FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW REGARDING CONFIRMATION OF TRUSTEE'S PLAN OF REORGANIZATION DATED MAY 30, 2013

R. KIMBALL MOSIER, Bankruptcy Judge.

The Trustee's Plan of Reorganization dated April 23, 2013 (the "April 23 Plan")(docket no. 663),1 came on for confirmation hearing as scheduled on Thursday, May 30, 2013. Appearances of counsel were made as noted on the record of the hearing.

At the hearing, counsel for the Trustee announced that the Trustee had agreed with the United States Internal Revenue Service to modify the April 23 Plan to enlarge the period of time for taxing authorities to file Administrative Expense Claims. The modification to the April 23 Plan is in Section 13.2. This Section, as modified, now reads as follows (the modification to this Section is marked):

13.2 Administrative Expense Claims Bar Date. Unpaid Administrative Expense Claims arising prior to the Effective Date (other than ordinary course Administrative Expense Claims and fees of the United States Trustee) shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, except that taxing authorities this period shall have two hundred ten (210) days after the Effective Date to file Administrative Expense Claims, or be forever barred from receiving any distribution under the Plan. Professionals shall file final fee applications for Administrative Expense Claims arising prior to the Effective Date by this date to meet this requirement.

The April 23 Plan was not otherwise modified. The April 23 Plan as modified is entitled the Trustee's Plan of Reorganization dated May 30, 2013, and will be referred to as the "Plan," a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Because no other modifications have been made to the April 23 Plan, the April 23 Plan will also be referred to below as the "Plan," except where clarity dictates reference to it as the April 23 Plan.

The Court, having reviewed and considered the Plan; the declaration of Patrick E. Johnson dated May 28, 2013, regarding ballot tabulation and voting (the "Johnson Declaration") (docket no. 681); the declaration of Chapter 11 Trustee, Duane H. Gillman dated May 28, 2013 in support of confirmation of the Plan (the "Trustee Declaration") (docket nos. 683, 684); the certificate of service for the "Solicitation Package" (docket no. 668); the Trustee's memorandum dated May 28, 2013 in support of confirmation of the Plan (docket no. 682); other evidence proffered and/or presented; the arguments of counsel; and other matters presented to the Court, and after due deliberation thereon and good and sufficient cause appearing therefore,

THE COURT FINDS AND CONCLUDES THAT:2

A. Confirmation Hearing. On May 30, 2013, the Court held a hearing to consider confirmation of the Plan pursuant to Section 1128 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3020(b)(2).

B. Ballot Report. On May 28, 2013, the Trustee submitted the Johnson Declaration certifying the method and results of the ballot tabulation for each Class entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan under Bankruptcy Rule 3018.

C. Jurisdiction and Venue. The Court has jurisdiction over the Debtor's chapter 11 case under 18 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334. This matter constitutes a core proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2). Venue in this Court is proper under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.

D. The Disclosure Statement and Voting Procedures Order. By Order entered April 25, 2013, (docket no. 665) the Court approved the Disclosure Statement for the Plan (docket no. 665) as containing adequate information and also approved voting and vote solicitation procedures and dates, notice for the hearing on confirmation of the Plan, and scheduled the confirmation hearing on the Plan (the "Disclosure Statement and Voting Procedures Order").

E. Judicial Notice. The Court takes judicial notice of the docket of the Debtor's chapter 11 case maintained by the Clerk of the Court and/or its duly-appointed agent, including, without limitation, all pleadings and other documents filed, all orders entered, and all evidence and arguments made, proffered, or adduced at, the hearings held before the Court during the pendency of this chapter 11 case.

F. Objections. No Objections to confirmation of the Plan were filed.

G. Modification to the April 23 Plan Not Material. The modification to the April 23 Plan announced at the hearing on confirmation is not material and the Trustee does not need to provide further notice or seek further voting on the Plan, nor is time extended for parties to object to the Plan.

H. Trustee Declaration. At the Confirmation Hearing, the Trustee proffered, and the Court received into evidence, the Trustee Declaration. No other party in interest objected to the proffer or submitted other evidence. The evidence included within the Trustee Declaration is incorporated herein as part of the Court's findings of fact.

I. Oral Findings of Fact Incorporated. All oral findings of fact and conclusions of law entered by the Court at the Confirmation Hearing are incorporated herein by this reference, in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 7052(a).

J. Transmittal and Mailing of Materials; Notice. In accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 2002, the Court finds and concludes that sufficient notice of the hearing on confirmation of the Plan and of the time for filing objections to the Plan was provided to holders of Claims and Interests and to the Debtor in accordance with the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules. The Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement and Voting Procedures Order, Ballots, and the Notice of Hearing on confirmation of the Plan and deadlines related thereto were transmitted and served in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules, and such transmittal and service were adequate and sufficient.

K. Solicitation. In accordance with Section 1126(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Court finds and concludes that: (a) the solicitation of votes to accept or reject the Plan complied with applicable law governing the adequacy of disclosure in connection with the solicitation; and (b) the solicitation was conducted after disclosure of adequate information, as defined in Section 1125(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

L. Ballots. All procedures used to distribute Ballots to holders of Claims and Interests and to tabulate the Ballots were conducted in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the local rules of this Court.

M. The Plan Reasonably Classifies Claims and Interests (11 U.S.C. § 1122(a)). The classification of Claims and Interests under the Plan complies with Section 1122(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

N. The Plan Designates all Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(1)). The Plan properly designates all Classes of Claims and Interests in accordance with the requirements of Section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

O. Specification of Unimpaired Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(2)). The Plan specifies the Classes of Claims and Interests which are unimpaired or impaired in accordance with the requirements of Section 1123(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

P. Specification of Treatment of Impaired Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(3)). The Plan specifies the treatment of each Class of Claims and Interests in accordance with the requirements of Section 1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Q. No Discrimination (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(4)). The Plan provides the same treatment for each Claim and Interest in a particular Class, unless the holder of a particular Claim or Interest in such a Class has agreed to a less favorable treatment of such Claim or Interest. Therefore, the Plan complies with and satisfies the requirements of Section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

R. Implementation of the Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(5)). The Plan provides adequate, proper, and legal means for its implementation including, without limitation, provisions of the Plan which provide for the contribution by Mr. Ray Okelberry of a "New Value Contribution," as provided under the Plan. The New Value Contribution appears to be in an amount sufficient to pay all Allowed Claims under the Plan in full and to return a payment to holders of equity Interests. Therefore, the Plan complies with and satisfies the requirements of Section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.

S. Assumption or Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(2)). Article VIII of the Plan identifies executory contracts and unexpired leases to be assumed. It appears that there are no current executory contracts of unexpired leases so that no contracts or leases need to be assumed or rejected.

T. The Plan Complies with the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(1)). The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and, as required pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a), is dated and identifies the Trustee as the proponent of the Plan. Therefore, the Plan satisfies the requirements of Section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

U. Plan Proponent's Compliance with Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(2)). The Trustee has complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, Sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code and have satisfied the requirements of Section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

V. Plan Proposed in Good Faith (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(3)). The Plan is proposed in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law, thereby satisfying Section 1129(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.

W. Payments for Services or Costs and Expenses (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(4)). Any payment made or to be made by the Trustee for services or for costs and expenses in connection with this chapter 11 case, including all administrative expense claims under Section 503 of the Bankruptcy Code, or in connection with the Plan and incident to this chapter 11 case, has been approved by, or is subject to, the approval of the Court as reasonable, thereby satisfying Section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

X. No Government Regulation of Rates (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(6)). Section 1129(a)(6). of the Bankruptcy Code is satisfied because the business of the Debtor is not subject to governmental regulation of rates.

Y. Best Interests Test (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(7)). The liquidation analysis contained in the Disclosure Statement and in other evidence proffered or adduced at or prior to the hearing on confirmation, including the Trustee Declaration, has not been contradicted by other evidence. The methodology used and assumptions made in connection with the liquidation analysis are reasonable. With respect to each Class of impaired Claims or Interests, each holder of a Claim or Interest in such Class has either (a) accepted the Plan or (b) will receive or retain under the Plan on account of such Claim or Interest, property of a value, as of the Effective Date of the Plan, that is not less than the amount that such holder would so receive or retain if the Debtor were liquidated on such date under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, the Plan satisfies the requirements of Section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Z. Acceptance and Deemed Acceptance of Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(8)). As further described in the Johnson Declaration, all Classes of Claims or Interests voting on the Plan have accepted the Plan, and the Plan thus satisfies the requirements of Section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code.

AA. Treatment of Administrative and Priority Tax Claims and Other Priority Claims (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(9)). The treatment of Administrative Claims under the Plan satisfies the requirements of Section 1129(a)(9)(A) and (B) of the Bankruptcy Code, and the treatment of Priority Tax Claims under the Plan complies with and satisfies Section 1129(a)(9)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code.

BB. Acceptance by Impaired Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(10)). As further described in the Johnson Declaration, at least one Class of Impaired Claims has accepted the Plan. All Classes are impaired and all with holders of Claims voted to accept the Plan. The requirements of Section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code are, therefore, satisfied.

CC. Feasibility (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(11)). The evidence proffered and/or presented by the Trustee with respect to feasibility of the Plan is persuasive and credible and has not been controverted by other evidence. Confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation, or the need for further financial reorganization, of the Debtor, and the Plan therefore satisfies Section 1129(a)(11).

DD. Payment of Fees (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(12)). To the extent that all fees payable to the United States Trustee under 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a)(6) have not been paid, the Plan provides for the payment of all such fees within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date of the Plan, and as they come due thereafter. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies Section 1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code.

EE. Continuation of Retiree Benefits (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(13)). No retiree benefits, as that term is defined in Section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code, are currently owing or will be owing by the Debtor in this chapter 11 case, thereby making Section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code inapplicable.

FF. No Cramdown Is Required (11 U.S.C. § 1129(b). Because all Classes of Claims and Interests with members have voted to accept the Plan, no cramdown under Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code is required.

GG. No Other Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1129(c)). Other than the Plan, no plan has been filed in the Debtor's chapter 11 case. The requirements of Section 1129(c) of the Bankruptcy Code have been satisfied.

HH. Principal Purpose of Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1129(d)). 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, and there has been no objection filed by any governmental unit asserting such avoidance. The Plan complies with Section 1129(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.

II. Good Faith Solicitation (11 U.S.C. § 1125(e)). The Trustee and his attorneys and advisers have solicited votes to accept or reject the Plan in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules, and are, therefore, entitled to the protections afforded by Section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.

JJ. Transactions Contemplated by the Plan. The transactions contemplated by the Plan, including the pledge of the Debtor's Assets, free and clear of existing liens, to secure a loan in the amount of the New Value Contribution to Okelberry as provided for in Section 8.2 of the Plan, are appropriate and the Trustee and the Reorganized Debtor should be authorized to execute necessary and appropriate documents to consummate these transactions.

KK. Release, Exculpation, and Injunction. The release, exculpation, and injunction provisions set forth in Sections 13.3, 13.4, and 13.5 of the Plan (i) are within the jurisdiction of the Court under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1334(a), (b) and (d); (ii) are an essential means of implementing the Plan pursuant to Section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code; (iii) confer material benefits on, and thus are in the best interests of, the Debtor's estate; and (iv) are, in the facts and circumstances of the Debtor's chapter 11 case, consistent with and permitted pursuant to Sections 105, 524, 1123, 1129 and all other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

LL. Conditions to Confirmation. Upon entry of these Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the related confirmation Order becoming a Final Order, all conditions to Confirmation of the Plan set forth in Section 10.1 of the Plan have been satisfied or waived.

MM. Retention of Jurisdiction. The Court's retention of jurisdiction as set forth in Article XII of the Plan comports with applicable law, including 28 U.S.C. § 157.

6.4 Delivery of Distributions. Subject to Bankruptcy Rule 9010, all distributions to any holder of an Allowed Claim shall be made at the address of such holder as set forth in proofs of claim filed, on the schedules filed in the Bankruptcy Case, or on the books and records of the Debtor.

6.5 Undeliverable and Unclaimed Distributions.

6.5.1. If the distribution to the holder of any Allowed Claim is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such holder shall be made unless and until the holder notifies the Trustee in writing of such holder's then-current address, at which time all missed distributions shall be made, subject to the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section 6.4, as soon as is practicable to such holder, without interest.

6.7 Disputed Claims.

6.7.1. In connection with distributions to be made in respect of Allowed Claims, the Trustee shall reserve from any distribution to the holder of a Disputed Claim the amount of distribution which otherwise would be paid in respect to such Disputed Claim on the date distributions are made to holders of Claims in the Class in which such Disputed Claim is classified if the full amount of such Claim were deemed to be an Allowed Claim or such lesser amount as the Bankruptcy Court may determine.

6.7.2. Pending the determination of such Disputed Claim by the Bankruptcy Court or resolution of such Dispute Claim through settlement, the Trustee shall reserve funds equal to the amount so reserved or such lesser amount as the Bankruptcy Court may have determined within fifteen (15) business days after the date on which such amount would otherwise be distributed to the holder of such Claim. Such funds shall be held by the Trustee as long as such Claim remains a Disputed Claim.

6.7.3. If, on or after the date distributions begin under this Plan, any Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim the Trustee shall, as soon as practicable following the date on which the Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, distribute to the holder of such Allowed Claim an amount, with or without interest thereon based on the approved Plan treatment as set forth herein, that provides such holder with the same percentage recovery, as of such date, as holders of Claims in the Class that were Allowed on the date distributions began under this Plan.

6.7.4. To the extent that a Disputed Claim is disallowed or reduced, the holder of such Claim shall not receive any distribution on account of the portion of such Claim that is disallowed. Any Disputed Claim, for which a proof of claim has not been deemed timely filed as of the Effective Date, shall be disallowed.
