No. 3977], dated March 16, 2009, tabulating the results of the balloting; (iii) any exhibits admitted into evidence at the Hearing; (iv) the arguments of counsel presented at the Hearing; and (v) any objections filed with respect to the confirmation of the Plan that were not withdrawn or otherwise resolved prior to or at the Hearing, and the Court being familiar with the Plan and any other relevant factors affecting the above-captioned jointly administered chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”), and the Court having taken judicial notice of the entire record of the Chapter 11 Cases, including, without limitation, the Order (A) Approving Form and Manner of Notice of Disclosure Statement Hearing, (B) Disclosure Statement, (C) Establishing Procedures for Solicitation and Tabulation of Votes to Accept or Reject Proposed Chapter 11 Plan and (D) Scheduling a Hearing on Confirmation of Proposed Chapter 11 Plan and Approving Related Notice Procedures [Docket No. 3304], dated January 26, 2009 (the “Voting Procedures Order”), and the Debtors, in accordance with the Voting Procedures Order, having caused Solicitation Packages containing copies of: (i) the Confirmation Hearing Notice; (ii) the Disclosure Statement (together with the exhibits thereto, including the Plan, that have been filed with the Court before the date of the mailing); and (iii) an appropriate form of Ballot and a Ballot return envelope, to holders of claims entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan, to be delivered in accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraphs 15 and 18 of the Voting Procedures Order;

IT IS HEREBY FOUND, ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED AS FOLLOWS:(3)

1. The record of the Hearing is now closed.

(3) Findings of fact shall be construed as conclusions of law, and conclusions of law shall be construed as findings of fact, when appropriate. See Bankruptcy Rule 7052 and 9014.

2. The Court has jurisdiction to conduct the Hearing and to confirm the Plan pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1334. Venue is proper before this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.

3. Confirmation of the Plan is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b), and the Court has jurisdiction to enter a final order with respect thereto.

4. The Debtors have complied with the solicitation procedures contained in the Voting Procedures Order.

5. All persons required to receive notice of the Disclosure Statement, the Plan and the Hearing have received proper, timely and adequate notice in accordance with the Voting Procedures Order and have had an opportunity to appear and be heard with respect thereto in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.

6. The Debtors have solicited and tabulated the votes with respect to confirmation of the Plan in good faith and in a manner consistent with the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and the Voting Procedures Order and have met all requirements for confirmation of the Plan.

7. The Plan, subject to any express modifications contained in this Confirmation Order, is hereby APPROVED and CONFIRMED under section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code and the relief requested in the Plan, subject to any express modifications contained in this Confirmation Order, is GRANTED. The terms and provisions of the Plan are expressly incorporated into and are an integral part of this Confirmation Order. Each term and provision of the Plan is valid, binding and enforceable as though set forth herein. The failure specifically to include or reference any particular term or provision of the Plan in this Confirmation Order shall not diminish or impair the effectiveness of such term or provision, it

being the intent of the Court that the Plan be confirmed in its entirety. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is any direct conflict between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Confirmation Order, the terms of this Confirmation Order shall control.

8. The Effective Date shall be no later than August 30, 2009; provided however, the Debtors expressly reserve the right to seek to extend the August 30, 2009 date by motion filed with the Court upon the consent of the Creditors’ Committee and the Senior Noteholders’ Committee.

9. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan, the Plan does not, and shall not be deemed to, impact any claims or causes of action individually held by Senior Noteholders against non-Debtor third-parties, except as provided in Articles IX.A.2 and A.3 of the Plan.

10. Nothing in the Plan, the Confirmation Order or the Liquidating Trust Agreement shall modify or affect the protections afforded to the holders of Permitted Prior Liens in paragraph 21 of the Final DIP Order or the Debtors’ obligations in connection therewith. Furthermore, insofar as any of the funds held by the Debtors in a segregated account in accordance with paragraph 21 of the Final DIP Order pertain to Allowed Priority Tax Claims for Texas ad valorem taxes or the interest thereon with respect to ad valorem taxes or the interest thereon, as provided for in Article II.B of the Plan, such funds shall not be (1) subject to any Liquidation Trust Expenses, (2) subject to any costs, fees, or expenses of any party whatsoever, or (3) used by the Liquidation Trustee or any other party for any purpose whatsoever, until all allowed Texas ad valorem tax claims, and the interest to which such taxes are entitled (which shall continue to accrue, to the extent allowable under applicable law, until such taxes are resolved and paid) have been paid in full. Furthermore, any such Texas ad valorem tax claims

shall not be subject to any diminution of entitlement whatsoever by virtue of being treated and classified as Priority Tax Claims under the Plan notwithstanding their alleged secured status.

11. As soon as practicable after the liquidation of the Remaining Senior Noteholders’ Collateral and the distribution of the proceeds thereof by the Reorganized Debtors to the holders of Allowed Senior Notes Claims in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the wind-down of the Debtors’ affairs, each of the Debtors shall file its certificate of dissolution, together with all other necessary corporate documents, to effect its dissolution under the applicable laws of its state of incorporation. The filing by each Debtor of its certificate of dissolution shall be authorized and approved in all respects without further action under applicable law, regulation, order or rule, including, without limitation, any action by the stockholders or the board of directors of each such Debtor and expressly without the need to pay any franchise or similar taxes in order to effectuate such dissolution.

12. Unless otherwise specified in the Plan Supplement, the Plan constitutes a motion to reject each executory contract or unexpired lease. The Court finds that it is the exercise of the Debtors’ reasonable business judgment to reject each executory contract or unexpired lease. As of the entry of the Confirmation Order, each executory contract or unexpired lease that has not previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms, except for any executory contract or unexpired lease that was previously assumed or rejected by an order of the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or excepted by the Plan Supplement, shall be deemed rejected pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Any claim resulting from a rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease under the Plan must be filed in accordance with Article VII.B of the Plan within thirty (30) days after the entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court. Any such claim not

filed within such time period will be forever barred from assertion against the Debtors, their Estates, their successors and assigns, and their assets and properties, unless otherwise ordered by this Court or as otherwise provided in the Plan.

13. The Court finds that the Plan satisfies all of the elements required by section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent that any Class was impaired under the Plan and did not vote to accept the Plan, the Court finds that the Debtors have satisfied the “cramdown” requirements of sections 1122, 1123 and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to such Class.

14. Any objections to confirmation of the Plan that have not been withdrawn prior to the entry of this Confirmation Order are hereby overruled in their entirety, and any withdrawn objections are hereby deemed withdrawn with prejudice.

15. Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, the provisions of the Plan shall bind any holder of a Claim against, or Interest in, the Debtors, their 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 accepted the Plan.

16. The classifications of claims for distributions shall be governed by the Plan and this Confirmation Order. Classifications set forth in the Form of Ballot were solely for voting purposes and do not affect Plan classifications or modify or affect classifications for distributions and thus do not bind the Debtors or the Liquidating Trustee.

17. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in the Plan, all Parties and Entities are permanently enjoined, on and after the Effective Date, on account of any Claim or Equity Interest satisfied and released by the Plan, from: (a) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind against any Debtor, Reorganized Debtor, the

Plan Administrator, the LNT Liquidating Trust or the Liquidating Trustee, their successors and assigns, and their assets and properties; (b) enforcing, attaching, collecting or recovering by any manner or means any judgment, award, decree or order against any Debtor, Reorganized Debtor, the Plan Administrator, the LNT Liquidating Trust or the Liquidating Trustee, their successors and assigns, and their assets and properties; (c) creating, perfecting, or enforcing any encumbrance of any kind against any Debtor, Reorganized Debtor, the Plan Administrator, the LNT Liquidating Trust or the Liquidating Trustee or the property or estate of any Debtor or the LNT Liquidating Trust; (d) asserting any right of setoff, subrogation or recoupment of any kind against any obligation due from any Debtor, Reorganized Debtor, the Plan Administrator, the LNT Liquidating Trust or the Liquidating Trustee or against the property or estate of any of the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors or the LNT Liquidating Trust, except to the extent a right to setoff, recoupment or subrogation is asserted with respect to a timely filed proof of claim, in a timely filed objection to the Plan or as an affirmative defense to a Cause of Action or claim asserted by a Debtor, a Reorganized Debtor or the LNT Liquidating Trust against such party; and (e) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind in respect of any Claim or Equity Interest or Cause of Action released or settled under the Plan.

18. The Exculpation provision provided for in Article IX.B of the Plan is hereby APPROVED.

19. The Senior Notes Claims hereby are, and for all purposes in the Chapter 11 Cases shall be deemed to be, Allowed Senior Notes Claims in the amount of $669 million.

20. The Global Compromise is hereby APPROVED and the Court finds that the Global Compromise is fair, equitable, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Debtors, Estates, and holders of Claims and Equity Interests; moreover, until the Effective Date, the

Debtors shall (a) be authorized pursuant to this Order to only make distributions that are consistent with the specific itemized line item caps set forth in the Wind-Down Budget filed on June 12, 2009 [Docket No. 4489] (the “Budget”),(4) or upon consent of the Senior Noteholder Committee, or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court following notice and a hearing and (b) provide to the Senior Noteholder Committee, weekly financial reports setting forth actual weekly results, compared to the Budget, including listing all proceeds received, distributions made, and liabilities incurred.

21. The releases set forth in Article IX.A of the Plan are hereby APPROVED pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9019 and the Court finds that such releases are: (a) in exchange for good and valuable consideration, representing a good faith settlement and compromise of the Claims and Causes of Action thereby released; (b) in the best interests of the Debtors and all holder of Claims; (c) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (d) approved after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (e) a bar to any of the Debtors, the LNT Liquidating Trust, and the holders of Claims voting to accept the Plan, asserting any Claim or Cause of Action thereby released.

22. Upon the Effective Date, all settlements and compromises that are embodied in the Plan, and all settlements and compromises approved by order of the Bankruptcy Court during the pendency of the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases are hereby approved as fair, equitable, reasonable and in the best interests of the Debtors and their estates, creditors and holders of Interests, and such settlements and compromises shall be, and hereby are, effective

(4) For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to professionals, this provision shall be interpreted such that (a) if a professional’s fees exceed the line item cap related to such professional’s fees, the Debtors shall not pay that professional’s excess fees, however it will have no effect on any other professional whose fees are within such professional’s aggregate line item cap and (b) to the extent a professional’s fees are below the line item cap associated with such professional in a given period, such deficiency may be credited to a future period, but in no event may the professional exceed its aggregate line item cap.

and binding on all persons and entities who may have had standing to assert such claims or causes of action. Pursuant to section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019(a): upon the Effective Date (i) the settlements, compromises, exculpations, and injunctions set forth in the Plan and implemented by this Confirmation Order shall be, and hereby are, approved as equitable, reasonable and in the best interests of the Debtors, the creditors, and Interest holders; (ii) the classification and manner of satisfying all Claims and Interests and the respective distributions and treatments under the Plan take into account and/or conform to the relative priority rights of the Claims and Interests in each Class in connection with any contractual, legal and equitable subordination rights relating thereto; and (iii) the settlement, compromise and release of any and all such rights pursuant to the Plan are in the best interests of the Debtors, the creditors, and Interest holders, and shall be, and hereby are, approved as fair, equitable, and reasonable.

23. In accordance with section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code and Article IV of the Plan, and pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 105(a), 1123(a)(5)(B) and 1123(a)(5)(c), effective as of the Effective Date, the Debtors will be substantively consolidated as set forth in the Plan for the purposes of confirming and consummating the Plan, including but not limited to voting, confirmation and distribution. In addition, for purposes of classification, voting and distributions under the Plan, all guaranties by any of the Debtors of the obligations of any Debtor arising prior to the Effective Date shall be deemed eliminated under the Plan so that any Claim against any Debtor and any guaranty thereof executed by any other Debtor and any joint and several liability of any of the Debtors shall be deemed to be one obligation of the deemed consolidated Debtor.

24. All fees payable pursuant to section 1930 of title 28 of the United States Code after the Effective Date, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court at a hearing pursuant to section 1128 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be paid prior to the closing of the Chapter 11 Cases on the earlier of when due or the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as practicable.

25. In accordance with section 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code, upon the entry of this Confirmation Order, the Debtors, acting by and through their officers and agents, be, and hereby are, authorized to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to implement the Plan, including, without limitation, forming the LNT Liquidating Trust, without any further order of the Court.

26. As set forth in Article IX.C.1.b of the Plan, after the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trustee shall have the exclusive right to institute, prosecute, abandon, settle, or compromise any Trust Claims or Avoidance Actions, in its sole discretion and without further order of the Bankruptcy Court, in any court or other tribunal, including, without limitation, in an adversary proceeding filed in one or more of the Chapter 11 Cases; provided, however, no Cause of Action of $1,000,000 or more shall be settled or compromised by the Liquidating Trustee without this Court’s approval.

27. Pursuant to section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfers of property pursuant hereto shall not be subject to any stamp tax or other similar tax or governmental assessment in the United States. Consistent with the foregoing, each recorder of deeds or similar official for any county, city or governmental unit in which any instrument hereunder is to be recorded are hereby ordered and directed to accept such instrument, without requiring the payment of any stamp tax or similar tax.

28. In accordance with section 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors, the Liquidating Trustee, the Plan Administrator and any other entity designated pursuant to the Plan, are hereby authorized, empowered and directed to issue, execute, deliver, file and record any document, and to take any action necessary or appropriate to implement, consummate and otherwise effectuate the Plan in accordance with its terms, including, but not limited to, the Liquidating Trust Agreement, and all such entities shall be bound by the terms and provisions of all such documents issued, executed and delivered by them as necessary or appropriate to implement and/or effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Plan.

29. As of the Effective Date, the transfer register or ledger maintained by Senior Notes Indenture Trustee for the Senior Notes shall be closed, and there shall be no further changes in the record holders of any Senior Notes. The Senior Notes Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes under this Plan with only those holders of record as of the close of business on the Effective Date.

30. The Court finds that the Liquidating Trust Agreement and the formation of the LNT Liquidating Trust are each essential elements of the Plan, and that entry into the Liquidating Trust Agreement on the terms set forth in Exhibit 2 to the Plan Supplement, or in a form substantially similar thereto, is in the reasonable exercise of the Debtors’ business judgment, and is in the best interests of the Debtors, their estates and their creditors. The entry by the Debtors and the Liquidating Trustee into the Liquidating Trust Agreement is therefore APPROVED. The Liquidating Trust Agreement shall, upon execution, be valid, binding, and enforceable and shall not be in conflict with any federal or state law.

31. On the Effective Date, (a) the Debtors’ Estates shall be deemed to have irrevocably transferred (i) the Liquidating Trust Assets to the LNT Liquidating Trust, for and on

behalf of the Beneficiaries of the LNT Liquidating Trust, and neither the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors nor any other Person or Entity shall retain any reversionary or other interest in the Liquidating Trust Assets, and the LNT Liquidating Trust shall be vested with and succeed to all right, title and interest of Debtors’ Estates in and to the Liquidating Trust Assets, (ii) to the LNT Liquidating Trust, the Debtors’ evidentiary privileges, including, without limitation, the attorney-client privilege, as they in any way relate to Trust Claims, Avoidance Actions and Disputed General Unsecured Claims, and (iii) to the LNT Liquidating Trust all of the Debtors’ books and records relating to Trust Claims, Avoidance Actions and Disputed General Unsecured Claims, and upon dissolution of the Reorganized Debtors, any remaining Disputed Claims; and (b) the LNT Liquidating Trust shall succeed, for the benefit of the Beneficiaries, to all of the rights, privileges and immunities with respect to the Liquidating Trust Assets, including, without limitation, all evidentiary privileges of the Debtors and the time periods in which Trust Claims and Avoidance Actions may be brought under sections 108 and 546 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

32. Interests in the LNT Liquidating Trust shall be uncertificated and shall be non-transferable except upon death of the interest holder or by operation of law. The terms of the Liquidating Trust Agreement may be amended as set forth in the Liquidating Trust Agreement. For federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the LNT Liquidating Trust be classified as a liquidating trust under United States Treasury Regulation Article 301.7701-4(d) and that such trust is owned by its beneficiaries as grantors. Accordingly, for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Liquidating Trust Assets will be treated as being transferred by the Debtors to the Beneficiaries pursuant to the Plan in exchange for their Allowed Claims and

then by the Beneficiaries to the LNT Liquidating Trust in exchange for the beneficial interests in the LNT Liquidating Trust.

33. The transfers of property to, or succession of rights by, the LNT Liquidating Trust or Liquidating Trustee herein, in the Liquidating Trust Agreement and in the Plan shall not subject the LNT Liquidating Trust, the Liquidating Trustee or the Liquidating Trust Committee to any liability whatsoever whether under the Bankruptcy Code, applicable nonbankruptcy law or otherwise, including, without limitation, any liability arising under any law (including common law) affecting successor or transferee liability.

34. The Court finds that it is in the best interests of the creditors and interest holders that the Causes of Action that are not expressly settled or released under the Plan be retained by the Reorganized Debtors or the LNT Liquidating Trust pursuant to Article IX.C of the Plan in order to maximize the value of the Debtors’ Estates.

35. On the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trustee shall accept the LNT Liquidating Trust and sign the Liquidating Trust Agreement on the terms set forth in Exhibit 2 to the Plan Supplement, or in a form substantially similar thereto, and the LNT Liquidating Trust will then be deemed created and effective, without any further action by any other Person or Entity, including without limitation, the directors or shareholders of the Debtors.

36. The Liquidating Trustee and the Liquidating Trust Committee are hereby authorized, without limitation, to seek enforcement of orders, stipulations and subpoenas that were entered, executed or issued at the request, or with the consent, of either the Debtors or the Creditors’ Committee prior to the Effective Date concerning the production of documents or the conduct of oral examinations pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2004 or otherwise, and that the Liquidating Trustee is the successor in interest to the Creditors’ Committee with respect to any

order, stipulation or subpoena entered or issued at the request, or with the consent, of the Creditors’ Committee with respect to the investigation of Trust Claims.

37. The Liquidating Trustee and the Liquidating Trust Committee are hereby authorized to carry out all duties as set forth in the Plan, this Order and the Liquidating Trust Agreement. The duties and powers of the Liquidating Trustee shall include, without limitation, those duties and powers set forth in Articles 1.3 and 7.3 of the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

38. In the event of an inconsistency between the Plan and the Exhibits to the Plan Supplement (as may be modified), the Exhibits to the Plan Supplement will control.

39. Pursuant to Article IV.D.4 of the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Liquidating Trustee can employ and compensate professionals and other agents, provided, however, that any such compensation shall be made only out of the Liquidating Trust Assets.

40. On the Effective Date, and without having to obtain any further order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Liquidating Trustee is authorized to intervene as plaintiff, movant or additional party, as appropriate, in any Cause of Action commenced by the Debtors (whether asserted in actions, adversary proceedings, contested matters, avoidance actions or motions or otherwise which were filed prior to the Effective Date), where the subject matter of any such Cause of Action involves a Liquidating Trust Asset or a Disputed General Unsecured Claim.

41. Pursuant to sections 105(a) and 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code, and notwithstanding entry of this Confirmation Order or the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction, as provided in the Plan and paragraph 30 of this Order, over all matters arising out of, and related to, the Chapter 11 Cases and the Plan to the fullest

extent permitted by law, including among other items, jurisdiction over those items and matters set forth in Article X of the Plan.

42. Except as otherwise ordered by this Court, the Liquidating Trust Expenses on or after the Effective Date shall be paid from the LNT Liquidating Trust in accordance with the Liquidating Trust Agreement without further order of the Bankruptcy Court; provided that the members of the Liquidating Trust Committee shall serve without compensation. The Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, the Liquidating Trustee, LNT Liquidating Trust Committee and all professionals shall have no personal liability in the event there are insufficient funds to pay Liquidating Trust Expenses.

43. On the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, the Reorganized Debtors shall establish a Disputed Reserve for Disputed Other Secured Claims, Disputed Administrative Claims, Disputed Priority Tax Claims and Disputed Other Priority Claims, which reserve shall be administered by the Reorganized Debtors. The Reorganized Debtors shall reserve in Cash or other property, for distribution on account of each Disputed Other Secured, Administrative, Priority Tax and Other Priority Claim, the full asserted amount (or such lesser amount as may be estimated by this Court in accordance with Article VI.D of the Plan) with respect to each such Disputed Claim. Following dissolution of the Reorganized Debtors, any remaining funds in the Disputed Reserves shall be held by the LNT Liquidating Trust.

44. On the Initial Distribution Date, and after making all Distributions to Beneficiaries required to be made on such date under the Plan, the Liquidating Trustee shall establish a separate Disputed Reserve for Disputed General Unsecured Claims, which Disputed Reserve shall be administered by the Liquidating Trustee. The Liquidating Trustee shall reserve

in Cash or other property, for Distribution on account of each Disputed General Unsecured Claim, the full amount distributable with respect to the asserted amount (or such lesser amount as may be estimated by this Court in accordance with Article VI.D of the Plan) with respect to each Disputed Claim.

45. The Liquidating Trust Agreement and the agreement to retain the Liquidating Trustee, are legal, valid, binding, enforceable and authorized in accordance with their terms. In accordance with section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, upon the Effective Date (a) the Plan Administrator shall be deemed the Estates’ representative with respect to all of the Estates’ assets and claims, except the Liquidating Trust Assets and Disputed General Unsecured Claims, and (b) the Person to be designated as the Liquidating Trustee shall be deemed the Estates’ representative with respect to the Liquidating Trust Assets and Disputed General Unsecured Claims. Following dissolution of the Reorganized Debtors, the Liquidating Trustee shall be deemed the Estates’ representative with respect to all of the Estates’ assets and claims.

46. All of the modifications to the Plan, including those contained in this Confirmation Order, are non-material and are consistent with Bankruptcy Code sections 1122, 1123 and 1127(a). Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3019, this Court finds that the modifications to the Plan contained in this Confirmation Order do not adversely change the treatment of the Claim of any creditor or the Interest of any Interest holder who has not accepted the Plan in writing, and such modifications are hereby deemed accepted by all creditors and Interest holders who have previously accepted the Plan.

47. After the entry of this Confirmation Order and prior to “substantial consummation” (as such term is defined in section 1101(2) of the Bankruptcy Code) of the Plan,

any Debtor, the LNT Liquidating Trust or the Liquidating Trustee may institute proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to section 1127(b) of the Bankruptcy Code to remedy any effect or omission or reconcile any inconsistencies in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement or this Confirmation Order, and such matters as may be necessary to carry out the purposes and the effects of the Plan, by the filing of a motion on notice to the Bankruptcy Rule 2002 service list only, and the solicitation of all creditors and other parties-in-interest shall not be required.

48. Nothing in the Plan or this Confirmation Order is intended to modify or violate 28 U.S.C. § 157(d).

49. Substantial consummation of the Plan shall be deemed to occur on the Effective Date. Further, Bankruptcy Rule 3020(e) shall not apply to this Confirmation Order and the Debtors are authorized to consummate the Plan immediately upon entry of this Confirmation Order.

50. The reversal, vacatur or modification of this Confirmation Order shall not affect the validity of the acts or obligations incurred or undertaken in connection with the Plan or this Confirmation Order prior to the entry of such order reversing, vacating or modifying this Confirmation Order. Any act or obligation undertaken or incurred prior to a vacatur or modification of this Confirmation Order shall be governed by the Plan and this Confirmation Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Debtors fail to satisfy the condition set forth in Article VIII.A.3 of the Plan, the Confirmation Order shall be of no force or effect and the Plan shall be deemed withdrawn.

51. This Confirmation Order is a final order and the period in which an appeal must be filed shall commence upon the entry hereof.

B. Priority Tax Claims

1. All Allowed Priority Tax Claims, secured and unsecured, shall be treated under this Article II.B.

2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, all governmental taxing units shall retain any statutory liens to which they are entitled as a matter of nonbankruptcy law to the extent such liens are senior to the liens of the Senior Noteholders under applicable nonbankruptcy law. Such senior statutory liens shall continue to encumber the assets to which they attach as a matter of nonbankruptcy law, as well as the proceeds of such assets, until such Allowed Priority Claims have been paid in full, including all interest to which such governmental taxing unit is entitled under sections 511(a) and 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The amount of any Priority Tax Claim that is not otherwise due and payable on or prior to the Effective Date, and the rights of the holder of such Claim, if any, to payment in respect thereof shall: (a) be determined in the manner in

which the amount of such Claim and the rights of the holder of such Claim would have been resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced; (b) survive after the Effective Date as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced; and (c) not be discharged pursuant to section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code.

ARTICLE IV.

MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN

A. Substantive Consolidation

1. Pursuant to the Global Compromise, the Plan is premised upon substantively consolidating the Debtors as set forth herein for the limited purposes of confirming and consummating the Plan, including but not limited to voting, confirmation and distribution. Each and every Claim filed or to be filed in the Chapter 11 Cases against any Debtor shall be considered filed against the consolidated Debtors and shall be considered one Claim against and obligation of the consolidated Debtors.

2. All guaranties by any of the Debtors of the obligations of any Debtor arising prior to the Effective Date shall be deemed eliminated under the Plan so that any Claim against any Debtor and any guaranty thereof executed by any other Debtor and any joint and several liability of any of the Debtors shall be deemed to be one obligation of the deemed consolidated Debtors.

3. Such substantive consolidation shall not affect any liens or other security interests held by prepetition secured Claim holders (including the Senior Noteholders and the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee).

4. In the event the Bankruptcy Court authorizes the Debtors to substantively consolidate less than all of the Debtors’ Estates: (a) the Plan shall be treated as a separate plan for each Debtor not substantively consolidated; and (b) the Debtors shall not be required to re-solicit votes with respect to the Plan.

B. Continued Corporate Existence, Vesting of Assets in the Reorganized Debtors, and Mergers

1. On the Effective Date, all property of the Debtors, including all Remaining Senior Noteholders’ Collateral and all Defensive Causes of Action, but excluding the Liquidating Trust Assets, shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors, free and clear of all Claims, Interests, liens, charges or other encumbrances, except that the Remaining Senior Noteholders’ Collateral shall remain subject to the Claims, Interests, and charges of the Senior Noteholders and the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee and subject to and encumbered by liens of the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee having the extent, validity, perfection, and priority set forth in the Final DIP Order.

2. On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall continue to liquidate the Remaining Senior Noteholders’ Collateral and distribute the net proceeds thereof to the holders of Allowed Senior Notes Claims in accordance with the terms of the Plan. All costs, fees and expenses of the Reorganized Debtors (including all professional fees of the Plan Administrator and of the Senior Noteholders Committee) relating to such liquidation of the Remaining Senior Noteholders’ Collateral shall be paid from the Remaining Senior Noteholders’ Collateral Proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reorganized Debtors will not liquidate the 25% membership interest in LNT Acquisition, LLC held by Linens Holding Co. (the “IP LLC Interest”). Following the Effective Date, the Senior Noteholders Committee will direct the Plan Administrator regarding the transfer, maintenance, or other disposition of the IP LLC Interest including, as necessary, creation of any entity or vehicle necessary to effectuate a transfer.

3. On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may engage in any act or activity authorized by the New Organizational Documents, including the merger or dissolution of one or more of the Reorganized Debtors, without the Bankruptcy Court’s supervision or approval, and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules, other than those restrictions expressly imposed by the Plan or Confirmation Order.

4. On the Effective Date, any provision in any operating agreements, partnership agreements, limited liability company agreements or any other organizational document (as the same may be amended or restated from time to time) of any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor requiring dissolution, liquidation, or withdrawal of a member upon insolvency, bankruptcy or the filing of Chapter 11 Cases:

(a) is deemed waived and of no further force and effect; and

(b) any action taken to prevent or revoke such potential dissolution or liquidation by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors or potential withdrawal of any such Debtors or Reorganized Debtors from the applicable limited liability company or partnership is ratified and deemed effective to prevent such dissolution or liquidation and each such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor shall continue its existence regardless of any such provision.

5. In the Plan Supplement or an appropriate notice filed not less than five (5) days prior to the hearing to consider confirmation of the Plan, the Debtors will disclose the Plan Administrator (selected by the Senior Noteholders’ Committee) and file any agreement regarding the Plan Administrator’s rights and responsibilities.

C. Appointment of a Liquidating Trustee and a Liquidating Trust Committee.

1. On or prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors, the Creditors’ Committee and the Senior Noteholders’ Committee shall agree upon and appoint a Liquidating Trustee. Additionally, on or prior to the Confirmation Date, the Debtors, the Creditors’ Committee and the Senior Noteholders’ Committee shall appoint a two (2) member Liquidating Trust Committee, which shall consist of one representative designated by the Senior Noteholders’ Committee and one representative designated by the Creditors’ Committee. Each member of the Liquidating Trust Committee will be entitled to vote on all matters, except as set forth in the Liquidating Trust Agreement. In the event the members disagree on a material issue, they will use their best efforts to appoint a mutually agreed upon third representative to resolve the disagreement, or to effectuate another mechanism for resolving the dispute.

2. The member of the Liquidating Trust Committee selected by the Senior Noteholders’ Committee shall be entitled to select the Liquidating Trustee’s counsel for all Avoidance Actions, which selection shall be subject to the consent of the member of the Liquidating Trust Committee selected by the Creditors’ Committee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

The Liquidating Trustee shall serve at the direction of the Liquidating Trust Committee as set forth in the Liquidating Trust Agreement, provided, however, the Liquidating Trust Committee may not direct the Liquidating Trustee or the members of the Liquidating Trust Committee to act inconsistently with their duties under the Liquidating Trust Agreement and the Plan.

The Beneficiaries shall be treated as the grantors and owners of the LNT Liquidating Trust. As soon as possible after the Effective Date, but in no event later than sixty (60) days thereafter, (i) the Liquidating Trust Committee shall inform the Liquidating Trustee in writing of the fair market value of the Liquidating Trust Assets as of the Effective Date, based on its good faith determination, and (ii) the Liquidating Trustee shall establish

(e) Interests in the LNT Liquidating Trust shall be uncertificated and shall be non-transferable except upon death of the interest holder or by operation of law. Holders of interests in the LNT Liquidating Trust shall have no voting rights with respect to such interests. The LNT Liquidating Trust shall have a term of three (3) years from the Effective Date, without prejudice to the rights of the Liquidating Trust Committee to extend such term conditioned upon the LNT Liquidating Trust not becoming subject to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as now in effect or hereafter amended).

(a) On the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, the Reorganized Debtors shall establish a Disputed Reserve for Disputed Other Secured Claims, Disputed Administrative Claims,

Disputed Priority Tax Claims and Disputed Other Priority Claims, which reserve shall be administered by the Reorganized Debtors. The Reorganized Debtors shall reserve in Cash or other property, for distribution on account of each Disputed Other Secured, Administrative, Priority Tax and Other Priority Claim, the full asserted amount (or such lesser amount as may be determined by the Court after notice and a hearing or such lesser amount as may be estimated by the Court in accordance with Article VI.D hereof) with respect to each such Disputed Claim. Following dissolution of the Reorganized Debtors, any remaining funds in the Disputed Reserves shall be held by the LNT Liquidating Trust.

(b) On the Initial Distribution Date, and after making all Distributions to Beneficiaries required to be made on such date under the Plan, the Liquidating Trustee shall establish a separate Disputed Reserve for Disputed General Unsecured Claims, which Disputed Reserve shall be administered by the Liquidating Trustee. The Liquidating Trustee shall reserve in Cash or other property, for Distribution on account of each Disputed General Unsecured Claim, the full amount distributable with respect to the asserted amount (or such lesser amount as may be estimated by the Court in accordance with Article VI.D hereof) with respect to each Disputed Claim.

2. Maintenance of Disputed Reserves

To the extent that the property placed in a Disputed Reserve consists of Cash, that Cash shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account. The property in the Disputed Reserves shall be held in trust for the benefit of the holders of Claims ultimately determined to be Allowed. Each Disputed Reserve shall be closed and extinguished by the Reorganized Debtors and/or the LNT Liquidating Trust when all Distributions and other dispositions of Cash or other property required to be made hereunder will have been made in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Upon closure of a Disputed Reserve, all Cash (including any investment yield on the Cash) or other property held in that Disputed Reserve shall revest in and become the property of the Reorganized Debtors or the LNT Liquidating Trust. All funds or other property that vest or revest in the LNT Liquidating Trust pursuant to this paragraph shall be (a) used to pay the fees and expenses of the LNT Liquidating Trust as and to the extent set forth in the Liquidating Trust Agreement, and (b) thereafter distributed on a Pro Rata basis to holders of Allowed Claims in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

C. Subsequent Distributions

Any Distribution that is not made on the Effective Date or the Initial Distribution Date or on any other date specified herein because the Claim that would have been entitled to receive that Distribution is not an Allowed Claim on such date, shall be held by the Reorganized Debtors and/or LNT Liquidating Trust in a Disputed Reserve pursuant to Article V.B and distributed (in full, in the case of Administrative Expense Claims, Priority Tax Claims, or Other Priority Claims; and up to its ratable proportion with respect to the Claims in Class 2 or Class 3) on the first Subsequent Distribution Date after such Claim is Allowed or, with respect to Administrative, Priority Tax and Other Priority Claims, at such earlier date as determined by the Reorganized Debtors and/or the Liquidating Trustee. No interest shall accrue or be paid on the unpaid amount of any distribution paid on a Subsequent Distribution Date in accordance with this Article V.C.

D. Record Date for Distributions

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

E. Delivery of Distributions

1. General Provisions; Undeliverable Distributions

Subject to Bankruptcy Rule 9010 and except as otherwise provided herein, Distributions to the holders of Allowed Claims shall be made by the Liquidating Trustee or by the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, at (a) the address of each holder as set forth in the Schedules, unless superseded by the address set forth on proofs of Claim filed by such holder or (b) the last known address of such holder if no proof of Claim is filed or if the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or Liquidating Trustee have been notified in writing of a change of address. If any Distribution is returned as undeliverable, the Liquidating Trustee and/or the Reorganized Debtors may, in their discretion, but are not obligated to, make such efforts to determine the current address of the holder of the Claim with respect to which the Distribution was made as the Liquidating Trustee and/or the Reorganized Debtors deem appropriate, but no Distribution to any holder shall be made unless and until the Liquidating Trustee and/or the Reorganized Debtors have determined the then-current address of the holder, at which time the Distribution to such holder shall be made to the holder without interest. Amounts in respect of any undeliverable Distributions made by the Liquidating Trustee or the Reorganized Debtors shall be returned to, and held in trust by, the Liquidating Trustee or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, until the Distributions are claimed or are deemed to be unclaimed property upon the expiration of three (3) months from the return of the undeliverable Distribution, as set forth below in Article V.E.4. The Liquidating Trustee and the Reorganized Debtors shall have the discretion to determine how to make Distributions in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible; provided, however, that its discretion may not be exercised in a manner inconsistent with any express requirements of the Plan or the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

2. Senior Notes Indenture Trustee as Claim Holder; Distributions to the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee

Consistent with Bankruptcy Rule 3003(c), the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors shall recognize the proofs of claim filed by the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee in respect of the Allowed Senior Notes Claim. Accordingly, any claim for principal or interest, proof of which is filed by the registered or beneficial holder of the Senior Notes asserting on account of a Senior Notes Claim shall be disallowed as duplicative of the Claim of the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee, without need for any further action or Bankruptcy Court order. The distributions to be made under the Plan to holders of Allowed Senior Notes Claims shall be made to the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee, and the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee shall, subject to the right of the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee to assert its Senior Notes Indenture Trustee Charging Lien against the Distributions (and the right of any Senior Noteholder to contest same), transmit the Distributions to the registered holders of the Senior Notes. To the extent that the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee provides services related to Distributions pursuant to the Plan, the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee shall receive from the Liquidating Trustee reasonable compensation for such services and reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such services subject to Article IV.K.4.

3. Minimum Distributions

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a distribution to be made to a holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim on the Initial Distribution Date or any subsequent date for such Distributions would be $50 or less, no such Distribution is required to be made to that holder.

4. Unclaimed Property

Except with respect to property not distributed because it is being held in a Disputed Reserve, Distributions that are not claimed by the expiration of six (6) months from the date the Distribution is made, will be deemed to be unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and shall vest or revest in the LNT Liquidating Trust, and the Claims with respect to which those Distributions are made shall be automatically cancelled. After the expiration of that six (6) month period, the claim of any Entity to those Distributions shall be discharged and forever barred. Nothing contained in the Plan shall require the Liquidating Trustee or the Reorganized Debtors to attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed Claim. All funds or other property that vests or revests in the LNT Liquidating Trust pursuant to this Article shall be distributed by the Liquidating Trustee to the other holders of Allowed Claims in accordance with the provisions of the Plan or the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

F. Surrender of Cancelled Instruments and Securities

1. Generally

Except as set forth in Article V.G hereof, as a condition precedent to receiving any Distribution hereunder on account of an Allowed Claim evidenced by instruments, securities or other documentation cancelled pursuant to Article IV.K hereof, the holder of such Claim shall tender such instrument, security or other documentation evidencing such Claim to the LNT Liquidating Trust (except as set forth in Article V.G hereof). Any Distributions pursuant to the Plan on account of any Claim evidenced by such instruments, securities or other documentation shall, pending such surrender, will be treated as an undeliverable Distribution in accordance with Article V.E hereof; provided, however, all notes, instruments and other securities issued under the DIP Facility shall be deemed terminated and cancelled upon the Effective Date to the extent not already surrendered and cancelled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Senior Noteholders shall not be required to surrender any notes, instruments, or other securities on account of Senior Notes Claims and the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee shall distribute, subject to the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee Charging Lien, to each Senior Noteholder such holder’s Pro Rata share of the Senior Noteholder Distribution.

2. Failure to Surrender Cancelled Instruments

If any holder of an Allowed Claim evidenced by instruments, securities or other documentation cancelled pursuant to Article IV.K hereof, fails to surrender such instrument, security or other documentation or comply with the provisions of Article V.F.1 hereof within one year after the Effective Date, its Claim for a Distribution under the Plan on account of such instrument, security, or other documentation shall be discharged, and such holder shall be forever barred from asserting such Claim against the Reorganized Debtors or the LNT Liquidating Trust or its property. In such case, any property held on account of such Claim shall be disposed of pursuant to the provisions set forth in Article V.E.4 hereof.

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

Any holder of an Allowed Claim evidenced by instruments, securities or other documentation cancelled pursuant to Article IV.K hereof that has been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, shall, in lieu of surrendering such instrument, security or documentation: deliver to the LNT Liquidating Trust or the Reorganized Debtors, as appropriate (i) an affidavit of loss reasonably satisfactory to the Liquidating Trustee (or in the case of the Senior Notes, the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee) setting forth the unavailability of such instrument, security, or other documentation and (ii) such additional security or indemnity as may reasonably be requested by the Liquidating Trustee to hold the LNT Liquidating Trust or the Reorganized Debtors, as appropriate, harmless from any damages, liabilities, or costs incurred in treating such Entity as a holder of an Allowed Claim.

H. Manner of Cash Payments Under the Plan or the Liquidating Trust Agreement

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

I. Time Bar to Cash Payments by Check

Checks issued by the Liquidating Trustee or the Reorganized Debtors on account of Allowed Claims shall be null and void if not negotiated within 90 days after the date of issuance thereof. Requests for the reissuance of any check that becomes null and void pursuant to this Article V.I. shall be made directly to the Liquidating Trustee by the holder of the Allowed Claim to whom the check was originally issued. Any Claim in respect of such voided check shall be made in writing on or before the later of the first anniversary of the Effective Date or the six (6) month anniversary of the date on which the Distribution was made. After that date, all Claims in respect of void checks shall be discharged and forever barred and the proceeds of those checks shall revest in and become the

property of the LNT Liquidating Trust as unclaimed property in accordance with section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and be distributed as provided in Article V.E.4.

J. Limitations on Funding of Disputed Reserves

Except as expressly set forth in the Plan, neither the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Plan Administrator, the LNT Liquidating Trust nor the Liquidating Trustee shall have any duty to fund the Disputed Reserves.

K. Compliance with Tax Requirements

In connection with making Distributions under this Plan, to the extent applicable, the Liquidating Trustee and the Reorganized Debtors shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on it by any governmental unit, and all Distributions pursuant to this Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. The Liquidating Trustee or the Reorganized Debtors may withhold the entire Distribution due to any holder of an Allowed Claim until such time as such holder provides the necessary information to comply with any withholding requirements of any governmental unit. Any property so withheld will then be paid by the LNT Liquidating Trust to the appropriate authority. If the holder of an Allowed Claim fails to provide the information necessary to comply with any withholding requirements of any governmental unit within six (6) months from the date of first notification to the holder of the need for such information or for the Cash necessary to comply with any applicable withholding requirements, then such holder’s Distribution shall be treated as an undeliverable Distribution in accordance with Article V.E.1 or the amount required to be withheld may be so withheld and turned over to the applicable authority.

L. No Payments of Fractional Dollars

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

M. Interest on Claims

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

N. No Distribution in Excess of Allowed Amount of Claim

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

O. Setoff and Recoupment

The Liquidating Trustee (except as necessary for prosecution of Defensive Causes of Action) or the Reorganized Debtors may, but shall not be required to, setoff against, or recoup from, any Claim and the Distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect thereof, any claims or defenses of any nature whatsoever that any of the Debtors, the Estates, the Reorganized Debtors or the Liquidating Trustee may have against the holder of such Claim, but neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim under the Plan shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors, the Estates, the Reorganized Debtors or the Liquidating Trustee of any right of setoff or recoupment that any of them may have against the holder of any Claim.

ARTICLE VI.

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED, CONTINGENT

AND UNLIQUIDATED CLAIMS OR EQUITY INTERESTS

A. No Distribution Pending Allowance

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors and the LNT Liquidating Trust shall not distribute any Cash or other property on account of any Disputed Claim unless and until such Claim becomes Allowed.

B. Resolution of Disputed Claims

Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court after notice and a hearing, the LNT Liquidating Trust shall have the right to the exclusion of all others (except as to the Retained Professionals’ applications for allowances of compensation and reimbursement of expenses under sections 330 and 503 of the Bankruptcy Code) to make, file, prosecute, settle, compromise, withdraw or resolve in any manner approved by the Bankruptcy Court, objections to General Unsecured Claims subject to the limitations of Article IX.C.1.b of this Plan, and upon dissolution of the Reorganized Debtors, the LNT Liquidating Trust shall also have the right, to the exclusion of all others, to make, file, prosecute, settle, compromise, withdraw or resolve in any manner approved by the Bankruptcy Court, objections to Other Secured, Administrative, Priority Tax and Other Priority Claims.

C. Objection Deadline

All objections to Disputed Claims shall be filed and served upon the holders of each such Claim by the Claims Objection Deadline, unless otherwise ordered by the Court after notice and a hearing.

D. Estimation of Claims

At any time, (a) prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors, and (b) subsequent to the Effective Date, the LNT Liquidating Trust and the Reorganized Debtors may request that the Court estimate any contingent or unliquidated Claim to the extent permitted by section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code regardless of whether the Debtors or the LNT Liquidating Trust have previously objected to such Claim or whether the Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Court shall have jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to such Claim, including during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. If the Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim, that estimated amount shall constitute either the Allowed amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on the Claim, as determined by the Court. If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on the Claim, the Debtors or the LNT Liquidating Trust, as applicable, may elect to pursue supplemental proceedings to object to the ultimate allowance of the Claim. All of the aforementioned Claims objection, estimation and resolution procedures are cumulative and not exclusive of one another. Claims may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Court.

E. Disallowance of Claims

Except as otherwise agreed, any and all proofs of Claim filed after the applicable Bar Date shall be deemed disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without any further notice or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and holders of such Claims may not receive any Distributions on account of such Claims, unless on or before the Confirmation Hearing the Bankruptcy Court has entered an order deeming such Claim to be timely filed.

F. Allowed Claims

Entry of the Confirmation Order shall deem, for all purposes in the Chapter 11 Cases, the Senior Notes Claims to be Allowed Senior Notes Claims in the amount of $669 million.

ARTICLE VII.

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

A. Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

The Plan shall constitute a motion to reject all executory contracts and unexpired leases unless set forth in the Plan Supplement, and the Debtors shall have no further liability thereunder. The entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of any such rejections pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and that the rejection thereof is in the best interest of the Debtors, their Estates and all parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases. For the avoidance of doubt, all compensation and benefits programs (other than the Administrative Services Agreement (Contract No. 707916) with United HealthCare Insurance Company, which the Debtors terminated effective as of December 31, 2008, but intend to satisfy all of their obligations thereunder, including their funding obligations, during the applicable run-out periods) and which shall be treated as executory contracts under the Plan and deemed rejected on the Effective Date.

B. Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases

Claims created by the rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases pursuant to Article VII.A of the Plan, or the expiration or termination of any executory contract or unexpired lease prior to the Effective Date, must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on the Debtors no later than thirty (30) days after the entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court. Any Claims arising from the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease pursuant to Article V.A for which proofs of Claim are not timely filed within that time period will be forever barred from assertion against the Debtors, the Estates, their successors and assigns, and their assets and properties, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court or as otherwise provided herein. All such Claims shall, as of the Effective Date, be subject to the discharge and permanent injunction set forth in Article IX.E. Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, all such Claims that are timely filed as provided herein shall be treated as General Unsecured Claims under the Plan and shall be subject to the provisions of Article III of the Plan.

ARTICLE VIII.

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE

A. Conditions Precedent to the Effective Date

The following are conditions precedent to the Effective Date that must be satisfied or waived:

1. The Confirmation Order has become a Final Order.

2. The Confirmation Order shall be in full force and effect.

3. On or before August 30, 2009 or such later date requested by the Debtors with the consent of the Senior Noteholders’ Committee and the Creditors’ Committee that is approved by the Court following notice and a hearing, the Debtors shall have sufficient Cash on hand to pay, in full, all Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims and Allowed Other Priority Claims.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors with the consent of the Senior Noteholders’ Committee and the Creditors Committee reserve the right to waive the occurrence of any condition precedent to the Effective Date (provided, however, that condition 3 above may only be waived following the entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court following notice and a hearing approving such waiver) or to modify any of the foregoing conditions precedent. Any such written waiver of a condition precedent set forth in this Article may be effected at any time, without notice, without leave or order of the Bankruptcy Court, and without any formal action other than proceeding to consummate the Plan. Any actions required to be taken on the Effective Date shall take place and shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously, and no such action shall be deemed to have occurred prior to the taking of

any other such action. If the Debtors fail to timely satisfy condition 3 above, the Confirmation Order shall be of no force or effect and the Plan shall be deemed withdrawn.

ARTICLE IX.

A. Global Compromise and Settlement

1. Pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9019, and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided pursuant to the Plan, including, inter alia, (i) the satisfaction of all Allowed Administrative, Priority Tax and Other Priority Claims from, at least in part, the collateral of the Senior Noteholders (including the Senior Noteholders’ Plan Contribution Amount), (ii) the funding of the Wind-Down Budget from proceeds of the Senior Noteholders’ collateral, (iii) the allowance of the Senior Notes Claims, (iv) the establishment of the LNT Liquidating Trust and the sharing of the Distributions from the LNT Liquidating Trust between the holders of Allowed Senior Notes Claims and the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims as provided for in the Plan (collectively, the “Global Compromise”), (v) the substantive consolidation of the Debtors’ estates as provided in the Plan, (vi) the dismissal of the Committee Motion with prejudice, (vii) the grant of releases as set forth herein, and (viii) the cancellation of all Intercompany Claims and the Equity Interests, the Plan shall constitute a good faith compromise of all Claims against, and Equity Interests in, the Debtors. The entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Global Compromise, as well as a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that such compromise or settlement is fair, equitable, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Debtors, Estates, and holders of Claims and Equity Interests. As further consideration for the Global Compromise and as part of the adequate protection provided to the Senior Noteholders, (a) all payments made prior to the Effective Date to professionals of the Senior Noteholders’ Committee pursuant to the Final DIP Order or otherwise shall be deemed approved and indefeasibly made without need for further application or notice, (b) all payments due and owing as of the Effective Date to professionals of the Senior Noteholders’ Committee, including, without limitation, all monthly advisory fees or transaction fees provided for in that certain engagement agreement with Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Capital, Inc., dated March 28, 2008 (which agreement shall be deemed approved by entry of the Confirmation Order) shall be deemed approved without need for further application or notice, and paid by the Reorganized Debtors on the Effective Date; and (c) all reasonable expenses incurred by former or present members of the Senior Noteholders’ Committee shall be reimbursed by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors without need for further application or notice.

3. Release by Senior Noteholders. As of the Effective Date, each Senior Noteholder to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, as such law may be extended or interpreted subsequent to the Effective Date, shall be deemed to forever release, waive and discharge all Claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action and liabilities, whether liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent,

matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, or then existing or thereafter arising in law, equity or otherwise, that are based in whole or in part on any act, omission, transaction or other occurrence taking place on or prior to the Effective Date in any way relating to the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee that such entity has, had or may have, against the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee and any of its respective present or former directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, attorneys, accountants, underwriters, investment bankers or financial advisors and any of their respective successors or assigns.

4. Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the releases set forth in this Article IX.A pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9019 and its finding that they are: (a) in exchange for good and valuable consideration, representing a good faith settlement and compromise of the Claims and Causes of Action thereby released; (b) in the best interests of the Debtors and all holder of Claims; (c) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (d) approved after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (e) a bar to any of the Debtors, the LNT Liquidating Trust, and the holders of Claims voting to accept the Plan, asserting any Claim or Cause of Action thereby released.

B. Exculpation

Subject to Article IX.F of this Plan, the Exculpated Parties shall neither have nor incur any liability to any Entity for any and all Claims, Causes of Action and any other debts, obligations, rights, suits, damages, actions, remedies, and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing as of the Effective Date or thereafter arising, in law, at equity, whether for tort, contract, violations of federal or state securities laws, or otherwise, based in whole or in part upon any act or omission, transaction, or other occurrence or circumstances taking place or arising from and after the Petition Date related in any way to the Debtors, including, without limitation, those that any of the Debtors would have been legally entitled to assert (whether individually or collectively) or that any holder of a Claim or Equity Interest or other Entity would have been legally entitled to assert for or on behalf of any of the Debtors or the Estates and further including those in any way related to the Liquidating Trust Agreement, Chapter 11 Cases, or the Plan, including any act taken or omitted to be taken in connection with, or related to, formulating, negotiating, preparing, disseminating, implementing, administering, confirming or consummating the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, DIP Facility, the Liquidating Trust Agreement or any other contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document created or entered into in connection with the Plan, Original Plan or any other postpetition act taken or omitted to be taken in connection with the Debtors; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Article IX.B shall have no effect on the liability of any Entity that results from any such act or omission that is determined in a Final Order to have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, further, however, that each Exculpated Party shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of counsel concerning its duties pursuant to, or in connection with, the above referenced documents.

C. Preservation of Causes of Action

1. Vesting of Causes of Action

(a) Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or Confirmation Order, in accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, (i) any and all Trust Claims and Avoidance Actions that the Debtors’ Estates may hold against any Person, together with proceeds of the foregoing, if any, are reserved for, assigned to, and shall become property of the LNT Liquidating Trust on the Effective Date, and (ii) any Defensive Causes of Action that the Debtors may hold against any Entity shall vest upon the Effective Date in the Reorganized Debtors.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, Confirmation Order or the Liquidating Trust Agreement, after the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trustee shall have the exclusive right to institute, prosecute, abandon, settle, or compromise any Trust Claims or Avoidance Actions, in its sole discretion and without further order of the Bankruptcy Court, in any court or other tribunal, including, without limitation, in an adversary proceeding filed in one or more of the Chapter 11 Cases; provided, however, no Cause of Action of $1,000,000 or more shall be settled or compromised by the Liquidating Trustee without Bankruptcy Court approval.

2. Preservation of All Causes of Action Not Expressly Settled or Released

(a) Unless a Cause of Action against any Entity is expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised or settled in the Plan or any Final Order (including the Confirmation Order), the Debtors expressly reserve such Cause of Action, including all (i) Trust Claims and Avoidance Actions to be transferred by the Debtors to the LNT Liquidating Trust pursuant to the Plan, for possible adjudication by the Liquidating Trustee or (ii) in the case of Defensive Causes of Action, the Reorganized Debtors, and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including, without limitation, the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, waiver, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise) or laches shall apply to such Causes of Action upon or after the entry of the Confirmation Order or Effective Date based on the Disclosure Statement, the Plan or the Confirmation Order, except with respect to clause (i) above where such Causes of Action have been released in the Plan (including as a result of Article IX.B) or any other Final Order (including the Confirmation Order). In addition, the Reorganized Debtors and the LNT Liquidating Trust reserve the right to pursue or adopt any claims alleged in any lawsuit in which the Debtors are a defendant or an interested party, against any Entity, including, without limitation, the plaintiffs or co-defendants in such lawsuits.

(b) Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, any Entity to whom the Debtors have incurred an obligation (whether on account of services, purchase or sale of goods or otherwise), or who has received services from the Debtors or a transfer of money or property of the Debtors, or who has transacted business with the Debtors, or leased equipment or property from the Debtors should assume that any such obligation, transfer, or transaction may be reviewed by the LNT Liquidating Trust or the Reorganized Debtors subsequent to the Effective Date and may be the subject of an action after the Effective Date, regardless of whether: (i) such Entity has filed a proof of claim against the Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases; (ii) the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or the LNT Liquidating Trust have objected to any such Entity’s proof of claim; (iii) any such Entity’s Claim was included in the Schedules; (iv) the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or the LNT Liquidating Trust have objected to any such Entity’s scheduled Claim; or (v) any such Entity’s scheduled Claim has been identified by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or the LNT Liquidating Trust as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated.

D. Releases of Liens

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, including Article II.B.2 of the Plan, or in any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document created pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, all mortgages, deeds of trust, liens, pledges or other security interests against property of the Estates other than the mortgages, deeds of trust, liens, pledges and other security interests of the Senior Notes Indenture Trustee and Senior Noteholders on the Remaining Senior Noteholders’ Collateral (which shall be deemed validly filed and duly perfected) shall be fully released and discharged and all of the right, title and interest of any holder of such mortgages, deeds of trust, liens, pledges or other security interest shall revert to the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and the LNT Liquidating Trust.

E. Injunction

1. From and after the Effective Date, all Entities are permanently enjoined from commencing or continuing in any manner against the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, the LNT Liquidating Trust or the Liquidating Trustee, their successors and assigns, and their assets and properties, as the case may be, any suit, action or other proceeding, on account of or respecting any Claim, demand, liability, obligation, debt, right, Cause of Action, interest or remedy released or to be released pursuant to the Plan or the Confirmation Order.

2.
