INTRODUCTION

 

InterDent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“InterDent”), and InterDent Service Corporation, Inc., a Washington Corporation (“ISC”) (collectively the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Code” or the “Bankruptcy Code”) on May 9, 2003.  Since this date both corporations have continued to operate their businesses in the ordinary course as debtors-in-possession.  On May       , 2003, the United States Bankruptcy Court (the “Court” or the “Bankruptcy Court”) entered an order authorizing the joint administration of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 cases.

 

The document that you are reading is the Debtors’ Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”).  The Plan provides for the preservation of the Debtors’ businesses through a comprehensive reorganization and debt recapitalization.  Under the Plan, the claims of creditors will be paid, either in full or in part, from the proceeds of the continued operations of the Debtors or through issuance of equity interests in Reorganized InterDent, and will otherwise be discharged.

 

Sent to you in the same envelope as this document is the Debtors’ Joint Disclosure Statement (the “Disclosure Statement”).  The Disclosure Statement has been approved by the Court and it is being provided along with the Plan in order to provide you with critical information about the Debtors and to help you understand the Plan.  The Disclosure Statement discusses the Debtors history, businesses, properties, and results of operations and contains a summary and discussion of this Plan.  Holders of Claims and Interests and parties to executory contracts and unexpired leases are encouraged to read the Disclosure Statement.  No solicitation materials, other than the Disclosure Statement and related materials transmitted therewith and approved for solicitation purposes by the Court, have been authorized for use in soliciting acceptances or rejections of this Plan.

 

DDJCM and the LL Entities (each as defined below) are co-sponsors of the Plan (the “Co-Sponsors”).  This means that these creditors have participated in the development of the Plan, and they have agreed to perform certain obligations in connection with the Plan, if the Plan is confirmed by the Court and certain other conditions are satisfied.  The Co-Sponsors are not liable

 



 

for any obligations being incurred under the Plan by the Debtors or for any other obligations of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors.

IV.

 

UNCLASSIFIED CLAIMS

 

As required by the Code, the Plan places claims and interests into various Classes according to their right to priority.  However, certain types of claims are not classified in any Classes under the Plan.  These claims are deemed “unclassified” under the provisions of the Code.  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 Code.  As such, the Debtors have not placed the following claims in a class.  The treatment of these unclassified claims is as provided below.

 

4.1.                              Administrative ClaimsAdministrative Claims are claims for the expenses of administering the Debtors’ Cases that are allowed under Code section 507(a)(1).  The Code requires that all Administrative Claims be paid on the Effective Date of the Plan, unless a particular claimant agrees to a different treatment.  The treatment of Administrative Claims is as described below.

 

4.1.1.                     DIP Facility Claims.  On the Effective Date, the DIP Facility Claims shall be paid in full out of the proceeds of the Exit Facility or cash on hand.

 

4.1.2.                     Other Administrative Claims.

 

A.                                   Payment Generally.  Except to the extent that the Holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim agrees to a different treatment, and subject to the bar dates for

 

23



 

Administrative Claims set forth in the following Sections, the Distribution Agent shall pay each Allowed Administrative Claim in full, in Cash, on the later of (i) the Effective Date, (ii) within ten (10) Business Days after the date such Administrative Claim becomes an Allowed Administrative Claim, or (iii) the date such Allowed Administrative Claim becomes due according to its terms.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Allowed Administrative Claim representing obligations incurred in the ordinary course of post-petition business by the Debtors in Possession (including without limitation post-petition trade obligations and routine post-petition payroll obligations) shall be paid in full or performed by the Reorganized Debtors in the ordinary course of business, in accordance with the terms of the particular obligation.

 

B.                                     Administrative Claims Bar Date.

 

(i)                                     General Administrative Claims Bar Date.  All applications for final compensation of Professionals for services rendered and for reimbursement of expenses incurred on or before the Effective Date and all other requests for payment of Administrative Claims incurred before the Effective Date under sections 507(a)(1) or 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (except only for (i) post-petition, ordinary course trade obligations and routine post-petition payroll obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the Debtors’ post-petition business, for which no bar date shall apply, and (ii) post-petition tax obligations, for which the bar date described in the following Section shall apply) shall be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served upon the Reorganized Debtors and the Co-Sponsors no later than sixty (60) days after the Effective Date (the “General Administrative Claims Bar Date”), unless such date is extended by the Bankruptcy Court after notice to the Reorganized Debtors and the Co-Sponsors.  Any such request for payment of an Administrative Claim that is subject to the General Administrative Claims Bar Date and that is not Filed and served on or before the General Administrative Claims Bar Date shall be forever barred; any party that seeks payment of Administrative Claims that (i) is required to file a request for payment of such Administrative Claims and (ii) does not file such a request by the deadline established herein shall be forever barred from asserting such Administrative Claims against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, their estates, or any of their property.

 

24



 

(ii)                                  Administrative Tax Claims Bar Date.  All requests for payment of Administrative Claims by a governmental unit for Taxes (and for interest and/or penalties related to such Taxes) for any tax year or period, all or any portion of which occurs or falls within the period from and including the Petition Date through and including the Effective Date (“Tax Administrative Claims”) and for which no bar date has otherwise previously been established, must be filed and served on the Reorganized Debtors and the Co-Sponsors on or before the later of (i) sixty (60) days following the Effective Date; and (ii) 180 days following the filing of the tax return for such taxes for such tax year or period with the applicable governmental unit.  Any Holder of any Tax Administrative Claims that is required to file a request for payment of such taxes and does not file and properly serve such a request by the applicable bar date shall be forever barred from asserting any such Tax Administrative Claims against the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, their estates, or their property.

 

4.2.                              Priority Tax Claims.  Priority Tax Claims are certain unsecured income, employment and other taxes described by Code Section 507(a)(8).  The 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, over a period not exceeding six (6) years from the date of the assessment of such tax.  The total claims of this nature are estimated to be approximately $           .  At the election of the Debtors, the Holder of each Allowed Priority Tax Claim shall be entitled to receive, on account of such Claim, (i) equal cash payments on the last Business Day of each three-month period following the Effective Date, during a period not to exceed six years after the assessment of the Tax on which such Claim is based, totaling the principal amount of such Claim plus simple interest on any unpaid balance from the Effective Date, calculated at the interest rate available on ninety (90) day United States Treasuries on the Effective Date, (ii) such other treatment agreed to by the Holder of the Allowed Priority Tax Claim and the Debtors (or the Reorganized Debtors), provided such treatment is on more favorable terms to the Debtors (or the Reorganized Debtors after the Effective Date) than the treatment set forth in clause (i) hereof, or (iii) payment of the full Allowed Priority Tax Claim in Cash.

CLASSIFICATION OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS

 

5.1.                              General Overview.  As required by the Code, the Plan places claims and interests into various Classes according to their right to priority and other relative rights.  The Plan specifies whether each Class of claims or interests is impaired or unimpaired, and the Plan sets forth the treatment each Class will receive.  The table below lists the Classes of Claims established under the Plan and states whether each particular Class is impaired or left unimpaired by the Plan.  A Class is “unimpaired” if the Plan leaves unaltered the legal, equitable and contractual rights to which the Holders of claims or interests in the Class are entitled, with certain exceptions specified in the Bankruptcy Code.

PROVISIONS FOR THE TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS

 

6.1.                              Class 1.  Class 1 is comprised of Allowed Secured Claims under the Senior Secured Credit Agreements.  The Claims held by the Class 1 Creditors are secured by a first priority lien against substantially all assets of the Debtors.  None of the Class 1 Creditors qualify as “insiders” of the Debtors as that term is defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101.  The Holders of Claims in Class 1 have consented to the different treatment of such claims specified below and, accordingly, such different treatment is permitted under section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.  That treatment is as follows:

 

27



 

6.1.1.                     Class 1.1 — Bank Lenders.  The Allowed Secured Claim of each Bank Lender shall be paid in full over a period of three (3) years from the Effective Date subject to, and in accordance with, the New Credit Agreement.  The terms and conditions of such payment shall include the following:

 

A.                                   Allowed Amounts of Bank Lender Claims.  The Allowed Secured Claims of the Bank Lenders shall be equal to the sum of:  (i) the principal balance on their Senior Secured Claims and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon owed as of the Petition Date, less a $200,000 principal amortization payment which is payable as soon as practicable following the entry of an adequate protection order of the Court in connection with the approval of the DIP Facility (but only if, and to the extent, such amount is paid); (ii) accrued PIK Fees and interest thereon through the Petition Date; (iii) all accrued and unpaid interest from the Petition Date through the Effective Date; and (iv) subject to section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, all accrued and unpaid fees, costs and charges provided for under the Senior Secured Credit Agreements (other than post-Petition Date PIK Fees) through the Effective Date.  For purposes of determining the Bank Lender’s Allowed Claim (in this Section 6.1.1.A.), while post-petition interest will have accrued at the non-default contract rate under the applicable Senior Secured Credit Agreement (x) each of the Bank Lenders will be deemed to have waived its post-petition interest in excess of the prime rate of interest as published in the Wall Street Journal plus two and one half percent (2.5%) for the first one hundred and eight (180) days of the Cases if, and when, this Plan is confirmed and the Effective Date occurs, and (y) all Cash payments of post-petition interest will be credited against the foregoing amount.

 

B.                                     Interest Rate.  From and after the Effective Date, the Restructured Senior Secured Claims (exclusive of post-Effective Date interest, fees and charges that are not past due) shall bear interest at two and one-half percentage points (2.5%) over the prime rate of interest as published in the Wall Street Journal, or, at the option of the Reorganized Debtors, four percentage points (4%) in excess of the sixth-month LIBOR rate as published in [              ;]

 

28



 

C.                                     Application of Proceeds of Exercise of Class 6 Warrants.  If, and to the extent that, any Holder of Convertible Subordinated Notes in Class 6 exercises its right(s) under its Pro Rata share of the Class 6 Warrants to acquire shares of New Class A Common Stock (as provided for in Section 6.6 of the Plan), the cash proceeds from any such exercise shall be applied against the principal amount of the Restructured Senior Secured Claims in inverse order of maturity.

 

D.                                    Debt Service.  From and after the Effective Date, the Holders of the Restructured Senior Secured Claims shall receive monthly payments equal to the interest accruing on the unpaid balance of the Restructured Senior Secured Claims.  In addition to the payments set forth in Section 6.1.1.C. and 6.1.1.E. of the Plan, the Holders of the Restructured Senior Secured Claims shall receive a Pro Rata share of the following principal payments:

year, commencing with the year in which the Effective Date occurs, until the maturity date provided in subsection H. below; provided that for 2003, the period measured shall be April 1 to December 31, 2003.  The Reorganized Debtors shall provided reports of Excess Cash to the Holders of the Restructured Senior Secured Claims pursuant to audited financial statements and the reporting package delivered on or before April 30 of the year following the year for which Excess Cash is calculated.  On each Excess Cash Payment Date following December 31 of a year for which Excess Cash is determined, the Reorganized Debtors shall pay to the Holders of the Restructured Senior Secured Claims an amount equal to the lesser of:  (x) the Excess Cash Due for any prior year; and (y) the amount by which Company Liquidity exceeds Minimum Company Liquidity (determined as of the immediately preceding quarter end).  Any Excess Cash Due not paid on such date shall be deferred to the next Excess Cash Payment Date.

 

F.                                      Discount of PIK Fee for Early Payment of Restructured Senior Secured Claims.  If the Restructured Senior Secured Claims are paid in full on or before any payoff date specified below, the accrued PIK Fees that are included in the Restructured Senior Secured Claims shall be discounted and waived by the percentage of such PIK Fees listed below, and the amount necessary to pay off the Restructured Senior Secured Claims in full at that payoff date shall be determined by deducting the discounted and waived PIK Fees set forth below from the aggregate amount of the unpaid Restructured Senior Secured Claims:

expenditures in excess of the following amounts in the following years: (a) $7,100,000 during 2003; (b) $9,000,000 during 2004; (c) $8,000,000 during 2005; and (d) $8,400,000 during 2006.

 

H.                                    Maturity Date.  The Restructured Senior Secured Claims shall be paid in full, subject to the PIK Fee discounts, on or before the third anniversary date of the Effective Date.

 

I.                                         Covenants.  In addition to the Capital Expenditure Covenant (set forth in Section 6.1.1.G.), the covenants specified in Exhibit ”A” hereto shall be included in the New Credit Agreement.  Covenants shall be set off of the Debtors’ Business Plan delivered to the Bank Lenders and other Class 1 Clam holders by October 31, 2003, and reporting for all covenants shall be pursuant to quarter-end statements delivered on the forty-fifth (45th) day following the quarter end.  All of the financial covenants shall apply as and after January 1, 2004 (with the testing period to begin March 31, 2004), and shall be set at 85% of the Debtors’ Business Plan other than maximum capital expenditures which shall be set at 100% of the Debtors’ Business Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the EBITDA financial covenants shall also apply as and after the Effective Date through the portion of the year 2003 which remains after the Effective Date with such EBITDA financial covenants to be fixed at 75% of Business Plan (with a testing period at December 31, 2003).

 

J.                                        Lien Rights.  The Restructured Senior Secured Claims shall continue to be secured by a first priority lien on all assets of the Reorganized Debtors after the Effective Date, which shall rank pari passu with the first priority lien granted to secure the Exit Facility.

 

K.                                    Prepayment Right.  The Reorganized Debtors shall have the right to prepay the Restructured Senior Secured Claims at any time, without penalty.

 

L.                                      Cancellation of Senior Secured Credit Agreements.  The Senior Secured Credit Agreements (including, without limitation, any related notes in favor of the Senior Secured Lenders) shall be cancelled as of the Effective Date.

 

M.                                 Continued Effectiveness of Subordination Agreements.  Except for any contractual subordination rights that may otherwise exist with respect to Claims of, or the distributions to be made to, Holders of Senior Subordinated Notes under the Plan (which subordination rights are eliminated by this Plan), nothing in this Plan is intended to affect the

 

31



 

enforceability of any subordination agreement entered into prior to the Effective Date by any Creditor or group of Creditors in favor of any other Creditor of any Debtor in respect of any obligations owing by any Debtor.  Without in any manner limiting the generality of the foregoing, pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, the subordination of certain obligations of the Debtors to sellers of dental practices or others (including, without limitation the Assumed Seller and Earnout Obligations) to the Bank Lenders under the New Credit Agreement, as well as to the lenders under the Exit Facility shall be unaffected by this Plan.

 

6.1.2.                     Class 1.2 — Senior Secured Claims of DDJCM Entities.  DDJCM shall receive shares of New Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference equal to the sum of:  (a) the principal amount of the Senior Secured Claims held by the DDJCM Entities and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon as of the Petition Date; (b) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Secured Claims held by the DDJCM Entities from the Petition Date through the Effective Date at the non-default contract rate; (c) all accrued and unpaid PIK Fees on or included in the Senior Secured Claims held by the DDJCM Entities as of the Petition Date; and (d) accumulated and unpaid dividends on the New Preferred Stock issued to DDJCM.  The New Preferred Stock issued to DDJCM will be convertible into shares of New Class B Common Stock representing sixty percent (60%) of the New Common Stock, subject to certain transfer restrictions and to dilution only by New Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants and options granted under any management incentive plan.

 

6.1.3.                     Class 1.3 — Senior Secured Debt Claim of the LL Entities.  The LL Entities will receive the following:

 

A.                                   New Preferred Stock.  Shares of New Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference equal to the sum of:  (i) the principal amount of the Senior Secured Claims held by the LL Entities and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon as of the Petition Date; (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Secured Claims held by the LL Entities from the Petition Date through the Effective Date at the non-default contract rate; (iii) all accrued and unpaid PIK Fees on or included in the Senior Secured Claims held by the LL Entities as of the Petition Date; and (iv) accumulated and unpaid dividends on the New Preferred Stock issued to the LL Entities.  The

 

32



 

New Preferred Stock issued to the LL Entities shall be convertible into shares of New Class B Common Stock representing thirteen and eight tenths percent (13.8%) of the New Common Stock, subject to certain transfer restrictions and to dilution only by New Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants and options granted under any management incentive plan.

6.2.1.                     Option 1.  The Allowed Secured Claim shall be paid in full through forty eight (48) equal monthly installments of principal equal to the claimant’s Allowed Secured Capital Lease Claim or Other Allowed Secured Claim, plus interest, calculated at the rate of two and one half percentage points (2.5%) over the prime rate of interest as published in the Wall Street Journal on the Effective Date, in full satisfaction of such claim, but may be prepaid at any time without penalty or other charge.  The claimant’s Allowed Secured Capital Lease Claim or Other Allowed Secured Claim shall continue to be secured by the claimant’s existing lien on its collateral.  Upon full satisfaction of the claimant’s Allowed Secured Capital Lease Claim or Other Allowed Secured Claim, the claimant’s Lien on the associated collateral shall be released and the applicable Debtor shall retain title to such collateral free and clear of all Liens, claims and encumbrances.  The claimant’s Allowed Deficiency Claim shall be treated as an Allowed Class 4 Claim.

 

6.2.2.                     Option 2.  The claimant’s collateral shall be returned to the claimant on the Effective Date in full satisfaction of such claimant’s Allowed Secured Capital Lease Claim or Other Allowed Secured Claim.  The claimant’s Allowed Deficiency Claim shall be treated as an Allowed Class 4 Claim.

 

6.2.3.                     Option 3.  The legal, equitable and contractual rights to which the Allowed Secured Capital Lease Claim or Allowed Other Secured Claim entitles the Holder shall be left unaltered.

 

33



 

6.2.4.                     Option 4.  Notwithstanding any contractual provision or applicable law that entitles the Holder of the Allowed Secured Capital Lease Claim or Allowed Other Secured Claim to demand or receive accelerated payment of such Claim after the occurrence of a default: (A) any such default shall be cured, other than a default of a kind specified in section 365(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (B) the maturity of such claim shall be reinstated as such maturity existed before such default; (C) the Holder of such Claim shall be compensated for any damages incurred as a result of any reasonable reliance by such Holder on such contractual provision or such applicable law; and (D) the legal, equitable or contractual rights to which such Claim entitles the Holder of such Claim shall not otherwise be altered.

 

6.2.5.                     Option 5.  The Allowed Secured Capital Lease Claim or Other Allowed Secured Claim shall be paid in Cash on the Effective Date.

6.3.1.                     In General.  Certain Holders of Priority Claims that are referred to in 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.  The 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 Claims.

 

6.3.2.                     Treatment.  Each Holder of an Allowed Priority Claim in Class 3 shall be paid (a) the full amount of such Allowed Priority Claim in Cash on the later of (i) the Effective Date, (ii) the date such Claim becomes an Allowed Priority Claim or (iii) the date such Allowed Priority Claim becomes payable in accordance with the terms governing such Allowed Priority Claim, or (b) upon such other less favorable terms as may be agreed to by such Holder and the Reorganized Debtors.

6.4.                              Class 4 – Allowed Unsecured Claims Not Classified in Class 5 or Class 6.

 

6.4.1.                     Cash Distribution.  Class 4 consists of all Allowed Unsecured Claims which are not classified in Class 5 or Class 6.  Subject to the right to elect the Class 4 Stock Alternative described in subsection 6.4.2, each Holder of an Allowed Class 4 Claim who does not affirmatively elect the Stock Alternative on the ballot used by such Holder to accept or reject the Plan shall receive, on account of and in full satisfaction of such Holder’s Allowed Class 4 Claim, Cash in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of such Holder’s Allowed Class 4 Claim thirty (30) days after the Effective Date.

 

6.4.2.                     Class 4 Stock Alternative.

 

A.                                   In lieu of the Cash distribution described in Section 6.4.1., Holders of Class 4 Claims may elect (“Electing Class 4 Holders”) to receive shares of New Class A Common Stock which are subject to certain transfer restrictions from the Initial New Common Stock Issuance Pro Rata with the Holders of Class 5 Claims; provided, however, if the aggregate Allowed Claims of the Electing Class 4 Holders otherwise would exceed three percent (3%) of the sum: (i) the Allowed Class 5 Claims, and (ii) the Allowed Claims of Electing Class 4 Holders, then Electing Class 4 Holders will receive both: (x) their Pro Rata share (as among Electing Class 4 Holders) of three percent (3%) of the Initial New Common Stock Issuance, and (y) cash in an amount set forth in Paragraph B., below, (i.e. the portion of that Electing Class 4 Holder’s Allowed Claim that is not deemed satisfied with its Pro Rata share of the Initial New Common Stock Issuance).

 

B.                                     More specifically, each Holder of Allowed Class 4 Claims may elect to receive shares of New Class A Common Stock, which are subject to certain transfer restrictions and a Shareholder Agreement, in lieu of the Cash payment described in Section 6.4.1, and thereby become an Electing Class 4 Holder, only by affirmatively making such election on the ballot used to evidence such Holder’s acceptance or rejection of the Plan.  Each Electing Class 4 Holder shall receive that number of shares of New Class A Common Stock equal to the product of multiplying the Initial New Common Stock Issuance by a fraction, the numerator of which is such Holder’s Allowed Class 4 Claim, and the denominator of which is the sum of:  (x) the aggregate amount of

 

35



 

the Allowed Class 4 Claims of all Electing Class 4 Holders, plus (y) the aggregate amount of the Allowed Class 5 Claims; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Electing Class 4 Holders shall not receive, in the aggregate, shares of New Class A Common Stock which constitute in excess of 3% of the Initial New Common Stock Issuance.  If the Electing Class 4 Holders would otherwise have received more than three percent (3%) in the aggregate of the Initial New Common Stock Issuance but for the proviso at the end of the prior sentence, then in lieu of the distribution provided in the prior sentence, each Electing Class 4 Holder shall receive (i) a Pro Rata share of three percent (3%) of the Initial New Common Stock Issuance, based on the ratio between such Holder’s Allowed Class 4 Claims and the aggregate Allowed Claims of all Electing Class 4 Holders; and (ii) Cash in an amount equal to the Allowed Claim of that Electing Class 4 Holder multiplied by ten percent (10%) multiplied by the following fraction (a) the numerator shall be (I) the number of shares of New Class A Common Stock which such Holder would have received but for the proviso contained at the end of the prior sentence, minus (II) the number of shares of New Class A Common Stock received by such Electing Class 4 Holder under the preceding clause (i), and (b) the denominator shall be the number of shares of New Class A Common Stock which such Holder would have received but for the proviso contained at the end of the prior sentence.  The New Class A Common Stock will be subject to certain transfer restrictions and the Shareholder Agreement.

 

The foregoing treatment shall be in full satisfaction of the Class 4 claimants’ Allowed Class 4 Claims.

 

6.5.                              Class 5 – Senior Subordinated Note Claims.  Class 5 consists of the Allowed Claims under the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior Subordinated Note Agreement.  Each Holder of an Allowed Class 5 Claim shall receive the number of shares of New Class A Common Stock which remains after deducting the number of shares of New Class A Common Stock issued to Electing Class 4 Holders from the Initial New Common Stock Issuance; provided, however, that the Class 5 Claimants will not receive less than 97% of the Initial New Common Stock Issuance without their prior consent.

 

36



 

6.6.                              Class 6 – Convertible Subordinated Note Claims.  Class 6 consists of Allowed Claims under the Convertible Subordinated Notes and the Convertible Subordinated Notes Agreement.  If Class 6 accepts the Plan, holders of Allowed Class 6 Claims who comply with Section 8.11 of the Plan to establish that they are Qualified Investors shall receive, on a Pro Rata basis among them, Class 6 Warrants enabling them to purchase, in the aggregate, such number of shares of New Class A Common Stock, subject to certain transfer restrictions, as would constitute, when added to the Initial New Common Stock Issuance, three percent of the sum of the New Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all Class 6 Warrants and the Initial New Common Stock Issuance.  Each Class 6 Warrant may be exercised immediately following the Effective Date and must be exercised (and shall expire) no later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date and shall entitle the holder to purchase one share of New Class A Common Stock at a strike price equal to the Warrant Exercise Price.  The foregoing treatment shall be in full satisfaction of all Allowed Class 6 claims.  If Class 6 does not accept the Plan or any Class 6 Holder does not satisfy the requirements of Section 8.11, Allowed Class 6 Claims shall be extinguished under the Plan, and the Holders of Class 6 Claims shall not receive or retain any property on account of such Claims.

 

6.7.                              Class 7 – Existing Preferred Stock.  Class 7 consists of the Allowed Interests of all holders of the Existing Preferred Stock, or any other preferred stock issued by InterDent.  The Interests of the Class 7 Interest Holders shall be extinguished under the Plan, and the Holders of Class 7 Interests shall not receive or retain any property on account of such Interests.

 

6.8.                              Class 8 – Existing InterDent Common Stock.  Class 8 consists of the Allowed Interests of all Holders of Existing InterDent Common Stock.  The Interests of the Class 8 Interest Holders shall be extinguished under the Plan, and the Holders of Class 8 Interests shall not receive or retain any property on account of such Interests.

 

6.9.                              Class 9 – ISC Common Stock.  Class 9 is comprised of the Interests of InterDent as the holder of all of the common stock of ISC.  Although the Holders of Class 9 Interests shall not receive or retain any property on account of such Interests, Reorganized InterDent shall retain all of the common stock of ISC under the Plan in consideration for the consent of the DDJCM

 

37



 

Entities and the LL Entities to the termination under the Plan of the Claims and Liens which they hold against ISC under the Senior Secured Credit Agreements, in their capacities as the Holders of Senior Secured Claims. (DDJCM and the LL Entities also shall receive additional consideration under the Plan for their Liens, Claims, the DIP Facility, the Exit Facility and their participation in the formulation of the Plan, as more fully set forth in various Sections of this Plan, including, inter alia, Sections 4.1.1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3, 6.5 and 8.12, 9.2.2 and Article XIII. of the Plan.)

 

VII.

 

ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF THE PLAN

 

7.1.                              Introduction.  PERSONS OR ENTITIES CONCERNED WITH CONFIRMATION OR THIS PLAN SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN ATTORNEYS BECAUSE THE LAW ON CONFIRMING A PLAN OF REORGANIZATION IS VERY COMPLEX.  The following discussion is intended solely for the purpose of alerting readers about basic confirmation issues, which they may wish to consider, as well as certain deadlines for filing claims.  The Debtors and Co-Sponsors CANNOT and DO NOT represent that the discussion contained below is a complete summary of the law on this topic.

 

Many requirements must be met before the Court can confirm a Plan.  Some of the requirements include that the Plan must be proposed in good faith, acceptance of the Plan, whether the Plan pays creditors at least as much as creditors would receive in a Chapter 7 liquidation, and whether the Plan is feasible.  The requirements described herein are not the only requirements for confirmation.

 

7.2.                              Who May Object to Confirmation of the PlanAny party in interest may object to the confirmation of the Plan, but as explained below not everyone is entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

 

7.3.                              Who May Vote to Accept/Reject the Plan.   A creditor or interest holder has a right to vote for or against the Plan if that creditor or interest holder has a claim which is both (1) allowed or allowed for voting purposes and (2) classified in an impaired class.

 

38



 

7.3.1.                     What Is an Allowed Claim/Interest.  As noted above, a creditor or interest holder must first have an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest to vote.  These terms are defined in Sections 2.1.6 and 2.1.7 of this Plan.

 

7.3.2.                     What Is an Impaired ClassA class is impaired if the Plan alters the legal, equitable, or contractual rights of the claims or interests in that class, other than the right to accelerate the claim upon certain kinds of defaults.  In this case, the Debtors believe that all classes are impaired except Class 3.

 

7.3.3.                     Who is Not Entitled to VoteThe following four types of claims are not entitled to vote: (1) claims that have been disallowed; (2) claims in unimpaired classes; (3) claims entitled to priority pursuant to Code sections 507(a)(1), (a)(2), and (a)(8); and (4) claims in classes that do not receive or retain any value under the Plan.  Claims in unimpaired classes are not entitled to vote because such classes are deemed to have accepted the Plan.  Claims entitled to priority pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 507(a)(1), (a)(2), and (a)(7) are not entitled to vote because such claims are not placed in classes and they are required to receive certain treatment specified by the Bankruptcy Code.  Claims in classes that do not receive or retain any property under the Plan do not vote because such classes are deemed to have rejected the Plan.  The Debtors believe that all classes are entitled to vote except Class 3, Class 7, and Class 8.  Class 7 and Class 8 are not receiving or retaining any property under the Plan; accordingly they are deemed to have voted to reject the Plan.  Class 3 is unimpaired under the Plan and consequently is not entitled to vote, because it is conclusively deemed to have accepted the Plan.

 

EVEN IF YOUR CLAIM IS OF THE TYPE DESCRIBED ABOVE, YOU MAY STILL HAVE A RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN.

 

7.3.4.                     Who Can Vote in More Than One ClassA creditor whose claim has been allowed in part as a secured claim and in part as an unsecured claim is entitled to accept or reject a Plan in both capacities by casting one ballot for the secured part of the claim and another ballot for the unsecured claim.  Also, a Creditor may otherwise hold Claims in more than one class (such as a Holder of Senior Secured Claims and Subordinated Note Claims), and may vote the Claims held in each Class.

 

39



 

7.3.5.                     Votes Necessary for a Class to Accept the PlanA class of claims is deemed to have accepted the Plan when more than one-half (1/2) in number and at least two-thirds (2/3) in dollar amount of the claims that actually voted, vote to accept the Plan.  A class of interests is deemed to have accepted the Plan when holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) in amount of the interest-holders of such class which actually vote, vote to accept the Plan.

 

7.3.6.                     Treatment of Nonaccepting ClassesAs noted above, even if there are impaired classes that do not accept the proposed Plan, the Court may nonetheless confirm the Plan if the nonaccepting classes are treated in the manner required by the Code and at least one impaired class of claims accepts the Plan.  The process by which a plan may be confirmed and become binding on non-accepting classes is commonly referred to as “cramdown.”  The Bankruptcy Code allows the Plan to be “crammed down” on nonaccepting classes of claims or interests if it meets all statutory requirements except the voting requirements of 1129(a)(8) and if the Plan does not “discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” with respect to each impaired class that has not voted to accept the Plan, as set forth in 11 U.S.C. § 1129(b) and applicable case law.

 

7.3.7.                     Request for Confirmation Despite Nonacceptance by Impaired Class(es).  The parties proposing this Plan will ask the Court to confirm this Plan by cramdown on any impaired class if such class does not vote to accept the Plan.

 

VIII.

 

MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTING THE PLAN

 

8.1.                              IntroductionThis section is intended to explain the means through which the Debtors intend to effectuate the recapitalization and reorganization provided for under the Plan, and it addresses how the Debtors intend to fund the obligations to creditors undertaken in the Plan.  It provides information regarding prospective corporate governance, funding sources for Plan obligations, the new equity interests being issued pursuant to the Plan, and other material issues bearing upon the performance of the Plan.

 

8.2.                              The Reorganized Debtors.  Each of the Debtors shall, as Reorganized Debtor, continue to exist after the Effective Date of a Plan as a separate legal entity, with all of the powers

 

40



 

of a corporation under the laws of their respective states of incorporation, and without prejudice to any right to alter or terminate such existence (whether by merger, acquisition, or otherwise) under such applicable state law.  Each Reorganized Debtor shall continue to have all corporate powers and rights accorded to the same under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, its Amended and Restated Articles of or Certificate of Incorporation or Charter and its Amended and Restated By-Laws.

41



 

Bylaws of each Reorganized Debtor shall be deemed effective as of the Effective Date by virtue of the Confirmation Order, without the need for any corporate, director or stockholder action.

 

8.5.                              Management/Board of Directors.  On the Effective Date, the operation of the Reorganized Debtors shall become the general responsibility of the Reorganized Debtors’ newly constituted Boards of Directors (the “New Boards”), who shall thereafter have the responsibility for the management and control of the Reorganized Debtors.  As of the Effective Date, the New Boards shall consist of five (5) members, three (3) individuals to be designated by DDJCM and two (2) individuals to be designated by an LL Entity, as identified in the Plan Documentary Supplement.  The initial senior officers of each of the Reorganized Debtors as of the Effective Date shall include Wayne Posey, Chief Executive Officer, and Ivar Chhina, Chief Operating Officer, pursuant to a new management contract to be negotiated with the Co-Sponsors and entered into as of the Effective Date.

 

8.6.                              Corporate Actions.  On the Effective Date, all actions contemplated by the Plan shall be deemed authorized and approved in all respects (subject to the provisions of the Plan) by virtue of the entry of the Confirmation Order, in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and applicable State law (including but not limited to section 303 of the Delaware General Corporations Law, to the extent applicable, and any analogous provision of the business corporation law or code of each other State in which any Reorganized Debtor is incorporated or organized) and without any requirement of further action by the stockholders, officers or directors of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, including, without limitation, the following: (a) the adoption and the filing with the Secretaries of State of the States of Delaware and Washington or other applicable State of incorporation of the Amended and Restated Articles or Certificate of Incorporation; (b) the adoption of the Amended and Restated By Laws; (c) the issuance by Reorganized InterDent of the New Common Stock, the New Preferred Stock, the New Warrants and the Class 6 Warrants; (d) the cancellation of the Existing InterDent Common Stock and the Existing Preferred Stock; (e) the execution and the delivery of, and the performance under, each of the Plan Documents and all documents and agreements contemplated by or relating to any of the foregoing; (f) the removal of all members of the respective Boards of Directors of the Debtors and

 

42

8.7.                              Revesting of Assets.  Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, on the Effective Date, all property of the Estates of the Debtors (including all rights of action held by such Estates, but excluding property that has been abandoned pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court) shall revest in each of the Debtors whose Estates owned such property or interest in property immediately prior to the Effective Date, free and clear of all Claims, Liens, charges, encumbrances, rights and Interests of Creditors and equity security holders.  As of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may operate their businesses and use, acquire, and dispose of property and settle and compromise Claims or Interests without the supervision of, or any authorization from, the Bankruptcy Court or the United States Trustee, and free of any restriction of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules, other than those restrictions specifically provided for in the Plan or the Confirmation Order.  As of the Effective Date, all property of the Reorganized Debtors shall be free and clear of all Claims, Liens, encumbrances, and other interests of creditors and Holders of Interests, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

 

8.8.                              Cancellation of Existing Securities and Agreements.  On the Effective Date, except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, (a) all existing Interests and any note, bond, indenture, or other instrument or document evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligation of or ownership interest in the Debtors, including, without limitation, the Existing

 

43



 

InterDent Common Stock, the Existing Preferred Stock, the Senior Secured Credit Agreements, the Senior Subordinated Note Agreements, the Senior Subordinated Notes, the Convertible Subordinated Notes Agreement, and the Convertible Subordinated Notes, will be cancelled, and (b) the obligations of, Claims against, and/or Interests in the Debtors under, relating, or pertaining to any agreements, indentures, certificates of designation, bylaws, or certificate or articles of incorporation or similar documents governing existing Interests and any note, bond, indenture, or other instrument or document evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligation of the Debtors, as the case may be, including, without limitation, the Existing InterDent Common Stock, the Existing Preferred Stock, the Senior Secured Credit Agreements, the Senior Subordinated  Note Agreements, the Senior Subordinated Notes, the Convertible Subordinated Notes Agreement, and the Convertible Subordinated Notes, will be released and discharged.

 

8.9.                              Issuance of New Preferred Stock.  On the Effective Date, the New Preferred Stock shall be issued to DDJCM, and an LL Entity, as required by Sections 6.1.2 and 6.1.3 of the Plan.

 

8.10.                        Issuance of New Common Stock.  On the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as practicable, New Class A Common Stock comprising the Initial New Common Stock Issuance will be issued to Electing Class 4 Holders and the Holders of Allowed Class 5 Claims in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.4.2 and 6.5 of this Plan, subject to an appropriate reserve for Disputed Claims in Class 4.  The New Common Stock shall have a par value of $       , and shall be entitled to the antidilution rights and subject to the transfer restrictions specified in the Amended and Restated InterDent Articles of Incorporation and/or the Amended and Restated By-Laws of Reorganized InterDent.

 

8.11.                        Issuance of New Warrants and Class 6 Warrants.  On the Effective Date, the New Warrants will be issued to an LL Entity in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.5 of the Plan.  With respect to the Class 6 Warrants, to ensure the availability of an appropriate exemption from state and federal securities laws registration if Bankruptcy Code § 1145 were determined not to apply to such Class 6 Warrants, to be entitled to distribution thereof, a Holder of an Allowed Class 6 Claim must execute and deliver to the Debtors, through their counsel, the completed Investor Qualification Materials not later than ten (10) days prior to the Confirmation

 

44



 

Hearing.  After receipt of the Investor Qualification Materials, the Debtors shall determine whether all Holders of Allowed Class 6 Claims who submitted Investor Qualification Materials are Qualified Holders. The Debtors’ determination of whether a Holder is a Qualified Holder, if made reasonably and in good faith, shall be final and conclusive.  Not later than five (5) days prior to the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors shall File a statement indicating whether there are any Non-Qualified Holders.  No Non-Qualified Holder will be issued any Class 6 Warrants absent determination by the Debtors that there exists with respect to such issuance an appropriate exemption from state and federal securities laws registration.

 

8.12.                        Exit Facility.  On the effective date, the DIP Facility will be paid-down by a post-confirmation revolving credit agreement under which the Reorganized Debtors will be the Borrowers, as follows:

 

8.12.1.               Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the financial terms of the Exit Facility (including covenants) will be similar to those applicable to the Restructured Senior Secured Claims under the New Credit Agreement.

 

8.12.2.               Except as may be permitted under Section 8.12.9 (in the event the Bank Lenders fund the Exit Facility and use a fee as part of their “all in” pricing of 12%), there are to be no fees charged with respect to the Exit Facility other than the termination fee of 2.5% of the commitment amount as provided for in the DIP Facility.

 

8.12.3.               The availability under the Exit Facility shall be $7.5 million, and any amounts drawn under the DIP Facility as of the Confirmation Date shall be repaid from, and deemed drawn under, the Exit Facility, with the balance of the $7.5 million available for borrowing under the Exit Facility.

 

8.12.4.               The maturity date of the Exit Facility shall be a date later than the maturity date for the repayment of the Restructured Senior Secured Claims under the New Credit Agreement; however, during its term, the Exit Facility will function as a revolving credit facility, which will be repaid from time-to-time and re-borrowed as needed by the Reorganized Debtors.

 

45



 

8.12.5.               The indebtedness under the Exit Facility shall be secured by, and share pari passu in, the collateral which secures the repayment of the Restructured Senior Secured Claims under the New Credit Agreement.

 

8.12.6.               Mandatory repayment of the obligations under the Exit Facility and New Credit Agreement shall be required under each in amounts equal to a pro rata share, based on the amount then outstanding under the Exit Facility and the New Credit Agreement, respectively, in an amount equal to the amount by which the sum of the following amounts exceeds $3 million in any calendar year: (i) the net sale proceeds from all asset sales other than sales in the ordinary course of business, (ii) insurance and condemnation proceeds received by the Reorganized Debtors, and (iii) other proceeds of or from collateral not received in the ordinary course of business.  Such repayments will permanently reduce availability under the Exit Facility.  With respect to the New Credit Agreement, such repayments will be applied in the inverse order of maturity such that proceeds are applied against the back end of the loan payments.

 

8.12.7.               There will be no prepayment penalties or other like terms which would hinder the refinancing of the Exit Facility.

 

8.12.8.               The interest rate under the Exit Facility shall not exceed 12% per annum.

 

8.12.9.               The DIP Lenders shall provide and be the lenders under the Exit Facility; provided, however, that the Bank Lenders shall have the option to fund the Exit Facility (an option exercisable in the Bank Lenders’ sole and absolute discretion) with pricing at 12% per annum “all in”, and in the event the Bank Lenders agree to fund the Exit Facility on terms no more onerous that those of the DIP Facility, the DIP Lenders will waive the termination fee equal to 2.5% of the commitment under the DIP Facility.  By giving written notice to the Debtors and the DIP Lenders, the Bank Lenders shall exercise their option to fund the Exit Facility no less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of the confirmation hearing, provided that the Debtors have delivered to the Bank Lenders the necessary information for the Bank Lenders to make an informed decision in a reasonable amount of time prior to the date of the confirmation hearing.

 

46



 

8.13.                        New Shareholder Agreement.  On the Effective Date, Reorganized InterDent and the holders of all or substantially all of the New InterDent Securities may be required to execute and deliver the New Shareholder Agreement.

 

IX.

 

DISTRIBUTIONS

 

9.1.                              Distribution Agent.  Reorganized InterDent shall serve as the Distribution Agent for distributions to be made to holders of Allowed Claims.  The Distribution Agent may employ one or more sub agents on such terms and conditions as it may agree in its discretion.  The Distribution Agent shall not be required to provide any bond in connection with the making of any distributions pursuant to the Plan.

 

9.2.                              Distributions.

 

9.2.1.                     Dates of Distributions.  Except as provided in Section 9.2.4 hereof, any distribution required to be made on the Effective Date shall be deemed timely if made as soon as practicable after such date and, in any event, within thirty (30) days after such date.  Any distribution required to be made upon a Disputed Claim becoming an Allowed Claim and no longer being a Disputed Claim shall be deemed timely if made as soon as practicable thereafter.  Distributions of New Class A Common Stock to Electing Class 4 Holders shall be made on distribution dates which shall occur at least quarterly, beginning three months after the Effective Date, until the distribution of New Class A Common Stock to such Holders is completed.

 

9.2.2.                     Limitation on Liability.  Neither the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Co-Sponsors, their respective Affiliates, nor any of their respective employees, members, officers, directors, agents, or professionals or Affiliates shall be liable for (i) any acts or omissions (except for gross negligence or willful misconduct) in connection with implementing the distribution provisions of this Plan and the making or withholding of distributions pursuant to the Plan, or (ii) any change in the value of distributions made pursuant to the Plan resulting from any delays in making such distributions in accordance with the Plan’s terms (including but not limited to any delays caused by the resolution of Disputed Claims).

 

47



 

9.2.3.                     Distributions to DDJCM and LL Entities.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the distributions of New Preferred Stock, New Warrants and New Class A Common Stock to be made to DDJCM and the LL Entities pursuant to the Plan shall be delivered on or before the second Business Day after the Effective Date, by the Reorganized Debtors directly to DDJCM and the LL Entities.

 

9.3.                              Old Instruments and Securities.

 

9.3.1.                     Surrender and Cancellation of Instruments and Securities.  As a condition to receiving any distribution pursuant, to the Plan, each Person holding any note or other instrument or security (collectively “Instruments or Securities” and individually an “Instrument or Security”) evidencing, an existing Claim against or in a Debtor must surrender such Instrument or Security to the Distribution Agent.

 

9.3.2.                     Rights of Persons Holding Old Instruments and Securities.  As of the Effective Date, and whether or not surrendered by the holder thereof. (a) all Existing Common Stock, Existing Preferred Stock, Senior Subordinated Notes, Convertible Subordinated Notes and all other Instruments and Securities evidencing any Claims or Interests (except for the Common Stock of ISC) shall be deemed automatically cancelled and deemed void and of no further force or effect, without any further action on the part of any person, and any Claims or Interests under or evidenced by such Existing Common Stock, Existing Preferred Stock, Senior Subordinated Notes, Convertible Subordinated Notes or other Instruments or Securities (other than Common Stock of ISC) shall be deemed discharged.  All options to purchase any stock of InterDent shall be deemed rejected, cancelled and terminated as of the Petition Date.

9.4.                              De Minimis Distributions and Fractional Shares.  No Cash payment of less than ten dollars ($ 10) shall be made by the Reorganized Debtors to any Holder of Claims unless a request therefor is made in writing to the Reorganized Debtors.  No fractional shares of New Common Stock shall be distributed; any entity that otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share distribution under this Plan shall instead receive an amount of shares rounded down to the next whole number.  Whenever payment of a fraction of a cent would otherwise be called for, the actual payment shall reflect a rounding down of such fraction to the nearest whole cent.  Any Cash, securities or other property that is not distributed as a consequence of this section shall, after the last distribution on account of Allowed Claims in the applicable Class, be treated as “Unclaimed Property” under the Plan.

 

9.5.                              Delivery of Distributions.  Except as provided in Section 9.7 with respect to Unclaimed Property, distributions to holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Administrative Claims shall be distributed by mail as follows:  (1) with respect to each Holder of an Allowed Claim that has filed a proof of claim, at the address for such holder as maintained by the official claims agent for the Debtors; (2) with respect to each Holder of an Allowed Claim that has not filed a proof of claim, at the address reflected on the Schedules filed by the Debtors, provided, however, that if the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors have received a written notice of a change of address for such Holder, the address set forth in such notice shall be used; or (3) with respect to each Holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim, at such address as the Holder may specify in writing.

 

9.6.                              Undeliverable Distributions.  If the distribution of Cash or New InterDent Securities to the Holder of any Allowed Claim or Allowed Administrative Claim is returned to the Reorganized Debtors as undeliverable (any such distribution being hereinafter referred to as “Unclaimed Property”), no further distribution shall be made to such Holder unless and until the Reorganized Debtors are notified in writing of such Holder’s then current address.  Subject to the remainder of this Section and the following Section 9.7, Unclaimed Property shall remain in the possession of the Reorganized Debtors pursuant to this Section, and shall be set aside and (in the case of Cash) held in a segregated interest bearing account (as to Cash Unclaimed Property) to be

 

49



 

maintained by the Distribution Agent until such time as the subject distribution becomes deliverable.  Nothing contained in the Plan shall require the Reorganized Debtors or any other Person to attempt to locate such Person.

 

9.7.                              Disposition of Unclaimed Property.  If the Person entitled thereto notifies the Reorganized Debtors of such Person’s claim to the distribution of Unclaimed Property within nine (9) months following the Effective Date, the Unclaimed Property distributable to such Person, together with any interest or dividends earned thereon, shall be paid or distributed to such Person on the next Distribution Date.  Any Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Administrative Claim that does not assert a claim in writing for Unclaimed Property held by the Reorganized Debtors within nine (9) months after the Effective Date shall no longer have any claim to or interest in such Unclaimed Property, and shall be forever barred from receiving any distributions under this Plan or otherwise from the Reorganized Debtors.  In such cases any property held for distribution on account of such Claims or Administrative Claims shall be retained by the Reorganized Debtors as follows: pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 347(b), any undistributed Cash shall be the property of Reorganized InterDent, any undistributed New InterDent Securities shall be the property of Reorganized InterDent (and may be cancelled by Reorganized InterDent), free from any restrictions thereon, and such undistributed Cash or securities shall not be subject to the unclaimed property or escheat laws of any State or other governmental unit.

10.2.                        Treatment of Disputed Claims.

 

10.2.1.               No Distribution Pending AllowanceIf any portion of a Claim is a Disputed Claim, no payment or distribution provided for under the Plan shall be made on account of such Claim unless and until such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim and is no longer a Disputed Claim.

 

10.2.2.               Distribution After Allowance.  On the next Distribution Date following the date on which a Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim and is no longer a Disputed Claim, the Distribution Agent shall distribute to the Person holding such Claim any Cash or New Common Stock that would have been distributable to such Person if on the Effective Date such Claim had been an Allowed Claim and not a Disputed Claim.

 

10.2.3.               Reserves for Disputed Claims.  In the event that Disputed Claims in Class 4 are pending as to creditors who have elected the Class 4 Stock Alternative, the Distribution Agent shall establish reasonable reserves for such Disputed Claims and the aggregate New Class A Common Stock to be distributed to holders of Allowed Class 4 Claims who have elected the Class 4 Stock Alternative and Allowed Class 5 Claims on any Distribution Date shall be adjusted to reflect such reserves.  The Distribution Agent may move the Bankruptcy Court for approval of its determination to reserve certain amounts.

lease will be delayed until the Court makes a determination on this issue.  To the extent that an executory contract or unexpired lease has previously been rejected by the Debtors pursuant to an order of the Court, such rejection shall not be affected by the Plan.

 

11.3.                        Retention of Property Rights By Reorganized Debtors.  To the extent that a matter that provides the Debtors with property rights does not constitute an executory contract or unexpired lease, or the Debtors have obtained property rights under the executed portion of an executory contract or unexpired lease, rejection shall not constitute an abandonment by the Debtors of any such property rights.

 

11.4.                        Bar Date for Rejection Damages.  Any Claim arising out of the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, their Affiliates, their successors or Estates, or their properties, and shall not be entitled to any distribution under the Plan, unless a proof of claim for such Claim is filed and served on the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors within thirty (30) days after the earlier of (a) the date of entry of the order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the rejection of the executory contract or unexpired lease, or (b) the Confirmation Date.

17.10.                  Severability of Plan Provisions.  If, prior to the Confirmation Date, any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be illegal, impermissible, invalid, void or unenforceable, or otherwise to constitute grounds for denying confirmation of the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court shall, with the consent of the Debtors, the Co-Sponsors and, as to any matter affecting the treatment of the Allowed Secured Claims of the Bank Lenders, the Bank Lenders have the power to interpret, modify or delete such term or provision (or portions thereof) to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, and such term or provision shall then be operative as interpreted, modified or deleted.  Notwithstanding any such interpretation, modification or deletion, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated by such interpretation, modification or deletion.

 

17.11.                  No WaiverThe failure of the Debtors or any other Person to object to any Claim for purposes of voting shall not be deemed a waiver of the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ right to object to or examine such Claim, in whole or in part.

17.15.                  Post-Confirmation Status Report.  Within 180 days following the entry of the Confirmation Order, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors shall file a status report with the Court explaining what progress has been made toward consummation of the confirmed Plan.  The status report shall be served on the United States Trustee, the twenty largest unsecured creditors, and those parties who have requested special notice.  Unless otherwise ordered, further status reports shall be filed every 180 days and served on the same entities.

 

17.16.                  Post-Confirmation Conversion/DismissalA creditor or party in interest may bring a motion to convert or dismiss the case under § 1112(b), after the Plan is confirmed, if there is a default in performing the Plan.  The Debtors and Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to object to any motion for conversion or dismissal.  If the Court orders any of the Cases converted to Chapter 7 after the Plan is confirmed, then all property that had been property of the Chapter 11 Estate, and that has not been disbursed pursuant to the Plan, will revest in the Chapter 7 estate.  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 Court during this case.
