CROSS REFERENCE KEY
I.
Overview to Cross Reference Key
This Chapter 11 Plan is a “fill in the blank
form.”
The user only fills in the blanks. DO NOT CHANGE THE
LANGUAGE IN THE REST OF THE FORM, EXCEPT IN THE FEW
PLACES WHERE THE INSTRUCTIONS EXPRESSLY TELL YOU THAT
YOU MAY OMIT A SENTENCE OR CLASS IF IT IS NOT NEEDED
FOR YOUR CASE.
As you read this Form, you will notice blanks with
numbers in them, and also numbers at the end of certain
sentences or phrases.
*
Here is an example of a blank with a
number:
1
*
Here is an example of a sentence with a
number:
This is an example.2
These numbers refer to the numbered instructions in
this “Cross Reference Key.” When you encounter one of
these numbers, in the form itself, you need to refer to
the “Cross Reference Key,” and read the applicable
numbered instruction. In our examples above,
instructions number 1 and 2 would be applicable
instructions. Follow the instructions to fill in the
needed information.
a.
Why the Instructions in this Cross Reference Key
are in Two Different Types of Print
When you read the numbered instructions in the
“Cross Reference Key” you will see that these
instructions are printed in two different types
of print, Courier New 12 pt. and Helvetica 10 pt.
Instructions in Courier New 12 pt. font (the font you
are currently reading), mean that you are to simply
provide the information requested in the endnote and
insert it in the corresponding blank. For example, if
instruction number 1 states “Debtor’s name”, then you
should insert the Debtor’s name in blank number 1.
Instructions in Helvetica 10 pt. font may contain
explanations on how to use the disclosure
statement form, explanations of the law, or
examples of what should be inserted in a
particular blank. Read and follow these
instructions also.

circumstances where it is permissible to have additional
general unsecured classes, primarily where one or more
general unsecured creditors are agreeing to receive worse
treatment than is being given to the rest of the general
unsecured creditors, then the creditors agreeing to be
treated worse can be placed in a separate general unsecured
class. Do not use more than one general unsecured class
unless you can justify doing so under applicable law.
