15.1 Payment of U.S. Trustee’s Fees. All fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1930 incurred after the Effective Date shall be paid by the Liquidating Trust when due until the closing of the Chapter 11 Case.

15.2 No Admission Against Interest. Neither the filing of this Plan, the Disclosure Statement, nor any statement contained therein, is or shall be deemed an admission against interest. In the event that this Plan is not consummated, neither this Plan, the Disclosure Statement nor any statement contained therein may be used or relied upon in any manner in any suit, action, proceeding or controversy within or outside the Bankruptcy Court involving the Debtor or any of its former or present officers, directors or Interest holders.

15.3 No Waiver. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, nothing set forth in this Plan or the Disclosure Statement shall be deemed a waiver or release of any claims, rights or causes of action against any Person other than the Debtor.

15.4 Post-Confirmation Notice. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002 and any applicable local Bankruptcy Rules, notice of all post-Confirmation matters for which notice is required to be given shall be deemed sufficient if served upon counsel for the U.S. Trustee’s Office, counsel to the Debtor, counsel to the Liquidating Trustee and all persons on the Debtor’s Bankruptcy Rule 2002 service list. With the exception of the Debtor and the United States Trustee, any Person desiring to remain on the Debtor’s Bankruptcy Rule 2002 service list shall be required to file a request for continued service and to serve such request upon counsel to the Liquidating Trustee and the Debtor within 30 days subsequent to the Effective Date. Persons shall be notified of such continued notice requirements in the notice of entry of the Confirmation Order. Persons who do not file a request for continued service shall be removed from the Debtor’s Bankruptcy Rule 2002 service list upon the Effective Date.

15.5 Plan Modification. This Plan may be altered, amended or modified before or after the Confirmation Date in accordance with Section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code.

15.6 Revocation, Withdrawal or Non-Consummation. The Proponents reserve the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan at any time prior to the Confirmation Date and to file subsequent plans of reorganization. If the Proponents revoke or withdraw the Plan or if

Confirmation or consummation does not occur, then (a) the Plan shall be null and void in all respects; (b) any settlement or compromise embodied in the Plan (including the fixing or limiting to an amount certain Claims or Class of Claims), assumption or rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases affected by the Plan, and any document or agreement executed pursuant to the Plan shall be deemed null and void; and (c) nothing contained in the Plan shall (i) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims by or against, or any Interest in the Debtor or any other person; (ii) prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtor or any other Person; or (iii) constitute an admission of any sort by the Debtor or any other such Person.

15.7 Setoff Against Claims. The Liquidating Trust may setoff against any Claim or Interest, and the payments made pursuant to this Plan in respect of such Claim or Interest, any claims or causes of action of any nature whatsoever that such Liquidating Trust or the Debtor may have against the holder of the Claim, but neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of such Claim or Interest shall constitute a waiver or release by the Liquidating Trust or the Debtor of any claims, rights or causes of actions against the holder of the Claim. Any payment in respect of a disputed, unliquidated or contingent Claim shall be returned promptly to the Liquidating Trust in the event and to the extent such Claims are determined by the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction not to be Allowed Claims. Confirmation of this Plan shall bar any right of setoff claimed by a Creditor unless such Creditor filed, prior to the Confirmation Date, a motion for relief from the automatic stay seeking the authority to effectuate such a setoff right. All defenses of the Liquidating Trust with respect to any such motion are hereby preserved.

15.8 Further Action. The Liquidating Trust and the Debtor are authorized to take any action necessary or appropriate to execute the provisions of this Plan.

15.9 Headings. The article and section headings used in this Plan are inserted for convenience and reference only and neither constitutes a part of this Plan nor in any manner affects the terms, provisions or interpretation of this Plan.

15.10 Bar Date for Professional Fee Claims. Any and all applications for the request for the final allowance of Professional Fee Claims shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served upon former counsel to the Debtor, former counsel to the Creditors’ Committee, the U.S. Trustee, counsel to the Liquidating Trust, the Liquidating Trust, and all parties requesting notice pursuant to Section 15.4 of the Plan on or before the date which is 60 days after the Effective Date.

15.11 Severability of Plan Provisions. If, prior to the Confirmation Date, any term of the Plan is determined by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court, at the request of the Proponents, will have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, and such term or provision will then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Joint Plain will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated by such holding, alteration, or interpretation. The Confirmation Order will constitute a judicial determination and will provide that each term and provision of the Plan,

as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms.

15.12 Governing Law. Except to the extent the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules or other federal law is applicable, or to the extent otherwise provided in the Plan, the rights and obligations arising under this Plan shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Delaware, without giving any effect to the principles of conflicts of law of such jurisdiction.
