SECTION 5. | MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION. |
5.1.Substantive Consolidation for Plan Purposes Only.
(a) The Plan contemplates and is predicated upon the deemed substantive consolidation of the Debtors for the purpose of all actions under the Plan. Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute approval pursuant to section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, effective as of the Effective Date, of the substantive consolidation of the Chapter 11 Cases of the Debtors solely for purposes of voting, confirmation and distribution.
(b) Solely for voting, confirmation and distribution purposes hereunder, and subject to Section 5.1(c), (i) all assets and all liabilities of the Debtors shall be treated as though they were merged, (ii) all guarantees by any of the Debtors of the obligations of any other Debtor arising prior to the Effective Date shall be deemed eliminated and cancelled so that any Claim against any Debtor and any guarantee thereof executed by any other Debtor and any joint and several liability of any of the Debtors shall be deemed to be one obligation of the deemed consolidated Debtors, (iii) all joint obligations of two or more of the Debtors and all multiple Claims against such entities on account of such joint obligations, shall be considered a single Claim against the Debtors, and (iv) each and every Claim filed or to be filed in the Chapter 11 Cases of the Debtors shall be deemed filed against the deemed consolidated Debtors and shall be deemed a single Claim filed and obligation of the deemed consolidated Debtors.
(c) The substantive consolidation effected pursuant to this section shall not affect (other than for purposes related to funding distributions under the Plan and as set forth herein) (i) the legal and organizational structure of the Debtors, (ii) the making of distributions in accordance with, and the implementation of, the Restructuring Transactions (including, without limitation, distributions to holders of Allowed 7.5% Convertible Bonds Claims in respect of the holders’ guarantee claims against EIC), (iii) defenses to any causes of action or requirements for any third party to establish mutuality to assert a right of setoff , (iv) distributions out of any insurance policies or proceeds of such policies and (v) the indebtedness or other obligations of the Debtors under the EEUK Term Loan.
19
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Intercompany Claims shall be dealt with in accordance with Section 5.9 of the Plan.
(e) The Debtors believe that no creditor will receive a recovery materially inferior to that which it would receive if the Debtors’ Estates were not deemed substantively consolidated, and that in such event, all creditor recoveries would be reduced by the added administrative expense of proceeding to confirm and implement separate plans. If any party in interest challenges the proposed substantive consolidation, the Debtors reserve the right to establish at the Confirmation Hearing the ability to confirm the Plan on an entity-by-entity basis, or to make the showing that the Debtors can be substantively consolidated under applicable law. If the Bankruptcy Court does not approve the substantive consolidation requested herein as to any or all of the Debtors, the Debtors reserve the right to seek confirmation of this Plan on a non-substantive consolidation basis with respect to each affected Debtor.
(f) A creditor’s vote to accept the Plan shall be deemed such creditor’s agreement to accept, as consideration for any and all Allowed Claims against any and all Debtors, the treatment specified in the Plan, including, without limitation, the substantive consolidation described herein and, in the event the Bankruptcy Court does not approve the substantive consolidation of all or certain of the Debtors that is requested herein, the treatment of such creditor’s Claim pursuant to the Plan on a non-substantive consolidation basis.
(g) Notwithstanding the deemed substantive consolidation proposed herein, each and every Debtor shall remain responsible for the payment of quarterly fees to the Office of the U.S. Trustee in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Plan.
5.2.Compromise and Settlement of Claims and Controversies.
Pursuant to sections 363 and 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall constitute a good faith compromise of all Claims and controversies relating to the contractual, legal and subordination rights that a holder of a Claim may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or any distribution to be made on account of such Allowed Claim. The entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the compromise or settlement of all such Claims and controversies, including without limitation, approval of the Restructuring Support Agreement, as well as a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that such compromise or settlement is in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates and holders of Claims and is fair, equitable, and reasonable.
5.3.Nonconsensual Confirmation.
In the event any Impaired Class of Claims entitled to vote on the Plan does not accept the Plan by the requisite statutory majority under section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, then the Debtors reserve the right to undertake to have the Bankruptcy Court confirm the Plan under section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.
5.4.Cancellation of Existing Securities and Agreements.
(a) Except for executory contracts and unexpired leases that have been assumed by the Debtors, on the Effective Date and in accordance with the Restructuring Transactions, all
20
of the agreements and other documents evidencing (i) the Claims or rights of any holder of a Claim against the Debtors, including all notes, indentures, instruments or certificates evidencing such Claims, (ii) the Interests in EIC and (iii) any options or warrants to purchase Interests in EIC, or obligating such Debtors to issue, transfer or sell Interests or any other capital stock of such Debtors, shall be amended, restated, substituted for or cancelled, as the case may be, other than for purposes of evidencing a right to distributions under the Plan with respect to executory contracts or unexpired leases which have not been assumed by the Debtors or as otherwise provided hereunder,provided,however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the EEUK Term Loan.
(b) As between each other, the cancellation of the Indentures pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall not alter or otherwise affect the obligations or rights of the Indenture Trustees or the actual or beneficial holders of the applicable Notes under their applicable Indentures;provided,however, that only the following rights and obligations of the Indenture Trustees shall remain in effect as of the Effective Date: (i) rights, as trustee and collateral agent, to any payment of fees, expenses and indemnification obligations and liens securing such rights to payment, including, but not limited to, the Indenture Trustee Charging Liens, (ii) rights and obligations relating to distributions to be made under the Plan on account of Allowed Notes Claims and Indenture Trustee Claims, (iii) rights and obligations relating to representation of the interests of the holders of Allowed Notes Claims by such Indenture Trustees in these Chapter 11 Cases to the extent not released or discharged by this Plan or any order of the Bankruptcy Court and (iv) rights and obligations relating to Indenture Trustee Claims and participation by such Indenture Trustees in any proceedings and appeals related to this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Indenture Trustees shall have any obligation to object to Claims against the Debtors. After the performance by the Indenture Trustees and their respective representatives and professionals of any duties that are required under this Plan, the Confirmation Order or the applicable Indenture Documents, the Indenture Trustees and their representatives and professionals shall be relieved of and released from all obligations arising thereunder.

The Reorganized Debtors and the persons and entities granted such Liens and security interests are authorized to make all filings and recordings, and to obtain all governmental approvals and consents necessary to establish and perfect such Liens and security interests under the provisions of the applicable state, provincial, federal, or other law (whether domestic or foreign) that would be applicable in the absence of the Plan and Confirmation Order, and will thereafter cooperate to make all other filings and recordings that otherwise would be necessary under applicable law to give notice of such Liens and security interests to third parties.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein with respect to Class 2, any Lien securing any Secured Claim shall be deemed released, and the holder of such Secured Claim (and any agent or representative on such holder’s behalf) shall be authorized and directed to release any collateral or other property of the Debtors (including any Cash collateral) held by such holder and to take such actions as may be requested by the Reorganized Debtors, to evidence the release of such Lien, including the execution, delivery and filing or recording of such releases as may be requested by the Reorganized Debtors;provided,however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the Liens granted to the EEUK Term Loan Lenders and the EEUK Term Loan Prepetition Agent pursuant to the EEUK Term Loan.
5.11.Withholding and Reporting Requirements.
In connection with this Plan and all instruments issued in connection therewith and distributed thereon, the Debtors shall comply with all applicable withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state or local taxing authority, and all distributions under this Plan shall be subject to any such withholding or reporting requirements. In the case of a non-Cash distribution that is subject to withholding, the distributing party may withhold an appropriate portion of such distributed property and sell such withheld property to generate Cash necessary to pay over the withholding tax. Any amounts withheld pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been distributed to and received by the applicable recipient for all purposes of the Plan. Notwithstanding the above, each holder of an Allowed Claim that is to receive a distribution under this Plan shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed on such holder by any Governmental Unit, including income, withholding and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution. The Debtors have the right, but not the obligation, to not make a distribution until such holder has made arrangements satisfactory to any issuing or disbursing party for payment of any such tax obligations. The Debtors may require, as a condition to receipt of a distribution, that the holder of an Allowed Claim complete and return a Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable to each such holder.

Without limiting the foregoing, any issuance, transfer or exchange of a security or any making or delivery of an instrument of transfer pursuant to the Plan shall be exempt from the imposition and payment of any and all transfer taxes (including, without limitation, any and all stamp taxes or similar taxes and any interest, penalties and addition to the tax that may be required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the Plan) pursuant to sections 1146(a), 505(a), 106 and 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code.

No fractional shares of New Preferred Stock and New Common Stock shall be issued or distributed under the Plan and no Cash shall be distributed in lieu of such fractional shares. When any distribution pursuant to the Plan on account of an Allowed Claim would otherwise result in the issuance of a number of shares of New Preferred Stock or New Common Stock that is not a whole number, the actual distribution of shares of New Preferred Stock or New Common Stock shall be rounded as follows: (a) fractions of one-half ( 1⁄2) or greater shall be rounded to the next higher whole number and (b) fractions of less than one-half ( 1⁄2) shall be rounded to the next lower whole number with no further payment therefor. The total number of authorized shares of New Preferred Stock and New Common Stock to be distributed to holders of Allowed Claims shall be adjusted as necessary to account for the foregoing rounding. The New Notes shall be issued in denominations of $2,000 or multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof and any other amounts shall be rounded down.

Except insofar as a Claim is Allowed under the Plan, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or any other party in interest shall be entitled to object to Claims. Any objections to Claims shall be served and filed on or before (a) the one-hundred and twentieth (120th) day following the later of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the date that a proof of Claim is filed or amended or a Claim is otherwise asserted or amended in writing by or on behalf of a holder of such Claim, or (b) such later date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court.
7.2.Estimation of Claims.
The Reorganized Debtors may at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any contingent, unliquidated or Disputed Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (so long as the Bankruptcy Court has not already overruled an objection to such Disputed Claim filed by the Debtors), and the Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim, including, without limitation, during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent, unliquidated or Disputed Claim, the amount so estimated shall constitute either the Allowed amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on such Claim, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court. If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on the amount of such Claim, the Reorganized Debtors may pursue supplementary proceedings to object to the allowance of such Claim. All of the aforementioned objection, estimation and resolution procedures are intended to be cumulative and not exclusive of one another. Claims may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
7.3.No Distributions Pending Allowance.
If an objection to a Claim is filed as set forth in Section 7.1, no payment or distribution provided under the Plan shall be made on account of such Claim unless and until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.
7.4.Distributions After Allowance.
To the extent that a Disputed Claim ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim, distributions (if any) shall be made to the holder of such Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. As soon as practicable after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing any Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order, the Disbursing Agent shall provide to the holder of such Claim the distribution (if any) to which such holder is entitled under the Plan as of the Effective Date, without any interest to be paid on account of such Claim unless required under applicable bankruptcy law.
7.5.Preservation of Claims and Rights to Settle Claims.
Except as otherwise provided herein, or in any contract, instrument, release, indenture, or other agreement or document entered into in connection with this Plan, in accordance with section

SECTION 8. | EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES. |
8.1.General Treatment.
Effective as of the Effective Date, all executory contracts and unexpired leases to which any of the Debtors are parties are hereby assumed, except for an executory contract or unexpired lease that (a) has previously been assumed or rejected pursuant to Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (b) is specifically designated as a contract or lease to be rejected on a schedule of contracts and leases filed and served prior to commencement of the Confirmation Hearing, (c) is the subject of a separate (i) assumption motion filed by the Debtors or (ii) rejection motion filed by the Debtors under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code before the Confirmation Date, or (d) is the subject of a pending objection regarding assumption, cure, “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) or other issues related to assumption of the contract or lease (a “Cure Dispute”).
8.2.Determination of Cure Disputes and Deemed Consent.
Following the Petition Date, the Debtors shall have served a notice on parties to executory contracts or unexpired leases to be assumed reflecting the Debtors’ intention to assume the contract or lease in connection with this Plan and, where applicable, setting forth the proposed cure amount (if any). The proposed cure amount for any executory contract or unexpired lease not listed on the schedule shall be $0. Any such schedule of executory contracts to be assumed and the proposed cure amounts contained therein shall be reasonably acceptable to the Debtors and the Requisite Creditors.
To the extent that an objection to assumption, cure, “adequate assurance of future performance” or other issues related to assumption of the contract or lease was filed within fifteen (15) days of service of notice of intent to assume or reject, and properly served on the Debtors with respect to the assumption of any contract or lease, then any Cure Dispute that was not scheduled for a hearing by the Bankruptcy Court on or before the date of the Confirmation Hearing shall be scheduled for a later date as may be determined by the Bankruptcy Court. Following resolution of a Cure Dispute by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, the contract or lease shall be deemed assumed effective as of the Effective Date,provided,however, that the Debtors reserve the right to reject any such contract or lease following entry of a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court resolving any such Cure Dispute, by filing a notice indicating such rejection within three (3) Business Days of the entry of such Final Order.
8.3.Payment of Cure and Effect of Assumption of Contracts and Leases.
Subject to resolution of any Cure Dispute, any monetary amounts by which any executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed hereunder is in default shall be satisfied, under section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by the Debtors upon assumption thereof.
To the extent that an objection was not timely filed and properly served on the Debtors with respect to the assumption of a contract or lease, then the counterparty to such contract or lease shall
29
be deemed to have assented to (a) the Cure amount proposed by the Debtors and (b) the assumption of the applicable executory contract or unexpired lease, notwithstanding any provision of such contract that (i) prohibits, restricts or conditions the transfer or assignment of such contract or (ii) terminates or permits the termination of a contract as a result of any direct or indirect transfer or assignment of the rights of the Debtor under such contract or a change in the ownership or control of EIC contemplated by the Plan, and shall forever be barred and enjoined from asserting such objection against the Debtors or terminated or modifying such contract on account of transactions contemplated by the Plan.
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, subject to satisfaction of the Cure, 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 assumption. Any proofs 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 Bankruptcy Court or any other entity
8.4.Rejection Claims.
In the event that the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease by any of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan results in damages to the other party or parties to such contract or lease, a Claim for such damages, if not heretofore evidenced by a timely filed proof of claim, shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, or their respective properties or interests in property as agents, successors or assigns, unless a proof of claim is filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served upon counsel for the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors no later than thirty (30) days after (a) the date of entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court approving such rejection, or (b) the date of the filing of a notice by the Debtors after the Effective Date indicating such rejection in accordance with Section 8.2 hereof. The Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the rejection of all the leases and contracts identified in the schedule of rejected contracts.
8.5.Survival of the Debtors’ Indemnification Obligations.
Any obligations of the Debtors pursuant to their corporate charters, bylaws or other organizational documents to indemnify current and former officers, directors, agents and/or employees with respect to all present and future actions or omissions, suits and proceedings against the Debtors or such directors, officers, agents and/or employees, based upon any act or omission occurring at or prior to the Effective Date for or on behalf of the Debtors shall not be discharged or impaired by confirmation of the Plan provided that the Reorganized Debtors shall indemnify directors of the Debtors for any Claims or Causes of Action to the fullest extent provided by law pursuant to their respective Amended Organizational Documents. All such obligations shall be deemed and treated as executory contracts to be assumed by the Debtors under the Plan and shall continue as obligations of the Reorganized Debtors. Any claim based on the Debtors’ obligations herein shall not be a Disputed Claim or subject to any objection in either case by reason of section 502(e)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code.
In addition, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall not terminate or otherwise reduce the coverage under any directors’ and officers’ insurance policies (including any “tail policy”) in effect as of Petition Date, and all directors and officers of the Debtors who served in such capacity at any time before the Effective Date shall be entitled to the full benefits of any such policy for the full term of such policy regardless of whether such directors and/or officers remain in such positions after the Effective Date.
30
8.6.Survival of Other Employment Arrangements.
Subject to the reasonable consent of the Requisite Creditors, and except and to the extent previously assumed or rejected by an order of the Bankruptcy Court entered on or before the Effective Date or included as part of a schedule of contracts or leases to be rejected, all employee compensation and benefit plans entered into before or after the Petition Date and not since terminated shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as if they were, executory contracts to be assumed pursuant to the Plan. The Debtors’ obligations under such plans and programs shall survive confirmation of the Plan, except for (a) executory contracts or employee benefit plans specifically rejected pursuant to the Plan (to the extent such rejection does not violate section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code) and (b) such executory contracts or employee benefit plans as have previously been rejected, are the subject of a motion to reject as of the Effective Date, or have been specifically waived by the beneficiaries of any employee benefit plan or contract. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.6 to the contrary, any equity incentive plans of any of the Debtors, and any stock option, restricted stock or other equity agreements and any stock appreciation rights or similar equity incentives or equity based incentives or other obligations or liabilities the value of which depend on the price of, or distributions paid with respect to, equity securities, shall be cancelled as of the Effective Date and the Debtors shall have no liability or responsibility in respect of such equity interests.
8.7.Insurance Policies.
All insurance policies pursuant to which the Debtors have any obligations in effect as of the date of the Confirmation Order shall be deemed and treated as executory contracts pursuant to the Plan and shall be assumed by the respective Debtors and Reorganized Debtors and shall continue in full force and effect. All other insurance policies shall revest in the Reorganized Debtors.
8.8.Workers’ Compensation Programs.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, as of the Effective Date, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall continue to honor their obligations under (a) all applicable workers’ compensation laws in states in which the Reorganized Debtors operate and (b) the Debtors’ written contracts, agreements, agreements of indemnity, self-insurer workers’ compensation bonds and any other policies, programs and plans regarding or relating to workers’ compensation and workers’ compensation insurance. All such contracts and agreements are treated as executory contracts under the Plan and on the Effective Date will be assumed pursuant to the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, with a cure amount of zero.
8.9.Reservation of Rights.
Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any contract or lease by the Debtors on any exhibit, schedule or other annex to the Plan or in the Plan Supplement, nor anything contained in the Plan, will constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is or is not in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors or their respective Affiliates have any liability thereunder.
Nothing in the Plan will waive, excuse, limit, diminish or otherwise alter any of the defenses, Claims, Causes of Action or other rights of the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors under any executory or non executory contract or any unexpired or expired lease.
31
Nothing in the Plan will increase, augment or add to any of the duties, obligations, responsibilities or liabilities of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors under any executory or non executory contract or any unexpired or expired lease.
