(a)(11). The Plan is feasible, within the meaning of section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors’ projections of the capitalization and financial information of the Reorganized Debtors as of the Effective Date are reasonable and made in good faith. The evidence provided in support of the Plan or adduced by the Debtors at, or before, in declarations in connection with, the Confirmation Hearing: (a) is reasonable, persuasive, credible and accurate as of the dates such analysis or evidence was prepared, presented or proffered; (b) utilizes reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions; (c) has not been controverted by other evidence; (d) establishes that each Reorganized Debtor is deemed to be solvent as of the Effective Date, and Confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation or further financial reorganization of the Reorganized Debtors or any successor to the Reorganized Debtors under the Plan except as provided in the Plan; and (e) establishes that the Reorganized Debtors will have sufficient funds available to meet their obligations under the Plan. The Debtors have demonstrated a reasonable assurance of the Plan’s prospects for success.

R.            Section 1129(a)(12). The Plan provides that fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930 will be paid by the Debtors on or before the Effective Date. After the Effective Date, all fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930 will be paid by the applicable Reorganized Debtor until the earlier of the conversion or dismissal of the applicable Chapter 11 Case under section 1112 of the Bankruptcy Code, or the closing of the applicable Chapter 11 Case pursuant to section 350(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

S.            Section 1129(a)(13). The Debtors do not have retiree benefits as defined in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code is applicable to the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, as set forth in Article V.D., shall continue to pay, in accordance with applicable law, all retiree benefits (as defined in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code) for the period during which the Debtors have obligated themselves to provide such benefits, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 
-15-

 

T.            Sections 1129(a)(14), (15) and (16). The Debtors do not owe any domestic support obligations and are not individuals. Therefore, sections 1129(a)(14) and (15) of the Bankruptcy Code do not apply to the Debtors. Further, the Debtors are moneyed, business, or commercial corporations or trusts, not nonprofit entities, and, therefore, section 1129(a)(16) of the Bankruptcy Code does not apply to the Debtors. To the extent that any transfer of property under the Plan will be made by a nonprofit corporation or trust and section 1129(a)(16) of the Bankruptcy Code is thus applicable to the Debtors, such transfers shall be made in accordance with applicable non-bankruptcy law, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(16) of the Bankruptcy Code.

U.            Section 1129(b). The Plan satisfies section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to Class 10, the only non-accepting Class. The evidence proffered or adduced at the Confirmation Hearing is persuasive and credible, has not been controverted by other evidence, and establishes that the Plan does not discriminate unfairly and is fair and equitable with respect to Class 10, as required by section 1129(b)(2)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code because (a) no holder of a Claim or Equity Interest will receive more than it is legally entitled to receive on account of its Claim or Equity Interest, and (b) the Plan does not provide a recovery on account of any Claim or Equity Interest that is junior to Class 10. Thus, the Plan may be confirmed notwithstanding the deemed rejection of the Plan by Class 10.

V.            Section 1129(c). The Plan (including previous versions thereof) is the only plan that has been filed in these Chapter 11 Cases that has been found to satisfy the requirements of subsections (a) and (b) of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, confirmation of the Plan complies with the requirements of section 1129(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 
-16-

 

W.            Section 1129(d). No party in interest has requested that the Court deny Confirmation of the Plan on grounds that the principal purpose of the Plan is the avoidance of taxes or the avoidance of the application of section 5 of the Securities Act, and the principal purpose of the Plan is not such avoidance. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.

X.            Section 1129(e). None of these Chapter 11 Cases is a small business case within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code.

Y.            Based upon the foregoing and all other pleadings and evidence proffered or adduced at or prior to the Confirmation Hearing, the Plan and the Debtors as proponents of the Plan satisfy the requirements for confirmation set forth in section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.

MODIFICATIONS TO THE PLAN

Z.            As set forth in the Order Authorizing Plan Modifications, the Plan Modifications to the Original Plan do not require additional disclosure under section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code or the resolicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan under section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code. With respect to Class 7 Claims Against the Guarantor Debtors, the Plan Modifications to the Original Plan constitute an enhancement to the treatment of such Claims; with respect to the remaining Classes of Claims, the Plan Modifications to the Original Plan do not materially and adversely affect or change the treatment of any Claim against or Equity Interest in any Debtor.

 
-17-

 

AA.            The Technical Modifications to the Plan do not materially and adversely affect or change the treatment of any Claim against or Equity Interest in any Debtor. The Technical Modifications do not require additional disclosure under section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code or the resolicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan under section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code.

BB.            The filing of the Plan and the disclosure of the Plan Modifications and Technical Modifications therein constitute due and sufficient notice thereof under the circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases. Accordingly, the Plan is properly before the Court, and all votes cast with respect to the Original Plan prior to the Plan Modifications and with respect to the Plan prior to the Technical Modifications shall be binding and shall apply with respect to the Plan.6

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN

CC.            On the Effective Date, in accordance with Article IV.D. of the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors will enter into the New Senior Facilities, the effectiveness of which requires the payment of the Paydown in accordance with the Plan. The New Senior Facilities are critical to the success of the Plan. Based upon the record of these Chapter 11 Cases, the New Senior Facilities have been negotiated in good faith and on an arms' length basis by each party thereto, and each party thereto may rely upon the provisions of this Order in closing the New Senior Facilities. The terms of the New Senior Facilities, together with the payment of (i) all fees and expenses thereunder or associated therewith, and (ii) the Paydown, are fair and reasonable, reflect the Debtors' exercise of prudent business judgment consistent with their fiduciary duties, and are supported by equivalent value and fair consideration.
 
__________________________ 
6 The Plan is dated and identifies the entities submitting and filing it, thereby complying with Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a).  The filing of the Disclosure Statement complied with Bankruptcy Rule 3016(b).

 
-18-

 

DD.            All documents and agreements necessary to implement the Plan, including, but not limited to, the Plan Supplement documents, are essential elements of the Plan and consummation of each agreement is in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates and holders of Claims. The Debtors have exercised reasonable business judgment in determining to enter into the contemplated agreements, and the agreements have been negotiated in good faith, at arm’s length, are fair and reasonable, and shall, upon execution and upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, constitute legal, valid, binding, enforceable, and authorized obligations of the respective parties thereto and will be enforceable in accordance with their terms. Pursuant to section 1142(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan Supplement documents, and any other agreements necessary to implement the Plan will apply and be enforceable notwithstanding any otherwise applicable non-bankruptcy law.

CONDITIONS TO THE CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN

EE.            Each of the conditions precedent to entry of this Order has been satisfied in accordance with Article VI.A of the Plan or properly waived in accordance with Article VI.B of the Plan.

EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

FF.            Pursuant to sections 365 and 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, Article IX of the Plan provides for the assumption, assumption and assignment, or rejection of certain Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. The Debtors’ determinations regarding the assumption, assumption and assignment, or rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases are based on and within the sound business judgment of the Debtors, are necessary to the implementation of the Plan and are in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, holders of Claims and other parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Debtors have filed Exhibits 1 and 2 to the Plan Supplement (as they may have been amended or supplemented) and have provided notice to counterparties of the Debtors’ determinations regarding the assumption, assumption and assignment, or rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases and any related Cure Claims. See Affidavit of Service [Docket No. 750].

GLOBAL SETTLEMENT UNDER THE PLAN

GG.            The Plan settles numerous litigable issues in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and sections 363 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. These settlements are in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided under the Plan. Any other compromise and settlement provisions of the Plan and the Plan itself constitute a compromise of all Claims, Equity Interests or Causes of Action relating to the contractual, legal and subordination rights that a holder of a Claim or Equity Interest may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or Equity Interest or any distribution to be made on account of such an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest.

HH.            In consideration of the global negotiated settlement of numerous disputed Claims and issues embodied in the Plan, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and in consideration for the distributions, releases and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall upon consummation constitute a good faith compromise and settlement between the Debtors, OCM, the Oaktree Plan Sponsors, the PSA Supporting Noteholders and the Creditors’ Committee arising from or related to (i) the amount of the OCM Facility Secured Claim for allocation purposes under the Plan, (ii) the total enterprise value of the Debtors’ estates and the Reorganized Debtors for allocation purposes under the Plan, (iii) the amount of the Unsecured Creditor Distribution, and (iv) OCM’s agreement not to receive a distribution on account of the OCM Facility Deficiency Claims, provided, however, that the Debtors, OCM, the Oaktree Plan Sponsors, the PSA Supporting Noteholders and the Creditors’ Committee reserve all of their respective rights in respect of the Plan in the event that, for any reason, the Effective Date does not occur. In addition, upon consummation, the Plan shall constitute a good faith compromise and settlement between the Debtors, OCM, the holders of the Prepetition 2010 Facility Claims and the holders of Prepetition 2011 Facility Claims that are party to the Restructuring Support Agreement arising from or related to the Prepetition 2010 Facility Claims and the Prepetition 2011 Facility Claims. The entry of this Order constitutes the Court’s approval of each of the foregoing compromises or settlements and all other compromises and settlements provided for in the Plan. The Court finds that such compromises and settlements are in the best interests of the Debtors, their estates, creditors, and other parties-in-interest, and are fair, equitable, and within the range of reasonableness.

 
-20-

 

II.            In reaching its decision on the substantive fairness of the global settlement and the Plan, the Court considered the following factors: (i) the balance between the litigation’s probability of success and the settlement’s future benefits; (ii) the likelihood of complex and protracted litigation and the risk and difficulty of collecting on the judgment; (iii) the proportion of creditors and parties in interest that support the settlement; (iv) the competency of counsel reviewing the settlement; (v) the nature and breadth of releases to be obtained by officers and directors; and (vi) the extent to which the settlement is the product of arm’s length bargaining.

RELEASES, EXCULPATIONS AND INJUNCTIONS OF RELEASED PARTIES

JJ.            Each non-Debtor Released Party that will benefit from the releases, exculpations and related injunctions set forth in the Plan (collectively, the “Plan Releases”) either shares an identity of interest with the Debtors, was instrumental to the successful prosecution of the Chapter 11 Cases, and/or provided a substantial contribution to the Debtors, which value provided a significant benefit to the Debtors’ estates and general unsecured creditors, and which will allow for distributions that would not otherwise be available but for the contributions made by such non-Debtor parties. The Plan Releases are, individually and collectively, integral to, and necessary for the successful implementation of, the Plan, essential to the Debtors’ reorganization and supported by reasonable consideration. Releases of non-Debtor parties pursuant to Article VI.J of the Plan are fully consensual. Such releases are binding upon creditors that submitted a Ballot but did not elect to opt out of the Plan Releases. The Debtors and all creditors that submitted a Ballot and did not elect to opt out of the Plan Releases have consented to the Plan Releases and no party has objected to the Plan Releases; provided, the third-party releases by creditors of non-Debtor parties pursuant to Article VI.J of the Plan shall not release the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as indenture trustee under the Senior Notes Indenture. The Ballots explicitly stated that those who submit a Ballot and choose not to opt out of the Plan Releases will be deemed to have consented to the Plan Releases. Those holders of Claims submitting a Ballot and choosing not to opt out of the Plan Releases were given due and adequate notice that they would be consenting to the Plan Releases by acting in such a manner. Accordingly, in light of all of the circumstances, the Plan Releases satisfy the applicable standards contained in In re Metromedia Fiber Network, Inc., 416 F.3d 136 (2d Cir. 2005), are fair to the releasing parties, and are otherwise appropriate under In re Johns-Manville Corp., 600 F.3d 135 (2d Cir. 2010).

CONSOLIDATION OF THE GUARANTOR DEBTORS
FOR DISTRIBUTION AND VOTING PURPOSES

KK.            The consolidation of the Guarantor Debtors in Classes 1 through 5 and 7 will facilitate implementation of the Plan, avoid unnecessary administrative costs associated with unwinding the Guarantor Debtors’ estates for distribution and voting purposes and not adversely affect any creditor of the Guarantor Debtors.

 
-22-

 

EQUITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT

LL.            As of the date of the Confirmation Hearing, no Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Equity Purchase Agreement) has occurred under the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement.

SALE OF GENMAR ALEXANDRA

MM.            As set forth on the record at the Confirmation Hearing, the approval of the sale of the Genmar Alexandra (the “Alexandra”), a vessel wholly owned by the Debtor GMR Alexandra LLC, pursuant to this Order is in the best interests of the Estates and creditors.

WAIVER OF STAY

NN.            Under the circumstances, it is appropriate that the 14-day stay imposed by Bankruptcy Rules 3020(e) and 7062(a) be waived.

II.            ORDER

BASED ON THE FOREGOING FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW, IT IS THEREFORE HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED AS FOLLOWS:

1.            Confirmation of the Plan. The Plan (including the Plan Supplement) and each of its provisions (whether or not specifically approved herein) is and are CONFIRMED in each and every respect, pursuant to section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, and the terms of the Plan and the Plan Supplement are incorporated by reference into, and are an integral part of, this Order. The Effective Date of the Plan shall occur on the date determined by the Debtors when the conditions set forth in Article X.A of the Plan have been satisfied or, if applicable, have been waived in accordance with Article X.B of the Plan. The failure to specifically include or to refer to any particular article, section or provision of the Plan, Plan Supplement or any related document in this Order shall not diminish or impair the effectiveness of such article, section or provision, it being the intent of the Court that this Order confirm the Plan and any related documents in their entirety.

 
-23-

 

2.            Objections to the Plan are Overruled. All parties have had a full and fair opportunity to litigate all issues raised by objections to confirmation of the Plan. Any objections or responses to confirmation of the Plan and the reservation of rights contained therein that (a) have not been withdrawn, waived or settled prior to the entry of this Order or (b) are not cured by the relief granted herein are hereby OVERRULED in their entirety and on their merits, and all withdrawn objections or responses are hereby deemed withdrawn with prejudice.

3.            Notice. Notice of the Confirmation Hearing complied with the terms of the Disclosure Statement Order and the Order Authorizing Plan Modifications, was appropriate and satisfactory based on the circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases, and was in compliance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules and the Local Rules.

4.            Plan Classification Controlling. The terms of the Plan shall solely govern the classification of Claims and Equity Interests for purposes of the distributions to be made thereunder. The classifications set forth on the Ballots tendered to or returned by the holders of Claims or Interests in connection with voting on the Plan pursuant to the Disclosure Statement Approval Order: (a) were set forth on the Ballots solely for purposes of voting to accept or reject the Plan; (b) do not necessarily represent, and in no event shall be deemed to modify or otherwise affect, the actual classification of such Claims and Interests under the Plan for distribution purposes; (c) may not be relied upon by any holder of a Claim or Interest as representing the actual classification of such Claim or Interest under the Plan for distribution purposes; and (d) shall not be binding on the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors except for voting purposes.

 
-24-

 

5.            Order Binding on All Parties. Notwithstanding Bankruptcy Rules 3020(e), or 7062 or otherwise, upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, the terms of the Plan and this Order shall be immediately binding upon, and inure to the benefit of: (a) the Debtors; (b) the Reorganized Debtors; (c) any and all holders of Claims or Equity Interests (irrespective of whether such Claims or Equity Interests are impaired under the Plan or whether the holders of such Claims or Equity Interests accepted, rejected or are deemed to have accepted or rejected the Plan); (d) any other person giving, acquiring or receiving property under the Plan; (e) any and all non-Debtor parties to Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases with any of the Debtors; and (f) the respective heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, representatives, attorneys, beneficiaries, guardians, successors or assigns, if any, of any of the foregoing. On the Effective Date, all settlements, compromises, releases (including, without limitation, the Plan Releases), waivers, discharges, exculpations, and injunctions set forth in the Plan shall be effective and binding on all Persons.

6.            Other Essential Documents and Agreements. The form of documents comprising the Plan Supplement, any other agreements, instruments, certificates or documents related thereto and the transactions contemplated by each of the foregoing are approved and, upon execution and delivery of the agreements and documents relating thereto by the applicable parties, shall be in full force and effect and valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms without the need for any further notice to or action, order or approval of this Court, or other act or action under applicable law, regulation, order or rule. The Debtors, and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors, are authorized, without further approval of this Court or any other party, to execute and deliver all agreements, documents, instruments, securities and certificates relating to such agreements and perform their obligations thereunder, including, without limitation, payment of all fees due thereunder or in connection therewith.

 
-25-

 

7.            Consolidation of the Guarantor Debtors for Distribution and Voting Purposes.

(a)            As no objections to the consolidation of the Guarantor Debtors in Classes 1 through 5 and 7 have been filed or served by any party, pursuant to Article IV of the Plan the consolidation of the Guarantor Debtors in Classes 1 through 5 and 7 solely for voting and distribution purposes is hereby approved. Solely for purposes of implementing the Plan, and for no other purposes: (i) all assets and liabilities of the Guarantor Debtors will be deemed to be merged solely for purposes of the Plan, voting and distributions to be made thereunder, (ii) the obligations of each Guarantor Debtor will be deemed to be the obligation of the consolidated Guarantor Debtors solely for purposes of the Plan, voting and distributions hereunder, (iii) any Claims filed or to be filed in connection with any such obligations will be deemed Claims against the consolidated Guarantor Debtors, (iv) each Claim filed in the Chapter 11 Case of any Guarantor Debtor will be deemed filed against the Guarantor Debtors in the consolidated Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the consolidation of the assets and liabilities of the Debtors, (v) all transfers, disbursements and distributions made by any Guarantor Debtor hereunder will be deemed to be made by the consolidated Guarantor Debtors, and (vi) all guarantees of the Guarantor Debtors of the obligations of any other Guarantor Debtors shall be deemed eliminated so that any Claim against any Guarantor Debtor and any guarantee thereof executed by any other Guarantor Debtor and any joint or several liability of any of the Guarantor Debtors shall be deemed to be one obligation of the consolidated Guarantor Debtors.

 
-26-

 

(b)            Such consolidation (other than for the purpose of implementing the Plan) shall not affect (i) the legal and corporate structure of the Reorganized Debtors; (ii) guarantees that are required to be maintained post-Effective Date (a) in connection with Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that were entered into during the Chapter 11 Cases or that have been, or will hereunder be, assumed, (b) pursuant to the express terms of the Plan, or (c) in connection with the New Senior Facilities; or (iii) each Guarantor Debtor’s obligation to file the necessary operating reports and pay any required fees pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a)(6) (such obligations shall continue until an order is entered closing, dismissing or converting each such Guarantor Debtor’s Chapter 11 Case). In addition, such consolidation shall not (a) constitute a waiver of the mutuality requirement for setoff under section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or (b) otherwise provide the basis for the assertion of any setoff or rights of subrogation or recoupment of any kind, directly or indirectly, against any obligation due a Debtor, its estate or its assets, or any direct or indirect successor in interest to a Debtor, or any assets or property of such successor.

8.            Continued Corporate Existence and Vesting of Assets. Except as set forth in the Plan: (i) each Debtor will, as a Reorganized Debtor, continue to exist after the Effective Date as a separate legal entity, with all of the powers of such a legal entity under applicable law and without prejudice to any right to alter or terminate such existence (whether by merger, dissolution or otherwise) under applicable law; and (ii) on the Effective Date, all property of the Estate of a Debtor, and any property acquired by a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor under the Plan, will vest, in such Reorganized Debtor free and clear of all Claims, Liens, charges, other encumbrances, Equity Interests and other interests (subject to Liens and Claims established on the Effective Date under the Plan, including in respect of the New Senior 2010 Facility and the New Senior 2011 Facility). On and after the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor may operate its business and may use, acquire and dispose of property and compromise or settle any claims without supervision or approval by the Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules, subject only to those restrictions expressly imposed by the Plan or this Order as well as the documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection with the Plan, including the documents, exhibits, instruments, and other materials comprising the Plan Supplement. Without limiting the foregoing, each Reorganized Debtor may pay the charges that it incurs from and after the Effective Date for Fee Claims, disbursements, expenses or related support services (including fees relating to the preparation of Professional fee applications) without application to, or the approval of, the Court.

 
-27-

 

9.            General Settlement of Claims and Interests. As one element of, and in consideration for, an overall negotiated settlement of numerous disputed Claims and issues embodied in the Plan, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and in consideration for the classification, Distributions, Releases and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall upon consummation constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all Claims, Interests and controversies resolved pursuant to the Plan. In accordance with the Plan, all distributions made pursuant to the Plan to holders of Allowed Claims and Interests in any Class are intended to be and shall be final.

 
-28-

 

10.            DIP Facility Claims.

(a)            The DIP Facility Claims are Allowed superpriority Administrative Claims in the full amount due and owing under the DIP Facility as of the Effective Date. Except to the extent that a holder of a DIP Facility Claim agrees in writing to lesser treatment, in full satisfaction of and in exchange for each DIP Facility Claim, each holder of a DIP Facility Claim shall receive indefeasible payment in an amount equal to such DIP Facility Claim in full, in Cash prior to or on the Effective Date.

(b)            Upon indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of all DIP Facility Claims, the DIP Credit Agreement and all “DIP Loan Documents” as defined therein, and all Liens and security interests granted to secure the DIP Facility Claims, will be immediately terminated, extinguished and released, in each case without further notice to or order of this Court, act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule and without any or further vote, consent, authorization or approval of any Person, and the DIP Agent will promptly execute and deliver to the Reorganized Debtors, at the Reorganized Debtors” sole cost and expense, such instruments of termination, release, satisfaction and/or assignment (in recordable form) as may be reasonably requested by the Reorganized Debtors. Notwithstanding the above, any indemnity provisions contained in the DIP Credit Agreement and any “DIP Loan Document” as defined therein will survive such termination, release and satisfaction in the manner and to the extent set forth therein. Upon the Effective Date, the DIP Lenders’ respective commitments, if any, to provide financing under the DIP Credit Agreement and the DIP Financing Order, shall be terminated without any further action by any party.

Any default by the Debtors or their affiliates with respect to any Claim or Equity Interest that existed immediately before or on account of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases shall be deemed cured on the Effective Date. This Order shall be a judicial determination of the discharge of all Claims and Equity Interests subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date.

 
-30-

 

(a)            Injunction. The Plan injunction provisions set forth in Article VI.E of the Plan are approved in all respects, are incorporated herein in their entirety, are so ordered and shall be immediately effective on the Effective Date of the Plan without further order or action on the part of the Court or any other party.

From and after the Effective Date, all persons are permanently enjoined from commencing or continuing in any manner, any cause of action released or to be released pursuant to the Plan or this Order.

From and after the Effective Date, to the extent of the releases and exculpation granted in Article VI of the Plan, the releasing persons shall be permanently enjoined from commencing or continuing in any manner against the released parties and their assets and properties, as the case may be, any suit, cause of action, or other proceeding, on account of or respecting any claim, demand, liability, obligation, debt, right, cause of action, equity interest or remedy released or to be released pursuant to Article VI of the Plan or this Order.

-31-

 

The rights afforded in the Plan and the treatment of all Claims and Equity Interests therein shall be in exchange for and in complete satisfaction of all claims and equity interests of any nature whatsoever, including any interest accrued on claims from and after the Petition Date, against the Debtors or any of their assets, property or estates. On the Effective Date, all such Claims against the Debtors shall be fully released and discharged, and the Equity Interests shall be cancelled.

Except as otherwise expressly provided for in the Plan or in obligations issued pursuant to the Plan from and after the Effective Date, all Claims against the Debtors shall be fully released and discharged, and all Equity Interests shall be cancelled, and the Debtors’ liability with respect thereto shall be extinguished completely, including any liability of the kind specified under section 502(g) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 
-32-

Except as specifically provided in the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors shall have, retain, reserve and be entitled to assert all such claims, Causes of Action, rights of setoff and other legal or equitable defenses that the Debtors had immediately before the Petition Date as fully as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced, and all of the Reorganized Debtors’ legal and equitable rights respecting any claim that is not specifically waived or relinquished by the Plan may be asserted after the Effective Date to the same extent as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced. No Person may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan or the Disclosure Statement to any Cause of Action against them as any indication that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against such Person. The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Person, in accordance with the Plan.

The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered pursuant to an order of the Court entered on November 18, 2011 [Docket No. 22]. Claims against, and Equity Interests in, the Debtors will be treated as set forth herein. Reference is made to the Disclosure Statement accompanying the Plan, including the exhibits thereto, for a discussion of the Debtors’ history, business, properties, results of operations, and projections for future operations and risk factors, together with a summary and analysis of the Plan.

NO SOLICITATION MATERIALS, OTHER THAN THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, THE NOTICE OF PLAN MODIFICATIONS AND RELATED MATERIALS TRANSMITTED THEREWITH AS APPROVED BY THE COURT PURSUANT TO THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT ORDER, HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED BY THE COURT FOR USE IN SOLICITING ACCEPTANCES OR REJECTIONS OF THIS PLAN.

Unless otherwise defined herein the following terms shall have the respective meanings set forth below:

1.            Accredited Investor: means an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

If a Claim is Allowed only in part, references to Allowed Claims include and are limited to the Allowed portion of such Claim.

Interpretation, Application of Definitions and Rules of Construction.

Capitalized terms in the Plan shall have the meaning assigned to them in Article I.A. Capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the same meanings assigned to such terms by the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules, as the case may be. Meanings of capitalized terms shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms. The words “herein,” “hereof,” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to the Plan as a whole (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Plan Supplement) and not to any particular section or subsection in the Plan unless expressly provided otherwise. The words “includes” and “including” are not limiting and mean that the things specifically identified are set forth for purposes of illustration, clarity or specificity and do not in any respect qualify, characterize or limit the generality of the class within which such things are included. Captions and headings to articles, sections and exhibits are inserted for convenience of reference only, are not a part of this Plan, and shall not be used to interpret this Plan. The rules of construction set forth in section 102 of the Bankruptcy Code shall apply to this Plan. In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by this Plan, the provisions of Bankruptcy Rule 9006(a) shall apply.

ARTICLE II.
ADMINISTRATIVE AND PRIORITY CLAIMS

In accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims, and Fee Claims, as described below, have not been classified and thus are excluded from the classes of Claims and Equity Interests set forth in Article III.

 
A.
Administrative Claims.

1.            Treatment of Administrative Claims Other than Fee Claims.

Each holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim (other than an Administrative Claim that is a Fee Claim) as of the Effective Date shall receive from the Debtors (i) Cash in an amount equal to the amount of such Allowed Administrative Claim as soon as practicable after the later of (a) on the Effective Date if such Administrative Claim is Allowed as of the Effective Date, (b) thirty (30) days after the date such Administrative Claim becomes an Allowed Administrative Claim if such Administrative Claim is Disputed as of or following the Effective Date, (c) the date such Allowed Administrative Claim becomes due and payable by its terms, or as soon thereafter as is practicable or (ii) such other treatment as the Debtors (with the consent of the Oaktree Plan Sponsors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such holder shall have agreed upon in writing; provided, however, that Allowed Administrative Claims other than Fee Claims that arise in the ordinary course of the Debtors’ business shall be paid in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of any agreements governing, instruments evidencing or other documents relating to such transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except to the extent that a holder of a DIP Facility Claim agrees in writing to lesser treatment, each holder of a DIP Facility Claim shall receive payment in an amount equal to such DIP Facility Claim in full, in Cash on the Effective Date as set forth in Article II.D of the Plan.

Holders of Administrative Claims that are required to, but do not, file and serve a request for payment of such Administrative Claims by such date shall be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from asserting such Administrative Claims against the Debtors or their property and such Administrative Claims shall be deemed discharged as of the Effective Date.

ARTICLE III.
CLASSIFICATION AND TREATMENT OF
CLAIMS AND EQUITY INTERESTS

All Claims against the Debtors (other than those Claims specified in Article II) and Equity Interests in the Debtors are placed in the Classes set forth below. A Claim or Equity Interest is placed in a particular Class only to the extent that the Claim or Equity Interest falls within the description of that Class, and is classified in other Classes to the extent that any portion of the Claim or Equity Interest falls within the description of such other Classes. A Claim is also placed in a particular Class for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan only to the extent that such Claim is an Allowed Claim in that Class and such Claim has not been paid, released, or otherwise settled before the Effective Date.

 
A.
Class Identification and Status.

The Plan constitutes a separate chapter 11 plan of reorganization for each Non-Guarantor Debtor and a consolidated chapter 11 plan of reorganization for each Guarantor Debtor for voting and distribution purposes as set forth in Article IV with respect to Classes 1 through 5 and Class 7. The classification set forth in the Classes below shall be deemed to apply to each Debtor, except as follows:

 
20

 

 
1.
The Guarantor Debtors’ Plans do not contain a Class 6.

 
2.
The Non-Guarantor Debtors’ Plans do not contain a Class 3, Class 4, Class 5, Class 7 or Class 10.

In addition, certain of the Guarantor Debtors and the Non-Guarantor Debtors may not have creditors in certain other Classes. If a particular Debtor does not have creditors in one or more Classes, then such Class will not apply to that Debtor.

Section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be satisfied for the purposes of Confirmation by acceptance of the Plan by an Impaired Class of Claims; provided, however, that in the event no holder of a Claim with respect to a specific Class for a particular Debtor timely submits a Ballot that complies with the Disclosure Statement Order and/or Order Authorizing Plan Modifications indicating acceptance or rejection of the Plan, such Class will be deemed to have accepted the Plan. The Debtors shall seek Confirmation of the Plan pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any rejecting Class of Claims or Interests. The Debtors (with the consent of the Oaktree Plan Sponsors) reserve the right to modify the Plan in accordance with Article X.F hereof, including the right to withdraw the Plan as to an individual Debtor at any time before the Effective Date. Below is a chart identifying each separate Class for each Debtor (as applicable), a description of whether the Class is Impaired and the Class’s voting rights:

ARTICLE IV.
MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN

 
A.
Consolidation of the Guarantor Debtors for Distribution and Voting Purposes.

The Guarantor Debtors’ Estates are being consolidated for voting and distribution purposes only. Such consolidation applies to the Claims classified in Classes 1 through 5 and Class 7. The Debtors propose consolidation to avoid the inefficiency of proposing and voting in respect of entity-specific Claims for which there would be no impact on distributions. Holders of Allowed Claims in each Class of Guarantor Debtors shall be entitled to their share of assets available for distribution to such Class without regard to which Guarantor Debtor was originally liable for such Claim. The Debtors believe that no creditor of the Guarantor Debtors will receive a recovery inferior to that which it would receive if they proposed a plan that was completely separate as to each Guarantor Debtor. Intercompany Claims shall be treated as provided in Class 8 of this Plan.

 
26

 

Pursuant to the Confirmation Order (i) all assets and liabilities of the consolidated Guarantor Debtors will be deemed to be merged solely for purposes of this Plan, voting and distributions to be made hereunder, (ii) the obligations of each Guarantor Debtor will be deemed to be the obligation of the consolidated Guarantor Debtors solely for purposes of this Plan, voting and distributions hereunder, (iii) any Claims filed or to be filed in connection with any such obligations will be deemed Claims against the consolidated Guarantor Debtors, (iv) each Claim filed in the Chapter 11 Case of any Guarantor Debtor will be deemed filed against the Guarantor Debtors in the consolidated Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the consolidation of the assets and liabilities of the Debtors, (v) all transfers, disbursements and distributions made by any Guarantor Debtor hereunder will be deemed to be made by the consolidated Guarantor Debtors, and (vi) all guarantees of the Guarantor Debtors of the obligations of any other Guarantor Debtors shall be deemed eliminated so that any Claim against any Guarantor Debtor and any guarantee thereof executed by any other Guarantor Debtor and any joint or several liability of any of the Guarantor Debtors shall be deemed to be one obligation of the consolidated Guarantor Debtors.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such consolidation shall not affect: (i) the legal and corporate structure of the Reorganized Debtors; (ii) guarantees that are required to be maintained post-Effective Date (a) in connection with executory contracts or unexpired leases that were entered into during the Chapter 11 Cases or that have been, or will hereunder be, assumed, (b) pursuant to the express terms of the Plan, or (c) in connection with the New Senior Facilities; or (iii) each Guarantor Debtor’s obligation to file the necessary operating reports and pay any required fees pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a)(6) (such obligations shall continue until an order is entered closing, dismissing or converting each such Debtor’s Chapter 11 Case).

The Plan shall serve as, and shall be deemed to be, a motion for entry of an order consolidating the Estates of the Guarantor Debtors as set forth in this Plan. If no objection to consolidation under this Plan is timely filed and served, then the holders of Claims against the Guarantor Debtors will be deemed to have consented to consolidation for the purpose of this Plan only and the Court may approve consolidation of the Debtors’ Estates of the Guarantor Debtors in the Confirmation Order. If such objection to the consolidation provided for in this Plan is timely filed and served, a hearing with respect to the consolidation of the Estates of the Guarantor Debtors and the objections thereto shall be scheduled by the Court, which hearing may coincide with the Confirmation Hearing. If a party-in-interest challenges the proposed consolidation, the Debtors reserve the right to establish at the confirmation hearing the ability to confirm that Plan on an entity-by-entity basis.

 
B.

The New GMR Common Stock issued under the Plan (whether acquired on the Effective Date or upon exercise of the New GMR Warrants) will have the following rights and transfer restrictions (which terms may be set forth in the Shareholders Agreement and/or the New GMR Charter):

(a)            Tag Rights. Upon any transfer of New GMR Common Stock by OCM, the Oaktree Plan Sponsors, or each of their respective affiliates or designees who own the New GMR Common Stock, each other holder of New GMR Common Stock that owns an aggregate amount of at least 0.15% of all New GMR Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (calculated as a percentage of the New GMR Common Stock held by such holder, assuming the exercise of all outstanding New GMR Warrants) shall have customary tag-along rights based on the actual number of shares of New GMR Common Stock owned. Upon a transfer of the New GMR Common Stock by OCM, the Oaktree Plan Sponsors, and each of their respective affiliates or designees who own the New GMR Common Stock of all or substantially all of their owned New GMR Common Stock on an aggregate basis, each other holder of the New GMR Common Stock who holds such shares on account of an Allowed Class 7 General Unsecured Claim against the Guarantor Debtors shall have customary tag-along rights based on the actual number of shares owned by such holder.

(b)            Drag Rights. OCM, the Oaktree Plan Sponsors and the Non-Oaktree Plan Sponsors and each of their respective affiliates or designees who own the New GMR Common Stock shall have customary drag-along rights (unless such rights are not permitted by the procedures or rules of the DTC or if such transfer would otherwise render the New GMR Common Stock ineligible for participation in the DTC).

(c)            Preemptive Right. The Shareholders Agreement shall provide for preemptive rights (based on the actual number of owned shares of New GMR Common Stock) in the event Reorganized GMR issues equity to OCM, the Oaktree Plan Sponsors, or any of their respective affiliates at a discount to the price of a single share of the New GMR Stock implied by the Plan on the Effective Date. Such preemptive rights shall be provided to each holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim against a Guarantor Debtor that (1) is a QIB or an Accredited Investor and (2) owns an aggregate amount of at least 0.15% of all New GMR Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (calculated as a percentage of the New GMR Common Stock held by such holder, assuming the exercise of all outstanding New GMR Warrants). Any shares or other securities issued to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims against a Guarantor Debtor pursuant to the exercise of such preemptive rights shall bear the same terms as all other shares or securities issued by Reorganized GMR to OCM, the Oaktree Plan Sponsors, or any of their respective affiliates (as applicable) under this paragraph.

(d)            Transfer Restrictions. No stockholder (other than OCM, the Oaktree Plan Sponsors, the Non-Oaktree Plan Sponsors, or each their respective designees or affiliates) may sell, exchange, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer such shares of New GMR Common Stock if such transfer would result in the New GMR Common Stock being held of record by more than 200 Persons as determined pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, unless such transfer is expressly approved by the New Board prior to such transfer or unless, without accounting for such transfer, Reorganized GMR is at the time otherwise subject, or with the passage of time will be subject, to the reporting requirements of Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Additionally, the New GMR Charter shall prohibit each holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim against a Guarantor Debtor from transferring any shares of New GMR Common Stock during the 180-day period after an initial public offering. The New GMR Charter shall provide that, if requested by the New Board, each holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim against a Guarantor Debtor shall be required to sign a lock-up agreement with the underwriter(s) associated with such initial public offering.

The ownership interest of each holder of such New GMR Warrants, and transfers of ownership interests therein, will be recorded on the records of the direct and indirect participants in DTC. To receive distributions of New GMR Warrants, holders of Class 7 Claims who will not be affiliates of Reorganized GMR will be required to designate a direct or indirect participant in DTC with whom such holder has an account into which such New GMR Warrants may be deposited.

Beneficial owners of such New GMR Warrants will be required to follow such procedures as DTC or its direct or indirect participants may establish for exercising their rights in respect of the New GMR Warrants, including exercise and transfer thereof.

Nothing contained in this Plan, the Plan Supplement or the Confirmation Order shall be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of any claim, Cause of Action, right of setoff, or other legal or equitable defense of the Debtors that is not specifically waived or relinquished by this Plan. The Reorganized Debtors shall have, retain, reserve and be entitled to assert all such claims, Causes of Action, rights of setoff and other legal or equitable defenses that the Debtors had immediately before the Petition Date as fully as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced, and all of the Reorganized Debtors’ legal and equitable rights respecting any claim that is not specifically waived or relinquished by this Plan may be asserted after the Effective Date to the same extent as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced. No Person may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan or the Disclosure Statement to any Cause of Action against them as any indication that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against such Person.

G.
Votes Solicited in Good Faith.

The Debtors have, and upon entry of the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to have, solicited acceptances of the Plan in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors (and each of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers, members, employees and Professionals) have participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code in the offer and issuance of the securities offered and sold under the Plan and therefore have not been, and on account of such offer and issuance will not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or the offer or issuance of the securities offered and distributed under the Plan.

 
H.
Cancellation of Existing Securities.

On the Effective Date, except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan: (i) the obligations of the Debtors under the Prepetition Senior Credit Agreements, the OCM Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes Indenture, and any other certificate, share, note, bond, indenture, purchase right, option, warrant or other instrument or document directly or indirectly evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligation of or ownership interest in the Debtors giving rise to any Claim or Equity Interest (except such certificates, notes or other instruments or documents evidencing indebtedness or obligations of the Debtors that are specifically reinstated pursuant to the Plan), shall be cancelled as to the Debtors, and the Reorganized Debtors shall not have any continuing obligations thereunder; and (ii) the obligations of the Debtors pursuant, relating or pertaining to any agreements, indentures, certificates of designation, bylaws or certificate or articles of incorporation or similar documents governing the shares, certificates, notes, bonds, purchase rights, options, warrants or other instruments or documents evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligation of the Debtors (except such agreements, certificates, notes or other instruments evidencing indebtedness or obligations of the Debtors that are specifically reinstated pursuant to the Plan or assumed by the Debtors) shall be released and discharged; provided, however, notwithstanding the occurrence of the Confirmation Date or the Effective Date, that any such indenture or agreement that governs the rights of the holder of a Claim shall continue in effect solely for purposes of (a) allowing holders of such Claims to receive distributions under the Plan as provided herein, (b) allowing the Prepetition Agent and/or the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee to make distributions under the Plan as provided herein, and deduct therefrom such reasonable compensation, fees, and expenses due thereunder or incurred in making such distributions, to the extent not paid by the Debtors and authorized under such indenture or agreement, (c) allowing the Prepetition Agent and/or the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee to seek compensation and/or reimbursement of fees and expenses in accordance with the terms of the Plan, (d) allowing the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee to exercise any charging liens it may have under the Senior Notes Indenture against any such distributions and (e) preserving any charging lien or indemnification rights of the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee under the Senior Notes Indenture against the holders of the Senior Notes.

Releases, Exculpations and Injunctions of Released Parties.

1.            Releases by the Debtors. On the Effective Date, and notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, on behalf of themselves and their estates, and the Non-Debtor Guarantor Subsidiaries shall be deemed to release unconditionally the Released Parties from any and all claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, rights, Causes of Action and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise, assertable on behalf of or derivative from the Debtors, based in whole or in part upon actions taken solely in their respective capacities described herein or any omission, transaction, agreement, event, or other occurrence taking place on or before the Effective Date in any way relating to the Debtors, the Disclosure Statement, the Chapter 11 Cases, or the Plan, provided, however, that (a) no individual shall be released from any act or omission that constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a Final Order, (b) the Reorganized Debtors shall not relinquish or waive the right to assert any of the foregoing as a legal or equitable defense or right of set-off or recoupment against any Claims of any such persons asserted against the Debtors, (c) the foregoing release shall not apply to any obligations that remain outstanding in respect of loans or advances made to individuals by the Debtors or to any obligations under the New 2010 Facility Credit Agreement or the New 2011 Facility Credit Agreement outstanding as of the Effective Date, and (d) the foregoing release applies to the Released Parties solely in their respective capacities described herein.

2.            Releases by Holders of Claims. On the Effective Date, and notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, each Person who directly or indirectly, has held, holds, or may hold Claims who submits a Ballot but does not elect to opt out of the releases contained in this paragraph will be deemed, by virtue of their receipt of distributions and/or other treatment contemplated under the Plan, to have forever released and covenanted with the Released Parties not to (i) sue or otherwise seek recovery from any Released Party on account of any Claim, including any Claim or Cause of Action based upon tort, breach of contract, violations of federal or state securities laws or otherwise, based upon any act, occurrence, or failure to act from the beginning of time through the Effective Date in any way related to the Debtors or their business and affairs or (ii) assert against any Released Party any Claim, obligation, right, Cause of Action or liability that any holder of a Claim may be entitled to assert, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereafter arising, based in whole or in part on any act or omission, transaction, or occurrence from the beginning of time through the Effective Date in any way relating to the Debtors, the Chapter 11 Cases, or the Plan, provided, however, the foregoing release will not (i) apply to obligations arising under the Plan, (ii) apply to obligations arising under the New Senior Facilities, (iii) be construed to prohibit a party in interest from seeking to enforce the terms of the Plan, (iv) apply to any act or omission that constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a Final Order and (v) release the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as indenture trustee under the Senior Notes Indenture. The foregoing releases apply to the Released Parties solely in their respective capacities described herein.

3.            Exculpation and Injunction. The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and the other Released Parties (i) shall have no liability whatsoever to any holder or purported holder of an Administrative Claim, Claim, or Equity Interest for any act or omission that occurred during and in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases or in connection with, or arising out of the preparation and filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the negotiation of the Plan, the negotiation of the documents included in the Plan Supplement, the pursuit of approval of the Disclosure Statement or the solicitation of votes for confirmation of the Plan, the Chapter 11 Cases, the consummation of the Plan, the administration of the Plan or the property to be distributed under the Plan, or any transaction contemplated by the Plan or Disclosure Statement or in furtherance thereof except for any act or omission that constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a Final Order, and (ii) in all respects, shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities under the Plan. This exculpation shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, all other releases, indemnities, exculpations and any other applicable law or rules protecting such Released Parties from liability. Pursuant to section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code, no holder or purported holder of an Administrative Claim, Claim or Equity Interest shall be permitted to commence or continue any Cause of Action, employment of process, or any act to collect, offset, or recover any Claim against a Released Party that accrued on or before the Effective Date and that has been released or waived pursuant to this Plan.

 
43

 

All injunctions or stays provided for in the Chapter 11 Cases under sections 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise, and in existence on the Confirmation Date, shall remain in full force and effect until the Effective Date.

4.            Liabilities to, and Rights of, Governmental Units.

As to the United States of America, its agencies, departments, or agents (collectively, the “United States”), nothing in the Plan or Confirmation Order shall limit or expand the scope of discharge, release or injunction to which the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors are entitled to under the Bankruptcy Code. The discharge, release and injunction provisions contained in the Plan and Confirmation Order are not intended and shall not be construed to bar the United States from, subsequent to the Confirmation Order, pursuing any police or regulatory action, except to the extent those discharge and injunctive provisions bar a Governmental Unit from pursuing Claims.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or Confirmation Order to the contrary, nothing in the Plan or Confirmation Order shall discharge, release, impair or otherwise preclude: (1) any liability to a Governmental Unit that is not a Claim; (2) any Claim of a Governmental Unit arising on or after the Confirmation Date; (3) any valid right of setoff or recoupment of the United States against any of the Debtors; or (4) any liability of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors under environmental law to any Governmental Unit as the owner or operator of property that such entity owns or operates after the Confirmation Date, except those obligations to reimburse costs expended or paid by a Governmental Unit before the Petition Date or to pay penalties owing to a Governmental Unit for violations of environmental laws or regulations that occurred before the Petition Date. Nor shall anything in the Plan or Confirmation Order: (i) enjoin or otherwise bar the United States or any Governmental Unit from asserting or enforcing, outside the Bankruptcy Court, any liability described in the preceding sentence; or (ii) divest any court of jurisdiction to determine whether any liabilities asserted by the United States or any Governmental Unit are discharged or otherwise barred by the Plan, Confirmation Order, or the Bankruptcy Code.

Moreover, nothing in the Plan or Confirmation Order shall release or exculpate any non-debtor, including any Released Parties, from any liability to the United States, including but not limited to any liabilities arising under the Internal Revenue Code, the environmental laws, or the criminal laws against the Released Parties, nor shall anything in the Plan or Confirmation Order enjoin the United States from bringing any claim, suit, action or other proceeding against the Released Parties for any liability whatsoever; provided, however, that the foregoing sentence shall not limit the scope of discharge granted to the Debtors under sections 524 and 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 
K.
Preservation of Insurance.

The Debtors’ discharge and release from all Claims as provided herein shall not, except as necessary to be consistent with this Plan, diminish or impair the enforceability of any insurance policy that may provide coverage for Claims against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, their current and former directors and officers, or any other Person. Prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors shall obtain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance tail coverage for all of their current and former directors and officers, which coverage shall extend for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Effective Date and contain terms no less favorable to such directors and officers as the terms of the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies issued to the Debtors.

 
44

 

 
L.
Indemnification of the Oaktree Plan Sponsors.

The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall indemnify and hold harmless the Oaktree Plan Sponsors and each of their respective predecessors, Professionals, successors and assigns, subsidiaries, funds, portfolio companies, affiliates, holders of Equity Interests, partners, and agents, and each of their respective current and former officers, directors, employees, managers, attorneys, financial advisors, accountants, investment bankers, consultants, management companies or other professionals or representatives for any Losses incurred solely in their capacity as Oaktree Plan Sponsors, except to the extent such Losses were the result of any such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by Final Order.

ARTICLE VII.
DISTRIBUTIONS UNDER THE PLAN

 
A.
Allowed Claims.

1.            Delivery of Distributions. Distributions under the Plan shall be made by the Reorganized Debtors (or their agent or designee) to the holders of Allowed Claims in all Classes for which a distribution is provided in this Plan at the addresses set forth on the Schedules, unless such addresses are superseded by Proofs of Claim or transfers of Claim filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001 by the Record Date (or at the last known addresses of such holders if the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors have been notified in writing of a change of address).

2.            Distribution of Cash. Any payment of Cash by the Reorganized Debtors pursuant to the Plan shall be made at the option and in the sole discretion of the Reorganized Debtors by (i) a check drawn on, or (ii) wire transfer from, a domestic bank selected by the Reorganized Debtors.

3.            Unclaimed Distributions of Cash. Any distribution of Cash under the Plan that is unclaimed after six months after it has been delivered (or attempted to be delivered) shall, pursuant to section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, become the property of the Reorganized Debtor against which such Claim was Allowed notwithstanding any state or other escheat or similar laws to the contrary, and the entitlement by the holder of such unclaimed Allowed Claim to such distribution or any subsequent distribution on account of such Allowed Claim shall be extinguished and forever barred.

4.            Distributions of New GMR Common Stock to the Oaktree Plan Sponsors and OCM. On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors (or their agent or designee) shall distribute the New Equity Investment Shares and the Commitment Fee GMR Common Stock to the Oaktree Plan Sponsors and the Non-Oaktree Plan Sponsors, if any, (or their designees), and shall distribute the OCM Conversion Shares to the holders of the OCM Secured Claim (or their designees).

 
45

 

5.            Distributions of the Unsecured Creditor Distribution. On or as soon as is reasonably practicable after the Effective Date or, if the Unsecured Claims Reserve Order is entered after the Effective Date, as soon as reasonably practicable after entry of the Unsecured Claims Reserve Order, and from time to time thereafter, the Reorganized Debtors (or their agent or designee) shall make distributions in accordance with Article VII. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, all distributions payable under the Plan to holders of Senior Notes shall be paid by Reorganized GMR to the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee, which shall distribute such distributions (net of any fees, costs and expenses of the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee payable from such distributions under the Indenture or applicable law), or cause such distributions (net of any such fees, costs and expenses) to be distributed, to the holders of the Senior Notes in accordance with the terms of the Senior Notes Indenture. Distributions of the Unsecured Creditor Distribution may be made by means of book-entry exchange through the facilities of DTC in accordance with the customary practices of DTC, as and to the extent practicable. In connection with such book-entry exchange, the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee may deliver instructions to DTC directing DTC to effect such distributions as provided under the Plan.

6.            Unclaimed Distributions of New GMR Common Stock and New GMR Warrants. Any distribution of New GMR Common Stock and New GMR Warrants under the Plan that is unclaimed after six months after it has been delivered (or attempted to be delivered) shall be held by the Reorganized Debtors, notwithstanding any state or other escheat or similar laws to the contrary, the entitlement by the holder of such Allowed Claim to such distribution or any subsequent distribution on account of such Allowed Claim shall be extinguished and forever barred.

7.            Saturdays, Sundays, or Legal Holidays. If any payment, distribution or act under the Plan is required to be made or performed on a date that is not a Business Day, then the making of such payment or the performance of such act may be completed on the next succeeding Business Day, and shall be deemed to have been completed as of the required date.

8.            Fractional New GMR Common Stock and New GMR Warrants and De Minimis Distributions. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, no fractional shares of New GMR Common Stock or New GMR Warrants shall be issued or distributed pursuant to the Plan. Whenever any payment of a fraction of a share of New GMR Common Stock or a New GMR Warrant would otherwise be required under the Plan, the actual distribution made shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole share (up or down), with half shares or less being rounded down and fractions in excess of a half of a share being rounded up. If two or more holders are entitled to equal fractional entitlements and the number of holders so entitled exceeds the number of whole shares, as the case may be, that remain to be allocated, the Reorganized Debtors shall allocate the remaining whole shares to such holders by random lot or such other impartial method as the Reorganized Debtors deem fair, in their sole discretion. Upon the allocation of all of the whole New GMR Common Stock and New GMR Warrants authorized under the Plan, all remaining fractional portions of the entitlements shall be canceled and shall be of no further force and effect. The Reorganized Debtors shall not be required to, but may in their sole and absolute discretion, make any payment on account of any Claim in the event that the costs of making such payment exceeds the amount of such payment.

 
46

 

9.            Distributions for Claims Allowed as of the Effective Date (other than Claims against the Guarantor Debtors). Except with respect to General Unsecured Claims against the Guarantor Debtors, on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, or as otherwise expressly set forth in the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors (or their agent or designee) shall distribute Cash, New GMR Common Stock, the New GMR Warrants, or Collateral, as the case may be, to the holders of Allowed Claims as contemplated herein. Distributions to General Unsecured Claims against the Guarantor Debtors shall be set forth in Article VII.B.

10.            Distributions for Claims Allowed after the Effective Date (other than Claims against the Guarantor Debtors). Each holder of a Claim (other than with respect to a General Unsecured Claim against a Guarantor Debtor) that becomes an Allowed Claim subsequent to the Effective Date shall receive the distribution to which such holder of an Allowed Claim is entitled as set forth in Article III. Each holder of a General Unsecured Claim against a Non-Guarantor Debtor that becomes an Allowed Claim subsequent to the Effective Date shall receive the distribution to which such holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim is entitled at such time that the Reorganized Debtors determine, in their discretion, to make subsequent distributions to a holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim against a Non-Guarantor Debtor following the Effective Date, provided that the Reorganized Debtors shall make such distributions at least annually after the Effective Date. Nothing set forth herein is intended to, nor shall it, prohibit the Reorganized Debtors, in their discretion, from making a distribution on account of any Claim at any time after such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. Distributions to General Unsecured Claims against the Guarantor Debtors shall be set forth in Article VII.B.

11.            The Record Date. As of the close of business on the Record Date, the claims register (for Claims) and transfer ledger (for Equity Interests) shall be closed, and there shall be no further changes in the record holders of any Claims or Equity Interests. The Reorganized Debtors shall have no obligation to, but may in their discretion, recognize any transfer of any Claims or Equity Interests occurring after the Record Date. The Reorganized Debtors shall instead be entitled to recognize and deal for purposes under the Plan with only those record holders stated on the claims register (for Claims) and transfer ledgers (for Equity Interests) as of the close of business on the Record Date.

12.            Interest on Claims. Except as specifically provided for in the Plan, no Claims, Allowed or otherwise (including Administrative Claims), shall be entitled, under any circumstances, to receive any interest on a Claim.

 
B.
Unsecured Creditor Distribution Escrow Account.

1.            Establishment of Unsecured Creditor Distribution Escrow Account. On the Effective Date, the Debtors shall establish and fund the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Escrow Account with the Unsecured Creditor Distribution. Consideration held in the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Escrow Account shall not constitute property of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors. The Unsecured Creditor Distribution Escrow Account may be in an interest-bearing account.

 
47

 

2.            Motion to Establish the Unsecured Claims Reserve. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article VII.E hereof and in accordance with the terms and conditions and timing set forth in the Plan Support Agreement, the Debtors shall file a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking entry of the Unsecured Claims Reserve Order.

3.            Distributions from the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Escrow Account. On or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date or, if the Unsecured Claims Reserve Order is entered after the Effective Date, as soon as reasonably practicable after entry of the Unsecured Claims Reserve Order, the Reorganized Debtors (or their agent or designee) shall make the Initial Distribution. With respect to General Unsecured Claims against the Guarantor Debtors that are not Allowed as of the Effective Date other than Rejection Damage Claims, the Reorganized Debtors (or a designated agent thereof) may make periodic distributions from the Unsecured Claims Reserve to such Claims following their allowance, provided, however, that the amounts to be distributed to any holder of such Claim shall be such holder’s Pro Rata share of the Unsecured Claims Reserve based on the lesser of (a) the distribution that would have been paid on account of such Claim if it had been Allowed as of the Effective Date, and (b) the Allowed amount of such holder’s Claim as a percentage of the total of the Unsecured Claims Reserve as remains on the date the Reorganized Debtors make a distribution on account of such Allowed Claim. The Reorganized Debtors (or a designated agent thereof) may not make any distributions on account of Rejection Damage Claims until and unless (i) all Rejection Damage Claims against the Guarantor Debtors and other General Unsecured Claims against the Guarantor Debtors (other than OCM Facility Deficiency Claims) have been liquidated or otherwise resolved, and (ii) the Reorganized Debtors provide the True-Up for Rejection Damage Claims, if any, pursuant to Article IX.D.

The Reorganized Debtors may determine, in their discretion, the timing for such distributions following the Initial Distribution, provided, that, the Reorganized Debtors shall make such distributions at least annually after the Effective Date. Nothing set forth herein is intended to, nor shall it, prohibit the Reorganized Debtors, in their discretion, from making a distribution on account of any Claim at any time after such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

4.            Remaining Balance and De Minimis Distributions. In the event there is a remaining balance in the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Escrow Account following payment to all holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims against the Guarantor Debtors in accordance with the Plan, such remaining amounts, if any, shall be distributed Pro Rata to holders of Allowed Class 7 Claims, provided, however, that if such remaining amounts are de minimis, such that the distribution would be administratively prohibitive, such remaining amounts shall be redistributed to Reorganized GMR.

5.            New GMR Common Stock and New GMR Warrants Held in Unsecured Creditor Distribution Escrow Account. New GMR Common Stock and New GMR Warrants in the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Escrow Account shall be held in an account with a direct or indirect participant of DTC in the name of Reorganized GMR or its nominee, and distributed to the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims in accordance with the Plan. New GMR Common Stock held in the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Escrow Account will not be deemed outstanding, and shall not have any voting rights, unless and until such shares are distributed in accordance with the terms hereof.

 
48

 

6.            Dividend and Interest Payments to the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Escrow Account. The Reorganized Debtors shall hold in the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Escrow Account any dividends, payments, or other distributions made on account of, as well as any obligations arising from, the New GMR Common Stock held in the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Escrow Account, at the time such distributions are made or such obligations arise, and such dividends, payments, or other distributions shall be held for the benefit of holders of Disputed General Unsecured Claims against the Guarantor Debtor whose Claims, if Allowed, are entitled to distributions under the Plan. The Reorganized Debtors shall pay, or cause to be paid, out of any dividends paid on account of New GMR Common Stock or New GMR Warrants held in the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Escrow Account, any tax imposed on the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Escrow Account by any Governmental Unit with respect to income generated by New GMR Common Stock and New GMR Warrants held in the Unsecured Claims Reserve and any costs associated with maintaining the Unsecured Claims Reserve.

7.            Tax Treatment of the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Escrow Account. The Reorganized Debtors may make an election pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.468B-9(c) to treat the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Escrow Account as a “disputed ownership fund” (the “DOF”). In the event that the Reorganized Debtors make such an election, the DOF would be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as a taxable entity separate from the holders of Unsecured Claims. The DOF, and not the holders of General Unsecured Claims against the Guarantor Debtors, would be treated as the owner of the assets in the DOF, including the New GMR Common Stock, New GMR Warrants and Cash from the Unsecured Creditor Distribution Escrow Account reserved for Allowed Unsecured Claims against the Guarantor Debtors. The DOF would be responsible for the payment of any taxes (including by way of withholding) resulting from the transfer or holding of assets in the DOF.

 
C.
Resolution of Disputed Claims.

From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have the right to file, settle, compromise, withdraw or litigate objections to any Claim, provided, that, such Claim is not Allowed as of the Effective Date, provided, further, that any settlement of a General Unsecured Claim against the Guarantor Debtors in an Allowed amount greater than $200,000 shall require consultation with, and the consent of, the Post-Confirmation Creditors’ Committee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, objections to, or other proceedings concerning the allowance of, Claims shall be filed and served upon the holders of the Claims as to which the objection is made, or otherwise commenced, as the case may be, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Claims Objection Deadline or such other deadline specified with respect to a particular Claim herein.

In the event a Claim is filed after the expiration of the relevant Claims Objection Deadline, the Reorganized Debtors shall have ninety (90) days from the date such Claim is filed to object to such Claim, which deadline may be extended by the Court on motion of the Reorganized Debtors without a hearing or notice. The Reorganized Debtors may settle, compromise, or withdraw any objections or proceedings without Court approval or may seek Court approval without notice to any Person.

 
49

 

 
D.
Allocation of Consideration.

The aggregate consideration to be distributed to the holders of Allowed Claims in each Class under the Plan shall be treated as first, satisfying an amount equal to the stated principal amount of the Allowed Claim for such holders, and any remaining consideration as satisfying accrued, but unpaid, interest and costs, if any, and attorneys’ fees, as applicable.

 
E.
Estimation.

The Reorganized Debtors may, at any time, request that the Court estimate any Disputed Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code regardless of whether the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors have previously objected to such Claim. The Court will retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time, including during proceedings concerning any objection to such Claim. In the event that the Court estimates any Disputed Claim, such estimated amount may constitute either (i) the Allowed amount of such Claim, (ii) the amount on which a reserve is to be calculated for purposes of any reserve requirement under the Plan or (iii) a maximum limitation on such Claim, as determined by the Court. If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on such Claim, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, or the Creditors’ Committee (before the Effective Date) may elect to object to ultimate payment of such Claim. All of the aforementioned Claims objection, estimation and resolution procedures are cumulative and not necessarily exclusive of one another.

 
F.
Insured Claims.

If any portion of an Allowed Claim is an Insured Claim, no distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of such Allowed Claim until the holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to any applicable insurance policies. To the extent that one or more of the Debtors’ insurers agrees to satisfy a Claim in whole or in part, then immediately upon such agreement, the portion of such Claim so satisfied may be expunged without an objection to such Claim having to be filed and without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Court.

ARTICLE VIII.
RETENTION OF JURISDICTION

Notwithstanding the entry of the Confirmation Order and the occurrence of the Effective Date, on and after the Effective Date, the Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction over all matters arising out of, or related to, the Chapter 11 Cases and the Plan pursuant to sections 105(a) and 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code, including jurisdiction:

(i) to resolve any matters related to (a) the assumption, assumption and assignment, or rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to which a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor is party or with respect to which a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor may be liable and to hear, determine, and, if necessary, liquidate, any Claims arising therefrom, including Cure Claims pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code; (b) the Reorganized Debtors amending, modifying, or supplementing, after the Effective Date, pursuant to Article IX, any Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases to the Assumption Schedule or the Rejection Schedule or otherwise; and (c) any dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or expired;

 
50

 

(ii) to determine, adjudicate, or decide any other applications, adversary proceedings, contested matters, and any other matters pending on the Effective Date;

(iii) to ensure that distributions to holders of Allowed Claims are accomplished as provided herein;

(iv) to resolve disputes as to the ownership of any Claim or Equity Interest;

(vi) to enter and implement such orders as may be appropriate in the event the Confirmation Order is for any reason stayed, revoked, reversed, modified or vacated;

(vii) to issue such orders in aid of execution of the Plan, to the extent authorized by section 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code;

(viii) to consider any modifications of the Plan, to cure any defect or omission, or to reconcile any inconsistency in any order of the Court, including the Confirmation Order;

(ix) to hear and determine all applications for compensation and reimbursement of expenses of Professionals under sections 330, 331 and 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code;

(xiii) to hear and determine disputes arising in connection with compensation and reimbursement of expenses of professionals for services rendered during the period commencing on the Petition Date through and including the Effective Date;

(xiv) to hear and determine any Causes of Action preserved under the Plan;

 
51

 

(xv) to hear and determine any matter regarding the existence, nature and scope of the Debtors’ discharge;

(xvi) to hear and determine any matter regarding the existence, nature, and scope of the releases and exculpation provided under the Plan;

(xvii) to enter a final decree closing any of the Chapter 11 Cases;

(xviii) to issue injunctions, enter and implement other orders, or take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate to restrain interference by any entity with consummation or enforcement of the Plan;

(xix) to adjudicate any and all disputes arising from or relating to distributions under the Plan; and

(xx) to hear any other matter not inconsistent with the Bankruptcy Code.

ARTICLE IX.
EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

 
A.
Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

Except as otherwise provided herein, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease not previously assumed shall be deemed automatically rejected pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date, unless any such executory contract or unexpired lease: (i) is expressly identified on the Assumption Schedule; (ii) has been previously assumed by the Debtors by Final Order or has been assumed by the Debtors by order of the Court as of the Effective Date, which order becomes a Final Order after the Effective Date; (iii) is the subject of a motion to assume pending as of the Effective Date; or (iv) is otherwise assumed pursuant to the terms herein.

Further, the Rejection Schedule shall include all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases to be rejected under the Plan; provided, however, that any Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease not previously assumed, assumed and assigned, or rejected by an order of the Court, not assumed pursuant to this Plan and not listed in the Rejection Schedule will be deemed to be rejected on the Effective Date, notwithstanding its exclusion from such list.

The Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the Court approving such rejections pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date or as otherwise set forth in the Plan Supplement.

 
B.
Cure and Notice of Assumption or Rejection.

Except as otherwise agreed by the Debtors and the applicable counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (with the consent of the Oaktree Plan Sponsors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), the applicable Reorganized Debtor will, on the Effective Date, cure any and all undisputed defaults under any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed by such Reorganized Debtor pursuant to the Plan in accordance with section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Cure Claim for each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed pursuant to the plan shall be listed in the Assumption Schedule.

 
52

 

The Debtors will file the Assumption Schedule and Rejection Schedule with the Court at least twenty-one (21) days before the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing. The Assumption Schedule and Rejection Schedule will include (a) the name of the non-Debtor counterparty, (b) the legal description of the contract or lease to be assumed or rejected, (c) in the case of assumption, the proposed amount to be paid on account of an associated Cure Claim, if any, and (d) in the case of rejection, the proposed effective date of rejection. On or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Debtors will serve a Cure Notice or Rejection Notice, as applicable, as well as notice of filing of the Assumption Schedule and the Rejection Schedule upon each non-Debtor counterparty listed thereon that will describe the procedures by which such parties may object to the proposed assumption or rejection of their respective Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease and explain how such disputes will be resolved by the Court if the parties are not able to resolve a dispute consensually.

Objections, if any, to the proposed assumption and/or Cure Claim or rejection by the Debtors of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease listed on the Assumption Schedule and Rejection Schedule, must be filed with the Court and served so as to be actually received by the Debtors no later than the Cure Claims Bar Date.

Except with respect to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases in which the Debtors and the applicable counterparties have stipulated in writing to the amount of the Cure Claim, all requests for payment of a Cure Claim that differ from the amounts proposed by the Debtors in the Assumption Schedule must be filed with the Court and served on the Debtors on or before the Cure Claim Bar Date. Any request for payment of a Cure Claim that is not timely filed and served shall be disallowed automatically, forever barred and not be enforceable against any Reorganized Debtor, without the need for an objection by the Reorganized Debtors or order of the Court.

The Reorganized Debtors may settle any dispute on the amount of a Cure Claim without further notice to or approval of the Court. If the Reorganized Debtors object to any request for payment of a Cure Claim, the Court shall determine the Allowed amount of such Cure Claim and any related issues. Unless the parties to the contract or lease agree otherwise, all disputed defaults that are required to be cured shall be cured by the later to occur of (i) ten days after entry of a Final Order determining the amount, if any, of the Reorganized Debtors’ liability with respect thereto and (ii) the Effective Date. The Reorganized Debtors reserve the right either to reject or nullify the assumption of any executory contract or unexpired lease no later than thirty days after a Final Order determining a Cure Claim greater than that proposed by the Debtors.

If an objection to Cure is sustained by the Court, the Reorganized Debtors in their sole option, may elect to reject such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease in lieu of assuming it on proper notice to the non-Debtor counterparty thereto, which non-Debtor counterparties shall then be entitled to file Proofs of Claim asserting Claims arising from the rejection thereof, if applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Bar Date Order.

 
53

 

ASSUMPTION OF ANY EXECUTORY CONTRACT OR UNEXPIRED LEASE PURSUANT TO THE PLAN OR OTHERWISE 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 BEFORE THE DATE OF THE DEBTORS OR REORGANIZED DEBTORS ASSUME SUCH EXECUTORY CONTRACT OR UNEXPIRED LEASE. ANY PROOFS OF CLAIM FILED WITH RESPECT TO AN EXECUTORY CONTRACT OR UNEXPIRED LEASE THAT HAS BEEN ASSUMED SHALL BE DEEMED DISALLOWED AND EXPUNGED, WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE TO OR ACTION, ORDER OR APPROVAL OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT.

Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease on the Assumption Schedule, nor anything contained in the Plan or each Debtor’s schedule of assets and liabilities, shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is or is not in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease capable of assumption, that any Reorganized Debtor(s) has any liability thereunder or that such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is necessarily a binding and enforceable agreement. Further, the Debtors expressly reserve the right to (a) remove any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease from the Assumption Schedule or Rejection Schedule and reject an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the terms of the Plan with the consent of the Oaktree Plan Sponsors (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), up until the Effective Date and (b) contest any Claim (or cure amount) asserted in connection with assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.

Obligations arising under insurance policies assumed by the Debtors before the Effective Date shall be adequately protected in accordance with any order authorizing such assumption.

 
C.
Reservation of Rights.

Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any contract or lease in the Plan Supplement, as applicable, nor anything contained in the Plan, shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder. In the event a written objection is filed with the Court as to whether a contract or lease is executory or unexpired, the right of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, with the consent of the Oaktree Plan Sponsors (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), to move to assume or reject such contract or lease shall be extended until the date that is thirty (30) days after the entry of a Final Order by the Court determining that the contract or lease is executory or unexpired, in which case the deemed assumptions and rejections provided for in the Plan shall not apply to such contract or lease.

 
54

 

 
D.
Rejection Damage Claims.

1.            Generally. All Rejection Damage Claims must be filed with the Court in accordance with the terms of the Bar Date Order. For the avoidance of doubt, all Allowed Rejection Damage shall be treated as Unsecured Claims.

2.            True-Up for Rejection Damage Claims. In the event that total Allowed Rejection Damage Claims cause the total amount of Allowed General Unsecured Claims against the Guarantor Debtors to exceed the Estimated Maximum Unsecured Claims Amount as established by the Unsecured Claims Reserve Order, after resolution of all other General Unsecured Claims against the Guarantor Debtors by Final Order(s) of the Bankruptcy Court, Reorganized GMR will, within a reasonable time after all such Claims have been resolved by Final Order(s) of the Bankruptcy Court, make a one-time transfer into the Unsecured Claims Reserve of consideration (which may be made in a combination of Cash, New GMR Common Stock or warrants as determined by GMR) in an amount sufficient to provide such holders of Allowed Rejection Damage Claims with a recovery percentage equal to: (a) the value as of the Effective Date of the Unsecured Creditor Distribution (which shall be set at $17,716,998) divided by (b) the greater of (i) the amount of the Unsecured Claims Reserve as established by the Unsecured Claims Reserve Order and (ii) all Allowed General Unsecured Claims against the Guarantor Debtors (other than Allowed Rejection Damage Claims and OCM Facility Deficiency Claims).

3.            REQUIREMENT TO FILE A PROOF OF CLAIM FOR REJECTION DAMAGE CLAIMS. ANY REJECTION DAMAGE CLAIMS THAT ARE NOT TIMELY FILED SHALL BE DISALLOWED AUTOMATICALLY, FOREVER BARRED FROM ASSERTION, AND SHALL NOT BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST ANY REORGANIZED DEBTOR WITHOUT THE NEED FOR ANY OBJECTION BY THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS OR FURTHER NOTICE TO OR ACTION, ORDER, OR APPROVAL OF THE COURT, AND ANY REJECTION DAMAGE CLAIM SHALL BE DEEMED FULLY SATISFIED, RELEASED AND DISCHARGED, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THE SCHEDULES OR A PROOF OF CLAIM TO THE CONTRARY.

 
E.
Assignment.

Any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be held by any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor and assumed hereunder or otherwise in the Chapter 11 Cases, if not expressly assigned to a third party previously in the Chapter 11 Cases, will be deemed assigned to that Reorganized Debtor pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. If an objection to a proposed assumption, assumption and assignment or Cure Claim is not resolved in favor of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors before the Effective Date, the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease may be designated by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (with the consent of the Oaktree Plan Sponsors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) for rejection within five (5) Business Days of the entry of the order of the Court resolving the matter against the Debtors. Such rejection shall be deemed effective as of the Effective Date.

 
55

 

 
F.
No Change in Control.

The consummation of the Plan or the assumption or assumption and assignment of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to another Reorganized Debtor is not intended to, and shall not, constitute a change in ownership or change in control under any employee benefit plan or program, financial instrument, loan or financing agreement, executory contract or unexpired lease or contract, lease or agreement in existence on the Effective Date to which a Debtor is a party.

 
G.
Collective Bargaining Agreements.

Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Collective Bargaining Agreements shall be deemed assumed as of the Effective Date. The Collective Bargaining Agreements shall vest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as modified by the provisions of this Plan or any order of the Court previously entered with respect to the Collective Bargaining Agreements.

 
H.
Insurance Policies.

Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, all of the Debtors’ insurance policies and any agreements, documents or instruments relating thereto, are treated as and deemed to be Executory Contracts under the Plan. On the Effective Date, the Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all insurance policies and any agreements, documents and instruments related thereto.

ARTICLE XI.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Information.

For so long as Reorganized GMR does not publicly file financial information with the SEC, Reorganized GMR will furnish or make available to the holders of the New GMR Common Stock that sign a confidentiality agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Reorganized GMR: (i) on a quarterly basis within 45 days of each quarter end for the first three fiscal quarters, consolidated unaudited financial statements of Reorganized GMR, including the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flow detailing the quarter-to-date and year-to-date results, together with the footnotes thereto, provided, that, such information will be provided on a confidential basis through a secure database; and (ii), on an annual basis within 120 days of each year end, audited consolidated financial statements of Reorganized GMR including the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow detailing year-to-date results, together with the footnotes thereto, in each case in reasonable detail and prepared in accordance with GAAP, except as otherwise noted therein, provided, that, such information will be provided on a confidential basis through a secure database.

In connection with the Plan and all instruments issued in connection therewith and distributions thereon, the Reorganized Debtors shall comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority and all distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements.

 
E.
Compensation of Senior Notes Indenture Trustee Fees and Expenses.

The Reorganized Debtors shall pay (in a single payment that will be made to an account identified by counsel to the Creditors’ Committee) the reasonable and documented fees and expenses for the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee (including for the avoidance of doubt legal fees and expenses) in an amount not to exceed $200,000 in Cash in respect of invoices submitted by the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Plan Support Agreement and without the need for the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee to file an application for allowance with the Bankruptcy Court; provided, however, that to receive payment pursuant to this Article XI.E, the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee shall provide reasonable and customary detail or invoices in support of such fees and expenses to counsel to the Reorganized Debtors after the Effective Date, and the Reorganized Debtors shall have the right to file objections to such fees and expenses based on a “reasonableness” standard within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of supporting documentation. Any disputed amount of such fees and expenses shall be subject to the jurisdiction of, and resolution by, the Bankruptcy Court. Upon payment of such fees and expenses of the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee, the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee will be deemed to have released its lien and priority rights for such fees and expenses under the respective Senior Notes Indenture solely to the extent of such fees and expenses. Distributions under the Plan to holders of Claims on account of the Senior Notes will not be reduced by the amount of Claims paid by the Debtors pursuant to this Article, but may be reduced by charging liens and other rights that the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee may assert solely against the holders of Senior Notes for (i) any amount under the Senior Notes Indenture not required to be paid by the Reorganized Debtors to the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee under this Section as determined by the Bankruptcy Court or (ii) additional amounts, if any and only to the extent reasonable, incurred by the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee in litigating its rights to payment of any and all amounts due by the Reorganized Debtors under this Section (which amounts due by the Reorganized Debtors, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be capped at $200,000 as set forth in this Section).

NOTICE OF ENTRY OF ORDER CONFIRMING THE SECOND
AMENDED JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION OF
THE DEBTORS UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE OF THE FOLLOWING:

1.            Confirmation of the Plan.

On May [___] 2012, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of the Debtors Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, dated April 19, 2012 (as subsequently amended, supplemented or modified, the “Plan”), in the chapter 11 cases of the above-captioned debtors and debtors-in-possession (collectively, the “Debtors”). Unless otherwise defined in this Notice, capitalized terms and phrases used herein have the meanings given to them in the Plan and the Confirmation Order.

Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Confirmation Order, the Plan and its provisions are binding on the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, any holder of a Claim or Interest, and such holder’s respective successors and assigns, whether or not the Claim or Interest of such holder is Impaired under the Plan and whether or not such holder or Entity voted to accept the Plan.

 
 

 

2.            Rejection Damage Claims.

Exhibit 2 to the Plan Supplement sets forth the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases to be rejected under the Plan. Pursuant to the Order Establishing Deadline for Filing Proofs of Claim and Approving the Form and Manner of Notice Thereof [Docket No. 200] (the “Bar Date Order”), any party whose Executory Contract(s) and/or Unexpired Lease(s) are subject to rejection pursuant to the Plan must file a proof of claim for any damages resulting from the rejection of such Executory Contract(s) and/or Unexpired Lease(s) (a “Rejection Damage Claim”) no later than 30 days after the date of entry of an order of rejection (unless the order of rejection provides otherwise) (the “Rejection Damages Bar Date”). All such proofs of claims shall be filed by the Rejection Damages Bar Date in accordance with the requirements of the Bar Date Order.

ANY REJECTION DAMAGE CLAIMS THAT ARE NOT TIMELY FILED SHALL BE DISALLOWED AUTOMATICALLY, FOREVER BARRED FROM ASSERTION AND SHALL NOT BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST ANY REORGANIZED DEBTOR WITHOUT THE NEED FOR ANY OBJECTION BY THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS OR FURTHER NOTICE TO OR ACTION, ORDER, OR APPROVAL OF THE COURT, AND ANY REJECTION DAMAGE CLAIM SHALL BE DEEMED FULLY SATISFIED, RELEASED AND DISCHARGED, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THE SCHEDULES OR A PROOF OF CLAIM TO THE CONTRARY.

3.            Administrative Claims Bar Date.

Except as otherwise provided in Article II of the Plan, and except with respect to requests for payment of Claims arising under section 503(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, which Claims are subject to the Bar Date Order, requests for payment of Administrative Claims must be made in writing, with a hard copy to chambers; conform to the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and the Local Rules for the United States Bankruptcy Court Southern District of New York; and be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on (i) the Reorganized Debtors, c/o General Maritime Corporation, 299 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10171 (Attn: Jeffrey D.

Schwartzberg, Esq.) so as to be actually received no later than thirty (30) days after entry of the Confirmation Order. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Claims that arise in the ordinary course of the Debtors’ business are not subject to the Administrative Claims Bar Date and shall be paid in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms and conditions of any agreements governing, instruments evidencing or other documents relating to such transactions.

Holders of Administrative Claims that are required to, but do not, file and serve a request for payment of such Administrative Claims by such date shall be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from asserting such Administrative Claims against the Debtors or their property and such Administrative Claims shall be deemed discharged as of the Effective Date. Objections to such requests, if any, must be filed and served on the Reorganized Debtors and the requesting party no later than sixty (60) days after the Effective Date.
