PRESERVATION AND PROSECUTION OF CAUSES OF ACTION HELD BY THE DEBTORS

Section 7.01.

Preservation and Prosecution of Causes of Action.

In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, all claims and causes of action of the Reorganized Debtors are retained and preserved. The Reorganized Debtors shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue, as appropriate, any and all Retained Causes of Action. The Reorganized Debtors’ right to commence, prosecute, settle, or abandon their Retained Causes of Action shall be preserved, notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date. The Litigation Trust may enforce all rights to commence and pursue, as appropriate, any and all Litigation Trust Causes of Action. No entity 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 the Litigation Trust, as applicable, will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against them. Unless any Causes of Action against an entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or a Bankruptcy Court order, the Debtors or the Litigation Trust, as the case may be, expressly reserve all Causes of Action, for later adjudication, and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise), or laches, shall apply to such Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation Order. In accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Causes of Action against any entity shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trustee, as the case may be. On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall be deemed to have assigned and shall assign the Litigation Trust Causes of Action to the Litigation Trust pursuant to the Litigation Trust Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

PROVISIONS FOR TREATMENT OF DISPUTED CLAIMS

Section 8.01.

Objections to Claims.

As of the Effective Date, the Debtors shall be deemed to have assigned and shall assign to the Litigation Trust, the right to object to the allowance of, General Unsecured Claims on all available grounds, together with all defenses of the Debtors and their estates, including, without limitation, the defense of setoff. On such assignment from the Debtors, the Litigation Trust shall have the exclusive right to object to the allowance of any General Unsecured Claim on any ground. The Reorganized Debtors shall have the right to object to the allowance of any other Claims or Interests with respect to which they dispute liability, priority, and/or amount; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not in any way limit the ability or the right of the Litigation Trust to assert, commence, or prosecute any Litigation Trust Causes of Action against any Holder of such Claim. All objections, affirmative defenses, and counterclaims shall be litigated to Final Order; provided, however, that the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trust, as the case may be, shall have authority to file, settle, compromise or withdraw any objections to Claims. Any Objections to Claims that have been filed on or before the Confirmation Date, shall be served and filed as soon as practicable, but, in each instance, no later than: (a) 180 days after the Effective Date; or (b) such other date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court, whether fixed before or after the date specified in clause (a) hereof. The Filing of a motion to extend such objection deadline shall automatically extend such deadline until a Final Order is entered on such motion. In the event that such a motion to extend the objection deadline is denied by the Bankruptcy Court, or approved by the Bankruptcy Court and reversed on appeal, such objection deadline shall be the later of the current deadline (as previously extended, as applicable) or 30 days after entry of a Final Order denying the motion to extend the objection deadline.

Section 8.02.

No Payment or Distribution Pending Allowance.

Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, if any portion of a Claim is a Disputed Claim, no payment or Distribution of Property provided for hereunder shall be made on account of such Claim unless and until the Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. To the extent a Disputed Claim is Disallowed in whole or in part, the Holder of such Claim will not receive any Distribution on account of the portion of such Claim (including the whole, if applicable) that is Disallowed.

Section 8.03.

Disputed Distributions.

If any dispute arises as to the identity of a Holder of an Allowed Claim who is to receive any Distribution, in lieu of making a distribution to such Person, the Disbursing Agent or the Litigation Trust, as the case may be, may deposit the Distribution at issue (or the disputed portion thereof, at the election of the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trustee, as the case may be) into a segregated account for Disputed Distributions until the disposition thereof is determined by a Final Order or by written agreement among the interested parties to such dispute.

Section 8.04.

Estimation.

The Reorganized Debtors and the Litigation Trust, as the case may be, shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time to seek an order of the Bankruptcy Court, after notice and a hearing (which notice may be limited to the Holder of a Disputed Claim and the United States Trustee, and which hearing may be held on an expedited basis), estimating for final Distribution purposes any contingent, unliquidated, or Disputed Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, regardless of whether the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trustee, as the case may be, previously objected to such Claim. If the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent, Disputed or unliquidated Claim, the estimated amount shall constitute either the Allowed Amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on such Claim, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court, including for purposes of the Disputed Claims Reserve; provided, however, that if the estimate constitutes the maximum limitation on such Claim, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Litigation Trust, as the case may be, may elect to pursue supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate allowance of such Claim. On or after the Confirmation Date, Claims that have been estimated may be compromised, settled, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved subsequently, without further order of the Bankruptcy Court.

Section 8.05.

Reserve Account for Disputed Claims

On or after the Effective Date, the Disbursing Agent and the Litigation Trust, as the case may be, shall hold in their respective Disputed Claims Reserves, Cash or other consideration in an aggregate amount sufficient to compensate each Holder of a Disputed Claim, which the Disbursing Agent or the Litigation Trust is ultimately responsible for disbursing, with (i) the amount that such Holder would have been entitled to receive under the Plan if such Claim had been an Allowed Claim on the Effective Date, (ii) to the extent the value of a Disputed Claim has been estimated in accordance with Section 8.04 above, the estimated value of such Disputed Claim, or (iii) such other amount as may be agreed upon by the Holder of such Disputed Claim and the Reorganized Debtor or the Litigation Trust, as the case may be. The Disbursing Agent and the Litigation Trust may pool funds in the Disputed Claims Reserves with other funds; provided, however, the Disbursing Agent and Litigation Trust shall treat all such funds as segregated accounts in their respective books and records.

Section 8.06.

Release of Funds from Claims Reserves.

At such time as a Disputed Claim becomes, in whole or in part, an Allowed Claim, the Disbursing Agent or the Litigation Trust, as the case may be, shall distribute to the Holder thereof the distribution, if any, to which such Holder is then entitled under the Plan. To the extent a Disputed Claim is Disallowed or Allowed in a lesser amount than has been reserved for such Disputed Claim, the Cash reserved for such Disputed Claim or the difference between the amount reserved for such Disputed Claim and the lesser amount at which such Disputed Claim is ultimately Allowed, as applicable, shall (i) be included by the Litigation Trust in any reserve in which there may be a shortfall and, if no shortfall exists, in future calculations of amounts to be distributed to Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and/or the Allowed Mengnu Unsecured Claim, as applicable, if such Disputed Claim was a General Unsecured Claim or a Mengnu Unsecured Claim; or (ii) be returned from the Disputed Claims Reserve to the Reorganized Debtors.

Pursuant to the Litigation Trust Agreement, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors shall transfer to the Litigation Trust all of their right, title and interest in the Litigation Trust Fund, including any Litigation Trust Causes of Action previously assigned to the Creditors’ Committee on behalf of the Debtors’ Estates prior to the Effective Date. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors shall transfer the Litigation Trust Fund to the Litigation Trust free and clear of any Claims, Liens, and other rights of third parties, and the Litigation Trust Fund shall vest in the Litigation Trust free and clean of any such Claim, Liens and rights, unless otherwise provided in this Article IX.

Transfer of Assets

(a) The transfer of the Litigation Trust Fund to the Litigation Trust shall be made, as provided herein, for the benefit of the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and the Allowed Mengnu Unsecured Claim, as applicable. Upon such the transfer of the Litigation Trust Fund, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall have no interest in or with respect to the Litigation Trust Fund of the Litigation Trust, except for the Reorganized Debtor Reimbursement Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code, the transfer of Litigation Trust Fund to the Litigation Trust shall not affect the mutuality of obligations which otherwise may have existed prior to the effectuation of such transfer. To the extent that any property to have been included in the Litigation Trust Fund cannot be transferred to the Litigation Trust because of a restriction on transferability under applicable non-bankruptcy law that is not superseded or preempted by section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, any such property deemed to have been retained by the Reorganized Debtors shall be deemed to have been retained by the Reorganized Debtors and the Litigation Trustee shall be deemed to have been designated as a representative of the Reorganized Debtors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all net proceeds of such Litigation Trust Fund shall be transferred to the Litigation Trust to be distributed to the Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and the Allowed Mengnu Unsecured Claim, as applicable, subject to and consistent with the terms of the Plan and the Litigation Trust Agreement.

Litigation; Responsibility of Litigation Trustee

(a) The Litigation Trust Agreement may provide for the establishment of a Litigation Trust Board. Subject to the provisions of the Litigation Trust Agreement, the Litigation Trustee shall, in consultation with any Litigation Trust Board created pursuant to the Litigation Trust Agreement, in an expeditious but orderly manner, liquidate, distribute, and convert to Cash the Litigation Trust Fund, make timely Distributions, and not unduly prolong the duration of the Litigation Trust. The liquidation of the Litigation Trust Fund may be accomplished either through prosecution, compromise and settlement, sale, release, abandonment, waiver or dismissal of any or all claims, rights, or Causes of Action, or otherwise. The Litigation Trustee, in consultation with any Litigation Trust Board created pursuant to the Litigation Trust Agreement, shall have the absolute right to pursue or not to pursue Litigation Trust Causes of Action as it determines is in the best interests of the beneficiaries of the Litigation Trust, and consistent with the purposes of the Litigation Trust. Notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary or anything herein, the Litigation Trust shall itself have the capacity to sue and be sued, and may alone be named party plaintiff or defendant in all adversary proceedings, contested matters, and other state and federal proceedings brought on its behalf or against it, and settle and compromise all such matters in its own name. The Litigation Trust shall have the authority and right to retain law firms to handle the prosecution of any Litigation Trust Causes of Actions and Objections to General Unsecured Claims and to assist in the administration of the Litigation Trust. Any such law firms may, at the direction of the Litigation Trustee, provide assistance to the Reorganized Debtors in connection with the Litigation Trust’s litigation of Avoidance Actions. The Litigation Trust may incur any reasonable and necessary expenses in liquidating and converting the Litigation Trust Fund to Cash and making Distributions, and shall be reimbursed in accordance with the provisions of the Litigation Trust Agreement.

(b) No recourse will ever be had, directly or indirectly, against the Litigation Trustee, any Litigation Trust Board or its members or their employees, representatives, professionals, agents, successors or assigns, by legal or equitable proceedings or by virtue of statute or otherwise, or any deed of trust, mortgage, pledge or note, nor upon any promise, contract, instrument, obligation, covenant or agreement executed by the Litigation Trust, the Litigation Trustee, or its employees, representatives, agents, successors or assigns under the Plan or for any purposes authorized by the Plan. All such liabilities, covenants and agreements will be enforceable only against, and will be satisfied only out of, the assets of the Litigation Trust Fund or such part thereof as will, under the terms of any such agreement, be liable therefor, or will evidence only a right of payment out of the income and proceeds of the assets of the Litigation Trust, as the case may be. With the exception of a holding of gross negligence and willful misconduct in a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal or review), the Litigation Trust, Litigation Trustee, any Litigation Trust Board or its members, and their employees, representatives, professionals, agents, successors and assigns will not be liable for any acts they may do, or omit to do hereunder or under the Litigation Trust Agreement. The Litigation Trustee may consult with any Litigation Trust Board, counsel and other professionals and shall be entitled to rely on their advice in acting or refraining from acting and shall not be liable for any act taken or not taken in accordance with their advice. In no circumstances shall the Litigation Trustee be liable for indirect, punitive, special, incidental or consequential damage or loss (including, but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if the Litigation Trustee has been informed of the likelihood of such loss or damages and regardless of the form of the action. Any liability of the Litigation Trustee under the Plan or the Litigation Trust Agreement will be limited to the amount of fees paid to the Litigation Trustee as compensation under the Plan or the Litigation Trust Agreement.

The Litigation Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless the Litigation Trustee, in its capacity as Litigation Trustee of the Litigation Trust, and any director, officer, member, manager, employee, professional, agent, representative, successor, assign, or affiliate of the Litigation Trustee (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, and expenses (collectively, the Indemnified Losses”), including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, arising out of or due to their actions or omissions, or consequences of such actions or omissions, with respect to the Litigation Trust or the implementation or administration of the Plan or the Litigation Trust Agreement, other than Indemnified Losses that are held in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal or review) to have been primarily and directly caused by willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Indemnified Party seeking to be indemnified.

(c) No later than ten (10) pays prior to the Confirmation Hearing, the Litigation Trustee shall be selected by the Creditors’ Committee and approved by the Confirmation Order, and have the power to (i) prosecute for the benefit of the Litigation Trust all Litigation Trust Causes of Action transferred to the Litigation Trust (whether such suits are brought in the name of the Litigation Trust or otherwise), and (ii) otherwise perform the functions and take the actions provided for or permitted herein or in any other agreement executed by the Litigation Trustee pursuant to the Plan. Any and all proceeds generated from the Litigation Trust Fund shall be the property of the Litigation Trust for the benefit of the Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and the Allowed Mengnu Unsecured Claim, as applicable.

(e) If the Reorganized Debtors must incur costs or retain counsel in connection with any Avoidance Actions commenced by the Litigation Trust, the Reorganized Debtors will provide the Litigation Trustee advance notice. In the event that the Reorganized Debtors do incur such costs and have provided the Litigation Trustee with such advance notice, the Litigation Trust will reimburse the Reorganized Debtors for such reasonable and documented costs; provided, however, that any such reimbursement will only be paid (i) out of the proceeds received by the Litigation Trust in respect of any Avoidance Actions, and (ii) after payment of the Litigation Trust’s fees and expenses incurred in connection with any Avoidance Actions, including the fees and expenses of any counsel to the Litigation Trustee. Distributions to Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and the Allowed Mengnu Unsecured Claim on account of any Avoidance Actions shall not be made until after (i) any reimbursement obligations to the Reorganized Debtors have been satisfied in full; and (ii) the Litigation Trust’s fees and expenses have been satisfied in full.

(f) If the Reorganized Debtors must incur any out-of-pocket expenses in cooperating with, defending against, or reimbursing third parties in connection with their defense of, any D&O Actions, then the Litigation Trust will (i) reimburse the Reorganized Debtors for all such reasonable, documented and necessary expenses; and (ii) indemnify the Reorganized Debtors against any money damages or reasonable, documented costs incurred by the Reorganized Debtors, including any payments that the Reorganized Debtors are compelled to make to any parties arising out of any D&O Actions brought by the Litigation Trust; provided, however, that any such reimbursement or indemnification will only be paid (y) out of the proceeds received by the Litigation Trust in respect of any D&O Actions, and (ii) after payment of the Litigation Trust’s fees and expenses incurred in connection with any D&O Actions, including the fees and expenses of any counsel to the Litigation Trust. Distributions to Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and the Allowed Mengnu Unsecured Claim on account of any D&O Actions shall not be made until after (i) any reimbursement or indemnification obligations to the Reorganized Debtors have been satisfied in full; and (ii) the Litigation Trust’s fees and expenses have been satisfied in full. The Litigation Trustee shall make commercially reasonable efforts to minimize adverse public relations and other negative impacts on the Reorganized Debtors in connection with any D&O Actions.

(g) If the Litigation Trust settles any D&O Action, the Litigation Trust will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a full release in favor of the Reorganized Debtors from any party with whom the Litigation Trustee settles. If the Litigation Trustee does not obtain such a release, then the Litigation Trustee will hold all proceeds of the settlement of such D&O Action, less the Litigation Trust’s fees and expenses incurred in connection with any such D&O Action (including the fees and expenses of counsel to the Litigation Trustee), until the earlier of (i) the expiration, as determined by the Reorganized Debtors in their sole discretion, of all applicable statutes of limitation governing the time period during which any person or entity making a payment to the Litigation Trust on account of such settlement may bring an action against the Reorganized Debtors in connection with such payments, or (ii) the later of (y) three (3) years from the Effective Date, or (z) one (1) year from the receipt of such proceeds by the Litigation Trust.

(h) If the Litigation Trustee obtains a money judgment or award in any D&O Action, then the Litigation Trustee will hold all proceeds of the money judgment or award of such D&O Action, less the Litigation Trust’s fees and expenses incurred in connection with any such D&O Action (including the fees and expenses of counsel to the Litigation Trustee), until the earlier of (i) the expiration, as determined by the Reorganized Debtors in their sole discretion, of all applicable statutes of limitation governing the time period during which any person or entity making a payment to the Litigation Trust on account of such settlement may bring an action against the Reorganized Debtors in connection with such payments, or (ii) the later of (y) three (3) years from the Effective Date, or (z) one (1) year from the receipt of such proceeds by the Litigation Trust.

Section 9.08.

Reporting Duties

(a) Litigation Trust Fund Treated as Owned by Creditors. For all federal income tax reporting purposes, all parties (including, without limitation, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Litigation Trustee and the beneficiaries of the Litigation Trust) shall treat the transfer of the Litigation Trust Fund by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors to the Litigation Trust for the benefit of the beneficiaries of the Litigation Trust, whether their Claims are Allowed on or after the Effective Date, as (i) a transfer of the Litigation Trust Fund directly to those Holders of Allowed Claims who are beneficiaries of the Litigation Trust (other than to the extent allocable to Disputed Claims), followed by, (b) the transfer by such Persons to the Litigation Trust of the Litigation Trust Fund in exchange for the beneficial interests in the Litigation Trust (and in respect of the Litigation Trust Fund allocated to a Disputed Claim Reserve, as a transfer to the Disputed Claim Reserve). Accordingly, those Holders of Allowed Claims who are beneficiaries of the Litigation Trust shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as the grantors and owners of their respective rights in the Litigation Trust Fund. The foregoing treatment also shall apply, to the extent permitted by applicable law, for state and local income tax purposes.

The Litigation Trustee shall endeavor to ensure the Litigation Trust files tax returns as a grantor trust pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.671-4(a) and shall comply with all requirements of any governmental unit in connection therewith. The Litigation Trustee shall be responsible for ensuring the Litigation Trust makes payments, out of the Litigation Trust Fund, of any taxes imposed on the Litigation Trust or its assets. The Litigation Trust may request an expedited determination of its taxes, including any refunds, under section 505(b) of the Bankruptcy Code for all returns filed for, or on behalf of, it for all taxable periods through its dissolution.

Section 9.09.

Trust Implementation

On the Effective Date, the Litigation Trust shall be established as a grantor trust and become effective for the benefit of Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and the Holder of the Allowed Mengnu Unsecured Claim. The Litigation Trust Agreement shall be included in the Plan Supplement and shall contain provisions similar to those contained in trust agreements utilized in comparable circumstances, including, but not limited to, any and all provisions necessary to ensure the continued treatment of the Litigation Trust as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes. All parties (including the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, the Litigation Trust or Litigation Trustee, the Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claim and the Holder of the Allowed Mengnu Unsecured Claim) shall execute any documents or other instruments as necessary to cause title to the applicable assets to be transferred to the Litigation Trust. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan and the Litigation Trust Agreement, the terms of the Litigation Trust Agreement shall control.

The Litigation Trustee may serve without bond. The Litigation Trust Agreement will require the Litigation Trustee to appoint a disinterested party to handle any matter where the Litigation Trustee has identified a conflict of interest or the Bankruptcy Court, on motion of a party in interest, determines one exists. The Litigation Trust Agreement shall also provide that in the event of the resignation or removal of the Litigation Trustee, the Litigation Trustee or any Litigation Trust Board will appoint a successor trustee subject to Bankruptcy Court approval or, if the Litigation Trustee or any Litigation Trust Board is unwilling or unable to do so, the Bankruptcy Court will do so.

Section 9.10.

Dissolution of Litigation Trust

The Litigation Trust shall terminate upon completion of prosecution of the Litigation Trust Causes of Action, distribution of all Litigation Trust Proceeds to Mengnu and Holders of the General Unsecured Claims as applicable, and the winding down of the Litigation Trust. Upon such termination, all beneficial interests in the Litigation Trust will be extinguished and the legal existence of the Litigation Trust will terminate. The Litigation Trustee may take any action it deems necessary or desirable to reflect the transfer to the Disbursing Agent of all Litigation Trust Proceeds held by the Litigation Trust upon its termination.

Section 9.11.

Establishment of a D&O Cash Reserve.

On the Effective Date, the Debtors shall fund the D&O Cash Reserve in such amounts as determined by the Debtors, in consultation with the Creditors’ Committee and the Plan Sponsor, to be necessary to make the required future retention payments under the D&O Liability Insurance Policies.

DISTRIBUTIONS UNDER THE PLAN

Section 10.01.

Limitation to Full Recovery

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Holder of any Claim will be entitled to a Distribution in excess of 100% of the Allowed amount of its Claims.

Section 10.02.

Timing of Distributions.

Distributions under the Plan shall be made (i) as set forth in the Plan or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter; or (ii) as agreed between the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and the particular Creditor, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. If a Claim is not an Allowed Claim as of the Effective Date, Distributions will be made only if and when the Claim is Allowed and, to the extent a Disputed Claim is the subject of estimation in accordance with Section 8.04 of the Plan, in an amount no greater than the amount reserved in the Disputed Claims Reserve.

Section 10.03.

Saturdays, Sundays, or Legal Holidays.

If any payment 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.

Section 10.04.

Distribution Record Date.

Except as otherwise provided in a Final Order that is not subject to any stay, the transferees of Claims that are transferred pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001 and Filed with the Bankruptcy Court on or prior to the Distribution Record Date will be treated as the Holders of such Claims for all purposes, notwithstanding that any period provided by Bankruptcy Rule 3001 for objecting to such transfer may not have expired by the Distribution Record Date. As of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, any transfer ledgers, transfer books, registers and any other records will be closed and, for purposes of the Plan, there shall be no further changes in the record Holders of such Claims. The Debtors shall have no obligation to recognize the transfer of any Claim occurring after the Distribution Record Date, and will be entitled for all purposes to recognize and deal only with those Holders of Claims and Interests as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, as reflected on the ledgers, books, registers or records of the Debtors and the Bankruptcy Court.

Section 10.05.

Delivery of Distributions.

Subject to the treatment of Disputed Distributions as set forth in Section 8.03 of the Plan, Distributions shall be made to Holders of Allowed Claims at the addresses set forth on the Debtors’ books and records or the Proofs of Claim, if any, Filed by such Creditors or at the last known addresses of such Creditors or, in the case of transferred Claims, on the notice of transfer Filed with the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001, each as of the Distribution Record Date. If any such Creditor’s Distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further Distribution shall be made to such Creditor unless and until the Debtors are notified of such Creditor’s then-current address, at which time any missed Distribution shall be made to such Creditor to the extent of available Cash; provided that in no event are the Debtors required to make Distributions to a Creditor whose Distribution is returned as undeliverable and becomes Unclaimed Property.

Section 10.06.

Method of Cash Distributions.

The Disbursing Agent shall make all Distributions contemplated by the Plan. Any Cash payment to be made pursuant to the Plan shall be made by check drawn on a domestic bank or by wire transfer from a domestic bank, at the option of the Disbursing Agent. If a Creditor holds more than one Claim in any one Class, all Allowed Claims of the Creditor in that Class may, at the Debtors’ option, be aggregated and one Distribution may be made with respect thereto.

Section 10.07.

Unclaimed Property.

All Property distributed on account of Claims must be claimed within the later of ninety (90) days after (i) the Distribution Date and (ii) the date such Distribution is made to such Holder provided, however, in the case of a Distribution made in the form of a check, must be negotiated or a request for reissuance made directly to the Debtors by the Creditor that was originally issued such check and shall be made within ninety (90) days after the date the Distribution is made to the applicable Creditor. Nothing contained in the Plan shall require the Debtors to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim, other than as provided herein. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 347(b) and 1143, all Claims in respect of Unclaimed Property shall be deemed Disallowed and the Holder of any Claim Disallowed is forever barred, expunged, estopped and enjoined from asserting such Claim in any manner against the Debtors or the Estates. Unclaimed Property of a particular Creditor shall be distributed to Holders of Allowed Claims in the same Class as such Creditor on the next applicable Distribution Date.

Section 10.08.

Compliance with Tax Requirements.

In connection with each Distribution with respect to which the filing of an information return (such as an IRS Form 1099 or 1042) or withholding is required, the Debtors shall file such information return with the IRS and provide any required statements in connection therewith to the recipients of such Distribution or effect any such withholding and deposit all moneys so withheld as required by law. With respect to any Person from whom a tax identification number, certified tax identification number or other tax information required by law to avoid withholding has not been received by the Debtors within thirty (30) days from the date of any such request, the Debtors may, at their option, withhold the amount required and distribute the balance to such Person or decline to make such Distribution until the information is received.

Section 10.09.

Setoffs.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or in an agreement approved by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may, pursuant to applicable law (including section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code), setoff against any Distribution amounts related to any Claim before any Distribution is made on account of such Claim, any and all of the Claims, rights and causes of action of any nature that the Debtors, the Estates or the Reorganized Debtors may hold against the Holder of such Claim, provided, however, that neither the failure to effect such a setoff, the allowance of any Claim hereunder, any other act or omission of the Debtors or the Disbursing Agent, nor any provision of the Plan (other than Article X of the Plan) will constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors of any such claims, rights or causes of action that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may possess against such Holder. To the extent the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors fail to set off against a Holder and seeks to collect a claim from such Holder after a Distribution to such Holder has been made pursuant to the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors, if successful in asserting such claim, will be entitled to full recovery on the Claim against such Holder. Distribution made on account of the Mengnu 503(b)(9) Claims, Mengnu Unsecured Claim, Mengnu Administrative Claims, and Mengnu DIP Claims will not be subject to setoff or recoupment under any circumstances.

Section 10.10.

Documentation Necessary to Release Lien.

Each Creditor who is a Holder of a Lien satisfied, discharged and released under the Plan and who is to receive a Distribution under the Plan shall not receive such Distribution until such Creditor executes and delivers any documents necessary to release all Liens arising under any applicable security agreement or non-bankruptcy law (in recordable form, if appropriate) in connection with such Claim and such other documents as the Debtors may reasonably request to document satisfaction of the Lien.

Section 10.11.

Distributions Under Fifty Dollars

No Distribution of Cash in an amount less than fifty dollars ($50.00) will be made by the Disbursing Agent to any Holder of an allowed Claim unless a request is made in writing to the Disbursing Agent. If no such request is made, all such Distributions will be treated as Unclaimed Property.

Section 10.12.

Fractional New Common Stock

No fractional share of New Common Stock shall be issued. Fractional shares of New Common Stock shall be rounded to the next greater or next lower number of shares in accordance with the following: (a) fractions of one-half (1/2) or greater shall be rounded to the next higher whole number, and (b) fractions of less than one-half (1/2) shall be rounded to the next lower whole number. The total number of shares or interests of New Common Stock to be distributed hereunder shall be adjusted as necessary to account for the rounding provided for in this Section 10.12.

ARTICLE XI

EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES;

INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS

Section 11.01.

General Treatment.

As of and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date and the payment of any applicable Cure Amount, all Executory Contracts and unexpired leases to which any Debtor is a party shall be deemed assumed, except for any Executory Contracts or unexpired leases that: (a) previously have been assumed or rejected pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court; (b) are designated specifically or by category as a contract or lease to be rejected on the Schedule of Rejected Contracts and Leases, if any; or (c) are the subject of a separate motion to assume or reject under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code pending on the Effective Date. As of and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, all contracts identified on the Schedule of Rejected Contracts and Leases shall be deemed rejected. Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of such assumptions and rejections pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Unless otherwise specified in writing, each Executory Contract and unexpired lease to be assumed or rejected shall include modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument, or other document that in any manner affects such Executory Contract and unexpired lease. Each Executory Contract and unexpired lease assumed pursuant to this Section 11.01 shall revest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as modified by the provisions of the Plan, or any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption or applicable federal law.

Section 11.02.

Cure.

(a) Except to the extent that less favorable treatment has been agreed to by the non-Debtor party or parties to each such Executory Contract or unexpired lease, any monetary defaults arising under each Executory Contract and unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the appropriate amount (the “Cure Amount”) in Cash on the later of thirty (30) days after (i) the Effective Date or (ii) the date on which the Cure Amount has been resolved (either consensually or through judicial decision).

(b) No later than January 13, 2011, the Debtors shall file and serve a schedule (the “Cure Schedule”) setting forth the Cure Amount, if any, for each Executory Contract or unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Plan. Any party that fails to object to the applicable Cure Amount listed on the Cure Schedule within twenty (20) days of the filing thereof, shall be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from disputing the Cure Amount set forth on the Cure Schedule (including a Cure Amount of $0.00) and/or from asserting any Claim against the applicable Debtor arising under section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code except as set forth on the Cure Schedule.

(c) In the event of a dispute (each, a “Cure Dispute”) regarding: (i) the Cure Amount; (ii) the ability of the applicable Reorganized Debtor to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed; or (iii) any other matter pertaining to the proposed assumption, the cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving such Cure Dispute and approving the assumption. To the extent a Cure Dispute relates solely to the Cure Amount, the applicable Debtor may assume and/or assume and assign the applicable contract or lease prior to the resolution of the Cure Dispute provided that the Debtors reserve Cash in an amount sufficient to pay the full amount asserted as cure payment by the non-Debtor party to such contract or lease (or such smaller amount as may be fixed or estimated by the Bankruptcy Court).

Section 11.03.

Assumption Conditioned upon Consummation of The Plan.

The Plan seeks to cause the applicable Debtors and Reorganized Debtors to assume the relevant contracts on the Effective Date to the extent, and only to the extent, that such contracts or leases constitute Executory Contracts or unexpired leases. Additionally, unless the assumption, or assumption and assignment, of an assumed contract is expressly approved by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court that provided otherwise, the assumption of each contract by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors are each expressly conditioned upon the occurrence of the Effective Date. If the Effective Date does not occur, assumption of the contracts as provided in the Plan will not be effective, and the Debtors will retain all of their rights under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to such contracts and leases.

Section 11.04.

Bar Date for Filing Proofs of Claim Relating to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Rejected Pursuant to the Plan

Claims arising out of the rejection of an Executory Contract or unexpired lease pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Plan must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court or the Claims Agent and served upon the Debtors (or, on and after the Effective Date, Reorganized Debtors) no later than thirty (30) days after the later of (i) notice of entry of an order approving the rejection of such Executory Contract or unexpired lease, and (ii) notice of entry of the Confirmation Order. All such Claims not filed within such time will be forever barred from assertion against the Debtors and their estates or the Reorganized Debtors and their Property.

Section 11.05.

Treatment of Rejection Claims.

Any Allowed Claim arising out of the rejection of an Executory Contract or unexpired lease pursuant to the Plan (as opposed to a separate order of the Bankruptcy Court) shall, pursuant to section 502(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, be a General Unsecured Claim.

Section 11.06.

Reinstatement and Continuation of Insurance Policies.

Unless otherwise assumed during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, from and after the Effective Date, each of the Debtors’ insurance policies in existence on and as of the Confirmation Date shall be reinstated and continued in accordance with its terms and, to the extent applicable, shall be deemed assumed by the Reorganized Debtors pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Cause of Action that the Debtors may hold against any entity, including, without limitation, the insurer under any of the Debtors’ insurance policies.

The Debtors’ discharge and release from all Claims and Interests, as provided herein, shall not diminish or impair the enforceability of any insurance policy that may cover Claims against the Debtors (including, without limitation, their officers and directors), the Reorganized Debtors (including, without limitation, their officers and directors) or any other person or entity. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or the Confirmation Order, nothing in the Plan shall (i) impair (w) the right of any insurer to defend against any claim asserted against such insurer, (x) an insurer’s status as a secured creditor to the extent applicable under the terms of the Plan, including the right to recover from any collateral (in accordance with the applicable insurance policy), (y) an insurer’s right to draw on third-party letters of credit (in accordance with the terms of the applicable insurance policy and letter of credit) or (z) any insurer’s right of setoff pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent applicable and/or (ii) affect an insurer’s right to seek arbitration of disputes between the Debtors and such insurer to the extent provided for under the terms of the applicable insurance agreement.

Section 11.07.

Officers’ and Directors’ Indemnification Rights and Insurance.

Indemnification

For purposes of the Plan, and only to the extent set forth herein, all indemnification Claims of the officers and directors of the Debtors against the Debtors shall, for a period of not more than one (1) year following the Effective Date: (a) survive confirmation of the Plan and the Effective Date; (b) become obligations of the Reorganized Debtors; and (c) not be discharged in accordance with section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, irrespective of whether indemnification or reimbursement is owed in connection with an event occurring before, on, or after the Petition Date. Indemnification Claims against the Debtors of (i) all parties or persons other than the officers and directors of the Debtors, and (ii) the officers and directors of the Debtors in connection with (x) the Combs Cases, (y) any action arising from substantially similar allegations as those alleged in the Combs Cases, or (z) any threatened or pending action (“Threatened or Pending Action”) against a director or officer of the Debtors with respect to which such director or officer is currently aware, unless such Threatened or Pending Action (1) has been disclosed to Mengnu by such director or officer of the Debtors, and (2) Mengnu has agreed that the Reorganized Debtors shall indemnify such officer or director with respect thereto, shall (a) not survive confirmation of the Plan or the Effective Date, (b) not become obligations of the Reorganized Debtors, and (c) be discharged in accordance with section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code. Further, the indemnification Claims of the Debtors’ officers and directors against the Debtors, shall, immediately after one (1) year following the Effective Date, (a) cease to be obligations of the Reorganized Debtors, and (b) be discharged in accordance with section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code. It is the Debtors’ position that all persons with indemnification Claims against the Debtors not otherwise allowed in accordance with this section shall be forever barred and enjoined from bringing such indemnification Claims against the Reorganized Debtors.

Director and Officer Insurance Policies

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, confirmation of the Plan shall not discharge, impair or otherwise modify any indemnity obligations assumed by the assumption of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies, and each such indemnity obligation will be deemed and treated as an Executory Contract that has been assumed by the Debtors under the Plan as to which no Proof of Claim need be filed.

In addition, on or before the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall obtain reasonably sufficient tail coverage (i.e., D&O insurance coverage that extends beyond the end of the policy period) under a D&O Liability Insurance Policies for the current (as of July 18, 2010) directors, officers and managers for a period of six years, and placed with such insurers, the terms of which shall be set forth in the Plan Supplement. After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall not terminate or otherwise reduce the coverage under any D&O Liability Insurance Policies (including any “tail policy”) in effect on the Petition Date, with respect to conduct occurring prior thereto, and all directors and officers of the Debtors who served in such capacity at any time prior to the Effective Date shall be entitled to the full benefits of any such policy for the full term of such policy regardless of whether such directors and officers remain in such positions after the Effective Date; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the Plan, the Plan Supplement or any document related thereto shall in any way be construed to benefit, indemnify or release any individuals who were former directors or officers of the Debtors.

HOWEVER, THE BANKRUPTCY COURT BELIEVES THAT, AS OF THE DATE HEREOF, APPLICABLE LAW DOES NOT PERMIT SUCH THIRD PARTY RELEASE WITH RESPECT TO DIRECT CLAIMS AGAINST THE RELEASED PARTIES THAT ARE NOT DERIVATIVE OF THE DEBTORS’ LIABILITY.

IT IS THE DEBTORS’ POSITION THAT ENTRY OF THE CONFIRMATION ORDER WILL CONSTITUTE THE BANKRUPTCY COURT’S APPROVAL PURSUANT TO SECTION 363 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE AND BANKRUPTCY RULE 9019 OF THE THIRD PARTY RELEASE, WHICH INCLUDES BY REFERENCE EACH OF THE RELATED PROVISIONS AND DEFINITIONS CONTAINED HEREIN, AND FURTHER, WILL CONSTITUTE THE BANKRUPTCY COURT’S FINDING THAT SUCH RELEASE IS (I) IN EXCHANGE FOR THE GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION PROVIDED BY THE DEBTORS AND THE OTHER RELEASED PARTIES, REPRESENTING GOOD FAITH SETTLEMENT AND COMPROMISE OF THE CLAIMS RELEASED HEREIN; (II) IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE DEBTORS AND ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS; (III) FAIR, EQUITABLE, AND REASONABLE; (IV) APPROVED AFTER DUE NOTICE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING; AND (V) A BAR TO ANY RELEASED CLAIM AGAINST ANY OF THE DEBTORS AND THE RELEASED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE PROPERTY

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, AS SUCH LAW MAY BE EXTENDED OR INTERPRETED SUBSEQUENT TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE, NOTHING IN THE CONFIRMATION ORDER OR THE PLAN SHALL EFFECT A RELEASE OF ANY CLAIM BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT OR ANY OF ITS AGENCIES OR ANY STATE AND LOCAL AUTHORITY WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY CLAIM ARISING UNDER ERISA, FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS, THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, THE ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS OR ANY CRIMINAL LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY STATE AND LOCAL AUTHORITY AGAINST ANY NON-DEBTOR RELEASED PARTY, NOR SHALL ANYTHING IN THE CONFIRMATION ORDER OR THE PLAN ENJOIN THE UNITED STATES OR ANY STATE OR LOCAL AUTHORITY FROM BRINGING ANY CLAIM, SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY NON-DEBTOR RELEASED PARTY FOR ANY LIABILITY WHATEVER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY CLAIM, SUIT OR ACTION ARISING UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, THE ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS OR ANY CRIMINAL LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY STATE OR LOCAL AUTHORITY, NOR SHALL ANYTHING IN THE CONFIRMATION ORDER OR THE PLAN EXCULPATE ANY PARTY FROM ANY LIABILITY TO THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT OR ANY OF ITS AGENCIES OR ANY STATE AND LOCAL AUTHORITY WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING ANY LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER ERISA, FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS, THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, THE ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS OR ANY CRIMINAL LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY STATE AND LOCAL AUTHORITY AGAINST ANY NON-DEBTOR RELEASED PARTY.

Section 12.09.

Exculpation and Limitation of Liability.

NONE OF THE DEBTORS, THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS, THE CREDITORS’ COMMITTEE AND ITS MEMBERS, THE PLAN SPONSOR, THE DISBURSING AGENT AND ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, MEMBERS, ATTORNEYS, CONSULTANTS, ADVISORS, AND AGENTS (BUT SOLELY IN THEIR CAPACITIES AS SUCH) SHALL HAVE OR INCUR ANY LIABILITY TO ANY HOLDER OF ANY CLAIM OR INTEREST FOR ANY ACT OR OMISSION UP TO AND INCLUDING THE EFFECTIVE DATE IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATED TO, OR ARISING OUT OF THE DEBTORS’ RESTRUCTURING AND THE CHAPTER 11 CASES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE NEGOTIATION AND EXECUTION OF THE PLAN, THE CHAPTER 11 CASES, THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, THE SOLICITATION OF VOTES FOR AND THE PURSUIT OF THE PLAN, THE CONSUMMATION OF THE PLAN, OR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN OR THE PROPERTY TO BE DISTRIBUTED UNDER THE PLAN, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL DOCUMENTS ANCILLARY THERETO, ALL DECISIONS, ACTIONS, INACTIONS AND ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE OR MISCONDUCT RELATING THERETO AND ALL PREPETITION ACTIVITIES LEADING TO THE PROMULGATION AND CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN EXCEPT FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS DETERMINED BY A FINAL ORDER OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT. ANY OF THE FOREGOING PARTIES SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RELY UPON THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL WITH RESPECT TO THEIR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER THE PLAN. PURSUANT TO RULE 1.8(h) OF THE NEW YORK RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT, NOTHING IN THE PLAN SHALL LIMIT THE LIABILITY OF THE PROFESSIONALS TO THEIR RESPECTIVE CLIENTS.

Section 12.10.

Injunction Related to Releases and Exculpation.

EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE PLAN, THE CONFIRMATION ORDER SHALL PERMANENTLY ENJOIN THE COMMENCEMENT OR PROSECUTION BY ANY PERSON OR ENTITY, WHETHER DIRECTLY, DERIVATIVELY OR OTHERWISE, OF ANY CLAIMS, OBLIGATIONS, SUITS, JUDGMENTS, DAMAGES, DEMANDS, DEBTS, RIGHTS, CAUSES OF ACTION OR LIABILITIES RELEASED PURSUANT TO THE PLAN, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE CLAIMS, OBLIGATIONS, SUITS, JUDGMENTS, DAMAGES, DEMANDS, DEBTS, RIGHTS, CAUSES OF ACTION OR LIABILITIES RELEASED IN ARTICLE XII OF THE PLAN.

Section 12.11.

Retention of Causes of Action/Reservation of Rights.

(a) Except as explicitly provided in the Plan, nothing contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to be a waiver, release, or relinquishment of any rights, claims or causes of action, rights of setoff, or other legal or equitable defenses (including, for avoidance of doubt, any cause of action to avoid a transfer under sections 303(c), 544, 547, 548, or 553(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, of any similar state law) that the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Litigation Trust may have, or which the Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trust may choose to assert on behalf of their respective estates under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable non-bankruptcy law, including, without limitation, (i) any and all Claims against any Person or entity, to the extent such Person or entity asserts a cross-claim, counterclaim, and/or Claim for setoff which seeks affirmative relief against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, (ii) the turnover of any property of the Debtors’ Estates, and (iii) Causes of Action against current of former directors, officers, professionals, agents, financial advisors, underwriters, lenders or auditors relating to act or omissions occurring prior to the Petition Date, subject to the limitations set forth in the Plan.

(b) Except as explicitly provided in the Plan, nothing contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to be a waiver, release or relinquishment of any rights, claims or causes of action, rights of setoff, or other legal or equitable defenses (including, for avoidance of doubt, any cause of action to avoid a transfer under sections 303(c), 544, 547, 548, or 553(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, of any similar state law) that the Debtors had immediately prior to the Petition Date against or with respect to any Claim left Unimpaired. The Reorganized Debtors or the Litigation Trust, as the case may be, shall have, retain, reserve, and be entitled to assert all such Claims, Causes of Action, rights of setoff and other legal or equitable defenses which they had immediately prior to the Petition Date fully as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced or the Litigation Trust Fund has not been transferred to the Litigation Trust in accordance with the Plan.

Section 12.12.

Administrative Claims Incurred After the Confirmation Date.

Administrative Claims incurred by the Reorganized Debtors after the Confirmation Date, including (without limitation) Claims for Professionals’ fees and expenses incurred after such date, may be paid by the Reorganized Debtors in the ordinary course of business and without the need for approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

Section 12.13.

Term of Injunctions or Stays.

Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Confirmation Order, all injunctions or stays provided for in the Chapter 11 Case under Sections 105(a) 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 and thereupon shall be deemed to have expired or been superseded by the Injunctions set forth in the Plan.

ARTICLE XIV

CONFIRMATION AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PLAN

Section 14.01.

Conditions Precedent to Confirmation.

Confirmation of the Plan is subject to:

(a) the Disclosure Statement having been approved by the Bankruptcy Court as having adequate information in accordance with section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code;

(b) entry of the Confirmation Order in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Debtors and the Plan Sponsor; and

Section 14.02.

Conditions Precedent to the Effective Date.

The occurrence of the Effective Date is subject to:

(a) the Confirmation Order, in form and substance satisfactory to the Debtors, having become a Final Order;

(b) the Plan and related documents, in form and substance satisfactory to the Debtors, the Creditors’ Committee, and the Plan Sponsor, being executed and delivered, and any conditions (other than the occurrence of the Effective Date or certification by the Debtors that the Effective Date has occurred) contained therein having been satisfied or waived in accordance therewith;

(d) the Debtors and Mengnu having executed all documents and entered into all agreements as may be necessary and appropriate in connection with the Secured Exit Credit Facility, the terms and conditions of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Debtors, the Plan Sponsor, and the Creditors’ Committee;

(e) all other actions and documents necessary to implement the Plan shall have been effected or executed and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Debtors, the Plan Sponsor, and the Creditors’ Committee;

(f) the New Common Stock shall have been authorized in the amounts set forth in the Plan and on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Plan Sponsor and the Creditors’ Committee;

(g) the Litigation Trust Agreement shall have been executed and all steps necessary to establish the Litigation Trust in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the Plan shall have occurred in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Creditors’ Committee;

(h) no Material Adverse Change having occurred from the date of entry of the Confirmation Order; and

(i) all material governmental, regulatory and third party approvals, waivers and/or consents in connection with the Plan, if any, having been obtained and remaining in full force and effect, and there existing no claim, action, suit, investigation, litigation or proceeding, pending or threatened in any court or before any arbitrator or governmental instrumentality, which would prohibit the consummation of the Plan.

Section 14.03.

Waiver of Conditions Precedent and Bankruptcy Rule 3020(e) Automatic Stay.

The Debtors, subject to receipt of consent from the Plan Sponsor and the Creditors’ Committee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, shall have the right to waive one or more of the conditions precedent set forth above at any time without leave of or notice to the Bankruptcy Court and without formal action other than proceeding with confirmation of the Plan.

If any condition precedent to the Effective Date is waived pursuant to this Section and the Effective Date occurs, the waiver of such condition shall benefit from the “mootness doctrine”, and the act of consummation of the Plan shall foreclose any ability to challenge the Plan in any court.

Section 14.04.

Effect of Failure of Conditions.

If all of the conditions to effectiveness and the occurrence of the Effective Date have not been satisfied or duly waived on or before the first Business Day that is more than 60 days after the Confirmation Date, or by such later date as set forth by the Debtors in a notice filed with the Bankruptcy Court prior to the expiration of such period, then the Debtors may file a motion to vacate the Confirmation Order before all of the conditions have been satisfied or duly waived. If the Confirmation Order is vacated pursuant to this Section, the Plan shall be null and void in all respects, and nothing contained in the Plan shall: (a) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims against or Interests in the Debtors; (b) prejudice in any manner the rights of the holder of any Claim against or Interest in the Debtors; or (c) constitute an admission, acknowledgment, offer or undertaking by any Debtor or any other entity with respect to any matter set forth in the Plan.

ARTICLE XV

Binding Effect of Plan.

The provisions of the Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Debtors, any Holder of any Claim or Interest treated herein and each of their respective heirs, executors, administrators, representatives, predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, officers and directors, and, to the fullest extent permitted under the Bankruptcy Code and other applicable law, each other Person affected by the Plan.

Section 15.02.

Severability.

Should the Bankruptcy Court determine prior to entry of the Confirmation Order, that any provision of the Plan is either illegal or unenforceable on its face or illegal or unenforceable as applied to any Claim or Interest, such provision shall be unenforceable as to all Holders of Claims or Interests or to the specific Holder of such Claim or Interest, as the case may be, as to which the provision is illegal. Unless otherwise determined by the Bankruptcy Court, such a determination shall in no way limit or affect the enforceability and operative effect of any other provisions of the Plan. The Debtors reserve the right not to proceed with Confirmation and/or consummation of the Plan if any such ruling occurs.

Section 15.03.

Governing Law.

Except to the extent that the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules or other federal laws are applicable, and subject to the provisions of any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan, the construction, implementation and enforcement of the Plan and all rights and obligations arising under the Plan shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the state of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles which would apply the law of a jurisdiction other than the state of New York or the United States of America.

Section 15.04.

Notices.

Any notice required or permitted to be provided under the Plan shall be in writing and served by either prepaid (i) certified mail, return receipt requested, (ii) hand delivery, or (iii) overnight delivery service, to be addressed as follows:

Section 15.09.

No Injunctive Relief.

No Claim shall be entitled to specific performance or other injunctive, equitable or other prospective relief except as may be specified in the Plan.

Section 15.10.

No Admissions.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the Effective Date, nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed an admission by any party with respect to any matter set forth herein, including, without limitation, liability on any Claim or the propriety of any classification of any Claim; provided, however, that the provisions of the Plan shall be treated as admissions under the Federal Rules of Evidence upon the Effective Date.

Section 15.11.

Extension of Time.

Any period of time or deadline under the Plan may be extended by agreement of the parties affected thereby, or by order of the Bankruptcy Court upon good cause shown.

Section 15.12.

Creditors’ Committee.

As of the Effective Date, the Creditors’ Committee will terminate and the members thereof and the professionals retained by the Creditors’ Committee in accordance with section 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be released and discharged from their respective fiduciary obligations; provided, however, that the Creditors’ Committee shall not not be dissolved for the following limited purposes: (i) seeking approval of any application of a Professional’s fees and expenses; (ii) objecting to any application of a Professional’s fees and expenses; and (iii) any appeals of the Confirmation Order. All reasonable fees and expenses of members of the Creditors’ Committee, and the reasonable fees and expenses of the Creditors’ Committee’s Professionals for post-Effective Date activities authorized under this Section shall be paid upon approval of the Reorganized Debtors, without further Bankruptcy Court approval upon the submission of invoices to the Reorganized Debtors. Following the Effective Date, none of the Creditors’ Committee’s professionals shall be precluded from representing the Litigation Trust, the Litigation Trustee, any entity acting for the Litigation Trust or the Litigation Trustee, or other entities created by the Plan.

Section 15.13.

Any deadline for filing Administrative Claims shall not apply to fees payable pursuant to section 1930 of title 28 of the United States Code.

Section 15.14.

Conflict.

To the extent that terms of Confirmation Order or the Plan are inconsistent with the Disclosure Statement or any agreement entered into between any of the Debtors and any other party, the terms of the Plan control the Disclosure Statement and any such agreement, except for the Litigation Trust Agreement (which controls as set forth in Section 9.09), and the provisions of the Confirmation Order (and any Final Orders entered by the Bankruptcy Court after the date of the Plan) control the terms of the Plan and the Litigation Trust Agreement.

Section 15.15.

Reservation of Rights

Except as expressly set forth herein, the Plan shall have no force or effect unless the Bankruptcy Court shall enter the Confirmation Order. None of the filing of the Plan, any statement or provision contained herein, or the taking of any action by the Debtors with respect to the Plan shall be or shall be, deemed to be, an admission or waiver of any rights of the Debtors with respect to any Claims or Interests prior to the Effective Date.
