FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW REGARDING CONFIRMATION OF DEBTOR LANDMARK HOLDINGS, L.P.'S FIRST AMENDED PLAN OF REORGANIZATION, AS MODIFIED

Came on to be considered on the 2nd day of February, 2016, the confirmation hearing (the "Confirmation Hearing") with regard to Debtor Landmark Holdings, L.P.'s First Amended Plan of Reorganization [Docket No. 88] (the "First Amended Plan") filed by Landmark Holdings, L.P. ("Debtor") in the instant bankruptcy case on December 21, 2015, as modified by the First Modifications to Debtor Landmark Holdings, L.P.'s First Amended Plan of Reorganization [Docket No. 99] (the "First Plan Modifications") filed on January 27, 2016 and approved by this Court by separate order such that the First Amended Plan includes and incorporates the First Plan Modifications and shows the effect of the election of Counsel Financial Services, LLC ("Counsel Financial") and its acceptance of the compromise with the Debtor as detailed therein as well as the minor revisions to I.M. Medlin's treatment in Section 3.08, (collectively the "Final Plan") (an integrated version of which is Exhibit "A" to the Confirmation Order). During the Confirmation Hearing, the Court considered the withdrawal of the objection raised by IM Medlin, LLC ("IM Medlin"), the changing of its vote to a vote in favor of the Final Plan, the evidence presented and the argument of counsel. The following Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law are entered pursuant to Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure 9052 and 9014 in support of the confirmation of the Final Plan. Such findings may be characterized as conclusions or conclusions as findings, where appropriate.

4. Good Faith — Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(3). The Final Plan has been proposed in good faith under Section 1129(a)(3) by the Debtor and not by any means forbidden by law and the Debtor and its counsel are entitled to the protections of Section 1125(e).

5. Payments — Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(4). Payments made or to be made by the Debtor for services or for costs and expenses in or in connection with the Final Plan or case have been approved by or are subject to the approval of this Court.

6. Disclosures — Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(5). The Debtor has disclosed the identity and affiliations of the people who will serve as the officers and directors (or equivalents) of the Reorganized Debtor ("RD") post-confirmation as well as the nature of their compensation.

7. No Rate Change Jurisdiction — Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(6). No governmentally regulated rates are involved in these cases.

8. Best Interests of Creditors — Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(7). With respect to the impaired classes of claims or interests, all holders of a claim or interest of such classes has accepted the Final Plan or will receive or retain under the Final Plan on account of such claim or interest in property of a value, as of the Effective Date of the Plan, that is not less than the amount that such holder would receive or retain if the Debtor was liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on such date.
