Item 1.03. Bankruptcy or Receivership.
As previously disclosed on
its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 26, 2023, PARTS iD, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and its
subsidiary PARTS iD, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PARTS iD, LLC” and together with the Company, the “Debtors”)
filed voluntary petitions (the cases commenced thereby, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United
States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy
Court”) with a pre-packaged chapter 11 plan of reorganization as contemplated by that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of December
19, 2023, by and among the Debtors, Fifth Star, Inc. (in its capacities as New Bridge Lender, New Money DIP Lender, and Administrative
Agent) and the Roll-Up DIP Lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”).
The
Chapter 11 Cases are jointly administered under the caption In re PARTS iD, Inc., et al., Case No. 23-12098. The
Debtors continue to operate their businesses as a “debtor-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and
in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.
Confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization
As contemplated in the Credit
Agreement, on December 26, 2023, the Debtors filed the Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of PARTS iD, Inc. and PARTS
iD, LLC [Docket No. 14]. On January 30, 2024, the Debtors filed the Second Amended Joint Prepackaged
Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of PARTS iD, Inc. and PARTS iD, LLC [Docket No. 148] (as amended, modified or supplemented from
time to time, the “Plan”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Capitalized terms
used but not defined in this Current Report on Form 8-K have meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan.
On February 5, 2024, the Bankruptcy
Court entered an order [Docket No. 169] (the “Confirmation Order”), confirming the Plan. A copy of the Confirmation Order
is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Notwithstanding the entry
of the Confirmation Order, consummation of the Plan (referred to in the Plan as the “Effective Date”) remains subject to the
satisfaction, or waiver with the consent of Fifth Star, Inc. (the “Plan Sponsor”), of various conditions precedent set forth
in the Plan. The Debtors anticipate that the Effective Date will occur on or before February 16, 2024; however, the Debtors can make no
assurances as to when, or ultimately if, the Plan will become effective.
Material Features of the Plan
The
following is a summary of the material terms of the Plan. This summary highlights only certain material substantive provisions of the
Plan and is not intended to be a complete description of the Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of the Plan, the definitive documents implementing the Plan and the Confirmation Order.
The
Plan contemplates that the Debtors will continue their day-to-day operations substantially as currently conducted and that all
of their commercial and operational contracts assumed pursuant to the Plan will remain in effect in accordance with their terms preserving
the rights of all parties.
On
the Effective Date:
| ● | all
amounts due in connection with the Tranche 1 Roll-Up DIP Loans and Tranche 2 Roll-Up DIP
Loans (each as defined in the Plan) will be equitized in exchange for a pro rata share of
the newly issued common stock (referred in the Plan as the “New Common Stock”)
in the reorganized Company (“Reorganized PARTS iD” and together with reorganized
PARTS iD, LLC, the “Reorganized Debtors”); |
| | |
| ● | all
amounts due in connection with the New Money DIP Loans will be equitized in exchange for
a pro rata share of new preferred equity interests (“New Preferred Stock”); |
| | |
| ● | Reorganized
PARTS iD will issue, and the Plan Sponsor will purchase, $26,000,000 of New Preferred Stock; |
| | |
| ● | all
classes of common securities issued by the Company (referred to in the Plan as the “Existing
Equity Interests”) will be cancelled and thereafter
deregistered, at which time the Company will cease to be a publicly traded company; and |
| | |
| ● | the
Reorganized Debtors will make the following distributions in full and final satisfaction
of all claims and interests against the Debtors, unless otherwise specified in the Plan:
(i) holders of New Money DIP Claims (as defined in the Plan) will receive their pro rata
share of New Preferred Stock; (ii) holders of Tranche 1 Roll-Up DIP Claims and Tranche 2
Roll-Up DIP Claims (each as defined in the Plan) will receive their pro rata share of New
Common Stock; (iii) holders of Tranche 3 Roll-Up DIP Claims (as defined in the Plan) will
receive cash equal to the amount of such Tranche 3 Roll-Up DIP Claims; (iv) holders of Senior
Secured Note Claims (as defined in the Plan) will receive cash in the aggregate amount of
$4,224,500 minus any payments made to such Holders on account of such claims during the Chapter
11 Cases; (v) holders of MCA Claims (as defined in the Plan) will receive either the Wave
Distribution or the RCNY Distribution, as applicable (each as defined in the Plan); (vi)
holders of Subordinated Secured Note Claims (as defined in the Plan) will be entitled to
receive two (2) of the following, provided, however, that no holder of a Subordinated Secured
Note Claim will receive, in the aggregate, more than 100% of amount of such holder’s
Subordinated Secured Note Claim: (A) payment in cash of 55% of such Subordinated Secured
Note Claim, (B) such holder’s pro rata share from the net recoveries (after payments
of fees, litigation financing and taxes) from the Litigation Proceeds (as defined in the
Plan) and (C) payment in cash upon the achievement of an EBITDA target to be agreed between
the Plan Sponsor and the Debtors; (vii) holders of Vendor Claims (as defined in the Plan)
will receive cash in an amount equal to 25% of such Vendor Claim, and beginning the month
following the Plan Effective Date, payment in the aggregate amount equal to 30% of its Vendor
Claim, paid in equal monthly installments over a period of 36 months; and (viii) holders
of Convenience Claims (as defined in the Plan) will receive cash in an amount equal to 65%
of its Convenience Claim. |
There
was no specific number of shares of the New Common Stock reserved for future issuance
in respect of claims and interests filed and allowed under the Plan. The New Common Stock is not expected to be listed on any
national securities exchange or registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Unless
otherwise specified, the treatment set forth in the Plan and Confirmation Order will be in full satisfaction of all claims against and
interests in the Debtors, which will be discharged on the Effective Date.
Additional
information regarding the classification and treatment of claims and interests can be found in Article II of the Plan (Administrative
Claims and Priority Claims) and Article III of the Plan (Classification and Treatment of Claims and Interests).
Settlement, Releases and Exculpations
The
Plan incorporates an integrated compromise and settlement of claims to achieve a beneficial and efficient resolution of the Chapter 11
Cases. Unless otherwise specified, the settlement, distributions, and other benefits provided under the Plan, including the releases and
exculpation provisions included therein, are in full satisfaction of all claims and causes of action that could be asserted as set forth
in Article VIII of the Plan.
The
Plan provides releases and exculpations for the benefit of the Debtors, certain of the Debtors’ claimholders, other parties in interest
and various parties related thereto, each in their capacity as such, from various claims and causes of action, as further set forth in
Article VIII of the Plan (Settlement, Release, Injunction and Related Provisions).
Post-Emergence Governance and Management
On the Effective Date,
except as contemplated by the Plan or the documents to be executed in connection with the Plan, each of the Reorganized Debtors will continue
to exist after the Effective Date as a separate corporate entity, limited liability company, partnership or other form, as the case may
be, pursuant to the applicable law in the jurisdiction in which each applicable Debtor is incorporated or formed and pursuant to the Governance
Documents in effect prior to the Effective Date, except to the extent such Governance Documents are amended under the Plan or otherwise.
As

will be deemed expired and the members of the Existing Board will have resigned. The new board of directors of Reorganized PARTS iD will
initially consist of Sam Yagan as the sole director. As of the Effective Date, the current officers of the Company will continue to serve

terms of the Plan. Accordingly, the Plan shall serve as a motion for entry of a Bankruptcy Court order approving the substantive consolidation

Except for the
Claims addressed in Article II hereof, all Claims and Interests are classified in the Classes set forth below in accordance with sections
1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. A Claim or an Interest, or any portion thereof, is classified in a particular Class only to
the extent that any portion of such Claim or Interest fits within the description of that Class and is classified in other Classes to
the extent that any portion of the Claim or Interest fits within the description of such other Classes. A Claim or an Interest also is
classified in a particular Class for the purpose of receiving distributions under the Plan only to the extent that such Claim or Interest
is an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest in that Class and has not been paid, released, or otherwise satisfied prior to the Effective Date.
The categories
of Claims and Interests listed below classify Claims and 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 Interest to be classified in
a particular Class only to the extent that the Claim or 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 Interest qualifies within the description of such different Class.
A Claim or an Interest is in a particular Class only to the extent that any such Claim or Interest is Allowed in that Class and has not
been paid or otherwise settled prior to the Effective Date.

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) 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 (iii) 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. Except as otherwise set forth in
the Plan, on the Effective Date 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 deemed substantive consolidation shall not
(other than for purposes relating to the Plan) affect the legal and corporate structure of the Reorganized Debtors.
In the event
the Bankruptcy Court does not approve the deemed substantive consolidation of the Estates for the purposes set forth herein, the Plan
shall be treated as a separate plan of reorganization for each Debtor not deemed substantively consolidated.
The Plan shall
serve as, and shall be deemed to be, a motion for entry of an order deemed 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.
| C. | Restructuring Transactions |
On
or before the Effective Date, the applicable Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (and their respective officers, directors, members,
or managers (as applicable)) shall enter into and shall take any actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the Plan,
which may include: (1) the execution, delivery, filing, registration or recordation of appropriate agreements or other documents of
merger, amalgamation, consolidation, restructuring, conversion, disposition, transfer, arrangement, continuance, dissolution, sale,
purchase, or liquidation containing terms that are consistent with the terms of the Plan and that satisfy the applicable
requirements of applicable law and any other terms to which the applicable Entities may agree, including the documents constituting
the Plan Supplement; (2) the execution, delivery, filing, registration or recordation of appropriate instruments of transfer,
assignment, assumption, or delegation of any asset, property, right, liability, debt, or obligation on terms consistent with the
terms of the Plan and having other terms for which the applicable Entities may agree; (3) the execution, delivery, filing,
registration or recordation of appropriate certificates or articles of incorporation, formation, reincorporation, merger,
consolidation, conversion, amalgamation, arrangement, continuance, or dissolution pursuant to applicable law; (4) the execution,
delivery, filing, registration or recordation of the New Governance Documents; (5) the issuance, distribution, reservation, or
dilution, as applicable, of the New Preferred Stock and New Common Stock, as set forth herein; and (6) all other actions that the
applicable Entities determine to be necessary, including making filings or recordings that may be required by applicable law in
connection with the Plan. All Holders of Claims and Interests receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan and all other necessary
parties in interest, including any and all agents thereof, shall prepare, execute, and deliver any agreements or documents, and take
any other actions as the Debtors and the Plan Sponsor may jointly determine are necessary or advisable, including by voting and/or
exercising any powers or rights available to such Holder, including at any board, or creditors’, or shareholders’
meeting, to effectuate the provisions and intent of the Plan The Confirmation Order shall, and shall be deemed to, pursuant to
sections 363 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, authorize, among other things, all actions as may be necessary or appropriate to
effect any transaction described in, contemplated by, or necessary to effectuate the Plan, including the Restructuring
Transactions.
| D. | Sources of Consideration for Plan Distributions |

of all Direct Investment Commitment Conditions (unless waived by the Plan Sponsor in its sole discretion), the Debtors and Reorganized
Debtors, as applicable, shall fund Plan Distributions, as applicable, with (1) the New Preferred Stock, (2) the New Common Stock, and
(3) a portion of the proceeds of the Direct Investment Preferred Equity Raise in an amount equal to the Plan Distribution Amount. Each
distribution and issuance referred to in Article VI of the Plan shall be governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan applicable
to such distribution or issuance and by the terms and conditions of the instruments or other documents evidencing or relating to such
distribution or issuance, which terms and conditions shall bind each Entity receiving such distribution or issuance. The issuance, distribution,
or authorization, as applicable, of certain securities in connection with the Plan, including the New Common Stock and the New Preferred

fully paid, and non-assessable. Each distribution and issuance of New Common Stock and New Preferred Equity shall be governed by the

instruments evidencing or relating to such distribution or issuance, which terms and conditions shall bind each Entity receiving
such distribution or issuance without the need for execution by any party thereto other than the applicable Reorganized Debtor(s).
Any Entity’s acceptance of New Common Stock or New Preferred Stock shall be deemed as its agreement to the New Governance
Documents, as the same may be amended or modified from time to time following the Effective Date in accordance with their respective
terms. The New Common Stock and New Preferred Equity will not be registered under the Securities Act or listed on any exchange as of
the Effective Date and will not meet the eligibility requirements of the Depository Trust Company.

Investment Commitments |
On the Effective
Date, the Debtors shall consummate the Direct Investment Preferred Equity Raise through which the Plan Sponsor shall purchase $26,000,000

documents) in effect prior to the Effective Date, except to the extent such certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation
documents) are amended under the Plan or otherwise, and to the extent such documents are amended in accordance therewith, such documents

applicable state or federal law). After the Effective Date, the respective certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation
documents) of the Reorganized Debtors may be amended or modified on the terms therein without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy
Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules. After the Effective Date, one or more of the Reorganized

with or pursuant to, the Plan or Plan Supplement, on the Effective Date, all property in each Debtor’s Estate, all Causes of Action

its business and may use, acquire, or dispose of property and compromise or settle any Claims, 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.

the structure of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, and any corporate, partnership, limited liability company, or other
governance action required by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to
have occurred and shall be in effect, without any requirement of further action by the Security holders, members, directors,
trustees or officers of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable. On or (as applicable) prior to the Effective Date,
the appropriate officers of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall be authorized and (as applicable) directed

laws of such jurisdiction. The New Governance Documents will, among other things, (a) authorize the issuance of the New Preferred Stock

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 pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code effective as of the Effective Date. Entry of the Confirmation Order

| T. | Preservation of Causes of ActionIn accordance with section
1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, but subject to Article VIII hereof, each Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall retain and may enforce
all rights to commence and pursue, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action of the Debtors (other than Avoidance Actions with respect
to Released Parties and any Holder of a General Unsecured Claim), whether arising before or after the Petition Date, including any actions
specifically enumerated in the Schedule of Retained Causes of Action, and the Reorganized Debtors’ rights to commence, prosecute,
or settle such Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date, other than Avoidance Actions
with respect to Released Parties and any Holder of a General Unsecured Claim and Causes of Action settled or resolved by the Debtors
prior to the Effective Date with the consent of the Plan Sponsor or released by the Debtors pursuant to the releases and exculpations
contained in the Plan, including in Article VIII hereof, which shall be deemed released and waived by the Debtors and the Reorganized
Debtors as of the Effective Date. |
The Reorganized
Debtors may pursue such retained Causes of Action, as appropriate, in accordance with the best interests of the Reorganized Debtors. No
Entity (other than the Released Parties) may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure
Statement to any Cause of Action against it as any indication that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will not pursue
any and all available Causes of Action of the Debtors against it, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan. The Debtors and
the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity (other than Avoidance
Actions with respect to Released Parties or any Holder of a General Unsecured Claim), except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan,
including Article VIII hereof. The Reorganized Debtors may settle any such Cause of Action without any further notice to or action,
order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. If there is any dispute between the Reorganized Debtors and the Entity against whom the Reorganized
Debtors are asserting the Cause of Action regarding the inclusion of any Cause of Action on the Schedule of Retained Causes of Action
that remains unresolved for thirty days, such objection shall be resolved by the Bankruptcy Court. Unless any Causes of Action of the
Debtors against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, assigned, transferred or settled in the
Plan or a Final Order, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all Causes of Action, for later adjudication, 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 such Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or Consummation.
The
Reorganized Debtors reserve and shall retain such Causes of Action of the Debtors notwithstanding the rejection or repudiation (to
the extent applicable) of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease during the Chapter 11 Cases or pursuant to the Plan. In
accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Causes of Action that a Debtor may hold against any Entity shall vest
in the Reorganized Debtors, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, including Article VIII hereof. The applicable
Reorganized Debtors, through their authorized agents or representatives, shall retain and may exclusively enforce any and all such
Causes of Action. The Reorganized Debtors shall have the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to determine and to initiate,
file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any such Causes of Action 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.
U. | Release of Avoidance Actions |
On the Effective
Date, the Debtors, on behalf of themselves and their Estates, shall waive and release any and all Avoidance Actions solely with respect
to Released Parties and any Holder of a General Unsecured Claim, and the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and any of their successors
or assigns, and any Entity acting on behalf of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors shall be deemed to have waived the right to pursue
any and all Avoidance Actions solely with respect to Released Parties and any Holder of a General Unsecured Claim, except for such Avoidance
Actions brought as counterclaims or defenses to Claims asserted against the Debtors.
On the Effective
Date, the Debtors, on behalf of the themselves and their Estates, shall waive and release any and all demands, claims, actions, Causes
of Action, rights, liabilities, obligations, liens, suits, losses, damages, attorney fees, court costs, or any other form of claim whatsoever,
of whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, in law or equity, which the Debtors have, have had, may
have or may claim to have against the Vendors arising on or prior to the Effective Date.
ARTICLE V.
TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS
AND UNEXPIRED LEASES
A. | Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases |
Except as otherwise
provided in this Plan, on and as of the Effective Date, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease shall be deemed assumed (or assumed
and assigned to the respective Reorganized Debtor, as applicable), without the need for any further notice to or action, order, or approval
of the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code unless such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (i)
previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms; or (ii) is the subject of a motion to reject filed on or before the Effective
Date. The Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the above-described assumptions and assignments.
Except as
otherwise provided herein or agreed to by the Debtors (with the consent of the Plan Sponsor) and the applicable counterparty, each
assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other
agreements related thereto, and all rights related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges,
immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests. 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.
Entry of the Confirmation
Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the assumptions, assumptions and assignments, and related Cure amounts
with respect thereto, or rejections (to the extent applicable) of the Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases as set forth in the Plan
or the Schedule of Proposed Cure Amounts or the Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Schedule (if any), pursuant to sections
365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, assumptions or rejections (to the extent applicable)
of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to the Plan are effective as of the Effective Date. Each Executory Contract or Unexpired
Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan or by Bankruptcy Court order but not assigned to a third party on or before the Effective Date shall
re-vest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable contracting Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as such terms
may have been modified by the provisions of the Plan or any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption.
Any motions to assume Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases pending on the Effective Date shall be subject to approval by a Final Order
on or after the Effective Date but may be withdrawn, settled, or otherwise prosecuted by the Reorganized Debtors.
Except as otherwise
provided herein or agreed to by the Debtors and the applicable counterparty, each assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall
include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements related thereto, and all rights related thereto,
if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests.
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.
To the maximum
extent permitted by law, to the extent any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed or assumed and assigned pursuant
to the Plan restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, the assumption or assumption
and assignment of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (including any “change of control” provision), then such provision
shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan shall not entitle the non-Debtor party thereto to terminate
such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to exercise any other default-related rights with respect thereto.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve the right, with the consent of the
Plan Sponsor, to alter, amend, modify, or supplement the Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Schedule (if any) or Schedule
of Proposed Cure Amounts at any time up to thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable,
shall file with the Bankruptcy Court and serve on the applicable counterparty notice regarding any change to the Rejected Executory Contracts
and Unexpired Leases Schedule (if any) or the Schedule of Proposed Cure Amounts, as applicable, and the counterparty shall have fourteen
days from service of such notice to file an objection with the Bankruptcy Court.
To the extent
any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules requires the Debtors to assume or reject an Executory Contract or Unexpired
Lease, such requirement shall be satisfied if the Debtors make an election to assume or reject such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease
prior to the deadline set forth by the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules, as applicable, regardless of whether or not the Bankruptcy
Court has actually ruled on such proposed assumption or rejection prior to such deadline.
B. | Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases |
All Allowed Claims
arising from the rejection of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases shall be classified as General Unsecured Claims
and shall be treated in accordance thereto. In light of the treatment of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims under the Plan, there is
no requirement to file a Proof of Claim (or move the Bankruptcy Court for allowance) to have a Claim Allowed for the purposes of the Plan.
Any Proof of Claim arising from the rejection of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that is filed shall be classified
as a General Unsecured Claim and based on the treatment provided to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims, shall receive no distribution
on account of such Claim and shall be deemed to have voted to reject this Plan.
C. | Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases |
Any monetary
defaults under each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed (or assumed and assigned to the respective Reorganized Debtor,
as applicable) pursuant to the Plan shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the default
amount in Cash upon assumption thereof. To the extent any monetary default exists under a particular Executory Contract of Unexpired Lease,
at least fourteen (14) days before the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors shall have served a notice on parties to Executory Contracts
and Unexpired Leases to be assumed reflecting the Debtors’ intention to assume or assume and assign the Executory Contract or Unexpired
Lease in connection with this Plan and setting forth the proposed cure amount (if any).
In the event of a dispute
regarding (i) the amount of any payments to cure such a default, (ii) the ability of the Reorganized Debtors or any 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 (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the cure payments required
by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order or orders resolving the dispute and
approving the assumption. The cure notices shall include procedures for objecting to proposed assumptions of Executory Contracts and
Unexpired Leases and any amounts of Cure Claims to be paid in connection therewith and resolution of disputes by the Bankruptcy
Court. Any objection by a counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to a proposed assumption or related cure amount
must be filed, served and actually received by counsel to the Debtors at least four (4) Business Days before the Confirmation
Hearing. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption or cure
amount will be deemed to have assented to such assumption or cure amount; provided, however, that nothing herein shall
prevent the Reorganized Debtors from paying any Cure costs despite the failure of the relevant counterparty to file such request for
payment of such Cure costs. The Reorganized Debtors also may settle any Cure costs without any further notice to or action, order,
or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
The Debtors or
the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall pay the Cure amounts, if any, on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable
thereafter, in the ordinary course of business, or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases
may agree; provided that if a dispute regarding assumption or Cure is unresolved as of the Effective Date, then payment of the
applicable Cure amount shall occur as soon as reasonably practicable after such dispute is resolved. Any Cure shall be deemed fully satisfied,
released, and discharged upon payment of the Cure.
Assumption of
any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise 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 before the
effective date of the assumption.
Any Proof of
Claim Filed with respect to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed shall be deemed disallowed and expunged, without
further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
D. | Preexisting Obligations to the Debtors Under Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases |
To the extent
applicable, rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall not constitute a termination
of preexisting obligations owed to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, under such Executory Contracts or Unexpired
Leases. In particular, notwithstanding any non-bankruptcy law to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve and do not waive
any right to receive, or any continuing obligation of a counterparty to provide, warranties or continued maintenance obligations with
respect to goods previously purchased by the Debtors pursuant to rejected Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases (if any).
Each of the Debtors’
insurance policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto, are treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan.
Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, on the Effective Date, (1) the Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all insurance policies and
any agreements, documents, and instruments relating to coverage of all insured Claims and (2) such insurance policies and any agreements,
documents, or instruments relating thereto shall revest in the Reorganized Debtors.
Nothing contained in the
Plan or the Plan Supplement shall constitute an admission by the Debtors or any other party that any 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 or rejection (to the extent applicable), the
Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have thirty (30) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such
dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.
G. | 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 pursuant to section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.
H. | Employee Compensation and Benefits. |
| 1. | Compensation and Benefits Programs |
Subject to the provisions
of the Plan, all Compensation and Benefits Programs shall be treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan (including all employment
agreements and employment letters, severance plans and amendments thereto, severance letters and severance agreements, retention
plans and letters, annual incentive plans (whether based on PARTS iD’s or individual employee performance) and other
agreements entered into with current and former officers and other employees and effective as of the Confirmation Date) and deemed
assumed on the Effective Date pursuant to the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless (i) previously
expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms; or (ii) is the subject of a motion to reject filed on or before the Effective Date; provided, however,
that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, with the consent of the Plan Sponsor, may alter, amend, modify, or
supplement the Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Schedule (if any) or Schedule of Proposed Cure Amounts relating to
the Compensation and Benefits Programs at any time up to thirty (30) days after the Effective Date in accordance with Section V.A
and V.F of this Plan. The assumption of any Compensation and Benefits Programs shall not be deemed approval of any Administrative
Claim or Cure amount for any payments that are subject to section 503(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.
A counterparty
to a Compensation and Benefits Program assumed or assumed and assigned pursuant to the Plan shall have the same rights under such Compensation
and Benefits Program as such counterparty had thereunder immediately prior to such assumption (unless otherwise agreed by such counterparty
and the applicable Reorganized Debtor(s)); provided, however, that any assumption or assumption and assignment of Compensation
and Benefits Programs pursuant to the Plan or any of the Restructuring Transactions shall not trigger or be deemed to trigger any change
of control, immediate vesting, termination, or similar provisions therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to section 1129(a)(13)
of the Bankruptcy Code, from and after the Effective Date, all retiree benefits (as such term is defined in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy
Code), if any, shall continue to be paid in accordance with applicable law.
| 2. | 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:
(a) all applicable workers’ compensation laws in states in which the Reorganized Debtors operate; and (b) the Debtors’
written contracts, agreements, agreements of indemnity, self-insured workers’ compensation bonds, policies, programs, and
plans for workers’ compensation and workers’ compensation insurance. 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 non-bankruptcy law.
I. | Contracts and Leases Entered into After the Petition Date |
Contracts and
leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor, including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by such Debtor,
will be performed by the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor in the ordinary course of its business. Accordingly, such contracts and
leases (including any assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases) will survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation
Order.
ARTICLE VI.
PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS
A. | Distributions on Account of Claims Allowed as of the Effective Date |
Except as otherwise
provided herein, in a Final Order, or as otherwise agreed to by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, and the Holder
of the applicable Allowed Claim on the first Distribution Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall make initial distributions under the Plan
on account of Claims Allowed on or before the Effective Date, subject to the Reorganized Debtors’ right to object to Claims; provided
that (1) Allowed Administrative Claims with respect to liabilities incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of business during the
Chapter 11 Cases or assumed by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date shall be paid or performed in the ordinary course of business in
accordance with the terms and conditions of any controlling agreements, course of dealing, course of business, or industry practice, and
(2) Allowed Priority Tax Claims shall be paid in accordance with Article II.D of the Plan. To the extent any Allowed Priority Tax Claim
is not due and owing on the Effective Date, such Claim shall be paid in full in Cash in accordance with the terms of any agreement between
the Debtors and the Holder of such Claim or as may be due and payable under applicable non-bankruptcy law or in the ordinary course of
business.
All distributions
under the Plan shall be made by the Disbursing Agent. The Disbursing Agent shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security
for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. Additionally, in the event that the Disbursing Agent
is so otherwise ordered, all costs and expenses of procuring any such bond or surety shall be borne by the Reorganized Debtors.
C. | Rights and Powers of Disbursing Agent |
| 1. | Powers of the Disbursing Agent |
The Disbursing Agent shall
be empowered to: (a) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments, and other documents necessary to perform its duties
under the Plan; (b) make all distributions contemplated hereby; (c) employ professionals to represent it with respect to its
responsibilities; and (d) exercise such other powers as may be vested in the Disbursing Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court,
pursuant to the Plan or as deemed by the Disbursing Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions hereof.
| 2. | Expenses Incurred on or After the Effective Date |
Except as otherwise
ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the amount of any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent on or after the Effective
Date (including taxes), and any reasonable compensation and expense reimbursement claims (including reasonable attorney fees and expenses),
made by the Disbursing Agent shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors.
D. | Delivery of Distributions and Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions |
| 1. | Record Date for Distribution |
On the Distribution
Record Date, the Claims Register shall be closed and any party responsible for making distributions shall instead be authorized and entitled
to recognize only those record Holders listed on the Claims Register as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. If a
Claim is transferred twenty or fewer days before the Distribution Record Date, the Disbursing Agent shall make distributions to the transferee
only to the extent practical and, in any event, only if the relevant transfer form contains an unconditional and explicit certification
and waiver of any objection to the transfer by the transferor.
| 2. | Delivery of Distributions in General |
Except as otherwise
provided herein, distributions payable to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be made by the Disbursing Agent to such Holder at the address
for each such Holder as indicated on the Debtors’ records as of the date of any such distribution; provided that the manner
of such distributions shall be determined at the discretion of the Reorganized Debtors.
No fractional
shares of New Preferred Stock or New Common Stock shall be distributed and no Cash shall be distributed in lieu of such fractional amounts.
When any distribution pursuant to the Plan on account of an Allowed Claim would otherwise result in the issuance of a number of shares
of New Common Stock that is not a whole number, the actual distribution of shares of New Common Stock shall be rounded as follows: (a)
fractions of one-half (1/2) or greater shall be rounded to the next higher whole number
and (b) fractions of less than one-half (1/2) shall be rounded to the next lower whole
number with no further payment therefor. The total number of authorized shares of New Common Stock to be distributed to Holders of Allowed
Claims hereunder shall be adjusted as necessary to account for the foregoing rounding.
| 4. | Undeliverable Distributions and Unclaimed Property |
In the event
that any distribution to any Holder of Allowed Claims is returned as undeliverable, no distribution to such Holder shall be made unless
and until the Disbursing Agent has determined the then-current address of such Holder, at which time such distribution shall be made to
such Holder without interest; provided that such distributions shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy
Code at the expiration of six months from the Effective Date. 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
federal, provincial or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws to the contrary) and, to the extent such unclaimed distribution
comprises New Common Stock, such New Common Stock shall be canceled. Upon such revesting, the Claim of the Holder or its successors with
respect to such property shall be canceled, discharged, and forever barred notwithstanding any applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned,
or unclaimed property laws, or any provisions in any document governing the distribution that is an Unclaimed Distribution, to the contrary.
The Disbursing Agent shall adjust the number of shares of New Common Stock outstanding as of the date of such cancelation to ensure that
the distributions of New Common Stock contemplated under the Plan are given full force and effect.
| 5. | Surrender of Canceled Instruments or Securities |
On the Effective
Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, each Holder of a certificate or instrument evidencing a Claim or an Interest that
has been canceled in accordance with Article IV.J hereof shall be deemed to have surrendered such certificate or instrument to the Disbursing
Agent. Such surrendered certificate or instrument shall be canceled solely with respect to the Debtors, and such cancelation shall not
alter the obligations or rights of any non-Debtor third parties in respect of 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 Interest, which shall continue
in effect for purposes of allowing Holders to receive distributions under the Plan, charging liens, priority of payment, and indemnification
rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this paragraph shall not apply to certificates or instruments evidencing Claims
that are Unimpaired under the Plan.
Except as otherwise
provided in the Plan or any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated by the Plan or the Plan Supplement, all distributions
of the New Preferred Stock and New Common Stock to the Holders of the applicable Allowed Claims under the Plan shall be made by the Disbursing
Agent on behalf of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable.
All distributions
of Cash to the Holders of the applicable Allowed Claims under the Plan shall be made by the Disbursing Agent on behalf of the applicable
Debtor or Reorganized Debtor.
At the option
of the Disbursing Agent, any Cash payment to be made hereunder may be made by check or wire transfer or as otherwise required or provided
in applicable agreements.
F. | Indefeasible Distributions |
Any and all distributions
made under the Plan shall be indefeasible and not subject to clawback or any turnover provisions.
Pursuant to section 1145
of the Bankruptcy Code, the offering, issuance, and distribution of the New Preferred Stock and the New Common Stock, but excluding
the MIP Awards (if applicable), in each case, after the Petition Date, shall be exempt from, among other things, the registration
requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act or any similar federal, state, or local law in reliance on section 1145 of the
Bankruptcy Code or, only to the extent such exemption under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code is not available, any other
available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, such New Common
Stock (other than the MIP Awards, if applicable) will be freely tradable in the U.S. without registration under the Securities Act
by the recipients thereof, subject to the provisions of (1) 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 state or foreign securities laws, if
any, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, if any, applicable at the time of any future transfer
of such Securities or instruments, (2) any other applicable regulatory approvals, and (3) any restrictions in the Reorganized
Debtors’ New Governance Documents. The New Preferred Stock and New Common Stock, in each case, will be offered, issued and
distributed in reliance upon section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Any Securities
distributed pursuant to section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act will be considered “restricted securities” as defined by
Rule 144 of the Securities Act and may not be resold under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws absent an effective
registration statement, or pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws and subject to any restrictions in the New Governance Documents.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Plan, no Entity shall be entitled to require a legal opinion regarding the validity of any transaction
contemplated by the Plan, including, for the avoidance of doubt, whether the New Preferred Stock, the New Common Stock and any MIP Awards
(if applicable) are exempt from the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act.
Recipients of
the New Preferred Stock, the New Common Stock and any MIP Awards are advised to consult with their own legal advisors as to the availability
of any exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable Blue Sky Laws.
H. | Compliance with Tax Requirements |
In connection with the
Plan, to the extent applicable, the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, Disbursing Agent, and any applicable withholding agent shall
comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions made
pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to
the contrary, such parties 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 (subject to reasonable consultation
with the Plan Sponsor). The Debtors and Reorganized Debtors reserve the right, with the consent of the Plan Sponsor, to allocate all
distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and similar spousal
awards, Liens, and encumbrances.
Any Holder of
an Impaired Claim entitled to receive any property as an issuance or distribution under the Plan shall, upon request by the Disbursing
Agent, provide an appropriate Form W-9 or (if the payee is a foreign Person) Form W-8. If such request is made and such Holder of an Impaired
Claim 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 Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and any Claim in respect of such distribution shall be discharged and forever
barred from assertion against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors and their respective property.
Distributions
in respect of Allowed Claims shall be allocated first to the principal amount of such Claims (as determined for federal income tax purposes)
and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claims, to any portion of such Claims for accrued but unpaid
interest.
J. | No Postpetition or Default Interest on Claims |
Unless otherwise
specifically provided for in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, or required by applicable bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy law, 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 prepetition Claims and (2) no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to (a) interest accruing on or after the
Petition Date on such Claim or (b) interest at the contract default rate, as applicable. Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing,
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.
K. | Foreign Currency Exchange Rate |
Except as otherwise
provided in a Bankruptcy Court order, as of the Effective Date, any Claim asserted in currency other than U.S. dollars shall be automatically
deemed converted to the equivalent U.S. dollar value using the exchange rate for the applicable currency as published in The Wall Street
Journal, National Edition, on the Effective Date.
Except as expressly
provided in this Plan, each Reorganized Debtor may, pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code, set off and/or recoup against
any Plan Distributions to be made on account of any Allowed Claim, any and all Claims, rights, and Causes of Action that such
Reorganized Debtor may hold against the Holder of such Allowed Claim to the extent such setoff or recoupment is either (1) agreed in
amount among the relevant Reorganized Debtor(s) and the Holder of the Allowed Claim or (2) otherwise adjudicated by the Bankruptcy
Court or another court of competent jurisdiction; provided that neither the failure to effectuate a setoff or recoupment nor
the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by a Reorganized Debtor or its successor of any and all
claims, rights, and Causes of Action that such Reorganized Debtor or its successor may possess against the applicable Holder. In no
event shall any Holder of a Claim be entitled to recoup such Claim against any claim, right, or Cause of Action of the Debtors or
the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, unless such Holder actually has performed such recoupment and provided notice thereof in
writing to the Debtors in accordance with Article XII.G hereof on or before the Effective Date, notwithstanding any indication in
any Proof of Claim or otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of recoupment.
M. | Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties |
| 1. | Claims Paid by Third Parties |
The Debtors or
the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall upon written notice to a Holder of a Claim, reduce in full such Claim, and such Claim shall
be disallowed without a Claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy
Court, to the extent that the Holder of such Claim receives payment in full on account of such Claim from a party that is not a Debtor
or a Reorganized Debtor. Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, to the extent a Holder of a Claim receives a distribution on
account of such Claim and receives payment from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor on account of such Claim, such Holder
shall, within fourteen days of receipt thereof, repay or return the distribution to the applicable Reorganized Debtor, to the extent the
Holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount of such Claim as of
the date of any such distribution under the Plan. The failure of such Holder to timely repay or return such distribution shall result
in the Holder owing the applicable Reorganized Debtor annualized interest at the Federal Judgment Rate on such amount owed for each Business
Day after the fourteen-day grace period specified above until the amount is repaid.
| 2. | Claims Payable by Third Parties |
No distributions
under the Plan shall be made on account of an Allowed Claim that is payable pursuant to one of the Debtors’ insurance policies until
the Holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to such insurance policy. To the extent that one or more of the
Insurers satisfies in full or in part a Claim (if and to the extent adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction), then immediately
upon such Insurers’ payment, the applicable portion of such Claim may be expunged without a Claims objection having to be Filed
and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
| 3. | 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. | Disputed Claims Process |
Notwithstanding
section 502(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and in light of the treatment of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims under the Plan, there is
no requirement to file a Proof of Claim (or move the Bankruptcy Court for allowance) to have a Claim Allowed for the purposes of the Plan.
On and after the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in this Plan, all Allowed Claims shall be satisfied in the ordinary course
of business of the Reorganized Debtors as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced (except that, unless expressly waived pursuant
to the Plan, the Allowed amount of such Claims shall be subject to the limitations or maximum amounts permitted by the Bankruptcy Code,
including sections 502 and 503 of the Bankruptcy Code). All Proofs of Claim Filed in these Chapter 11 Cases shall be considered objected
to and Disputed without further action by the Debtors. Upon the Effective Date and in light of the treatment of all Allowed General Unsecured
Claims under the Plan, all Proofs of Claim filed against the Debtors, regardless of the time of filing, and including Proofs of Claim
filed after the Effective Date, shall be deemed withdrawn and expunged, other than as provided below.
The Debtors and
the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have the exclusive authority to (1) determine, without the need for notice to or action,
order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, that a claim subject to any Proof of Claim that is Filed is Allowed and (2) file, settle,
compromise, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any objections to Claims as permitted under this Plan. If the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors
dispute any Claim, such dispute shall be determined, resolved, or adjudicated, as the case may be, in the manner as if the Chapter 11
Cases had not been commenced and shall survive the Effective Date as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced; provided that
the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may elect to object to any Claim (other than Claims expressly Allowed by this Plan) and to have
the validity or amount of any Claim adjudicated by the Bankruptcy Court; provided, further, that Holders of Claims may elect
to resolve the validity or amount of any Claim in the Bankruptcy Court. If a Holder makes such an election, the Bankruptcy Court shall
apply the law that would have governed the dispute if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been filed. All Proofs of Claim Filed in the Chapter
11 Cases shall be considered objected to and Disputed without further action by the Debtors. Except as otherwise provided herein, all
Proofs of Claim Filed after the Effective Date shall be disallowed, have no force and effect, and all rights related to such Claim shall
be governed by the provisions of this Plan.
After the Effective
Date, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, each of the Reorganized Debtors shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses
such Debtor had with respect to any Claim or Interest immediately prior to the Effective Date. The Debtors may affirmatively determine
to deem Unimpaired Claims Allowed to the same extent such Claims would be allowed under applicable non-bankruptcy law.
C. | Claims Administration Responsibilities |
Except as otherwise
specifically provided in the Plan, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have the authority: (1) to File, withdraw,
or litigate to judgment, objections to Claims or Interests; (2) to settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without any further notice
to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court; and (3) to administer and adjust the Claims Register to reflect any such settlements
or compromises without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court. For the avoidance of doubt, except
as otherwise provided herein, 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 Interest, including the Causes
of Action retained pursuant to Article IV.S of the Plan. Notwithstanding subclause (1) of this paragraph, any party in interest that has
the right to object to Claims or Interests under the Bankruptcy Code shall retain that right.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors shall be entitled to dispute and/or otherwise object to any Administrative Claim, Other
Priority Claim or Other Secured Claim in accordance with applicable nonbankruptcy law. If the Debtors, or Reorganized Debtors dispute
any Administrative Claim, Other Priority Claim or Other Secured Claim, such dispute may be determined, resolved, or adjudicated, as the
case may be, in the manner as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced (except that, unless expressly waived pursuant to the Plan,
the Allowed amount of such Claims shall be subject to the limitations or maximum amounts permitted by the Bankruptcy Code, including sections
502 and 503 of the Bankruptcy Code). In any action or proceeding to determine the existence, validity, or amount of any Administrative
Claim, Other Priority Claim or Other Secured Claim, any and all claims or defenses that could have been asserted by the applicable Debtor(s)
or the Entity holding such Claim are preserved as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced, provided that, for the avoidance of
doubt, the Allowed amount of such Claims shall be subject to the limitations or maximum amounts permitted by the Bankruptcy Code, including
sections 502 and 503 of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent applicable.
D. | Estimation of Claims and 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 Interest that is contingent or unliquidated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy
Code for any reason, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim or Interest, and the Bankruptcy Court shall
retain jurisdiction to estimate any such Claim or Interest, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or Interest
or during the appeal relating to such objection. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim
or Interest, that estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim or 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 Interest.
E. | Adjustment to Claims or Interests without Objection |
Any duplicate
Claim or Interest or any Claim or Interest that has been paid, satisfied, amended, or superseded may be adjusted or expunged on the Claims
Register 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 Interest and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of
the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors shall provide any Holder of such a Claim or Interest with fourteen days’ notice prior to the Claim
or Interest being adjusted or expunged from the Claims Register as the result of a Claim or Interest being paid, satisfied, amended or
superseded.
F. | Disallowance of Claims or Interests |
Except as otherwise
expressly set forth herein, all Claims and Interests of any Entity from which property is sought by the Debtors under sections 542, 543,
550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors allege is a transferee of a transfer that is avoidable
under sections 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be disallowed if: (1) the Entity, on the
one hand, and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, on the other hand, agree or the Bankruptcy Court has determined by
Final Order that such Entity or transferee is liable to turn over any property or monies under any of the aforementioned sections of the
Bankruptcy Code; and (2) such Entity or transferee has failed to turn over such property by the date set forth in such agreement or Final
Order.
G. | No Distributions Pending Allowance |
Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan, if any portion of a Claim or Interest is a Disputed Claim or Interest, as applicable, no payment or distribution
provided hereunder shall be made on account of such Claim or Interest unless and until such Disputed Claim or Interest becomes an Allowed
Claim or Allowed Interest; provided that if only the Allowed amount of an otherwise valid Claim or Interest is Disputed, such Claim
or Interest shall be deemed Allowed in the amount not Disputed and payment or distribution shall be made on account of such undisputed
amount.
H. | Distributions After Allowance |
To the extent
that a Disputed Claim or Interest ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, distributions (if any) shall be made to the
Holder of such Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. On or as soon as reasonably practicable
after the next Distribution Date after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing any Disputed Claim or Interest
becomes a Final Order, the Disbursing Agent shall provide to the Holder of such Claim or 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 Interest. If the
Holder of a Claim incorporates more than one Claim in a Proof of Claim then: (i) such Claims will be considered one Claim for purposes
of this Plan; and (ii) no such Claim will be bifurcated into an Allowed portion and a Disputed portion.
ARTICLE VIII.
SETTLEMENT, RELEASE, INJUNCTION,
AND RELATED PROVISIONS
A. | Discharge of Claims and Termination of Interests |
Pursuant to section
1141(d) of the Bankruptcy Code to the fullest extent permitted thereunder, and except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or
the Confirmation Order, the distributions, rights and treatment that are provided in the Plan shall discharge, effective as of the Effective
Date, of all Claims, Interests and Causes of Action of any nature whatsoever, including any interest accrued on Claims or Interests from
and after the Petition Date, whether known or unknown, against, liabilities of, Liens on, obligations of, rights against and Interests
in, the Debtors or any of their assets or properties, regardless of whether any property shall have been distributed or retained pursuant
to the Plan on account of such Claims and Interests, including Causes of Action that arose before the Effective Date, any contingent or
non-contingent liability on account of representations or warranties issued on or before the Effective Date, and all debts of the kind
specified in sections 502(g), 502(h) or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, in each case whether or not: (i) a proof of claim or Interest based
upon such Claim, debt, right or Interest is filed or deemed filed pursuant to section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) a Claim or Interest
based upon such Claim, debt, right or Interest is Allowed pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code; or (3) the Holder of such a
Claim or Interest has accepted the Plan. The Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of the discharge of all Claims and Interests
subject to the Effective Date occurring, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan.
Except as otherwise
provided in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or in any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created or entered
into pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date and concurrently with the applicable distributions made pursuant to the Plan, all Liens,
pledges, or other security interests against any property of the Debtors and their Estates shall be fully released and discharged, and
all of the right, title, and interest of any holder of such Liens, pledges, or other security interests shall revert to the Reorganized
Debtors and their successors and assigns. Any Holder of a Secured Claim (and the applicable agents for such Holder) shall be authorized
and directed, at the sole cost and expense of the Reorganized Debtors, to release any collateral or other property of any Debtor (including
any cash collateral and possessory collateral) held by such Holder (and the applicable agents for such Holder), and to take such actions
as may be reasonably requested by the Reorganized Debtors to evidence the release of such Liens and/or security interests, including the
execution, delivery, and filing or recording of such releases. The presentation or filing of the Confirmation Order to or with any federal,
state, provincial, or local agency, records office, or department shall constitute good and sufficient evidence of, but shall not be required
to effect, the termination of such Liens.
To the extent that any
Holder of a Secured Claim that has been satisfied or discharged in full pursuant to the Plan, or any agent for such Holder, has
filed or recorded publicly any Liens and/or security interests to secure such Holder’s Secured Claim, then as soon as
practicable on or after the Effective Date, such Holder (or the agent for such Holder) shall take any and all steps requested by the
Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors that are necessary or desirable to record or effectuate the cancelation and/or extinguishment of
such Liens and/or security interests, including the making of any applicable filings or recordings, and the Reorganized Debtors
shall be entitled to make any such filings or recordings on such Holder’s behalf.
C. | Releases by the Debtors |
Notwithstanding
anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, pursuant to section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, in exchange for good and valuable
consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, on and after the Effective Date, each Released Party is deemed to hereby conclusively,
absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably and forever be released by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and their Estates, in each case
on behalf of themselves and their respective successors, assigns or assignees, and representatives, any and all other Persons that may
purport to assert any Claim or Cause of Action derivatively, by, through, for, or because of the foregoing Persons, solely in their capacities
as such, from any and all claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, remedies, actions, and Causes of Action,
whether known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, foreseen or unforeseen, accrued or unaccrued,
existing or hereinafter arising, whether in law or in equity, whether sounding in tort or contract, whether arising under federal or state
statutory or common law, or any other applicable international, foreign or domestic law, rule, statute, regulation, treaty, right, duty,
requirements or otherwise, including any derivative claims, asserted or assertable on behalf of the Debtors, that the Debtors, the Reorganized
Debtors, or their Estates, including any successors to or assigns of the Debtors or any Estate’s representative appointed or selected
pursuant to section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether individually
or collectively),derivatively, or on behalf of the Holder of any Claim against, or Interest in, a Debtor, or that any Holder of any Claim
against or Interest in a Debtor or other Entity could have asserted on behalf of the Debtors, based on or relating to or in any manner

of property under the Plan or any other related agreement, or upon any other act or omission, transaction, agreement, event, or other
occurrence related or relating to any of the foregoing taking place on or before the Effective Date.
Notwithstanding

under the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or any post-Effective Date transaction contemplated by the Restructuring Transactions or any document,

D. | Releases by the Releasing Parties |
As of the
Effective Date, each Releasing Party is deemed conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably and forever to have released each
Released Party from any and all claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, remedies, actions, and Causes
of Action, whether known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, foreseen or unforeseen, accrued
or unaccrued, existing or hereinafter arising, whether in law or in equity, whether sounding in tort or contract, whether arising under
federal or state statutory or common law, or any other applicable international, foreign or domestic law, rule, statute, regulation, treaty,
right, duty, requirements or otherwise including any derivative claims, asserted on behalf of the Debtors or the Estates, that such Entity
would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether individually or collectively) or on behalf of anyone claiming by
or through the Releasing Parties, based on or relating to or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Debtors (including the
management, ownership, or operation thereof or otherwise), the purchase, sale or rescission of any security of the Debtors, the business
or contractual arrangements between any Debtor and any other entity, the Debtors’ in- or out-of-court restructuring efforts, any
Avoidance Actions, intercompany transactions, the Chapter 11 Cases, the formulation, preparation, dissemination, solicitation, negotiation,

or distribution of securities pursuant to the Plan, or the distribution of property under the Plan or any other related agreement, or
upon any other act or omission, transaction, agreement, event, or other occurrence taking place on or before the Effective Date.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Third-Party Release does not release: (1) claims or liabilities arising from any act
or omission of a Released Party that constitutes fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence each solely to the extent as
determined by a Final Order of a court of competent jurisdiction; (2) any obligations arising on or after the Effective Date of any
party or Entity under the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or any post-Effective Date transaction contemplated by the Restructuring
Transactions or any document, instrument, or agreement (including those set forth in the Plan Supplement) executed to implement the
Plan or the Restructuring Transactions; or (3) the rights of any Holder of Allowed Claims to receive distributions under the
Plan.
Except as
otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, no Exculpated Party shall have or incur any liability for, and each Exculpated Party shall
be exculpated from any Cause of Action for any claim related to any act or omission occurring between the Petition Date and the Effective
Date in connection with, relating to or arising out of (i) the management, ownership or operation of the Debtors, (ii) the business or
contractual arrangements between any Debtor and any other entity, (iii) the Chapter 11 Cases, and (iv) any other act or omission, transaction,
agreement, event or other occurrence taking place on or before the Effective Date, including the formulation, preparation, dissemination,
negotiation, or filing of the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the DIP Facility, the New Preferred Stock, the New Common Stock, or any

anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the exculpation set forth above does not exculpate any obligations arising on or after the
Effective Date of any Person or Entity under the Plan, any post- Effective Date transaction contemplated by the Restructuring Transactions,
or any document, instrument, or agreement (including those set forth in the Plan Supplement) executed to implement the Plan. The Exculpated
Parties have, and upon completion of the Plan shall be deemed to have, participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable
laws with regard to the solicitation of votes and distribution of consideration pursuant to the Plan and, therefore, are not, and on account
of such distributions shall not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation
of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or such distributions made pursuant to the Plan. The exculpation will be in addition to, and
not in limitation of, all other releases, indemnities, exculpations and any other applicable law or rules protecting such Exculpated Parties
from liability.
Effective as of the
Effective Date, all Entities that have held, hold, or may hold claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts,
rights, remedies, actions, or Causes of Actions that have been released, discharged, or exculpated under the Plan or Confirmation
Order are permanently enjoined, from and after the Effective Date, from taking any of the following actions against, as applicable,
the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Exculpated Parties, or the any of the Released Parties (collectively, the
“Enjoined Matters”): (1) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind on
account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Enjoined Matters; (2) enforcing, attaching, collecting, or recovering
by any manner or means any judgment, award, decree, or order against such Entities on account of or in connection with or with
respect to any such Enjoined Matters; (3) creating, perfecting, or enforcing any Lien encumbrance of any kind against such Entities
or the property or the estates of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Enjoined Matters;
and (4) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or
with respect to any such Enjoined Matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the injunction set forth above
does not enjoin the enforcement of any obligations arising on or after the Effective Date of any Person or Entity under the Plan,
any post-Effective Date transaction contemplated by the Restructuring Transactions, or any document, instrument, or agreement
(including those set forth in the Plan Supplement) executed to implement the Plan.
Upon entry
of the Confirmation Order, all Holders of Claims and Interests and their respective current and former employees, agents, officers, directors,
managers, principals, and direct and indirect Affiliates, in their capacities as such, shall be enjoined from taking any actions to interfere
with the implementation or Consummation of the Plan.
G. | Protections Against Discriminatory Treatment |
Consistent with
section 525 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, all Governmental Units shall not discriminate against
the Reorganized Debtors or deny, revoke, suspend, or refuse to renew a license, permit, charter, franchise, or other similar grant to,
condition such a grant to, discriminate with respect to such a grant against, the Reorganized Debtors, or another Entity with whom the
Reorganized Debtors have been associated, solely because each Debtor has been a debtor under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, has been
insolvent before the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases (or during the Chapter 11 Cases but before the Debtors are granted or denied
a discharge), or has not paid a debt that is dischargeable in the Chapter 11 Cases.
On and after the
Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may maintain documents in accordance with their standard document retention policy, as may be
altered, amended, modified, or supplemented by the Reorganized Debtors.
I. | Reimbursement or Contribution |
If the Bankruptcy Court
disallows a Claim for reimbursement or contribution of an Entity pursuant to section 502(e)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, then to
the extent that such Claim is contingent as of the time of allowance or disallowance, such Claim shall be forever disallowed and
expunged notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless prior to the Confirmation Date (1) such Claim has been
adjudicated as non-contingent or (2) the relevant Holder of a Claim has Filed a non-contingent Proof of Claim on account of such
Claim and a Final Order has been entered prior to the Confirmation Date determining such Claim as no longer contingent.

B. | Immediate Binding Effect |
Subject to Article
IX.A hereof and notwithstanding Bankruptcy Rules 3020(e), 6004(h), or 7062 or otherwise, upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, the
terms of the Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the documents contained in the Plan Supplement) shall be immediately effective
and enforceable and deemed binding upon the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, any and all Holders of Claims against or Interests in the
Debtors (irrespective of whether such Holders have, or are deemed to have accepted the Plan), all Entities that are parties to or are
subject to the settlements, compromises, releases, discharges, and injunctions described in the Plan, each Entity acquiring property under
the Plan, and any and all non-Debtor parties to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases with the Debtors. All Claims and Interests shall

voted on the Plan.
On or before the Effective
Date, (1) the Debtors may file with the Bankruptcy Court such agreements and other documents as may be necessary to effectuate and
further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan and (2) the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and all Holders
of Claims against the Debtors receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan, and all other parties in interest, shall, from time to

be or shall be deemed to be an admission or waiver of any rights of any Debtor with respect to the Holders of Claims or Interests prior
to the Effective Date.
The rights, benefits,
and obligations of any Entity named or referred to in the Plan shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of any heir, executor,

After the Effective
Date, the Reorganized Debtors have the authority to send a notice to Entities that had requested to receive documents pursuant to Bankruptcy
Rule 2002, requesting that such Entity file a renewed request to receive documents pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002. After the Effective
Date, and provided such notice was sent, the Reorganized Debtors are authorized to limit the list of Entities receiving documents pursuant
to Bankruptcy Rule 2002 to those Entities who have Filed such renewed requests. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Reorganized
Debtors shall provide notice of any documents to all Entities whose rights are affected by any such document Filed by the Reorganized
Debtors.
H. | Term of Injunctions or Stays. |
Unless otherwise
provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order, all injunctions or stays in effect in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to sections 105
or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any order of the Bankruptcy Court, and extant on the Confirmation Date (excluding any injunctions or
stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order) shall remain in full force and effect until the Effective Date. All injunctions
or stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.
Except as otherwise
indicated, the Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the documents and instruments in the Plan Supplement) supersedes all previous
and contemporaneous negotiations, promises, covenants, agreements, understandings, and representations on such subjects, all of which
have become merged and integrated into the Plan.
All exhibits and documents
included in the Plan Supplement are incorporated into and are a part of the Plan as if set forth in full in the Plan. After the
exhibits and documents are Filed, copies of such exhibits and documents shall be available upon written request to the
Debtors’ counsel at the address above or by downloading such exhibits and documents from the Debtors’ restructuring
website at https://cases.ra.kroll.com/PARTSID or the Bankruptcy Court’s website at www.deb.uscourts.gov. To the extent any
exhibit or document is inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the Plan
Supplement shall control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Plan Supplement, and any exhibits, agreements, forms,
notices, and other documents contained therein shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Plan Sponsor.
K. | Nonseverability of Plan Provisions. |
If, prior to Confirmation,
any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court shall 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 shall then be
applicable as altered or interpreted; provided, however, any such alteration or interpretation shall be acceptable to the
Debtors and the Plan Sponsor. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions
of the 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 shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of
the Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is: (1) valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms;
(2) integral to the Plan and may not be deleted or modified without the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ consent, as applicable;
and (3) nonseverable and mutually dependent.
L. | Votes Solicited in Good Faith. |
Upon entry of
the Confirmation Order, the Debtors will be deemed to have solicited votes on the Plan in good faith and in compliance with section 1125(g)
of the Bankruptcy Code, and pursuant to section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors, the Plan Sponsor, and each of their respective
Affiliates, agents, representatives, members, principals, shareholders, officers, trustees, directors, employees, advisors, and attorneys
will be deemed to have participated in good faith and in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code in the offer, issuance, sale, and purchase
of securities offered and sold under the Plan and any previous plan, and, therefore, neither any of such parties or individuals or the
Reorganized Debtors will have any liability for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of
votes on the Plan or the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of the Securities offered and sold under the Plan and any previous plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, it
appearing to the Court that notice of the Combined Hearing and the opportunity for any party in interest to object to approval of
the Disclosure Statement, Confirmation of the Plan, and the entry of this Order were adequate and appropriate as to all parties
affected or to be affected by the Plan and the transactions contemplated thereby, and that the legal and factual bases set forth in
the documents filed in support of both approval of the Disclosure Statement and Confirmation of the Plan and other evidence
presented at the Combined Hearing establish just cause for the relief granted herein; and after due deliberation thereon and good
cause appearing therefor, the Court makes and issues the following findings of fact and conclusions of law, and orders:
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
OF LAW
IT IS DETERMINED, FOUND, ADJUDGED, DECREED, AND ORDERED THAT:
| A. | Findings and Conclusions |
1. The
determinations, findings, judgments, decrees, orders, and conclusions set forth in this Order and in the record of the Combined Hearing
constitute the Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law under Rule 52 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as made applicable
herein by Bankruptcy Rules 7052 and 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. | Jurisdiction, Venue, and Core Proceeding |
2. The
Court has jurisdiction over these Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors, property of the Debtors’ estates, and this matter under 28
U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 (the “Judicial Code”) and the Amended Standing Order of Reference from the
United States District Court for the District of Delaware, dated as of February 29, 2012. The Court has jurisdiction to
determine whether the Disclosure Statement and the Plan comply with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and should be
approved and confirmed, respectively. Approval of the Disclosure Statement, including the Solicitation Procedures, and Confirmation
of the Plan are core proceedings within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(L). Under Local Rule 9013-1(f), the Debtors
consented to the entry of a final judgment or order in accordance with the terms set forth herein if it is determined that the
Court, absent consent of the parties, cannot enter final orders or judgments consistent with Article III of the United States
Constitution. Venue of these Chapter 11 Cases in this District is proper under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.
3. The
Debtors were and are entities eligible for relief under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code.
| D. | Commencement and Joint Administration of these Chapter 11 Cases |
4. On
the Petition Date, each Debtor filed with this Court a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, commencing
its Chapter 11 Case. In accordance with the Order (I) Granting Joint Administration of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases, and (II)
Granting Related Relief [D.I. 42], these Chapter 11 Cases have been consolidated for procedural purposes only and are being jointly
administered under Bankruptcy Rule 1015. Since the Petition Date, the Debtors have operated their businesses and managed their properties
as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. No trustee or examiner has been appointed in these
Chapter 11 Cases, nor has any statutory committee of unsecured creditors or equity security holders been appointed in these Chapter 11
Cases.
5. Any
resolution of any objections to Confirmation filed on the docket or otherwise received by the Debtors that is explained on the record
of the Combined Hearing is hereby incorporated by reference. Any and all unresolved objections, statements, informal objections, and reservations
of rights related to the Disclosure Statement or Confirmation of the Plan are overruled on the merits.
| F. | Burden of Proof—Confirmation of the Plan |
6. The
Debtors, as Plan proponents, have met their burden of proving the applicable elements of sections 1129(a) and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy
Code by a preponderance of the evidence, which is the applicable evidentiary standard for Confirmation of the Plan.
7. As
evidenced by the Affidavits, due, adequate, and sufficient notice of the commencement of these Chapter 11 Cases, the Disclosure
Statement, the Plan, and the Combined Hearing, together with all deadlines for voting to accept or reject the Plan as well as to
object to the Disclosure Statement and the Plan (including the releases provided therein), have been provided to: (a) the Office of
the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware (the “U.S. Trustee”); (b) the Office of the United States
Attorney for the District of Delaware (the “U.S. Attorney”); (c) each of the parties included on the
Debtors’ consolidated list of thirty largest unsecured creditors (the “Top 30 Creditors”); (d) the Internal
Revenue Service (the “IRS”); (e) the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”); (f) counsel to the Senior Secured Lender; (g) counsel to the DIP Lender; (h) counsel to the MCA Lenders;
(i) the Subordinated Secured Noteholders; (j) Pravati Investment Fund IV LP; (k) counsel to the Vendor Group; all federal, state,
and local authorities that regulate any portion of the Debtors’ businesses; (l) all counterparties to executory contracts and
unexpired leases; (m) any party that has requested notice in these Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002; (n) all
parties entitled to notice under Local Rule 9013-1(m)(iii); and (o) all other parties reflected on the Debtors’ creditor
matrix in the Chapter 11 Cases (the parties identified in clauses (a) through (n), collectively, the “Notice
Parties”). Additionally, the Combined Notice was served via first class mail or email on the Notice Parties, the Holders
in Non-Voting Classes 9 and 12 on December 29, 2023 and to Holders in Non- Voting Class 13 on January 12, 2024. The Publication
Notice was published in The New York Times National Edition on January 2, 2024, in compliance with the Scheduling Order and
Bankruptcy Rule 2002(l). The Plan Supplement was served on the Notice Parties on January 12, 2024. Such notice of the aforementioned
documents was adequate and sufficient under section 1128 of the Bankruptcy Code, and in compliance with all applicable provisions of
the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules (including Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 3017, 3019, and 3020), the Local Rules, and other
applicable law and rules. No other or further notice is or shall be required.
| H. | Adequacy of the Disclosure Statement |
8. The
Disclosure Statement contains (a) sufficient information of a kind necessary to satisfy the disclosure requirements of all applicable
non-bankruptcy laws, rules, and regulations (including the Securities Act), and (b) “adequate information” (as such term is
defined in section 1125(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and used in section 1126(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code), with respect to the Debtors,
the Plan, and the transactions contemplated therein. The filing of the Disclosure Statement with the Clerk of the Court satisfied Bankruptcy
Rule 3016(b).
9. Holders
of Claims in Classes 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 were eligible to vote on the Plan (the “Voting Classes”). The Ballots the
Debtors used to solicit votes to accept or reject the Plan from Holders in the Voting Classes adequately addressed the particular
needs of these Chapter 11 Cases and were appropriate for Holders in the Voting Classes to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
10. Holders
of Claims or Interests in Classes 1, 2, 6, 11 (if the Intercompany Claims are Reinstated under the Plan, as determined by the Debtors
or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, with the consent of the Plan Sponsor), and 13 are Unimpaired under the Plan and, thus, are conclusively
presumed to have accepted the Plan. Classes 9, 10, 11 (if the Intercompany Claims are cancelled under the Plan, as determined by the
Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, with the consent of the Plan Sponsor), and 12 are Impaired under the Plan and deemed to
reject the Plan, and therefore, were not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan (the classes described in this paragraph, collectively,
the “Non-Voting Classes”).
11. As
set forth in the Voting Declaration, the Voting Classes voted to accept the Plan as follows:
Class |
Class Description |
Number Accepting |
Number Rejecting |

Thus, the Voting
Classes voted to accept the Plan in accordance with the requirements of sections 1124 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code.
12. The
Solicitation Procedures, and the solicitation of votes on the Plan in accordance with the Solicitation Procedures, were appropriate
and satisfactory based upon the circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases, were conducted in good faith, complied with sections 1125
and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 3017 and 3018, all other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy
Rules, Local Rules, and all other applicable non-bankruptcy rules, laws, and regulations, and were conditionally approved by the
Scheduling Order. The Solicitation Package, including the Ballots, (a) adequately addressed the particular needs of these Chapter 11
Cases; (b) was appropriate for Holders of Claims in the Voting Classes; and (c) complied with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code,
the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and any other applicable rules, laws, and regulations (including the Securities Act).
13. As described in the
Voting Declaration, the Scheduling Motion, the Peker Declaration, and the Confirmation Brief, prior to the Petition Date, the
Solicitation Packages were transmitted, distributed, and served to all Holders in the Voting Classes that held a Claim against the
Debtors as of December 8, 2023 (the “Voting Record Date”), in compliance with sections 1125 and 1126 of the
Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules (including rules 3017 and 3018), the Local Rules, the Scheduling Order, all applicable
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and all other rules, laws, and regulations applicable to
such solicitation. The instructions in each Solicitation Package, including in the Ballot, adequately informed the Holders of Claims
in the Voting Classes of the initial deadline of January 8, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time), which deadline was
subsequently extended to January 16, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. (the “Voting Deadline”)7 to submit completed
Ballots and how to properly complete and submit the Ballots. The establishment and notice of the Voting Record Date were reasonable
and sufficient, and the period during which the Debtors solicited votes to accept or reject the Plan provided a reasonable and
sufficient period of time for Holders of Claims in each Voting Class to make an informed decision to accept or reject the Plan. No
other or further notice or opportunity to vote on the Plan is or shall be required.
7 | The Voting Classes were notified of the extended Voting Deadline
pursuant to the Combined Hearing Notice and the Publication Notice. |
14. Under
section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, Holders of Claims or Interests in Classes 1, 2, 6, and 13 are Unimpaired under the Plan and, thus,
are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan. The Holders of Claims in the Unimpaired Classes as of the Voting Record Date were
served with a Combined Hearing Notice.
15. Holders
of Claims in Class 11 are Unimpaired and conclusively deemed to accept the Plan (to the extent Intercompany Interests are reinstated under
the Plan, as determined by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, with the consent of the Plan Sponsor), or are Impaired and
deemed to reject the Plan (to the extent Intercompany Interests are cancelled under the Plan, as determined by the Debtors or Reorganized
Debtors, as applicable, with the consent of the Plan Sponsor), and, in either event, are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the
Plan.
16. Holders
of Claims in Classes 9 (General Unsecured Claims), 10 (Intercompany Claims) and 12 (Existing Equity Interests) are Impaired and deemed
to reject the Plan. Classes 9 and 12 were nevertheless served with the Combined Hearing Notice. No other or further notice shall be required
for such Holders.
17. As
evidenced by the Voting Declaration, votes to accept or reject the Plan (and elections to opt-in to the Third-Party Releases) have been
solicited and tabulated fairly and accurately, in good faith, and in a manner consistent and in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code, the
Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, applicable non-bankruptcy laws, and the Solicitation Procedures conditionally approved by this Court
in the Scheduling Order.
18. The Plan Supplement
complies with the Bankruptcy Code and the Plan, and the filing and notice of such documents are good, proper and in accordance with
the Solicitation Procedures, the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and applicable non-bankruptcy law, and no
other or further notice is required. All documents included in the Plan Supplement are an integral part of and incorporated by
reference into the Plan.
19. Subject
to the Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any consent rights set forth or incorporated therein), and only consistent therewith,
the Debtors’ right to alter, amend, update, or modify, in each case in whole or in part, the Plan Supplement before the Effective
Date is reserved.
20. The
Debtors served the Plan Supplement Notice on all reasonable known parties in interest. No other or further notice is or shall be required.
| M. | Compliance with Bankruptcy Code Requirements (Section 1129(a)(1)) |
21. As
further described below, the Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 1122 and 1123, thereby
satisfying section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, the Plan is dated and identifies the Entities submitting it, thereby
satisfying Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a). The filing of the Disclosure Statement satisfied Bankruptcy Rule 3016(b).
| (i) | Proper Classification of Claims and Interests (Sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1)) |
22. The classification of
Claims and Interests under the Plan is proper under the Bankruptcy Code. In accordance with sections 1122(a) and 1123(a)(1) of the
Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan provides for the separate classification of Claims and Interests into thirteen Classes,
based on differences in the legal nature or priority of such Claims and Interests (other than Administrative Claims, DIP Claims,
Professional Fee Claims, and Priority Tax Claims, which are addressed in Article II of the Plan and which are not required to be
designated as separate Classes pursuant to section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code). Valid business, factual, and legal reasons
exist for the separate classification of the various Classes of Claims and Interests created under the Plan. The classifications
were not promulgated for any improper purpose, and the creation of such Classes does not unfairly discriminate between or among
Holders of Claims or Interests. In accordance with section 1122(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, each Class of Claims and Interests
contains only Claims or Interests that are substantially similar to the other Claims or Interests within that Class. The Plan,
therefore, satisfies sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.
| (ii) | Specified Unimpaired Classes (Section 1123(a)(2)) |
23. Article
III of the Plan specifies that Claims in Classes 1, 2, 6 and 11 (if the Intercompany Interests are Reinstated under the Plan, as determined
by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, with the consent of the Plan Sponsor), and 13 are Unimpaired within the meaning
of section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan, therefore, satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.
24. Additionally,
Article II of the Plan specifies that Allowed Administrative Claims, Professional Fee Claims, and Priority Tax Claims will be paid in
full in accordance with the terms of the Plan, although these Claims are not separately classified under the Plan.
| (iii) | Specified Treatment of Impaired Classes (Section 1123(a)(3)) |
25. Article
III of the Plan specifies that Classes 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 (if the Intercompany Interests are cancelled under the Plan, as determined
by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, with the consent of the Plan Sponsor), and 12 are Impaired under the Plan under
section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code and details the treatment of such Classes. The Plan, therefore, satisfies section 1123(a)(3) of the
Bankruptcy Code.
| (iv) | No Discrimination (Section 1123(a)(4)) |
26. Article III of the
Plan provides the same treatment for each Claim or Interest within a particular class unless the Holder of a particular Claim or
Interest has agreed to a less favorable treatment with respect to such Claim or Interest. The Plan therefore satisfies section
1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.
| (v) | Adequate Means for Plan Implementation (Section 1123(a)(5)) |
27. Article IV and
elsewhere in the Plan and the various documents, agreements, exhibits, and attachments to the Plan, the Plan Supplement, and the
Disclosure Statement provide detailed, adequate, and proper means for the Plan’s implementation including, but not limited to:
(a) authorization for the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, to take all actions necessary to effectuate the Plan,
including those actions necessary to effect the Restructuring Transactions, the Direct Investment Preferred Equity Raise, and any
restructuring transaction steps set forth in the Plan Supplement, as the same may be modified or amended from time to time prior to
the Effective Date, (b) the funding and sources of consideration for the Plan distributions, including the Direct Investment
Preferred Equity Raise, (c) the issuance of the New Preferred Stock and New Common Stock; (d) the adoption of the New Governance
Documents; (e) the continued corporate existence of the Debtors; (f) the vesting of all property of each Estate and all Causes of
Action in the Reorganized Debtors; (g) the cancellation, amendment, or amendment and restatement of prepetition agreements; (h) the
authorization and approval of corporate actions under the Plan; (i) the appointment of the New Board; and (j) the effectuation and
implementation of documents and further transactions. The Plan, therefore, satisfies section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.
| (vi) | Non-Voting Equity Securities (Section 1123(a)(6)) |
28. Article
IV.M of the Plan provides that the New Governance Documents will prohibit the issuance of non-voting equity securities to the extent required
under section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code. Thus, the Plan satisfies this provision.
| (vii) | Directors and Officers (Section 1123(a)(7)) |
29. The
Plan satisfies section 1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan Supplement sets forth the identities of all of the currently known
directors for the initial term of the New Board, consistent with the interests of all Holders of Claims and Interests and public policy.
The initial members of the New Board will be designated and appointed in accordance with the terms set forth in the New Governance Documents.
In subsequent terms, the directors will be selected in accordance with the New Governance Documents. Provisions regarding the removal,
appointment and replacement of members of the New Board will be set forth in the New Governance Documents. Each director and officer of
the Reorganized Debtors shall serve from and after the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of the applicable New Governance Documents
and other constituent documents. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies section 1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.
| N. | Additional Plan Provisions (Section 1123(b)) |
30. As
set forth below, the discretionary provisions of the Plan comply with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and are not inconsistent
with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Thus, section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code is satisfied.
| (i) | Impaired/Unimpaired Classes (Section 1123(b)(1)) |
31. The
Plan complies with section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Under Article III of the Plan, Classes 1, 2, 6, 11 (if the Intercompany
Interests are Reinstated under the Plan, as determined by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, with the consent of the Plan
Sponsor), and 13 are Unimpaired, and Classes 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 (if the Intercompany Interests are cancelled under the Plan, as
determined by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, with the consent of the Plan Sponsor), and 12 are Impaired.
| (ii) | Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases (Section 1123(b)(2)) |
32. The
Plan complies with section 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Article V of the Plan provides that, on the Effective Date, except as otherwise
provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument, release, indenture, or other agreement or document entered into in connection with
the Plan, each of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases shall be deemed assumed (or assumed and assigned to the
respective Reorganized Debtor, as applicable) as of the Effective Date, without the need for any further notice to or action, or separate
order or approval this Court, unless such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease: (i) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its
own terms, (ii) is on the Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Schedule (if any) as of the Effective Date, or (iii) is the
subject of a motion to reject filed on or before the Effective Date.
33. The
Debtors provided sufficient notice and an opportunity to object and be heard to each non-Debtor counterparty to an Executory Contract
or Unexpired Lease to be assumed, assumed and assigned, or rejected, as applicable, by the Debtors under the Plan, and no other or further
notice was or shall be required.
| (iii) | Releases, Exculpation, Injunction, and Preservation of Claims and Causes of Action
(Section 1123(b)(3)) |
34. The Plan complies with
section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. Article VIII.A of the Plan provides for the discharge of Claims against and terminated
Interests in the Debtors (the “Discharge”); Article VIII.B provides for the release of certain Liens against the
Debtors and property of their Estates (the “Lien Release”); Article VIII.C provides for the release of the
Released Parties by the Debtors and their Estates (the “Debtor Release”); Article VIII.D provides for the release
of the Released Parties by the Releasing Parties (the “Third-Party Release”); Article VIII.E provides for
exculpation of the Exculpated Parties (the “Exculpation”); and Article VIII.F provides for an injunction (the
“Injunction”), in each case as set forth in the Plan. These provisions were fully and conspicuously disclosed to
all parties in interest through the Ballots, the Combined Hearing Notice, and the Publication Notice, each of which excerpted the
full text of the release, exculpation, and injunction provisions as set forth in the Plan and, in the case of the Third-Party
Release, such provisions are fully consensual. The Court has jurisdiction under sections 1334(a)-(b) of the Judicial Code and
authority under section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code to approve each of the Discharge, the Lien Release, the Debtor Release, the
Third-Party Release, the Exculpation, and the Injunction.
35. As
has been established based upon the evidence presented at the Combined Hearing, the Discharge, the Lien Release, the Debtor Release, the
Third-Party Release, the Exculpation, and the Injunction (a) were given in exchange for good, valuable, and adequate consideration after
due notice and opportunity for hearing, (b) are appropriately tailored under the facts and circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases, (c)
were integral to the agreements and settlements among the various parties in interest and are essential to the formulation and implementation
of the Plan, as provided in section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, (d) confer substantial benefits on the Estates, (e) are fair, equitable,
and reasonable, and (f) are in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, and parties in interest. Further, the failure to implement
the Discharge, the Lien Release, the Debtor Release, the Third-Party Release, the Exculpation, and the Injunction would impair the Debtors’
ability to confirm and implement the Plan.
36. Releases. The
Debtor Release and the Third-Party Release represent a valid exercise of the Debtors’ business judgment, comply with
applicable law, and are fair, equitable, and necessary to the Plan, thereby satisfying the factors set forth in In re
Indianapolis Downs, LLC., 486 B.R. 286, 303 (Bankr. D. Del. 2013), In re Cont’l Airlines, Inc., 203 F.3d 203, 214
(3d Cir. 2000), and other applicable case law. Such releases are given in exchange for and are supported by fair, sufficient, and
adequate consideration provided to each and all of the parties providing such releases.
37. The
Third-Party Release is consensual with respect to the Releasing Parties because the releases therein are provided by parties who, as applicable,
(a) voted in favor of the Plan and to provide the Third-Party Release, or (b) voted to reject the Plan and affirmatively elected to opt-
in to providing the Third-Party Release. Importantly, Holders of Claims in the Non-Voting Classes and Holders of Claims that voted to
reject the Plan are not bound by the Third-Party Release. The Ballots sent to all Holders of Claims in the Voting Classes, unambiguously
stated that the Plan contains the Third-Party Release and clearly and conspicuously advised such parties that by voting to accept the
Plan, such Holders were consenting to provide the Third-Party Release. Accordingly, in light of all of the circumstances described herein,
the Third-Party Release satisfies the applicable standards for granting such releases.
38. Exculpation.
The Exculpation appropriately affords protection to those parties who constructively participated in and contributed to the Debtors’
chapter 11 process consistent with their duties under the Bankruptcy Code and is appropriately tailored to protect the Exculpated Parties
from inappropriate litigation. The Exculpation granted under the Plan is reasonable in scope as it does not relieve any party of liability
for an act or omission to the extent such act or omission is determined by final order to constitute actual fraud, willful misconduct,
or gross negligence. The Exculpation, including its carve-out for actual fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, is consistent
with established practice in this jurisdiction.
39. Injunction. The
Injunction is essential to implement the Plan and to preserve and enforce the Debtor Release, the Lien Release, the Third-Party
Release (solely with respect to the Releasing Parties), the Exculpation, and discharge provisions set forth in Article VIII of the
Plan. The Injunction is appropriately tailored to achieve those purposes.
40. Accordingly,
based upon the record of these Chapter 11 Cases, the representations of the parties and the evidence proffered, adduced, or presented
at the Combined Hearing, the Discharge, the Lien Release, the Debtor Release, the Third-Party Release (solely with respect to the Releasing
Parties), the Exculpation, and the Injunction set forth in Article VIII of the Plan are consistent with the Bankruptcy Code and applicable
law.
41. Release
of Liens. The Release of Liens described in Article VIII.B of the Plan is necessary to implement the Plan. The provisions of the Release
of Liens are appropriate, fair, equitable, and reasonable, and are in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, and Holders of Claims
and Interests.
42. Causes of
Action. In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, but subject to Article VIII of the Plan, each Reorganized
Debtor, as applicable, shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action
of the Debtors (other than Avoidance Actions with respect to Released Parties, any Holder of a General Unsecured Claim, and Vendors
in accordance with Article IV.V of the Plan), whether arising before or after the Petition Date, including any actions specifically
enumerated in the Schedule of Retained Causes of Action, and the Reorganized Debtors’ rights to commence, prosecute, or settle
such Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date. Causes of Action released by the
Debtors pursuant to the releases and exculpations contained in the Plan, including in Article VIII of the Plan, shall be deemed
released and waived by the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors as of the Effective Date. The provisions regarding the preservation
of Causes of Action in the Plan (including in Article IV.T) and the Plan Supplement, are appropriate, fair, equitable, and
reasonable, and are in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, and Holders of Claims and Interests.
| (iv) | Additional Plan Provisions (Section 1123(b)(6)) |
43. The
Plan contains certain other provisions that may be construed as permissive but are not required for confirmation under the Bankruptcy
Code. These discretionary provisions of the Plan are appropriate and consistent with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code,
thereby satisfying section 1123(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.
| O. | Debtors’ Compliance with the Bankruptcy Code (Section 1129(a)(2)) |
44. As
further described below, the Debtors have complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and, thus, satisfy the requirements
of section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Specifically, each Debtor:
| a. | is an eligible debtor under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code and a proper proponent
of the Plan under section 1121(a) of the Bankruptcy Code; |
| b. | has complied with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise
provided or permitted by orders of the Court; and |
| c. | has complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including sections
1125 and 1126, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, any applicable non-bankruptcy law, rule, or regulation, the Scheduling Order, and
all other applicable law, in transmitting the Solicitation Package and related documents and notices, and in soliciting and tabulating
the votes on the Plan. |
| P. | Plan Proposed in Good Faith (Section 1129(a)(3)) |
45. The Plan satisfies
section 1129(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. In so determining, the Court has examined the totality of the circumstances surrounding
the filing of these Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan, the process leading to confirmation, including the overwhelming support for the
Plan, and the transactions to be implemented pursuant thereto. The Plan and the Restructuring Transactions are the product of
arm’s-length negotiations by and among the Debtors and the Plan Sponsor, aimed at best positioning the Debtors for long-term
growth and success. This comports with one of the principal purposes of chapter 11: to enable a distressed entity to reorganize its
affairs, prevent job losses, and stave off the adverse economic effects associated with disposing of assets at liquidation
value.
46. The
Debtors commenced these Chapter 11 Cases and proposed the Plan with the legitimate and honest purpose of maximizing the value of the Debtors’
assets and maximizing distributions and/or recoveries to all stakeholders. Additionally, the Plan has been proposed in compliance with
applicable law, rules and regulations. The Plan was conceived and proposed with the “honest purpose” and “reasonable
hope of success” by which “good faith” under section 1129(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code is measured. Accordingly, the
Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. Based on the foregoing and the record of these Chapter 11
Cases, including, but not limited to, the Combined Hearing, the Peker Declaration, and the overwhelming support of the Holders of Claims
entitled to vote on the Plan, the Plan has been proposed in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law.
| Q. | Payment for Services or Costs and Expenses (Section 1129(a)(4)) |
47. The
procedures set forth in the Plan for the Court’s review and ultimate determination of the fees and expenses to be paid by the Debtors
in connection with these Chapter 11 Cases, or in connection with the Plan and incident to these Chapter 11 Cases, satisfy the objectives
of, and comply with, section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Court retains jurisdiction to hear and determine all applications
for Professional Fee Claims incurred on or before the Effective Date.
| R. | Directors, Officers, and Insiders (Section 1129(a)(5)) |
48. The Debtors have
satisfied section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code. Section 1129(a)(5) requires that the appointment of an individual to serve as
“a director, officer, or voting trustee of the debtor” be identified and be “consistent with the interests of
creditors and equity security holders and with public policy.” 11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(5)(A)(ii). The Debtors have made these
necessary disclosures in the Plan Supplement, and the Plan thus satisfies section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.
| S. | No Rate Changes (Section 1129(a)(6)) |
49. Section
1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code is not applicable to these Chapter 11 Cases. The Plan does not provide for any rate change that requires
regulatory approval.
| T. | Best Interest of Creditors (Section 1129(a)(7)) |
50. The
Plan satisfies section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Holder of a Claim or Interest either (a) has voted to accept the Plan,
(b) is Unimpaired and deemed to have accepted the Plan, or (c) shall 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 receive or retain if
the Debtors were to be liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on such date.
51. In
addition, the liquidation analysis attached as Exhibit D to the Disclosure Statement, as well as the other evidence related thereto in
support of the Plan, or at, prior to, or in connection with the Combined Hearing: (a) is reasonable, persuasive, and credible as of the
dates such analysis or evidence was prepared, presented, or proffered; (b) utilizes reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions;
(c) has not been controverted by any other evidence; and (d) establishes that each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest in each Class
will recover at least as much under the Plan on account of such Claim or Interest, as of the Effective Date, as such Holder would receive
if the Debtors were liquidated, on the Effective Date, under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.
| U. | Acceptance by Certain Classes (Section 1129(a)(8)) |
52. The
Impaired non-voting Classes are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan and therefore the Plan does not satisfy the requirements
of Section 1129(a)(8). However, the Plan is confirmable under section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code because Classes 3, 4, 5, 7 and
8 voted to accept the Plan and, with respect to the Impaired Non-Voting Classes, section 1129(b) is satisfied as set forth below.
| V. | Treatment of Claims Entitled to Priority Under Section 507(a) of the Bankruptcy Code
(Section 1129(a)(9)) |
53. The
Plan’s treatment of Administrative Claims (including, but not limited to, Professional Fee Claims) and Priority Tax Claims pursuant
to Article II of the Plan satisfies the requirements of, and complies in all respects with, sections 1129(a)(9)(A), (C), and (D) of the
Bankruptcy Code, as applicable. The treatment of Other Priority Claims under Article III of the Plan satisfies the requirements of, and
complies in all respects with, section 1129(a)(9)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors have sufficient Cash to pay Allowed Administrative
Claims, Priority Tax Claims, and Other Priority Claims.
| W. | Acceptance by at Least One Impaired Class (Section 1129(a)(10)) |
54. The Plan satisfies section
1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code. Classes 3, 4, 7 and 8 voted to accept the Plan by the requisite number of Holders of Claims and the
requisite amount of Claims, without including any acceptance of the Plan by any insider (as that term is defined in section 101(31) of
the Bankruptcy Code).8
8 | Class 5 (Subordinated Secured Note Claims) also voted to
accept the Plan, however each Holder of a Class 5 Subordinated Secured Note Claim is an “insider” as that term is defined
in section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code. |
| X. | Feasibility (Section 1129(a)(11)) |
55. The Plan satisfies section 1129(a)(11) of
the Bankruptcy Code. As reflected in the financial projections attached as Exhibit C to the Disclosure Statement (the
“Financial Projections”) and the other evidence supporting Confirmation of the Plan proffered or adduced by the
Debtors at, or prior to, the Combined Hearing, the Reorganized Debtors will have sufficient liquidity to honor their obligations
under the Plan and to fund their business operations after Confirmation of the Plan without the need for liquidation or further
financial reorganization. The Financial Projections and the other evidence supporting Confirmation of the Plan proffered or adduced
by the Debtors at, or prior to the Combined Hearing: (a) are reasonable, persuasive, and credible as of the dates such analysis or
evidence was prepared, presented, or proffered; (b) utilize reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions; (c) have not
been controverted by other evidence; (d) establish that the Plan is feasible and Confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be
followed by the liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of the Reorganized Debtors or any successor to the
Reorganized Debtors under the Plan, except as provided in the Plan; and (e) establish that the Reorganized Debtors shall have
sufficient liquidity and be able to meet their financial obligations under the Plan and in the ordinary course of their
businesses.
| Y. | Payment of Fees (Section 1129(a)(12)) |
56. The Plan satisfies
section 1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code. All fees due and payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930 (“Quarterly
Fees”) prior to the Effective Date shall be paid by the Debtors on the Effective Date. After the Effective Date, the
Reorganized Debtors (and any other Disbursing Agent) shall be jointly and severally liable, if applicable, to pay any and all
Quarterly Fees when due and payable. After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors (and any other Disbursing Agent) shall file
with the Bankruptcy Court separate UST Form 11-PCR reports when they become due. Each and every one of the Debtors and Reorganized
Debtors (and any other Disbursing Agent) shall remain obligated to pay Quarterly Fees to the Office of the U.S. Trustee until that
particular Debtor’s Chapter 11 Case is converted to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, dismissed, or closed,
whichever occurs first. The U.S. Trustee shall not be required to file any Administrative Claim in these Chapter 11 Cases and shall
not be treated as providing any release under the Plan.
| Z. | Continuation of Retiree Benefits (Section 1129(a)(13)) |
57. The
Plan satisfies section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code. Article V.H of the Plan provides that, from and after the Effective Date, all
retiree benefits (as such term is defined in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code), if any, shall be paid in accordance with applicable
law.
| AA. | Non-Applicability of Certain Sections (Sections 1129(a)(14), (15), and (16)) |
58. Sections
1129(a)(14), 1129(a)(15), and 1129(a)(16) of the Bankruptcy Code do not apply to these Chapter 11 Cases. The Debtors do not owe any domestic
support obligations, are not individuals, and are not non-profit corporations.
| BB. | “Cram Down” Requirements (Section 1129(b)) |
59. The Plan satisfies
section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code. Notwithstanding the fact that the Impaired Non-Voting Classes have been deemed to reject
the Plan, the Plan may be confirmed pursuant to section 1129(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code since Impaired Classes 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8
voted to accept the Plan. First, all of the requirements of section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code other than section 1129(a)(8)
have been met. Second, the Plan is fair and equitable with respect to the Impaired Non-Voting Classes. The Plan has been proposed in
good faith, is reasonable, and meets the requirements that (a) no holder of any Claim or Interest that is junior to each Impaired
Non-Voting Class will receive or retain any property from the Debtors under the Plan on account of such junior Claim or Interest in
violation of the absolute priority rule and (b) no holder of a Claim in a Class senior to such Class is receiving more than 100% on
account of its Claim. Accordingly, the Plan is fair and equitable to all holders of Claims and Interests in the Impaired Non-Voting
Classes. Third, the Plan does not discriminate unfairly with respect to the Impaired Non-Voting Classes because similarly situated
creditors and interest holders will receive substantially similar treatment on account of their Claims and Interests. The Plan may
therefore be confirmed despite the fact that not all Impaired Classes have voted to accept the Plan.
| CC. | Only One Plan (Section 1129(c)) |
60. The
Plan satisfies section 1129(c) of the Bankruptcy Code as the Plan is the only chapter 11 plan filed in each of these Chapter 11 Cases.
| DD. | Principal Purpose of the Plan (Section 1129(d)) |
61. The
Plan satisfies section 1129(d) of the Bankruptcy Code as 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. No Governmental Unit has requested that the Court not confirm the Plan on such
grounds.
| EE. | Not Small Business Cases (Section 1129(e)) |
62. Section
1129(e) of the Bankruptcy Code does not apply to these Chapter 11 Cases as none of these Chapter 11 Cases are a “small business
case,” as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code.
| FF. | Good Faith Solicitation (Section 1125(e)) |
63. The
Debtors and their agents solicited and tabulated votes on the Plan and participated in the activities described in section 1125 of the
Bankruptcy Code fairly, in good faith within the meaning of section 1125(e), and in a manner consistent with the Disclosure Statement,
the Scheduling Order, the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and all other applicable rules, laws, and regulations.
64. The
Debtors and their agents participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code with regard
to the offering, issuance, and distribution of recoveries under the Plan and therefore are not, and on account of such distributions will
not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections
of the Plan or distributions made pursuant to the Plan, so long as such distributions are made consistent with and pursuant to the Plan.
65. The
Debtors participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code in the offer, issuance, sale,
solicitation, and/or purchase of the securities offered under the Plan.
66. Based
on the foregoing, the Debtors and their agents are entitled to the protections afforded by section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and
the Exculpation provisions set forth in Article VIII.E of the Plan.
| GG. | Satisfaction of Confirmation Requirements |
67. 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 Combined Hearing, the Plan satisfies the requirements for
confirmation set forth in section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.
| HH. | Likelihood of Satisfaction of Conditions Precedent to the Effective Date |
68. Each
condition precedent to the Effective Date set forth in Article IX.A of the Plan has been or is reasonably likely to be satisfied or waived
in accordance with Article IX.B of the Plan.
69. The Debtors and the
Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, are authorized, without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Court, to
finalize, execute, and deliver all agreements, documents, instruments, and certificates relating thereto and perform their
obligations thereunder in accordance with the Plan.
70. The
Debtors have disclosed all material facts regarding the Plan, including with respect to the consummation of the Restructuring Transactions,
the Plan Supplement, and the adoption, execution, and implementation of the other matters provided for under the Plan involving corporate,
limited liability company, or other governance action taken or to be taken by or required of the Debtors.
71. The
Debtors, the Released Parties, the Exculpated Parties, and the Related Parties of each of the foregoing, as applicable, have acted in
“good faith” within the meaning of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and in compliance with the applicable provisions
of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the Local Rules in connection with all of their respective activities relating to support
of the Plan and this Order, including their participation in these Chapter 11 Cases, and the activities described in section 1125 of the
Bankruptcy Code, and are entitled to the protections afforded by section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.
72. The
Debtors proposed the Plan in good faith and not by any means prohibited by law, with the legitimate and honest purpose of maximizing the
value of the Debtors’ Estates for the benefit of their stakeholders. The Plan accomplishes this goal. The Plan is the product of
extensive, good faith, arm’s-length negotiations among the Debtors and their principal constituencies. Accordingly, the Debtors,
the Released Parties, and the Exculpated Parties have acted in good faith within the meaning of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED, DECREED, AND
DETERMINED THAT:
1. Findings
of Fact and Conclusions of Law. The above-referenced findings of fact and conclusions of law are hereby incorporated by reference
as though fully set forth herein and constitute findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 7052, made applicable
herein by Bankruptcy Rule 9014. To the extent that any finding of fact is determined to be a conclusion of law, it is deemed so, and vice
versa.
2. Objections.
Any and all objections, responses, statements, reservation of rights, and comments in opposition to the Plan and the Disclosure Statement,
other than those withdrawn with prejudice in their entirety, waived, settled, or resolved prior to the Combined Hearing, or otherwise
resolved on the record of the Combined Hearing and/or herein, are hereby overruled and denied on the merits.
3. Disclosure
Statement. The Disclosure Statement (a) contains information of a kind generally consistent with the disclosure requirements of applicable
non-bankruptcy law (including the Securities Act), (b) contains “adequate information” (as such term is defined in section
1125(a)(1) and used in section 1126(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code) with respect to the Debtors, the Plan, and the transactions contemplated
therein, and (c) is APPROVED in all respects.
4. Solicitation
Procedures. The Solicitation Procedures were appropriate and satisfactory under the circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases and satisfy
the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and applicable non-bankruptcy law and are hereby approved
in all respects.
5. Ballots.
The form of Ballots attached as Exhibits 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 to the Scheduling Order comply with Bankruptcy Rule 3018(c), conform to Official
Form No. 14, and are approved in all respects.
6. Tabulation
Procedures. The procedures used for tabulations of votes to accept or reject the Plan, as set forth in the Disclosure Statement and
the Scheduling Motion and Scheduling Order, are approved in all respects.
7. Voting.
The Voting Record Date is approved in all respects. The Voting Deadline with respect to the Voting Classes provided a reasonable and sufficient
time to make an informed decision to accept or reject the Plan and is approved in all respects.
8. Confirmation of the Plan. The
Plan, attached to this Order as Exhibit A, is hereby approved in its entirety and CONFIRMED under section 1129
of the Bankruptcy Code. Each of the terms and conditions of the Plan and all related documents (including any supplements,
amendments, or modifications thereof or thereto in accordance with this Order and the Plan), including, without limitation, the
documents contained in the Plan Supplement, is an integral part of this Order and the Plan and is hereby approved in all respects.
The Debtors are authorized to enter into and execute all documents and agreements related to the Plan (including all documents
referred to therein or herein and any related documents), and the execution, delivery, and performance thereafter by the Reorganized
Debtors, are hereby approved and authorized in all respects.
9. Deemed Acceptance of
Plan as Modified. The Plan and this Order include modifications (the “Plan Modifications”) that were made by
the Debtors postpetition to address concerns raised by parties in interest and are non-material, do not materially or adversely
change the treatment of any Claims or Existing Equity Interests, and do not cause the Plan to fail to meet any of the requirements
of sections 1122 of 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan Modifications comply with section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and
Bankruptcy Rule 3019. Moreover, the Debtors’ key constituents affected by the Plan Modifications support these changes.
Accordingly, no additional solicitation or disclosure was required on account of the Plan Modifications and all Holders of Claims
who voted to accept the Plan or who are conclusively presumed to accept the Plan are deemed to have accepted the Plan as modified,
revised, supplemented, or otherwise amended. No Holder of a Claim shall be permitted to change its vote as a consequence of the Plan
Modifications.
10. Plan
Classifications Controlling. The terms of the Plan shall solely govern the classification of Claims and Interests for purposes of
the distributions and treatment thereunder. The classifications set forth on the Ballots tendered to or returned by the Holders of Claims
in connection with voting on the Plan: (a) were set forth thereon 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 Claims under the Plan
for distribution purposes; (c) may not be relied upon by any Holder of a Claim as representing the actual classification of such Claim
under the Plan for distribution purposes; and (d) shall not be binding on the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or Holders of Claims for
purposes other than voting on the Plan.
11. Corporate
Action. Notwithstanding any provisions of the applicable state law, including the Delaware General Corporate Law (including
section 303 thereof), and the comparable provisions of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, section 1142(b) of the Bankruptcy
Code and any other comparable provisions under any applicable law, no action of the respective directors, equity holders, managers
or members of the Debtors is required to authorize the Debtors to enter into, execute, deliver, file, adopt, amend, restate,
consummate or effectuate, as the case may be, the Plan, the Restructuring Transactions, and any contract, assignment, certificate,
instrument or other document to be executed, delivered, adopted or amended in connection with the implementation of the Plan. In
particular, on or before the Effective Date, as applicable, all actions contemplated under the Plan (including under the documents
contained in the Plan Supplement) shall be deemed authorized and approved by the Bankruptcy Court in all respects without any
further corporate or equity holder action, including, as applicable: (1) the selection and appointment of the directors, managers,
and officers for the Reorganized Debtors, including the appointment of the New Board; (2) the authorization, issuance and
distribution of the New Preferred Stock and the New Common Stock and the execution, delivery, and filing of any documents pertaining
thereto, including the Direct Investment Documents; (3) the implementation of the Restructuring Transactions; (4) all other actions
contemplated under the Plan (whether to occur before, on, or after the Effective Date); (5) the adoption of the New Governance
Documents; (6) the assumption, assumption and assignment, or rejection, as applicable, of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases;
and (7) all other acts or actions contemplated or reasonably necessary or appropriate to promptly consummate the Restructuring
Transactions contemplated by the Plan (whether to occur before, on, or after the Effective Date).
12. Upon the Effective
Date, all matters provided for in the Plan involving the structure of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, and any corporate,
limited liability company, or other governance action required by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, in
connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be in effect, without any requirement of further action by the
Security holders, members, directors, managers or officers of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable. On or (as
applicable) prior to the Effective Date, the appropriate members, directors, managers and officers of the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors, as applicable, shall be authorized and (as applicable) directed to issue, execute, and deliver the agreements, documents,
Securities, and instruments contemplated under the Plan (or necessary or desirable to effect the transactions contemplated under the
Plan) in the name of and on behalf of the Reorganized Debtors, including the New Preferred Stock and the New Common Stock, the New
Governance Documents, and any and all other agreements, documents, Securities, and instruments relating to the foregoing. The
authorizations and approvals contemplated by Article IV.L of the Plan shall be effective notwithstanding any requirements under
non-bankruptcy law.
13. Means
for Implementation of the Plan. Each of the provisions governing the means for implementation of the Plan set forth in Article IV
of the Plan shall be, and hereby are, approved in all respects. The Debtors are authorized to take all actions reasonably necessary to
implement the Plan on the terms set forth in Article IV of the Plan. Further, upon the Effective Date, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors,
as applicable, are authorized to make the payments or other distributions set forth in Article II and Article III of the Plan.
14. Exemption from
Certain Taxes and Fees. To the fullest extent permitted by section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any issuance, transfers, or
exchanges (whether from a Debtor to a Reorganized Debtor or to any other Person) of any securities (including the New Preferred
Stock and New Common Stock) or any makings or deliveries of instruments of transfer under the Plan shall not be subject to any tax
under any law imposing a stamp tax or similar tax. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may request a
determination by a state or local governmental unit charged with responsibility for the collection or determination of a tax on or
measured by income of the tax effects, under section 346 of this title and under the law imposing such tax, of the Plan, with such
determination being limited to questions of law.
15. New
Preferred Stock and New Common Stock. On the Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Restructuring
Transactions, Reorganized PARTS iD, Inc. shall issue the New Preferred Stock and the New Common Stock. Each distribution and issuance
of the New Preferred Stock and the New Common Stock shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the instruments evidencing or relating
to such distribution and/or issuance, as applicable, including the New Governance Documents, which terms and conditions shall be deemed
valid, binding, and enforceable against each Entity receiving such distribution and/or issuance of the New Preferred Stock and the New
Common Stock without the need for execution by any party thereto other than the applicable Reorganized Debtor(s). Any Entity’s acceptance
of New Preferred Stock and New Common Stock shall be deemed as its agreement to the New Governance Documents, as applicable, as the same
may be amended or modified from time to time following the Effective Date in accordance with their terms.
16. Exemption from
Registration Requirements. To the fullest extent permitted by section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the offer, distribution,
and issuance, as applicable, of the New Preferred Stock and the New Common Stock (collectively, the “Plan
Securities”) under the Plan and the Restructuring Transactions shall be exempt from registration and prospectus delivery
requirements under applicable securities laws (including Section 5 of the Securities Act or any similar state or local law requiring
the registration and/or delivery of a prospectus for offer or sale of a security or registration or licensing of an issue of a
security) pursuant to section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Any Plan Securities provided
in reliance on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) of such act will be provided in
a private placement. All Plan Securities issued to Holders of Allowed Claims on account of their respective Claims shall be issued
without registration under the Securities Act or any similar federal, state, or local law in reliance on section 1145(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code. All Plan Securities shall be issued without registration under the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated
thereunder.
17. New
Governance Documents. The terms of the New Governance Documents substantially in the form attached to the Plan Supplement as Exhibits
A, B, C and D are approved in all respects. The obligations of the applicable Reorganized Debtors related thereto, will, upon execution,
constitute legal, valid, binding, and authorized obligations of each of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, enforceable
in accordance with their terms and not in contravention of any state or federal law. On the Effective Date, without any further action
by the Court or the directors, officers, or equity holders of any of the Reorganized Debtors, each Reorganized Debtor, as applicable,
will be and is authorized to enter into the New Governance Documents and all related documents, to which such Reorganized Debtor is contemplated
to be a party on the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Order or Article XI of the Plan, after the Effective
Date, any disputes arising under the New Governance Documents will be governed by the jurisdictional provisions therein.
18. New Board. The
current Board shall be deemed to resign on and as of the Effective Date, in each case without further notice to or order of this
Court, act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or the vote, consent, authorization or approval of any Person
or Entity. On the Effective Date, the members of the New Board identified in the Plan Supplement shall be designated and appointed
in accordance with the terms set forth in the New Governance Documents and as identified in the Plan Supplement. Each such member of
the New Board shall serve from and after the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of the New Governance Documents and other
constituent documents of Reorganized PARTS iD, Inc.
19. Compliance
with Tax Requirements. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable,
and the Disbursing Agent shall be authorized to take all actions necessary 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 (subject to reasonable consultation with the Plan Sponsor). The Debtors or Reorganized
Debtors, as applicable, reserve the right, with the consent of the Plan Sponsor, 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.
20. Allowance
of Claims. After the Effective Date, except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Plan, each of the Reorganized Debtors shall have
and retain any and all rights and defenses such Debtor had with respect to any Claim or Interest immediately prior to the Effective Date.
The Reorganized Debtors may affirmatively determine to deem Unimpaired Claims Allowed to the same extent such Claims would be allowed
under applicable non-bankruptcy law.
21. Disputed Claims
Process. Notwithstanding section 502(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, there is no requirement to file a Proof of Claim (or move the
Bankruptcy Court for allowance) to have a Claim Allowed for the purposes of the Plan. In accordance with the Plan, a Claim may be
Allowed pursuant to a Final Order by a court of competent jurisdiction. On and after the Effective Date, except as otherwise
provided in the Plan, all Allowed Claims shall be satisfied in the ordinary course of business of the Reorganized Debtors as if the
Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced (except that, unless expressly waived pursuant to the Plan, the Allowed amount of such
Claims shall be subject to the limitations or maximum amounts permitted by the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 502 and 503 of
the Bankruptcy Code).
22. The
following provision located at Article VII.A. of the Plan is stricken in its entirety:
All Proofs of Claim Filed in these
Chapter 11 Cases shall be considered objected to and Disputed without further action by the Debtors. Upon the Effective Date and in light
of the treatment of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims under the Plan, all Proofs of Claim filed against the Debtors, regardless of
the time of filing, and including Proofs of Claim filed after the Effective Date, shall be deemed withdrawn and expunged, other than as
provided below.
23. The Debtors and the
Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have the authority to (1) determine, without the need for notice to or action, order, or
approval of the Bankruptcy Court, that a claim subject to any Proof of Claim that is Filed is Allowed and (2) file, settle,
compromise, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any objections to Claims as permitted under this Plan. If the Debtors or Reorganized
Debtors dispute any Claim, such dispute shall be determined, resolved, or adjudicated, as the case may be, in the manner as if the
Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced and shall survive the Effective Date as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced; provided
that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may elect to object to any Claim (other than Claims expressly Allowed by the Plan)
and to have the validity or amount of any Claim adjudicated by the Bankruptcy Court; provided, further, that Holders
of Claims may elect to resolve the validity or amount of any Claim in the Bankruptcy Court. If a Holder makes such an election, the
Bankruptcy Court shall apply the law that would have governed the dispute if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been filed. All Proofs of
Claim Filed in the Chapter 11 Cases shall be considered objected to and Disputed without further action by the Debtors. Except as
otherwise provided in the Plan, all Proofs of Claim Filed after the Effective Date shall be disallowed, have no force and effect,
and all rights related to such Claim shall be governed by the provisions of the Plan.
24. Restructuring
Transactions. On or before the Effective Date, the applicable Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (and their respective officers,
directors, members, or managers (as applicable)) shall enter into and shall take any actions as may be necessary or appropriate to
effectuate the Plan, which may include: (1) the execution, delivery, filing, registration or recordation of appropriate agreements
or other documents of merger, amalgamation, consolidation, restructuring, conversion, disposition, transfer, arrangement,
continuance, dissolution, sale, purchase, or liquidation containing terms that are consistent with the terms of the Plan and that
satisfy the applicable requirements of applicable law and any other terms to which the applicable Entities may agree, including the
documents constituting the Plan Supplement; (2) the execution, delivery, filing, registration or recordation of appropriate
instruments of transfer, assignment, assumption, or delegation of any asset, property, right, liability, debt, or obligation on
terms consistent with the terms of the Plan and having other terms for which the applicable Entities may agree; (3) the execution,
delivery, filing, registration or recordation of appropriate certificates or articles of incorporation, formation, reincorporation,
merger, consolidation, conversion, amalgamation, arrangement, continuance, or dissolution pursuant to applicable law; (4) the
execution, delivery, filing, registration or recordation of the New Governance Documents; (5) the issuance, distribution,
reservation, or dilution, as applicable, of the New Preferred Stock and New Common Stock, as set forth herein; and (6) all other
actions that the applicable Entities determine to be necessary, including making filings or recordings that may be required by
applicable law in connection with the Plan. All Holders of Secured Claims, Vendor Claims and Convenience Claims, as applicable, and
all other necessary parties in interest, including any and all agents thereof, shall prepare, execute, and deliver any agreements or
documents, and take any other actions as the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and the Plan Sponsor may jointly
determine are necessary to effectuate the provisions of the Plan with respect to any Lien or the provision of Favorable Trade Terms.
This Order shall be deemed to, pursuant to sections 363 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, authorize, among other things, all actions
as may be necessary or appropriate to effect any transaction described in, contemplated by, or necessary to effectuate the Plan,
including the Restructuring Transactions.
25. Vesting
of Assets in the Reorganized Debtors. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, or any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated
in, or entered into in connection with or pursuant to, the Plan or Plan Supplement, on the Effective Date, all property in each Debtor’s
Estate, all Causes of Action (other than Avoidance Actions with respect to Released Parties, any Holder of a General Unsecured Claim,
and Vendors in accordance with Article IV.V of the Plan), and any property acquired by any of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan shall vest
in each respective Reorganized Debtor, 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, 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.
26. Cancelation and
Surrender of Instruments and Agreements. On the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, each Holder of a
certificate or instrument evidencing a Claim or an Interest that has been canceled in accordance with Article IV.J of the Plan shall
be deemed to have surrendered such certificate or instrument to the Disbursing Agent. Such surrendered certificate or instrument
shall be canceled solely with respect to the Debtors, and such cancelation shall not alter the obligations or rights of any
non-Debtor third parties in respect of 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 Interest, which shall continue in effect for purposes of
allowing Holders to receive distributions under the Plan, charging liens, priority of payment, and indemnification rights.
27. Treatment
of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. The provisions governing the treatment of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases set
forth in Article V of the Plan shall be, and hereby are, approved in their entirety. For the avoidance of doubt, entry of this Order constitutes
the Court’s approval of the assumption (or assumption and assignment to the applicable Reorganized Debtor, as applicable) of each
of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective
Date, without the need for any further notice to or action, or separate order or approval this Court, unless such Executory Contract or
Unexpired Lease (i) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms, (ii) is on the Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired
Leases Schedule (if any) as of the Effective Date, or (iii) is the subject of a motion to reject filed on or before the Effective Date.
28. Except as otherwise
provided herein or agreed to by the Debtors (with the consent of the Plan Sponsor) and the applicable counterparty, each assumed
Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements
related thereto, and all rights related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities,
options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests. 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.
29. Entry
of this Order constitutes an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the assumptions, assumptions and assignments, and related Cure amounts
with respect thereto, or rejections of the Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases as set forth in the Plan or the Schedule of Proposed
Cure Amounts or the Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Schedule, pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy
Code. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in the Plan, assumptions or rejections of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant
to the Plan are effective as of the Effective Date. Each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan or by Bankruptcy
Court order but not assigned to a third party on or before the Effective Date shall re-vest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable
contracting Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as such terms may have been modified by the provisions of the Plan
or any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption. All assumed Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases
will be enforceable by the Reorganized Debtors in accordance with their terms notwithstanding any provision in such contract or lease
that prohibits, restricts or conditions assumption, assignment or transfer.
30. Any
provision in any such contract or lease that permits a Person to terminate or modify such agreement or to otherwise modify the
rights of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors or assignee, as applicable, based on the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases or the
financial condition of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will be unenforceable. To the extent any provision in
any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed or assumed and assigned under the Plan (including any “change of
control” provision) restricts, conditions, or prevents, or purports to restrict, condition, or prevent, or is breached or
deemed breached by, the Debtors’ assumption or assumption and assignment of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, then
such provision shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan shall not entitle the non-Debtor party
or parties thereto to terminate such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to exercise any other default-related rights with
respect thereto.
31. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve the right, with the consent of the
Plan Sponsor, to alter, amend, modify, or supplement the Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Schedule (if any) or Schedule
of Proposed Cure Amounts at any time up to thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable,
shall file with the Bankruptcy Court and serve on the applicable counterparty notice regarding any change to the Rejected Executory Contracts
and Unexpired Leases Schedule (if any) or the Schedule of Proposed Cure Amounts, as applicable, and the counterparty shall have fourteen
days from service of such notice to file an objection with the Bankruptcy Court.
32. Compensation
and Benefits Programs. Except as set forth in the Plan, all Compensation and Benefits Programs (including all employment
agreements and employment letters, severance plans and amendments thereto, severance letters and severance agreements, retention
plans and letters, annual incentive plans (whether based on the Debtors’ or individual employee performance) and other
agreements entered into with current and former officers and other employees and effective as of the date hereof) shall be deemed
assumed on the Effective Date pursuant to the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such agreement (i)
previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms; or (ii) is the subject of a motion to reject filed on or before the
Effective Date; provided, however, that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, with the consent of the
Plan Sponsor, may alter, amend, modify, or supplement the Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Schedule (if any) or
Schedule of Proposed Cure Amounts relating to the Compensation and Benefits Programs at any time up to thirty (30) days after the
Effective Date in accordance with Section V.A and V.F of the Plan. The assumption of any Compensation and Benefits Programs shall
not be deemed approval of any Administrative Claim or Cure amount for any payments that are subject to section 503(c) of the
Bankruptcy Code.
33. Assumption
of Insurance Policies. Each of the Debtors’ insurance policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto,
are treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, on the Effective Date, (1) the Debtors shall
be deemed to have assumed all insurance policies and any agreements, documents, and instruments relating to coverage of all insured Claims
and (2) such insurance policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto shall revest in the Reorganized Debtors.
34. Cigna
Health and Life Insurance Policies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, or in any notice related thereto, the
two policies through which Cigna Health and Life Insurance Company facilitates the Debtors’ fully-insured employee medical,
prescription, dental, and vision benefits plan (jointly, the “Cigna Policies”) shall be assumed under the Plan,
and, in lieu of cure, all obligations due and unpaid under the Cigna Policies accruing prior to the Effective Date shall be
unimpaired and reinstated, and nothing in this Confirmation Order or section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code shall affect such
obligations.
35. Provisions
Governing Distributions. The distribution provisions of Article VI of the Plan are hereby approved in their entirety. The distributions
and payments made pursuant to the Plan shall be permanent, irrevocable, and indefeasible and shall not be subject to avoidance, turnover,
recharacterization or adjustment in any respect unless otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or this Order.
36. Release,
Injunction, and Related Provisions. The discharge, release, exculpation, injunction and related provisions set forth in Article VIII
of the Plan are hereby approved and authorized in their entirety, including, but not limited to:
| a. | Discharge of Claims. The discharge of claims set forth

in Article VIII.B. |

Release set forth in Article VIII.D. |
| e. | Exculpation. The Exculpation set forth in Article
VIII.E. |

37. For
the avoidance of doubt, under Bankruptcy Rule 3020(c)(1), the Discharge, the Lien Release, the Debtor Release, the Third-Party Release,
the Exculpation, and the Injunction provisions in the Plan are hereby approved and will be effective immediately on the Effective Date
without further order or action by the Bankruptcy Court, any of the parties to such release, or any other Entity.
38. Utility
Order. On or as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors are authorized to withdraw the funds
held in the segregated account pursuant to the Final Order (I) Authorizing the Debtors’ Proposed Form of Adequate Assurance
of Payment to Utility Companies, (II) Establishing Procedures For Resolving Objections by Utility Companies, (III) Prohibiting
Utility Companies From Altering, Refusing, or Discontinuing Service, and (IV) Granting Related Relief [D.I. 90] (the
“Utility Order”), and the Reorganized Debtors shall have no further obligations to comply with the Utility Order,
and shall be authorized to withdraw all monies maintained in the segregated adequate assurance account. If applicable, all
utilities, including any Person or Entity that received a deposit or other form of adequate assurance of performance under section
366 of the Bankruptcy Code during these Chapter 11 Cases in compliance with the Utility Order or otherwise, must return such deposit
or other form of adequate assurance of performance to the Reorganized Debtors within thirty days of the Effective Date, provided
that any such utility may apply such deposit or other form of adequate assurance of performance to the Reorganized
Debtors’ account within 30 days of the Effective Date.
39. Conditions
Precedent to the Effective Date. The provisions governing the conditions precedent to the Effective Date set forth in Article IX.A
of the Plan are hereby approved in their entirety. The Debtors are authorized to consummate the Plan at any time after the entry of this
Order, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the provisions set forth in Article IX.A of the Plan pursuant to their terms.
40. Reporting.
After the Effective Date, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have no obligation to provide any reports to any parties
otherwise required under the “first” day orders and any “second” day orders entered in the Chapter 11 Cases.
41. Retention
of Jurisdiction. The provisions governing the retention of jurisdiction set forth in Article XI of the Plan shall be, and hereby
are, approved in their entirety. Under sections 105(c) and 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code and notwithstanding the entry of this Order
and the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Court shall, on and after the Effective Date, retain jurisdiction over the Chapter 11
Cases and all matters related to the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors, and the Plan as legally permissible including, without
limitation, over the matters set forth in Article XI of the Plan.
42. Payment
of Statutory Fees. All fees due and payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1930 will be paid as reflected in the Plan by the Debtors
or Reorganized Debtors, and any other Disbursing Agent, as applicable, until the Court enters a final decree closing the Chapter 11 Cases.
43. Effectiveness
of All Actions. Except as set forth in the Plan, all actions authorized to be taken pursuant to the Plan shall be effective on, before,
or after the Effective Date pursuant to this Order, without further application to, or order of this Court, or further action by the respective
officers, directors, managers, members, trustees, or stockholders of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors and with the effect that such
actions had been taken by unanimous action of such officers, directors, managers, members, or stockholders. This Order shall constitute
all approvals and consents required, if any, by the laws, rules, and regulations, of all states and any other governmental authority with
respect to the implementation or consummation of the Plan and any documents, instruments, agreements, any amendments or modifications
thereto, and any other acts and transactions referred to in or contemplated by the Plan, the Plan Supplement, the Disclosure Statement,
and any documents, instruments, securities, agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereto.
44. Resolution
of IDParts Objection. Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, the Debtors shall (i) file name change amendments with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to change the corporate names of each of PARTS iD, Inc. and PARTS iD, LLC, and (ii)
cease use of the website https://www.partsidinc.com. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Order, the right of
IDParts, LLC (“IDParts”) to seek any non-monetary equitable remedy, assert any right to setoff or assert any
defense in the litigation captioned PARTS iD, LLC v. IDParts, LLC, Case No. 20-cv-11253-ADB (D. Mass.) (the “Trademark
Litigation”) is preserved and not subject to discharge under section 1141(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or any discharge
injunction under section 524(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, provided that the assertion of any setoff or defense shall not result in any
monetary liability to the Reorganized Debtors. The non-monetary equitable remedies subject to this provision include the remedies
sought in paragraphs 6-8 of IDParts’ prayer for relief in its counterclaim asserted in the Trademark Litigation (Trademark
Litigation D.I. 31 at 60).
45. Certain
Government Matters. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan, solely with respect to the United States, nothing discharges or
releases the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any non-debtor from any right, claim, liability, defense or cause of action of the
United States or impairs the ability of the United States to pursue any right, claim, liability, defense, or cause of action against
any Debtor, Reorganized Debtor or non-debtor. Contracts, purchase orders, agreements, leases, covenants, guaranties,
indemnifications, operating rights agreements or other interests of or with the United States shall be, subject to any applicable
legal or equitable rights, claims, defenses or causes of action of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors under applicable non-
bankruptcy law (including, without limitation, any rights of setoff or recoupment), paid, treated, determined and administered in
the ordinary course of business as if the Chapter 11 Cases were never filed, and the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors shall comply
with all applicable non- bankruptcy law. All rights, claims, liabilities, defenses or causes of action of or to the United States
shall survive the Chapter 11 Cases as if they had not been commenced and be determined in the ordinary course of business, including
in the manner and by the administrative or judicial tribunals in which such rights, claims, liabilities, defenses or causes of
action would have been resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced; provided, that nothing in the Plan
Documents shall impair, prejudice, waive or otherwise affect any legal or equitable rights, claims, defenses or causes of action of
the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors under non-bankruptcy law with respect to any such rights, claims, liabilities, defenses or
causes of action of the United States, including, without limitation, any rights of setoff or recoupment. Without limiting the
foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing shall: (i) require the United States to file any proofs of claim or administrative
expense claims in the Chapter 11 Cases for any right, claim, liability, defense, or cause of action; (ii) affect or impair the
exercise of the United States’ police and regulatory powers against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or any non-debtor;
(iii) be interpreted to set cure amounts or to require the United States to novate or otherwise consent to the transfer of any
federal contracts, purchase orders, agreements, leases, covenants, guaranties, indemnifications, operating rights agreements or
other interests; (iv) affect or impair the United States’ rights and defenses of setoff and recoupment, or ability to assert
setoff or recoupment against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors and such rights and defenses are expressly preserved; (v)
constitute an approval or consent by the United States without compliance with all applicable legal requirements and approvals under
non-bankruptcy law; or (vi) relieve any party from compliance with all licenses and permits issued by governmental units in
accordance with non-bankruptcy law.
46. Effect
of Conflict Between Plan and This Order. Except as set forth in the Plan, to the extent that any provision of the Disclosure Statement,
the Plan Supplement, or any other order referenced in the Plan (or any exhibits, schedules, appendices, supplements, or amendments to
any of the foregoing), conflicts with or is in any way inconsistent with any provision of the Plan, the Plan Supplement shall govern and
control; provided, however, with respect to any conflict or inconsistency between the Plan or Plan Supplement and this Order,
this Order shall govern.
47. Nonseverability
of Plan Provisions and this Order. Each term and provision of the Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with
the foregoing, is: (a) valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms; (b) integral to the Plan and may not be deleted or modified without
the consent of the Debtors (with the consent of the Plan Sponsor); and (c) nonseverable and mutually dependent. Each provision of this
Order is nonseverable and mutually dependent on each other term of this Order and the Plan.
48. Failure
of Consummation. If the Effective Date does not occur, then: (a) the Plan and this Order will be null and void in all respects; (b)
any settlement or compromise embodied in the Plan or this Order, assumption, assumption and assignment, and rejection, as applicable,
of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases effected by the Plan, and any document or agreement executed pursuant to the Plan will be null
and void in all respects; and (c) nothing contained in the Plan or this Order shall (i) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims,
Interests, or Causes of Action, (ii) prejudice in any manner the rights of any Debtor or any other Entity, or (iii) constitute an admission,
acknowledgement, offer, or undertaking of any sort by any Debtor or any other Entity, and all parties shall revert to the status quo as
if this Order had not been entered.
49. Terms
of Injunctions or Stays. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or in this Order, all injunctions or stays in effect in these Chapter
11 Cases pursuant to sections 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any order of the Court, and extant on the Confirmation Date (excluding
any injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or this Order) shall remain in full force and effect until the Effective Date. All injunctions
or stays contained in the Plan or this Order (including the Injunction) shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their
terms.
50. Modifications,
Revocation, or Withdrawal of the Plan. The provisions governing the modification, revocation, and withdrawal of the Plan set
forth in Article X of the Plan are approved in their entirety. Subject to section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, are authorized to make any and all modifications to the Plan in accordance with Article X of the
Plan and any and all documents that are necessary to effectuate the Plan that do not materially modify the terms of such documents
without need for further order or authorization of the Court.
51. Modifications
to Plan Supplement. Subject to section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors, with the consent of the Plan Sponsor, shall have
the right to supplement and make any and all modifications to any documents contained in the Plan Supplement that do not materially modify
the terms of such documents and are consistent with the Plan on or before the Effective Date.
52. Notice
of Confirmation and Effective Date. In accordance with Bankruptcy Rules 2002 and 3020(c), within three (3) business days of the
Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall cause the notice of Confirmation and the Effective Date (the “Confirmation
Notice”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, to be served, by e-mail, first class mail,
postage prepaid, or by overnight courier service, to all parties served with the Combined Notice; provided that no notice or
service of any kind shall be required to be mailed or made upon any Entity to whom the Debtors mailed a Combined Notice, but
received such notice returned marked “undeliverable as addressed,” “moved, left no forwarding address,” or
“forwarding order expired,” or similar reason, unless the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, have been
informed in writing by such Entity, or are otherwise aware, of that Entity’s new address. Such service of the Confirmation
Notice in the time and manner set forth in this paragraph shall be good, adequate, and sufficient notice under the particular
circumstances and in accordance with the requirements of Bankruptcy Rules 2002 and 3020(c) and no further notice is necessary.
53. The
Confirmation Notice shall constitute sufficient notice of the entry of this Order to such filing and recording officers and shall be a
recordable instrument notwithstanding any contrary provision of applicable non-bankruptcy law.
54. References
to and Omissions of Plan Provisions. References to articles, sections, and provisions of the Plan are inserted for convenience of
reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the interpretation of the Plan. The failure to specifically include or
to refer to any particular article, section, or provision of the Plan in this Order shall not diminish or impair the effectiveness of
such article, section, or provision, it being the intent of the Court that the Plan be confirmed in its entirety, except as expressly
modified herein, and incorporated herein by this reference.
55. Waiver
of Schedules and Statements. Any requirement under section 521 of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules 1007 and 2015.3, obligating
the Debtors to file or submit any list, report, schedule, or statement with the Court or the U.S. Trustee, is permanently waived, effective
as of the Effective Date.
56. Immediate
Binding Effect. Subject to Article IX.A of the Plan and notwithstanding Bankruptcy Rules 3020(e), 6004(h), or 7062 or otherwise,
upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, the terms of the Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the documents contained in
the Plan Supplement) shall be immediately effective and enforceable and deemed binding upon the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors,
any and all Holders of Claims against or Interests in the Debtors (irrespective of whether such Holders have, or are deemed to have
accepted the Plan), all Entities that are parties to or are subject to the settlements, compromises, releases, discharges, and
injunctions described in the Plan, each Entity acquiring property under the Plan, any and all non-Debtor parties to Executory
Contracts and Unexpired Leases with the Debtors, any other contract counterparties, any borrowers, leaseholders, governmental units,
and any trustees, examiners, administrators, responsible officers, estate representatives, or similar entities for the Debtors, if
any, subsequently appointed in any of the Chapter 11 Cases or upon a conversion to chapter 7 under the Bankruptcy Code in any of the
Chapter 11 Cases, and each of their respective affiliates, successors, and assigns. All Claims and Interests shall be treated as
permitted under section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code pursuant to the Plan regardless of whether any Holder of a Claim or Interest has
voted on the Plan.
57. Waiver
of Stay. This Order (a) shall be immediately effective and enforceable upon the entry hereof, and (b) for good cause shown, based
on the record of the Combined Hearing, shall not be subject to any stay otherwise applicable under the Bankruptcy Rules, including Bankruptcy
Rule 3020(e). The period within which an appeal must be filed commences upon the entry of this Order.

ARTICLE III.
CLASSIFICATION
AND TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS
A. | Classification of Claims and Interests |
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 have accepted the Plan, Confirmation of the Plan, and the resultant treatment of Claims and 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.
Except for the
Claims addressed in Article II hereof, all Claims and Interests are classified in the Classes set forth below in accordance with sections
1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. A Claim or an Interest, or any portion thereof, is classified in a particular Class only to
the extent that any portion of such Claim or Interest fits within the description of that Class and is classified in other Classes to
the extent that any portion of the Claim or Interest fits within the description of such other Classes. A Claim or an Interest also is
classified in a particular Class for the purpose of receiving distributions under the Plan only to the extent that such Claim or Interest
is an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest in that Class and has not been paid, released, or otherwise satisfied prior to the Effective Date.
The categories
of Claims and Interests listed below classify Claims and 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 Interest to be classified in
a particular Class only to the extent that the Claim or 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 Interest qualifies within the description of such different Class.
A Claim or an Interest is in a particular Class only to the extent that any such Claim or Interest is Allowed in that Class and has not
been paid or otherwise settled prior to the Effective Date.

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) 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 (iii) 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. Except as otherwise set forth in the Plan, on the Effective Date 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 deemed substantive consolidation shall not (other than for purposes relating to the Plan) affect the legal and
corporate structure of the Reorganized Debtors.
In the event
the Bankruptcy Court does not approve the deemed substantive consolidation of the Estates for the purposes set forth herein, the Plan
shall be treated as a separate plan of reorganization for each Debtor not deemed substantively consolidated.
The Plan shall
serve as, and shall be deemed to be, a motion for entry of an order deemed 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.
C. | Restructuring Transactions |
On or before
the Effective Date, the applicable Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (and their respective officers, directors, members, or managers
(as applicable)) shall enter into and shall take any actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the Plan, which may include:
(1) the execution, delivery, filing, registration or recordation of appropriate agreements or other documents of merger, amalgamation,
consolidation, restructuring, conversion, disposition, transfer, arrangement, continuance, dissolution, sale, purchase, or liquidation
containing terms that are consistent with the terms of the Plan and that satisfy the applicable requirements of applicable law and any
other terms to which the applicable Entities may agree, including the documents constituting the Plan Supplement; (2) the execution, delivery,
filing, registration or recordation of appropriate instruments of transfer, assignment, assumption, or delegation of any asset, property,
right, liability, debt, or obligation on terms consistent with the terms of the Plan and having other terms for which the applicable Entities
may agree; (3) the execution, delivery, filing, registration or recordation of appropriate certificates or articles of incorporation,
formation, reincorporation, merger, consolidation, conversion, amalgamation, arrangement, continuance, or dissolution pursuant to applicable
law; (4) the execution, delivery, filing, registration or recordation of the New Governance Documents; (5) the issuance, distribution,
reservation, or dilution, as applicable, of the New Preferred Stock and New Common Stock, as set forth herein; and (6) all other actions
that the applicable Entities determine to be necessary, including making filings or recordings that may be required by applicable law
in connection with the Plan. All Holders of Claims and Interests receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan and all other necessary
parties in interest, including any and all agents thereof, shall prepare, execute, and deliver any agreements or documents, and take any
other actions as the Debtors and the Plan Sponsor may jointly determine are necessary or advisable, including by voting and/or exercising
any powers or rights available to such Holder, including at any board, or creditors’,
or shareholders’ meeting, to effectuate the provisions and intent of the Plan The Confirmation Order shall, and shall be deemed
to, pursuant to sections 363 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, authorize, among other things, all actions as may be necessary or appropriate
to effect any transaction described in, contemplated by, or necessary to effectuate the Plan, including the Restructuring Transactions.
D. | Sources of Consideration for Plan Distributions |

of all Direct Investment Commitment Conditions (unless waived by the Plan Sponsor in its sole discretion), the Debtors and Reorganized
Debtors, as applicable, shall fund Plan Distributions, as applicable, with (1) the New Preferred Stock, (2) the New Common Stock, and
(3) a portion of the proceeds of the Direct Investment Preferred Equity Raise in an amount equal to the Plan Distribution Amount. Each
distribution and issuance referred to in Article VI of the Plan shall be governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan applicable
to such distribution or issuance and by the terms and conditions of the instruments or other documents evidencing or relating to such
distribution or issuance, which terms and conditions shall bind each Entity receiving such distribution or issuance. The issuance, distribution,
or authorization, as applicable, of certain securities in connection with the Plan, including the New Common Stock and the New Preferred
Stock will be exempt from SEC registration, as described more fully in Article IV. G below.

Each distribution and issuance of New Common Stock and New Preferred Equity shall be governed by the terms and conditions set forth in

distribution or issuance, which terms and conditions shall bind each Entity receiving such distribution or issuance without the need for
execution by any party thereto other than the applicable Reorganized Debtor(s). Any Entity’s acceptance of New Common Stock or New
Preferred Stock shall be deemed as its agreement to the New Governance Documents, as the same may be amended or modified from time to
time following the Effective Date in accordance with their respective terms. The New Common Stock and New Preferred Equity will not be registered under the Securities
Act or listed on any exchange as of the Effective Date and will not meet the eligibility requirements of the Depository Trust Company.
F. | The Direct Investment Preferred Equity Raise and the Direct Investment Commitments |
On the Effective
Date, the Debtors shall consummate the Direct Investment Preferred Equity Raise through which the Plan Sponsor shall purchase $26,000,000
of New Preferred Stock on the terms and conditions set forth in the Direct Investment Documents, this Plan, and the Confirmation Order.

continue to exist after the Effective Date as a separate corporate entity or limited liability company, as the case may be, with all the
powers of a corporation or limited liability company, as the case may be, pursuant to the applicable law in the jurisdiction in which

documents) in effect prior to the Effective Date, except to the extent such certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation
documents) are amended under the Plan or otherwise, and to the extent such documents are amended in accordance therewith, such documents
are deemed to be amended pursuant to the Plan and require no further action or approval (other than any requisite filings required under
applicable state or federal law). After the Effective Date, the respective certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation
documents) of the Reorganized Debtors may be amended or modified on the terms therein without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy
Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules. After the Effective Date, one or more of the Reorganized

by any of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan shall vest in each respective Reorganized Debtor, 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

K. | Cancellation of Existing Securities and Agreements |
On the Effective
Date, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Plan, all notes, instruments, certificates, and other documents evidencing Claims
or Interests shall be canceled, and the obligations of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors thereunder or in any way related thereto
shall be discharged and deemed satisfied in full.

Date, all matters provided for in the Plan involving the structure of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, and any corporate, partnership,
limited liability company, or other governance action required by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, in connection

members, directors, trustees or officers of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable. On or (as applicable) prior to the
Effective Date, the appropriate officers of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall be authorized and (as applicable)

laws of such jurisdiction. The New Governance Documents will, among other things, (a) authorize the issuance of the New Preferred Stock

the payment of any such tax, recordation fee, or governmental assessment. All filing or recording officers (or any other Person with authority
over any of the foregoing), wherever located and by whomever appointed, shall comply with the requirements of section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code, shall forego the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment, and shall accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing
instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment if prohibited by section 1146(a).

Notwithstanding
anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Debtors’ D&O Liability

a fully diluted basis taking into account reserved MIP Awards and the New Common Stock issued pursuant to this Plan (and not, for the
avoidance of doubt, including the New Preferred Stock). The participants in the MIP, the allocations and form of the MIP Awards (including
as to whether in the form of options, phantom awards and/or other equity-based compensation) to such participants (including the amount
of allocations and the timing of the Awards), and the terms and conditions
of such Awards (including vesting, exercise prices, threshold amounts, base values, hurdles, forfeiture, repurchase rights and transferability)
shall be determined by the New Board.
T. | Preservation of Causes of ActionIn accordance with section 1123(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code, but subject to Article VIII hereof, each Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall retain and may enforce all rights to
commence and pursue, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action of the Debtors (other than Avoidance Actions with respect to Released
Parties and any Holder of a General Unsecured Claim), whether arising before or after the Petition Date, including any actions specifically
enumerated in the Schedule of Retained Causes of Action, and the Reorganized Debtors’ rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such
Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date, other than Avoidance Actions with respect to
Released Parties and any Holder of a General Unsecured Claim and Causes of Action settled or resolved by the Debtors prior to the Effective
Date with the consent of the Plan Sponsor or released by the Debtors pursuant to the releases and exculpations contained in the Plan,
including in Article VIII hereof, which shall be deemed released and waived by the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors as of the Effective
Date. |
The Reorganized
Debtors may pursue such retained Causes of Action, as appropriate, in accordance with the best interests of the Reorganized Debtors. No
Entity (other than the Released Parties) may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure
Statement to any Cause of Action against it as any indication that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will not pursue
any and all available Causes of Action of the Debtors against it, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan. The Debtors and
the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity (other than Avoidance
Actions with respect to Released Parties or any Holder of a General Unsecured Claim), except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan,
including Article VIII hereof. The Reorganized Debtors may settle any such Cause of Action without any further notice to or action,
order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. If there is any dispute between the Reorganized Debtors and the Entity against whom the Reorganized
Debtors are asserting the Cause of Action regarding the inclusion of any Cause of Action on the Schedule of Retained Causes of Action
that remains unresolved for thirty days, such objection shall be resolved by the Bankruptcy Court. Unless any Causes of Action of the
Debtors against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, assigned, transferred or settled in the
Plan or a Final Order, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all Causes of Action, for later adjudication, 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 such Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or Consummation.
The
Reorganized Debtors reserve and shall retain such Causes of Action of the Debtors notwithstanding the rejection or repudiation (to
the extent applicable) of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease during the Chapter 11 Cases or pursuant to the Plan. In
accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Causes of Action that a Debtor may hold against any Entity shall vest
in the Reorganized Debtors, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, including Article VIII hereof. The applicable
Reorganized Debtors, through their authorized agents or representatives, shall retain
and may exclusively enforce any and all such Causes of Action. The Reorganized Debtors shall have the exclusive right, authority, and
discretion to determine and to initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, withdraw, or litigate to judgment
any such Causes of Action 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.
U. | Release of Avoidance Actions |
On the Effective
Date, the Debtors, on behalf of themselves and their Estates, shall waive and release any and all Avoidance Actions solely with respect
to Released Parties and any Holder of a General Unsecured Claim, and the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and any of their successors
or assigns, and any Entity acting on behalf of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors shall be deemed to have waived the right to pursue
any and all Avoidance Actions solely with respect to Released Parties and any Holder of a General Unsecured Claim, except for such Avoidance
Actions brought as counterclaims or defenses to Claims asserted against the Debtors.
On the Effective
Date, the Debtors, on behalf of the themselves and their Estates, shall waive and release any and all demands, claims, actions, Causes
of Action, rights, liabilities, obligations, liens, suits, losses, damages, attorney fees, court costs, or any other form of claim whatsoever,
of whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, in law or equity, which the Debtors have, have had, may
have or may claim to have against the Vendors arising on or prior to the Effective Date.
ARTICLE V.
TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS
AND UNEXPIRED LEASES
A. | Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases |
Except as otherwise
provided in this Plan, on and as of the Effective Date, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease shall be deemed assumed (or assumed
and assigned to the respective Reorganized Debtor, as applicable), without the need for any further notice to or action, order, or approval
of the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code unless such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (i)
previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms; or (ii) is the subject of a motion to reject filed on or before the Effective
Date. The Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the above-described assumptions and assignments.
Except as otherwise
provided herein or agreed to by the Debtors (with the consent of the Plan Sponsor) and the applicable counterparty, each assumed Executory
Contract or Unexpired Lease shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements related thereto,
and all rights related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of
first refusal, and any other interests. 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.
Entry of the Confirmation
Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the assumptions, assumptions and assignments, and related Cure amounts
with respect thereto, or rejections (to the extent applicable) of the Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases as set forth in the Plan
or the Schedule of Proposed Cure Amounts or the Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Schedule (if any), pursuant to sections
365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, assumptions or rejections (to the extent applicable)
of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to the Plan are effective as of the Effective Date. Each Executory Contract or Unexpired
Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan or by Bankruptcy Court order but not assigned to a third party on or before the Effective Date shall
re-vest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable contracting Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as such terms
may have been modified by the provisions of the Plan or any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption.
Any motions to assume Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases pending on the Effective Date shall be subject to approval by a Final Order
on or after the Effective Date but may be withdrawn, settled, or otherwise prosecuted by the Reorganized Debtors.
Except as otherwise
provided herein or agreed to by the Debtors and the applicable counterparty, each assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall
include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements related thereto, and all rights related thereto,
if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests.
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.
To the maximum
extent permitted by law, to the extent any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed or assumed and assigned pursuant
to the Plan restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, the assumption or assumption
and assignment of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (including any “change of control” provision), then such provision
shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan shall not entitle the non-Debtor party thereto to terminate
such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to exercise any other default-related rights with respect thereto.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve the right, with the consent of the
Plan Sponsor, to alter, amend, modify, or supplement the Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Schedule (if any) or Schedule
of Proposed Cure Amounts at any time up to thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable,
shall file with the Bankruptcy Court and serve on the applicable counterparty notice regarding any change to the Rejected Executory Contracts
and Unexpired Leases Schedule (if any) or the Schedule of Proposed Cure Amounts, as applicable, and the counterparty shall have fourteen
days from service of such notice to file an objection with the Bankruptcy Court.
To the extent
any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules requires the Debtors to assume or reject an Executory Contract or Unexpired
Lease, such requirement shall be satisfied if the Debtors make an election to assume or reject such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease
prior to the deadline set forth by the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules, as applicable, regardless of whether or not the Bankruptcy
Court has actually ruled on such proposed assumption or rejection prior to such deadline.
B. | Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases |
All Allowed Claims
arising from the rejection of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases shall be classified as General Unsecured Claims
and shall be treated in accordance thereto. In light of the treatment of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims under the Plan, there is
no requirement to file a Proof of Claim (or move the Bankruptcy Court for allowance) to have a Claim Allowed for the purposes of the Plan.
Any Proof of Claim arising from the rejection of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that is filed shall be classified
as a General Unsecured Claim and based on the treatment provided to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims, shall receive no distribution
on account of such Claim and shall be deemed to have voted to reject this Plan.
C. | Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases |
Any monetary
defaults under each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed (or assumed and assigned to the respective Reorganized Debtor,
as applicable) pursuant to the Plan shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the default
amount in Cash upon assumption thereof. To the extent any monetary default exists under a particular Executory Contract of Unexpired Lease,
at least fourteen (14) days before the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors shall have served a notice on parties to Executory Contracts
and Unexpired Leases to be assumed reflecting the Debtors’ intention to assume or assume and assign the Executory Contract or Unexpired
Lease in connection with this Plan and setting forth the proposed cure amount (if any).
In
the event of a dispute regarding (i) the amount of any payments to cure such a default, (ii) the ability of the Reorganized Debtors
or any 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 (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption,
the cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order or orders
resolving the dispute and approving the assumption. The cure notices shall include procedures for objecting to proposed assumptions
of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases and any amounts of Cure Claims to be paid in connection therewith and resolution of
disputes by the Bankruptcy Court. Any objection by a counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to a proposed
assumption or related cure amount must be filed, served and actually received by counsel to the Debtors at least four (4) Business
Days before the Confirmation Hearing. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to
the proposed assumption or cure amount will be deemed to have assented to such assumption or cure amount; provided, however,
that nothing herein shall prevent the Reorganized Debtors from paying any Cure costs despite the failure of the relevant
counterparty to file such request for payment of such Cure costs. The Reorganized Debtors also may settle any Cure costs without any
further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
The Debtors or
the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall pay the Cure amounts, if any, on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable
thereafter, in the ordinary course of business, or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases
may agree; provided that if a dispute regarding assumption or Cure is unresolved as of the Effective Date, then payment of the
applicable Cure amount shall occur as soon as reasonably practicable after such dispute is resolved. Any Cure shall be deemed fully satisfied,
released, and discharged upon payment of the Cure.
Assumption of
any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise 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 before the
effective date of the assumption.
Any Proof
of Claim Filed with respect to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed shall be deemed disallowed and expunged, without
further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
D. | Preexisting Obligations to the Debtors Under Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases |
To the extent
applicable, rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall not constitute a termination
of preexisting obligations owed to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, under such Executory Contracts or Unexpired
Leases. In particular, notwithstanding any non-bankruptcy law to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve and do not waive
any right to receive, or any continuing obligation of a counterparty to provide, warranties or continued maintenance obligations with
respect to goods previously purchased by the Debtors pursuant to rejected Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases (if any).
Each of the Debtors’
insurance policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto, are treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan.
Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, on the Effective Date, (1) the Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all insurance policies and
any agreements, documents, and instruments relating to coverage of all insured Claims and (2) such insurance policies and any agreements,
documents, or instruments relating thereto shall revest in the Reorganized Debtors.
Nothing contained
in the Plan or the Plan Supplement shall constitute an admission by the Debtors or any other party that any 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 or rejection (to the extent applicable), the Debtors
or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have thirty (30) days following entry of a Final
Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.
G. | 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 pursuant to section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.
H. | Employee Compensation and Benefits. |
| 1. | Compensation and Benefits Programs |
Subject
to the provisions of the Plan, all Compensation and Benefits Programs shall be treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan
(including all employment agreements and employment letters, severance plans and amendments thereto, severance letters and severance
agreements, retention plans and letters, annual incentive plans (whether based on PARTS iD’s or individual employee
performance) and other agreements entered into with current and former officers and other employees and effective as of the
Confirmation Date) and deemed assumed on the Effective Date pursuant to the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy
Code, unless (i) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms; or (ii) is the subject of a motion to reject filed on
or before the Effective Date; provided, however, that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, with the
consent of the Plan Sponsor, may alter, amend, modify, or supplement the Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Schedule
(if any) or Schedule of Proposed Cure Amounts relating to the Compensation and Benefits Programs at any time up to thirty (30) days
after the Effective Date in accordance with Section V.A and V.F of this Plan. The assumption of any Compensation and Benefits
Programs shall not be deemed approval of any Administrative Claim or Cure amount for any payments that are subject to section 503(c)
of the Bankruptcy Code.
A counterparty
to a Compensation and Benefits Program assumed or assumed and assigned pursuant to the Plan shall have the same rights under such Compensation
and Benefits Program as such counterparty had thereunder immediately prior to such assumption (unless otherwise agreed by such counterparty
and the applicable Reorganized Debtor(s)); provided, however, that any assumption or assumption and assignment of Compensation
and Benefits Programs pursuant to the Plan or any of the Restructuring Transactions shall not trigger or be deemed to trigger any change
of control, immediate vesting, termination, or similar provisions therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to section 1129(a)(13)
of the Bankruptcy Code, from and after the Effective Date, all retiree benefits (as such term is defined in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy
Code), if any, shall continue to be paid in accordance with applicable law.
| 2. | 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:
(a) all applicable workers’ compensation laws in states in which the Reorganized Debtors operate; and (b) the Debtors’ written
contracts, agreements, agreements of indemnity, self-insured workers’ compensation bonds, policies, programs, and plans for workers’
compensation and workers’ compensation insurance. 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 non-bankruptcy law.
I. | Contracts and Leases Entered into After the Petition Date |
Contracts and
leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor, including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by such Debtor,
will be performed by the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor in the ordinary course of its business. Accordingly, such contracts and
leases (including any assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases) will survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation
Order.
ARTICLE VI.
PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS
A. | Distributions on Account of Claims Allowed as of the Effective Date |
Except as otherwise
provided herein, in a Final Order, or as otherwise agreed to by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, and the Holder
of the applicable Allowed Claim on the first Distribution Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall make initial distributions under the Plan
on account of Claims Allowed on or before the Effective Date, subject to the Reorganized Debtors’ right to object to Claims; provided
that (1) Allowed Administrative Claims with respect to liabilities incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of business during the
Chapter 11 Cases or assumed by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date shall be paid or performed in the ordinary course of business in
accordance with the terms and conditions of any controlling agreements, course of dealing, course of business, or industry practice, and
(2) Allowed Priority Tax Claims shall be paid in accordance with Article II.D of the Plan. To the extent any Allowed Priority Tax Claim
is not due and owing on the Effective Date, such Claim shall be paid in full in Cash in accordance with the terms of any agreement between
the Debtors and the Holder of such Claim or as may be due and payable under applicable non-bankruptcy law or in the ordinary course of
business.
All distributions
under the Plan shall be made by the Disbursing Agent. The Disbursing Agent shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security
for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. Additionally, in the event that the Disbursing Agent
is so otherwise ordered, all costs and expenses of procuring any such bond or surety shall be borne by the Reorganized Debtors.
C. | Rights and Powers of Disbursing Agent |
| 1. | Powers of the Disbursing Agent |
The
Disbursing Agent shall be empowered to: (a) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments, and other documents
necessary to perform its duties under the Plan; (b) make all distributions contemplated hereby; (c) employ professionals to
represent it with respect to its responsibilities; and (d) exercise such other powers as may be vested in the Disbursing Agent by
order of the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to the Plan or as deemed by the Disbursing Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the
provisions hereof.
| 2. | Expenses Incurred on or After the Effective Date |
Except as otherwise
ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the amount of any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent on or after the Effective
Date (including taxes), and any reasonable compensation and expense reimbursement claims (including reasonable attorney fees and expenses),
made by the Disbursing Agent shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors.
D. | Delivery of Distributions and Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions |
| 1. | Record Date for Distribution |
On the Distribution
Record Date, the Claims Register shall be closed and any party responsible for making distributions shall instead be authorized and entitled
to recognize only those record Holders listed on the Claims Register as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. If a
Claim is transferred twenty or fewer days before the Distribution Record Date, the Disbursing Agent shall make distributions to the transferee
only to the extent practical and, in any event, only if the relevant transfer form contains an unconditional and explicit certification
and waiver of any objection to the transfer by the transferor.
| 2. | Delivery of Distributions in General |
Except as otherwise
provided herein, distributions payable to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be made by the Disbursing Agent to such Holder at the address
for each such Holder as indicated on the Debtors’ records as of the date of any such distribution; provided that the manner
of such distributions shall be determined at the discretion of the Reorganized Debtors.
No fractional
shares of New Preferred Stock or New Common Stock shall be distributed and no Cash shall be distributed in lieu of such fractional amounts.
When any distribution pursuant to the Plan on account of an Allowed Claim would otherwise result in the issuance of a number of shares
of New Common Stock that is not a whole number, the actual distribution of shares of New Common Stock shall be rounded as follows: (a)
fractions of one-half (1/2) or greater shall be rounded to the next higher whole number
and (b) fractions of less than one-half (1/2) shall be rounded to the next lower whole
number with no further payment therefor. The total number of authorized shares of New Common Stock to be distributed to Holders of Allowed
Claims hereunder shall be adjusted as necessary to account for the foregoing rounding.
| 4. | Undeliverable Distributions and Unclaimed Property |
In the event
that any distribution to any Holder of Allowed Claims is returned as undeliverable, no distribution to such Holder shall be made unless
and until the Disbursing Agent has determined the then-current address of such Holder, at which time such distribution shall be made to
such Holder without interest; provided that such distributions shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy
Code at the expiration of six months from the Effective Date. 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
federal, provincial or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws to the contrary) and, to the extent such unclaimed distribution
comprises New Common Stock, such New Common Stock shall be canceled. Upon such revesting, the Claim of the Holder or its successors with
respect to such property shall be canceled, discharged, and forever barred notwithstanding any applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned,
or unclaimed property laws, or any provisions in any document governing the distribution that is an Unclaimed Distribution, to the contrary.
The Disbursing Agent shall adjust the number of shares of New Common Stock outstanding as of the date of such cancelation to ensure that
the distributions of New Common Stock contemplated under the Plan are given full force and effect.
| 5. | Surrender of Canceled Instruments or Securities |
On the Effective
Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, each Holder of a certificate or instrument evidencing a Claim or an Interest that
has been canceled in accordance with Article IV.J hereof shall be deemed to have surrendered such certificate or instrument to the Disbursing
Agent. Such surrendered certificate or instrument shall be canceled solely with respect to the Debtors, and such cancelation shall not
alter the obligations or rights of any non-Debtor third parties in respect of 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 Interest, which shall continue
in effect for purposes of allowing Holders to receive distributions under the Plan, charging liens, priority of payment, and indemnification
rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this paragraph shall not apply to certificates or instruments evidencing Claims
that are Unimpaired under the Plan.
Except as otherwise
provided in the Plan or any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated by the Plan or the Plan Supplement, all distributions
of the New Preferred Stock and New Common Stock to the Holders of the applicable Allowed Claims under the Plan shall be made by the Disbursing
Agent on behalf of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable.
All distributions
of Cash to the Holders of the applicable Allowed Claims under the Plan shall be made by the Disbursing Agent on behalf of the applicable
Debtor or Reorganized Debtor.
At the option
of the Disbursing Agent, any Cash payment to be made hereunder may be made by check or wire transfer or as otherwise required or provided
in applicable agreements.
F. | Indefeasible Distributions |
Any and all distributions
made under the Plan shall be indefeasible and not subject to clawback or any turnover provisions.
Pursuant
to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, the offering, issuance, and distribution of the New Preferred Stock and the New Common
Stock, but excluding the MIP Awards (if applicable), in each case, after the Petition Date, shall be exempt from, among other
things, the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act or any similar federal, state, or local law in reliance on
section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code or, only to the extent such exemption under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code is not
available, any other available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy
Code, such New Common Stock (other than the MIP Awards, if applicable) will be freely tradable in the U.S. without registration
under the Securities Act by the recipients thereof, subject to the provisions of (1) 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 state or
foreign securities laws, if any, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, if any, applicable at the
time of any future transfer of such Securities or instruments, (2) any other applicable regulatory approvals, and (3) any
restrictions in the Reorganized Debtors’ New Governance Documents. The New Preferred Stock and New Common Stock, in each case,
will be offered, issued and distributed in reliance upon section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Any Securities
distributed pursuant to section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act will be considered “restricted securities” as defined by
Rule 144 of the Securities Act and may not be resold under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws absent an effective
registration statement, or pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws and subject to any restrictions in the New Governance Documents.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Plan, no Entity shall be entitled to require a legal opinion regarding the validity of any transaction
contemplated by the Plan, including, for the avoidance of doubt, whether the New Preferred Stock, the New Common Stock and any MIP Awards
(if applicable) are exempt from the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act.
Recipients of
the New Preferred Stock, the New Common Stock and any MIP Awards are advised to consult with their own legal advisors as to the availability
of any exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable Blue Sky Laws.
H. | Compliance with Tax Requirements |
In connection
with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, Disbursing Agent, and any applicable withholding agent shall
comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions made pursuant
to the Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary,
such parties 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
(subject to reasonable consultation with the Plan Sponsor). The Debtors and Reorganized Debtors reserve the right, with the consent of
the Plan Sponsor, to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child
support, and similar spousal awards, Liens, and encumbrances.
Any Holder of
an Impaired Claim entitled to receive any property as an issuance or distribution under the Plan shall, upon request by the Disbursing
Agent, provide an appropriate Form W-9 or (if the payee is a foreign Person) Form W-8. If such request is made and such Holder of an Impaired
Claim 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 Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and any Claim in respect of such distribution shall be discharged and forever
barred from assertion against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors and their respective property.
Distributions
in respect of Allowed Claims shall be allocated first to the principal amount of such Claims (as determined for federal income tax purposes)
and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claims, to any portion of such Claims for accrued but unpaid
interest.
J. | No Postpetition or Default Interest on Claims |
Unless otherwise
specifically provided for in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, or required by applicable bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy law, 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 prepetition Claims and (2) no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to (a) interest accruing on or after the
Petition Date on such Claim or (b) interest at the contract default rate, as applicable. Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing,
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.
K. | Foreign Currency Exchange Rate |
Except as otherwise
provided in a Bankruptcy Court order, as of the Effective Date, any Claim asserted in currency other than U.S. dollars shall be automatically
deemed converted to the equivalent U.S. dollar value using the exchange rate for the applicable currency as published in The Wall Street
Journal, National Edition, on the Effective Date.
Except as expressly
provided in this Plan, each Reorganized Debtor may, pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code, set off and/or recoup against any
Plan Distributions to be made on account of any Allowed Claim, any and all Claims, rights, and Causes of Action that such Reorganized
Debtor may hold against the Holder of such Allowed Claim to the extent such setoff or recoupment is either (1) agreed in amount among
the relevant Reorganized Debtor(s) and the Holder of the Allowed Claim or (2) otherwise adjudicated by the Bankruptcy Court or another
court of competent jurisdiction; provided that neither the failure to effectuate a setoff or recoupment nor the allowance of any
Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by a Reorganized Debtor or its successor of any and all claims, rights, and Causes
of Action that such Reorganized Debtor or its successor may possess against the applicable Holder. In no event shall any Holder of a Claim
be entitled to recoup such Claim against any claim, right, or Cause of Action of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable,
unless such Holder actually has performed such recoupment and provided notice thereof in writing to the Debtors in accordance with Article
XII.G hereof on or before the Effective Date, notwithstanding any indication in any Proof of Claim or otherwise that such Holder asserts,
has, or intends to preserve any right of recoupment.
M. | Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties |
| 1. | Claims Paid by Third Parties |
The Debtors or
the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall upon written notice to a Holder of a Claim, reduce in full such Claim, and such Claim shall
be disallowed without a Claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy
Court, to the extent that the Holder of such Claim receives payment in full on account of such Claim from a party that is not a Debtor
or a Reorganized Debtor. Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, to the extent a Holder of a Claim receives a distribution on
account of such Claim and receives payment from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor on account of such Claim, such Holder
shall, within fourteen days of receipt thereof, repay or return the distribution to the applicable Reorganized Debtor, to the extent the
Holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount of such Claim as of
the date of any such distribution under the Plan. The failure of such Holder to timely repay or return such distribution shall result
in the Holder owing the applicable Reorganized Debtor annualized interest at the Federal Judgment Rate on such amount owed for each Business
Day after the fourteen-day grace period specified above until the amount is repaid.
| 2. | Claims Payable by Third Parties |
No distributions
under the Plan shall be made on account of an Allowed Claim that is payable pursuant to one of the Debtors’ insurance policies until
the Holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to such insurance policy. To the extent that one or more of the
Insurers satisfies in full or in part a Claim (if and to the extent adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction), then immediately
upon such Insurers’ payment, the applicable portion of such Claim may be expunged without a Claims objection having to be Filed
and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
| 3. | 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. | Disputed Claims Process |
Notwithstanding
section 502(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and in light of the treatment of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims under the Plan, there is
no requirement to file a Proof of Claim (or move the Bankruptcy Court for allowance) to have a Claim Allowed for the purposes of the Plan.
On and after the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in this Plan, all Allowed Claims shall be satisfied in the ordinary course
of business of the Reorganized Debtors as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced (except that, unless expressly waived pursuant
to the Plan, the Allowed amount of such Claims shall be subject to the limitations or maximum amounts permitted by the Bankruptcy Code,
including sections 502 and 503 of the Bankruptcy Code). All Proofs of Claim Filed in these Chapter 11 Cases shall be considered objected
to and Disputed without further action by the Debtors. Upon the Effective Date and in light of the treatment of all Allowed General Unsecured
Claims under the Plan, all Proofs of Claim filed against the Debtors, regardless of the time of filing, and including Proofs of Claim
filed after the Effective Date, shall be deemed withdrawn and expunged, other than as provided below.
The Debtors and
the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have the exclusive authority to (1) determine, without the need for notice to or action,
order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, that a claim subject to any Proof of Claim that is Filed is Allowed and (2) file, settle,
compromise, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any objections to Claims as permitted under this Plan. If the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors
dispute any Claim, such dispute shall be determined, resolved, or adjudicated, as the case may be, in the manner as if the Chapter 11
Cases had not been commenced and shall survive the Effective Date as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced; provided that
the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may elect to object to any Claim (other than Claims expressly Allowed by this Plan) and to have
the validity or amount of any Claim adjudicated by the Bankruptcy Court; provided, further, that Holders of Claims may elect
to resolve the validity or amount of any Claim in the Bankruptcy Court. If a Holder makes such an election, the Bankruptcy Court shall
apply the law that would have governed the dispute if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been filed. All Proofs of Claim Filed in the Chapter
11 Cases shall be considered objected to and Disputed without further action by the Debtors. Except as otherwise provided herein, all
Proofs of Claim Filed after the Effective Date shall be disallowed, have no force and effect, and all rights related to such Claim shall
be governed by the provisions of this Plan.
After the Effective
Date, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, each of the Reorganized Debtors shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses
such Debtor had with respect to any Claim or Interest immediately prior to the Effective Date. The Debtors may affirmatively determine
to deem Unimpaired Claims Allowed to the same extent such Claims would be allowed under applicable non-bankruptcy law.
C. | Claims Administration Responsibilities |
Except as otherwise
specifically provided in the Plan, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have the authority: (1) to File, withdraw,
or litigate to judgment, objections to Claims or Interests; (2) to settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without any further notice
to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court; and (3) to administer and adjust the Claims Register to reflect any such settlements
or compromises without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court. For the avoidance of doubt, except
as otherwise provided herein, 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 Interest, including the Causes
of Action retained pursuant to Article IV.S of the Plan. Notwithstanding subclause (1) of this paragraph, any party in interest that has
the right to object to Claims or Interests under the Bankruptcy Code shall retain that right.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors shall be entitled to dispute and/or otherwise object to any Administrative Claim, Other
Priority Claim or Other Secured Claim in accordance with applicable nonbankruptcy law. If the Debtors, or Reorganized Debtors dispute
any Administrative Claim, Other Priority Claim or Other Secured Claim, such dispute may be determined, resolved, or adjudicated, as the
case may be, in the manner as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced (except that, unless expressly waived pursuant to the Plan,
the Allowed amount of such Claims shall be subject to the limitations or maximum amounts permitted by the Bankruptcy Code, including sections
502 and 503 of the Bankruptcy Code). In any action or proceeding to determine the existence, validity, or amount of any Administrative
Claim, Other Priority Claim or Other Secured Claim, any and all claims or defenses that could have been asserted by the applicable Debtor(s)
or the Entity holding such Claim are preserved as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced, provided that, for the avoidance of
doubt, the Allowed amount of such Claims shall be subject to the limitations or maximum amounts permitted by the Bankruptcy Code, including
sections 502 and 503 of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent applicable.
D. | Estimation of Claims and 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 Interest that is contingent or unliquidated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy
Code for any reason, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim or Interest, and the Bankruptcy Court shall
retain jurisdiction to estimate any such Claim or Interest, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or Interest
or during the appeal relating to such objection. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim
or Interest, that estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim or 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 Interest.
E. | Adjustment to Claims or Interests without Objection |
Any duplicate
Claim or Interest or any Claim or Interest that has been paid, satisfied, amended, or superseded may be adjusted or expunged on the Claims
Register 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 Interest and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of
the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors shall provide any Holder of such a Claim or Interest with fourteen days’ notice prior to the Claim
or Interest being adjusted or expunged from the Claims Register as the result of a Claim or Interest being paid, satisfied, amended or
superseded.
F. | Disallowance of Claims or Interests |
Except as otherwise
expressly set forth herein, all Claims and Interests of any Entity from which property is sought by the Debtors under sections 542, 543,
550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors allege is a transferee of a transfer that is avoidable
under sections 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be disallowed if: (1) the Entity, on the
one hand, and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, on the other hand, agree or the Bankruptcy Court has determined by
Final Order that such Entity or transferee is liable to turn over any property or monies under any of the aforementioned sections of the
Bankruptcy Code; and (2) such Entity or transferee has failed to turn over such property by the date set forth in such agreement or Final
Order.
G. | No Distributions Pending Allowance |
Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan, if any portion of a Claim or Interest is a Disputed Claim or Interest, as applicable, no payment or distribution
provided hereunder shall be made on account of such Claim or Interest unless and until such Disputed Claim or Interest becomes an Allowed
Claim or Allowed Interest; provided that if only the Allowed amount of an otherwise valid Claim or Interest is Disputed, such Claim
or Interest shall be deemed Allowed in the amount not Disputed and payment or distribution shall be made on account of such undisputed
amount.
H. | Distributions After Allowance |
To the extent
that a Disputed Claim or Interest ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, distributions (if any) shall be made to the
Holder of such Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. On or as soon as reasonably practicable
after the next Distribution Date after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing any Disputed Claim or Interest
becomes a Final Order, the Disbursing Agent shall provide to the Holder of such Claim or 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 Interest. If the
Holder of a Claim incorporates more than one Claim in a Proof of Claim then: (i) such Claims will be considered one Claim for purposes
of this Plan; and (ii) no such Claim will be bifurcated into an Allowed portion and a Disputed portion.
ARTICLE VIII.
SETTLEMENT, RELEASE, INJUNCTION,
AND RELATED PROVISIONS
A. | Discharge of Claims and Termination of Interests |
Pursuant to section
1141(d) of the Bankruptcy Code to the fullest extent permitted thereunder, and except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or
the Confirmation Order, the distributions, rights and treatment that are provided in the Plan shall discharge, effective as of the Effective
Date, of all Claims, Interests and Causes of Action of any nature whatsoever, including any interest accrued on Claims or Interests from
and after the Petition Date, whether known or unknown, against, liabilities of, Liens on, obligations of, rights against and Interests
in, the Debtors or any of their assets or properties, regardless of whether any property shall have been distributed or retained pursuant
to the Plan on account of such Claims and Interests, including Causes of Action that arose before the Effective Date, any contingent or
non-contingent liability on account of representations or warranties issued on or before the Effective Date, and all debts of the kind
specified in sections 502(g), 502(h) or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, in each case whether or not: (i) a proof of claim or Interest based
upon such Claim, debt, right or Interest is filed or deemed filed pursuant to section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) a Claim or Interest
based upon such Claim, debt, right or Interest is Allowed pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code; or (3) the Holder of such a
Claim or Interest has accepted the Plan. The Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of the discharge of all Claims and Interests
subject to the Effective Date occurring, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan.
Except as otherwise
provided in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or in any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created or entered
into pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date and concurrently with the applicable distributions made pursuant to the Plan, all Liens,
pledges, or other security interests against any property of the Debtors and their Estates shall be fully released and discharged, and
all of the right, title, and interest of any holder of such Liens, pledges, or other security interests shall revert to the Reorganized
Debtors and their successors and assigns. Any Holder of a Secured Claim (and the applicable agents for such Holder) shall be authorized
and directed, at the sole cost and expense of the Reorganized Debtors, to release any collateral or other property of any Debtor (including
any cash collateral and possessory collateral) held by such Holder (and the applicable agents for such Holder), and to take such actions
as may be reasonably requested by the Reorganized Debtors to evidence the release of such Liens and/or security interests, including the
execution, delivery, and filing or recording of such releases. The presentation or filing of the Confirmation Order to or with any federal,
state, provincial, or local agency, records office, or department shall constitute good and sufficient evidence of, but shall not be required
to effect, the termination of such Liens.
To the extent
that any Holder of a Secured Claim that has been satisfied or discharged in full pursuant to the Plan, or any agent for such Holder, has
filed or recorded publicly any Liens and/or security interests to secure such Holder’s Secured Claim, then as soon as practicable
on or after the Effective Date, such Holder (or the agent for such Holder) shall take any and all steps requested by the Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors that are necessary or desirable to record
or effectuate the cancelation and/or extinguishment of such Liens and/or security interests, including the making of any applicable filings
or recordings, and the Reorganized Debtors shall be entitled to make any such filings or recordings on such Holder’s behalf.
C. | Releases by the Debtors |
Notwithstanding
anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, pursuant to section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, in exchange for good and valuable
consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, on and after the Effective Date, each Released Party is deemed to hereby conclusively,
absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably and forever be released by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and their Estates, in each case
on behalf of themselves and their respective successors, assigns or assignees, and representatives, any and all other Persons that may
purport to assert any Claim or Cause of Action derivatively, by, through, for, or because of the foregoing Persons, solely in their capacities
as such, from any and all claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, remedies, actions, and Causes of Action,
whether known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, foreseen or unforeseen, accrued or unaccrued,
existing or hereinafter arising, whether in law or in equity, whether sounding in tort or contract, whether arising under federal or state
statutory or common law, or any other applicable international, foreign or domestic law, rule, statute, regulation, treaty, right, duty,
requirements or otherwise, including any derivative claims, asserted or assertable on behalf of the Debtors, that the Debtors, the Reorganized
Debtors, or their Estates, including any successors to or assigns of the Debtors or any Estate’s representative appointed or selected
pursuant to section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether individually
or collectively),derivatively, or on behalf of the Holder of any Claim against, or Interest in, a Debtor, or that any Holder of any Claim
against or Interest in a Debtor or other Entity could have asserted on behalf of the Debtors, based on or relating to or in any manner

or other agreement or document created or entered into in connection with the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the Plan Supplement, the
Prepetition Plan Sponsor Loan, the DIP Facility or DIP Facility Documents, the Direct Investment Documents, the New Preferred Stock, the
New Common Stock, the Chapter 11 Cases, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the pursuit of Confirmation, the pursuit of Consummation,
the administration and implementation of the Plan, including the issuance or distribution of securities pursuant to the Plan, or the distribution
of property under the Plan or any other related agreement, or upon any other act or omission, transaction, agreement, event, or other
occurrence related or relating to any of the foregoing taking place on or before the Effective Date.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the releases set forth above do not release: claims or liabilities arising from any act or
omission of a Released Party that constitutes fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence each solely to the extent as determined
by a Final Order of a court of competent jurisdiction; (2) any obligations arising on or after the Effective Date of any party or Entity
under the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or any post-Effective Date transaction contemplated by the Restructuring Transactions or any

Transactions; (3) the rights of any Holder of Allowed Claims to receive distributions under the Plan; (4) any matters retained by the
Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors pursuant to the Schedule of Retained Causes of Action; or (5) any holder of an Administrative Claim,
Other Priority Claim, Other Secured Claim, from any obligations it owes to the Debtors in the ordinary course of business or under any
existing contracts.
D. | Releases by the Releasing Parties |
As of the
Effective Date, each Releasing Party is deemed conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably and forever to have released each
Released Party from any and all claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, remedies, actions, and Causes
of Action, whether known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, foreseen or unforeseen, accrued
or unaccrued, existing or hereinafter arising, whether in law or in equity, whether sounding in tort or contract, whether arising under
federal or state statutory or common law, or any other applicable international, foreign or domestic law, rule, statute, regulation, treaty,
right, duty, requirements or otherwise including any derivative claims, asserted on behalf of the Debtors or the Estates, that such Entity
would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether individually or collectively) or on behalf of anyone claiming by
or through the Releasing Parties, based on or relating to or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Debtors (including the
management, ownership, or operation thereof or otherwise), the purchase, sale or rescission of any security of the Debtors, the business
or contractual arrangements between any Debtor and any other entity, the Debtors’ in- or out-of-court restructuring efforts, any
Avoidance Actions, intercompany transactions, the Chapter 11 Cases, the formulation, preparation, dissemination, solicitation, negotiation,

or distribution of securities pursuant to the Plan, or the distribution of property under the Plan or any other related agreement, or
upon any other act or omission, transaction, agreement, event, or other occurrence taking place on or before the Effective Date.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Third-Party Release does not release: (1) claims or liabilities arising from any act
or omission of a Released Party that constitutes fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence each solely to the extent as
determined by a Final Order of a court of competent jurisdiction; (2) any obligations arising on or after the Effective Date of any
party or Entity under the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or any post-Effective Date transaction contemplated by the Restructuring
Transactions or any document, instrument, or agreement (including those set forth in the Plan Supplement) executed to implement the
Plan or the Restructuring Transactions; or (3) the rights of any Holder of Allowed Claims to receive distributions under the
Plan.
Except as
otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, no Exculpated Party shall have or incur any liability for, and each Exculpated Party shall
be exculpated from any Cause of Action for any claim related to any act or omission occurring between the Petition Date and the Effective
Date in connection with, relating to or arising out of (i) the management, ownership or operation of the Debtors, (ii) the business or
contractual arrangements between any Debtor and any other entity, (iii) the Chapter 11 Cases, and (iv) any other act or omission, transaction,
agreement, event or other occurrence taking place on or before the Effective Date, including the formulation, preparation, dissemination,
negotiation, or filing of the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the DIP Facility, the New Preferred Stock, the New Common Stock, or any

anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the exculpation set forth above does not exculpate any obligations arising on or after the
Effective Date of any Person or Entity under the Plan, any post- Effective Date transaction contemplated by the Restructuring Transactions,
or any document, instrument, or agreement (including those set forth in the Plan Supplement) executed to implement the Plan. The Exculpated
Parties have, and upon completion of the Plan shall be deemed to have, participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable
laws with regard to the solicitation of votes and distribution of consideration pursuant to the Plan and, therefore, are not, and on account
of such distributions shall not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation
of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or such distributions made pursuant to the Plan. The exculpation will be in addition to, and
not in limitation of, all other releases, indemnities, exculpations and any other applicable law or rules protecting such Exculpated Parties
from liability.
Effective
as of the Effective Date, all Entities that have held, hold, or may hold claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands,
debts, rights, remedies, actions, or Causes of Actions that have been released, discharged, or exculpated under the Plan or
Confirmation Order are permanently enjoined, from and after the Effective Date, from taking any of the following actions against, as
applicable, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Exculpated Parties, or the any of the Released Parties (collectively, the
“Enjoined Matters”): (1) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind on
account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Enjoined Matters; (2) enforcing, attaching, collecting, or recovering
by any manner or means any judgment, award, decree, or order against such Entities on account of or in connection with or with
respect to any such Enjoined Matters; (3) creating, perfecting, or enforcing any Lien encumbrance of any kind against such Entities
or the property or the estates of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Enjoined Matters;
and (4) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or
with respect to any such Enjoined Matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the injunction set forth above
does not enjoin the enforcement of any obligations arising on or after the Effective Date of any Person or Entity under the Plan,
any post-Effective Date transaction contemplated by the Restructuring Transactions, or any document, instrument, or agreement
(including those set forth in the Plan Supplement) executed to implement the Plan.
Upon entry
of the Confirmation Order, all Holders of Claims and Interests and their respective current and former employees, agents, officers, directors,
managers, principals, and direct and indirect Affiliates, in their capacities as such, shall be enjoined from taking any actions to interfere
with the implementation or Consummation of the Plan.
G. | Protections Against Discriminatory Treatment |
Consistent with
section 525 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, all Governmental Units shall not discriminate against
the Reorganized Debtors or deny, revoke, suspend, or refuse to renew a license, permit, charter, franchise, or other similar grant to,
condition such a grant to, discriminate with respect to such a grant against, the Reorganized Debtors, or another Entity with whom the
Reorganized Debtors have been associated, solely because each Debtor has been a debtor under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, has been
insolvent before the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases (or during the Chapter 11 Cases but before the Debtors are granted or denied
a discharge), or has not paid a debt that is dischargeable in the Chapter 11 Cases.
On and after the
Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may maintain documents in accordance with their standard document retention policy, as may be
altered, amended, modified, or supplemented by the Reorganized Debtors.
I. | Reimbursement or Contribution |
If
the Bankruptcy Court disallows a Claim for reimbursement or contribution of an Entity pursuant to section 502(e)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy
Code, then to the extent that such Claim is contingent as of the time of allowance or disallowance, such Claim shall be forever disallowed
and expunged notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless prior to the Confirmation Date (1) such Claim has been adjudicated
as non-contingent or (2) the relevant Holder of a Claim has Filed a non-contingent Proof of Claim on account of such Claim and a Final
Order has been entered prior to the Confirmation Date determining such Claim as no longer contingent.

ARTICLE XII.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
The Restructuring
Transactions shall be structured in a tax efficient manner acceptable to the Debtors and the Plan Sponsor.
B. | Immediate Binding Effect |
Subject to Article
IX.A hereof and notwithstanding Bankruptcy Rules 3020(e), 6004(h), or 7062 or otherwise, upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, the
terms of the Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the documents contained in the Plan Supplement) shall be immediately effective
and enforceable and deemed binding upon the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, any and all Holders of Claims against or Interests in the
Debtors (irrespective of whether such Holders have, or are deemed to have accepted the Plan), all Entities that are parties to or are
subject to the settlements, compromises, releases, discharges, and injunctions described in the Plan, each Entity acquiring property under
the Plan, and any and all non-Debtor parties to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases with the Debtors. All Claims and Interests shall
be as fixed, adjusted, or compromised, as applicable, pursuant to the Plan regardless of whether any Holder of a Claim or Interest has
voted on the Plan.
On or before the
Effective Date, (1) the Debtors may file with the Bankruptcy Court such agreements and other documents as may be necessary to effectuate
and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan and (2) the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and all Holders
of Claims against the Debtors receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan, and all other parties in interest, shall, from time to time,
to the extent commercially reasonable, prepare, execute, and deliver any agreements or documents and take any other

Except as expressly
set forth in the Plan, the Plan shall have no force or effect unless the Bankruptcy Court enters the Confirmation Order, and the Confirmation
Order shall have no force or effect if the Effective Date does not occur. None of the Filing of the Plan, any statement or provision contained
in the Plan, or the taking of any action by any Debtor with respect to the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or the Plan Supplement shall
be or shall be deemed to be an admission or waiver of any rights of any Debtor with respect to the Holders of Claims or Interests prior
to the Effective Date.
The rights, benefits,
and obligations of any Entity named or referred to in the Plan shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of any heir, executor,
administrator, successor or assign, Affiliate, officer, manager, trustee, director, agent, trustee, representative, attorney, beneficiary,
or guardian, if any, of each Entity; provided that nothing in this Article XII.F modifies section 524(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.

After the Effective
Date, the Reorganized Debtors have the authority to send a notice to Entities that had requested to receive documents pursuant to Bankruptcy
Rule 2002, requesting that such Entity file a renewed request to receive documents pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002. After the Effective
Date, and provided such notice was sent, the Reorganized Debtors are authorized to limit the list of Entities receiving documents pursuant
to Bankruptcy Rule 2002 to those Entities who have Filed such renewed requests. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Reorganized
Debtors shall provide notice of any documents to all Entities whose rights are affected by any such document Filed by the Reorganized
Debtors.
H. | Term of Injunctions or Stays. |
Unless otherwise
provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order, all injunctions or stays in effect in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to sections 105
or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any order of the Bankruptcy Court, and extant on the Confirmation Date (excluding any injunctions or
stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order) shall remain in full force and effect until the Effective Date. All injunctions
or stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.
Except as otherwise
indicated, the Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the documents and instruments in the Plan Supplement) supersedes all previous
and contemporaneous negotiations, promises, covenants, agreements, understandings, and representations on such subjects, all of which
have become merged and integrated into the Plan.
All exhibits
and documents included in the Plan Supplement are incorporated into and are a part of the Plan as if set forth in full in the Plan. After
the exhibits and documents are Filed, copies of such exhibits and documents shall be available upon written request to the Debtors’
counsel at the address above or by downloading such exhibits and documents from the Debtors’ restructuring website at https://cases.ra.kroll.com/PARTSID
or the Bankruptcy Court’s website at www.deb.uscourts.gov. To the extent any exhibit or document is inconsistent with the terms
of the Plan, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the Plan Supplement shall control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, the Plan Supplement, and any exhibits, agreements, forms, notices, and other documents contained therein
shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Plan Sponsor.
K. | Nonseverability of Plan Provisions. |
If, prior to Confirmation,
any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court shall 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 shall then be
applicable as altered or interpreted; provided, however, any such alteration or interpretation shall be acceptable to the
Debtors and the Plan Sponsor. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions
of the 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 shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of
the Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is: (1) valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms;
(2) integral to the Plan and may not be deleted or modified without the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ consent, as applicable;
and (3) nonseverable and mutually dependent.
L. | Votes Solicited in Good Faith. |
Upon entry of
the Confirmation Order, the Debtors will be deemed to have solicited votes on the Plan in good faith and in compliance with section 1125(g)
of the Bankruptcy Code, and pursuant to section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors, the Plan Sponsor, and each of their respective
Affiliates, agents, representatives, members, principals, shareholders, officers, trustees, directors, employees, advisors, and attorneys
will be deemed to have participated in good faith and in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code in the offer, issuance, sale, and purchase
of securities offered and sold under the Plan and any previous plan, and, therefore, neither any of such parties or individuals or the
Reorganized Debtors will have any liability for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of
votes on the Plan or the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of the Securities offered and sold under the Plan and any previous plan.
