HARLIN DeWAYNE HALE, Bankruptcy Judge.

PHI, Inc. and its affiliated debtors and debtors in possession (collectively, the "Debtors"), having:

And the Bankruptcy Court having:

NOW, THEREFORE, the Bankruptcy Court having found that notice of the Confirmation Hearing and the opportunity for any party affected by the Plan and the transactions contemplated thereby to object to Confirmation having been adequate and appropriate; and the record of these Chapter 11 Cases and the legal and factual bases set forth in the documents filed in support of Confirmation and presented at the Confirmation Hearing including, but not limited to, statements of counsel and all other testimony and other evidence proffered, adduced, admitted into evidence and presented at the Confirmation Hearing, establish just cause for the relief granted in this Confirmation Order; and after due deliberation thereon and good cause appearing therefor, the Bankruptcy Court hereby makes and issues the following findings of fact, conclusions of law and order:

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED, FOUND, ADJUDGED, DECREED AND ORDERED THAT:

A. Findings and Conclusions. The determinations, findings, judgments, decrees, orders and conclusions set forth in this Confirmation Order and in the record of the Confirmation Hearing constitute the Bankruptcy Court's findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 7052, made applicable to this proceeding pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9014. To the extent any of the following findings of fact constitute conclusions of law, they are adopted as such. To the extent any of the following conclusions of law constitute findings of fact, they are adopted as such.

B. Judicial Notice. The Bankruptcy Court takes judicial notice of the docket in these Chapter 11 Cases maintained by the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court, including, without limitation, all pleadings and other documents filed, all orders entered, and evidence and arguments made, proffered, and adduced at the hearings held before the Bankruptcy Court during the pendency of these Chapter 11 Cases.

JURISDICTION AND VENUE

C. Exclusive Jurisdiction; Venue; Core Proceeding. The Bankruptcy Court has jurisdiction over these Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334. Venue in the Bankruptcy Court is proper under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. The confirmation of the Plan constitutes a core proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2) upon which the Bankruptcy Court may issue a final order, and confirmation of a plan by the Bankruptcy Court is a constitutional exercise of the jurisdiction conferred by Congress on the Bankruptcy Court. The Bankruptcy Court has exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether the Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and should be confirmed.

D. Retention of Jurisdiction. The Bankruptcy Court finds and concludes that the Bankruptcy Court's retention of jurisdiction as set forth in Article X of the Plan is consistent with 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334.

Notice, Solicitation and Acceptance

E. Adequate Notice of Confirmation Hearing. In accordance with Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 3019 and 9019, the Disclosure Statement Order, the Disclosure Statement, and various notices filed on the docket relating to the scheduling of the Confirmation Hearing (including, without limitation, Docket No. 727 & 832), the Bankruptcy Court finds and concludes that (a) proper, timely and adequate notice of the time for filing objections to the Plan was provided, and (b) proper, timely and adequate notice of the Confirmation Hearing was provided to all Holders of Claims and Equity Interests. No other or further notice of the Confirmation Hearing is necessary or required.

F. Good Faith Solicitation (11 U.S.C. § 1125(e)). The evidence proffered or adduced at, or prior to, the Confirmation Hearing (i) is reasonable, persuasive and credible, (ii) utilizes reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions, (iii) has not been controverted by other evidence, (iv) establishes that the Debtors and each of their respective Related Persons have furnished adequate information and solicited acceptances or rejections of the Plan in good faith and in full compliance with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including without limitation, sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and any applicable non-bankruptcy law, rule or regulation governing the adequacy of disclosure in connection with such solicitation and (v) establishes that the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and each of their respective Related Persons will, as applicable, continue to act in good faith if they consummate the Plan and the agreements, settlements, transactions and transfers contemplated thereby, and take all other actions authorized by this Confirmation Order. Accordingly, each of the foregoing Persons is entitled to and, pursuant to this Confirmation Order, granted the full protections afforded by section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.

G. Voting Report. On July 26, 2019, the Debtors filed the Voting Report certifying the method and results of Ballot tabulation for each of the Classes entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. All procedures used to tabulate the Ballots were fair and conducted in accordance with the Disclosure Statement Order, the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and all other applicable rules, laws and regulations.

H. Plan Supplement. On July 23, 2019, the Debtors filed the Plan Supplement [Docket No. 831], as further amended by Docket No. 866, which included (i) the Minimum Cash Commitment Agreement; (ii) the terms of the New Secured Financing; (iii) the Plan Equity Value; (iv) the form of New Warrants; (v) the form of Old Equity Settlement Warrants; (vi) the initial percentage of the Management Incentive Plan allocable to the MIP Participants; (vii) a list of certain members of the New Board; (viii) the schedule of assumed contracts and each applicable Cure Claim Amount; and (ix) a description of the retained Causes of Action. All such materials comply with the Plan, and the filing and notice of such documents is good and proper in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and all other applicable rules, laws and regulations, and no other or further notice is or shall be required.

I. Burden of Proof. The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have met their burden of proving the satisfaction of the requirements of sections 1129(a) and (b) of the Bankruptcy Code by a preponderance of the evidence, which is the applicable evidentiary standard. Further, each witness whose testimony was proffered or adduced on behalf of the Debtors at or in connection with the Confirmation Hearing was credible, reliable and qualified to testify as to the topics addressed in his or her testimony.

J. Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a). In accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a), the Plan is dated and identifies the Debtors as the proponents of the Plan.

Compliance with Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code

K. Plan Compliance with 11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(1). In accordance with Section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Court finds and concludes that the Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

L. Debtors' Compliance with the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §1129(a)(2)). The Debtors have complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(2). Specifically, the Debtors are proper debtors under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code, and the Debtors have complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and the Disclosure Statement Order in transmitting the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Ballots and all related documents and notices, and in soliciting and tabulating votes on the Plan.

M. Plan Proposed in Good Faith (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(3)). The Debtors engaged in extensive, arms' length and good faith negotiations with their key constituencies which culminated in the Settlements. Ultimately, the terms of the Settlements were incorporated into the Plan and, therefore, the Bankruptcy Court finds and concludes that the Debtors have proposed the Plan (including the Plan Supplement and all other agreements, documents and instruments necessary to effectuate the Plan) in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law, and the Debtors have acted, and are presently acting, in good faith in conjunction with all aspects of the Plan, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. All transactions contemplated by the Plan were negotiated and consummated at arms' length, without collusion, and in good faith. In determining that the Plan has been proposed in good faith, the Bankruptcy Court has examined the facts and records of these Chapter 11 Cases and the totality of the circumstances surrounding the formulation of the Settlement Stipulation and the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation, the Plan, the solicitation of the Plan, the Disclosure Statement and the hearings thereon and the record of the Confirmation Hearing and other proceedings held in these Chapter 11 Cases. Consistent with the overriding purpose of the Bankruptcy Code, the Chapter 11 Cases were filed, and the Plan was proposed, with the legitimate and honest purpose of reorganizing the Debtors and maximizing the value of the Debtors' assets.

N. Payment for Services or Costs and Expenses (11 U.S.C. 1129(a)(4)). The Bankruptcy Court finds and concludes that all payments made or to be made by the Debtors for services or for costs and expenses in connection with these Chapter 11 Cases requiring approval, have been approved by, or are subject to the approval of, the Bankruptcy Court as reasonable, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Bankruptcy Court retains jurisdiction to hear and determine all applications for Accrued Professional Compensation Claims incurred on or before the Effective Date.

0. Disclosure and Identity of Proposed Management (11 U.S.C. 1129(a)(5)). The Debtors have complied with section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan provides that, from and after the Effective Date, the board of directors of the ultimate parent of the Reorganized Debtors shall consist of those individuals listed on the New Board List, which constitutes adequate disclosure of such information. Further, on the Effective Date, the officers of the Reorganized Debtors shall be substantially the same as existed prior to the Effective Date, other than (i) on the Effective Date, Mr. Al A. Gonsoulin shall retire from his positions as Chief Executive Officer and chairman of the board of PHI, Inc., and (ii) Mr. Lance Bospflug, who shall be the Reorganized Debtors' Chief Executive Officer, subject to the ordinary rights and powers of the New Board to remove or replace such officers in accordance with the Reorganized Debtors' organizational documents, any applicable employment agreements entered into following the Effective Date, and applicable law.

P. No Rate Changes (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(6)). The Plan does not provide for any rate change that requires regulatory approval. Thus, section 1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code is not applicable to these Chapter 11 Cases.

Q. Best Interests of Creditors (11 U.S.C. 1129(a)(7)). The Bankruptcy Court finds and concludes that the Plan satisfies section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code. The liquidation analysis set forth in Exhibit E of the Disclosure Statement and other evidence proffered or adduced at the Confirmation Hearing (a) are reasonable, persuasive and credible; (b) utilize reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions; (c) have not been controverted by other evidence; and (d) establish that each Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest in an Impaired Class either (i) has accepted the Plan or (ii) will receive or retain under the Plan, on account of such Claim or Equity Interest, property of a value, as of the Effective Date of the Plan, that is not less than the amount that it would receive if the Debtors were liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on such date.

R. Acceptance or Rejection of Certain Classes (11 U.S.C. 1129(a)(8)). The Bankruptcy Court finds and concludes, based on the Voting Report, that:

All procedures used to tabulate the Ballots were fair, reasonable, and conducted in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and the Disclosure Statement Order. Accordingly, under the requirements of section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Court finds that the Plan is confirmable.

S. Treatment of Administrative and Priority Claims (11 U.S.C. 1129(a)(9)). The Bankruptcy Court finds and concludes that the Plan's treatment of Administrative Claims (including but not limited to Accrued Professional Compensation Claims and Priority Tax Claims) pursuant to Article II of the Plan, satisfies the requirements set forth in sections 1129(a)(9)(A), (C), and (D) of the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable. The treatment of Other Priority Claims pursuant to Article II.D of the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(9)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors have sufficient Cash to pay Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims, and Allowed Other Priority Claims.

T. Acceptance by at Least One Impaired Class (11 U.S.C. 1129(a)(10)). The Bankruptcy Court finds and concludes that Class 4 (Aircraft Lessor Claims), Class 5 (General Unsecured Claims), Class 6 (Convenience Claims), Class 8 (Subordinated Claims) and Class 10 (Existing PHI Interests) voted to accept the Plan by the requisite majorities, determined without including acceptances of the Plan by any insider. Accordingly, the requirements of section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code have been satisfied.

U. Feasibility (11 U.S.C. 1129(a)(11)). Because the Plan is sufficiently funded from, among other things, the Minimum Cash Commitment, the New Secured Financing, and the Debtors' Cash on hand, and because the Professional Fee Escrow Account will be funded with Cash equal to the Professional Fee Reserve Amount on the Effective Date, the evidence proffered or adduced at the Confirmation Hearing with respect to feasibility including the Confirmation Brief, (i) is reasonable, persuasive and credible, (ii) utilizes reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions, (iii) has not been controverted by other evidence, and (iv) establishes that the Plan is feasible and that there is a reasonable prospect of the Debtors being able to meet their financial obligations under the Plan and that Confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the need for further financial reorganization of the Reorganized Debtors or any successor to the Reorganized Debtors, thereby satisfying the requirements of section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code.

V. Payment of Statutory Fees (11 U.S.C. 1129(a)(12)). All fees due and payable pursuant to section 1930 of Title 28 of the U.S. Code prior to the Effective Date shall be paid by the Debtors. On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall pay any and all such fees when due and payable, and shall file with the Bankruptcy Court quarterly reports in a form reasonably acceptable to the United States Trustee. Except as provided in the Plan, each Debtor shall remain obligated to pay quarterly fees to the United States Trustee until the earliest of that particular Debtor's case being closed, dismissed, or converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Bankruptcy Court finds and concludes that fees payable under 28 U.S.C. § 1930 have been paid or will be paid by the Debtors pursuant to Article XII.D of the Plan, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code.

W. No Retiree Benefits (11 U.S.C. 1129(a)(13)). The Debtors do not have obligations to pay retiree benefits and, therefore, section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable.

X. Non-Applicability of Certain Sections (11 U.S.C. §§ 1129(a)(14), (15), and (16)). The Debtors do not owe any domestic support obligations, are not individuals, and are not nonprofit corporations, and thus sections 1129(a)(14), 1129(a)(15) and 1129(a)(16) of the Bankruptcy Code do not apply to the Chapter 11 Cases.

Y. No Unfair Discrimination; Fair and Equitable (11 U.S.C. 1129(b)). Class 7 (Intercompany Claims) is deemed to have rejected the Plan. Accordingly, the Plan is being confirmed under section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan does not discriminate unfairly and is fair and equitable with respect to these two Classes, as required by sections 1129(b)(1) and (b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Z. Only One Plan (11 U.S.C. 1129(c)). Other than the Plan (including previous versions thereof), no other plan has been filed for the Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases, and the Plan thereby satisfies the requirements of section 1129(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.

AA. Principal Purpose of Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1129(d)). The Bankruptcy Court finds and concludes that the principal purpose of the Plan is not the avoidance of taxes or the avoidance of the application of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. § 77e).

BB. Small Business Case (11 U.S.C. § 1129(e)). None of these Chapter 11 Cases is a "small business case," as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code, and, accordingly, section 1129(e) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable.

CC. Satisfaction of Confirmation Requirements. Based on the foregoing, all other pleadings, documents, exhibits, statements, declarations, and affidavits filed in connection with Confirmation of the Plan and all evidence and arguments made, proffered or adduced at the Confirmation Hearing, the Plan satisfies the requirements for confirmation set forth in section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.

DD. Substantive Consolidation. The Plan serves as, and is deemed to be, a motion for entry of an order substantively consolidating the Chapter 11 Cases for the limited purposes set forth in the Plan. Based upon the evidence adduced and admitted and arguments made in the Confirmation Brief and the statements made at the Confirmation Hearing and the record of these Chapter 11 Cases, substantive consolidation of the Debtors' Estates as provided for in the Plan under Article IV.A is appropriate.

EE. Implementation of Other Necessary Documents and Agreements. All documents and agreements necessary or advisable to implement or carry out the Plan, including but not limited to the Settlements and the other documents contained in the Plan Supplement, are essential elements of the Plan and entry into and consummation of the transactions contemplated by each such document and agreement is in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates and holders of Claims and Equity Interests, and shall, upon completion of documentation and execution and delivery, be valid, binding, and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms and conditions. The Debtors have exercised reasonable business judgment in determining which documents and agreements to enter into and have provided sufficient and adequate notice of such documents and agreements. The terms and conditions of such documents and agreements have been negotiated in good faith, at arm's length, are fair and reasonable and are reaffirmed and approved, subject to the consent rights under the Plan. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, are authorized, without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, to finalize, execute and deliver all agreements, documents, instruments and certificates relating thereto and perform their obligations thereunder in accordance with the Plan.

FF. Plan Supplement. The materials contained in the Plan Supplement comply with the terms of the Plan, subject to the consent rights under the Plan, and the filing and notice of such documents and the transactions contemplated therein was good and proper in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules and the Local Rules, and no other or further notice is or shall be required. The Debtors are authorized to modify any of the documents contained in the Plan Supplement in accordance with the Plan through and including the Effective Date, subject to any consent rights in the Settlements. All documents included in the Plan Supplement, except certain disclosures therein related to the Management Incentive Plan, which were included in the Plan Supplement for disclosure purposes only in accordance with section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, are integral to, part of, and incorporated by reference into the Plan. To the extent that any modifications to the Plan Supplement are determined to be modifications to the Plan, in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3019, any such modifications do not (i) constitute material modifications of the Plan under section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) require additional disclosure under section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code, (iii) cause the Plan to fail to meet the requirements of sections 1122 or 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, (iv) materially and adversely change the treatment of any Claims or Equity Interests, (v) require re-solicitation of any holders of Claims or Equity Interests, or (vi) require that any such holders be afforded an opportunity to change previously cast acceptances or rejections of the Plan. In accordance with section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019, all holders of Claims or Equity Interests who voted to accept the Plan or who are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan are deemed to have accepted the Plan to the extent modified by the Plan Supplement, and no holder of a Claim or Equity Interest that has voted to accept the Plan shall be permitted to change its acceptance to a rejection as a consequence thereof.

GG. Plan Provisions Valid and Binding. The Bankruptcy Court finds and concludes that, upon entry of this Confirmation Order, each term and provision of the Plan is valid, binding, and enforceable pursuant to its terms.

HH. Plan Documents Valid and Binding. The Bankruptcy Court finds and concludes that any and all documents necessary to implement the Plan, including those contained in the Plan Supplement (subject to any consent rights under the Plan), have been negotiated in good faith and at arms' length, and shall be, upon completion of documentation and execution and delivery, valid, binding, and enforceable agreements and not be in conflict with any federal or state law.

II. Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. The Debtors have exercised their reasonable business judgment in determining whether to assume or reject executory contracts and unexpired leases pursuant to Article V of the Plan. Each assumption, assumption and assignment, and rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease pursuant to Article V of the Plan shall be legal, valid and binding to the same extent as if such assumption, assumption and assignment, or rejection, as applicable, had been effectuated pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code entered before entry of this Confirmation Order. Moreover, the Debtors have cured, or provided adequate assurance that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors will cure defaults (if any) under or relating to each of the executory contracts and unexpired leases that are being assumed by the Reorganized Debtors pursuant to the Plan.

JJ. Retention of Jurisdiction. After the Effective Date, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction over the matters arising in, under, and related to, the Chapter 11 Cases, as set forth in Article X of the Plan.

KK. Additional Findings Regarding the Settlements. The Plan constitutes a motion for approval of the Settlements under Bankruptcy Rule 9019. The evidence adduced at the Confirmation Hearing and the record in these Chapter 11 Cases establishes that the complexity and global nature of the Debtors' Chapter 11 Cases necessitated a consensual exit strategy. The Debtors, their directors and officers, and their Special Restructuring Committee, comprised of four independent directors, worked diligently and in good faith with their key stakeholders to formulate, negotiate, and support a process that was fair and equitable to all parties in interest. Due, in part, to the potential for complex and extensive litigation on multiple fronts, including with respect to (i) the treatment and allowance of the Thirty Two Claim and the Blue Torch Claim, and the validity, extent, and priority of liens securing each of them; (ii) the allocation of distributable value among the creditor classes; (iii) the Total Enterprise Value and the Plan Equity Value; and (iv) potential termination of the Debtors' exclusive period to file a plan under section 1121 of the Bankruptcy Code; and (v) the scope of proposed releases and exculpation under the Plan, the Debtors and certain key constituencies participated in a mediation under the supervision of the Honorable David R. Jones, which ultimately led to the Settlements. The litigation of any one of the foregoing issues would have been costly and time consuming, while the outcome would be uncertain, thereby reducing the Debtors' liquidity and value otherwise available for creditor recoveries. All parties to each of the Settlements have provided significant consideration thereunder, each as more fully set forth in the Settlements and the Plan, which include, without limitation: (a) agreements by Thirty Two regarding the treatment of the Thirty Two Claim; (b) waiver by Mr. Al A. Gonsoulin of any entitlement to Old Equity Settlement Warrants; (c) agreement by Mr. Al A. Gonsoulin regarding retiring as the Debtors' Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board as of the Effective Date; (d) agreement by all parties regarding the raising of debt and equity financing in the form of the Minimum Cash Commitment Exchange and the New Secured Financing; (e) agreement regarding the corporate governance and board composition of the Reorganized Debtors; (f) agreements regarding employment agreement and Management Incentive Plan provisions for the Reorganized Debtors' management team; (f) broad release and exculpation provisions; (g) concessions by and among the Debtors, Thirty Two, Blue Torch and the Creditors' Committee regarding use of cash collateral; (h) modifications to the scope of Houlihan Lokey's retention and reduction of fees payable to Houlihan Lokey in connection with services rendered to the Debtors; and (i) settlement by the Equity Committee resulting in the issuance of Old Equity Settlement Warrants and agreement by Mr. Gonsoulin to waive any entitlement thereto, all of which has benefited the Debtors and led to the Confirmation. Each component of the Settlements is an integral, integrated, and inextricably linked part of the Plan that is not severable from the entirety of the global settlement underlying the Plan. The Plan incorporates the terms of the Settlements, including the releases provided pursuant to Article IX.B of the Plan, which (a) represent a sound exercise of the Debtors' business judgment; (b) were negotiated in good faith and at arms' length; (c) constitute an essential part of the Plan; (d) were granted in exchange for good and valuable consideration; (e) constitute a good faith settlement and compromise of the Claims released thereby; (f) are in the best interest of the Debtors, their Estates and all Holders of Claims and Equity Interests; (g) are fair, equitable, and reasonable under the circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases; and (h) were given after due notice and opportunity for hearing. The Settlements, and the treatment of certain Claims and Equity Interests thereunder, are the culmination of extensive negotiations among the Debtors' key stakeholders. The Debtors have met their burden of proving that the Settlements, and the treatment of Claims and Equity Interests as provided therein, are fair, equitable, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Debtors, the Debtors' Estates and stakeholders in satisfaction of Bankruptcy Rule 9019.

LL. Minimum Cash Commitment Agreement. The Minimum Cash Commitment Agreement was executed and delivered on July 11, 2019, and provides for the Commitment Parties to commit to purchase up to $75 million of New Common Stock at a 25% discount to the Plan Equity Value. In exchange for this commitment, the Initial Commitment Parties shall also receive a Minimum Cash Commitment Premium equal to 20% of their commitment, payable in New Common Stock. This opportunity was available to all holders of General Unsecured Claims, all of whom have received adequate notice that they may elect to join the Minimum Cash Commitment Agreement as Initial Commitment Parties before June 17, 2019 or, as subsequent Commitment Parties before July 19, 2019 and purchase their ratable portions of New Common Stock at a 25% discount to the Plan Equity Value, with the commitments of the Initial Commitment Parties ratably reduced.

MM. Reasonableness of Minimum Cash Commitment Agreement. The Minimum Cash Commitment Agreement was negotiated in good faith and at arms' length among the parties thereto, and the terms and provisions of the Equity Commitment Agreement are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances.

NN. Additional Findings Regarding the Injunction. The injunction provisions set forth in Article IX.G of the Plan are essential to the Plan and are necessary to preserve and enforce the releases and exculpations provided for in the Plan and herein and are appropriately tailored to achieve those purposes.

00. Objections. All parties have had a full and fair opportunity to litigate all issues raised, or which might have been raised, in connection with the Confirmation of the Plan and any and all objections to Confirmation have been fully and fairly litigated.

PP. Best Interests. The Bankruptcy Court finds that Confirmation of the Plan is in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, Holders of Claims and Equity Interests, and all other parties in interest.

ORDER

Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED AS FOLLOWS:

1. Confirmation of the Plan. All requirements for Confirmation of the Plan have been satisfied. The Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, is approved and confirmed in its entirety under section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. Each of the terms and conditions of the Plan and the exhibits and schedules thereto, as modified herein, including, without limitation, the documents contained in the Plan Supplement, is an integral part of the Plan and they are hereby approved. The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the Local Rules.

2. Notice of the Confirmation Hearing. Notice of the Confirmation Hearing complied with the terms of the Disclosure Statement Order, was appropriate and satisfactory based upon the circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases, and was in compliance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the Local Rules.

3. Solicitation. The solicitation of votes on the Plan was done in good faith, based upon adequate information, complied with the Disclosure Statement Order, was appropriate and satisfactory based upon the circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases, and was in compliance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and applicable non-bankruptcy law.

4. Ballots. The forms of Ballots are in compliance with Bankruptcy Rule 3018(c), the Disclosure Statement Order, the Bankruptcy Code and the Local Rules.

5. Objections. All Objections to Confirmation of the Plan that have not been withdrawn, waived, or settled and all reservations of rights included therein, have been adjudicated as set forth on the record at the Confirmation Hearing, and all withdrawn objections are deemed withdrawn with prejudice.

6. Provisions of Plan Nonseverable and Mutually Dependent. The provisions of the Plan and this Confirmation Order, including the findings of fact and conclusions of law set forth herein, are (i) non-severable and mutually dependent; (ii) valid and enforceable pursuant to their terms; and (iii) integral to the Plan and this Confirmation Order, respectively, and may not be deleted or modified except in accordance with Article XI.A of the Plan.

7. Plan Classification Controlling. The classification of Claims and Equity Interests for purposes of the distributions to be made under the Plan shall be governed solely by the terms of the Plan. The classifications set forth on the Ballots tendered to or returned by the Debtors' creditors in connection with voting on the Plan (a) were set forth on the Ballots solely for purposes of voting to accept or reject the Plan, (b) do not necessarily represent, and in no event shall be deemed to modify or otherwise affect, the actual classification of such Claims or Equity Interests under the Plan for distribution purposes, (c) may not be relied upon by any creditor or interest holder as representing the actual classification of such Claims or Equity Interests under the Plan for distribution or any other purpose (other than for evidencing the vote of such party on the Plan), and (d) shall not be binding on the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or holders of Claims or Equity Interests for purposes other than voting on the Plan.

8. Settlement of Claims and Controversies. Pursuant to section 1123(b)(3)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the Distributions and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all Claims and controversies relating to the rights that a holder of a Claim or Equity Interest may have with respect to such Claim or Equity Interest or any Distribution on account thereof, including without limitation, (i) the treatment, validity, extent, priority of liens and allowance of the Thirty Two Claim and the Blue Torch Claim; (ii) the allocation of distributable value among the creditor classes; (iii) the Total Enterprise Value and Plan Equity Value; (iv) potential termination of the Debtors' exclusive period to file a plan under section 1121 of the Bankruptcy Code; and (v) the scope of all applicable release, exculpation and injunction provision.

9. Effect of the Plan. The entry of this Order constitutes approval of the global settlement embodied by the Plan, including the Settlements, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. In the event that, for any reason, the Effective Date does not occur, the various parties to each of the Settlements reserve all of their respective rights with respect to any and all disputes resolved and settled thereunder and under the Plan. The entry of this Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court's approval, as of the Effective Date, of each of the compromises and settlements embodied in the Plan, including the treatment of creditors and interest holders under the Plan, the scope of the release, exculpation and injunction provisions, and the Bankruptcy Court's finding that all such compromises or settlements are: (i) in the best interest of the Debtors, the Estates, the Reorganized Debtors, and their respective property and stakeholders; and (ii) fair, equitable and within the range of reasonableness.

The Debtors' rights under each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease assumed (or assumed and assigned) pursuant to the Plan shall revest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor or the applicable assignee (as applicable) in accordance with its terms and conditions, except as modified by the provisions of the Plan or applicable law.

In the event of a dispute regarding (a) any Cure Claim Amount, (b) the ability of any Reorganized Debtor or assignee to provide "adequate assurance of future performance" (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed, or assumed and assigned or (c) any other matter pertaining to assumption or assignment, the applicable Cure Claim Amount required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be paid following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving such assumption, or assumption and assignment. If such objection is sustained by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors may reject such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease in lieu of assuming it. The Debtors (with the consent of the Creditors' Committee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall be authorized to effect such rejection by filing a written notice of rejection with the Bankruptcy Court and serving such notice on the applicable counterparty within thirty (30) days of the entry of such Final Order.

30. Full Release and Satisfaction of Claims. Subject to the payment of the applicable Cure Claim Amount, if any, assumption or assumption and assignment of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan shall result in the full irrevocable and perpetual release and satisfaction of any Claims or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, under such assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time prior to the effective date of assumption or assumption and assignment, in each case as provided in section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall not constitute a termination of any preexisting obligations owed to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, under any such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases. All Proofs of Claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, pursuant to the Plan, if any, must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court within thirty (30) days after service and shall constitute General Unsecured Claims. Any Entity that is required to file a Proof of Claim arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract or an Unexpired Lease that fails to timely do so shall be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from asserting such Claim, and such Claim shall not be enforceable, against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Estates, or their respective properties, and the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and their Estates shall be forever discharged from any and all indebtedness and liability with respect to such Claim unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. All such Claims shall, as of the Effective Date, be subject to the permanent injunction set forth in Article IX.G of the Plan.

32. Exemption From Transfer Taxes Pursuant to Section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Under section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any issuance, transfer, or exchange of a security, or the making or delivery of an instrument of transfer of property, under or in connection with the Plan or the Restructuring Documents (to the extent consummated substantially in connection with the Plan), shall not be subject to any Stamp or Similar Tax or governmental assessment, and the Confirmation Order shall direct the appropriate federal, state or local (domestic or foreign) governmental officials or agents to forgo the collection of any such Stamp or Similar Tax or governmental assessment. Such exemption specifically applies, without limitation, to (i) all actions, agreements and documents necessary to evidence and implement the provisions of, transactions contemplated by and the distributions to be made under the Plan or the Restructuring Documents, (ii) the issuance and distribution of the New Equity Securities, and (iii) the maintenance or creation of any security interests or Liens as contemplated by the Plan or the Restructuring Documents.

33. General Administrative Claims. Except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed General Administrative Claim and the applicable Debtor before the Effective Date or the applicable Reorganized Debtor after the Effective Date agree to less favorable treatment, each Holder of an Allowed General Administrative Claim will be paid the full unpaid amount of such Allowed General Administrative Claim in Cash: (a) if such Allowed General Administrative Claim is based on liabilities that the Debtors incurred in the ordinary course of business after the Petition Date, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the particular transaction giving rise to such Allowed General Administrative Claim and without any further action by any Holder of such Allowed General Administrative Claim; (b) if such Allowed General Administrative Claim is due, on the Effective Date, or, if such Allowed General Administrative Claim is not due as of the Effective Date, on the date that such Allowed General Administrative Claim becomes due or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter; (c) if a General Administrative Claim is not Allowed as of the Effective Date, on the date that is no later than sixty (60) days after the date on which an order allowing such General Administrative Claim becomes a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter; or (d) at such time and upon such terms as set forth in a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court.

An Administrative Claims Request shall be considered timely-filed only when actually received by the Debtors' claim agent, Prime Clerk LLC, by U.S. Mail or other hand delivery system at the following address:

Holders of Administrative Claims that are required to File and serve an Administrative Claims Request that do not File and serve such a request by the Administrative Claims Bar Date shall be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from asserting such Administrative Claims against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and their respective Estates and properties, and such Administrative Claims shall be deemed discharged as of the Effective Date.

To the extent that funds held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account are unable to satisfy the amount of Accrued Professional Compensation Claims owed to the Retained Professionals, such Retained Professionals shall have an Allowed Administrative Claim for any such deficiency, which shall be satisfied in accordance with Article II.A.1 of the Plan. After all Allowed Accrued Professional Compensation Claims have been paid in full, any excess amounts remaining in the Professional Fee Escrow Account shall be returned to the Reorganized Debtors.

36. Service of Final Fee Applications. All final requests for Accrued Professional Compensation Claims shall be served upon the following parties (collectively, the "Notice Parties"):

Each Holder of an Allowed Accrued Professional Compensation Claim shall be paid in full in Cash from the Professional Fee Escrow Account, within five (5) Business Days after entry of the order approving such Allowed Accrued Professional Compensation Claim. Only those objections made in writing and timely filed and received by the Professional Fees Objection Deadline will be considered by the Bankruptcy Court. If no objection to a final request for Accrued Professional Compensation Claims is timely filed and served in accordance with the procedures set forth herein, then the Bankruptcy Court may enter a Final Order approving such uncontested final requests for Accrued Professional Compensation Claims without further notice and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may pay the amounts described in such uncontested final request for Accrued Professional Compensation Claim (or if any Final Fee Application is the subject of an objection, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall pay the undisputed amounts described in such final request for Accrued Professional Compensation Claim). The hearing to consider approval of the final requests for Accrued Professional Compensation Claims, if necessary, will be held as soon as reasonably practicable after the expiration of the Professional Fees Objection Deadline and the date of such hearing will be promptly provided to the applicable Professionals and Notice Parties and posted on the Debtors' or Reorganized Debtors', as applicable, restructuring web site.

38. Discharge of Claims and Equity Interests.

39. Releases. The release provisions contained in the Plan, including, but not limited to, those provided in Article IX of the Plan, are hereby authorized, approved and binding on all Persons and Entities described therein. The release provisions are integral components of the Plan and the compromises and settlements contained therein. The Debtors' management and directors, with the assistance of the Debtors' Special Restructuring Committee as formed by the Debtors' board of directors prior to the Petition Date, the attorneys, advisors and other professionals of the Debtors, the Creditors' Committee and the Equity Committee have played an integral role in, and have provided a tangible benefit to, the Debtors' restructuring efforts. These parties have worked diligently in connection with the Debtors' restructuring for the benefit of all stakeholders. The Debtors' management and directors, with the assistance of the Debtors' Special Restructuring Committee, the Debtors' attorneys, advisors and other professionals and other key stakeholders including the Creditors' Committee, (a) assisted in the negotiation and formulation of the Disclosure Statement and Plan and the negotiation and consummation of the New Secured Financing and the Minimum Cash Commitment Exchange; and (b) responded to myriad issues that arose during the restructuring process and the Chapter 11 Cases. The Debtors, the Creditors' Committee, the Equity Committee, Thirty Two, Mr. Al A. Gonsoulin and other parties provided good and valuable consideration to the Debtors through the Settlements and otherwise. Each of the parties receiving a release under the Plan has participated in the Chapter 11 Cases and the Debtors' restructurings in good faith, and has acted in compliance with all provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including the negotiation, preparation, and pursuit of confirmation of the Plan, and the negotiation and formulation of the New Secured Financing and the Minimum Cash Commitment Exchange. Accordingly, the release provisions in Article IX.B.1 of the Plan is appropriate, as they represent a valid exercise of the Debtors' business judgment.

40. Third Party Releases. The third party releases contained in Article IX.B.2, as modified by Paragraph 67 of this Order, are appropriate, as the releases contained therein are consensual, and are hereby approved. The third party releases are (a) given in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Released Parties; (b) a good-faith settlement and compromise of the various claims, Causes of Action and contested issues raised by the Chapter 11 Cases; (c) materially beneficial to, and in the best interests of, the Debtors, their Estates, and their stakeholders, and are important to the overall objectives of the Plan to finally resolve disputed issues among certain parties in interest in these Chapter 11 Cases; (d) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (e) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (f) consistent with sections 105, 524, 1123, 1129, and 1141 and other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The Third Party Releases are an integral part of the Plan, as they facilitated participation in both the Plan and the chapter 11 process generally, and were a core negotiation point in developing the Plan that maximized value for all of the Debtors' stakeholders. As such, the Third Party Releases appropriately offer protections to parties who constructively participated in the Debtors' restructuring process by supporting the Plan through providing financing and other accommodations. The releases are consensual because they were conspicuously disclosed in boldface type in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, and on the Ballots, which provided parties in interest with sufficient notice of the releases, and holders of Claims or Equity Interests entitled to vote on the Plan were given the option to opt-out of the Releases.

41. Exculpation. The exculpation provisions set forth in Article IX.E of the Plan, as modified by Paragraph 67 of this Order, were proposed in good faith, given for good and valuable consideration, and are essential to the Plan. The record in these Chapter 11 Cases fully supports the exculpation provisions, and the exculpation provisions set forth in Article IX.E of the Plan are appropriately tailored to protect the Exculpated Parties from inappropriate litigation and to exclude actions determined by Final Order to have constituted actual fraud or gross negligence, or willful misconduct.

ARTICLE III.

CLASSIFICATION AND TREATMENT OF CLASSIFIED CLAIMS AND EQUITY INTERESTS

A. Summary

The Plan is premised upon the substantive consolidation of the Debtors, as set forth in more detail below, solely for the purposes of voting, determining which Claims and Equity Interests have accepted the Plan, Confirmation of the Plan, and the resultant treatment of Claims and Equity Interests and distributions under the terms of the Plan. Accordingly, the Plan shall serve as a motion for entry of a Bankruptcy Court order approving the substantive consolidation of the Debtors for these limited purposes. In accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors have not classified Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims, as described in Article II.

The categories of Claims and Equity Interests listed below classify Claims and Equity Interests for all purposes, including voting, Confirmation, and distribution pursuant hereto and under sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan deems a Claim or Equity Interest to be classified in a particular Class only to the extent that the Claim or Equity Interest qualifies within the description of that Class and shall be deemed classified in a different Class to the extent that any remainder of such Claim or Equity Interest qualifies within the description of such different Class. A Claim or an Equity Interest is in a particular Class only to the extent that any such Claim or Equity Interest is Allowed in that Class and has not been paid or otherwise settled prior to the Effective Date.

Summary of Classification and Treatment of Claims and Interests

B. Classification and Treatment of Claims and Equity Interests

C. Procedures for Citizenship Determination

If a Holder of an Allowed Class 4 Aircraft Lessor Claim or Class 5 General Unsecured Claim furnishes a Citizenship Declaration to the Debtors on or before the Distribution Record Date and, after review, the Debtors, in their reasonable discretion, accept such Citizenship Declaration as reasonable proof to establish that such Holder is a U.S. Citizen, such Holder will receive New Common Stock representing all of such holder's Pro Rata share of the New Common Stock Distribution as of the Effective Date; provided, however, that if such Holder is a Non-U.S. Citizen, or if the Holder fails to furnish a Citizenship Declaration to the Debtors on or before the Distribution Record Date, or if the Citizenship Declaration of such Holder has not been accepted or has been rejected by the Debtors in their reasonable discretion on or before the date that is 5 Business Days after the Distribution Record Date, such Holder will be treated as a Non-U.S. Citizen for all purposes hereunder and under the Plan. In connection with the Debtors' review of any Citizenship Declaration, the Debtors will have the right to require the Holder furnishing the Citizenship Declaration to provide the Debtors with such documentation and other information as they may reasonably request as proof confirming that the holder is a U.S. Citizen. The Debtors will treat all such documentation and information provided by a Holder as confidential; provided, that, the Debtors will share such information with the Creditors' Committee on a confidential basis and will work cooperatively with the Creditors' Committee with respect to citizenship issues.

D. Special Provision Governing Unimpaired Claims

Except as otherwise provided herein, nothing under this Plan shall affect or limit the Debtors' or the Reorganized Debtors' rights and defenses (whether legal or equitable) in respect of any Unimpaired Claims, including, without limitation, all rights in respect of legal and equitable defenses to or setoffs or recoupments against any such Unimpaired Claims.

E. Voting Classes; Presumed Acceptance by Non-Voting Classes

If a Class contains Claims or Equity Interests eligible to vote, and no Holders of Claims or Equity Interests eligible to vote in such Class vote to accept or reject the Plan, the Plan shall be deemed accepted by the Holders of such Claims or Equity Interests in such Class.

F. Controversy Concerning Impairment

If a controversy arises as to whether any Claims or Equity Interests or any Class thereof is Impaired, the Bankruptcy Court shall, after notice and a hearing, determine such controversy on or before the Confirmation Date.

G. Confirmation Under Section 1129(a)(10) and Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code

Section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be satisfied for purposes of Confirmation by acceptance of the Plan by an Impaired Class of Claims. The Debtors shall seek Confirmation under section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any rejecting Class of Claims or Equity Interests.

H. Subordinated Claims

The allowance, classification, and treatment of all Allowed Claims and Equity Interests and the respective distributions and treatments under the Plan shall take into account and conform to the relative priority and rights of the Claims and Equity Interests in each Class in connection with any contractual, legal, and equitable subordination rights relating thereto, whether arising under general principles of equitable subordination, section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise. Under section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve the right to re-classify any Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest in accordance with any contractual, legal, or equitable subordination relating thereto.

I. Elimination of Vacant Classes

J. Intercompany Interests

To the extent Reinstated under the Plan, distributions on account of Intercompany Interests are not being received by Holders of such Intercompany Interests on account of their Intercompany Interests but for the purposes of administrative convenience and due to the importance of maintaining the corporate structure for the ultimate benefit of the Holders that receive New Common Stock in exchange for the Debtors' and Reorganized Debtors' agreement under the Plan to make certain distributions on account of such Holders' Allowed Claims.

ARTICLE IV.

MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN

A. Substantive Consolidation

Except as expressly provided in this Plan, each Debtor shall continue to maintain its separate corporate existence for all purposes other than the treatment of Claims under this Plan and distributions hereunder. On the Effective Date, (i) all Intercompany Claims among the Debtors shall be eliminated and there shall be no distributions on account of such Intercompany Claims; (ii) any obligation of a Debtor and any guarantee thereof by any other Debtor shall be deemed to be one obligation, and any such guarantee shall be eliminated, (iii) each Claim Filed or to be Filed against more than one Debtor shall be deemed Filed only against one consolidated Debtor and shall be deemed a single Claim against and a single obligation of the Debtors, and (iv) any joint or several liability of the Debtors shall be deemed one obligation of the Debtors, with each of the foregoing effective retroactive to the Petition Date. On the Effective Date, and in accordance with the terms of the Plan, all Claims based upon guarantees of collection, payment or performance made by one Debtor as to the obligations of another Debtor shall be released and of no further force and effect. Such substantive consolidation shall not (other than for purposes relating to the Plan) affect the legal and corporate structures of the Reorganized Debtors.

In the event the Bankruptcy Court does not approve the substantive consolidation of all of the Estates for the purposes set forth herein, the Plan shall be treated as a separate plan of reorganization for each Debtor not substantively consolidated.

The Plan shall serve as, and shall be deemed to be, a motion for entry of an order substantively consolidating the Chapter 11 Cases for the limited purposes set forth herein. If no objection to substantive consolidation is timely Filed and served by any Holder of an Impaired Claim on or before the deadline to object to the confirmation of the Plan, or such other date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court and the Debtors meet their burden of introducing evidence to establish that substantive consolidation is merited under the standards of applicable bankruptcy law, the Confirmation Order, which shall be deemed to substantively consolidate the Debtors for the limited purposes set forth herein, may be entered by the Court. If any such objections are timely Filed and served, a hearing with respect to the substantive consolidation of the Chapter 11 Cases and the objections thereto shall be scheduled by the Bankruptcy Court, which hearing shall coincide with the Confirmation Hearing.

B. General Settlement of Claims and Interests

Under sections 363 and 1123(b)(3)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the Plan Distributions, the payment of the Restructuring Expenses, and other benefits provided under this Plan, the Settlement Stipulation and the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation, the provisions of this Plan, the Settlement Stipulation and the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation shall constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all Claims and controversies relating to the rights that a Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest may have with respect to such Claim or Equity Interest or any Plan Distribution on account thereof, including (i) the amount, value, and treatment of the Thirty Two Claim; (ii) the validity, extent and priority of the Liens securing the Thirty Two Claim; (iii) the value of the Debtors' encumbered and unencumbered assets; (iv) the allocation of distributable value among the creditor classes and Existing PHI Interests; and (v) the Plan Equity Value and the Total Enterprise Value of the Debtors.

C. Global Settlement

Under section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration of the substantial contribution and value provided, the Plan reflects a compromise and settlement of numerous Debtor-creditor, inter-creditor and existing equity issues, in the form of a global settlement, designed to achieve an economic settlement of such issues and potential Claims and Causes of Action against the Debtors. The entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court's approval, as of the Effective Date, of each of the compromises and settlements embodied in the Plan, including the Settlement Stipulation and the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation, and the Bankruptcy Court's finding that all such compromises or settlements are: (i) in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, the Reorganized Debtors, and their respective property and stakeholders; and (ii) fair, equitable and within the range of reasonableness. The terms of the Settlement Stipulation are incorporated into the Plan. The provisions of the Plan and the Settlement Stipulation, including, without limitation, the release, injunction, exculpation and compromise provisions of the Plan, are mutually dependent.

In the event that, for any reason, the Confirmation Order is not entered or the Effective Date does not occur, the Debtors, the Creditors' Committee and the Equity Committee reserve all of their respective rights with respect to any and all disputes resolved and settled under the Plan, the Settlement Stipulation and the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation and with respect to the terms of the Plan.

Upon the payment of the amounts sought, to the extent allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, in Houlihan Lokey's final fee application, Houlihan Lokey shall not be entitled to any other payment by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors.

1. Restructuring Transactions

On the Effective Date, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any other entities may take all actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect any transaction described in, approved by, contemplated by, or necessary to effectuate the Plan (the "Restructuring Transactions"), including: (a) the execution and delivery of appropriate agreements or other documents of merger, consolidation, or reorganization containing terms that are consistent with the terms of the Plan and that satisfy the requirements of applicable law; (b) the execution and delivery of appropriate instruments of transfer, assignment, assumption, or delegation of any property, right, liability, duty, or obligation on terms consistent with the terms of the Plan; (c) the filing of appropriate certificates of incorporation, merger, or consolidation with the appropriate governmental authorities under applicable law; and (d) all other actions that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and the Creditors' Committee determine are necessary or appropriate.

2. New Secured Financing

The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, with the consent of the Creditors' Committee, not to be unreasonably withheld, shall be authorized to enter into the New Secured Financing Documents on or before the Effective Date, provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the New Secured Financing shall not exceed the Effective Date Debt Limit. On the Effective Date, the New Secured Financing Documents shall constitute legal, valid, binding, and authorized obligations of either the Reorganized Debtors or the Debtors, as applicable, and following the consummation of the Restructuring Transactions, the New Secured Financing Documents shall constitute legal, valid, binding, and authorized obligations of the applicable Reorganized Debtors, enforceable in accordance with their terms.

The Management Incentive Plan will be for directors, officers, and key employees of the Reorganized Debtors (each, a "MIP Participant"). The initial percentage (and no other terms and conditions) of the Management Incentive Plan allocable to the MIP Participants shall be determined by the Creditors' Committee and identified in the Plan Supplement, and such initial percentage will be allocated by the New Board within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date.

The form, terms, allocation, and vesting applicable to the Management Incentive Plan shall be determined by the New Board.

G. Employment Agreements

The New Board and each KEIP Participant agrees to negotiate an employment agreement within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date, taking into consideration the recommendations received by the New Board from Lyons, Benenson & Company, Inc. with respect to market practices. If, at the expiration of such sixty (60) day period, the New Board and the KEIP Participant have not reached an agreement with respect to such KEIP Participant's employment agreement, either the KEIP Participant or the New Board may terminate the employment relationship between the Reorganized Debtors and the KEIP Participant, and in such case the applicable KEIP Participant shall receive one hundred percent (100%) of his or her annual base salary as severance; provided, however, that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall not change the base salary of any KEIP Participant in effect as of March 28, 2019, without the prior written consent of the Creditors' Committee or the New Board, respectively. If the New Board elects to terminate a KEIP Participant's employment without cause prior to: (i) the expiration of sixty (60) days from the Effective Date, and (ii) reaching an agreement with respect to such KEIP Participant's employment agreement, then such KEIP Participant shall be entitled to receive one hundred percent (100%) of their annual base salary as severance.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the maximum severance payment that any KEIP Participant may receive in connection with the foregoing construct is one hundred percent (100%) of his or her annual base salary, and (ii) any such severance payment shall be in lieu of any and all severance payments/benefits to which the KEIP Participant may have otherwise been entitled to (including any benefits provided for under any severance-related plan, program or arrangement); provided, however, that such limitation shall not impair the KEIP Participant from any entitlement under the Debtors' Key Employee Incentive Plan, as approved by the Bankruptcy Court on June 6, 2019 [Docket No. 620].

If within sixty (60) days from the Effective Date any KEIP Participant (i) elects to terminate his or her employment with the Reorganized Debtor, or (ii) is terminated by the New Board for cause, then such KEIP Participant shall not be entitled to receive any severance payment.

Any severance payment shall be subject to the execution of an effective release agreement, and the agreement of the KEIP Participant not to compete with the Reorganized Debtors for ninety (90) days following such termination, and not to solicit (with respect to customers, vendors, lessors, and employees of the Reorganized Debtors and their non-Debtor Affiliates) for a period of one year following such termination and non-disparagement and standard confidentiality agreements.

H. Restructuring Expenses

On the Effective Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall pay in full in Cash all outstanding Restructuring Expenses incurred, or estimated to be incurred, through the Effective Date, in accordance with the terms of the applicable orders, engagement letters, or other applicable contractual arrangements, but without regard to any notice or objection period as may be contained in such applicable orders, engagement letters, or other applicable contractual arrangements, subject to adjustment, if necessary, for the actual Restructuring Expenses incurred; provided, however, with respect to any Restructuring Expenses incurred through the Confirmation Date, to the extent any notice or objection period has not yet run as of the Effective Date, any such notice or objection periods shall survive after the Effective Date and, to the extent of any timely and successful objection to any Restructuring Expenses, the recipient of such successfully challenged Restructuring Expenses shall be subject to disgorgement.

I. Continued Corporate Existence

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, each Debtor shall continue to exist as of the Effective Date as a separate corporate Entity, limited liability company, partnership, or other form, as the case may be, with all the powers of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or other form, as the case may be, under the applicable law in the jurisdiction in which each applicable Debtor is incorporated or formed and under the respective certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation documents) in effect prior to the Effective Date, except to the extent such certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation documents) are amended by the Plan or otherwise, and to the extent such documents are amended, such documents are deemed to be under the Plan and require no further action or approval.

The Reorganized Debtors intend to create a holding company as their immediate parent ("New Holding Company") to act as the issuer of equity securities to the public, including to Holders entitled to receive equity under the Plan. Therefore, in lieu of shares or warrants for shares of Reorganized PHI, the Holders shall receive New Holding Company stock or warrants as more fully described above. It is currently anticipated that New Holding Company will conduct no operations and hold no assets other than 100% of the shares of Reorganized PHI.

J. Vesting of Assets in the Reorganized Debtors

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated herein, on the Effective Date, all property in each Estate, all Causes of Action, and any property acquired by any of the Debtors under the Plan shall vest in each respective Reorganized Debtor (and New Holding Company), free and clear of all Liens, Claims, charges, or other encumbrances. On and after the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, each Reorganized Debtor may operate its business and may use, acquire, or dispose of property and compromise or settle any Claims, Equity Interests, or Causes of Action without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules.

K. Cancellation of Agreements, Security Interests, and Other Interests

On the Effective Date, except to the extent otherwise specifically provided herein, all notes, instruments, certificates, and other documents evidencing the Thirty Two Claim, Blue Torch Claim, Unsecured Notes Claims and Equity Interests, shall be cancelled and the obligations of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors and any non-Debtor Affiliates thereunder or in any way related thereto (including, without limitation, any guarantee obligations of any non-Debtor Affiliates with respect to the Unsecured Notes Claims) shall be discharged and the agents and indenture trustees thereunder shall be automatically and fully discharged from all duties and obligations thereunder. Thirty Two's commitments and obligations (if any) to extend any further or future credit or financial accommodations under the Thirty Two Loan Agreement to any of the Debtors, any of their respective subsidiaries, or any of their respective successors or assigns (as applicable), Thirty Two's participation in letters of credit issued under the Thirty Two Loan Agreement (other than the obligations of any relevant letter of credit issuer with respect to outstanding letters of credit that remain outstanding in accordance with Article III of this Plan), and all security interests and/or Liens granted under the Blue Torch Facility and/or any other Secured Claims shall also be automatically released, discharged, terminated, and of no further force and effect as of the Effective Date; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or the Confirmation Order, Confirmation or the occurrence of the Effective Date, any credit document or agreement that governs the rights of any Holder of a Thirty Two Claim, Unsecured Notes Claim or Equity Interest shall continue in effect solely for purposes of (1) allowing Holders of such Allowed Claims or Equity Interests to receive distributions under the Plan; (2) allowing and preserving the rights of the agents or representative of Holders of such Claims or Equity Interests, as applicable, to make distributions on account of such Allowed Claims or Equity Interests, as provided herein; (3) preserve any rights of the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee as against any money or property distributable to holders of Unsecured Notes Claims, respectively, including any priority in respect of payment of fees, expenses, or indemnification and the right to exercise any charging lien; (4) preserve all rights, remedies, indemnities, powers, and protections of the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee (including all rights to payment of fees and expenses) as against any person or entity other than the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, any non-Debtor Affiliates and any of their respective Related Persons; (5) preserve all exculpations in favor of the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee; (6) allow the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee to enforce any rights and obligations owed to it under this Plan or the Confirmation Order; and (7) permit the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee to appear and be heard in the Chapter 11 Cases, or in any proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court or an., other court.

L. Exemption from Registration Requirements; Trading of Securities

The offering, issuance, and distribution of New Common Stock, the New Warrants, and the Old Equity Settlement Warrants (collectively, the "New Equity Securities") issued under the Plan shall be exempt from, among other things, the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act under section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code or, with respect to any New Common Stock issued pursuant to the Minimum Cash Commitment Exchange (other than the New Common Stock issued in connection with the Minimum Cash Commitment Premium), under section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the governing certificates or instruments, any and all New Common Stock (and any New Warrants) and any Old Equity Settlement Warrants issued under the Plan will be freely tradable under the Securities Act by the recipients thereof, subject to: (1) the provisions of section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code relating to the definition of an underwriter in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and compliance with any applicable individual state securities laws ("Blue Sky Laws") or foreign securities laws, if any, and any rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission, if any, applicable at the time of any future transfer of such New Equity Securities or instruments; (2) the restrictions imposed with respect to "affiliate shares" under the Securities Act by those persons who are Affiliates of the Reorganized Debtors; (3) the restrictions, if any, on the transferability of such New Equity Securities and instruments provided by law, including restrictions imposed by laws applicable to air carriers, and provided in the New Equity Documents; and (4) any other applicable regulatory approvals and requirements.

The issuance and sale, as applicable, of the New Common Stock issued to the Commitment Parties under the Minimum Cash Commitment Agreement (other than the New Common Stock issued in connection with the Minimum Cash Commitment Premium) is being made in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder. Such securities will be considered "restricted securities" and may not be transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement or under an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, such as, under certain conditions, the resale provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

Neither the Debtors nor the Reorganized Debtors are able to determine the availability of state securities laws exemptions for an issuance to a particular holder until such holder identifies its relevant state jurisdiction. Certain states do not provide exemptions for offerings relying on a federal private placement exemption and, in such states, state securities laws requirements must be met. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a state securities law exemption will be available in a particular state for a holder receiving New Equity Securities under the Plan, which may necessitate one or more state securities filings on behalf of such holder to comply with state securities laws.

M. Organizational Documents

Subject to Article IV.D of this Plan, the Reorganized Debtors (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Reorganized PHI and New Holding Company) shall enter into such agreements and amend their corporate governance documents to the extent necessary to implement the terms and provisions of the Plan. Under section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, the organizational documents of each of the Reorganized Debtors will prohibit the issuance of non-voting Equity Securities. After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors will amend and restate their respective organizational documents, and the Reorganized Debtors will file their respective certificates or articles of incorporation, bylaws, or such other applicable formation documents, and other constituent documents as permitted by the laws of the respective states, provinces, or countries of incorporation and the organization documents of each of the Reorganized Debtors. It is currently expected that the Reorganized Debtors' organizational documents will be amended immediately following Confirmation consistent with the Settlement Stipulation to contain provisions that preclude foreign control and prevent foreign ownership of the Reorganized Debtors from exceeding specified limitations required by U.S. federal law governing air carriers. These amendments will involve safeguards to ensure that at no time will the Reorganized Debtors (including New Holding Company) be out of compliance with the foreign ownership limitations contained in such laws.

N. Exemption from Certain Transfer Taxes and Recording Fees

To the fullest extent permitted by section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfer from a Debtor to a Reorganized Debtor or to any Entity under, in contemplation of, or in connection with the Plan or under: (1) the issuance, distribution, transfer, or exchange of any debt, securities, or other interest in the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors; (2) the creation, modification, consolidation, or recording of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest, or the securing of additional indebtedness by such or other means; (3) the making, assignment, or recording of any lease or sublease; or (4) the making, delivery, or recording of any deed or other instrument of transfer under, in furtherance of, or in connection with, the Plan, including any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, or other instrument of transfer executed in connection with any transaction arising out of, contemplated by, or in any way related to the Plan, shall not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles, or similar tax, mortgage tax, real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, Uniform Commercial Code filing or recording fee, regulatory filing or recording fee, or other similar tax or governmental assessment, and the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents shall forego the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and to accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment.

O. New Board and Officers of the Reorganized Debtors

1. The New Board

As of the Effective Date, the terms of the current members of the board of directors of PHI shall expire, and, without further order of the Bankruptcy Court, the New Board shall be appointed and shall initially comprise seven (7) members as follows: (a) Mr. Lance Bospflug, as Chief Executive Officer of the Reorganized Debtors; and (b) six (6) members designated by the Creditors' Committee, provided, however, that two (2) such members shall be (i) independent directors with requisite industry experience; and (ii) selected by the Creditors' Committee in consultation with Mr. Bospflug, who shall have a veto right with respect to one (1) of such two (2) members. The Reorganized Debtors will require that at least twothirds of the members of the New Board, two-thirds of the Reorganized Debtors' senior management team, and the president of any of the Reorganized Debtors that is an air carrier as defined in 49 U. S.C. § 40102(a) will be a United States citizen for purposes of compliance with applicable federal laws relating to air carriers.

The Debtors expect that the members of the New Board will be disclosed in the Plan Supplement or prior to the Effective Date.

2. Senior Management

On the Effective Date, except as otherwise set forth in the Settlement Stipulation, the officers of the Reorganized Debtors shall be substantially the same and their employment shall be subject to the ordinary rights and powers of the New Board to remove or replace them in accordance with the Reorganized Debtors' organizational documents and any applicable employment agreements that are assumed under the Plan (subject to any modifications thereto provided for under the Plan, including the limitation on severance contemplated by Article IV.G).

3. Mr. Al A. Gonsoulin Retirement

Mr. Gonsoulin shall enter into a three year (or such shorter time to the extent required by applicable law) non-solicit (with respect to customers, vendors, lessors, and employees of the Debtors and their non-Debtor affiliates) and non-disparagement agreement with the Debtors and/or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable (the "Non-Solicit and Non-Disparagement Agreement") on customary, industry standard, terms reasonably acceptable to Mr. Gonsoulin, the Creditors' Committee or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable.

On the Effective Date, Mr. Al A. Gonsoulin shall retire from his positions as Chief Executive Officer and chairman of the board of PHI. Mr. Gonsoulin shall respond to reasonable inquiries and provide assistance as requested by the New Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Reorganized Debtors and shall have no other responsibilities. Through December 31, 2019: (i) Mr. Gonsoulin may continue to utilize his current office located in Sugar Land, Texas, and may continue to use his existing assistant, provided, however, that any use of such office and such assistant must be consistent with this Plan and the Non-Solicit and Non-Disparagement Agreement; and (ii) the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall continue to pay the costs for maintaining the current company-provided medical insurance for Mr. Gonsoulin and his spouse.

No payments or distributions shall be made to Mr. Gonsoulin or any other party by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors in connection with Mr. Gonsoulin's retirement.

P. Directors and Officers Insurance Policies

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Debtors' D&O Liability Insurance Policies under section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code effective as of the Effective Date. Entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Bankruptcy Court's approval of the Reorganized Debtors' foregoing assumption of the unexpired D&O Liability 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 foregoing 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, after the Effective Date, none of the Reorganized Debtors shall 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 on or 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.

Q. Chubb Insurance Agreements

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, any Plan Supplement, the Confirmation Order, any bar date notice or claim objection, and any other document related to any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, any provision that purports to be preemptory or supervening, grants an injunction or release or requires any party to opt out of any releases): (a) on the Effective Date, (i) the Reorganized Debtors shall assume all of the Insurance Policies previously issued by ACE American Insurance Company, Westchester Fire Insurance Company, Westchester Surplus Lines Insurance Company, Illinois Union Insurance Company, Pacific Employers Insurance Company, Federal Insurance Company, and/or their respective Affiliates (collectively, and with each of their successors, "Chubb") to (or providing coverage to) the Debtors and all agreements and instruments related thereto (each as amended, modified or supplemented and including any exhibit or addenda thereto, collectively, the "Chubb Insurance Agreements") and (ii) without altering the foregoing and unless specifically rejected by order of the Bankruptcy Court or under the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors may, in their discretion, assume any of the Debtors' other Insurance Policies, in their entirety pursuant to sections 105 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code; (b) all Chubb Insurance Agreements (including any and all letters of credit and other collateral and security provided in relation thereto) and all debts, obligations, and liabilities of Debtors (and, after the Effective Date, of the Reorganized Debtors) thereunder, whether arising before or after the Effective Date, shall survive and shall not be amended, modified, waived, released, discharged or impaired in any respect and shall remain in full force and effect and subject to applicable non-bankruptcy law; (c) nothing shall alter, modify, amend, affect, impair or prejudice the legal, equitable or contractual rights, obligations, and defenses of Chubb, the Debtors (or, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors), or any other individual or entity, as applicable, under any Chubb Insurance Agreements; any such rights and obligations shall be determined under the Chubb Insurance Agreements and applicable non-bankruptcy law as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not occurred; (d) nothing alters or modifies the duty, if any, that Chubb has to pay claims covered by the Chubb Insurance Agreements and Chubb's right to seek payment or reimbursement from the Debtors (or after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors) or draw on any collateral or security therefor; (e) the claims of Chubb arising (whether before or after the Effective Date) under the Chubb Insurance Agreements (i) are actual and necessary expenses of the Debtors' estates (or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable), (ii) shall be paid in full in the ordinary course of businesses, whether as an Allowed Administrative Claim under section 503(b)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, regardless of when such amounts are or shall become liquidated, due or paid, and (iii) shall not be discharged or released by the Plan or the Confirmation Order or any other order of the Bankruptcy Court; (0 Chubb shall not need to or be required to file or serve any objection to a proposed cure amount or a request, application, claim, proof or motion for payment or allowance of any Administrative Claim and shall not be subject to any bar date or similar deadline governing cure amounts or Administrative Claims in connection with the Chubb Insurance Agreements; and (g) the automatic stay of Bankruptcy Code section 362(a) and the injunctions set forth in Article IX of this Plan, if and to the extent applicable, shall be deemed lifted without further order of this Court, solely to permit: (I) claimants with valid workers' compensation claims or direct action claims against an insurer under applicable non-bankruptcy law to proceed with their claims; (II) Chubb to administer, handle, defend, settle, and/or pay, in the ordinary course of business and without further order of this Bankruptcy Court, (A) workers' compensation claims under the Chubb Insurance Agreements, (B) claims where a claimant asserts a direct claim against Chubb under applicable non-bankruptcy law, or an order has been entered by this Court granting a claimant relief from the automatic stay to proceed with its claim, and (C) all costs in relation to each of the foregoing; (III) Chubb to draw against any or all of the collateral or security provided by or on behalf of the Debtors (or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable) at any time and to hold the proceeds thereof as security for the obligations of the Debtors (and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable) and/or apply such proceeds to the obligations of the Debtors (and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable) under the applicable Chubb Insurance Agreements, in such order as Chubb may determine; and (IV) Chubb to cancel any of the Chubb Insurance Agreements, and take other actions relating thereto, to the extent permissible under applicable non-bankruptcy law, and in accordance with the terms of the Chubb Insurance Agreements.

R. Other Insurance Policies

On the Effective Date, each of the Debtors' Insurance Policies in existence as of the Effective Date shall be Reinstated and continued in accordance with their terms and, to the extent applicable, shall be deemed assumed by the applicable Reorganized Debtor under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and Article V of this Plan. Nothing in the Plan shall affect, impair, or prejudice the rights of the insurance carriers, the insureds, or the Reorganized Debtors under the Insurance Policies in any manner, and such insurance carriers, the insureds, and Reorganized Debtors shall retain all rights and defenses under such Insurance Policies. The Insurance Policies shall apply to and be enforceable by and against the insureds and the Reorganized Debtors in the same manner and according to the same terms and practices applicable to the Debtors, as existed prior to the Effective Date.

S. Preservation of Rights of Action

In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code but subject to the releases set forth in Article IX of this Plan, all Causes of Action that a Debtor may hold against any Entity shall vest in the applicable Reorganized Debtor on the Effective Date. Thereafter, the Reorganized Debtors shall have the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to determine, initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any such Causes of Action, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, and to decline to do any of the foregoing without the consent or approval of any third party or further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Subject to the releases set forth in Article IX of this Plan, no Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure Statement to any specific Cause of Action as any indication that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action. The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, 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 any Cause of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or the occurrence of the Effective Date.

T. Corporate Action

Upon the Effective Date, all actions contemplated by the Plan shall be deemed authorized, approved, and, to the extent taken prior to the Effective Date, ratified without any requirement for further action by Holders of Claims or Equity Interests, directors, managers, or officers of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any other Entity, including: (1) assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; (2) selection of the directors, managers, and officers for the Reorganized Debtors; (3) the execution of and entry into the New Secured Financing Documents and the New Equity Documents; (4) the issuance and distribution of the New Common Stock and the New Warrants as provided herein; (5) to the extent the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation remains in full force and effect, the issuance and distribution of the Old Equity Settlement Warrants as provided herein and (6) all other acts or actions contemplated or reasonably necessary or appropriate to promptly consummate the transactions contemplated by the Plan (whether to occur before, on, or after the Effective Date). All matters provided for in the Plan involving the company structure of the Reorganized Debtors and any company action required by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, in connection therewith shall be deemed to have occurred on and shall be in effect as of the Effective Date without any requirement of further action by the security holders, directors, managers, authorized persons, or officers of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable.

On or prior to the Effective Date, the appropriate officers, directors, managers, or authorized persons of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable (including any president, vice-president, chief executive officer, treasurer, general counsel, or chief financial officer thereof), shall be authorized and directed to issue, execute, and deliver the agreements, documents, securities, certificates of incorporation, certificates of formation, bylaws, operating agreements, and instruments contemplated by the Plan (or necessary or desirable to effect the transactions contemplated by the Plan) in the name of and on behalf of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, including (1) the New Secured Financing Documents and the New Equity Documents, (2) the Old Equity Settlement Warrants (provided that the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation remains in full force and effect), and (3) any and all other agreements, documents, securities, and instruments relating to the foregoing. The authorizations and approvals contemplated by the Plan shall be effective notwithstanding any requirements under nonbankruptcy law.

U. Effectuating Documents; Further Transactions

Prior to, on, and after the Effective Date, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors and the directors, managers, officers, authorized persons, and members of the boards of directors or managers and directors thereof, are authorized to and may issue, execute, deliver, file, or record such contracts, securities, instruments, releases, and other agreements or documents and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement, and further evidence the terms and provisions of the Plan, the New Secured Financing Documents and the New Equity Documents, and any securities issued under the Plan in the name of and on behalf of the Reorganized Debtors, without the need for any approvals, authorizations, actions, or consents except for those expressly required under the Plan. All counterparties to any documents described in this paragraph are authorized to and may execute any such documents as may be required or provided by such documents without further order of the Court.

V. Workers' Compensation Programs

As of the Effective Date, except as set forth in the Plan Supplement, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall continue to honor their obligations under (1) all applicable workers' compensation laws in states in which the Reorganized Debtors operate and (2) the Debtors' written contracts, agreements, agreements of indemnity, self-insured workers' compensation bonds, policies, programs, and plans, in each case, for workers' compensation and workers' compensation insurance. Any and all Proofs of Claims on account of workers' compensation shall be deemed withdrawn automatically and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court; provided that nothing in the Plan shall limit, diminish, or otherwise alter the Debtors' or Reorganized Debtors' defenses, Causes of Action, or other rights under applicable non-bankruptcy law with respect to any such contracts, agreements, policies, programs, and plans; provided, further, that nothing herein shall be deemed to impose any obligations on the Debtors in addition to what is provided for under applicable state law.

ARTICLE V.

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

A. Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

Subject to the consent of the Creditors' Committee (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), on the Effective Date, all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases of the Debtors will be assumed by the Debtors in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, except for those Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that:

(i) have already been assumed or rejected by the Debtors by prior order of the Bankruptcy Court, including but not limited to the Modified Aircraft Leases;

(ii) are the subject of a separate assumption motion or motion to reject Filed by the Debtors pending on the Effective Date;

(iii) are the subject of a pending objection regarding assumption, cure, or "adequate assurance of future performance" (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code);

(iv) are rejected or terminated by the Debtors with the consent of the Creditors' Committee (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) pursuant to the terms of this Plan.

Without amending or altering any prior order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the assumption or rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of such assumptions or rejections pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code.

To the extent any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to this Plan or any prior order of the Bankruptcy Court (including, without limitation, any "change of control" provision) prohibits, restricts or conditions, or purports to prohibit, restrict or condition, or is modified, breached or terminated, or deemed modified, breached or terminated by, (i) the commencement of these Chapter 11 Cases or the insolvency or financial condition of any Debtor at any time before the closing of its respective Chapter 11 Case, (ii) any Debtor's or any Reorganized Debtor's assumption or assumption and assignment (as applicable) of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or (iii) the Confirmation or Consummation of this Plan, then such provision shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by this Plan shall not entitle the non-debtor party thereto to modify or terminate such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to exercise any other default-related rights or remedies with respect thereto, and any required consent under any such contract or lease shall be deemed satisfied by the Confirmation of the Plan.

Each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to this Plan shall revest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor or the applicable assignee in accordance with its terms and conditions, except as modified by the provisions of this Plan, any order of the Bankruptcy Court approving its assumption and/or assignment, or applicable law.

The inclusion or exclusion of a contract or lease on any schedule or exhibit shall not constitute an admission by any Debtor that such contract or lease is an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Debtor has any liability thereunder.

B. Cure ofDefaults; Assignment of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

Any defaults under each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed, or assumed and assigned, pursuant to this Plan shall be satisfied, pursuant to and to the extent required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the applicable default amount in Cash on the Effective Date or on such other terms as the Bankruptcy Court may order or the parties to such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases may otherwise agree in writing (the "Cure Claim Amount").

The Debtors shall File, as part of the Plan Supplement, a schedule of assumed contracts and a list of each applicable Cure Claim Amount.

Any objection by a counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to a Cure Claim Amount must be Filed, served and actually received by the Debtors on or prior to the later of (i) the Claims Objection Deadline or (ii) seven (7) days after the Filing and service of a Plan Supplement that first identifies such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed Cure Claim Amount will be deemed to have consented to such matters and will be deemed to have forever released and waived any objection to such Cure Claim Amount. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving each proposed assumption, or proposed assumption and assignment, of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date.

In the event of a dispute regarding (a) the amount of any Cure Claim Amount, (b) the ability of any Debtor or assignee to provide "adequate assurance of future performance" (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed, or assumed and assigned or (c) any other matter pertaining to assumption or assignment, the applicable payment of the Cure Claim Amount required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving such assumption, or assumption and assignment. If such objection is sustained by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors may reject such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease in lieu of assuming it. The Debtors (with the consent of the Creditors' Committee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall be authorized to effect such rejection by filing a written notice of rejection with the Bankruptcy Court and serving such notice on the applicable counterparty within thirty (30) days of the entry of such Final Order.

Subject to any cure claims Filed with respect thereto, assumption or assumption and assignment of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to this Plan shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Claims or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time prior to the effective date of assumption or assumption and assignment, in each case as provided in section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. Any Proofs of Claim filed with respect to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that has been assumed or assumed and assigned by Final Order shall be deemed disallowed and expunged (subject to any cure claims Filed with respect thereto), without further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

C. Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

The Debtors reserve the right, subject to the consent of the Creditors' Committee (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), at any time prior to the Effective Date, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, to seek to reject any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease and to add such contract or lease to Plan Schedule V.C or to file a motion requesting authorization for the rejection of any such contract or lease. All Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases listed on Plan Schedule V.C shall be deemed rejected as of the Effective Date. Rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to this Plan or otherwise shall not constitute a termination of any preexisting obligations owed to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, under any such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases.

D. Claims on Account of the Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases

All Proofs of Claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, pursuant to this Plan or the Confirmation Order, if any, must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court within thirty (30) days after service of an order of the Bankruptcy Court (including the Confirmation Order) approving such rejection.

Any Entity that is required to file a Proof of Claim arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract or an Unexpired Lease that fails to timely do so shall be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from asserting such Claim, and such Claim shall not be enforceable, against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Estates, and the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and their Estates and their respective assets and property shall be forever discharged from any and all indebtedness and liability with respect to such Claim 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 permanent injunction set forth in Article IX.G hereof.

E. Extension of Time to Reject

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Article V of this Plan, in the event of a dispute as to whether a contract is executory or a lease is unexpired, the right of the Reorganized Debtors to move to reject such contract or lease shall be extended until the date that is thirty (30) days after entry of a Final Order by the Bankruptcy Court determining that the contract is executory or the lease is unexpired.

F. Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements, or Other Agreements

Unless otherwise provided in this Plan, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors pursuant to this Plan shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and all rights related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing has been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated hereunder. Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.

G. Indemnification and Reimbursement Obligations

Except to the extent any such rights were released under the Settlement Stipulation, on and as of the Effective Date, any indemnification provisions will be assumed and irrevocable and will survive the effectiveness of the Plan, and the Reorganized Debtors' governance documents will provide for the indemnification, defense, reimbursement, exculpation, and/or limitation of liability of and advancement of fees and expenses to the Debtors' and the Reorganized Debtors' current and former directors, officers, employees, and agents to the fullest extent permitted by law and at least to the same extent as the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or similar organizational documents of each of the respective Debtors as of the Petition Date, against any claims or Causes of Action whether direct or derivative, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed, or contingent, disputed or undisputed, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, asserted or unasserted. None of the Reorganized Debtors shall amend and/or restate its certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or similar organizational document before or after the Effective Date to terminate or materially adversely affect (1) any of the Reorganized Debtors' obligations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence or (2) the rights of such managers, directors, officers, employees, or agents referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Reorganized Debtors shall not be required to indemnify the Debtors' managers, directors, officers, or employees for any claims or Causes of Action for which indemnification is barred under applicable law, the Debtors' organizational documents, or applicable agreements governing the Debtors' indemnification obligations.

H. Employee Compensation and Benefits

1. Compensation and Benefits Programs

Subject to the provisions of the Plan (including Article V.A, the limitation on severance contemplated by Article IV.G, and the terms of the Settlement Stipulation and Article IV.C(ii) herein), all Compensation and Benefits Programs shall be treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan and deemed assumed on the Effective Date under the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code including, without limitation, the Debtors' Key Employee Incentive Plan, as approved by the Bankruptcy Court on June 6, 2019 [Docket No. 620] (which such Plan contains provisions providing KEIP Participants with payments following the Effective Date), and the Debtors' 2019 annual incentive plan, as approved by the Debtors' Compensation Committee on February 20, 2019, as such plan relates to all Debtors' employees other than KEIP Participants; provided, however, that all provisions relating to equity-based awards, including any termination-related provisions with respect to equity based awards, will be replaced and superseded in their entirety by the terms of the Management Incentive Plan. The Reorganized Debtors shall honor, in the ordinary course of business, Claims of employees employed as of the Effective Date for accrued vacation time arising prior to the Petition Date and not otherwise paid under a Bankruptcy Court order.

None of the Consummation of this Plan, the Restructuring Transactions, or any assumption of Compensation and Benefits Programs under the terms herein shall be deemed to trigger any applicable change of control, immediate vesting, termination, or similar provisions therein. No counterparty shall have rights under a Compensation and Benefits Program assumed under the Plan other than those applicable immediately prior to such assumption.

2. Collective Bargaining Agreement and Green Book

As of the Effective Date, a Reorganized Debtor entity specifically designated in the Confirmation Order shall unilaterally continue to honor the expired Collective Bargaining Agreement's set of rules, rates of pay, and working condition requirements, plus the changes unilaterally made by PHI since the parties were released to self-help (the expired Collective Bargaining Agreement, plus the changes made by PHI since the parties were released to self-help are referred to collectively as the "Green Book"), subject to any rights and duties provided under applicable law, in the same manner as the Debtors honored the Green Book as of the Petition Date; provided, however, that nothing in this Plan shall be deemed an admission that the Green Book is an Executory Contract under the Plan; and that the Reorganized Debtor entity may continue to make unilateral changes to the Green Book as appropriate under self-help.

I. Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements, or Other Agreements

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases related thereto, if any, including easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been previously rejected or repudiated.

Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.

J. Reservation of Rights

Nothing contained in the Plan or the Plan Supplement shall constitute an admission by the Debtors or any other party that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have thirty (30) calendar days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease, including by rejecting such contract or lease nunc pro tunc to the Confirmation Date.

K. Nonoccurrence of Effective Date

In the event that the Effective Date does not occur, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction with respect to any request to extend the deadline for assuming or rejecting Unexpired Leases under section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such deadline(s) have expired.

ARTICLE VI.

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

A. Timing and Calculation ofAmounts to Be Distributed

Except as otherwise provided in the "Treatment" sections in Article III hereof or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, initial distributions to be made on account of Claims that are Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date or the Existing PHI Interests shall be made on the Initial Distribution Date or as soon thereafter as is practicable. Any payment or distribution required to be made under this Plan on a day other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Distributions on account of Disputed Claims that first become Allowed Claims after the Effective Date shall be made under Article VII hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all distributions to the Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims shall be subject to the right of the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee to assert its charging lien.

B. Delivery of Distributions

1. Delivery of Distributions by the Distribution Agent

Other than as specifically set forth below, the Distribution Agent shall make all distributions required to be distributed under this Plan. The Distribution Agent may employ or contract with other entities to assist in or make the distributions required by this Plan and may pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such entities and the Distribution Agents in the ordinary course of business. No Distribution Agent shall be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

From and after the Effective Date, any Distribution Agent, solely in its capacity as Distribution Agent, shall be exculpated by all Persons and Entities, including, without limitation, Holders of Claims and Equity Interests and other parties in interest, from any and all claims, Causes of Action, and other assertions of liability arising out of the discharge of the powers and duties conferred upon such Distribution Agent by the Plan or any order of the Bankruptcy Court entered under or in furtherance of the Plan, or applicable law, except for actions or omissions to act arising out of the Distribution Agent's gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, malpractice, criminal conduct, or ultra vires acts. No Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest or other party in interest shall have or pursue any claim or Cause of Action against a Distribution Agent, solely in its capacity as Distribution Agent, for making payments in accordance with the Plan or for implementing provisions of the Plan, except for actions or omissions to act arising out of such Distribution Agent's gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, malpractice, criminal conduct, or ultra vires acts.

2. Minimum Distributions

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agents shall not be required to make distributions or payments of less than $100 (whether Cash or otherwise) and shall not be required to make partial distributions or payments of fractions of dollars. Whenever any payment or distribution of a fraction of a dollar or fractional share of New Common Stock or the Old Equity Settlement Warrants under the Plan would otherwise be called for, the actual payment or distribution will reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar or share of New Common Stock or the Old Equity Settlement Warrants (up or down), with half dollars and half shares of New Common Stock or the Old Equity Settlement Warrants or less being rounded down. The total number of authorized shares of New Common Stock, as applicable, shall be adjusted as necessary to account for the foregoing rounding.

3. Distribution Record Date

At the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the Claims Register shall be closed. Accordingly, neither the Debtors nor Distribution Agent will have any obligation to recognize the assignment, transfer or other disposition of, or the sale of any participation in, any Allowed Claim or Existing PHI Interest that occurs after the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, and will be entitled for all purposes herein to recognize and distribute securities, property, notices and other documents only to those Holders of Allowed Claims or Existing PHI Interests who are Holders of such Claims or Interests, or participants therein, as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. The Distribution Agent shall be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes under this Plan with only those record holders stated on the Claims Register, or their books and records, as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, the Distribution Record Date shall not apply to publicly held securities if distributions to such securities will be effectuated through the Depository Trust Company.

4. Delivery of Distributions in General

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Debtors or the Distribution Agent, as applicable, shall make distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims or Interests (to the extent set forth in the Plan), or in care of their authorized agents or designated affiliates as designated before the Effective Date, as appropriate, at the address for each such Holder or agent as indicated on the Debtors' or other applicable Distribution Agent's books and records as of the date of any such distribution; provided, that the address for each Holder of an Allowed Claim shall be deemed to be the address set forth in the latest Proof of Claim Filed by such Holder under Bankruptcy Rule 3001 as of the Distribution Record Date unless otherwise specified by such Holder.

5. Undeliverable Distributions

If any distribution to a Holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest made in accordance herewith is returned to the Reorganized Debtors (or their Distribution Agent) as undeliverable, no further distributions shall be made to such Holder unless and until the Distribution Agent is notified in writing of such Holder's then-current address or other necessary information for delivery, at which time such undelivered distribution shall be made to such Holder within ninety (90) days of receipt of such Holder's then-current address or other necessary information; provided, however, that any such undelivered distribution shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code at the expiration of six (6) months from the later of (a) the Effective Date and (b) the date of the initial attempted distribution. After such date, all unclaimed property or interests in property shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors automatically and without need for a further order by the Bankruptcy Court (notwithstanding any applicable non-bankruptcy escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws to the contrary), and the right, title, and interest of any Holder to such property or interest in property shall be discharged and forever barred.

C. Manner of Payment

At the option of the Distribution Agent, any Cash payment to be made under the Plan may be made by check or wire transfer or as otherwise required or provided in applicable agreements.

D. No Postpetition or Default Interest on Claims

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or the Confirmation Order and notwithstanding any documents that govern the Debtors' prepetition indebtedness to the contrary, (1) postpetition and/or default interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims, and (2) no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to (a) interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any such Claim or (b) interest at the contract default rate, each as applicable.

E. Setoffs and Recoupments

Each Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, or such Entity's designee, may, under section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable nonbankruptcy law, offset or recoup against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made under this Plan on account of such Allowed Claim any and all Claims, rights, and Causes of Action that such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor or its successors may hold against the Holder of such Allowed Claim; provided, however that neither the failure to effect a setoff or recoupment nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder will constitute a waiver or release by a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor or its successor of any Claims, rights, or Causes of Action that a Reorganized Debtor or its successor or assign may possess against such Holder.

F. Rights and Powers of Distribution Agent

The Distribution Agent shall be empowered to (i) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments, and other documents necessary to perform its duties under this Plan; (ii) make all applicable distributions or payments provided for under this Plan; (iii) employ professionals to represent it with respect to its responsibilities; and (iv) exercise such other powers (A) as may be vested in the Distribution Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court (including any order issued after the Effective Date) or under this Plan or (B) as deemed by the Distribution Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions of this Plan.

To the extent the Distribution Agent is an Entity other than a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor, except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court and subject to the written agreement of the Reorganized Debtors, the amount of any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Distribution Agent on or after the Effective Date (including taxes) and any reasonable compensation and expense reimbursement Claims (including for reasonable attorneys' and other professional fees and expenses) made by the Distribution Agent shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors.

G. Compliance with Tax Requirements

In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, Distribution Agent, and other applicable withholding and reporting agents shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions pursuant hereto shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, Distribution Agent, and other applicable withholding and reporting agents shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes, withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such distributions, or establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable and appropriate. The Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, Distribution Agent, and other applicable withholding agents reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support and other spousal awards, liens, and encumbrances. For tax purposes, distributions in full or partial satisfaction of Allowed Claims shall be allocated first to the principal amount of Allowed Claims, with any excess allocated to unpaid interest that accrued on such Claims.

Notwithstanding the above, each Holder of an Allowed Claim that is to receive a distribution under this Plan shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed on such Holder by any Governmental Unit, including income, withholding, and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution. The Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent have the right, but not the obligation, to not make a distribution until such Holder has made arrangements satisfactory to any issuing or distribution party for payment of any such tax obligations.

The Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent may require, as a condition to receipt of a distribution, that the Holder of an Allowed Claim provide any information necessary to allow the distributing party to comply with any such withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority. If the Reorganized Debtors or the Distribution Agent make such a request and the Holder fails to comply before the date that is 180 days after the request is made, the amount of such distribution shall irrevocably revert to the applicable Reorganized Debtor and any Claim in respect of such distribution shall be discharged and forever barred from assertion against such Reorganized Debtor or its respective property.

H. Surrender of Cancelled Instruments or Securities

On the Effective Date, each Holder of a certificate or instrument evidencing a Claim or an Equity Interest shall be deemed to have surrendered such certificate or instrument to the Distribution Agent. Such surrendered certificate or instrument shall be cancelled solely with respect to the Debtors, and such cancellation shall not alter the obligations or rights of any non-Debtor third parties vis-à-vis one another with respect to such certificate or instrument, including with respect to any indenture or agreement that governs the rights of the Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest, which shall continue in effect for purposes of allowing Holders to receive distributions under the Plan, charging liens, priority of payment, indemnification rights, and the other purposes as set forth in Article IV.K. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this paragraph shall not apply to certificates or instruments evidencing Allowed General Unsecured Claims (other than Unsecured Notes Claims).

I. Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties

1. Claims Payable by Insurance

No distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of an Allowed Claim that is payable under one of the Debtors' Insurance Policies until the Holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to such Insurance Policy.

2. Applicability of Insurance Policies

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Insurance Policy. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Cause of Action that the Debtors or any Entity may hold against any other Entity, including insurers under any policies of insurance, nor shall anything contained herein constitute or be deemed a waiver by such insurers of any defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such insurers.

ARTICLE VII.

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CONTINGENT, UNLIQUIDATED AND DISPUTED CLAIMS

A. Allowance of Claims and Interests

After the Effective Date, each of the Reorganized Debtors shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses the applicable Debtor had with respect to any Claim or Equity Interest immediately prior to the Effective Date (unless such Claim is deemed Allowed pursuant to this Plan or the Confirmation Order). This Article VII shall not apply to the Thirty Two Claim, which Thirty Two Claim shall be Allowed in full and will not be subject to any avoidance, reductions, set off, offset, recharacterization, subordination (whether equitable, contractual, or otherwise), counterclaims, cross-claims, defenses, disallowance, impairment, objection, or any other challenges under any applicable law or regulation by any person or Entity. All settled Claims approved prior to the Effective Date by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court under Bankruptcy Rule 9019 or otherwise shall be binding on all parties.

B. Claims Administration Responsibilities

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have the sole authority to (1) file, withdraw, or litigate to judgment, any objections to Claims or Equity Interests and (2) settle or compromise any Disputed Claim or Equity Interest without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court. For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, from and after the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses such Debtor had immediately prior to the Effective Date with respect to any Disputed Claim or Equity Interest, including the Causes of Action retained under the Plan.

C. Prosecution of Objections to Claims and Equity Interests

Before or after the Effective Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have the authority to File objections to Claims and Equity Interests (other than Claims or Equity Interests that are Allowed under this Plan) and settle, compromise, withdraw or litigate to judgment objections to any and all such Claims or Equity Interests, regardless of whether such Claims are in an Unimpaired Class or otherwise; provided, however, this provision shall not apply to Accrued Professional Compensation Claims, which may be objected to by any party-in-interest in these Chapter 11 Cases. From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have the sole authority to administer and adjust the Claims Register and their respective books and records to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

D. Estimation of Claims and Equity Interests

Before or after the Effective Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may (but are not required to) at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Disputed Claim or Equity Interest that is contingent or unliquidated under section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim or Equity Interest or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any such Claim or Equity Interest, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or Equity Interest or during the appeal relating to such objection. Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan, a Claim that has been expunged but that either is subject to appeal or has not been the subject of a Final Order shall be deemed to be estimated at zero ($0.00) dollars unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim or Equity Interest, that estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim or Equity Interest for all purposes under the Plan (including for purposes of distributions), and the relevant Reorganized Debtor may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such Claim or Equity Interest.

E. Deadline to File Objections to Claims

Any objections to Claims shall be Filed by no later than the Claims Objection Deadline; provided that nothing contained herein shall limit the Reorganized Debtor's right to object to Claims, if any, Filed or amended after the Claims Objection Deadline. Moreover, notwithstanding the expiration of the Claims Objection Deadline, the Reorganized Debtors shall continue to have the right to amend any claims or other objections and to File and prosecute supplemental objections and counterclaims to a Disputed Claim until such Disputed Claim is or becomes Allowed by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court.

F. Adjustment to Claims Without Objection

Any duplicate Claim or Equity Interest or any Claim or Equity Interest that has been paid, satisfied, amended, or superseded may be adjusted or expunged by the Reorganized Debtors without the Reorganized Debtors having to file an application, motion, complaint, objection, or any other legal proceeding seeking to object to such Claim or Equity Interest, and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

G. Disallowance of Certain Claims

Any Claims held by Entities from which property is recoverable under section 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that is a transferee of a transfer avoidable under section 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed disallowed under section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code unless expressly Allowed under the Plan, and Holders of such Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such Claims and Equity Interests until such time as such Causes of Action against that Entity have been settled or a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court with respect thereto has been entered and all sums due, if any, to the Debtors by that Entity have been turned over or paid to the Reorganized Debtors.

H. No Distributions Pending Allowance

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any portion of a Claim or Equity Interest is a Disputed Claim or Equity Interest, as applicable, no payment or distribution provided hereunder shall be made on account of such Claim or Equity Interest unless and until such Disputed Claim or Equity Interest becomes an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest.

I. Distributions After Allowance

To the extent that a Disputed Claim or Equity Interest ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest, distributions (if any) shall be made to the Holder of such Allowed Claim or Equity Interest in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing any Disputed Claim or Equity Interest becomes a Final Order, the Distribution Agent shall provide to the Holder of such Claim or Equity Interest the distribution (if any) to which such Holder is entitled under the Plan as of the Effective Date, without any interest to be paid on account of such Claim or Equity Interest.

J. No Interest

Interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Disputed Claim with respect to the period from the Effective Date to the date a final distribution is made on account of such Disputed Claim if and when such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

RELEASE, DISCHARGE, INJUNCTION AND RELATED PROVISIONS

A. General

Under section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, and in consideration for the classification, distributions, releases and other benefits provided under this Plan, the Settlement Stipulation and the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation, upon the Effective Date, the provisions of this Plan, the Settlement Stipulation and the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation shall constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all Claims and Equity Interests and controversies resolved under this Plan, the Settlement Stipulation and the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation. The entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court's approval of the compromise or settlement of all such Claims, Equity Interests and controversies, as well as a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that any such compromise or settlement is in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, and any Holders of Claims and Equity Interests and is fair, equitable and reasonable.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the allowance, classification and treatment of all Allowed Claims and Equity Interests and their respective distributions (if any) and treatments hereunder, takes into account the relative priority and rights of the Claims and the Equity Interests in each Class in connection with any contractual, legal and equitable subordination rights relating thereto whether arising under general principles of equitable subordination, section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. As of the Effective Date, any and all contractual, legal and equitable subordination rights, whether arising under general principles of equitable subordination, section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, relating to the allowance, classification and treatment of all Allowed Claims and Equity Interests and their respective distributions (if any) and treatments hereunder, are settled, compromised, terminated and released pursuant hereto; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall preclude any Person or Entity from exercising their rights under and consistent with the terms of this Plan and the contracts, instruments, releases, indentures, and other agreements or documents delivered under or in connection with this Plan.

B. Release of Claims and Causes of Action

1. Release by the Debtors and Their Estates.

Under section 1123(b) and any other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan, the Settlement Stipulation and the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation, effective as of the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration provided by each of the Released Parties, the adequacy and sufficiency of which is hereby confirmed, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, in their respective individual capacities and as debtors in possession, and on behalf of themselves and their respective Estates, including, without limitation, any successor to the Debtors or any Estate representative appointed or selected under section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code (collectively, the "Debtor Releasing Parties") and their respective assets and properties will be deemed to have conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever provided a full discharge, waiver and release to each of the Released Parties (and each such Released Party so released shall be deemed forever released, waived and discharged by the Debtor Releasing Parties) (the "Debtor Release" ) from 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, whether directly or derivatively held, existing as of the Effective Date or thereafter arising, in law, at equity or otherwise, 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 existing or taking place prior to or on the Effective Date arising from or related in any way in whole or in part to any of (i) the Debtors, the Chapter 11 Cases, the marketing of any of the Debtors' assets, the Disclosure Statement, the Settlement Stipulation, the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation, this Plan and the Restructuring Documents, (ii) the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Equity Interest that is treated in this Plan, (iii) the business or contractual arrangements between any Debtor and any Released Parties, (iv) the negotiation, formulation or preparation of this Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Settlement Stipulation, the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation, the Restructuring Documents, or related agreements, instruments or other documents, (v) the restructuring of Claims or Equity Interests prior to or during the Chapter 11 Cases, (vi) the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any Claim or Equity Interest of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, and/or (vii) the Confirmation or Consummation of this Plan or the solicitation of votes on this Plan that such Debtor Releasing Party 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 or in the name of, any Debtor, its respective Estate or any Reorganized Debtor (whether directly or derivatively) against any of the Released Parties; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Debtor Release shall not operate to waive, release or otherwise impair: (i) any Causes of Action arising from willful misconduct, actual fraud, or gross negligence of such applicable Released Party as determined by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction and/or (ii) the rights of such Debtor Releasing Party to enforce this Plan and the contracts, instruments, releases, indentures, and other agreements or documents delivered under or in connection with this Plan or assumed under this Plan or assumed under Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court.

2. Release by Third Parties.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan, the Settlement Stipulation and the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation, effective as of the Effective Date, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, for good and valuable consideration provided by each of the Released Parties, the adequacy and sufficiency of which is hereby confirmed, and without limiting or otherwise modifying the scope of the Debtor Release provided by the Debtor Releasing Parties above, each Non-Debtor Releasing Party (together with the Debtor Releasing Parties, the "Releasing Parties" ) will be deemed to have conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever provided a full discharge, waiver and release to each of the Released Parties (and each such Released Party so released shall be deemed forever released, waived and discharged by the Non-Debtor Releasing Parties) (the "Third Party Release" ) from 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, whether directly or derivatively held, existing as of the Effective Date or thereafter arising, in law, at equity or otherwise, 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 existing or taking place prior to or on the Effective Date arising from or related in any way in whole or in part to any of (i) the Debtors, the Chapter 11 Cases, the marketing of any of the Debtors' assets, the Disclosure Statement, this Plan, the Settlement Stipulation, the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation and the Restructuring Documents, (ii) the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Equity Interest that is treated in this Plan, (iii) the business or contractual arrangements between any Debtor and any Released Parties, (iv) the negotiation, formulation or preparation of this Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Settlement Stipulation, the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation, the Restructuring Documents, or related agreements, instruments or other documents, (v) the restructuring of Claims or Equity Interests prior to or during the Chapter 11 Cases, (vi) the purchase, sale or rescission of the purchase or sale of any Claim or Equity Interest of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, and/or (vii) the Confirmation or Consummation of this Plan or the solicitation of votes on this Plan that such Non-Debtor Releasing Party would have been legally entitled to assert (whether individually or collectively) against any of the Released Parties; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Third Party Release shall not operate to waive, release or otherwise impair: (i) any Causes of Action arising from willful misconduct, actual fraud, or gross negligence of such applicable Released Party as determined by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) any of the indebtedness and obligations of the Debtors and/or the Reorganized Debtors incurred under this Plan and the contracts, instruments, releases, indentures, and other agreements and documents delivered under or in connection with this Plan or assumed under this Plan or assumed under Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court; (iii) the rights of such Non-Debtor Releasing Party to enforce this Plan and the contracts, instruments, releases, indentures, and other agreements and documents delivered under or in connection with this Plan or assumed under this Plan or assumed under Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court; and/or (iv) any objections with respect to any Retained Professional's final fee application or Accrued Professional Compensation Claims in these Chapter 11 Cases.

The foregoing release shall be effective as of the Effective Date without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or the vote, consent, authorization or approval of any Person and the Confirmation Order will 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 under this Third Party Release.

Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court's approval of the Third Party Release, which includes by reference each of the related provisions and definitions contained herein, and further, shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court's finding that the Third Party Release is: (i) in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Released Parties; (ii) a good faith settlement and compromise of the Claims released by the Third Party Release; (iii) in the best interest of the Debtors and all Holders of Claims and Equity Interests; (iv) fair, equitable and reasonable; and (v) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan or otherwise, any agreement of the Creditors' Committee, Equity Committee, the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, or Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc. to not "opt out" of the voluntary releases contained in this Plan shall be immediately and automatically, without further action of any party, revoked and changed to be "opt out" in the event that either (a) the Plan has been amended, modified, or supplemented in a manner inconsistent with the Settlement Stipulation (absent the consent of each of the Creditors' Committee, the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee and Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc.) or with respect to the Equity Committee, the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation, or (b) the Settlement Stipulation or with respect to the Equity Committee, the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation is no longer in effect.

C. Waiver of Statutory Limitations on Releases

Each of the Releasing Parties in each of the releases contained above expressly acknowledges that although ordinarily a general release may not extend to Claims which the Releasing Party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor, which if known by it may have materially affected its settlement with the party released, they have carefully considered and taken into account in determining to enter into the above releases the possible existence of such unknown losses or claims. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Releasing Party expressly waives any and all rights conferred upon it by any statute or rule of law which provides that a release does not extend to claims which the claimant does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of providing the release, which if known by it may have materially affected its settlement with the Released Party. The releases contained in this Plan are effective regardless of whether those released matters are presently known, unknown, suspected or unsuspected, foreseen or unforeseen.

D. Discharge of Claims and Equity Interests

To the fullest extent provided under section 1141(d)(1)(A) and other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise expressly provided by this Plan or the Confirmation Order, effective as of the Effective Date, all consideration distributed under this Plan shall be in exchange for, and in complete satisfaction, settlement, discharge, and release of, all Claims, Equity Interests and Causes of Action of any kind or nature whatsoever against the Debtors or any of their respective assets or properties, including any interest accrued on such Claims or Equity Interests from and after the Petition Date, and regardless of whether any property shall have been abandoned by order of the Bankruptcy Court, distributed or retained under this Plan on account of such Claims, Equity Interests or Causes of Action.

Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Plan or the Confirmation Order, upon the Effective Date, the Debtors and their Estates shall be deemed discharged and released under and to the fullest extent provided under sections 524 and 1141(d)(1)(A) and other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code from any and all Claims of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, but not limited to, demands and liabilities that arose before the Confirmation Date, and all debts of the kind specified in sections 502(g), 502(h), or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code. Such discharge shall void any judgment obtained against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors at any time, to the extent that such judgment relates to a discharged Claim.

E. Exculpation

Effective as of the Effective Date, the Exculpated Parties shall neither have nor incur any liability to any Entity for any claims or Causes of Action arising prior to or on the Effective Date for any act taken or omitted to be taken in connection with, or related to, formulating, negotiating, preparing, disseminating, implementing, administering, confirming or effecting the Confirmation or Consummation of this Plan, the Disclosure Statement, Settlement Stipulation, the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation, the Restructuring Documents or any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document created or entered into in connection with this Plan or any other postpetition act taken or omitted to be taken in connection with the restructuring of the Debtors, the approval of the Settlement Stipulation, the Equity Committee Settlement Stipulation, the Disclosure Statement or Confirmation or Consummation of this Plan; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this exculpation shall not operate to waive, release or otherwise impair: (i) any Causes of Action expressly set forth in and preserved by this Plan or the Plan Supplement; (ii) any Causes of Action arising from willful misconduct, actual fraud, or gross negligence of such applicable Exculpated Party as determined by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction; (iii) any of the indebtedness or obligations of the Debtors and/or the Reorganized Debtors incurred under this Plan and the contracts, instruments, releases, indentures, and other agreements and documents delivered under or in connection with the Plan or assumed under this Plan or assumed under Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (iv) the rights of any Entity to enforce this Plan and the contracts, instruments, releases, indentures, and other agreements or documents delivered under or in connection with this Plan or assumed under this Plan or assumed under Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court; and/or (v) any objections with respect to any Retained Professional's final fee application or Accrued Professional Compensation Claims in these Chapter 11 Cases; provided, further, that each Exculpated Party shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of counsel concerning its respective duties under, or in connection with, the above-referenced documents, actions or inactions.

The foregoing exculpation shall be effective as of the Effective Date without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or the vote, consent, authorization or approval of any Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Article IX.E shall or shall be deemed to prohibit the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors from asserting and enforcing any claims, obligations, suits, judgments, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action or liabilities they may have against any Person that is based upon an alleged breach of a confidentiality or non-compete obligation owed to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, in each case unless otherwise expressly provided for in this Plan.

F. Preservation of Causes of Action

1. Maintenance of Causes of Action

Except as otherwise provided in this Article IX or elsewhere in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall retain all rights to commence, pursue, litigate or settle, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action, whether existing as of the Petition Date or thereafter arising, in any court or other tribunal including, without limitation, in an adversary proceeding Filed in the Chapter 11 Cases; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to include any claims or Causes of Action (i) released under Article IX.B. 1 hereof or (ii) exculpated under Article IX.E hereof to the extent of any such exculpation. The Reorganized Debtors, as the successors-in-interest to the Debtors and the Estates, may, and shall have the exclusive right to, enforce, sue on, settle, compromise, transfer or assign (or decline to do any of the foregoing) any or all of such Causes of Action, in each case solely to the extent of the Debtors' or their Estates' interest therein, without notice to or approval from the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reorganized Debtors shall retain all claims and defenses to any Allowed Claims that are Reinstated or Unimpaired pursuant to the Plan. A further description of the retained causes of action shall be filed with the Plan Supplement.

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

The Debtors expressly reserve all Causes of Action for later adjudication by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (including, without limitation, Causes of Action not specifically identified or of which the Debtors may presently be unaware or which may arise or exist by reason of additional facts or circumstances unknown to the Debtors at this time or facts or circumstances that may change or be different from those the Debtors now believe to exist) 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 Confirmation or Consummation of this Plan based on the Disclosure Statement, this Plan or the Confirmation Order, except in each case where such Causes of Action have been expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised or settled in this Plan, the Confirmation Order or any other Final Order, including, without limitation or any other claims or Causes of Action (i) released under Article IX.B.1 hereof or (ii) exculpated under Article IX.E hereof to the extent of any such exculpation. In addition, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve the right to pursue or adopt any claims alleged in any lawsuit in which any of the Debtors are a plaintiff, defendant or an interested party, against any Entity, including, without limitation, the plaintiffs or co-defendants in such lawsuits.

ALL INJUNCTIONS OR STAYS PROVIDED FOR IN THE CHAPTER 11 CASES UNDER SECTION 105 OR SECTION 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.

ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE, AND EFFECTIVE AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE, THIS PLAN SHALL BIND, AND SHALL BE DEEMED BINDING UPON, THE DEBTORS, THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS, ANY AND ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AGAINST AND EQUITY INTERESTS IN THE DEBTORS, ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES THAT ARE PARTIES TO OR ARE SUBJECT TO THE SETTLEMENTS, COMPROMISES, RELEASES, DISCHARGES, AND INJUNCTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS PLAN, EACH PERSON ACQUIRING PROPERTY UNDER THIS PLAN, ANY AND ALL NON-DEBTOR PARTIES TO EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES WITH THE DEBTORS AND THE RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS OF EACH OF THE FOREGOING, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND NOTWITHSTANDING WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PERSON OR ENTITY (I) WILL RECEIVE OR RETAIN ANY PROPERTY, OR INTEREST IN PROPERTY, UNDER THIS PLAN, (II) HAS FILED A PROOF OF CLAIM OR INTEREST IN THE CHAPTER 11 CASES OR (III) FAILED TO VOTE TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THIS PLAN, AFFIRMATIVELY VOTED TO REJECT THIS PLAN OR IS CONCLUSIVELY PRESUMED TO REJECT THIS PLAN.

J. Integral Part of Plan

Each of the provisions set forth in this Plan with respect to the settlement, release, discharge, exculpation, and injunction of, for or with respect to Claims and/or Causes of Action are an integral part of this Plan and essential to its implementation.

K. Preservation of Privilege and Defenses

No action taken by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors in connection with this Plan shall be (or be deemed to be) a waiver of any privilege or immunity of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, including any attorney-client privilege or work-product privilege attaching to any documents or communications (whether written or oral). The Confirmation Order shall provide that, notwithstanding the Reorganized Debtors' providing any privileged information to the Distribution Agent or any party or person associated with the Distribution Agent, such privileged information shall be without waiver in recognition of the joint and/or successorship interest in prosecuting any Claim or Cause of Action on behalf of the Estates and shall remain privileged. The Debtors (or the Reorganized Debtors) retain the right to waive their own privileges. The Distribution Agent shall have no right to any privileged information or analysis of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors.

ARTICLE X.

I. Severability

If, prior to the Confirmation Date, any term or provision of this Plan is determined by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court 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 this Plan 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 this Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is valid and enforceable under its terms.

J. Service of Documents

Any notice, direction or other communication given to the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors regarding the matters contemplated by this Plan (each, a "Notice") must be in writing, sent by personal delivery, electronic mail, or courier and addressed as follows:

with a copy to:

A Notice is deemed to be given and received (a) if sent by personal delivery or courier, on the date of delivery if it is a Business Day and the delivery was made prior to 4:00 p.m. (local time in place of receipt) and otherwise on the next Business Day, or (b) if sent by electronic mail, when the sender receives an email from the recipient acknowledging receipt, provided that an automatic "read receipt" does not constitute acknowledgment of an email for purposes of this Article XII.J. Any party may change its address for service from time to time by providing a Notice in accordance with the foregoing. Any element of a party's address that is not specifically changed in a Notice will be assumed not to be changed. Sending a copy of a Notice to a party's legal counsel as contemplated above is for information purposes only and does not constitute delivery of the Notice to that party. The failure to send a copy of a Notice to legal counsel does not invalidate delivery of that Notice to a party.

K. Exemption from Transfer Taxes Under Section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code

Under section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any issuance, transfer, or exchange of a security, or the making or delivery of an instrument of transfer of property, under or in connection with this Plan, the Restructuring Documents to the extent consummated substantially in connection with this Plan, shall not be subject to any Stamp or Similar Tax or governmental assessment in the United States or by any other Governmental Unit, and the Confirmation Order shall direct the appropriate federal, state or local (domestic or foreign) governmental officials or agents to forgo the collection of any such Stamp or Similar Tax or governmental assessment and to accept for filing and recordation instruments or other documents evidencing such action or event without the payment of any such Stamp or Similar Tax or governmental assessment.

O. No Strict Construction

This Plan is the product of extensive discussions and negotiations between and among, inter alia, the Debtors and their respective professionals. Each of the foregoing was represented by counsel of its choice who either participated in the formulation and documentation of, or was afforded the opportunity to review and provide comments on, this Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Exhibits and the Plan Schedules, and the agreements and documents ancillary or related thereto. Accordingly, unless explicitly indicated otherwise, the general rule of contract construction known as "contra proferentem" or other rule of strict construction shall not apply to the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Exhibits or the Plan Schedules, or the documents ancillary and related thereto.
