A.
Voting procedures
Under the Bankruptcy Code, the only classes that are entitled to vote to accept or reject a
plan are classes of claims, or equity interest, that are impaired under the plan. Accordingly, classes
of claims or interests that are not impaired are not entitled to vote on the plan.
Creditors that hold claims in more than one impaired class are entitled to vote separately
in each class. Such a creditor will receive a separate ballot for all of its claims in each class (in
accordance with the records of the Clerk of the Court) and should complete and sign each ballot
separately. A creditor who asserts a claim in more than one class and who has not been provided
with sufficient ballots may photocopy the ballot received and file multiple ballots.
Votes on the plan will be counted only with respect to claims: (a) that are listed on the
Debtor's Schedules of Assets and Liabilities other than as disputed, contingent or unliquidated; or
(b) for which a proof of claim was filed on or before the bar date set by the Court for the filing of
proofs of claim (except for certain claims expressly excluded from that bar date or which are
allowed by Court order). However, any vote by a holder of a claim will not be counted if such claim
has been disallowed or is the subject of an unresolved objection, absent an order of the Court
allowing such claim for voting purposes pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 502 and Bankruptcy Rule 3018.
Voting on the plan by each holder of a claim or interest in an impaired class is important.
After carefully reviewing the plan and disclosure statement, each holder of such a claim or interest
should vote on the enclosed ballot either to accept or to reject the plan, and then return the ballot
by mail to the debtor's attorney by the deadline previously established by the court.
Any ballot that does not appropriately indicate acceptance or rejection of the plan will not
be counted.
A ballot that is not received by the deadline will not be counted.
If a ballot is damaged, lost, or missing, a replacement ballot may be obtained by sending a
written request to the debtor's attorney.
B.
Acceptance
The Bankruptcy Code defines acceptance of a plan by an impaired class of claims as
acceptance by the holders of at least two-thirds in dollar amount, and more than one-half in number,
of the claims of that class which actually cast ballots. The Bankruptcy Code defines acceptance of
a plan by an impaired class of equity interests as acceptance by holders of at least two-thirds in
number of the equity interests of that class that actually cast ballots. If no creditor or interest holder
in an impaired class votes, then that class has not accepted the plan.

C.
Confirmation
11 U.S.C. § 1129(a) establishes conditions for the confirmation of a plan. These conditions
are too numerous and detailed to be fully explained here. Parties are encouraged to seek
independent legal counsel to answer any questions concerning the Chapter 11 process.
Among the several conditions for confirmation of a plan under 11 U.S.C. § 1129(a) are
these:
1.
2.
D.
Each class of impaired creditors and interest must accept the plan, as described in
paragraph VI.B., above.
Either each holder of a claim or interest in a class must accept the plan, or the plan
must provide at least as much value as would be received upon liquidation under
Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Modification
The debtor reserves the right to modify or withdraw the plan at any time before confirmation.
E.
Effect of confirmation
If the plan is confirmed by the Court:
1.
Its terms are binding on the debtor, all creditors, shareholders and other parties in
interest, regardless of whether they have accepted the plan.
2.
Except as provided in the plan:
(a)
In the case of a corporation that is reorganizing and continuing business:
(1)
All claims and interests will be discharged.
(2)
Creditors and shareholders will be prohibited from asserting their
claims against or interest in the debtor or its assets.
(b)
In the case of a corporation that is liquidating and not continuing its
business:
(1)
Claims and interests will not be discharged.
(2)
Creditors and shareholders will not be prohibited from asserting
their claims against or interests in the debtor or its assets.
(c)
In the case of an individual or husband and wife:
(1)
Claims will be discharged, except as provided in 11 U.S.C. §§ 523
and 727(a).
(2)
Creditors will be prohibited from asserting their claims except as to
those debts which are not discharged or dischargeable under 11
U.S.C. §§ 523 and 727(a).
See Part II-A of this Disclosure Statement to determine which of the above paragraphs
applies in this case.
