3.3. Class 2: Allowed Secured Claim of AppleJack. Debtor a21 is indebted to AppleJack in the principal amount of $400,000 plus accrued interest and costs secured by a lien on a21’s accounts receivable, inventory, contract rights, general intangibles, furniture, equipment and certain other collateral. The Debtors shall pay AppleJack $375,000, in Cash, as soon as practical after the Effective Date.
3.4. Class 3: Allowed Secured Claim of ArtSelect Noteholders. ArtSelect is indebted to the ArtSelect Noteholders in the principal amount of $2,400,000 plus accrued interest and costs, which is secured by substantially all the assets of ArtSelect, provided that, with respect to up to $3,000,000 of the assets of ArtSelect, the notes are junior to the Senior Notes.

3.5. Class 4: Allowed Secured Claim of Landlord. The land and building in Jacksonville, Florida with the Debtors’ corporate offices were previously sold to Landlord and leased back by SuperStock in a transaction which the Debtors accounted for under GAAP as a financing transaction but which the Landlord and state law consider to be a sale. The Debtors provided the Landlord with a lease deposit of $750,000 pursuant to a letter of credit issued by Bank of America which was secured by a $750,000 certificate of deposit at Bank of America. The Debtors subleased a significant portion of the Jacksonville building. The Debtors recognize the Landlord as holding an Allowed Secured Claim in the amount of the $750,000 deposit and as of the Effective Date, Debtors release and waive any claim to the Landlord’s security deposit (including the certificate of deposit at Bank of America up to the amount of the letter of credit drawn by the Landlord) and to any ownership interest in the Jacksonville building. The Debtors will attempt to negotiate with Landlord a mutually acceptable short-term arrangement after the Effective Date to permit the Debtors to continue to use a portion of the Jacksonville space on a temporary basis to complete the wind-up of the Debtors’ affairs. If the Landlord desires to assume the sublease on an “as is, where is” basis, and the Landlord provides written notice to Debtors and Subtenant of its intent to assume the sublease on or before the Effective Date, then Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed and assigned to Landlord all the Debtors’ rights under the sublease. If Landlord does not provide such written notice of assumption of the sublease, the sublease shall be deemed rejected pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Plan. The Landlord shall also be entitled to an Allowed Unsecured Claim in the amount of Landlord’s total unpaid rent claim, subject to the Bankruptcy Code Section 502(b)(6) cap on rent claims, less the amount received by Landlord from the deposit. 3.6. Class 5: Allowed Secured Claim of Senior Noteholders. Debtors are indebted to the Senior Noteholders in the principal amount of $15,500,000 plus accrued interest and costs, which is secured by a lien on substantially all the Debtors assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, contract rights, general intangibles, equipment and certain other collateral. The Debtors shall pay to the Senior Noteholders, in Cash, as soon as practical after the Effective Date, for Pro Rata payment to the holders of the Senior Notes, the net proceeds received from the sales of the ArtSelect Business Assets, the SuperStock Business Assets and the UK shares as well as all cash on hand, less (a) all other payments to Allowed Administrative Expenses, Allowed Secured Claims, Allowed Priority Claims and Allowed Unsecured Claims provided for in the Plan, (b) the Distribution Reserve and (c) the Winddown Fund. After the Effective Date, the Debtors, after consultation with the Senior Noteholders Agent, shall use good faith efforts: (i) to collect the Debtors’ remaining accounts receivable, (ii) to sell the Debtors’ remaining furniture, office and computer equipment and other assets, (iii) to return the Photographer’s Original Artwork as provided in Section 6.1 of the Plan, (iv) to prepare and file the final tax return, and (v) to terminate the Debtors’ 401(k) plan. After paying the reasonable costs associated with such activities, the Debtors shall distribute all remaining net Cash to the Secured Noteholders Pro Rata, in one or more installment payments. After the Effective Date and after payments of the Allowed Administrative Expense, Allowed Secured Claims, Allowed Priority Claims and Allowed Unsecured Claims, as provided in the Plan, the Debtors shall be fully protected in reliance upon consent from the Senior Noteholders Agent without further Bankruptcy Court approval. If the Senior Noteholders Agent has concerns or issues regarding Debtors final handling of the wind-up of the Debtors’ affairs, the Senior Noteholders Agent may apply to the Bankruptcy Court for orders directing the Debtors’ conduct, in which case the Bankruptcy Court shall accord substantial deference to the business judgment of the Senior Noteholders Agent because the Senior Noteholders have all residual interest in all remaining assets and funds of the Debtors. 3.7. Class 6: Other Allowed Secured Claims. The Debtors do not anticipate any other Allowed Secured Claims. In the event any other Allowed Secured Claims exist, such claims shall be paid in full, in Cash, as soon as practical after the Effective Date except to the extent the holder of an other Allowed Secured Claim agrees to a different treatment. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, a Claim shall not be permitted as an other Allowed Secured Claim unless its lien is superior as to an item of collateral to all the liens of AppleJack, ArtSelect Noteholders, Secured Noteholders and/or Landlord. The amount of any other Allowed Secured Claim shall not exceed the current, fair market value of the secured creditors’ interest in the collateral, subject to all prior liens and encumbrances. The Debtors reserve the right, in lieu of a Cash payment to the holder of such other Allowed Secured Claim, to surrender the collateral to the Creditor in full satisfaction of such other Allowed Secured Claim.
3.8. Class 7: Allowed Priority Claims. All Allowed Priority Claims, including all Allowed Priority Tax Claims shall be paid in full, in Cash, as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, except to the extent that the holder of an Allowed Priority Claim agrees to a different treatment.
3.9. Class 8: Allowed Unsecured Claims. The Debtors shall pay $125,000, in Cash, as soon as practical after the Effective Date, for Pro Rata distribution to the Allowed Unsecured Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purpose of convenience, no payment of less than $20 shall be paid to the holders of a general unsecured claim unless the creditor specifically requests that the payment be made by written notice to Debtors before the Effective Date, provided that the amount otherwise payable to such creditor shall remain available for distribution to other Allowed Unsecured Claims so that the entire $125,000 is actually paid to unsecured creditors. AppleJack, the ArtSelect Noteholders and the Senior Noteholders shall not participate as general unsecured creditors with respect to their deficiency claims.
3.10. Classes 9, 10 and 11: Equity Interests. Equity Interests (Classes 9, 10 and 11) shall receive no distribution. In light of the very modest distribution under the Plan to unsecured creditors, estimated to be less than 5%, a distribution to equity interestholders would be inconsistent with the general rule that creditors be paid before shareholders. Upon the Effective Date, all Equity Interests (Classes 9, 10 and 11), including without limitation all stock of a21 and all options and warrants to acquire stock of a21, shall be canceled and the a21 shall have no shareholders.
3.11. Class 12: Claims of UK Subsidiaries. Claims by the Debtors’ UK subsidiaries, including SuperStock Ltd. and Ingram, shall receive no distribution.
ARTICLE 4.
PROVISIONS FOR TREATMENT OF DISPUTED, CONTINGENT
AND UNLIQUIDATED ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES AND CLAIMS
4.1. Characterizations of Claims as Disputed. Pursuant to Section 1111 of the Bankruptcy Code, evidence of a Claim is deemed filed under Section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code if that Claim is included in the Schedules, except if the Claim is scheduled as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated. Such a disputed, contingent, or unliquidated Claim must be asserted by its holder by the timely filing of a proof of Claim. If a proof of Claim is not filed in a timely manner, the Claim will be deemed allowed in the amount set forth on the Schedules of the Debtors. The Debtors and any other interested party shall have the authority to object to and contest the allowance of any Claim filed with the Bankruptcy Court, whether or not such Claim was scheduled as disputed, contingent or unliquidated, which objection must be filed with the Court no later than twenty-one (21) days following the claims bar date as established by court order or the Bankruptcy Rules.
4.2. Reserve for Disputed Administrative Expenses and Disputed Claims. In determining the amounts of distributions to be made to holders of Allowed Claims, the appropriate Pro Rata calculations required by the Plan (i) shall be made as if all Disputed Claims were Allowed Claims and all Disputed Administrative Expenses were Allowed Administrative Expenses, in the full amount claimed by the holders thereof and (ii) shall include an appropriate estimate for Administrative Expenses that have not been Allowed at the time of such distribution but which are not likely to be disputed, including potential post-confirmation professional fees. Distributions for holders of Disputed Administrative Expenses and Disputed Claims and estimated potential future Administrative Expenses shall be deposited by the Debtors in one or more separate accounts (collectively, the “Distribution Reserve”), which shall be held in trust for the benefit of holders of Disputed Administrative Expenses and Disputed Claims and potential future Administrative Expenses pending determination of the entitlement thereto.
At such time as a Disputed Administrative Expense or Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Administrative Expense or Allowed Claim, respectively, the Distribution Reserved for such Administrative Expense or Claim shall be released from the Distribution Reserve and delivered by the Debtors to the holder of such Allowed Administrative Expense or Allowed Claim. In the event any disputed Administrative Expense or Disputed Claim is disallowed, funds held in the Distribution Reserve on account of those disallowed Administrative Expenses or Claims shall be retained pending final disposition of all disputed Administrative Expenses and Disputed Claims and upon resolution of all such Disputed Administrative Expenses and Disputed Claims, such funds shall be distributed by the Debtors Pro Rata to holders of Senior Notes in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, the Debtors shall make a distribution on the undisputed portion of an Allowed Administrative Expense and an Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.
4.3. Resolution of Contested Administrative Expenses, Claims and Equity Interests.
4.3.1 Objections. Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, after notice and a hearing, the Debtors shall have the right to make and file objections to Administrative Expenses and Claims and shall serve a copy of each objection upon the holder of the Administrative Expense or Claim to which the objection is made, as soon as practicable, but no later than twenty-one (21) days after the later of (i) the claims bar date or (ii) the date such Administrative Expense application or proof of claim with respect to a Claim is filed.
4.3.2 Prosecution of Objections. The Debtors shall litigate to judgment, settle, or withdraw objections to Administrative Expenses and Claims.
ARTICLE 5.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN
5.1. Liquidating Plan; the Auction. The Plan is a liquidating plan. All property of the Debtors shall be liquidated.
The Debtors have entered into the ArtSelect Purchase Agreement with the ArtSelect Buyer for the sale of substantially all the assets and business of the ArtSelect (excluding Cash, accounts receivable, certain claims and certain other excluded assets) free and clear of all liabilities, liens and encumbrances (except liabilities specifically assumed under the ArtSelect Purchase Agreement) for a Cash payment of $700,000 (subject to the terms, conditions and adjustments as set forth in the ArtSelect Purchase Agreement). The sale to the ArtSelect Buyer pursuant to the ArtSelect Purchase Agreement is subject to a higher and better bid being accepted by, the Debtors at the Auction.
The Debtors have entered into the Base SuperStock Agreement with the SuperStock Buyer for the sale of the SuperStock owned photography library, URL address and certain other assets related to the SuperStock business and certain executory contracts to be assumed by the SuperStock Buyer (excluding Cash, accounts receivable, certain claims and certain other excluded assets and excluding the UK Subsidiary Shares) free and clear of all liabilities, liens and encumbrances (except liabilities specifically assumed under the SuperStock Purchase Agreement) for a Cash payment of $1,500,000 (subject to the terms, conditions and adjustments as set forth in the SuperStock Purchase Agreement). (Under the terms of the SuperStock Base Contract, the Debtors will pay up to $500,000 of cure payments on assumed contracts, which would reduce the net proceeds available to the Debtors.) The sale to the SuperStock Buyer pursuant to the SuperStock Purchase Agreement is subject to a higher and better bid being accepted by the Debtors at the Auction.
The Debtors have unsuccessfully tried to locate a buyer for the stock of SuperStock Ltd., the Debtors’ UK Subsidiary, free and clear of all liabilities, lien and encumbrances. SuperStock Ltd. is a holding company which sells products under several brand names, including Ingram Publishing, the Debtors’ primary operating subsidiary in the United Kingdom. Accordingly, the sale of the stock of SuperStock Ltd. effectively transfers control of the Ingram Publishing subsidiary. (The Base SuperStock Agreement provides for SuperStock to transfer the “SuperStock” trade name and “SuperStock” web address in the United Kingdom to the purchaser of the SuperStock assets, but these rights belong to SuperStock by virtue of SuperStock’s ownership of the “SuperStock” trade name and related intellectual property rights. However, the potential purchaser of the stock of the UK Subsidiary will not indirectly receive control over the “SuperStock” trade name and website address in the UK.). Prior to the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors will attempt to sign a UK Subsidiary Purchase Agreement. If the Debtors secure a proposed buyer with a signed UK Subsidiary Purchase Agreement, the Debtors will conduct an auction for the stock of SuperStock Ltd. The sale to the UK Subsidiary Buyer pursuant to the UK Subsidiary Purchase Agreement is subject to a higher and better bid being accepted by the Debtors at the Auction.
At the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors shall ask the Bankruptcy Court to give potential purchasers, who have satisfied the Debtors’ bid deposit requirement and Bidding Procedures4, including submission of a qualified bid before the Bid Deadline established in the Bid Procedures (Potential purchasers should be aware that the Bid Deadline is several days prior to the Auction), the right to purchase the ArtSelect Business Assets, the SuperStock Business Assets and/or the UK Subsidiary Stock. Bidders interested in the SuperStock Assets but also wishing to acquire executory contracts with photographers pursuant to which SuperStock represents the photographers as agent and/or assume the lease of the Jacksonville office should understand that under Bankruptcy Code Section 365, the Debtors must cure any existing defaults under their contracts before they can be assigned to the buyer. Therefore, the relative value of the Bidder’s proposal must be reduced by the cost of curing such contracts and leases, subject to the Debtors’ business judgment regarding which proposal is superior from the perspective of the Debtors’ estate, taking into account the total amount of net proceeds, after payment of the cure amount, for distribution to creditors under the Plan. In the event the Bankruptcy Court declines to conduct the Auction at the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors shall announce in open court at the hearing, the time and place of the Auction, which shall be scheduled as promptly as convenient following the Confirmation Hearing. In the event the Auction is not conducted by the Bankruptcy Court, the Auction shall be conducted by the Debtors or the Debtors’ counsel.
The Debtors expressly reserve the right and privilege of promulgating reasonable rules and procedures for conducting the Auction, including rules regarding posting a pre-bid deposit and posting of a deposit by the successful bidder following the Auction. In addition, the Debtors reserve the right to reject a bid if the Debtors conclude, acting in their good faith business judgment, that the bid is not made in good faith, the bidder is unlikely to close as required by the Purchase Agreement, or such rejection is otherwise in the best interest of the estate and the creditors.
At the outset of the cases, the Debtors filed motions with the Bankruptcy Court seeking to sell the ArtSelect Assets and the SuperStock Assets and seeking Court approval of the related bidding rules and break-up fees. The Debtors believe it is in the best interest of the creditors to hold the Auctions and close the sales as soon as possible. In the event that the Debtors are successful in conducting the Auctions prior to the Confirmation Hearing, then this Plan is deemed modified to the extent the Auctions will have already occurred prior to confirmation of the Plan.
At least one of the sales shall close before the Effective Date. The Purchasers shall acquire the assets free and clear of all liabilities, liens and encumbrances, except for liabilities which the Purchasers expressly agree to assume pursuant to the Purchase Agreements. Except for the liabilities specifically assumed in the Purchase Agreement signed by the successful bidder, the purchaser shall not assume or be obligated to pay any debt, lien, expense or liability of the Debtors.
The Plan does not contemplate the continued operation of the Debtors, merger, or consolidation of the Debtors with one or more Persons or the transfer of all or any part of the Estate to any entity, except in satisfaction of an Allowed Administrative Expense or Allowed Claim or as a distribution or partial distribution pursuant to the Plan.
5.2. Procedure If One or More Sales Fail to Close. In the event that one or more of the proposed sales do not close, but the Debtors close one or more of the sales and collect aggregate sale proceeds of not less than $2,000,000, then implementation of the Plan shall proceed and the funds shall be distributed as provided in the Plan. In the event that one or more of the proposed sales do not close but the Debtors close one or more sales and collect aggregate sale proceeds of less than $2,000,000, if funds are sufficient to make all payments provided under the Plan to all creditors other than the Senior Noteholders, then with the written consent of the Senior Noteholders Agent the implementation of the Plan shall proceed and the funds shall be distributed as provided in the Plan. In the latter case, if the Senior Noteholders Agent does not consent, the case shall be converted to a proceeding under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, the sales which closed shall be valid for all respects pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court orders entered under Section 365 of the Code and the purchaser shall be entitled to such benefit, but this Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation shall be null and void and the Effective Date shall not have occurred.
5.3. Optional Schedule of Proposed Distribution. In connection with making the distribution to unsecured creditors under the Plan, the Debtors, in their discretion, may, but shall not be required to, file a Schedule of the Proposed Distribution which lists the amounts proposed to be sent to each unsecured creditor and post a copy of the Schedule of Proposed Distribution on the Debtors’ Internet website, http://www.a21group.com/bank.html and serve such Schedule on the U.S. Trustee and any interested party who has specifically requested copies of such Schedule of Proposed Distribution by written notice to the Debtors. In the event no objection to the proposed distribution to unsecured creditors is filed in the Bankruptcy Court and served on the Debtors and U.S. Trustee, within twenty (20) days from the filing of such Schedule of Proposed Distribution, the Debtors may conclusively rely on the correctness of the information set forth therein.
5.4. Activities; Winddown. The Debtors shall retain $50,000 as a winddown fund to pay the reasonable costs and expenses of preparing the final tax returns, and reasonable and necessary post-Effective Date expenses related to the “shut down” of the Debtors, the collection of any outstanding remaining accounts receivable and the sale or disposition of any remaining assets (the “Winddown Fund”). Any excess funds left in the Winddown Fund shall be paid, Pro Rata, to the Senior Noteholders after the shutdown of the Company is complete, to be distributed in accordance with the Plan.

5.5.3 Manner of Payment under the Plan. Any payment made by the Debtors pursuant to the Plan shall be made in Cash by check drawn on a domestic bank or by wire transfer from a domestic bank at the option of the Debtors.

On behalf of the Estate, the Debtors may, but shall not be required to, set off against any Claim and the payments to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of such Claim, or claims of any nature whatsoever the Debtors may have against the claimant, but neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Estate of any such claim the Debtors may have against such Claimant.
5.5.6 Distributions under Twenty Dollars. No distributions of less that $20.00 shall be made by the Debtors to any Creditor unless a request therefor is made in writing to the Debtors prior to the Effective Date.
5.5.7 Saturday, Sunday, or Legal Holiday.

ARTICLE 6.
MISCELLANEOUS POST-CONFIRMATION MATTERS
6.1. Return of Photographers’ Original Artwork. SuperStock has physical custody of original slides, photographs and other artwork belonging to approximately 1,200 photographers for whom SuperStock acts as agent. To the extent that SuperStock’s contracts with these photographers are not assigned and sold to the purchaser of the SuperStock business pursuant to the Action of the SuperStock business, the Debtors shall use good faith efforts to mail a notice to the photographers advising them that SuperStock has been liquidated pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and that all original artwork remaining in SuperStock’s possession will be destroyed unless within twenty days of the notice the photographer notifies SuperStock in writing that the photographer requests the return of the original artwork and the photographer sends SuperStock $50 to pay the cost of shipping and handling.
6.2. Liquidation of Miscellaneous Furniture and Equipment. After the Effective Date, the Debtors shall be authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of all remaining office furniture, computer equipment and other assets free and clear of all liens and encumbrances on such terms as the Debtors, after consultation with the Secured Noteholders Agent, deem appropriate, without the need of further Court approval.

6.5. Debtors’ Release of Preference Claims. The Debtors will not pursue any preference claims pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 547.
6.6. Collection of Accounts Receivable.

ARTICLE 7.
CLASSES OF CLAIMS AND EQUITY
INTERESTS IMPAIRED UNDER THE PLAN
7.1. Impaired Classes. Classes 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 are impaired under the Plan.
7.2. Unimpaired Classes. Classes 4, 6 and 7 are unimpaired under the Plan.

Classes 9, 10, 11 and 12 are impaired and are deemed not to have accepted the Plan in accordance with Section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code.
