To the extent any of the following findings of facts 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.

D. Disclosure Statement. On December 13, 2019, the Debtors filed their original disclosure statement, which put parties on notice that the Debtors would seek authority in connection with confirmation of the Plan to sell substantially all of the assets of the Debtors to a third party ("Sale").
E. Sale of Assets. On December 31, 2019, the Debtors filed the Disclosure Statement, which included the bidding procedures as well as a form of sale agreement (attached as Exhibit B) ("APA") for the purchase of substantially all the assets of Cinco Ranch ("Cinco Ranch Assets") as identified in the APA for Cinco Ranch ("Cinco Ranch APA") and for the purchase of substantially all the assets of Pearland ("Pearland Assets") as identified in the APA for Pearland ("Pearland APA"), and such sale of the Cinco Ranch Assets and the sale of the Pearland Assets were to be approved under all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Sections 105(a), 363(b), 363(f), 363(m), 365(a), 365(b), and 365(f), 1123 and/or 1129. The Disclosure Statement further put parties on notice that SH1 Houston LLC ("SH1"), the Debtors' secured lender, was allowed to participate in the Sale as a Qualified Bidder and credit bid up to the full amount of its Secured Claim (as defined in the Plan).
F. Disclosure Statement Order. On December 31, 2019, the Court entered an order conditionally approving the Disclosure Statement [Docket No. 526] in accordance with Section 105(d)(2)(vi) of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Disclosure Statement Order"), and establishing deadlines for the solicitation of votes for the confirmation of the Plan. The Disclosure Statement Order also conditionally approved the bid procedures included in the Disclosure Statement.
G. Notice of Bid Deadlines. On January 6, 2020, the Debtors filed a Notice of Supplement, which included the deadlines to submit bids in accordance with the bid procedures.
H. Adequacy of the Disclosure Statement. The information contained in the Disclosure Statement contained extensive material information regarding the Debtors so that parties entitled to vote on the Plan could make informed decisions regarding the Plan. Additionally, the Disclosure Statement contains adequate information within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code Section 1125 and complies with any additional requirements of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules, and applicable non-bankruptcy law. The Debtors' use of the Disclosure statement to solicit votes to accept or reject the Plan was authorized by the Disclosure Statement Order and was appropriate. Solicitation of votes on the Plan was in compliance with the Disclosure Statement Order.
I. Solicitation. Votes for acceptance or rejection of the Plan were solicited in good faith and in compliance with Sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules 3017 and 3018, the Disclosure Statement, the Disclosure Statement Order, all other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and all other applicable rules, laws, and regulations.
J. Voting. As set forth in the record at the Confirmation Hearing, and by certification of John Burlacu, each impaired Class of Claims and Interests either (a) voted to accept the Plan under Section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code and for purposes of Section 1129(a)(8)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code; or (b) is not impaired under Section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code and for the purposes of Section 1129(a)(8)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code. Voting on the Plan and treatment thereunder are reflected on the Declaration of John Burlacu, Senior Director at Donlin Recano & Company, Inc. Regarding the Tabulation of Ballots Accepting or Rejecting the Debtors' First Amended Joint Chapter II Plan of Liquidation filed by the Debtors on February 18, 2020 [Docket No. 573]. The procedure by which ballots were received and tabulated was fair, properly conducted, and in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, Local Rules, the Disclosure Statement and the Disclosure Statement Order.
K. Successful Bidder. SH1 ("Buyer")2 was the only party to submit a qualifying bid for Cinco Ranch Assets and a qualifying bid for the Pearland Assets, and conditioned its bids on the purchase of the Cinco Ranch Assets and the Pearland Assets free and clear of any and all liens, claims, encumbrances, and other interests. SH1 was declared the successful bidder in accordance with the Bid Procedures. The winning bid was a credit bid in the amount of $4,972,333 plus cash equal to an amount necessary to satisfy all Allowed Administrative Expense Claims, all Secured Tax Claims, all Priority Tax Claims, the Allowed Administrative Convenience Claims, and $7,500 for funding the Liquidating Trust, estimated to be approximately $230,000 ("Cinco Ranch Proceeds") and $3,799,667 plus cash equal to an amount necessary to satisfy all Allowed Administrative Expense Claims, all Secured Tax Claims, all Priority Tax Claims, the Allowed Administrative Convenience Claims, and $7,500 for funding the Liquidating Trust, estimated to be approximately $230,000 ("Pearland Proceeds").
L. Compliance with the Bid Procedures. The Debtors and the Buyer have complied with the Bid Procedures in all respects.
M. Implementation of the Sale. The Plan implements the sale of the Cinco Ranch Assets and the Pearland Assets to the Buyer and the receipt of the Cinco Ranch Proceeds and Pearland Proceeds, as applicable, shall fund the Plan payments for each respective debtor case.
N. Settlement of TLG Administrative Expense Claim. On August 13, 2019, TLG filed its Application for Administrative Expense Claims (the "TLG Admin Claim") to which certain parties, including the Debtors, objected. In full settlement and release of the TLG Admin Claim and any claims related thereto, as well as the resolution of any objection TLG had to the Debtors' plan confirmation, the Debtors and TLG, as well as SH1 and other parties, have entered into that certain Settlement Agreement that is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by reference, whereby the TLG Admin Claim will be withdrawn. The terms of the Settlement Agreement are hereby approved.
O. Modifications to the Plan. The modifications and amendments in the Plan set forth on the record at the Confirmation Hearing, or made by this Confirmation Order, do not materially and adversely affect or change the treatment of any creditor who has not accepted such modifications. Accordingly, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3019, such modifications do not require additional disclosure under Section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code, or re-solicitation of acceptances or rejections under Section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, nor do they require that holders of Claims not accepting such modifications be afforded an opportunity to change previously cast acceptances or rejection of the Plan. Disclosure of the modifications on the record at the Confirmation Hearing constitutes due and sufficient notice thereof under the circumstances of these Cases. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019, all holders of Claims that have accepted or are conclusively deemed to have accepted the Plan are deemed to have accepted such modifications to the Plan.
P. Bankruptcy Rule 3016. In accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a), the Plan is dated and identifies the Debtors as proponents of the Plan. The Debtors appropriately filed the Disclosure Statement and the Plan with the Court, thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Rule 3016(b). Any discharge, release, injunction and exculpation provisions of the Plan are set forth in specific and conspicuous language, thereby complying with Bankruptcy Rule 3016(c).
Q. Liquidating Trustee. On the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trustee shall be appointed. On February 12, 2020, the Debtors designated Karen G. Nicolaou as the Liquidating Trustee [Docket No. 564].
R. Compliance with Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(1). The Plan complies with any and all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules, thereby satisfying Section 1129(a)(1). The Court makes further findings below that the Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules. The omission or exclusion of a specific finding herein does not constitute a finding that the Debtors have not complied with any and all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules:
S. Proper Classification Under Sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1). In addition to Administrative Expense Claims and Priority Tax Claims, which need not be classified, the Plan designates seven (7) Classes of Claims (Classes 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, and 3) against the each of the Debtors. The Claims placed in each Class are substantially similar to other Claims in each such Class, and such classification is therefore consistent with Bankruptcy Code Section 1122. Valid business, factual, and legal reasons exist for separately classifying the various Classes of Claims created under the Plan, and such Classes and the Plan's treatment thereof do not unfairly discriminate between holders in each Class of Claims. The Plan satisfies Bankruptcy Code Sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1).
T. Specification of Classes Not Impaired under the Plan Under Section 1123(a)(2). Article 3 of the Plan specifies each particular Class of Claims or Interest that is not impaired under the Plan. The Plan satisfies Bankruptcy Code Section 1123(a)(2).
U. Specified Treatment of Impaired Classes — Section 1123(a)(3). Article 5 of the Plan specifies the treatment of the impaired Classes of Claims thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Code Section 1123(a)(3).
V. No Discrimination — Section 1123(a)(4). The Plan either provides the same treatment for each Claim in each respective Class or the holder of a particular Claim or Interest has agreed to a less favorable treatment of its particular Claim or Interest, thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Code Section 1123(a)(4).
W. Implementation of the Plan — Section 1123(a)(5). Article 6 of the Plan provides adequate and proper means for implementing the Plan. Article 6 establishes the procedures for the sale of each Debtor's Assets to the Buyer. Article 6 also sets forth the establishment of the Liquidating Trust upon the Effective Date. The Liquidating Trustee will be authorized to pursue any and all Causes of Action on behalf of the Debtors and their Estates, including Chapter 5 Causes of Action.
X. Charters of the Debtors — Section 1123(a)(6). The Plan is a liquidating plan. Equity holders are to receive no distributions under this Plan and Equity Interest Holders' equity interests in the Debtors equaling the total amount of such interests in each of the Debtors as of the Petition Date shall be extinguished as of the Effective Date. The Court therefore finds and concludes that Section 1123(a)(6) is inapplicable.
Y. Selection of Officers and Directors — Section 1123(a)(7). The Plan as a liquidation plan provides for the designation of a Liquidating Trustee to liquidate remaining assets, make distribution to creditors, and wind up the Debtors' business. The Court finds the designation of a Liquidating Trustee consistent with the interests of holders of Claims or Interests against the Debtors.
Z. Additional Plan Provisions — Section 1123(b). The Plan's provisions are appropriate and not inconsistent with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
AA. Compliance with Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(2). The Debtors have complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(2). Specifically, the Debtors offered the testimony stating that the Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
BB. Plan Proposed in Good Faith — Section 1129(a)(3). The Debtors have proposed the Plan in good faith and not by means forbidden by law, thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(3). The Court has examined the totality of the circumstances surrounding the formulation of the Plan. Based on the evidence presented at the Confirmation Hearing, the Court finds and concludes that the Plan has been proposed with the legitimate and honest purpose of liquidating the Debtors' assets in a fashion to maximize the recovery to the Debtors' creditors in accordance with the priorities set forth in the Bankruptcy Code.
CC. Payment for Services or Costs and Expenses — Section 1129(a)(4). Any payments made or to be made by the Debtors for services or for costs and expenses in connection with these Cases have been approved by, or are subject to the approval of, the Court as reasonable, thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(4).
DD. Identification of Directors, Officers, and Insiders — Section 1129(a)(5). The Plan proposes the appointment of the Liquidating Trustee. The identity of the proposed Liquidating Trustee was made known by the Debtors on February 12, 2020 [Docket No. 564]. The Plan does not propose the retention or employment of an insider of the Debtors. Therefore Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(5) has been satisfied.
EE. No Rate Changes — Section 1129(a)(6). The Plan does not provide for the change of any rate that is within the jurisdiction of any governmental regulatory commission after the occurrence of the Effective Date. Therefore, Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(6) is inapplicable.
FF. Best Interest of Creditors — Section 1129(a)(7). As set forth in the Liquidation Analysis and by evidence presented at the Confirmation Hearing, the "best interest" test is satisfied as to all Impaired Classes of Claims and Interests that have not accepted the Plan. As set forth in the Liquidation Analysis, a liquidation under Chapter 7 would adversely affect the ultimate proceeds available for distribution to holders of the Secured Claims due to: (i) increased costs, including administrative fees and costs payable to the chapter 7 trustee and professional advisors of the trustee; (ii) the inevitable foreclosure by SH1 on their secured debt, resulting in no cash available to satisfy any Administrative Claims; and (iii) limitations of Section 721 of the Bankruptcy Code. Confirmation of the Plan provides each rejecting creditor and interest holder with a recovery that is not less than such holder would receive in a Chapter 7 liquidation of the Debtors' assets.
GG. Acceptance by Impaired Classes — Section 1129(a)(8). Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code has been satisfied.
HH. Treatment of Administrative, Other Priority Claims and Priority Tax Claims — Section 1129(a)(9). Consistent with Section 1129(a)(9)(A), Article 4 of the Plan provides that each holder of an Allowed Administrative Expense Claim shall be paid the total amount of such holder's Allowed Administrative Expense Claim as soon as reasonably practicable after the later of (a) the Effective Date, (b) payment in full of the DIP Administrative Claim, (c) the allowance of such Administrative Expense Claim, and (d) such other date agreed upon in writing by the applicable Debtor or the Liquidating Debtor and the holder of such Allowed Administrative Expense Claim. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Allowed Professional Claims shall be paid pursuant to Article 4 of the Plan. Consistent with Section 1129(a)(9)(C), Section 4.2 of the Plan provides that each holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim shall receive all Distributions under the Plan after the payment of the DIP Administrative Claim until such time as Allowed Priority Tax Claims are paid in full. No holder of an Allowed Administrative Expense Claim, Priority Tax Claim, or Priority Non-Tax Claim has objected to this treatment under the Plan and if they have, such objections have been withdrawn.
II. Acceptance by Impaired Class — Section 1129(a)(10). At least one Class of Claims that is impaired under the Plan has accepted the Plan thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(10).
JJ. Feasibility — Section 1129(a)(11). The Plan is a liquidating plan and the funding of which is dependent upon the successful liquidation of the Debtors' assets, and thus the feasibility requirement of Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(11) is satisfied.
KK. Payment of Fees — Section 1129(a)(12). All fees payable under 28 U.S.C. §1930 on or before the Effective Date, as determined by the Court, have been paid or will be paid on the Effective Date pursuant to the Plan thus satisfying the requirements of Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(12).
LL. Continuation of Retiree Benefits — Section 1129(a)(13). The Debtors do not have any retiree benefits to be continued under the Plan. Thus, Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(13) is not applicable.
MM. Domestic Support — Section 1129(a)(14). The Debtors are not required by a judicial or administrative order, or by statute, to pay a domestic support obligation. Thus, Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(14) is not applicable.
NN. Individual Debtor Cases — Section 1129(a)(15). The Debtors are not individual debtors and thus Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(15) is not applicable.
OO. Transfers of Property — Section 1129(a)(16). All transfers of property under the Plan will be made in accordance with any applicable provisions of non-bankruptcy law that govern the transfer of property by a corporation or trust that is not a moneyed, business, or commercial corporation or trust. Thus Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(16) is satisfied.
PP. Only Plan — Section 1129(c). The Plan is the only plan that has been filed in these Chapter 11 Cases and it has been found to satisfy the requirements of subsections (a) and (b) of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, the requirements of section 1129(c) of the Bankruptcy Code have been satisfied.
QQ. Not for Tax Avoidance — Section 1129(d). No party in interest has requested that the Court deny Confirmation of the Plan on grounds that the principal purpose of the Plan is the avoidance of taxes or the avoidance of the application of section 5 of the Securities Act, and the principal purpose of the Plan is not such avoidance. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.
RR. Satisfaction of Confirmation Requirements. The Plan satisfies the requirements of confirmation set forth in Bankruptcy Code Section 1129.
SS. Implementation of the Plan. Article 6 of the Plan provides the means for implementing the Plan. The provisions of Article 6 of the Plan are consistent with and permissible under Section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code and are consistent with the interests of Creditors, holders of Interest, and public policy.
TT. Preservation of Causes of Action. The claims and Causes of Action referenced or listed in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, and Article 3, Section E "Disposition of Causes of Action" of the Disclosure Statement are hereby specifically and unequivocally reserved and retained for the prosecution, enforcement, and pursuit by the Debtors and the Liquidating Trustee, who is designated as the representative of the Liquidating Debtors' Estates for such purposes, pursuant to Section 1123(b)(3)(B).
UU. Releases, Exculpations, and Injunctions. Any releases, exculpations, and injunctions provided in the Plan (a) are within the jurisdiction of the Court under 28 U.S.C. § 1334; (b) are the product of good faith, arm's-length negotiations, (c) are integral elements of the global settlement embodied in the Plan and are essential to the Plan's implementation, (d) confer material benefit on, and are in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estate and Creditors; and (e) are consistent with Sections 105, 524, 1123, 1129, and 1141 and other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

5. Vesting of Cinco Ranch Assets.
a. The Cinco Ranch APA is approved, and Cinco Ranch is authorized and directed to sell the Cinco Ranch Assets to the Buyer and otherwise consummate the transactions contemplated by the Cinco Ranch APA. Except as otherwise provided in the Cinco Ranch APA and this Confirmation Order, upon the Closing, the Cinco Ranch Assets as set forth in the Cinco Ranch APA shall vest in Buyer free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances, or other interests claimed or held by any party (other than Buyer) in accordance with sections 363(f), 365 and/or 1123 and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, which liens, claims, encumbrances, or other interests will attach to the Cinco Ranch Proceeds with the same validity, priority, force and effect and subject to the same defenses as existed prior to the Closing date.

b. The Buyer is a "good faith" Buyer within the meaning of Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code, and therefore, is entitled to all of the protections afforded thereby. In the absence of a stay pending appeal of this Order, if all or any of the provisions of this Order are hereafter reversed or modified on appeal, such reversal or modification shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any sale, transfer or assignment authorized by this Order, specifically including, the Sale of the Cinco Ranch Assets to the Buyer under the Cinco Ranch APA, and notwithstanding any reversal or modification on appeal, any sale transfer, or assignment, specifically including the Sale of the Cinco Ranch Assets to the Buyer under the Cinco Ranch APA, shall be governed in all respects by the original provisions of this Order.

With respect to the Tax Authorities' pre-petition secured claims for ad valorem property taxes for tax years 2018 and 2019: To the extent such claims are allowed, the Debtors shall pay the Tax Authorities' pre-petition claims with interest from the petition date through the Effective Date and from the Effective Date through the date of payment in full at the applicable state statutory rate of 1% per month pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 506(b), 511, and 1129.

These payments shall commence no later than the first day of the first month which is thirty (30) days after the entry of the Confirmation Order.

At the closing of the sale of the Debtors' property, the Tax Authorities shall receive payment in full from the sale proceeds, with the liens that secure all amounts that are not paid at the sale closing remaining attached to the property sold. In event of a credit bid, the liens that secure all amounts owed shall remain attached to the assets and become the responsibility of the creditor.

Further, nothing in the Plan or this Order or related documents authorizes the transfer or assignment of any governmental (a) license, (b) permit, (c) registration, (d) authorization or (e) approval, or the discontinuation of any obligation thereunder, without compliance with all applicable legal requirements and approvals under police or regulatory law. Nothing in the Plan or this Order shall relieve any entity from any obligation to address or comply with information requests or inquiries from any Governmental Unit. Nothing in the Plan or this Order shall affect any setoff or recoupment rights of any Governmental Unit.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan and this Confirmation Order, the Liquidating Trustee's right to commence, pursue, prosecute, enforce, or settle such Causes of Action on behalf of the Liquidating Debtors shall be, and hereby is, preserved.
(b) No Person or Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan or the Disclosure Statement to any Cause of Action against it as any indication that the Debtors, or the Liquidating Trustee on behalf of the Liquidating Debtors, will not pursue all available Causes of Action. The Debtors and the Liquidating Trustee on behalf of the Liquidating Debtors' Estates expressly reserve, specifically and unequivocally, all rights to prosecute and enforce and all Causes of Action against any Person or Entity, except as otherwise specifically and expressly provided in the Plan.
