Enivel, Inc. (“Enivel”), Cleaners Club Acquisition Sub, Inc. (“CCI”), Steam Press Holdings, Inc. (“Steam Press”), U.S. Dry Cleaning Services Corporation dba U. S. Dry Cleaning Corporation (“USDC”), USDC Fresno, Inc. (“Fresno 1”), USDC Fresno 2, Inc. (“Fresno 2”), USDC Portsmouth, Inc. (“Portsmouth”), and USDC Tuchman Indiana, Inc. (“Tuchman”) are debtors (each a “Debtor” and collectively, the “Debtors”) in eight jointly administered Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases.2 On March 4, 2010, the Debtors commenced their bankruptcy cases by filing Voluntary Petitions under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”). This document is the Debtors’ Joint and Consolidated Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization Dated January 3, 2011 (the “Plan”). Concurrently with the filing of this Plan, the Debtors have filed their Disclosure Statement Describing Debtors’ Joint And Consolidated Chapter 11 Plan Of Reorganization Dated January 3, 2011 (the “Disclosure Statement”). Please be advised that this Plan should be read in conjunction with the [approved] Disclosure Statement, and that there are disclosures and information provided in the Disclosure Statement which are not included in this Plan.
The effective date (the “Effective Date”) of the Plan will be the first business day after the Confirmation Date, provided the Bankruptcy Court has waived the provisions of Bankruptcy Rule 3020(e) and no stay of the Confirmation Order is in effect.3 The Debtors following the Effective Date shall be referred to as the “Reorganized Debtor.”
This Plan provides for the Debtors’ emergence from their Chapter 11 Cases4 as one consolidated entity under USDC, which the Debtors anticipate will occur in March 2011. Under the Plan, the Debtors will satisfy their debt and other Claims as set forth in Article III below, provide a recovery for Equity Security Holders, and implement a recapitalization with $12 million of new capital. The Plan described below has been designed to position the Reorganized Debtor to succeed.
2 Unless expressly stated otherwise, any reference herein to the “docket” shall refer to the docket of Enivel, Inc., Bankruptcy Case No. 8:10-bk-12735-RK, as all eight bankruptcy cases are jointly administered under “Enivel, Inc.”
3 On or before January 6, 2011, the Debtors intend to file their motion seeking to substantively consolidate the eight administratively consolidated cases for all purposes upon the Effective Date of the Plan.
4 Any capitalized term not yet defined will be defined in Article II of this Plan.
Currently, USDC is a public company and the parent company of the remaining Subsidiary Debtors. After Confirmation of the Plan, the Reorganized Debtor will remain a public company. The Reorganized Debtor will own and operate the dry cleaning stores which are currently owned collectively by the Debtors. It is anticipated that there will be seventy-one (71) dry cleaning stores and three (3) processing plants existing on the Effective Date. The Reorganized Debtor will also continue its strategy to: (a) acquire market-dominant dry cleaning chains; (b) add retail services and revenue lines to upgrade its stores into full service garment care centers; (c) improve margins and operations through converting the stores to its hub-and-spoke model; (d) create a national brand; and (e) refranchise the stores under the national brand. In furtherance of this strategy, the Reorganized Debtor will pursue the Subsequent Public Offering.

III. CLASSIFICATION AND TREATMENT OF CLAIMS
AND INTERESTS UNDER THE PLAN
A. | What Creditors and Interest Holders Will Receive Under this Plan |
As required by the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan classifies Claims and Interests in various Classes according to their right to priority. The Plan states whether each Class of Claims or Interests is impaired or unimpaired. The Plan provides the treatment each Class will receive.
Certain types of Claims are not placed into voting Classes; instead they are unclassified. They are not considered impaired and they do not vote on the Plan because they are automatically entitled to specific treatment provided for them in the Bankruptcy Code. As such, the Debtors have not placed the following Claims in a Class.
1. Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses are Claims for costs or expenses of administering the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases which are allowed under Bankruptcy Code Section 507(a)(1). Allowed Administrative Claims representing post-Petition Date liabilities incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of their business shall be paid in full in accordance with the terms and conditions of the particular transaction giving rise to such liabilities and any agreements relating thereto. The Bankruptcy Code requires that all Administrative Claims be paid on the Effective Date unless a particular Claimant agrees to a different treatment. While the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases remain open, the Reorganized Debtor will continue to (i) file with the United States Trustee monthly operating reports; and (ii) timely pay fees incurred pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a)(6).
The following chart lists all of the Debtors’ § 507(a)(1) administrative claims and their treatment under this Plan.
Name | | Amount Owed5 | | Treatment |
| | | | |
Clerk's Office Fees | | $0 (Estimate) | | Paid in full on the Effective Date by the Reorganized Debtor |
| | | | |
Office of the U.S. Trustee Fees | | $0 (Estimate) | | Paid in full on the Effective Date by the Reorganized Debtor |
| | | | |
Wolf, Rifkin, Shapiro, Schulman & Rabkin, LLP, bankruptcy counsel to the Debtors | | Approximately $400,000 in addition to the post-petition retainer and monthly fee payments paid by the Debtors | | Paid in full by the Reorganized Debtor on the later of the Effective Date and the date the Court enters an order allowing such fees and expenses. |
| | | | |
INTL Provident Group, the Debtors’ investment banker | | Approximately $1 million pursuant to the Exit Financing and Provident’s employment agreement | | Paid in full on the later of (i) the Effective Date, or (ii) the closing of the Exit Financing. |
| | | | |
C.T. Moffitt & Company and Charles T. Moffitt, the Debtors’ financial advisors and Chief Restructuring Officer | | Approximately $200,000 | | Paid in full by the Reorganized Debtor on the later of the Effective Date and the date the Court enters an order allowing such fees and expenses. |
| | | | |
Fulbright & Jaworski, LLP, the Debtors’ special corporate and securities counsel. | | Approximately $100,000 | | Paid in full by the Reorganized Debtor on the later of the Effective Date and the date the Court enters an order allowing such fees and expenses. |
| | | | |
Duane Morris LLP, counsel to the Committee | | Approximately $450,000 | | Paid in full by the Reorganized Debtor on the later of the Effective Date and the date the Court enters an order allowing such fees and expenses. |
5 The amounts set forth in this chart are estimates of the administrative claim amount that the Debtors believe each Administrative Claimant will be entitled to on the Effective Date. The amounts set forth in this chart are subject to change. The Debtors believe that some of the Professional Fees will either be reduced by objection thereto or by voluntary reduction, or that Professionals will take one –half of their fees in New Common Stock at the Discounted Stock Price. The Debtors reserve their right to object to each of these Administrative Claims.
Name | | | | Treatment |
| | | | |
Winthrop Couchot, LLP (“Winthrop”), the Debtors’ former bankruptcy counsel | | $150,000 (already holding $94,000) | | Winthrop alleges it is owed in excess of $400,000. Pre-petition and post-petition, Winthrop has been paid $162,500 and has refused to turn over $94,000 in cash collateral that it is holding at the Gamet Parties’ request and pursuant to Bankruptcy Court order. The Debtors intend on commencing a turnover action against Winthrop, and the Debtors reserve all claims, including professional negligence, against Winthrop Couchot. As such, the Debtors will request that the Court disallow this disputed Administrative Claim. However, in an abundance of caution, the Debtors have estimated an amount of $150,000 for this disputed Creditor, of which $94,000 is already in its possession. This Claim is Disputed – the Debtors Intend to Object Prior to Plan Confirmation. |
| | | | |
Brian Weiss, former Chief Restructuring Officer | | $24,000 | | The Debtors and Mr. Weiss have reached an agreement pursuant to which Mr. Weiss will be entitled to a $24,000 Administrative Claim against these Estates. This Claim will be paid in seven (7) equal installments once Bankruptcy Court approval of the agreement is obtained. |
| | | | |
Setal Entities | | $786,000 | | Payment in full by the Reorganized Debtor on the Effective Date. This amount is subject to change as it based on the $1 million DIP Loan. As of December 31, 2010, the outstanding balance on the DIP Loan is $786,000. |
| | | | |
TOTAL | | $2.6 million est. (see Footnote 5) | | Paid in the manner described above |
Court Approval of Fees Required:
The Bankruptcy Court must approve all Professional fees and expenses listed in this chart before they may be paid. For all Professional fees and expenses except fees owing to the Clerk of the Court and fees owing to the Office of the United States Trustee (the “OUST”), the Professional in question must file and serve a properly noticed fee application and the Court must rule on the application, unless payment of such fees and expenses has previously been approved by this Court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 328(a). Only the amount of fees and expenses allowed by the Court will be required to be paid under the Plan. The Administrative Claim amounts set forth above for Professional fees and expenses simply represent the Debtors’ best estimate as to the amount of Allowed Administrative Claims for Professional fees and expenses in these Cases, making the assumption that the Debtors make all of the post-petition Professional fee monthly payments that the Debtors are authorized to make pursuant to the Court approved budget and related orders. The actual Administrative Claims for Professional fees and expenses may be higher or lower. By voting to accept the Plan, Creditors are not acknowledging the validity of, or consenting to the amount of, any of these Administrative Claims for Professional fees and expenses, and Creditors are not waiving any of their rights to object to the allowance of any of these Administrative Claims for Professional fees and expenses. Also, the Professionals employed in these Cases may, prior to the Effective Date, seek Court approval of interim fees and expenses incurred in excess of the post-petition Professional fee monthly payments received by such Professionals. To the extent any such interim fees and expenses are allowed by the Bankruptcy Court and paid by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date, that will reduce the amount of Professional fees and expenses to be paid by the Reorganized Debtor.
The last day to file Chapter 11 Administrative Claims (except for ordinary post-petition operating obligations and Professional fees and expenses) is thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. Administrative expenses will be paid on the later of the Effective Date or 14 days after the entry of a non-appealable order allowing the Administrative expense, unless the administrative Claimant has consented otherwise in writing. Post-petition trade Claims incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of their business shall be paid according to ordinary trade terms in the absence of an express agreement to the contrary.
The figures set forth above are just estimates of what the Debtors anticipate will be the ultimate allowed amount of such Administrative Claims in these Cases. The actual Administrative Claims could be higher or lower depending upon a number of factors to be resolved in these Cases. Moreover, the Debtors reserve the right to review and, if appropriate, object to any requests for allowance of administrative expense Claims, including fee applications of all Professionals.
2. Priority Tax Claims
Priority Tax Claims include certain unsecured income, employment and other taxes described by Section 507(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code not secured by a lien in the Debtors’ assets. The Bankruptcy Code requires that each holder of such a Section 507(a)(8) Priority Tax claim receive the present value of such Claim in deferred Cash payments (i) of a total value, as of the Effective Date, equal to the allowed amount of such Claim, (ii) over a period ending not later than five (5) years from the Petition Date, and (iii) in a manner not less favorable than the most favored nonpriority unsecured Claim provided for under the Plan. While the Debtors’ propose to pay the majority of Priority Tax Claims over a period ending not later than five (5) years from the Petition Date, the Debtors reserve the right to pay any Allowed Priority Tax Claim in full either upon the Effective Date or at the time of the Subsequent Public Offering. To the extent the Debtors’ propose to pay a Priority Tax Claim upon the Effective Date, the Debtors are proposing to pay such Claim as soon as practicable after the Effective Date.
The Debtors believe that there are approximately $749,000 of Section 507(a)(8) Priority Tax Claims as set forth more fully in the chart below.

Members of Class 14 will receive the following treatment under the Plan. Compromise of Claim: Although the Setal Entities allege they are entitled to a Secured Claim in the amount of at least $20 million, the Debtors dispute the validity of some of the penalties and other charges. In order to resolve these differences, the Setal Entities have agreed to Cash and a convertible note totaling approximately $9.1 million, with the balance of their Claims to be satisfied by the issuance of .New Common Stock in the Reorganized Debtor. The Setal Entities have also agreed to waive approximately $1.0 million of their claims. In order to effect the Exit Financing and thereby provide the funding for payments to junior Classes of Creditors under the Plan, the Setal Entities would be required to subordinate a portion and convert a portion of their Secured Claims. Based thereon, the Debtors believe that these terms are in the best interests of the Estates and are reasonable under the circumstances. This proposed compromise and treatment under the Plan is subject to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and Confirmation of the Plan. |

Such treatment shall be in full and complete satisfaction of the Class 14 Claim. |

2. Classes of Priority Unsecured Claims
Certain Priority Claims that are referred to in Bankruptcy Code Sections 507(a)(3), (4), (5), (6), and (7) are required to be placed in Classes. These types of Claims are entitled to priority treatment as follows: the Bankruptcy Code requires that each holder of such a Claim receive Cash on the Effective Date equal to the allowed amount of such Claim. However, a class of unsecured Priority Claim holders may vote to accept deferred Cash payments of a value, as of the Effective Date, equal to the allowed amount of such Claim. The Debtors do not believe that there are any valid outstanding Section 507(a)(3), (4), (5), (6), or (7) priority unsecured claims.
3. Class of General Unsecured Claims
General Unsecured Claims are unsecured Claims not entitled to priority under Bankruptcy Code Section 507(a). The following chart identifies the Plan’s treatment of the Class containing all of the Debtors’ non-priority General Unsecured Claims.
Class # | | Description | | Impaired | | Treatment |
| | | | | | |
20 | | Except for as otherwise provided in Class 20A below, all General Unsecured Claims, including unsecured deficiency claims of alleged Secured Creditors. The Debtor estimates that there are a total of approximately $10 million of Class 20 Claims. | | Yes Allowed Claims in this Class are entitled to vote on the Plan | | Cash Payment: In full settlement and satisfaction of their Class 20 Claims, holders of Class 20 and 20A Allowed Claims will receive, in the aggregate, $1,000,000 on the Effective Date or as soon as practical thereafter. After payment of Class 20A Claims, the balance of the $1 million will be distributed on a pro rata basis among Class 20 Claimants with Allowed Class 20 Claims. The balance of the Class 20 Allowed Claims in the approximate amount of $9 million, will receive New Common Stock as described below. Equity: As soon as practicable after the Subsequent Public Offering, holders of Class 20 Allowed Claims shall receive a pro rata distribution of New Common Stock in an amount equal to the balance of their Class 20 Allowed Claims after crediting the Cash distribution. The New Common Stock will be issued at the Discounted Stock Price. The Debtors estimate that approximately $9 million worth of New Common Stock will be issued to Class 20 Claimants with Allowed Claims. If the Subsequent Public Offering is not effective within one (1) year after the Effective Date, the balance of the Class 20 Claims of approximately $9 million shall receive one share of New Common Stock for every ten dollars ($10) of Claim Such treatment shall be in full and complete satisfaction of Class 20 Claims. |
Class # | | Description | | Impaired | | Treatment |
| | | | | | |
20A | | General Unsecured Claims under $1,000 and those Creditors who elect to reduce their Claims to $1,000. Total amount of Claims = approximately $87,000. (“Convenience Class”) | | Yes Allowed Claims in this Class are entitled to vote on the Plan | | Class 20A Claimants shall receive in full, final and complete satisfaction of their Claims, a distribution as soon as practicable after the Effective Date of an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of each Allowed Claim. A Creditor with a Claim in excess of $1,000 may elect in writing on the Ballot for voting on the Plan to reduce its Claim to $1,000 and receive a distribution of 20% (i.e., $200) on such Claim. If $87,000 of Class 20A Claimants receive 20%, then that will reduce the $1 million for General Unsecured Creditors by approximately $18,000 (and will reduce the amount of outstanding General Unsecured Claims by $87,000). Such treatment shall be in full and complete satisfaction of Class 20A Claims. |
4. Class of Interest Holders
Interest holders are the parties who hold an ownership Interest (i.e., equity interest) in the Debtors. USDC is the owner of 100% of the stock of each of the Subsidiary Debtors, meaning that each of the Subsidiary Debtors is a wholly-owned subsidiary of USDC. Since USDC is a corporation, the owners of the stock in USDC are considered Interest holders. The following chart identifies the Plan's treatment of the Classes of Interest holders:
Class # | | Description | | Impaired | | Treatment |
| | | | | | |
21 | | Holders of Convertible Preferred Stock of USDC | | Yes. Impaired. Holders of Class 21 interests are entitled to vote on the Plan. | | Class 21 Interest holders shall be deemed to have fully exercised their right to convert their preferred stock to common stock at 110% of the applicable conversion rate on the Effective Date. Class 21 Interest holders shall receive the same treatment for their newly converted common stock as Class 23 common stock. Such treatment shall be in full and complete satisfaction of Class 21 Interests and all claims for unpaid dividends. |
Class # | | Description | | Impaired | | Treatment |
| | | | | | |
22 | | Holders of Common Stock of USDC | | Yes. Impaired. Holders of class 22 Interests are entitled to vote on the Plan. | | On the Effective Date all common stock of USDC shall be canceled. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, Class 22 Interest holders shall receive one share of New Common Stock for every 25 shares of stock held on the Record Date and surrendered to the transfer agent. As a condition to receiving stock in the Reorganized Debtor, each Class 22 Interest holder must surrender his/hers/its common stock to the Reorganized Debtor’s transfer agent. |
| | | | | | |
23A 23B 23C 23D 23E 23F 23G | | Stock in the Subsidiary Debtors as follows: Enivel Steam Press CCI Fresno 1 Fresno 2 Portsmouth Tuchman | | No. Not Impaired. Interests in this Class are conclusively deemed to have accepted the Plan and are not entitled to vote on the Plan. | | On the Effective Date and assuming the Debtors’ motion to substantively consolidate all these Cases is approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the Subsidiary Debtors will be merged into USDC pursuant to this Plan and applicable state law, shall cease to exist as separate legal entities, and shall become with USDC the Reorganized Debtor. The holders of the equity interests in Classes 23A–23G shall retain their legal, equitable and contractual rights unaltered by the Plan. |
D. | Means of Effectuating this Plan and Implementation of this Plan |
This Plan will be funded by the Exit Financing to be secured by Provident in the aggregate amount of $12,000,000, plus the Debtors’ Cash on hand. After deducting Provident’s fees and costs relating to obtaining the Exit Financing, in the amount of approximately $1,000,000, the Debtors’ Estates will net $11,000,000 from the Exit Financing. Of this amount, the Reorganized Debtor anticipates that it will require $3.5 million for working capital, regulatory filings and funds to secure new acquisitions in connection with the Subsequent Public Offering. Such proceeds will be utilized to make the Cash payments required under this Plan. The balance of Allowed Claims will be satisfied by the issuance of the New Common Stock and/or payment over time by the Reorganized Debtor.
Within 30 days of satisfaction of Secured Claims as set forth in the Plan, holders of such Claims shall file releases of their liens with the appropriate government agencies (the “Release Procedures”). In the event that the foregoing Claimants do not complete the Release Procedures, the Order confirming this Plan shall grant the Reorganized Debtor power of attorney authority for the limited purpose of implementing and consummating the Release Procedures.
| 3. | Composition of the Reorganized Debtor and Post-Confirmation Management. |
On the Effective Date, all of the Debtors other than USDC, will be merged and substantively consolidated into USDC, and all of the Debtors other than USDC will cease to exist. The Reorganized Debtor will remain a Delaware corporation. The Reorganized Debtor’s Board of Directors (the “Reorganized Debtor’s Board”) until after the Subsequent Public Offering will have four (4) members. The initial members of the Reorganized Debtor’s Board shall be Robert Y. Lee, Chairman, Michael Drace, Timothy Rand and Martin J. Brill.
The Debtors currently anticipate that the management of the Reorganized Debtor immediately following the Effective Date will remain the same. Robert Y. Lee will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer until a successor Chief Executive Officer is appointed after the Effective Date, but prior to the Subsequent Public Offering. On the Effective Date the Reorganized Debtor reserves the right and shall be authorized to pay Mr. Lee all salary and expenses deferred during the Chapter 11 Case as a result of that certain Stipulation to Appoint Brian Weiss as Chief Restructuring Officer and that certain Stipulation To Appoint Charles T. Moffitt As Debtors’ Chief Restructuring Officer. The Debtors have interviewed several candidates for the position of Chief Financial Officer. It is anticipated that a CFO will accept the position after Confirmation, but prior to the Subsequent Public Offering. Although not an officer, Riaz Chauthani will continue to serve as director of Mergers and Acquisitions.
All persons designated pursuant to this Section shall be authorized to assume their offices as of the Effective Date and shall be authorized to continue to serve in such capacities thereafter pending further action of the Reorganized Debtor’s Board or stockholders of the Reorganized Debtor in accordance with applicable state law and the Reorganized Debtor’s then-existing bylaws and charter.
The Reorganized Debtor will act as the Disbursing Agent for purposes of making all Distributions provided for under this Plan. The Disbursing Agent will serve without bond and will receive no compensation for distribution services rendered and expenses incurred pursuant to this Plan. The Disbursing Agent may employ others, such as its transfer agent, to assist it in making Distributions under this Plan.
The Claims bar date in these cases was August 13, 2010. Attached as Exhibit “E” to the Disclosure Statement is the Claim Chart, which identifies all of the Debtors’ scheduled Claims and all Proofs of Claim or Interest which have been filed against the Debtors. Following Confirmation of the Plan, the Reorganized Debtor shall be the sole entity with the standing and authority to file objections to Claims in these Cases, and shall have the right to file objections to all Claims which are inconsistent with the Debtors’ books and records unless the Reorganized Debtor deems the inconsistency to be insignificant. The Reorganized Debtor will have the authority in the reasonable exercise of its business judgment to settle or compromise any Claim following the Effective Date by submitting a stipulation to the Bankruptcy Court without a notice or hearing thereon. As provided by Section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Court may estimate any contingent or unliquidated Disputed Claim for purposes of Confirmation of the Plan. The Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction over the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtor, these Cases and these Estates to resolve and to adjudicate any and all such objections to Claims which are commenced or continued following the Confirmation of the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtor of any rights of setoff or recoupment, or of any defense, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtor may have with respect to any Claim, or of any bases that the Reorganized Debtor may have to object to any such Claim.
Any Proof of Claim or Interest that is filed with the Bankruptcy Court and/or served on the Debtors or Reorganized Debtor after the Effective Date will be deemed invalid unless the Claimant files a motion for leave of Court to file such Claim.
The Debtors specifically reserved the right to file objections to any and all Claims set forth in Exhibit “E” to the Disclosure Statement. The Order confirming the Plan shall not be res judicata, collateral estoppel, or other bar to the Reorganized Debtor’s or other party in interest’s right to object to such Claims after the Effective Date.
| 6. | Payment Upon Resolution of Disputed Claims. |
The Reorganized Debtor will not make any payment or distribute any stock to the holder of a Disputed Claim until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. Pending a resolution of the Disputed Claim, the Reorganized Debtor will create a reserve account (the “Reserve Account”) which will contain proposed distributions based on the Disputed Claims. Within sixty (60) days after a Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, the Reorganized Debtor will make a payment or distribute stock to the holder of such Allowed Claim from the Reserve Account in an amount equal to what the holder of such Allowed Claim would have received if the Claim had been allowed in such amount as of the Effective Date. In the event that the Disputed Claim is disallowed, that portion of the Reserve Account which was designated for payment of the Disputed Claim will be transferred to Allowed Claims in accordance with the treatment set forth in Class 20 above or retained by the Reorganized Debtor according to the Class treatment for such Allowed Claims.
| 7. | Investigation and Prosecution of Claims and Causes of Action Including Avoidance Actions. |
The Reorganized Debtor, as the representative of the Debtors’ Estates and for the benefit of the Estates, shall have the right to pursue any preference actions based on non-monetary transfers, including, without limitations, transfers of security interests to creditors, and all preference and other claims against Bell Hop Cleaners of California, Inc., and Team Equipment, Inc. and their affiliates. Additionally, the Reorganized Debtor, as the representative of the Debtors’ Estates and for the benefit of the Estates, shall have the right to pursue any and all other causes of action available to the Debtors’ Estates, including, but not limited to, non-preference avoidance causes of action such as the Debtors’ turnover and professional negligence claims against Winthrop Couchot.
The Debtors specifically reserve the right to commence any actions against Creditors set forth in Exhibit “E” to the Disclosure Statement. An order confirming the Plan shall not be res judicata, collateral estoppel, or other bar to the Reorganized Debtor’s right to commence any such actions after the Effective Date.
| 8. | Payment of Professional Fees and Expenses Incurred Post Effective Date |
The Reorganized Debtor shall be entitled to employ such Professionals that the Reorganized Debtor deems appropriate and to pay the fees and expenses incurred by such Professionals in the ordinary course without any further order of the Bankruptcy Court.
E. | Other Provisions of the Plan. |
| 1. | Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. |
(a) Assumptions.
Attached to the Disclosure Statement as Exhibit “B” is a list of all of the Debtors’ executory contracts and unexpired leases which the Debtors intend to assume on the Effective Date with the obligations of the Debtors to the other parties to such executory contracts and unexpired leases to become obligations of the Reorganized Debtor. Also set forth in Exhibit “B” is an itemization of the defaults which the Debtors contend exist and must be cured in connection with the Debtors’ assumption of such executory contracts and unexpired leases (the “Cure Amounts”), unless the other parties to such executory contracts and unexpired leases agree to the contrary. The Debtors estimate that the total Cure Amounts that the Debtors will be required to pay on the Effective Date will be approximately $50,000, based on agreements reached with parties to such contracts, with the balance of the Cure Amounts to be paid over a period of up to 24 months. The Confirmation Order will constitute a Bankruptcy Court order approving the Debtors’ assumption of all such executory contracts and unexpired leases and fixing the Cure Amounts for each such executory contract and unexpired lease in the amounts asserted by the Debtors as set forth in Exhibit “B”.
(b) Rejections.
On the Effective Date, all executory contracts and unexpired leases set forth on Exhibit “C” to the Disclosure Statement and all executory contracts and unexpired leases not previously assumed or set forth on Exhibit “B” to the Disclosure Statement will be deemed rejected by the Debtors, and the Court order confirming this Plan will constitute a Court order approving the Debtors’ rejection of all such executory contracts and unexpired leases. Additionally, all executory contracts and unexpired leases to which the Debtors are a party or to which any of the Debtors is a party and which have not been previously assumed or set forth in Exhibit “B” will also be deemed rejected, and the Court order confirming this Plan will constitute a Court order approving the Debtors’ rejection of all such executory contracts and unexpired leases.
(c) Cures.
The Cure Amounts that the Debtors believe is required is set forth on Exhibit “B” to the Disclosure Statement. Any party who wishes to object to the Debtors’ assumption of any of the unexpired leases or executory contracts set forth in Exhibit “B” under this Plan and/or to the Cure Amounts of any defaults the Debtors believe exist must file a written objection with the Bankruptcy Court within 14 days prior to the date first set for the Plan Confirmation Hearing, and serve such objection on counsel to the Debtors. The Bankruptcy Court may deem the failure of any party to file such a timely objection to constitute consent to the Debtors’ assumption of the unexpired leases and executory contracts set forth on Exhibit “B” and to the Cure Amounts of any defaults the Debtors must cure in connection with the Debtors’ assumption of these unexpired leases and executory contracts.
THE BAR DATE FOR FILING A PROOF OF CLAIM BASED ON A CLAIM ARISING FROM THE REJECTION OF ANY EXECUTORY CONTRACT OR UNEXPIRED LEASE WHICH IS REJECTED ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE SHALL BE THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE. Any Claim based on the rejection of an unexpired lease or executory contract will be barred if the Proof of Claim is not timely filed, unless the Bankruptcy Court orders otherwise. Any Allowed Claim resulting from the rejection of an unexpired lease or executory contract will be classified and treated as a Class 20 Allowed Claim.
| 2. | Changes in Rates Subject to Regulatory Commission Approval. |
The Debtors are not subject to governmental regulatory commission approval of their rates.
| 3. | Retention of Jurisdiction. |
After the Effective Date, in addition to jurisdiction which exists in any other court, the Bankruptcy Court will retain such jurisdiction as is legally permissible including for the following purposes:

viii. To determine all applications, motions, adversary proceedings, contested matters, and any other litigated matters instituted during the pendency of these Cases whether before, on, or after the Effective Date including claims, causes of action, and avoidance actions, and the Reorganized Debtor shall have the right to commence any claims, causes of action and avoidance actions after the Effective Date and to continue with the prosecution of any such claims, causes of action and avoidance actions which were commenced but not completed by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date;

On the Effective Date, without shareholder approval, all outstanding instruments and securities representing Equity Interests and any rights to acquire Equity Interests in USDC, including all warrants, options and similar securities, shall be deemed canceled and of no further force or effect, without any further action on the part of the Bankruptcy Court or any person. The holders of such canceled instruments, securities, and other documents shall have no rights arising from or relating to such instruments, securities or other documents or the cancellation thereof, except the rights provided pursuant to this Plan.
| 2. | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation and Other Actions. |
On the Effective Date, the Board of Directors of the Reorganized Debtor shall be authorized to amend the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws to accomplish the following:
(a) Authorize the issuance of one hundred million shares of New Common Stock and thirty million shares of the Reorganized Debtor’s preferred stock. The Board of Directors shall determine in their discretion the rights, privileges and restrictions granted or imposed on such shares.
(b) Effect a quasi-reorganization for accounting purposes.
(c) Issue shares to carry out any transaction contemplated in the Plan without solicitation of or notice to shareholders.
(d) Take all action necessary and appropriate to carry out the terms of the Plan.
(e) Amend the Reorganized Debtor’s Articles of Incorporation and/or Bylaws to provide the maximum indemnification or other protections to the Reorganized Debtor’s officers and directors that is allowed under applicable law.
(f) In accordance with Section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, include within its charter a provision prohibiting the issuance of nonvoting equity securities.
(g) Institute an employee/management stock plan with authority to issue up to twenty percent (20%) of the New Common Stock pursuant to such plan.
Without shareholder approval, the Board of Directors of Reorganized Debtor shall be authorized to take any and all action necessary or appropriate to effectuate any amendments to the Reorganized Debtor’s Certificate of Incorporation and/or Bylaws called for under this Plan and the Board of Directors and officers of the Reorganized Debtor shall be authorized to execute, verify, acknowledge, file and publish any and all instruments or documents that may be required to accomplish same.
The Reorganized Debtor shall amend its charter in conformance with section 303 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and pursuant to section 1123(a)(5)(I) of the Bankruptcy Code. The amended charter and bylaws will become effective upon (i) Confirmation of the Plan, (ii) the occurrence of the Effective Date, and (iii) the filing with the Delaware Secretary of State of a certificate of amendment reflecting the amendments.
G. | Exemption from Registration Under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. |
In reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and of state and local securities laws afforded by Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, Reorganized Debtor’s new common stock to be issued pursuant to the Plan on and after the Effective Date need not be registered under the Securities Act or any state or local securities laws. The Reorganized Debtor’s common stock will not be subject to any statutory restrictions on transferability and may be resold by any holder without registration under the Securities Act or other federal securities laws pursuant to the exemption provided by section 4(1) of the Securities Act, unless the holder is an “underwriter” with respect to such securities, as that term is defined in Section 1145(b) of the Code. Entities who believe they may be “underwriters” under the definition contained in Section 1145 of the Code are advised to consult their own counsel with respect to the availability of the exemption provided by Section 1145. All stock in the Reorganized Debtor to be issued under this Plan shall be subject to standard and customary underwriter lockup provisions.
H. | Closing of Register for Existing Common Stock. |
At the close of business on the Record Date, the security register for the common stock of USDC shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registrations of transfer or other changes in holders on the books of the stock transfer agent, or USDC, and the Reorganized Debtor shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of the common stock of USDC occurring thereafter (but shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal with, for all purposes under the Plan, except as otherwise provided herein, those holders reflected on the security register on the Record Date).
I. | Miscellaneous Issues Regarding Plan Distribution. |
| 1. | No Fractional Distributions or Shares Issued. |
No distributions in fractions of hundredths of U.S. Dollars ($0.00’s) (i.e. cents) shall be issued. If the Distribution amount allocated to an Allowed Claim at the time of a Distribution hereunder would include fractions of cents, the amount to be distributed to the holder of such Claim shall be rounded down to the highest integral number of cents in the applicable Claim amount. No fractional shares of New Common Stock shall be issued and all fractional shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. Holders of Allowed Claims who would be entitled to fractional shares but for this provision shall receive no consideration therefor because such amount will be de minimus.
| 2. | De Minimus Cash Distributions. |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, no Cash Distributions shall be made on account of any Allowed Claim if the Cash Distribution amount is less than $10.00. Holders of Allowed Claims who would otherwise be entitled to a Distribution in an amount of less than $10.00 shall receive no Distribution on account of such Allowed Claim because the value of such Allowed Claim would be de minimus and the administrative costs associated with processing and mailing the Distribution to the holder of such Allowed Claim would likely exceed the amount of the Distribution. No Distribution of less than 10 shares of New Common Stock shall be made to any holder of an Allowed Claim or a Interest, as such a Distribution would be de minimus.
| 3. | Name and Address of Holder of Claim or Interest. |
For purposes of all distributions under the Plan, the Disbursing Agent will be entitled to rely on the name and address of the holder of each Allowed Claim or Interest as shown on any timely filed proof of claim and, if none, as shown on the Debtors’ bankruptcy schedules, as amended from time to time, except to the extent that the Disbursing Agent first receives adequate written notice of a transfer or change of address, properly executed by the holder or its authorized agent.
Any property to be distributed to Creditors or Interest holders under this Plan shall be forfeited to the Reorganized Debtor if it is not claimed by the entity entitled to it before the later of one (1) year after the Effective Date or sixty (60) days after an order allowing the Claim or Interest of that entity becomes a final order. Any securities returned pursuant to this provision shall be canceled.
IV. EFFECT OF CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN
On the Effective Date, the Debtors will receive a discharge under this Plan pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code because there has not been a liquidation of all or substantially all of the property of the Debtors’ Estates and the Reorganized Debtor will be continuing with the Debtors’ current business operations. Confirmation of the Plan effectuates a discharge as to all debts or liabilities, whether contingent, unliquidated, disputed, known or unknown, that were incurred or arose before Confirmation of the Plan. This includes all types of Claims and obligations arising out of and/or including, but not limited to, (i) all causes of action under state and Federal law (e.g., breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, securities violations, etc.), (ii) trade payables, (iii) landlord Claims, (iv) tax Claims including interest, (v) environmental claims, and (vi) any other known or unknown Claim from any debt arising prior to Plan Confirmation.
This Plan binds the holders of all Claims whether or not they accept this Plan. The rights afforded in this Plan and the treatment of all Claims therein shall be in complete satisfaction, discharge and release of all Claims against the Debtors or any of their assets or properties of any nature whatsoever except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan. Except as otherwise set forth in this Plan, all Claims shall be forever satisfied, discharged and released in full on the Effective Date, and all holders of Claims shall be forever precluded and enjoined from asserting Claims against the Reorganized Debtor or any of the Debtors. Any litigation pending pre-petition and/or initiated post-petition in any court other than the Bankruptcy Court where relief from stay was not obtained from the Bankruptcy Court shall be deemed discharged upon Confirmation.
B. | Continuing Stay/Injunction. |
The automatic stay is lifted upon Confirmation as to property of the Estates. However, the stay continues to prohibit collection or enforcement of pre-petition Claims against the Reorganized Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor’s property until the earlier of the date: (1) the relevant bankruptcy Case is closed, or (2) the relevant bankruptcy Case is dismissed. Therefore, all parties bound by this Plan shall take no action with respect to, and are enjoined from, collecting or enforcing their pre-petition Claims against the Reorganized Debtor as set forth herein, and as otherwise provided by operation of law, until the earlier of the date: (1) the relevant bankruptcy Case is closed, or (2) the relevant bankruptcy case is dismissed.
The Confirmation Order shall enjoin the prosecution, whether directly, derivatively or otherwise, of any Claim, obligation, suit, judgment, damage, demand, debt, right, cause of action, liability or Interest released, discharged or terminated pursuant to this Plan.
Except as provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, as of the Effective Date, all entities that have held, currently hold or may hold a Claim or other debt or liability that is discharged or an interest or other right of an Equity Security holder that is impaired pursuant to the terms of this Plan are permanently enjoined from taking any of the following actions against the Debtors, the Estates, the Committee, the Reorganized Debtor or their property on account of any such discharged Claims, debts or liabilities or terminated Interests or rights: (i) commencing or continuing, in any manner or in any place, any action or other proceeding; (ii) enforcing, attaching, collecting or recovering in any manner any judgment, award, decree or order; (iii) creating, perfecting or enforcing any lien or encumbrance; (iv) asserting a setoff, right of subrogation or recoupment of any kind against any debt, liability or obligation due to the Debtors and (v) commencing or continuing any action in any manner, in any place that does not comply with or is inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan.
Each holder of an Allowed Claim receiving a Distribution pursuant to this Plan will be deemed to have specifically consented to the injunctions set forth in this Section.
C. | Revesting of Property in the Reorganized Debtor. |
Except as provided elsewhere in the Plan, the Confirmation of the Plan revests all of the property of the Debtors’ estates in the Reorganized Debtor, including, but not limited to, any Claims against the Gamet Parties, Winthrop Couchot and any party listed on Exhibit “E” to the Disclosure Statement. From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor may operate its business and may use, acquire, and dispose of property, including payment of all business expenses and professional fees and expenses, and compromise and settle any claims or causes of actions without supervision or consent of the Bankruptcy Court, and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules.
The Reorganized Debtor shall have, retain, reserve and be entitled to assert all claims, causes of action, rights of setoff and other legal or equitable defenses that the Debtors had immediately prior to the Petition Date as fully as if the Debtors’ bankruptcy Cases had not been commenced; and all of the Reorganized Debtor’s legal and equitable rights respecting any such claims which are not specifically waived, extinguished, or relinquished by the Plan may be asserted after the Effective Date by the Reorganized Debtor.
D. | Modification of the Plan. |
The Debtors may modify this Plan at any time before Confirmation. However, the Bankruptcy Court may require a new disclosure statement and/or re-voting on this Plan if the Debtors modify the Plan before Confirmation. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtor, as the case may be, may also seek to modify this Plan at any time after Confirmation of the Plan so long as (1) the Plan has not been substantially consummated, and (2) the Bankruptcy Court authorizes the proposed modifications after notice and a hearing.
E. | Post-Confirmation Status Reports. |
Until final decrees closing the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases are entered, the Reorganized Debtor shall file a consolidated quarterly status report with the Bankruptcy Court explaining what progress has been made toward consummation of the confirmed Plan and shall serve such status reports upon the OUST and the Post-Effective Date Parties.
F. | Post-Confirmation Conversion/Dismissal. |
A Creditor or any other party in interest may bring a motion to convert or dismiss the Cases under Section 1112(b) of the Bankruptcy Code after the Plan is confirmed if there is a default in performing the Plan. If the Bankruptcy Court orders the Cases converted to Chapter 7 after the Plan is confirmed, then all property that had been property of the Chapter 11 Estates, and that has not been disbursed pursuant to the Plan, will revest in the Chapter 7 Estates, and the automatic stay will be reimposed upon the revested property, but only to the extent that relief from stay was not previously authorized by the Bankruptcy Court during these Cases. The Confirmation Order may also be revoked under very limited circumstances. The Bankruptcy Court may revoke the Confirmation Order if it was procured by fraud and if a party in interest brings an adversary proceeding to revoke confirmation within 180 days after the entry of the Confirmation Order.

The Reorganized Debtor shall be responsible for the timely payment of all fees incurred pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a)(6).
