FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

A.Jurisdiction and Venue. The Court has jurisdiction over the Chapter 11 Cases, approval of the Disclosure Statement and confirmation of the Plan pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157, 1334, and the Amended Standing Order of Reference from the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, dated February 29, 2012. Confirmation of the Plan and approval of the Disclosure Statement are core proceedings pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(A), (L), and (O), and the Court has jurisdiction to enter a Final Order with respect thereto. Each of the Debtors is an

- 4 -

eligible debtor under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code. Venue is proper before the Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.

B.Commencement and Joint Administration of Chapter 11 Cases. On January 11, 2021 (the “Petition Date”), the Debtors commenced the Chapter 11 Cases. By order of the Court [Docket No. 41], the Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered for procedural purposes only pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1015. The Debtors managed their affairs as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. No trustee, examiner, or official committee has been appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases.

C.Judicial Notice. The Court takes judicial notice of the docket of the Chapter 11 Cases maintained by the Clerk of the Court, including, but not limited to, all pleadings and other documents filed, all orders entered, and all evidence and arguments made, proffered, adduced, and/or presented at the various hearings held before the Court during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases.

D.Adequacy of Disclosure Statement. The Disclosure Statement (a) contains sufficient information of a kind necessary to satisfy the disclosure requirements of all applicable non-bankruptcy law, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), (b) contains “adequate information” (as such term is defined in section 1125(a)(1) and used in section 1126(b) of the Bankruptcy Code) with respect to the Debtors, the Plan, and the transactions set forth therein, and (c) is approved in all respects.

E.Voting. Votes on the Plan were solicited after disclosure of “adequate information” as defined in section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code. As evidenced by the Tabulation Declaration, votes to accept the Plan have been solicited and tabulated fairly, in good faith, and in a manner consistent with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the Local Rules.

- 5 -

F.Ballots. The Ballots (a) adequately addressed the particular needs of these Chapter 11 Cases; (b) were appropriate for holders of Claims in Class 4 (2020 Notes Claims) and Class 10 (Existing LP Units Interests), the Classes of Claims and Interests entitled under the Plan (the “Voting Classes”) to vote to accept or reject the Plan; and (c) were in compliance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and any other applicable rules, laws, and regulations.

G.Solicitation.

a.Prior to the Petition Date, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, and the Ballots, and, subsequent to the Petition Date, the Combined Notice, were transmitted and served in compliance with the Bankruptcy Rules (including Bankruptcy Rules 3017 and 3018), the Local Rules, and the Combined Hearing and Solicitation Order. The continued post-petition solicitation of the Voting Classes was proper and in compliance with section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code. The period during which the Debtors solicited acceptances to the Plan was a reasonable period of time for the Voting Classes to make an informed decision to accept or reject the Plan.

b.The Debtors were not required to solicit votes from the holders of Claims or Interests in Class 1 (Secured Claims), Class 2 (2025 OpCo Secured Notes Guaranty Claim), Class 3 (Other Priority Claims), Class 5 (Litigation Claims), Class 6 (General Unsecured Claims), Class 7 (Intercompany Claims), Class 8 (Intercompany Interests), or Class 9 (Existing GP Units), which are Unimpaired under the Plan and, therefore, deemed to accept the Plan. The Debtors also were not required to solicit votes from holders of Interests in Class 11 (Other Existing Equity Interests), if any, which are deemed to reject the Plan. As described in and as evidenced by the Tabulation Declaration, the transmittal and service of the Solicitation Package³ and the Combined

³ The Solicitation Package included (a) the Debtors’ cover letter in support of the Plan; (b) the appropriate Ballot and applicable voting instructions, together with a pre-addressed, postage prepaid return envelope; and (c) (i) with respect to Class 4, the Disclosure Statement and all exhibits thereto, including the Plan and all exhibits thereto and, (ii) with respect to Class 10, access to a website containing the Disclosure Statement and all exhibits thereto, including the Plan and all exhibits thereto

- 6 -

Notice was timely, adequate, and sufficient under the circumstances and in compliance with applicable law and rules.

c.The Solicitation of the Plan complied with the Solicitation Procedures, was appropriate and satisfactory based upon the circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases, was conducted in good faith, and complied with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and applicable non-bankruptcy law.

d.As set forth in the Tabulation Declaration, the Solicitation Package was distributed to Holders in the Voting Classes that held a Claim or Interest as of the Voting Record Date. The establishment and notice of the Voting Record Date was reasonable and sufficient. The thirty-two (32) day period during which the Debtors solicited acceptances or rejections to the Plan from Holders of Claims and Interests in Voting Classes was a reasonable and sufficient period of time for such Claims to make an informed decision to accept or reject the Plan.

H.Notice. As is evidenced by the Notice Affidavit, the Tabulation Declaration, and the Publication Affidavit, as applicable, the Combined Notice, the Disclosure Statement, and the Plan, and service thereof, complied with the terms of the Combined Hearing and Solicitation Order, were appropriate and satisfactory based upon the circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases, and was in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the Local Rules. No other or further notice is required.

I.Plan Supplement. The filing and notice of the Plan Supplement (and subsequent amendments, modifications, and supplements thereto filed with the Court) was proper and in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and the Combined

- 7 -

Hearing and Solicitation Order, and no other or further notice is or shall be required. Subject to and consistent with the terms of the Plan and the Transaction Support Agreement, the Debtors’ right to alter, amend, update or modify the Plan Supplement, as well as the documents set forth therein before the Effective Date, is reserved, provided that such modifications are in form and substance acceptable to the Required Consenting Noteholders.

J.Plan Modifications. The Plan and Plan Supplement contain certain modifications made after expiration of the Voting Deadline. Such modifications comply with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules, and Local Rules. Such modifications constitute immaterial and/or technical modifications and/or do not adversely affect the treatment of any Claims or Interests. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3019, the modifications do not require additional disclosure under section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code or the re-solicitation of votes under section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, nor do they require that the holders of Claims or Interests be afforded an opportunity to change previously cast acceptances or rejections of the Plan. No holder of a Claim shall be permitted to change its vote as a consequence of such modifications. Notice of these modifications was adequate and appropriate under the facts and circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases.

K.Burden of Proof. The Debtors, as Plan proponents, have met their burden of proving the satisfaction of the requirements for confirmation of the Plan set forth in section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code by a preponderance of the evidence, which is the applicable standard. Further, each witness who testified or submitted a declaration on behalf of the Debtors at or in connection with (including by declaration) the Combined Hearing was credible, reliable, and qualified to testify as to the topics addressed in his or her testimony.

- 8 -

L.Voting Results. As more fully set forth in the Tabulation Declaration, Class 4 and Class 10 voted to accept the Plan. Class 11 (Other Existing Equity Interests), which class was impaired and deemed to reject, is a vacant class and is, therefore, deemed eliminated in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. All other Classes of Claims and Interests are Unimpaired and therefore not entitled to vote on the Plan.

M.Bankruptcy Rule 3016. The Plan is dated and identifies the Debtors as the entities submitting the Plan, thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a). The filing of the Disclosure Statement satisfied Bankruptcy Rule 3016(b).

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 1129 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE

N.Plan Compliance with Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(1)). As further detailed below, the Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, including each element of sections 1129(a). Because all Classes of Claims and Interests have accepted or are deemed to have accepted the Plan, section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code is not applicable to the Plan.

a.Proper Classification (11 U.S.C. §§ 1122 and 1123(a)(1)). Article III of the Plan designates eleven Classes of Claims or Interests. The Claims or Interests in each Class are substantially similar to other Claims or Interests in each such Class. Valid business, legal, and factual reasons exist for separately classifying the various Classes of Claims and Interests under the Plan. The Plan, therefore, satisfies sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

b.Specified Unimpaired Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(2)). The Plan specifies that Classes 1-3 and 5-9 are Unimpaired under the Plan within the meaning of section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby satisfying section 1123(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

- 9 -

c.Specified Treatment of Impaired Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(3)). The Plan specifies that Classes 4, 10 and 11 are Impaired under the Plan within the meaning of section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code, and specifies the treatment of such Classes; provided, however, that Class 11 is vacant and, thus, pursuant to the Plan, is deemed an eliminated class. Therefore, the Plan satisfies section 1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.

d.No Disparate Treatment (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(4)). The Plan meets the requirements of section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code because Holders of Allowed Claims or Interests will receive, on account of such Claims and Interests, the same rights and treatment as other Holders of Allowed Claims or Interests within such Holders’ respective Classes. The Plan, therefore, satisfies section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

e.Implementation of Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(5)). Article VI and other provisions of the Plan, the various documents included in the Plan Supplement, and the terms of this confirmation order (this “Order”) provide adequate and proper means for the implementation of the Plan, including, without limitation, the (a) consummation of the Restructuring Transactions and (b) issuance of the New Class A Units and the New Class B Units. The Plan, therefore, satisfies section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.

f.Charter Provisions (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(6)). The provisions of section 1123(a)(6) are inapplicable as Debtor Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. (“HoldCo”) is not a corporation as required by section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code and Debtor Ferrellgas Partners Finance Corp. is wholly-owned by Debtor HoldCo and is not issuing securities in connection with the Plan.

g.Designation of Directors and Officers (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(7)). Pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Plan, on the Effective Date, the Board of Directors of Ferrellgas, Inc., the general partner of Debtor HoldCo, will include those directors set forth in the Plan Supplement,

- 10 -

subject to and consistent with the Transaction Support Agreement (including the consent rights set forth therein). On and after the Effective Date, the existing officers of the Debtors shall continue to serve as officers for the Reorganized Debtors and the officers and overall management structure of Reorganized HoldCo, and all officers and management decisions with respect to Reorganized HoldCo, compensation arrangements, and affiliate transactions shall only be subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of Ferrellgas, Inc. (or such other approvals as may be required pursuant to the New Governance Documents). The Debtors do not have any employees, employment contracts, employee benefit obligations, or retiree benefits (as such term is defined in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code) at this time. The selection of the members of the Board of Directors of Ferrellgas, Inc. and members of the senior management team is consistent with the interests of all Holders of Claims and Interests, and public policy. No party in interest has objected to the manner of selection of the boards of directors of Ferrellgas, Inc. or the officers of the Debtors. Accordingly, the Debtors respectfully submit that the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.

h.Additional Plan Provisions (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)). 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.Impairment/Unimpairment of Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(1)). In accordance with section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Classes 1-3 and 5-9 are Unimpaired, and Classes 4, 10 and 11 are Impaired, by the Plan.

ii.Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(2)). On the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan

- 11 -

or in any contract, instrument, release, indenture, or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan, all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases (including the Transaction Support Agreement, to the extent not already assumed pursuant to this Order) shall be deemed assumed without the need for any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Court, as of the Effective Date under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease (1) was assumed or rejected previously by the Debtors; (2) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms; (3) is the subject of a motion to reject filed on or before the Effective Date; or (4) is identified on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List set forth in the Plan Supplement. Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, entry of this Order shall constitute approval of the assumptions, assumptions and assignments and rejections described in Article V of the Plan pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan or by Court order but not assigned to a third party 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 Court authorizing and providing for its assumption under applicable federal law. Thus, the Plan complies with section 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

iii.Retention of Claims (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(3)).

1.Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, this Order, the Plan Supplement, the Transaction Support Agreement, or in any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated in or entered into in connection with the Plan, on the Effective Date, all property in each Debtor’s Estate, including all claims, rights, defenses, cross-claims, counterclaims, Causes of Action, and any property (including, without limitation, any claims,

- 12 -

rights or Causes of Action in any of the Litigation Actions) wherever located, acquired by any of the Debtors under or in connection with the Plan shall vest in each respective Reorganized Debtor, free and clear of all Liens, Claims, charges, or other encumbrances and Interests. On and after the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, each Reorganized Debtor may manage its affairs and may use, acquire, or dispose of property, wherever located, and prosecute and compromise or settle any Claims (including any Administrative Expense Claims), Interests, or Causes of Action (including, without limitation, any claims, rights or Causes of Action in any of the Litigation Actions) without supervision or approval by the Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules other than restrictions expressly imposed by the Plan or this Order. Without limiting the foregoing, the Reorganized Debtors may pay the charges that they incur on or after the Effective Date for Professionals’ and ordinary course professionals’ fees, disbursements, expenses or related support services without application to the Court. Thus, the Plan complies with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.

2.Except as expressly provided in the Plan or in this Order, nothing contained in the Plan or this Order shall be deemed to be a waiver or relinquishment of any rights, interests, defenses, claims or Causes of Action that the Reorganized Debtors, the Debtors, or the Estates may have, or that the Reorganized Debtors or the Debtors may choose to assert on behalf of their respective Estates or the Estates, as applicable, under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable non-bankruptcy law, including, without limitation, (A) any and all Causes of Action or claims against any Person or Entity, to the extent such Person or Entity asserts a crossclaim, counterclaim and/or claim for setoff that seeks affirmative relief against the Debtors, their officers, directors or representatives or (B) the turnover of any property of the Estates to the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors.

- 13 -

3.Except as expressly provided in the Plan or in this Order, nothing contained in the Plan or this Order shall be deemed to be a waiver or relinquishment of any rights, interests, defenses, claims or Causes of Action that the Debtors had immediately prior to the Petition Date or the Effective Date against or regarding any Claim left Unimpaired by the Plan, including without limitation, any Claim related to or arising in the Litigation Actions. The Reorganized Debtors or the Debtors, as applicable, shall have, retain, reserve and be entitled to commence, assert and pursue all such rights, interests, defenses, claims and Causes of Action as fully as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced, and all of the Debtors’ legal and equitable rights respecting any Claim left Unimpaired by the Plan, including, without limitation, any Litigation Action, may be asserted after the Confirmation Date to the same extent as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced.

iv.Additional Plan Provisions (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(6)). The Plan’s other provisions are appropriate and consistent with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including, but not limited to, provisions for (i) distributions to holders of Claims, (ii) resolution of Disputed Claims and Interests, (iii) Allowance of certain Claims and Interests, (iv) indemnification obligations, (v) releases by the Debtors of certain parties, (vi) releases by certain third parties, (vii) exculpations of certain parties, (viii) injunctions from certain actions, (ix) retention of the Court’s jurisdiction, and (x) estimation of any Disputed Claims or Disputed Interests, thereby satisfying the requirements of section 1123(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.

v.Cure of Defaults (11 U.S.C. 1123(d)). Any monetary defaults under each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan, if any, shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the cure amount in Cash on the Effective Date or in the ordinary course of business, subject to the limitation described

- 14 -

below, or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases may otherwise agree. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that failed to object timely to the proposed assumption is deemed to have consented to such assumption. In the event of a dispute regarding: (1) the amount of any payments to cure such a default; (2) the ability of the Reorganized Debtors or any assignee to provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed; or (3) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the payment of the cure amount shall be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall be authorized to reject any executory contract or unexpired lease to the extent the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, in the exercise of their sound business judgment, concludes that the cure amount as determined by Final Order or as otherwise finally resolved, renders assumption of such contract or lease unfavorable to the applicable Debtor’s Estate or the applicable Reorganized Debtor. Such rejected contracts, if any, shall be deemed as listed on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List. 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 (including “anti-assignment”, “ipso facto”, or similar provisions contained therein), arising under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time prior to the effective date of assumption. Any Proof of Claim filed with respect to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that has been assumed shall be deemed disallowed and expunged, without further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Court. Thus, the Plan complies with section 1123(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.

- 15 -

O.The Debtors’ Compliance with Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(2)). As further detailed below, the Debtors have complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Specifically:

a.Each Debtor is a proper debtor under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code.

b.The Debtors have complied with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise provided or permitted by orders of the Court.

c.The Debtors have complied with the applicable provisions of the Combined Hearing and Solicitation Order, the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the Local Rules, including, but not limited to, sections 1125 and 1126(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, in (a) transmitting the Solicitation Package and related documents and (b) soliciting and tabulating votes with respect to the Plan.

d.Good, sufficient, and timely notice of the Combined Hearing has been provided to each holder of Claims and Interests that was entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan and to holders of Claims or Interests that were not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

P.Plan Proposed in Good Faith (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(3)). The Plan is the product of the open, honest, and good faith process through which the Debtors have conducted their restructuring and reflects extensive, good faith, arm’s length negotiations among the Debtors and the Consenting Noteholders (as defined in the Transaction Support Agreement), and their other economic stakeholders. The Plan itself and the process leading to its formulation provide independent evidence of the Debtors’ good faith, serve the public interest, and assure fair treatment of holders of Claims and Interests. Consistent with the overriding purpose of the Bankruptcy Code, the Chapter 11 Cases were filed and the Plan was proposed with the legitimate and honest purpose of maximizing the value of the Debtors’ Estates. Accordingly, the Plan is fair, reasonable, and

- 16 -

consistent with sections 1122, 1123, and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. Based on the foregoing, the facts and record of the Chapter 11 Cases, including, but not limited to, the Combined Hearing, the First Day Declaration, the Burns Confirmation Declaration, and the Ryniker Declaration, the Plan has been proposed in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Q.Payment for Services or Cost and Expenses (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(4)). All payments made or to be made by the Debtors for services or for costs and expenses in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, or in connection with the Plan and incident to the Chapter 11 Cases, have been authorized by, approved by, or are subject to the approval of, the Court as reasonable, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

R.Service of Certain Individuals (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(5)). On the Effective Date, the Board of Directors of Ferrellgas, Inc., the general partner, shall consist of directors set forth in the Plan Supplement, which shall be subject to and consistent with the Transaction Support Agreement (including the consent rights set forth therein). On and after the Effective Date, the existing officers of the Debtors shall continue to serve as officers for the Reorganized Debtors and the officers and overall management structure of the Reorganized Debtors, and all officers and management decisions with respect to the Reorganized Debtors (and/or any of their direct or indirect subsidiaries), compensation arrangements, and affiliate transactions shall only be subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of Ferrellgas, Inc., the general partner (or such other approvals as may be required pursuant to the New Governance Documents). The Debtors do not have any employees, employment contracts, employee benefit obligations, or retiree benefits (as such term is defined in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code) at this time. On February 5, 2021, the Debtors disclosed the identity and affiliations of the members of the Board of Directors of the

- 17 -

general partner, Ferrellgas, Inc. and of the Officers of the Reorganized Debtors. Accordingly, the Debtors have satisfied the requirements of section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.

S.Rate Changes (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(6)). The Plan does not provide for any rate changes over which a governmental regulatory commission has jurisdiction, and, accordingly, section 1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable to the Plan.

T.Best Interest of Creditors (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(7)).

a.The Plan satisfies section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code because 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.

b.In addition, the liquidation analysis attached as Exhibit C to the Disclosure Statement, the Ryniker Declaration and the other evidence related thereto in support of the Plan that was proffered or adduced at, prior to, or in affidavits in connection with, the Combined Hearing (a) are reasonable, persuasive, credible, and accurate as of the dates such analysis or evidence was proffered, adduced, and/or presented, (b) utilize reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions, (c) have not been controverted by other evidence, and (d) establish that, with respect to each Impaired Class of Claims or Interests, each holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest in such Class shall receive under the Plan on account of such Allowed Claim or Interest property of a value, as of the Effective Date, that is not less than the amount such holder would receive if the Debtors were liquidated on the Effective Date under chapter 7 of the

- 18 -

Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, the Debtors have satisfied the requirements of section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.

U.Acceptance by Certain Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(8)).

a.Holders of Claims in Class 1 (Secured Claims), Class 2 (2025 OpCo Secured Notes Guaranty), Class 3 (Other Priority Claims), Class 5 (Litigation Claims), Class 6 (General Unsecured Claims), Class 7 (Intercompany Claims), Class 8 (Intercompany Interests), and Class 9 (Existing GP Units) are Unimpaired and, pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan, thus meeting the requirements of section 1128(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code.

b.As reflected in the Tabulation Declaration, more than the requisite number of holders and Claim amounts in each Impaired Class of Claims entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan have affirmatively voted to accept the Plan (i.e., Class 4 (2020 Notes Claims) voted 93.82% in number and 99.84% in amount to accept the Plan and Class 10 (Existing LP Units Interests) voted 95.89% in amount to accept the Plan). Furthermore, Class 11 (Other Existing Equity Interests), which class was impaired and deemed to reject, is a vacant class and is, therefore, deemed eliminated in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

c.Accordingly, the Debtors have satisfied the requirements of section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to such Impaired Classes of Claims or Interests.

V.Treatment of Administrative Expense Claims, Priority Tax Claims, Other Priority Claims, and Other Secured Claims (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(9)). The treatment of Administrative Expense Claims, Priority Tax Claims, Other Priority Claims, and Other Secured Claims pursuant to Articles II and III of the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code.

- 19 -

W.Acceptance by Impaired Class of Claims (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(10)). Class 4 (2020 Notes Claims), which is Impaired under the Plan, has voted to accept the Plan, determined without including any vote to accept the Plan by any insider, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code.

X.Feasibility (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(11)). All Allowed Claims shall be paid or otherwise satisfied in accordance with the terms of the Plan or Definitive Documents. The evidence proffered, adduced, and/or presented at the Combined Hearing (1) is reasonable, persuasive, credible, and accurate as of the dates such analysis or evidence was prepared, presented, or proffered, (2) utilizes reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions, (3) has not been controverted by other evidence, and (4) establishes that the Plan is feasible, 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, and the confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of the Reorganized Debtors, thereby satisfying the requirements of section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Y.Payment of Fees (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(12)). Section 2.04 of the Plan provides that all such fees payable under section 1930 of Title 28 of the United States Code, to the extent not previously paid, will be paid by each of the applicable Reorganized Debtors for each quarter (including any fraction thereof) until the applicable Chapter 11 Case of such Reorganized Debtor is converted, dismissed, or closed, whichever occurs first, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Z.Continuation of Retiree Benefits (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(13)). Section 5.08 of the Plan provides that from and after the Effective Date, all retiree benefits as defined in section 1114

- 20 -

of the Bankruptcy Code, if any, will continue in accordance with applicable law. Therefore, the Debtors have satisfied section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code.

AA.Domestic Support Obligations (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(14)). The Debtors are not required by a judicial or administrative order, or by statute, to pay a domestic support obligation and, accordingly, section 1129(a)(14) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable to the Plan.

BB.Plan of an Individual Debtor (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(15)). None of the Debtors are individuals and, accordingly, section 1129(a)(15) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable to the Plan.

CC.Transfers in Accordance with Non-bankruptcy Law (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(16)). None of the Debtor entities is a nonprofit entity and, accordingly, section 1129(a)(16) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable to the Plan.

DD.Cramdown Not Applicable (11 U.S.C. § 1129(b)). The provisions of section 1129(b) do not apply to the Plan because all Classes of Claims and Interests have accepted or are deemed to have accepted the Plan.

EE.Only One Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1129(c)). The Plan is the only plan that has been filed in the Chapter 11 Cases and meets the requirements of section 1129(a), thereby satisfying the requirements of section 1129(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.

FF.Principal Purpose of Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1129(d)). The principal purpose of the Plan is not the avoidance of taxes or the avoidance of the application of section 5 of the Securities Act, thereby satisfying the requirements of section 1129(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.

GG.Not Small Business Cases (11 U.S.C. § 1129(e)). The Chapter 11 Cases are not small business cases and, accordingly, section 1129(e) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable to the Chapter 11 Cases.

- 21 -

HH.Good Faith Solicitation (11 U.S.C. § 1125(e)). Based on the record of the Chapter 11 Cases, including, but not limited to, the evidence proffered, adduced, and/or presented at the Combined Hearing, which is reasonable, persuasive, and credible, utilizes reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions, and has not been controverted by other evidence, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and each of their successors, predecessors, control persons, members, agents, employees, officers, directors, financial advisors, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals (1) have solicited acceptances of the Plan in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including, but not limited to, section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, and any applicable non-bankruptcy law, rule, or regulation governing the adequacy of disclosure in connection with such solicitation, and (2) shall be deemed to have participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code in the offer, issuance, sale, and purchase of any securities offered and sold under the Plan (including, without limitation, the New Class A Units and the New Class B Units) and, therefore, (a) are not, and, on account of any such offer, issuance, and solicitation, shall not be, liable at any time for any violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of any securities offered and sold under the Plan and (b) are entitled to the protections afforded by section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and the exculpation provisions set forth in Article VII of the Plan. In addition, the Debtors have acted and entered into the documents effectuating the Debtors’ restructuring pursuant to the Plan in good faith and shall be deemed to continue to act in good faith if they proceed to consummate the Plan, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and the Debtors’ restructuring pursuant thereto. The Debtors fairly and reasonably negotiated the transactions effectuating the Debtors’ restructuring at arm’s length and in good faith, and the

- 22 -

resulting terms of the agreements (including each of the Definitive Documents) are in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates.

II.Satisfaction of Confirmation Requirements. Based upon 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.

ADDITIONAL FINDINGS REGARDING CHAPTER 11 CASES AND PLAN

JJ.Adequate Assurance. The Debtors have provided adequate assurance of future performance for each of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that are being assumed, if any, by the Debtors pursuant to the Plan. The Debtors have cured or provided adequate assurance that the Reorganized Debtors will cure defaults (if any) under or relating to each of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that are being assumed by the Debtors pursuant to the Plan. The Plan and such assumptions, therefore, satisfy the requirements of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

KK.Implementation. All documents and agreements necessary to implement the Plan, including, but not limited to, the Plan Supplement, the New Governance Documents, the New Class A Units, and the New Class B Units, are essential elements of the Plan and have been negotiated in good faith and at arm’s length, and entry into and consummation of the transactions contemplated by each such document and agreement (in each case in form and substance acceptable to the Required Consenting Noteholders as required by the Transaction Support Agreement) is in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, and the holders of Claims and Interests and shall, upon completion of documentation and execution, be valid, binding, and

- 23 -

enforceable agreements and not be in conflict with any federal, state, or local law. The Debtors have exercised reasonable business judgment in determining which agreements to enter into and have provided sufficient and adequate notice of such documents and agreements. The Debtors 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 to the Plan and to perform their obligations under such agreements, documents, instruments, and certificates in accordance with the Plan (provided that any documents that constitute Definitive Documents under the Transaction Support Agreement shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Required Consenting Noteholders or, to the extent such document does not constitute a Definitive Document, otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Required Consenting Noteholders).

LL.Transfers by the Debtors. All transfers of property of the Estates shall be free and clear of all Liens, Claims, charges, interests, and other encumbrances, in accordance with applicable law, except as expressly provided in the Plan or this Order.

MM.Exemption from Securities Law.

a.To the extent that the Debtors’ Solicitation prior to the Petition Date constituted an offer of new securities, the Solicitation was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and state “Blue Sky” laws, and similar statutes, rules, and regulations under including, without limitation, section 3(a)(9) and section 18(b)(4)(E) of the Securities Act. Section 3(a)(9) provides an exemption from registration when an issuer issues new securities in exchange for its own outstanding securities, such exchange is made only to existing security holders, no compensation or other remuneration is paid for soliciting such exchange offer, and the existing security holders are not asked to part with anything of value except the outstanding securities. Section 18(b)(4)(E) of the Securities Act provides, among other things,

- 24 -

that state securities laws will not apply to securities that are exempt from federal registration under section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. The Debtors do not have any contract, arrangement or understanding relating to, and did not, directly or indirectly, pay any commission or other remuneration to any broker, dealer, salesperson, agent or any other person for soliciting votes to accept or reject the Plan or for soliciting any exchange of the 2020 Notes, except for reasonable, actual and necessary out-of-pocket expenses of mailing. In addition, none of its financial advisors engaged to provide financial analysis and assist the Debtors with addressing the financial aspects of the restructuring and no broker, dealer, salesperson, agent, or any other person has been engaged or authorized to express any statement, opinion, recommendation, or judgment with respect to the relative merits and risks of the Solicitation or the Plan (and the transactions contemplated thereby).

b.The offering, issuance, and distribution of the securities contemplated by the Plan and any and all agreements incorporated therein after the Petition Date, including, but not limited to, the New Class A Units and the New Class B Units, shall be exempt from, among other things, the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act, and any other applicable state or federal law requiring registration or delivery of a prospectus prior to the offering, issuance, distribution, or sale of securities, pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code or pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

NN.New Governance Documents.

a.The New Governance Documents, as may be amended or modified without further approval from the Court in accordance with their terms and which shall be subject to and consistent with the Transaction Support Agreement and in form and substance acceptable to the Required Consenting Noteholders, are essential elements of the Plan, were proposed in good faith,

- 25 -

are critical to the success and feasibility of the Plan, are necessary and appropriate for the consummation of the Plan and shall be binding on the parties thereto. Entry into the New Governance Documents and all related agreements and documents, is fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, all holders of Claims and Interests, and the Reorganized Debtors. The New Governance Documents are the product of good faith, arm’s length negotiations.

b.The Debtors exercised reasonable business judgment in determining to enter into the New Governance Documents and have provided sufficient and adequate notice thereof.

OO.Injunction, Exculpation, and Releases.

a.The Court has jurisdiction under sections 157 and 1334(a) and (b) of Title 28 of the United States Code to approve the releases, exculpations, and injunctions set forth in Article VII of the Plan. Section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code permits issuance of the injunctions and approval of the releases and exculpations set forth in Article VII of the Plan.

b.The Released Parties played a meaningful role in the negotiation and development of the Plan and the restructuring transactions and settlements contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to, agreeing to settle disputes and Claims, contributing claims in exchange for their treatment under the Plan, supporting the Plan, foregoing asserting certain rights, and/or providing valuable consideration assuring recoveries for the Estates’ creditors and other stakeholders. The Released Parties made substantial contributions to the Debtors and their Estates and played an integral role in working towards the resolution of the Chapter 11 Cases. Accordingly, the release of potential claims belonging to the Debtors or the Estates pursuant to the Plan are part of a fair and a valid exercise of the Debtors’ business judgment, and the third-party

- 26 -

releases contemplated by Article VII of the Plan are consensual, fair, reasonable, and appropriate under the circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases.

c.The Exculpated Parties made substantial contributions to the Debtors and their Estates and played an integral role in formulating the Plan and working towards the resolution of the Chapter 11 Cases. Accordingly, the exculpations contemplated by Section 7.05 of the Plan are part of a fair and a valid exercise of the Debtors’ business judgment and are fair, reasonable, and appropriate under the circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases.

d.Based on the record before the Court, including, but not limited to, the evidence proffered, adduced, and/or presented at the Combined Hearing, which is reasonable, persuasive, and credible, utilizes reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions, and has not been controverted by other evidence, the release, exculpation, and injunction provisions set forth in the Plan (a) confer substantial benefit to the Estates, (b) are fair, equitable, reasonable, and necessary to the Debtors’ reorganization, (c) are in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, and parties in interest, (d) are supported by valuable consideration, (e) are given and made after notice and opportunity for a hearing, and (f) with respect to the third party releases contemplated by Section 7.03 of the Plan, shall not be binding on (i) any party to a Litigation Action, (ii) any Holder of Claims or Interests who did not vote to accept the Plan and affirmatively elected to “opt out” of being a Releasing Party, (iii) any Holder of Claim or Interests that is presumed to accept or reject the Plan and affirmatively elected to “opt out” of being a Releasing Party by timely filing with the Court on the docket of the Chapter 11 Cases an objection to the Third Party Release; provided, any Holder of Interests that did not vote to accept or reject the Plan and did not otherwise object to the Third Party Release by filing an objection thereto with the Bankruptcy Court shall not be a “Releasing Party.” Accordingly, the Court finds that the release,

- 27 -

exculpation, and injunction provisions set forth in the Plan (a) were proposed in good faith, are essential to the Plan, are appropriately tailored, and are intended to promote finality and prevent parties from attempting to circumvent the Plan’s terms, (b) are critical to the success of the Plan, and (c) are consistent with the Bankruptcy Code and applicable law. The release, exculpation, and injunction provisions in the Plan are therefore valid, enforceable and binding.

PP.Payment of Administrative Expense Claims and Priority Claims. Based on the evidence proffered, adduced, and/or presented by the Debtors at the Combined Hearing, the Plan provides for payment in full in Cash of all Allowed Administrative Expense Claims, Professional Fee Claims, Priority Tax Claims, and Other Priority Claims, as well as U.S. Trustee fees.

QQ.Retention of Jurisdiction. The Court may properly retain, and does hereby retain, jurisdiction over any matter arising under the Bankruptcy Code, or arising in, or related to, the Chapter 11 Cases or the Plan, after the Effective Date, and any other matter or proceeding that is within the Court’s jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1334 or 28 U.S.C. § 157; provided, however, that the Court shall not retain jurisdiction over disputes concerning documents contained in the Plan Supplement that have a jurisdictional, forum selection or dispute resolution clause that refers disputes to a different court, and any disputes concerning documents contained in the Plan Supplement that contain such clauses shall be governed in accordance with the provisions of such documents.

RR.Likelihood of Satisfaction of Conditions Precedent. Each of the conditions precedent to the Effective Date, as set forth in Section 8.02 of the Plan, has been satisfied or waived in accordance with the provisions of the Plan or is reasonably likely to be satisfied or waived prior to the Effective Date, as applicable.

- 28 -

SS.Good Faith. The Debtors, the Consenting Noteholders, and all of their respective managers, members, officers, directors, agents, financial advisors, attorneys, employees, equity holders, partners, affiliates and representatives will be acting in good faith if they proceed to consummate the Plan and the agreements, transactions, and transfers contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to, the entry into the New Governance Documents, which shall be consistent with the Governance Term Sheet and in form and substance acceptable to the Required Consenting Noteholders.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED THAT:

1.Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. The findings and conclusions set forth above and in the record of the Combined Hearing constitute the Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to Rule 52 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as made applicable herein by Bankruptcy Rules 7052 and 9014, and are incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein. To the extent that any finding of fact shall be determined to be a conclusion of law, it shall be deemed so, and vice versa.

2.Ballots. The forms of Ballots annexed to the Combined Hearing and Solicitation Motion and that were approved by the Combined Hearing and Solicitation Order comply with Bankruptcy Rule 3018(c), conform to Official Form Number 314, and are approved in all respects.

3.Tabulation Procedures. The procedures used for tabulations of votes to accept or reject the Plan as set forth in the Disclosure Statement, the Solicitation Procedures, the Tabulation Declaration, and the Ballots are approved.

4.Disclosure Statement. The Disclosure Statement (i) contains information of a kind generally consistent with the disclosure requirements of applicable non-bankruptcy law (including the Securities Act), (ii) 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,

- 29 -

the Plan, and the transactions contemplated therein, and (iii) is approved in all respects. Accordingly, the Disclosure Statement is hereby APPROVED as providing holders of Claims and Interests entitled to vote on the Plan with adequate information to make an informed decision as to whether to vote to accept or reject the Plan in accordance with section 1125(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

5.Confirmation. All requirements for the confirmation of the Plan have been satisfied. Accordingly, the Plan, in its entirety, is CONFIRMED pursuant to section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each of the terms and conditions of the Plan and the exhibits and schedules thereto, including, but not limited to, each document in the Plan Supplement, and any amendments, modifications, and supplements thereto, are an integral part of the Plan and are incorporated by reference into this Order. The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the Local Rules. A copy of the confirmed Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Once finalized and executed, the documents comprising the Plan Supplement and the Definitive Documents (each of which shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Required Consenting Noteholders) and all other documents contemplated by the Plan (which to the extent not constituting Definitive Documents shall otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Required Consenting Noteholders) shall, as applicable, constitute legal, valid, binding, and authorized obligations of the respective parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Plan and this Order.

6.Objections. All parties have had a fair opportunity to litigate all issues raised by the objections, or which might have been raised, and the objections have been fully and fairly litigated. All objections, responses, statements, reservation of rights, and comments in opposition to the Plan, other than those withdrawn with prejudice in their entirety, waived, settled, or resolved

- 30 -

prior to the Combined Hearing, or otherwise resolved on the record of the Combined Hearing and/or herein, are hereby overruled for the reasons stated on the record. The record of the Combined Hearing is hereby closed.

7.Plan Classification. The Court hereby holds that (a) the classifications of Claims and Interests under the Plan (i) are fair, reasonable, and appropriate and (ii) were not done for any improper purpose, (b) valid business, legal, and factual reasons exist for separately classifying the various Classes of Claims and Interests under the Plan, and (c) the creation of such Classes does not unfairly discriminate between or among holders of Claims or Interests.

8.Compromise of Controversies. In consideration for the Plan Distributions and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all claims and controversies incorporated in the Plan. The entry of this Order will constitute the Court’s approval, as of the Effective Date, of the compromise or settlement of all such claims or controversies and the Court’s finding that all such compromises or settlements are (a) in the best interest of the Debtors, the Estates, and their respective property and stakeholders and (b) fair, equitable and reasonable. Subject to Article VI of the Plan, all Plan Distributions made to holders of Allowed Claims and Interests are intended to be and shall be final.

9.Plan Transactions. All of the transactions contemplated by the Plan are hereby approved. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, are authorized (but not directed) to take all actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect any transaction described in, approved by, contemplated by, related to, or necessary to effectuate the Plan. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, this Order shall constitute (a) approval by the Court of the Restructuring Transactions, the New Governance Documents, and the issuance and distribution of the New Class A Units, and the New Class B Units, and (b) authorization (but not direction) for

- 31 -

the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, to enter into and execute, as applicable, the Restructuring Transactions and the New Governance Documents, and such other documents as may be required to effectuate, if applicable, the Restructuring Transactions or the issuance and distribution of the New Class A Units and the New Class B Units; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that such authorization shall be expressly subject to the conditions precedent to effectiveness set forth in Section 8.02 of the Plan or the waiver thereof, with the consent of the Required Consenting Noteholders, as set forth in Section 8.03 of the Plan.

10.Issuance and Distribution of the New Class A Units and New Class B Units; Reinstatement of Intercompany Claims and Interests. The issuance and distribution of the New Class A Units and New Class B Units, and reinstatement of the Intercompany Claims and Interests (as applicable), are essential elements of the Plan, are fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, and all holders of Claims, and are hereby approved. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, are authorized, without further approval of the Court or any other party (other than the consent rights of the Required Consenting Noteholders set forth in the Transaction Support Agreement, the Plan, or herein), to (a) issue and distribute the New Class A Units and New Class B Units, and reinstate the Intercompany Claims and Interests, in accordance with the Plan, (b) execute and deliver all agreements, documents, instruments, and certificates relating thereto, and (c) perform their obligations thereunder. On the Effective Date, Reorganized HoldCo and all Holders of the New Class A Units and New Class B Units then outstanding shall be deemed to be parties to, and thereby bound by, the New Governance Documents, substantially in the form contained in the Plan Supplement, without the need for execution by any such Holder. On the Effective Date, the New Governance Documents shall be

- 32 -

binding on the Reorganized Debtors and all parties receiving, and all Holders of, the New Class A Units and New Class B Units (whether or not a signatory thereto).

11.New Governance Documents. The New Governance Documents are essential elements of the Plan, and the New Governance Documents and the other related documents (as may be amended or modified without further approval from the Court in accordance with their terms) are fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, and all holders of Claims and Interests and are hereby approved. The Debtors have exercised reasonable business judgment in determining to implement and adopt the New Governance Documents and the other related documents, and have provided sufficient and adequate notice of the terms of the New Governance Documents. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, are authorized, without further approval of the Court or any other party (except as set forth herein), to (a) subject to the consent of the Required Consenting Noteholders, execute and deliver all agreements, documents, instruments, and certificates relating to the New Governance Documents, and to take such other actions as reasonably deemed necessary to institute the measures set forth therein and to ensure compliance with, among other things, applicable law, and (b) perform their obligations thereunder, including, but not limited to, the payment of all fees, indemnities, and expenses provided therein. The Debtors have complied in all respects, to the extent applicable to these Chapter 11 Cases, with section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.

12.Exemption from Registration. The offering, issuance, and distribution of the securities contemplated by the Plan and any and all agreements incorporated therein after the Petition Date, including, but not limited to, the New Class A Units and New Class B Units, shall be exempt from, among other things, the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act, and any other applicable state or federal law requiring registration

- 33 -

or delivery of a prospectus prior to the offering, issuance, distribution, or sale of securities, pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, any securities contemplated by the Plan and any and all agreements incorporated therein, including, but not limited to, the New Class A Units and New Class B Units, shall be subject to (a) if issued pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, the provisions of section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code relating to the definition of an underwriter in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, (b) compliance with any rules and regulations of the SEC, if any, applicable at the time of any future transfer of such securities or instruments, (c) the restrictions, if any, on the transferability of such securities and instruments, including, but not limited to, those set forth in the New Governance Documents, and (d) applicable regulatory approval, if any. DTC shall accept and conclusively rely upon the Plan and this Order in lieu of a legal opinion regarding whether any of the New Class A Units and New Class B Units is exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no entity (including, for the avoidance of doubt, DTC) 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 Class A Units and New Class B Units are exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services.

13.Section 1146 Exemption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the fullest extent permitted by section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the issuance, transfer, or exchange of a security, or the making or delivery of an instrument of transfer (whether from the Debtors to the Reorganized Debtors or to any other Person) under the Plan, may not be taxed under any law imposing a stamp tax or similar tax.

entitled to file, prosecute (or resolve), or otherwise assert or continue asserting any such rights, claims, demands, causes of action, and related rights against the Debtors and any third parties existing immediately before the Petition Date as to any Debtor or as of the Effective Date as to any non-Debtor, and with respect to any of the foregoing, whether legal, equitable or contractual, whether personal or general, regardless of whether any such Debtor or third party is an Exculpated Party or a Released Party under this Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, all defenses, claims, interests, rights, counterclaims and other equitable relief against Eddystone, including any objections to the standing of Eddystone with respect to any claims, demands, causes of action and related rights asserted by Eddystone, that existed immediately before the Petition Date shall not be released, extinguished, forgiven, compromised, discharged, exculpated, satisfied, enjoined, settled or otherwise impaired or adversely affected by the Plan, the Definitive Documents, this Order, and all such defenses, claims, interests, rights, counterclaims and other equitable relief may be asserted against Eddystone.

v.the automatic stay of Bankruptcy Code section 362(a) and the injunctions set forth in the Plan, if and to the extent applicable and nunc pro tunc to the Petition Date, if necessary, shall be deemed lifted without further order of the Bankruptcy Court, solely to permit: (i) claimants with valid workers’ compensation claims or with valid direct action claims against the Chubb Companies under applicable non-bankruptcy law to proceed with their claims; (ii) the Chubb Companies to administer, handle, defend, settle, and/or pay, in the ordinary course of business and without further order of this Bankruptcy Court, (1) workers’ compensation claims, (2) claims where a claimant asserts a direct claim against the Chubb Companies under applicable non-bankruptcy law, or an order has been entered by this Bankruptcy Court granting a claimant relief from the automatic stay or the injunction set forth in the Plan to proceed with its claim, (3) claims asserted against a non-Debtor affiliate/and or party regardless of whether a Debtor may also be, or is also alleged to be, liable therefor, (4) claims asserted against a non-Debtor affiliate and/or party regardless of whether the applicable Insurance Policy(ies) also provide(s) coverage to any of the Debtors, and (5) all costs in relation to each of the foregoing; (iii) subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Chubb Insurance-Related Contracts and to the extent permissible under applicable non-bankruptcy law, the Chubb Companies to draw against any or all of the collateral or security provided by or on behalf of the Debtors (or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable) at any time and to hold the proceeds thereof as security for the obligations of the Debtors (and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable) and/or apply such proceeds to the obligations of the Debtors

INTRODUCTION

Capitalized terms used in the Plan and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in Section 1.01 of the Plan or the Bankruptcy Code.

Each Debtor is a proponent of the Plan within the meaning of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. The classifications of Claims and Interests set forth in Article III of the Plan shall be deemed to apply separately with respect to each Plan proposed by each Debtor, as applicable. The Plan does not contemplate substantive consolidation of any of the Debtors. Reference is made to the Disclosure Statement for a discussion of the Debtors’ history, business, properties and operations, projections, risk factors, a summary and analysis of the Plan and certain related matters.

ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AGAINST THE DEBTORS, TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, ARE ENCOURAGED TO READ THE PLAN AND THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE VOTING TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN.

The authorizations and approvals contemplated by this Section 4.01 shall be effective notwithstanding any requirements under non-bankruptcy law.

- 29 -

Section 4.09Cancellation and Surrender of Instruments and Agreements

On the Effective Date, except for the purpose of evidencing a right to and allowing Holders of Claims and Interests to receive a distribution under the Plan or to the extent otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, (i) all rights of any Holder of Interests in the Debtors, including options or warrants to purchase Interests, or obligating the Debtors to issue, transfer or sell Interests in the Debtors, shall be cancelled; and (ii) all notes and indentures of the Debtors, including, without limitation, the 2020 Notes Indenture and the 2020 Notes, shall cease to be effective, and the 2020 Notes Trustee shall not have any continuing duties or obligations thereunder and shall be discharged; provided, however, and for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.09 shall not operate to cancel, discharge or otherwise modify or affect the OpCo 2025 Secured Notes Guaranty.

For the avoidance of any doubt, the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to assert its Charging Lien arising under and in accordance with the 2020 Notes Indenture and any ancillary document, instrument, or agreement to obtain payment of the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee Fees and Expenses, solely to the extent provided thereunder and under applicable law.

- 31 -

Subsequent to the performance by the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee, and its respective agents and professionals of their obligations pursuant to the Plan and Confirmation Order, the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee and its respective agents and professionals shall be relieved, discharged and forever released of all further duties and responsibilities (i) related to the 2020 Notes Indenture, and (ii) arising under the Plan and the Confirmation Order. The Reorganized Debtors shall reimburse the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee for any reasonable and documented fees and expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of its counsel and agents) incurred after the Effective Date solely in connection with the implementation of the Plan, including, but not limited to, making distributions pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan.

On and after the distribution on account of the Allowed 2020 Note Claims, the 2020 Notes shall be deemed to be worthless, and DTC shall draw down the relevant positions at the request of the 2020 Notes Trustee, as applicable, without any requirement of indemnification or security on the part of the Debtor or 2020 Notes Trustee.

Section 4.10Corporate Action

Upon the Effective Date, all actions contemplated by the Plan shall be deemed authorized and approved in all respects, including (i) to the extent undertaken, selection and appointment of the members of the Governing Body and officers of the Reorganized Debtors; (ii) adoption of or modification to the Existing Governance Documents, if required; (iii) the assumption or assumption and assignment, as applicable, of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; (iv) implementation of the Restructuring Transactions; and (v) all other actions contemplated by the Plan (whether to occur before, on or after the Effective Date). All matters provided for in the Plan involving the corporate structure of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, and any corporate action required by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors in connection with the Plan (including the grant of security interests set forth in the Plan) shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be in effect, without any requirement of further action by the security holders, the members of the Governing Body or officers of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors. 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 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

- 32 -

the Reorganized Debtors. The authorizations and approvals contemplated by this Section 4.10 shall be effective notwithstanding any requirements under nonbankruptcy law.

Section 4.11Section 1146 Exemption from Certain Taxes and Fees

To the fullest extent permitted by section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfers (whether from the Debtors to the Reorganized Debtors or to any other Person) of property under the Plan or pursuant to: (i) the issuance, reinstatement, distribution, transfer or exchange of any debt, Equity Security, or other interest in the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors; (ii) the Restructuring Transactions; (iii) the creation, modification, consolidation, assumption, termination, refinancing and/or recording of any mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest or the securing of additional indebtedness by such or other means; (iv) the making, assignment or recording of any lease or sublease; or (v) the making, delivery or recording of any deed or other instrument of transfer under, in furtherance of, or in connection with, the Plan, including any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or other instrument of transfer executed in connection with any transaction arising out of, contemplated by or in any way related to the Plan, shall not be subject to any stamp tax or similar tax, and upon entry of the Confirmation Order, the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents shall forego the collection of any such tax, recordation fee or governmental assessment and accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax, recordation fee or governmental assessment to the extent permitted by section 1146 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 4.12Preservation of Causes of Action

In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and except where such Causes of Action have been expressly released (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the Debtor Releases provided in Section 7.02 hereof), each of the Reorganized Debtors shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, and each of 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 the Causes of Action released by the Debtors pursuant to the releases and exculpations contained in the Plan, including in Article VII of the Plan, which shall be deemed released and waived by the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors as of the Effective Date. Each of the Reorganized Debtors may pursue such Causes of Action, as appropriate, in accordance with the best interests of such Reorganized Debtor. No Entity 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 them as any indication that any of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against them. Except with respect to Causes of Action as to which any of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors have released any Person or Entity on or before the Effective Date (including pursuant to the Debtor Releases), each of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan. Unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised or settled in the Plan or a Bankruptcy Court order, each of the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserves all Causes of Action for later adjudication, and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res

- 33 -

judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise) or laches, shall apply to such Causes of Action as a consequence of the Confirmation or Consummation. Each of 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the Effective Date, all Avoidance Actions shall be released by any of the Debtors and shall not vest in any of the Reorganized Debtors.

Holders of Allowed Claims may assert such Claims against the Debtors and such Claims shall be entitled to share in the recovery provided for the applicable Class of Claims against the Debtors based upon the full Allowed amount of the Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case shall the aggregate value of all property received or retained under the Plan on account of Allowed Claims exceed 100% of the underlying Allowed Claim plus applicable interest.

ARTICLE V

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

Section 5.01Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

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) pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date, unless such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease: (i) was previously assumed or rejected by a Debtor, pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court; (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms; (iii) is the subject of a motion to reject filed on or before the Effective Date; or (iv) is identified on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List. Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute a Bankruptcy Court order approving the assumptions, assumptions and assignments, or rejections of such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases as set forth in the Plan and the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List, as applicable, pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Unless otherwise indicated, all assumptions or assumptions and assignments 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 Reorganized Debtors in accordance with its terms, except as such terms may have been modified by such order or the provisions of the Plan. All assumed Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases shall be enforceable by the Reorganized Debtors or such party such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease was assigned to in accordance with their terms notwithstanding any provision in such contract or lease that prohibits, restricts or conditions assumption, assignment or transfer. 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 any of the

- 34 -

Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors or assignee, as applicable, based on the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases or the financial condition of any of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall be unenforceable. To the extent any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed, or assumed and assigned, pursuant to the Plan (including any “change of control” provision) restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, any of the Debtors’ assumption, or assumption and assignment, of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, then such provision will be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan will 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. After the Effective Date, each of the Reorganized Debtors shall have the right to terminate, amend or modify any contracts, including intercompany contracts, leases or other agreements without approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Debtors, or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve the right to alter, amend, modify, or supplement the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List at any time through and including thirty days after the Effective Date.

Section 5.02Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases

Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute a Bankruptcy Court order approving the rejections, if any, of any Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases as provided for in the Plan or the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List, as applicable. Unless otherwise provided by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, all proofs of claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, pursuant to the Plan or the Confirmation Order, if any, must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on the Reorganized Debtors no later than thirty days after the effective date of such rejection.

Any Claims arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease not filed with the Solicitation Agent within such time shall not be enforceable against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Estates, or their property, without the need for any objection by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, or further notice to, action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other Entity, and any Claim arising out of the rejection of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged, and be subject to the permanent injunction set forth in Section 7.06 of the Plan, notwithstanding anything in a proof of claim to the contrary.

All Claims arising from the rejection by any Debtor of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, not filed within the time set forth above, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be treated as a General Unsecured Claim pursuant to Section 3.04 of the Plan and may be objected to in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules.

Section 5.03

Cure of Defaults and Objections to Cure Amounts and Assumption for Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Assumed

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

- 35 -

shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the default amount in Cash upon the Effective Date or in the ordinary course of business, subject to the limitation described below, or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases may otherwise agree. In the Plan Supplement, which shall be filed fourteen (14) days prior to the Confirmation Hearing as provided in the Combined Hearing and Solicitation Order, the Debtors shall provide notices of proposed cure amounts (if any) to counterparties 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 the Plan and setting forth the proposed cure amount (if any) or the Reorganized Debtors’ ability to provide “adequate assurance of future performance thereunder” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code). 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 on the confirmation objection deadline or other deadline that may be set by the Bankruptcy Court. 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. 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.

The payment of the cure amount shall be made following the entry of a Final Order or orders resolving the dispute and approving the assumption 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 under the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed; or (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption.

The Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall be authorized to reject any executory contract or unexpired lease to the extent the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, in the exercise of its sound business judgment, concludes that the amount of the Cure obligation as determined by Final Order or as otherwise finally resolved, renders assumption of such contract or lease unfavorable to the applicable Debtor’s Estate or the Reorganized Debtor. Such rejected contracts, if any, shall be deemed as listed on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List.

- 36 -

Section 5.04

Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements or Other Agreements

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or specifically provided in the Plan Supplement, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated under the Plan. Modifications, amendments, supplements and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by any of 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.

Section 5.05Reservation of Rights

Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List, nor anything contained in the Plan or Plan Supplement shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such 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, the relevant Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall have thirty (30) calendar days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease, including by rejecting such contract or lease nunc pro tunc to the Confirmation Date. The deemed assumption provided for herein shall not apply to any such contract or lease, and any such contract or lease shall be assumed or rejected only upon motion of the Debtors following the Bankruptcy Court’s determination that the contract is executory or the lease is unexpired.

Section 5.06Contracts and Leases Entered Into After the Petition Date

Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any of the Debtors, including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by any Debtor (or assumed and assigned, as applicable), will be performed by such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, or the Entity to which such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease was assigned, as applicable, 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 except as otherwise provided in the Plan.

Section 5.07Assumption of Insurance Policies

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, including any provision that purports to be preemptory or supervening, the Insurance Policies (including all of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies) are hereby treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan and, on the Effective Date, shall be deemed assumed (and assigned to the Reorganized Debtors) under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and will re-vest in the Reorganized Debtors. Regardless of whether any Insurance Policy is an Executory Contract, on and after the Effective Date, the Insurance

- 37 -

Policies will remain valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms and shall not be impaired by the Plan or Confirmation Order, and the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or any such assignee, as applicable, and the Insurers will perform their respective obligations to one another, if any, under the Insurance Policies. After the Effective Date, to the extent consistent with applicable law and New Governance Documents, the Reorganized Debtors (or any such assignee) may increase, reduce, restrict, or otherwise modify, in their sole discretion, the coverage under any D&O Liability Insurance Policy (including such tail coverage liability insurance) in effect as of the Effective Date, and all members, managers, directors, and officers of each of the Debtors who served in such capacity at any time prior to the Effective Date shall be entitled to the full benefits of any such policy for the full term of such policy (and all tail coverage related thereto) regardless of whether such members, managers, directors, and/or officers remain in such positions after the Effective Date.

Nothing in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, the Disclosure Statement, the Confirmation Order, or any other order of the Bankruptcy Court (including any other provision that purports to be preemptory or supervening), (1) alters, modifies, or otherwise amends the terms and conditions of (or the coverage provided by) any of such insurance policies or (2) alters or modifies the duty, if any, that the insurers or third party administrators pay claims covered by such insurance policies and their right to seek payment or reimbursement from the Debtors (or after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors) or draw on any collateral or security therefor. For the avoidance of doubt, insurers and third party administrators shall not need to nor be required to file or serve a cure objection or a request, application, claim, proof of claim, or motion for payment and shall not be subject to any claims bar date or similar deadline governing cure amounts or Claims.

Section 5.08Assumption of the Employee Compensation and Benefits Program

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan (or the Plan Supplement), the Confirmation Order or any other order of the Bankruptcy Court in the Chapter 11 Cases, all Intercompany Claims arising from employment agreements, severance policies, indemnification agreements, compensation and benefit plans, policies, and programs of the Company including, without limitation, all workers’ compensation programs, savings plans, retirement plans, deferred compensation plans, SERP plans, rabbi trusts, healthcare plans, disability plans, severance benefit plans, incentive plans, life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance plans or other agreements with or applicable to any of its current or former employees, retirees, members of any Governing Body, officers or managers of the Debtors, to the extent allocable to HoldCo, shall be Reinstated under the Plan, subject to the consent rights set forth in the Transaction Support Agreement and Section 1.07 of the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, 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.

Section 5.09Indemnification Obligations

Consistent with applicable law, all indemnification provisions and obligations in place as of the Effective Date (whether in the by-laws, trust agreements, certificates of incorporation or formation, limited liability company agreements, limited partnership agreements, other

- 38 -

governance documents, board resolutions, indemnification agreements, employment contracts or otherwise) for the current and former members of any Governing Body, directors, officers, managers, employees, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers and other professionals of, or acting on behalf of, any of the Debtors, as applicable, shall be reinstated and remain intact, and shall survive the Effective Date on terms no less favorable to such current and former members of any Governing Body, directors, officers, managers, employees, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, and other professionals of, or acting on behalf of, any of the Debtors than the indemnification provisions in place prior to the Effective Date.

Section 5.10Nonoccurrence 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, if any, pursuant to section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

ARTICLE VI

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 6.01Record Date for Distributions

With respect to Impaired Claims, on the Distribution Record Date, the Claims Register and the various transfer registers for each of the Classes of Claims, as maintained by the Debtors or their agents, shall be deemed closed, and there shall be no further changes made to reflect any new record holders of any Claims. The Debtors shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of Claims occurring on or after the Distribution Record Date.

Section 6.02Timing of Distributions

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, on the Effective Date (or if a Claim or Interest is not an Allowed Claim or Interest on the Effective Date, on the date that such a Claim or Interest becomes an Allowed Claim or Interest, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter), each Holder of an Allowed Claim against or an Allowed Interest in the Debtors shall receive the full amount of the distributions that the Plan provides for such an Allowed Claim or such an Allowed Interest in the applicable Class and in the manner provided herein. In the event that any payment or act under the Plan is required to be made or performed on a date that is not a Business Day, then the making of such payment or the performance of such act may be completed on the next succeeding Business Day, but shall be deemed to have been completed as of the required date. Except as otherwise provided herein, Holders of Claims shall not be entitled to interest, dividends or accruals on the distributions provided for herein, regardless of whether such distributions are delivered on or at any time after the Effective Date.

Section 6.03Disbursing Agent

The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors may retain a Disbursing Agent to assist with the distributions to be made under the Plan as directed by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors. The Disbursing Agent shall make all distributions required under the Plan.

- 39 -

(i)

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.

(ii)

Expenses Incurred On or After the Effective Date

Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the amount of any reasonable fees and out of pocket expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent on or after the Effective Date (including taxes) and any reasonable compensation and out of pocket expense reimbursement claims (including reasonable, actual, and documented attorney and/or other professional fees and expenses) made by the Disbursing Agent shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors. The Disbursing Agents shall submit detailed invoices to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, for all fees and expenses for which the Disbursing Agent seeks reimbursement, and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall pay those amounts that they deem reasonable, and shall object in writing to those fees and expenses, if any, that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, deem to be unreasonable. In the event that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, object to all or any portion of the amounts requested to be reimbursed in a Disbursing Agent’s invoice, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and such Disbursing Agent shall endeavor, in good faith, to reach mutual agreement on the amount of the appropriate payment of such disputed fees and/or expenses. In the event that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and a Disbursing Agent are unable to resolve any differences regarding disputed fees or expenses, either party shall be authorized to move to have such dispute heard by the Bankruptcy Court.

(iii)

Distributions on Account of 2020 Note Claims

Subject to the 2020 Notes Trustee’s Charging Lien and priority of payment rights, distributions on account of Allowed 2020 Notes Claims shall be made by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or Disbursing Agent, as applicable, to or at the direction of the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee. If a distribution is made to the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee, the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as Disbursing Agent, shall administer the distributions in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the 2020 Notes Indenture and the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee shall be compensated in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the 2020 Notes Indenture, provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to impair, waive or extinguish any rights of the 2020 Indenture Trustee with respect to the Charging Lien.

Subject to the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee’s Charging Lien and priority of payment rights, distributions of the New Class B Units are anticipated to be made through the facilities of DTC in accordance with DTC’s customary practices; provided, that such new Class B Units are issued in accordance with DTC book-entry procedures. For the avoidance of doubt, DTC shall be considered a single Holder for purposes of distributions. The 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee shall

- 40 -

transfer or direct the transfer of such distributions through the facilities of DTC. The 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes under the Plan with Holders of the 2020 Notes Claims to the extent consistent with the customary practices of DTC, and all distributions to be made to Holders of 2020 Notes Claims shall be delivered to the 2020 Notes Trustee in a form that is eligible to be distributed through the facilities of DTC.

At the election of the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee, in its sole discretion, the 2020 Indenture Trustee may require, as a condition to receiving any distribution under the Plan, the Holder of a 2020 Notes Claim that is evidenced by a certificate, instrument, or note to surrender such Holder’s certificate, instrument, or note representing such 2020 Notes Claim to the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Section 6.03(iii) of the Plan. Upon surrender of such certificates, the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee shall cancel and the certificates shall be destroyed in accordance with the record retention policy of the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee. If the record holder of a note is DTC or its nominee or another securities depository or custodian thereof, and such note is represented by a global security held by or on behalf of DTC or such other securities depository or custodian, then the beneficial holder of such note shall be deemed to have surrendered such Holder’s security, note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness upon surrender of such global security by DTC or such other securities depository or custodian thereof. To the extent that the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee requires the surrender of certificates, a Holder of a 2020 Notes Claim evidenced by such certificate may not receive a distribution unless and until (a) such certificates, notes, or other instruments are surrendered, or (b) any relevant Holder provides to the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee an affidavit of loss or such other documents as may be required by the Reorganized Debtors together with an appropriate indemnity in the customary form. Any such Holder who holds physical certificates and fails to surrender such certificates, notes, or other instruments, or otherwise fails to deliver an affidavit of loss and indemnity within three (3) months of the Effective Date, shall be deemed to have no further 2020 Notes Claim and shall not participate in any distribution, and the distribution that would otherwise have been made to such Holder shall be distributed Pro Rata to all Holders who held a Claim pursuant to the 2020 Notes Indenture and complied with the foregoing requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions regarding surrender of the certificates evidencing a 2020 Notes Claim shall only apply in circumstances in which physical certificates evidencing such claims have been issued and the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee elects to require such surrender by issuing a notice to Holders of 2020 Notes Claims seeking surrender of such certificates. If such election is made, the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee shall only be required to use its best effort to obtain the surrender of the certificates.

Subject to the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee’s Charging Lien and priority of payment rights, the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee, acting as disbursing agent, shall only be required to act and make distributions in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the 2020 Notes Indenture and shall have no (i) liability for actions taken in accordance with the Plan or in reliance upon information provided to it in accordance with the Plan or (ii) obligation or liability for distributions under the Plan to any party who does not hold a Claim against the Debtors as of the Record Date or who does not otherwise comply with the terms of the Plan. To the extent the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee provides services or incurs costs or expenses on or after the Effective Date, including professional fees, related to or in connection with the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or the 2020 Notes Indenture (as applicable), including, without limitation, in connection with making

- 41 -

distributions to Holders of 2020 Notes Claims under the Plan, the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive from the Reorganized Debtors, without further Bankruptcy Court approval, payment, in Cash, as reasonable compensation for such services and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such services. Upon presentation of a summary invoice, payment of such compensation and expenses will be made as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case within ten (10) days following the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee’s notification to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, of the amount of such costs or expenses. Upon final administration of the distributions made to the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Plan and the 2020 Notes Indenture, the 2020 Notes Indenture Trustee shall be discharged from any further responsibility under the Plan.

(iv)

Distributions on Account of Existing LP Units

On the Effective Date, the New Class A Units shall be, to the extent necessary, distributed by the Disbursing Agent to the Entities entitled to receive or retain the New Class A Units pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Plan, the New Governance Documents, the Transaction Support Agreement and the Transaction Term Sheet. On or prior to the Effective Date, the issuance of the New Class A Units shall be duly authorized without the need for any further corporate action and without any action by the Holders of Claims or other parties in interest. All of the New Common A Units (including the New Class A Units issuable upon the conversion of the New Class B Units) shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable when issued in accordance with the terms of such instruments.

Section 6.04Delivery of Distributions and Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims or Allowed Interests shall be made to Holders of record as of the Distribution Record Date by the Disbursing Agent: (i) to the signatory set forth on any proof of claim or proof of interest filed by such Holder or other representative identified therein (or at the last known addresses of such Holder if no proof of claim or proof of interest is filed or if the Debtors have not been notified in writing of a change of address); (ii) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Reorganized Debtors or the applicable Disbursing Agent, as appropriate, after the date of any related proof of claim or proof of interest; or (iii) on any counsel that has appeared in the Chapter 11 Cases on the Holder’s behalf.. Distributions under the Plan on account of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests shall not be subject to levy, garnishment, attachment or like legal process, so that each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest shall have and receive the benefit of the distributions in the manner set forth in the Plan. None of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and the applicable Disbursing Agent shall incur any liability whatsoever on account of any distributions under the Plan except for fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.

Section 6.05Fractional Distributions

Whenever any payment of a fraction pursuant to the Plan would otherwise be required, the actual payment shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole share (up or down), with half or less being rounded down. Whenever any payment of Cash of a fraction of a dollar

- 42 -

pursuant to the Plan would otherwise be required, the actual payment shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar (up or down), with half dollars or less being rounded down.

Section 6.06Undeliverable Distributions and Unclaimed Property

In the event that any distribution to any Holder of Claim or Interest 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 as soon as practicable after such distribution has become deliverable or has been claimed to such Holder without interest; provided, however, that such distributions shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and forfeited at the expiration of six months from the applicable Distribution Date. After such date, all “unclaimed property” or interests in property shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors (notwithstanding any applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned or unclaimed property laws to the contrary), and the Claim of any Holder to such property or Interest in property shall be discharged and forever barred. Notwithstanding the foregoing under of the Plan, any Unimpaired Claims shall not be deemed settled, satisfied, resolved, released, discharged, barred or enjoined by any provision of the Plan, unless and until such Unimpaired Claim has been either (a) paid in full (i) on terms agreed to between the holder of such Unimpaired Claim and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, (ii) in the Allowed amount of such Unimpaired Claim as determined by applicable law or (iii) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable documentation or laws giving rise to such Unimpaired Claim or (b) otherwise satisfied or disposed of as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. If the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors dispute any Unimpaired Claim, such dispute shall be determined, resolved or adjudicated pursuant to applicable non-bankruptcy law.

Section 6.07Manner of Payment

At the option of the Disbursing Agent, any Cash payment to be made under the Plan may be made by check or wire transfer or as otherwise required or provided in applicable agreements

Section 6.08Compliance with Tax Requirements and Allocations

In connection with the Plan and all instruments issued in connection therewith, to the extent applicable, the Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any federal, state or local taxing authority, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent 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 determine in good faith are reasonable and appropriate. The Reorganized Debtors reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments,

- 43 -

alimony, child support, other spousal awards, Liens, and encumbrances. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts withheld pursuant to this Section 6.08 shall be treated as if distributed to the Holder of the Allowed Claim.

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, the Reorganized Debtors and their respective property.

Section 6.09Allocation Between Principal and Interest

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, distributions shall be allocated first to the principal amount of such Allowed Claims (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), with any excess allocated to unpaid interest that accrued on such Claims.

Section 6.10Setoffs and Recoupment

Except with respect to the Allowed Claims in Class 4, and as otherwise provided in the Plan and Confirmation Order, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors may, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (including section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code), applicable non-bankruptcy law, or as may be agreed to by the Holder of a Claim, withhold (but not set off except as set forth in the Plan) from the distributions called for under the Plan on account of any Allowed Claim an amount equal to any claims, equity interests, rights and Causes of Action of any nature that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may hold against the Holder of any such Allowed Claim or Interest. In the event that any such claims, equity interests, rights and Causes of Action of any nature that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may hold against the holder of any such Allowed Claim or Interest are adjudicated by Final Order or otherwise resolved, the Debtors may, pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law, set off against any Allowed Claim or Interest and the distributions to be made pursuant hereto on account of such Allowed Claim (before any distribution is made on account of such Allowed Claim or Interest) the amount of any adjudicated or resolved claims, equity interests, rights and Causes of Action of any nature that any of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may hold against the Holder of any such Allowed Claim or Interest, but only to the extent of such adjudicated or resolved amount. Neither the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim under the Plan shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors of any such claims, equity interests, rights and Causes of Action that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may possess against any such holder, except as specifically provided herein.

Section 6.11No Postpetition or Default Interest on Claims

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, or required by applicable bankruptcy or non-bankruptcy law, postpetition and/or default interest shall

- 44 -

not accrue or be paid on any prepetition Claims against any of the Debtors, and no Holder of a prepetition Claim against any of the Debtors shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date or interest at the contract default rate on any such prepetition Claim.
