Summary of the Plan

The following is a summary of the material features of the Plan. This summary of the Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan and the Disclosure Statement. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.

Under the Plan, certain Claims against and Interests in the Company and the Affiliated Debtors, including Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims, are unclassified and will be paid in full in Cash to the extent that they become Allowed Claims. All other Claims and Interests are classified in Classes 1 through 6. The following table provides a summary of the classification and treatment of such Claims and Interests.

Class 6: Interests

Holders of Interests, which include the stockholders of the Company and the Affiliated Debtors, will not receive any Distribution of any kind under the Plan on account of such Interests; provided, however, that if prior to the closing of the Chapter 11 Cases the Plan Administrator, in consultation with the PEDC, determines that Residual Equity Assets are available for Distribution to Holders of Interests (meaning that additional assets are available after satisfying essentially all other pre- and post-bankruptcy filing claims), then, upon reasonable notice to the Holders of Record of Interests as of the Interest Distribution Record Date (which will be the 15th day after the Effective Date of the Plan), and to the United States Trustee and the PEDC, the Plan Administrator will file a motion with the Court requesting approval of procedures for making Distributions to the Holders of Interests as of the Interest Distribution Record Date. The Company does not believe that any assets will be available for such Distributions. All Interests in the Company and the Affiliated Debtors will be deemed canceled as of the Effective Date of the Plan.

All equity interests in the Company and the Affiliated Debtors, including the interests of the holders of the Company's Common Stock, $.0001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), and the Company's Series D Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, $.0001 par value (the "Preferred Stock"), are included in Class 6: Interests. Under the Plan, all Class 6: Interests were deemed canceled as of the Effective Date of the Plan, thus, no equity interests of the Company are issued and outstanding as of the date hereof.
