In addition, in accordance with Section I.A of the Plan, any term used in the Plan or this Confirmation Order that is not defined in the Plan or this Confirmation Order, but that is used in the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules, shall have the meaning given to that term in the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules, as applicable. In accordance with Section III.A of this Confirmation Order, if there is any direct conflict between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Confirmation Order, the terms of this Confirmation Order shall control. A copy of the Plan (without the exhibits thereto) is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference. (2) This Confirmation Order constitutes the Bankruptcy Court's findings of fact and conclusions of law under Fed. R. Civ. P. 52, as made applicable herein by Bankruptcy Rules 7052 and 9014. Any finding of fact shall constitute a finding of fact even if it is stated as a conclusion of law, and any conclusion of law shall constitute a conclusion of law even if it is stated as a finding of fact. I. FINDINGS OF FACT. A. JURISDICTION AND VENUE. On November 14, 2000, the Debtors commenced their respective Reorganization Cases by filing voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors were and are qualified to be debtors under section 109(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. ICG Communications, Inc., the direct or indirect parent of each of the Affiliate Debtors, is domiciled in Delaware. Accordingly, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ss. 1408, venue in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware for these chapter 11 cases was proper as of the Petition Date and continues to be proper. B. COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 1129 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. 1. Section 1129(a)(1) Compliance of the Plan with Applicable Provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, as required by section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 1122 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. a. Sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1)-(4) Classification and Treatment of Claims and Interests. Pursuant to sections 1122(a) and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article II of the Plan designates Classes of Claims and Interests, other than Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims.(3) As required by section 1122(a), each Class of Claims and Interests contains only Claims or Interests that are substantially similar to the other Claims or Interests within that Class. The Plan designates eleven Classes of Claims and Interests, designated as Classes H-1 through H-5 and S-1 through S-6. Such classification is proper under section 1122(a) of the Bankruptcy Code because such Claims and Interests have differing rights among each other and against the Debtors' assets or differing interests in the Debtors or their reorganization. Additionally, in accordance with section 1122(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan provides for two Classes of Unsecured Claims of $5,000 or less, one each against the Holdings Debtors and the Services Debtors. This classification is reasonable and necessary for administrative convenience. Pursuant to sections 1123(a)(2) and 1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article II of the Plan specifies all Classes of Claims and Interests that are not impaired under the Plan. Article III specifies the treatment of all Classes of Claims and Interests that are impaired under the Plan. Pursuant to section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan also provides the same treatment for each Claim or Interest within a particular Class, unless the holder of a Claim or Interest agrees to less favorable treatment of its Claim or Interest. -------- (3) Pursuant to section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, classes of Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims are not required to be classified. b. Section 1123(a)(5) Adequate Means for Implementation of the Plan. Article V and various other provisions of the Plan provide adequate means for the Plan's implementation. Those provisions relate to, among other things: (a) the continued corporate existence of the Debtors (subject to the Restructuring Transactions) and the vesting of the Debtors' assets in the Reorganized Debtors; (b) the cancellation of Old Securities and Agreements; (c) the corporate constituent documents that will govern the Reorganized Debtors; (d) the selection of the initial directors and officers for the Reorganized Debtors; (e) the entry into all appropriate and necessary documentation to obtain the Exit Financing, including the issuance of the New Convertible Notes and entry into the New Senior Subordinated Term Loan; (f) the preservation of Litigation Claims by the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors; (g) the entry into the Registration Rights Agreement; (h) the settlement with Lucent Technologies, Inc. ("Lucent"), and the settlement with Cisco Systems, Inc. and Cisco Capital ("Cisco"); (i) the continuation of certain employee, retiree and workers' compensation benefits and the implementation of the Management Option Plan; (j) the release of liens; (k) the distribution of cash pursuant to the Plan; (l) the execution, delivery and implementation of all documents, and the granting of security interests in and liens upon substantially all of the assets of the Reorganized Debtors, as are necessary and appropriate in connection with the consummation of the credit facility by and among the Reorganized Debtors and the holders of the New Secured Notes (the "New Credit Facility"), including without limitation (i) a credit agreement with the holders of the Secured Lender Claims (the "New Credit Agreement"), (ii) a security agreement with the collateral agent for the holders of the Secured Lender Claims (the "New Security Agreement"), (iii) UCC financing statements, (iv) the guarantees to be executed by those Subsidiaries as required by Section 5.01(j) of the New Credit Agreement (the "New Guarantees"), (v) a subordination agreement with the agent for the holders of the Secured Lender Claims, the parties that will be holders of the New Convertible Notes and Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. ("CCM") and any other financial institutions that are parties to the New Senior Subordinated Term Loan (the "Subordination Agreement") and (vi) such other documents as are necessary and appropriate in connection with the New Credit Facility (collectively, including the New Credit Agreement, the New Security Agreement, such UCC financing statements, the New Guarantees and the Subordination Agreement, the "New Loan Documents"); (m) the issuance and distribution of the New Common Shares, New Secured Notes and New Holdings Creditor Warrants; and (n) the adoption, execution, delivery and implementation of all contracts, instruments, releases and other agreements or documents related to the foregoing. Moreover, the Debtors will have sufficient cash to make all payments required to be made on the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of the Plan. c. Section 1123(a)(6) Prohibition Against the Issuance of Nonvoting Equity Securities and Adequate Provisions for Voting Power of Classes of Securities. Section 5.3 of the Plan provides that the certificates of incorporation and the by-laws or similar constituent documents of Reorganized ICG and each of the other Reorganized Debtors, among other things, will prohibit the issuance of nonvoting equity securities to the extent required by section 1123(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Such prohibitory provisions have been incorporated into Exhibit A to the Plan. In light of the foregoing, the Plan satisfies the requirement of section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code that a plan of reorganization provide for an appropriate distribution of voting power among the classes of securities possessing voting power. d. Section 1123(a)(7) - Selection of Directors and Officers in a Manner Consistent with the Interests of Creditors and Equity Security Holders and Public Policy. The Plan complies with section 1123(a)(7) by properly and adequately disclosing or otherwise identifying the procedures for determining the identity and affiliations of all individuals or entities proposed to serve on or after the Effective Date as officers and directors of Reorganized ICG. Moreover, the Plan ensures that the selection of the proposed compensation and indemnification arrangements for such persons are consistent with the interests of creditors and public policy. The existing senior officers of ICG will serve initially in their same capacities after the Effective Date for Reorganized ICG. The initial board of directors of Reorganized ICG will consist of nine (9) directors. The Chief Executive Officer shall be a director. CCM, W.R. Huff Asset Management Co., L.L.C. ("Huff") and the Creditors' Committee, respectively, have designated the persons set forth on Exhibit E hereto as members of the initial board of directors. In light of the foregoing, the manner of selection of the initial directors and officers of the Reorganized Debtors and the manner of selection of successor directors and officers of the Reorganized Debtors, as set forth in the certificates of incorporation and by-laws or similar constituent documents of the applicable Reorganized Debtor and applicable state law, are consistent with the interests of the holders of Claims and Interests and public policy. e. Section 1123(b)(1)-(2) Impairment of Claims and Interests and Assumption, Assumption and Assignment or Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. In accordance with section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article II of the Plan impairs or leaves unimpaired, as the case may be, each Class of Claims and Interests. In accordance with section 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article VII of the Plan provides that each of the Debtors will be deemed to have assumed every executory contract and unexpired lease to which it is a party, including those listed on Schedule 7.1 of the Plan, unless such contract or lease (i) was previously assumed or rejected by such Debtor, (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms, or (iii) is listed on Schedule 7.3 of the Plan. f. Section 1123(b)(3) Retention, Enforcement and Settlement of Claims Held by the Debtors. Section 5.10 of the Plan provides that, except as provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument, release or other agreement entered into or delivered in connection with the Plan, in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Debtors will retain and may enforce, sue on, settle, or compromise (or decline to do any of the foregoing) all Litigation Claims, that the Debtors or the Estates may hold against any Person or entity. The Reorganized Debtors or their successors may pursue such retained claims, demands, rights or causes of action, as appropriate, in accordance with the best interests of the Reorganized Debtors or their successors holding such claims, demands, rights or causes of action. g. Section 1123(b)(5) Modification of the Rights of Holders of Claims. Article III of the Plan modifies, or leaves unaffected, as the case may be, the rights of holders of each Class of Claims. h. Section 1123(b)(6) Other Provisions Not Inconsistent with Applicable Provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan includes additional appropriate provisions that are not inconsistent with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including: (i) the provisions of Article VIII of the Plan governing distributions on account of Allowed Claims; (ii) the provisions of Article IX of the Plan establishing procedures for resolving Disputed Claims and making distributions on account of such Disputed Claims once resolved; (iii) the provisions of Article VI of the Plan providing for the substantive consolidation of the Estates that comprise the Holdings Debtors, and the Estates that comprise the Services Debtors, respectively for the purpose of implementing the Plan; (iv) the provisions of Section 12.9 of the Plan regarding the discharge of Claims and termination of Interests; (v) the provisions of Article XI of the Plan regarding retention of jurisdiction by the Court over certain matters after the Effective Date; and (vi) the provisions of Article V regarding the means for implementation of the Plan. i. Section 1123(d) Cure of Defaults. Section 7.2 of the Plan provides for Cure with respect to each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Plan in accordance with section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. 2. Section 1129(a)(2) Compliance with Applicable Provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors have complied with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, as required by section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, including section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules 3017 and 3018. The Disclosure Statement and the procedures by which the Ballots for acceptance or rejection of the Plan were solicited and tabulated were fair, properly conducted and in accordance with sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 3017 and 3018 and the Disclosure Statement Order. Consistent with Section 12.11 of the Plan, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Creditors' Committee, the Claims Resolution Committee, the Indenture Trustees and the Prepetition Secured Lenders and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, members and professionals, as applicable, have acted in "good faith," within the meaning of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. 3. Section 1129(a)(3) Proposal of the Plan in Good Faith. The Debtors proposed the Plan in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law. In determining that the Plan has been proposed in good faith, the Bankruptcy Court has examined the totality of the circumstances surrounding the formulation of the Plan. Based on the uncontroverted evidence presented at the Confirmation Hearing, the Bankruptcy Court finds and concludes that the Plan has been proposed with the legitimate and honest purpose of reorganizing the business affairs of each of the Debtors and maximizing the returns available to creditors of the Debtors. Consistent with the overriding purpose of chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan is designed to allow the Debtors to reorganize by providing them with a capital structure that will allow them to satisfy their obligations with sufficient liquidity and capital resources and to fund necessary capital expenditures and otherwise conduct their businesses. Moreover, the Plan itself and the arms' length negotiations among the Debtors, the Creditors' Committee, the Holdings SubCommittee, the Prepetition Secured Lenders and the Debtors' other constituencies leading to the Plan's formulation, as well as the overwhelming support of creditors for the Plan, provide independent evidence of the Debtors' good faith in proposing the Plan. 4. Section 1129(a)(4) Bankruptcy Court Approval of Certain Payments as Reasonable. Section 12.1 of the Plan makes all payments on account of Professionals' Fee Claims for services rendered prior to the Effective Date subject specifically to the requirements of sections 327, 328, 330, 331, 503(b) and 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable, by requiring Professionals to file final fee applications with the Court. The Bankruptcy Court will review the reasonableness of such applications under sections 328 and 330 of the Bankruptcy Code and any applicable case law. Article XI of the Plan provides that the Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction after the Effective Date to hear and determine all applications for allowance of compensation or reimbursement of expenses authorized pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or the Plan. All fees and expenses of Professionals authorized to be paid periodically pursuant to the prior orders of the Bankruptcy Court shall remain subject to final review for reasonableness by the Bankruptcy Court. 5. Section 1129(a)(5) Disclosure of Identity of Proposed Management, Compensation of Insiders and Consistency of Management Proposals with the Interests of Creditors and Public Policy. Section 5.7 of the Plan provides for the manner of selection of the initial board of directors and officers of Reorganized ICG, as well as the manner for selecting the boards of directors for the other Reorganized Debtors (which are subsidiaries of Reorganized ICG). Because initial board of directors will be comprised primarily of directors selected by CCM, Huff and the Creditors' Committee, the appointment or continuance of the proposed directors and officers is consistent with the interests of holders of Claims and Interests and public policy. 6. Section 1129(a)(6) Approval of Rate Changes. The Debtors' current businesses do not involve the establishment of rates over which any regulatory commission has jurisdiction or will have jurisdiction after Confirmation. 7. Section 1129(a)(7) Best Interests of Holders of Claims and Interests. With respect to each impaired Class of Claims or Interests for each Debtor, each holder of a Claim or Interest in such impaired Class has accepted the Plan or, as demonstrated by the liquidation analysis included as Appendix C to the Disclosure Statement and the Panagos Declaration and the Buckfire Declaration, will receive or retain under the Plan on account of such Claim or Interest property of a value, as of the Effective Date, that is not less than the amount such holder would receive or retain if the Debtors were liquidated on the Effective Date under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. 8. Section 1129(a)(8) Acceptance of the Plan by Each Impaired Class. Pursuant to sections 1124 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code: (a) as indicated in Article II of the Plan, Classes H-1, H-2, S-1 and S-2 are Classes of unimpaired Claims or Interests and (b) as indicated in the Voting Declaration, all impaired Classes of Claims (Classes H-3, H-4, S-3, S-4 and S-5) have accepted the Plan. Because the holders of Interests in Classes H-5 and S-6 will not receive or retain any property on account of such Interests, Classes H-5 and S-6 are deemed not to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Notwithstanding the lack of compliance with section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to Classes H-5 and S-6, the Plan is confirmable because, as described in Section I.B.14 below, the Plan satisfies the "cramdown" requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to such Classes. 9. Section 1129(a)(9) Treatment of Claims Entitled to Priority Pursuant to Section 507(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan provides for treatment of Allowed Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims and Priority Claims in the manner required by section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code. 10. Section 1129(a)(10) Acceptance By at Least One Impaired Class. As indicated in the Voting Declaration and as reflected in the record of the Confirmation Hearing, at least one Class of Claims or Interests that is impaired under the Plan has accepted the Plan, determined without including any acceptance of the Plan by any insider (i.e., each of Classes H-3, H-4, S-3, S-4 and S-5). 11. Section 1129(a)(11)-- Feasibility of the Plan. Although the Debtors' businesses are highly competitive, and although it is impossible to predict with certainty the precise future profitability of the Debtors' businesses or the industries and markets in which the Debtors operate, Confirmation is not likely to be followed by the liquidation of, or the need for further financial reorganization of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or any successor to the Reorganized Debtors under the Plan, as demonstrated by the Panagos Declaration and the description of the Debtors' financial projections contained in the Disclosure Statement. Upon the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors will have sufficient cash flow and capital resources to pay their liabilities as they become due and to satisfy their capital needs for the conduct of their businesses. 12. Section 1129(a)(12)-- Payment of Bankruptcy Fees. Section 12.3 of the Plan provides that, on or before the Effective Date, Administrative Claims for fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ss. 1930 will be paid in cash. After the Effective date, the Reorganized Debtors shall pay all required fees pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ss. 1930 or any other statutory requirement and comply with all statutory reporting requirements. 13. Section 1129(a)(13) -- Retiree Benefits. Section 5.6(a) of the Plan provides that all employee compensation and benefit plans of the Debtors, including programs subject to sections 1114 and 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code, entered into before or after the Petition Date and not since terminated are deemed to be, and will be treated as though they are, executory contracts that are assumed under Section 7.1 of the Plan. 14. Section 1129(b) -- Confirmation of the Plan Over the Nonacceptance of Impaired Classes. Pursuant to section 1129(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan may be confirmed notwithstanding that Interests in Classes H-5 and S-6 are impaired and are deemed not to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bank ruptcy Code. Other than the requirement in section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code that Classes H-5 and S-6 accept the Plan, all of the requirements of section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code have been met. The Plan does not discriminate unfairly and is fair and equitable with respect to Classes H-5 and S-6. No holders of Interests junior to the Interests in Classes H-5 and S-6 will receive or retain any property under the Plan and, as evidenced by the valuations and estimates contained in the Disclosure Statement and in the Buckfire Declaration, no Class of Claims or Interests senior to Classes H-5 and S-6 is receiving more than full payment on account of the Claims and Interests in such Classes. 15. Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a). The Plan is dated and identifies the entities submitting the Plan. 16. Section 1129(d) -- Purpose of Plan. The primary purpose of the Plan is not avoidance of taxes or avoid ance of the requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act, and there has been no objection Filed by any governmental unit asserting such avoidance. C. SETTLEMENTS AND RELEASES 1. Settlement of Intercompany Claims Between the Holdings Debtors and the Services Debtors. As demonstrated by the Curran Declaration, the allocation of recover ies to holders of General Unsecured Claims against the Holdings Debtors and the Services Debtors, respectively, in settlement and compromise of potential disputes with respect to intercompany claims issues among the Holdings Debtors and Services Debtors is fair, reasonable and appropriate in light of the underlying facts and circumstances. The substantial analysis and good faith negotiations of interested parties, including the Debtors, Creditors' Committee and the Holdings' SubCommit tee, as well as the overwhelming support for the Plan by holders of Claims in Classes H-4 and S-4, supports this conclusion. 2. Settlements with Cisco and Lucent. As demonstrated by the Curran Declaration, the benefits to be received by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and their respective creditors as a result of (i) the settlement with Cisco contained in Section 5.14 and Schedule 5.14 to the Plan and (ii) the settlement with Lucent contained in Section 5.13 and Schedule 5.13 and other related documents are fair, reasonable and appropriate in light of the relevant facts and circumstances underlying each such settlement. 3. Fairness of Releases. The releases set forth in Section 5.12 of the Plan are appropriate. The Debtors are releasing certain parties from claims owned by the Debtors. No creditor or other third party is being deemed to release any non-derivative claim it may have against a third party, unless it affirmatively and voluntarily chose to do so by making an election on its ballot to vote on the Plan. Parties not voting on the Plan or that did not affirmatively elect to grant releases on their Plan ballots are not deemed to have granted any releases of individual claims they may possess against non-Debtors (if any). D. SATISFACTION OF CONDITIONS TO CONFIRMATION. Each of the conditions precedent to the entry of this Confirmation Order, as set forth in Section 10.1 of the Plan, has been satisfied. E. SUBSTANTIVE CONSOLIDATION The substantive consolidation of the Estates that comprise the Holdings Debtors and the Estates that comprise the Services Debtors, respectively, for the purpose of implementing the Plan, as described in Article VI of the Plan, will promote a more equitable distribution of the Debtors' assets and is appropriate under section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code. Among the factors supporting the substantive consolidation of the Debtors' Estates, as demonstrated by the Curran Declaration and the Panagos Declaration, are the following: (1) accurately segregating the assets and liabilities of each respective Debtor, if possible, would be immensely difficult and costly (2) the Debtors individual entity books and records were kept based upon accounting principles that do not reflect, in material ways, fair market value of assets or liabilities; (3) there are thousands of individual transfers or transactions within the Holdings Debtors and within the Services Debtors that would have to be separately analyzed to properly view each separate entities' assets and liabilities on a fair market basis; (4) there is no evidence that any creditors will be prejudiced by the aggregation of the assets and liabilities of the Estates that comprise the Holdings Debtors and the Services Debtors, respectively, and (5) no creditor or other party has objected to this limited substantive consolidation, after ample notice and opportunity to do so. II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW. A. JURISDICTION AND VENUE. The Bankruptcy Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ss.ss. 157 and 1334. This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ss. 157(b)(2). The Debtors were and are qualified to be debtors under section 109 of the Bank ruptcy Code. Venue of the Reorganization Cases in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware was proper as of the Petition Date, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ss. 1408, and continues to be proper. B. EXEMPTIONS FROM SECURITIES LAWS. Pursuant to section 1125(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors' transmittal of Plan solicitation packages, their solicitation of acceptances of the Plan and their issuance and distribution of the New Common Stock, the New Holdings Creditor Warrants, the New Secured Notes and the Management Options are not and will not be governed by or subject to any otherwise applicable law, rule or regulation governing the solicitation or acceptance of a plan of reorganization or the offer, issuance, sale or purchase of securities. Accordingly, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and professionals (acting in such capacity) are entitled to the protection of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant to section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, the offering, issuance and distribution of the New Common Stock, the New Holdings Creditor Warrants and the Management Options and any other securities issuable pursuant to the Plan (except as otherwise set forth in the Disclosure Statement) shall be exempt from section 5 of the Securities Act and any state or local law requiring registration prior to the offering, issuance, distribution or sale of securities. Pursuant to and to the fullest extent permitted by section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, the resale of any New Common Stock, New Holdings Creditor Warrants, Management Options and any other securities issuable pursuant to the Plan (except as otherwise described in the Disclosure Statement) shall be exempt from section 5 of the Securities Act and any state or local law requiring registration prior to the offering, issuance, distribution or sale of securities. The New Secured Notes are issued under the New Credit Agreement and thus are not securities for the purposes of Bankruptcy Code section 1145. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the New Secured Notes are deemed to be securities, the offering, issuance and distribution of the New Secured Notes, and the resale thereof, shall be exempt from section 5 of the Securities Act and any state or local law requiring registration prior to the offering, issuance, distribution or sale of securities. C. EXEMPTIONS FROM TAXATION. Pursuant to section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, the issuance, transfer, or exchange of a security, or the making or delivery of an instrument of transfer under a plan confirmed under section 1129 of this title, may not be taxed under any law imposing a stamp tax or similar tax. D. COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 1129 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. As set forth in Section I above, the Plan complies in all respects with the applicable requirements of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. E. APPROVAL OF THE SETTLEMENTS AND RELEASES PRO VIDED UNDER THE PLAN AND CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS. Pursuant to section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bank ruptcy Rule 9019(a), the settlements, compromises, releases, waivers, discharges and injunctions set forth in the Plan, the settlement of intercompany claims among the Holdings Debtors and the Services Debtors, the settlement with Cisco and the settlement with Lucent, are approved as integral parts of the Plan and are fair, equitable, reasonable and in the best interests of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and their respective Estates and the holders of Claims and Interests. In approving the settlements, compromises, releases, waivers, discharges and injunctions of and from such potential claims, as described above, the Bankruptcy Court has considered: (a) the balance of the likelihood of success of claims asserted by the Debtors or other claimants against the likelihood of success of the defenses or counterclaims possessed by the Debtors, other claimants or other potential defendants; (b) the complexity, cost and delay of litigation that would result in the absence of these settlements, compromises, releases, waivers, discharges and injunctions; (c) the lack of objections by any creditor or party in interest to the settlements, compromises, releases, waivers, discharges and injunctions and the acceptance of the Plan by an overwhelming majority of the holders of Claims, as set forth in the Voting Declaration; and (d) that the Plan, which gives effect to the settlements, compromises, releases, waivers, discharges and injunctions, is the product of extensive arms' length negotiations among the Debtors, the Creditors' Committee, the Holdings SubCommittee, the Prepetition Secured Lenders and other parties in interest. All settlements, compromises, releases, waivers, discharges and injunctions of claims and causes of action set forth in the Plan, which are approved herein as an integral part of the Plan and as fair, equitable, reasonable and in the best interests of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and their respective Estates and the holders of Claims and Interests, are effective and binding in accordance with their terms. F. AGREEMENTS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS. The Debtors have disclosed all material facts regarding: (1) the Restructuring Transactions authorized by Section 5.4 of the Plan; (2) the adoption of new or amended and restated certificates of incorporation and by-laws or similar constituent documents for the Reorganized Debtors; (3) the initial selection of directors and officers of the Reorganized Debtors; (4) the entry into the Exit Financ ing, including the New Senior Subordinated Term Loan and the New Convertible Notes; (5) the distribution of cash pursuant to the Plan; (6) the issuance and distribu tion of the New Common Stock, the New Holdings Creditor Warrants, the Manage ment Options, and the New Secured Notes pursuant to the Plan; (7) the adoption, execution, delivery and implementation of all contracts, leases, instruments, releases and other agreements or documents related to any of the foregoing, including the Management Option Plan, the Registration Rights Agreement, the settlement with Cisco and the settlement with Lucent; (8) the adoption, execution and implementa tion of employment, retirement and indemnification agreements, incentive compen sation programs, retirement income plans, welfare benefit plans and other employee plans and related agreements, including the Management Option Plan; and (9) the other matters provided for under the Plan involving the corporate structure of any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor or corporate action to be taken by or required of any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor. G. ASSUMPTIONS, ASSUMPTIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS AND REJECTIONS OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES. Each pre- or post-Confirmation assumption, assumption and assign ment or rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to Sections 7.1 and 7.3 of the Plan, including any pre- or post-Confirmation assumption, assump tion and assignment or rejection effectuated as a result of any amendment to Sched ule 7.3 to the Plan, as contemplated by Section 7.3 of the Plan, shall be legal, valid and binding upon the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor and all nondebtor parties to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, all to the same extent as if such assumption, assumption and assignment or rejection had been effectuated pursuant to an appropriate authorizing order of the Bankruptcy Court entered before the Confirmation Date under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. H. SUBSTANTIVE CONSOLIDATION In light of the factors identified in Section I.E above, the substantive consolidation of the Estates that comprise the Holdings Debtors and the Estates that comprise the Services Debtors, respectively, is in the bests interests of the Debtors' creditors and is appropriate under section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code. III. ORDER ACCORDINGLY, THE COURT HEREBY ORDERS THAT: A. CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN. The Plan and each of its provisions are confirmed pursuant to section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that if there is any direct conflict between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Confirmation Order, the terms of this Confirmation Order shall control. All of the Objections and other responses to, and statements and comments regarding, the Plan, other than those withdrawn with prejudice in their entirety prior to, or on the record at, the Confirmation Hearing are overruled. B. EFFECTS OF CONFIRMATION. 1. Immediate Effectiveness; Successors and Assigns. The stay contemplated by Bankruptcy Rule 3020(e) shall not apply to this Confirmation Order. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.6 of the Plan, and notwithstanding any otherwise applicable law, immediately upon the entry of this Confirmation Order, the terms of the Plan and this Confirmation Order are deemed binding upon the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, any and all holders of Claims or Interests (irrespective of whether such Claims or Interests are impaired under the Plan or whether the holders of such Claims or Interests accepted, rejected or are deemed to have accepted or rejected the Plan), any and all nondebtor parties to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases with any of the Debtors and any and all entities that are parties to or are subject to the settlements, compromises, releases, discharges and injunctions described in Section I.C above and the respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns, if any, of any of the foregoing. 2. Continued Corporate Existence; Vesting of Assets. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan (and subject to the provi sions regarding Restructuring Transactions in Section 5.4 of the Plan), each Debtor shall, as a Reorganized Debtor, continue to exist after the Effective Date as a separate corporate entity, with all the powers of a corporation (or such other corporate form) under applicable law and without prejudice to any right to alter or terminate such existence (whether by merger, dissolution or otherwise) under applicable state law. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, as of the Effective Date, all property of the respective Estates of the Debtors, and any property acquired by a Debtor or Reorga nized Debtor under the Plan, shall vest in the applicable Reorganized Debtor, free and clear of all Claims, liens, charges, other encumbrances and Interests. On and after the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor is authorized to (a) operate its businesses; (b) use, acquire and dispose of property; and (c) compromise or settle any Claims or Interests, in each case without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules, other than those restrictions expressly imposed by the Plan or this Confirmation Order. Without limiting the foregoing, each Reorganized Debtor is authorized to pay the charges that it incurs on or after the Effective Date for professionals' fees, disbursements, expenses or related support services (including fees relating to the preparation of Professional fee applications) without application to the Bankruptcy Court. 3. Cancellation and Surrender of Instruments, Securities and Other Documentation. Except as provided in any contract, instrument or other agreement or document created, entered into or delivered in connection with the Plan, on the Effective Date and concurrently with the applicable distributions made pursuant to Article III of the Plan, the Old Securities are canceled and of no further force and effect, without any further action on the part of any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor. The holders of or parties to such canceled instruments, securities and other documen tation shall have no rights arising from or relating to such instruments, securities and other documentation or the cancellation thereof, except the rights provided pursuant to the Plan; provided, however, that no distribution under the Plan shall be made to or on behalf of any holder of an Allowed Claim evidenced by such canceled instru ments or securities unless and until such instruments or securities are received by the applicable Indenture Trustee pursuant to, and to the extent required by, Section 8.8 of the Plan. 4. Release of Liens. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in any contract, instru ment, release or other agreement or document entered into or delivered in connection with the Plan, on the Effective Date and concurrently with the applicable distribu tions made pursuant to Article III of the Plan, all mortgages, deeds of trust, liens or other security interests against the property of any Estate are fully released and discharged, and all right, title and interest of any holder of such mortgages, deeds of trust, liens or other security interests, including any rights to any collateral thereun der, shall revert to the applicable Reorganized Debtor and its successors and assigns. C. CLAIMS BAR DATES. 1. Bar Dates for Administrative Claims. a. General Bar Date Provisions. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 3.1 and 12.1 of the Plan and herein, unless previously filed, all requests for payment of Administrative Claims must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on counsel for the Debtors and counsel for the Creditors' Committee, pursuant to the procedures specified in the Confirmation Notice (as such term is defined below), no later than 45 days after the Effective Date. Holders of Administrative Claims that are required to File and serve a request for payment of such Administrative Claims and that do not File and serve a request by the applicable bar date shall be forever barred from asserting such Administrative Claims against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or their respective property and such Administrative Claims shall be deemed discharged as of the Effective Date. The Debtors have forty-five (45) business days after receipt to object to the amount requested. The Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to determine the Allowed amount of such Administrative Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no request for payment of an Administrative Claim need be filed with respect to an Administrative Claim which is paid or payable by a Debtor in the ordinary course of business. b. Bar Dates for Certain Administrative Claims. i. Professional Compensation. All final requests for compensation or reimbursement of Professional Fee Claims for services rendered to the Debtors or any creditors' committee prior to the Effective Date and Substantial Contribution Claims must be filed and served on the Reorganized Debtors and their counsel no later than forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date. Objections to applications of such Professionals or other entities for compensation or reimbursement of expenses must be filed and served on the Reorga nized Debtors and their counsel and the requesting Professional or other entity no later than 30 days after the date on which the applicable application was served. To the extent necessary, entry of this Confirmation Order shall amend and supersede any previously entered order of the Bankruptcy Court regarding the payment of Profes sional Fee Claims. ii. Ordinary Course Liabilities. Holders of Administrative Claims based on liabilities incurred by a Debtor in the ordinary course of its business, including Administrative Trade Claims and Administrative Claims of governmental units for Taxes (including Tax audit Claims arising after the Petition Date) shall not be required to File or serve any request for payment of such Administrative Claims. Such Administrative Claims shall be satisfied pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Plan. iii. Priority Tax Claims Each of the Debtors shall have the right to file an objection to any Priority Tax Claim and other claims asserted by taxing authorities and the Debtors' rights to object to and settle or otherwise compromise Priority Tax Claims are preserved, provided that any such objection must be filed no later than 90 days following the Effective Date, unless such time period is extended by the Court. Following resolution of any objections, Priority Tax Claims and other claims asserted by taxing authorities shall be treated as provided under the Plan and, with respect to objections and other matters addressed herein, the provisions of this Order. 2. Bar Date for Rejection Damages Claims and Related Pro cedures. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors shall provide written notice to each nondebtor party to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease being rejected pursuant to the Plan of (i) the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease being rejected, (ii) the bar date set forth in this Section III.C and (iii) the procedures for such party to File and serve a proof of Claim for any Claims that may arise from such rejection (the "Rejection Bar Date Notice"). The Rejection Bar Date Notice shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference and shall be served on each nondebtor party or parties to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease by the later of (i) 30 days after the Effective Date or (ii) if the Debtors amend Schedule 7.3 to the Plan after the Confirmation Date to add any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, thus providing for its rejection pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Plan, 30 days after the date of such amend ment. Notwithstanding anything in the Bar Date Order to the contrary, if the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Plan gives rise to a Claim by the other party or parties to the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, such Claim shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, their respective successors or their respective properties unless a proof of Claim is Filed and served on the Reorganized Debtors, pursuant to the procedures specified in this Confirmation Order and the Rejection Bar Date Notice, no later than 30 days after the date of service of the applicable Rejection Bar Date Notice. D. MATTERS RELATING TO IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN. 1. Restructuring Transactions. On or after the Confirmation Date, pursuant to appropriate provisions of applicable state business corporation laws and sections 1123(a) and 1142(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors are authorized to enter into such Restructuring Transactions and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect a corporate restructuring of their respective businesses or simplify the overall corporate structure of the Reorganized Debtors and make all filings and recordings in connection therewith, all as contemplated by, among others, Section 5.4 of the Plan, and in accordance with applicable terms of the Plan, the Exhibits thereto and this Confirmation Order. Such restructuring may include one or more mergers, consolidations, restructurings, dispositions, liquidations or dissolu tions, as may be determined by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors to be necessary or appropriate. The actions to effect these transactions may include: (i) the execution and delivery of appropriate agreements or other documents of merger, consolidation, restructuring, disposition, liquidation or dissolution containing terms that are consistent with the terms of the Plan and that satisfy the applicable require ments of applicable state law and such other terms to which the applicable entities may agree; (ii) the execution and delivery of appropriate instruments of transfer, assignment, assumption or delegation of any asset, property, right, liability, duty or obligation on terms consistent with the terms of the Plan and having such other terms to which the applicable entities may agree; (iii) the filing of appropriate certificates or articles of merger, consolidation or dissolution pursuant to applicable state law; and (iv) all other actions that the applicable entities determine to be necessary or appropriate, including making filings or recordings that may be required by applica ble state law in connection with such transactions. The Restructuring Transactions may include one or more mergers, consolidations, restructurings, dispositions, liquidations or dissolutions as may be determined by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors to be necessary or appropriate to result in substantially all of the respective assets, properties, rights, liabilities, duties and obligations of certain of the Reorganized Debtors vesting in one or more surviving, resulting or acquiring corporations. In each case in which the surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation in any such transaction is a successor to a Reorga nized Debtor, such surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation shall perform the obligations of the applicable Reorganized Debtor pursuant to the Plan to pay or otherwise satisfy the Allowed Claims against such Reorganized Debtor, except as provided in any contract, instrument or other agreement or document effecting a disposition to such surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation, which may provide that another Reorganized Debtor will perform such obligations. Each of the following shall occur and be effective as of the date specified in the documents effectuating the applicable Restructuring Transactions or the Effective Date, if no such other date is specified in such other documents, and are authorized and approved in all respects and for all purposes without any requirement of further action by the stockholders or board of directors of any of the Debtors: the Restructuring Transactions; the adoption of new or amended and restated certificates of incorporation and by-laws or similar constituent documents for the Reorganized Debtors; the initial selection of directors and officers for the Reorganized Debtors; the entry into the Exit Financing, including the New Senior Subordinated Term Loan and the New Convertible Notes; the distribution of cash pursuant to the Plan; the issuance and distribution of the New Common Stock, the New Holdings Creditor Warrants, the Management Options and the New Secured Notes pursuant to the Plan; the adoption, execution, delivery and implementation of all contracts, leases, instruments, releases and other agreements or documents related to any of the foregoing, including the Registration Rights Agreement and the Management Option Plan and the documents necessary or appropriate to obtain and implement the Exit Financing; the adoption, execution and implementation of employment, retirement and indemnification agreements, incentive compensation programs, retirement income plans, welfare benefit plans and other employee plans and related agree ments, including the Management Option Plan; and the other matters provided for under the Plan involving the corporate structure of any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor or corporate action to be taken by or required of any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor.

Approval of Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease Provisions and Related Procedures. Except as otherwise modified herein, the Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease provisions of Article VII of the Plan are specifically approved. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan, on the Effective Date, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, the applicable Debtor or Debtors shall assume each executory contact and unexpired lease to which a Debtor is a party, including those listed on Schedule 7.1 of the Plan, unless such contract or lease (i) was previously assumed or rejected by such Debtor, (ii) previ ously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms, or (iii) is listed on Schedule 7.3 of the Plan as being an executory contract or unexpired lease to be rejected. To the extent that an executory contract or unexpired lease is not listed on Schedule 7.3, such executory contract or unexpired lease is assumed. Each contract and lease shall be assumed or rejected only to the extent that any such contract or lease constitutes an executory contract or unexpired lease. Listing a contract or lease on Schedule 7.3 to the Plan shall not constitute an admission by a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor that such contract or lease is an executory contract or unexpired lease or that a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder. As of the effective time of the applicable Restructuring Transaction, any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be held by any Debtor or another surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation in the applicable Restructuring Transac tion, shall be deemed assigned to the applicable entity, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. This Confirmation Order shall constitute an order approving the treatment of executory contracts and unexpired leases described in Article VII of the Plan, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the Effective Date. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors shall provide notice to each party whose executory contract or unexpired lease is being assumed or assumed and assigned pursuant to the Plan of (i) the contract or lease being assumed or assumed and assigned; (ii) the name of the proposed assignee, if any; (iii) the Cure, if any, that the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor believes it (or its assignee) would be obligated to pay in connection with such assumption; and (iv) the procedures for such party to object to the assumption or assumption and assignment of the applica ble contract or lease or the amount of the proposed Cure (the "Cure Amount No tice"). The Cure Amount Notice shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated herein by reference and shall be served on each nondebtor party or parties to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease by the later of (i) 30 days after the Effective Date or (ii) if the Debtors amend Schedule 7.3 to the Plan after the Confirmation Date to remove any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease identified thereon, thus providing for its assumption or assumption and assignment pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Plan, 30 days after the date of such amendment. To the extent that such Claims constitute monetary defaults, the Cure associated with each executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed or assumed and assigned pursuant to the Plan shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, at the option of the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor assuming such contract or lease or the assignee of such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, if any by Cure. If there is a dispute regarding (i) the amount of any Cure, (ii) the ability of the applicable Reorganized Debtor or any assignee to provide "adequate assurance of future performance" (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bank ruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed or (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption of such contract or lease, such party must File and serve on the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, a written objection setting forth the basis for such dispute no later than 20 days after the date of service of the Cure Amount Notice. The Cure shall be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption or assumption and assignment, as the case may be. If there is a dispute as to the amount of Cure or any requirement for adequate assurance of future performance that cannot be resolved consensually among the parties, the Debtors shall have the right to reject the contract or lease for a period of five (5) days after entry of a Final Order establishing a Cure amount in excess of that provided by the Debtors or any requirement for adequate assurance of future performance that is not acceptable to the Debtors. If the nondebtor party to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease does not timely and properly object to the proposed Cure Amount Claim identified in a Cure Amount Notice, the proposed amount shall become the final Allowed Cure Amount Claim without further action by the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, and the Proposed Cure Amount Claim shall be paid or satisfied in accordance with the Plan and this Confirmation Order. Until a Cure Amount Claim becomes Allowed in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section III.D.5 and the Cure Amount Notice, such Claim shall be treated as a Disputed Claim for purposes of making distributions under the Plan. Reorganized ICG shall provide standard and customary indemnifica tion for all officers and directors (as of the Petition Date and thereafter) for all actions or events occurring after the Petition Date. Except as provided below, Indemnification Obligations to present and former officers and directors for actions or events occurring prior to the Petition Date is limited to director and officer liability insurance coverage. Reorganized ICG shall indemnify present and former officers and directors for all legal fees and expenses and shall advance all such fees and expenses, as well as any insurance deductibles (if applicable), related to any claims or lawsuits for any actions or events occurring prior to the Petition Date. The obligations of each Debtor or Reorganized Debtor to indemnify members of the Special Committee, including for actions or events occurring prior to the Petition Date, are deemed and treated as executory contracts that are assumed by Reorganized ICG pursuant to the Plan and section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date. Accordingly, such indemnification obligations shall survive and be unaffected by entry of this Confirmation Order, irrespective of whether such indemnification is owed for an act or event occurring before or after the Petition Date. Reorganized ICG shall reimburse the Special Committee and its members for all legal fees and expenses incurred by them in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases and the Plan. The obligations of each Debtor or Reorganized Debtor to indemnify any present or former professionals or advisors of the Debtors arising out of acts that occurred prior to the Petition Date, including without limitation, accountants, auditors, financial consultants, underwriters, or attorneys, are deemed and treated as Executory Contracts that are rejected by the applicable Debtor pursuant to the Plan and section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the Effective Date, and any Claims arising from such indemnification obligations (including any rejection damage claims) shall be subject to the bar date provisions of Section III.C above. 7. Distribution Record Date. The Distribution Record Date shall be May 20, 2002. The Distribu tion provisions of the Plan shall be, and hereby are, approved. The Debtors and the Disbursing Agent, as the case may be, shall make all Distributions required under the Plan. As of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the respective transfer registers for the Old Notes, as maintained by the Debtors or the Indenture Trustees, shall be closed. The applicable Disbursing Agent shall have no obligation to recognize the transfer or sale of any Old Note Claim that occurs after the close of business on the Distribution Record Date and shall be entitled for all purposes herein to recognize and make distributions only to those holders of Old Note Claims that are holders of such Claims as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. E. SUBSTANTIVE CONSOLIDATION OF THE HOLDINGS DEBTORS AND SERVICES DEBTORS. The substantive consolidation of the Estates that comprise the Holdings Debtors and the Estates that comprise the Services Debtors for the purpose of implementing the Plan, including for purposes of voting, Confirmation and distributions to be made under the Plan, is approved. Accordingly, for purposes of implementing the Plan, on the Effective Date (a) all assets and liabilities of each of the Holdings Debtors shall be deemed merged or treated as though they were merged into and with the assets and liabilities of ICG; (b) all assets and liabilities of each of the Services Debtors shall be deemed merged or treated as though they were merged into and with the assets and liabilities of ICG Services, Inc.; (c) no distributions shall be made under the Plan on account of Intercompany Claims among the Debtors; (d) no distributions shall be made under the Plan on account of Subsidiary Interests; and (e) all guarantees of the Debtors of the obligations of any other Debtor shall be deemed eliminated so that any claim against any Debtor and any guarantee thereof executed by any other Debtor and any joint or several liability of any of the Debtors shall be deemed to be one obligation of the consolidated Debtors. The substantive consolidation of the Debtors (other than for the purpose of implementing the Plan) shall not affect (i) the legal and corporate structures of Reorganized ICG, subject to the right of the Debtors or Reorganized ICG to effect Restructuring Transactions as provided in Article V of the Plan; (ii) Intercompany Claims; (iii) Subsidiary Interests, and (iv) pre and post Commencement Date guarantees that are required to be maintained (x) in connection with executory contracts or unexpired leases that have been or will be assumed, or (y) pursuant to the Plan.

ARTICLE VI SUBSTANTIVE CONSOLIDATION 6.1 Substantive Consolidation The Plan does not provide for the substantive consolidation of the Holdings Debtors and the Services Debtors. The Plan does, as set forth below, provide for the substantive consolidation of the Estates that comprise the Holdings Debtors, and the Estates that comprise the Services Debtors, respectively. (a) The Holdings Debtors The Plan is premised upon the substantive consolidation of the Estates that comprise the Holdings Debtors only for purposes of the Plan, for voting, confirmation and distribution purposes. Except as set forth in Section 5.4, the Plan does not contemplate the merger or dissolution of any Debtor entity or the transfer or commingling of any asset of any Debtor. On the Effective Date, (a) all assets and liabilities of the Holdings Debtors shall be deemed merged or treated as though they were merged into and with the assets and liabilities of ICG Communications, Inc.; (b) no distributions shall made under the Plan on account of Intercompany Claims; (c) no distributions shall be made under the Plan on account of Subsidiary Interests; and (d) all guarantees of the Debtors of the obligations of any other Debtor shall be deemed eliminated so that any claim against any Debtor and any guarantee thereof executed by any other Debtor and any joint or several liability of any of the Debtors shall be deemed to be one obligation of the consolidated Debtors. Such substantive consolidation (other than for purposes related to the Plan) shall not affect (i) the legal and corporate structures of the Reorganized Debtors, subject to the right of the Debtors or Reorganized ICG to effect Restructuring Transactions as provided in Section 5.4 of the Plan, (ii) Intercompany Claims, (iii) Subsidiary Interests, and (iv) pre and post Commencement Date guarantees that are required to be maintained (x) in connection with executory contracts or unexpired leases that were entered into during the Chapter 11 Cases or that have been or will be assumed, or (y) pursuant to the Plan. (b) The Services Debtors The Plan is premised upon the substantive consolidation of the Estates that comprise the Services Debtors only for purposes of the Plan, for voting, confirmation and distribution purposes. Except as set forth in Section 5.4, the Plan does not contemplate the merger or dissolution of any Debtor entity or the transfer or commingling of any asset of any Debtor. On the Effective Date, (a) all assets and liabilities of the Services Debtors shall be deemed merged or treated as though they were merged into and with the assets and liabilities of ICG Services, Inc.; (b) no distributions shall made under the Plan on account of Intercompany Claims; (c) no distributions shall be made under the Plan on account of Subsidiary Interests; and (d) all guarantees of the Debtors of the obligations of any other Debtor shall be deemed eliminated so that any claim against any Debtor and any guarantee thereof executed by any other Debtor and any joint or several liability of any of the Debtors shall be deemed to be one obligation of the consolidated Debtors. Such substantive consolidation (other than for purposes related to the Plan) shall not affect (i) the legal and corporate structures of the Reorganized Debtors, subject to the right of the Debtors or Reorganized ICG to effect Restructuring Transactions as provided in Section 5.4 of the Plan, (ii) Intercompany Claims, (iii) Subsidiary Interests, and (iv) pre and post Commencement Date guarantees that are required to be maintained (x) in connection with executory contracts or unexpired leases that were entered into during the Chapter 11 Cases or that have been or will be assumed, or (y) pursuant to the Plan. 6.2 Order Granting Substantive Consolidation This Plan shall serve as a motion seeking entry of an order substantively consolidating the Chapter 11 Cases, as described and to the limited extend set forth in Section 6.1 above. Unless an objection to such substantive consolidation is made in writing by any creditor affected by the Plan as herein provided on or before five (5) days prior to the date that is fixed by the Court as the last date on which acceptances to this Plan may be received, or such other date as may be fixed by the Court, the substantive consolidation order (which may be the Confirmation Order) may be entered by the Court. In the event any such objections are timely filed, a hearing with respect thereto shall occur at the Confirmation Hearing. ARTICLE VII TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES 7.1 Assumed Contracts And Leases (a) Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, or in any contract, instrument, release, indenture or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan, as of the Effective Date each Debtor shall be deemed to have assumed each executory contract and unexpired lease to which it is a party, including those listed on Schedule 7.1 attached hereto, unless such contract or lease (i) was previously assumed or rejected by such Debtor, (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms, or (iii) is listed on Schedule 7.3 attached hereto as being an executory contract or unexpired lease to be rejected, provided, however, that the Debtors reserve their right, at any time prior to the Confirmation Date, to amend Schedule 7.1 to delete an unexpired lease or executory contract therefrom or add any unexpired lease or executory contract thereto. To the extent that an executory contract or unexpired lease is not listed on either Schedule 7.1 or Schedule 7.3, such executory contract or unexpired lease shall be deemed assumed as if such executory contract or lease had been included on Schedule 7.1. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code approving the contract and lease assumptions described above, as of the Effective Date. (b) Each executory contract and unexpired lease that is assumed and relates to the use, ability to acquire, or occupancy of real property shall include (i) all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument, or other document that in any manner affect such executory contract or unexpired lease and (ii) all executory contracts or unexpired leases appurtenant to the premises, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, powers, uses, usufructs, reciprocal easement agreements, vaults, tunnel or bridge agreements or franchises, and any other interests in real estate or rights in rem related to such premises, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been rejected pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court. (c) To the extent that any of the Debtors' contracts with its customers are executory contracts within the meaning of applicable law, such contracts shall be deemed assumed pursuant to Section 7.1(a) of this Plan. Due to the extremely large number of customer contracts, customer contracts are not listed on Schedule 7.1. A list of all of the Debtors' customer contracts is available at the Debtors' corporate headquarters, and will be made available upon request to the Debtors. 7.2 Payments Related To Assumption Of Contracts and Leases Any monetary amounts by which each executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan is in default shall be satisfied, under section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, at the option of the Debtor party to the contract or lease or the assignee of such Debtor party assuming such contract or lease, by Cure. If there is a dispute regarding (a) the nature or amount of any Cure, (b) the ability of any Reorganized Debtor or any assignee to provide "adequate assurance of future performance" (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed, or (c) any other matter pertaining to assumption, Cure shall occur following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption or assumption and assignment, as the case may be; provided that if there is a dispute as to the amount of Cure or any requirement for adequate assurance of future performance that cannot be resolved consensually among the parties, the Debtors shall have the right to reject the contract or lease for a period of five (5) days after entry of a Final Order establishing a Cure amount in excess of that provided by the Debtors or any requirement for adequate assurance of future performance that is not acceptable to the Debtors. The Confirmation Order shall contain provisions providing for notices of proposed assumptions and proposed cure amounts to be sent to applicable third parties and for procedures for objecting thereto (which shall provide not less than twenty (20) days notice of such procedures and any deadlines pursuant thereto) and resolution of disputes by the Bankruptcy Court. 7.3 Rejected Contracts and Leases On the Effective Date, each executory contract and unexpired lease listed on Schedule 7.3 to this Plan shall be rejected pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. Each contract or lease listed on Schedule 7.3 shall be rejected only to the extent that any such contract or lease constitutes an executory contract or unexpired lease; provided, however, that the Debtors reserve their right, at any time prior to the Confirmation Date, to amend Schedule 7.3 to delete an unexpired lease or executory contract therefrom or add any unexpired lease or executory contract thereto. To the extent that an executory contract or unexpired lease is not listed on either Schedule 7.1 or Schedule 7.3, such executory contract or unexpired lease shall be deemed assumed as if such executory contract or lease had been included on Schedule 7.1. Listing a contract or lease on Schedule 7.1 or 7.3 shall not constitute an admission by ICG nor Reorganized ICG that such contract or lease is an executory contract or unexpired lease or that ICG or Reorganized ICG has any liability thereunder. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such rejections, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable, as of the Effective Date. 7.4 Rejection Damages Bar Date If the rejection by a Debtor, pursuant to the Plan or otherwise, of an executory contract or unexpired lease results in a Claim, then such Claim shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor or the properties of any of them unless a Proof of Claim is filed with the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court and served upon counsel to the Debtors, and counsel to the Creditors' Committee, within thirty (30) days after service of the earlier of (a) notice of the Confirmation Order, or (b) other notice that the executory contract or unexpired lease has been rejected. ARTICLE VIII PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS 8.1 Distributions For Claims Allowed As Of The Effective Date Except as otherwise provided herein or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, and subject to the provisions of Section 9.3 and 9.4 of this Plan, all distributions to holders of Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date shall be made on the Distribution Date. Distributions on account of Claims that first become Allowed Claims after the Effective Date shall be made pursuant to Section 9.4 of this Plan. Notwithstanding the date on which any distribution of New Securities is actually made to a holder of a Claim that is an Allowed Claim on the Effective Date, as of the date of the distribution of such securities such holder shall be deemed to have the rights of a holder as of the Effective Date. 8.2 Interest On Claims Unless otherwise specifically provided for in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, or required by applicable bankruptcy law, post-petition interest shall not accrue or be paid on Claims, and no holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim. Interest shall not accrue or be paid upon any Disputed Claim in respect of the period from the Petition Date to the date a final distribution is made thereon if and after such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. 8.3 Distributions by Disbursing Agent (a) Except as set forth in Section 8.3(c) of this Plan, the Disbursing Agent shall make all distributions required under this Plan. (b) If the Disbursing Agent is an independent third party designated by the Reorganized Debtors to serve in such capacity, such Disbursing Agent shall receive, without further Bankruptcy Court approval, reasonable compensation for distribution services rendered pursuant to the Plan and reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such services from the Reorganized Debtors on terms acceptable to the Reorganized Debtors. No Disbursing Agent shall be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. (c) Distributions to holders of Old Note Claims shall be made by the respective Indenture Trustees. In full satisfaction of the Claims of Indenture Trustees for services under the Old Indentures, including Claims secured by the Indenture Trustees' charging liens under the Old Indentures, the Indenture Trustees will receive Cash equal to the amount of the Indenture Trustees' reasonable fees and expenses. Distributions to be made to holders of Claims shall not be reduced on account of the payment to the Indenture Trustee fees and expenses. On or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date and without further application to the Bankruptcy Court or amendment to its Proof of Claim, Reorganized ICG will pay to each Indenture Trustee, in full satisfaction of such Indenture Trustee's reasonable fees and expenses, Cash in an amount equal to the amount of such fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee. Any disputes as to the reasonableness of such fees and expenses shall be resolved by the Bankruptcy Court. Upon full satisfaction of the Indenture Trustees' fees and expenses, the Indenture Trustees' charging liens shall be released. 8.4 Record Date For Distributions To Holders Of Lender Claims and Old Notes At the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the transfer records for the Old Notes and Lender Claims shall be closed, and there shall be no further changes in the record holders of the Old Notes or Lender Claims. None of Reorganized ICG, the Disbursing Agent, nor the administrative agent for the Lenders shall have any obligation to recognize any transfer of such Old Notes or Lender Claims occurring after the Distribution Record Date and shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal for all purposes hereunder with only those record holders as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. 8.5 Means Of Cash Payment Cash payments made pursuant to this Plan shall be in U.S. funds, by the means agreed to by the payor and the payee, including by check or wire transfer, or, in the absence of an agreement, such commercially reasonable manner as the payor shall determine in its sole discretion. 8.6 Calculation Of Distribution Amounts Of New Common Shares and New Holdings Creditor Warrants No fractional shares of New Common Shares or fractional New Holdings Creditor Warrants shall be issued or distributed under the Plan or by Reorganized ICG or the Disbursing Agent. Each Person entitled to receive New Common Shares or New Holdings Creditor Warrants will receive the total number of whole shares of New Common Shares and New Holdings Creditor Warrants to which such Person is entitled. Whenever any distribution to a particular Person would otherwise call for distribution of a fraction of a share of New Common Shares or fractional New Holdings Creditor Warrants, the actual distribution of shares or warrants shall be rounded to the next higher or lower whole number as follows: (a) fractions one-half (1/2) or greater shall be rounded to the next higher whole number, and (b) fractions of less than one-half (1/2) shall be rounded to the next lower whole number. No consideration shall be provided in lieu of fractional shares or warrants that are rounded down. 8.7 Delivery Of Distributions Distributions to holders of Allowed Claims shall be made by the Disbursing Agent (or Indenture Trustees) (a) at the addresses set forth on the Proofs of Claim filed by such holders (or at the last known addresses of such holders if no Proof of Claim is filed or if the Debtors have been notified of a change of address), (b) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Disbursing Agent after the date of any related Proof of Claim, (c) at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if no Proof of Claim has been filed and the Disbursing Agent has not received a written notice of a change of address, or (d) in the case of the holder of an Allowed Old Note Claim, at the addresses contained in the official records of the indenture trustee under the Old Indenture, or (e) at the addresses set forth in a properly completed letter of transmittal accompanying securities properly remitted to the Debtors. If any holder's distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such holder shall be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent is notified of such holder's then current address, at which time all missed distributions shall be made to such holder without interest. Amounts in respect of undeliverable distributions made by the Disbursing Agent, shall be returned to the Reorganized Debtors until such distributions are claimed. All claims for undeliverable distributions made by the Disbursing Agent must be made on or before the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date, after which date all unclaimed property shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors free of any restrictions thereon and the claims of any holder or successor to such holder with respect to such property shall be discharged and forever barred, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. Nothing contained in the Plan shall require the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, any Disbursing Agent or the Indenture Trustee to attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed Claim. 8.8 Surrender of Securities and Instruments (a) Old Notes Except as provided in Section 8.8(b) of the Plan for lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Old Notes, each holder of an Allowed Claim evidenced by an Old Note shall tender such Old Note to the respective Indenture Trustee in accordance with written instructions to be provided in a letter of transmittal to such holders by the Indenture Trustee as promptly as practicable following the Effective Date. Such letter of transmittal shall specify that delivery of such Old Notes will be effected, and risk of loss and title thereto will pass, only upon the proper delivery of such Old Notes with the letter of transmittal in accordance with such instructions. Such letter of transmittal shall also include, among other provisions, customary provisions with respect to the authority of the holder of the applicable Old Note to act and the authenticity of any signatures required on the letter of transmittal. All surrendered notes and Old Notes shall be marked as canceled and delivered by the respective Indenture Trustee to Reorganized ICG. (b) Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Old Notes In addition to any requirements under the applicable certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws of the applicable Debtor, any holder of a Claim evidenced by an Old Note that has been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed shall, in lieu of surrendering such Old Note, deliver to the Indenture Trustee: (i) evidence satisfactory to the respective Indenture Trustee of the loss, theft, mutilation or destruction; and (ii) such indemnity as may be required by the respective Indenture Trustee to hold the Indenture Trustee harmless from any damages, liabilities or costs incurred in treating such individual as a holder of an Old Note that has been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Upon compliance with this Section 8.8(b) by a holder of a Claim evidenced by an Old Note, such holder shall, for all purposes under the Plan, be deemed to have surrendered its Old Note, as applicable. (c) Failure to Surrender Canceled Old Notes Any holder of an Old Note that fails to surrender or be deemed to have surrendered such note or Old Note before the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date shall have its claim for a distribution on account of such Old Note discharged and shall be forever barred from asserting any such claim against any Reorganized Debtor or their respective property. 8.9 Withholding And Reporting Requirements In connection with this Plan and all distributions hereunder, the Disbursing Agent shall, to the extent applicable, comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, provincial, local, or foreign taxing authority, and all distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. The Disbursing Agent shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan: (a) each holder of an Allowed Claim that is to receive a distribution of New Securities pursuant to the Plan shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any governmental unit, including income, withholding and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution, and (b) no distribution shall be made to or on behalf of such holder pursuant to the Plan unless and until such holder has made arrangements satisfactory to the Disbursing Agent for the payment and satisfaction of such tax obligations. Any New Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Plan shall, pending the implementation of such arrangements, be treated as an undeliverable distribution pursuant to Section 8.7 of this Plan. 8.10 Setoffs The Reorganized Debtors may, but shall not be required to, set off against any Claim, and the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of such Claim, claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors may have against the holder of such Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Reorganized Debtors of any such claim that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors may have against such holder. ARTICLE IX PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED, CONTINGENT, AND UNLIQUIDATED CLAIMS AND DISTRIBUTIONS WITH RESPECT THERETO 9.1 Prosecution Of Objections to Claims (a) Objections to Claims All objections to Claims must be filed and served on the holders of such Claims by the Claims Objection Deadline. If an objection has not been filed to a Proof of Claim or a scheduled Claim by the Claims Objection Deadline, the Claim to which the Proof of Claim or scheduled Claim relates will be treated as an Allowed Claim if such Claim has not been allowed earlier. (b) Authority to Prosecute Objections (i) After the Confirmation Date, only the Reorganized Debtors will have the authority to file objections, settle, compromise, withdraw or litigate to judgment objections to Claims, including Claims for reclamation under section 546(c) of the Bankruptcy Code. Except as provided below, from and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without approval of the Bankruptcy Court. (ii) On or before the last Business Day of each month or as otherwise agreed in writing by the Creditors' Committee or the Claims Resolution Committee, as set forth in Section 12.18, the Reorganized Debtors will provide counsel to the Claims Resolution Committee with written notice of each Disputed Claim that has been settled or compromised in the prior month, other than such settlements or compromises that fall within the parameters of settlement guidelines to be agreed to by the Debtors and the Creditors' Committee or the Claims Resolution Committee. Within ten (10) days after the receipt of such notice, the Claims Resolution Committee will provide the Reorganized Debtors with written notice of any such settlements or compromises with which it does not concur. If the Reorganized Debtors and the Claims Resolution Committee cannot reach agreement with respect to any such settlement or compromise, the Claims Resolution Committee will be permitted to file and serve on the Reorganized Debtors an objection to the reasonableness of such settlement or compromise by the last Business Day of the month following the month in which the Claims Resolution Committee received written notice of the settlement or compromise, or such later date as may be agreed by the Reorganized Debtors, with the reasonableness of such settlement or compromise to be determined by the Bankruptcy Court. If the Claims Resolution Committee does not provide a written notice and file and serve an objection as specified in this Section with respect to any particular settlement or compromise, then such settlement or compromise will be deemed resolved on the terms and subject to the conditions agreed to by the Reorganized Debtors. The Reorganized Debtors and the Claims Resolution Committee may modify the foregoing procedures by a writing executed by both. 9.2 Treatment of Disputed Claims Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no payments or distributions will be made on account of a Disputed Claim, or, if less than the entire Claim is a Disputed Claim, the portion of a Claim that is disputed, until such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. 9.3 Disputed Claims Reserves Prior to making any distributions of the New Common Shares to holders of Allowed Claims in either Class H-4 or S-4, or New Holdings Creditor Warrants to holders of Allowed Claims in Class H-4, the Disbursing Agent shall establish appropriate reserves for Disputed Claims in such Classes, respectively, to withhold from any such distributions 100% of distributions to which holders of Disputed Claims in such Classes would be entitled under the Plan as of such date if such Disputed Claims were Allowed Claims in their Disputed Claim Amount. The Disbursing Agent shall also establish appropriate reserves for Disputed Claims in other Classes, as it determines necessary and appropriate. 9.4 Distributions on Account of Disputed Claims Once They Are Allowed and Additional Distributions on Account of Previously Allowed Claims On each Quarterly Distribution Date, the Reorganized Debtors will make distributions from the Disputed Claims reserves (a) on account of any Disputed Claim that has become an Allowed Claim during the preceding calendar quarter and (b) on account of previously Allowed Claims, of property that would have been distributed to such Claim holders on the dates distributions previously were made to holders of Allowed Claims had the Disputed Claims that have become Allowed Claims been Allowed on such dates. Such distributions will be made pursuant to the provisions of the Plan governing the applicable Class. Holders of such claims that are ultimately Allowed will also be entitled to receive, on the basis of the amount ultimately allowed, the amount of any dividends or other distributions, if any, received on account of the shares of New Common Shares between the Effective Date and the date such shares are distributed to such Claim holder.

Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated by such holding, alteration or interpretation. The Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms. 12.6 Successors And Assigns The rights, benefits and obligations of any entity named or referred to in the Plan shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of, any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign of such entity. 12.7 Compromises and Settlements Pursuant to Fed.

Distributions under, described in, contemplated by, and/or implemented by this Plan to the various Classes of Claims hereunder shall not be subject to levy, garnishment, attachment, or like legal process by any holder of a Claim, including, but not limited to, holders of Secured Lender Claims and Old Note Claims, by reason of any claimed subordination rights or otherwise, so that each holder of a Claim shall have and receive the benefit of the distributions in the manner set forth in the Plan. 12.9 Discharge Of The Debtors (a) Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Confirmation Order, all consideration distributed under the Plan shall be in exchange for, and in complete satisfaction, settlement, discharge, and release of, all Claims of any nature whatsoever against the Debtors or any of their assets or properties, and, and regardless of whether any property shall have been distributed or retained pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claims, upon the Effective Date, the Debtors, and each of them, shall (i) be deemed discharged and released under section 1141(d)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code from any and all Claims, including, but not limited to, demands and liabilities that arose before the Confirmation Date, and all debts of the kind specified in sections 502(g), 502(h) or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, whether or not (a) a Proof of Claim based upon such debt is filed or deemed filed under section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) a Claim based upon such debt is Allowed under section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (c) the holder of a Claim based upon such debt accepted the Plan, and (ii) terminate all ICG Interests.

Other than as specified in the preceding sentence, (or as agreed by the Debtors and the Creditors' Committee or Claims Resolution Committee, or ordered by the Bankruptcy Court) the members of the Claims Resolution Committee will serve without compensation.

Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases to Be Assumed or Assumed and Assigned. On May 20, 2002, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") entered an order (the "Confirmation Order") confirming the Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of ICG Communications, Inc. (the "Plan"), in the chapter 11 cases of ICG Communications, Inc. ("ICG") and its affiliates (collectively, the "Debtors"). Pursuant to Article VII of the Plan, the Debtors will assume certain executory contracts and unexpired leases (together the "Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases"). The Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases are all of the Debtors' executory contracts and unexpired leases (as those terms are defined under applicable law), except: (i) executory contracts and unexpired leases previously assumed by Order of the Court; (ii) executory contracts and unexpired leases previously rejected by Order of the Court and (iii) executory contracts and unexpired leases to be rejected listed on Schedule 7.3 to the Plan. 2. Proposed Amounts Required to Cure Defaults. Section 365(b)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code requires that the Debtors cure ("Cure") or provide adequate assurance that they will promptly cure defaults under the Proposed Assumed Contracts at the time of assumption. The Debtors have determined the amounts required to cure defaults under the Proposed Assumed Contracts based on the Debtors' books and records and related documents (the "Cure Amount Claims"). The Cure Amount Claims for the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases to which you are a party are identified on the attached Annex A. 3. Deadline to Respond to Proposed Assumption or Assumption and Assign ment and Proposed Cure Amount Claims. Pursuant to the Confirmation Order, if you dispute (i) the amount of any Cure, (ii) the ability of the applicable Reorganized Debtor or any assignee to provide "adequate assurance of future performance" (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed or (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption of such contract or lease, you must file with the Bankruptcy Court and serve on the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, a written objection setting forth the basis for such dispute no later than 20 days after the date of service of this Cure Amount Notice (the "Objection Deadline"). The Cure shall be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption or assumption and assignment, as the case may be. For purposes of filing Objections, the address of the Bankruptcy Court is 824 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801. 4. Consensual Resolution of Disputes. The Debtors request that any party that disputes the assumption or assumption and assignment of a Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases or the amount of a Cure Amount Claim contact the Debtors prior to the Objection Deadline to attempt to resolve such dispute consensually. The Debtors' contact person for such matters is Bernard Zuroff, Esq., at ICG Communications, Inc., 161 Inverness Drive West, Englewood, Colorado 80112 or (303) 414- 5872. If such disputes cannot be resolved consensually prior to the Objection Deadline, you must file and serve an Objection to preserve your right to dispute the assumption or assumption and assignment of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or the amount of a Cure Amount Claim. If you do not timely and properly object to the proposed Cure Amount Claim identified on Exhibit A, the proposed amount shall become the final Allowed Cure Amount Claim without further action by the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, and the Cure Amount Claim shall be paid or satisfied in accordance with the Plan and the Confirmation Order. 5. Hearing; Reservation of Rights. If your dispute regarding the amount of Cure or any requirement for adequate assurance of future performance that cannot be resolved consensually among the parties, (i) such disputes shall be determined by the Bankruptcy Court at a hearing scheduled on not less than 30 days notice and (ii) the Debtors shall have the right to reject the contract or lease for a period of five (5) days after entry of a Final Order establishing a Cure amount in excess of that provided by the Debtors or any requirement for adequate assurance of future performance that is not acceptable to the Debtors. 6. Payment of Cure Amount. Absent any pending disputes, the Cure Amount Claims shall be satisfied, at the option of the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor assuming the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or the assignee of such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, (a) by payment of the Cure Amount Claim in cash on the Effective Date or as soon as practicable after the applicable Objection Deadline or (b) on such other terms as agreed to by the parties to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. If there is a dispute regarding the amount of any Cure Amount Claim or any other matter pertaining to the assumption or assumption and assignment of the underlying Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, the applicable Cure Amount Claim shall be paid as soon as practicable following the entry of a Final Order, or the filing of such agreement or other document, resolving the dispute. Until a Cure Amount Claim becomes Allowed in accordance with the procedures set forth herein and in the Confirmation Order, such Claim shall be treated as a Disputed Claim for purposes of making distributions under the Plan.
