DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
I. Adequacy of Disclosure Statement
7. Section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code requires that a disclosure statement
be approved by the comt as containing "adequate information" prior to a debtor's solicitation of
acceptances or rejections of a reorganization plan. 11 U.S.C. 1125(b). "Adequate
information" is defined in the Bankruptcy Code as:
[I]nformation of a kind, and in sufficient detail, as far as is
reasonably practicable in light of the nature and history of the
debtor and the condition of the debtor's books and records,
including a discussion of the potential material Federal tax
consequences of the plan to the debtor, any successor to the debtor,
and a hypothetical investor typical of the holders of claims or
interests in the case, that would enable such a hypothetical investor
of the relevant case to make an informed judgment about the plan,
but adequate information need not include such information about
any other possible or proposed plan and in determining whether a
disclosure statement provides adequate information, the court shall
consider the complexity of the case, the benefit of additional
information to creditors and other parties in interest, and the cost of
providing additional information.
II U.S.C. 1125(a). The Debtors' disclosure statement therefore must, as a whole, provide
information that is reasonably practicable to permit an informed judgment by impaired creditors
entitled to vote on the plan. See Krysta Cadillac-Oldsmobile GMC Truck, Inc. v. General
Motors Corp., 337 F3d 314, 322 (3d Cir. 2003). The bottom-line requirement of a disclosure
statement is that it "must clearly and succinctly infonn the average unsecured creditor what it is
going to get, when it is going to get it, and what contiogencies there are to gettiog its
distribution." In re Fevretti, 128 B.R. 16, 19 (Bankr. D. N.M. 1991).
8. In evaluating whether a disclosure statement provides "adequate
information," comts adhere to section 1125's instruction that making this determioation is a
flexible exercise based on the facts and circumstances of each case and is within the broad
4
discretion ofthe Court. See 11 U.S.C. 1125(a)(1) ("[A]dequate information means information
of a kind, and in sufficient detail, as far as is reasonably practicable in light of the nature and
history of the debtor and the condition of the debtor's books and records .... ") (emphasis
added); see also Oneida Motor Freight, Inc. v. United Jersey Bank, 848 F.2d 414, 417 (3d Cir.
1988) (stating that "[f]rom the legislative history of 1125 we discern that adequate information
will be dete1mined by the facts and circumstances of each case"); First Am. Bank of New York
v. Century Glove, Inc., 81 B.R. 274, 279 (D. Del. 1988) (noting that adequacy of disclosure for a
particular debtor will be dete1mined based on how much infmmation is available fiom outside
sources); S. Rep. No. 95-989, at 121 (1978), reprinted in 1978 U.S.C.C.A.N. 5787, 5907 ("[T]he
information required will necessarily be governed by the circumstances of the case.").
9. In accordance with these precepts, the Disclosure Statement provides a
review of the Debtors' assets and liabilities, the circumstances leading to the commencement of
these chapter 11 cases and a thorough summary of the Plan.
10. Specifically, the Debtors' Disclosure Statement contains the pertinent
information necessary for holders of eligible claims to make an infmmed decision about whether
to vote to accept or reject the Plan, including, among other things, information regarding:
the Plan, including a summary of the classification and treatment of all classes
of creditors and equity interests;
the history of the Debtors, including certain events leading to the
commencement of the chapter 11 cases;
the operation of the Debtors' business and significant events preceding the
chapter 11 cases;
the Debtors' prepetition capital structure and indebtedness;
the procedures for asse1iing ce1iain claims against the Debtors' estates;
certain risk factors to consider that may affect the Plan;
5
cetiain federal income tax law consequences of the Plan;
the provisions governing distributions under the Plan; and
the means for implementation of the Plan.
II. The Debtors respectfully submit that the Disclosure Statement complies
with all aspects of section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent necessary, the Debtors
will demonstrate at the hearing on approval of the Disclosure Statement that the Disclosure
Statement addresses the information set forth above in a manner that provides those entities
entitled to vote on the Plan with adequate information within the meaning of section 1125.
SOLICITATION PROCEDURES
I. Procedures for Solicitation and Tabulation of Votes
A. Approval of Forms of Ballots
12. In accordance with Bankruptcy Rules 3017(d) and 3018(c), the Debtors
propose to mail to the holders of Claims (the "Claimholders") entitled to vote on the Plan, one or
more form ballots, substantially in the forms annexed hereto collectively as Exhibit B and
incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the "Ballots"). The Ballots are substantially
similar to Official Form No. 14, but have been modified to be consistent with the specific
provisions of the Plan. The Ballots shall be delivered with instructions for completion. The
Debtors propose that the appropriate form of Ballot be distributed to the Claimholders in the
following classes entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan (the "Voting Classes"):
Ballot No.1 Class 2 Claims Ballot Prepetition Secured Lender
Claims
Ballot No.2 Class 5 Claims Ballot General Unsecured Claims
13. The foregoing Voting Classes are the only classes that will receive Ballots
as they are the only classes of Claims or Interests tltat will be entitled to vote under the Plan.
6
The remaining classes of Claims and Interests set forth below (the "Non-Voting Classes" and
together with the Voting Classes, the "Classes") are not entitled to vote on the Plan as they have
been conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan in accordance with section 1126() or
rejected the Plan in accordance with section 1126(g) ofthe Bankruptcy Code, as indicated:
Class 1 Other Priority Claims Deemed Accepting -
Unimpaired
Class 3 Other Secured Claims Deemed Accepting -
Unimpaired
Class 4 DIP Loan Claims Deemed Accepting -
Unimpaired
Class 6 Trade Claims Deemed Accepting -
Unimpaired
Class 7 Intercompany Claims Deemed Rejecting - Will not
receive or retain any property
Class 8 Interests in the Subsidiaries Deemed Accepting -
Unimpaired
Class 9 Interests in Crdentia Deemed Rejecting- Will not
receive or retain any property
14. In accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3017(d), the Debtors propose that the
aforementioned Non-Voting Classes of Claims and Interests not entitled to vote on the Plan
receive a notice to that effect, substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference (the "Non-Voting Notice"), and not receive a Solicitation
Package (as defined herein). However, a copy of the Plan and Disclosure Statement will be
made available to holders of Claims and Interests in the Non-Voting Classes upon written
request to proposed counsel for the Debtors.
15. The Debtors respectfully submit that the proposed Ballots are
appropriately tailored to the Plan and comply with Bankruptcy Rules 3017 and 3018.
Accordingly, by this Motion, the Debtors request that the Comt approve the proposed Ballots,
attached hereto as Exhibit B.
7
B. Voting Deadline for the Receipt of Ballots
16. Bankruptcy Rule 3017(c) provides that, "[o]n or before approval of the
disclosure statement, the court shall fix a time within which the holders of claims and interests
may accept or reject the plan .... " The Debtors anticipate commencing the Plan solicitation
period by mailing the Ballots, and other approved solicitation materials to the Voting Classes no
later than five (5) days after the entry of an order approving the Disclosure Statement. Based on
this schedule, the Debtors propose that all Ballots being cast must be properly executed,
completed and delivered, by either mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery, to the Balloting
Agent, so that the Ballots are actually received no later than 4:00 p.m., prevailing Bastem Time,
on May 13, 2010 (the "Voting Deadline"). This date will give Claimholders sufficient time to
review the solicitation materials and vote, and provides the Debtors with enough time to tabulate
the Ballots and prepare for issues that may be raised by the voted Ballots prior to the
Confirmation Hearing. Ballots received by facsimile or electronic mail will not be accepted or
counted.
C. Procedures for Tabulating Votes
17. Section 1126( c) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a class of claims
has accepted a plan if such plan has been accepted by creditors that hold at least two-thirds in
dollar amount and more than one-half in number of the allowed claims in that class that have
actually cast ballots for acceptance or rejection of the plan. See 11 U.S.C. 1126(c). At this
stage of these chapter 11 cases, and in light of the expeditious nature of these proceedings, the
claims process has yet to occur, and it would not be to the estates' advantage to defer
confirmation of the Plan until a claims filing/objection process has been initiated and completed.
Accordingly, solely for the purposes of voting on the Plan-and not for the purpose of allowance
of or distributions on account of any Claims and without prejudice to the Debtors' rights in any
8
other context-the Debtors propose that each Claim within a Voting Class entitled to vote to
accept or reject the Plan be temporarily allowed, in accordance with the following rules (the
"Tabulation Rules"):
a) If a Claim is scheduled on the Debtors' Schedules of Assets and Liabilities (the
"Schedules") in an amount greater than $0.00 and not listed as "disputed,"
"contingent," or "unliquidated" in the Schedules, such Claim will be temporarily
allowed for voting purposes in the amount set fmih in the Schedules.
b) If a proof of claim has been filed on account of such Claim before the Record
Date (as defined below), such Claim will be temporarily allowed for voting
pmposes in the noncontingent, liquidated and undisputed amount set fmih in the
proof of claim
c) If a proof of claim is filed dming the period commencing on the Record Date
through and including the General Bar Date (a "Post-Record Date Filed Claim'')
and such Claimant wants such Claim to be temporarily allowed for voting
purposes in the amount set forth in such Post-Record Date Filed Claim, then the
person or entity filing such Post-Record Date Filed Claim must (i) serve the
Balloting Agent by mail, overnight courier or personal delivery with a written
request for a provisional ballot (a "Provisional Ballot") so that such request is
received no later than the General Bar Date and (ii) timely file a Rule 3018
Motion (as defined below) in the manner herein prescribed.
d) If a Claim is deemed allowed under the Plan, such Claim will be temporarily
allowed for voting purposes in the amount set forth therein.
e) If a Claim is listed on the Schedules, or a proof of claim filed before the Record
Date is identified on its face, as contingent, unliquidated or disputed, either in
whole or in part, only the noncontingent, liquidated and undisputed portion, if
any, of such Claim will be deemed temporarily allowed for voting purposes,
subject to the other Tabulation Rules, and the remaining pmiion of such Claim
will be disallowed for voting pmposes.
f) If a Claim has been allowed pursuant to a stipulation approved by the Comi, such
Claim will be deemed allowed for voting purposes in the amount set fmih in such
stipulation.
g) If a Claim has been estimated or othe1wise allowed for voting purposes by order
of the Court, such Claim will be temporarily allowed for voting purposes in the
amount so estimated or allowed by the Comi.
h) If on or before April28, 2010 the Debtors have filed and served an objection to or
motion to disallow or reclassifY a Claim, or to allow or estimate the Claim in an
amount different from the amount asseJied in the Claim, such Claim will be
9
temporarily allowed for voting purposes in the lesser amount and classification
requested by such objection or motion.
i) If a holder of a Claim identifies a Claim amount in its Ballot that is less than the
amount otherwise calculated in accordance with the Tabulation Rules, the Claim
will be temporarily allowed for voting purposes in the lesser amount identified on
such Ballot.
j) Creditors will not be entitled to vote Claims to the extent such Claims duplicate or
have been superceded by other Claims filed by or on behalf of such creditors.
The Balloting Agent will determine whether a Claim is duplicative or superceded
in the Balloting Agent's discretion.
k) A party shall not be entitled to a vote on the Plan based upon a guarantee or other
theory of payment. There shall be allowed only one vote per Claim regardless of
how many Debtors may be subject to legal liability.
18. The foregoing Tabulation Rules are subject to further order of the Court to
the extent that a party moves for temporary allowance of its Claims or Interests in an amount
which is different fiom the amount that otherwise would apply to such Claim or Interest under
the Tabulation Rules.
19. The Debtors also propose the following additional procedures be utilized
in tabulating the Ballots (the "Tabulation Procedures"):
a) Except to the extent the Debtors otherwise determine, or as pemritted by the
Court, any Ballots received after the Voting Deadline will not be accepted or
counted by the Debtors in connection with the Debtors' request for confirmation
of the Plan.
b) Any Ballot which is otherwise properly completed, executed and timely returned
that does not indicate an acceptance or rejection of the Plan shall not be counted.
c) Any Ballot which is retumed indicating acceptance or rejection of the Plan but
which is unsigned shall not be counted.
d) Whenever a Claimholder casts more than one Ballot voting the same Claim or
Interest prior to the Voting Deadline, only the last timely Ballot received will be
deemed to reflect the voter's intent and will thus supersede any prior Ballots.
e) If a Claimholder casts simultaneous duplicative Ballots which are voted
inconsistently, such Ballots shall count as one vote accepting the Plan and the
releases contained therein.
10
f) Each Clairnholder shall be deemed to have voted the full amount of its Claim or
Interest as set f01th on the Ballot.
g) Clairnholders shall not split their vote within a Claim, thus each Claimholder shall
vote all of its Claim within a particular class either to accept or reject the Plan.
h) Ballots partially rejecting and pattially accepting the Plan shall not be counted.
i) The method of delivery of Ballots to the Balloting Agent is at the risk of each
Clairnholder, and such delivery will be deemed made only when the original
Ballot is actually received by the Balloting Agent.
j) No Ballot should be sent to the Debtors, agents of the Debtors (other than the
Balloting Agent) or the Debtors' financial or legal advisors (other than the
Balloting Agent).
k) The Debtors expressly reserve the right to amend the terms ofthe Plan (subject to
compliance with section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code). If the Debtors make
material changes in the terms of the Plan, the Debtors will disseminate additional
solicitation materials and extend the solicitation period, in each case to the extent
required by law or further order of the Coutt.
I) If a Ballot is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-
fact, officer of a corporation, or other person acting in a fiduciary or
representative capacity on behalf of a Claimholder, such person shall be required
to indicate such capacity when signing and, at the Balloting Agent's discretion,
must submit proper evidence satisfactory to the Balloting Agent to so act on
behalf of the Clairnholder.
m) The Debtors, in their sole discretion, subject to contrmy order of the Court, may
waive any defect in any Ballot at any time, either before or after the close of
voting, and without notice. Unless the Ballot being furnished is timely submitted
on or prior to the Voting Deadline, the Debtors may, in their sole discretion, reject
such Ballot as invalid and, therefore, not count it in connection with confirmation
of the Plan.
n) In the event a designation is requested under section 1126( e) of the Bankruptcy
Code, any vote to accept or reject the Plan cast with respect to such Claim will not
be counted for purposes of determining whether the Plan has been accepted or
rejected, unless the Coutt orders otherwise.
o) Any Claimholder who has delivered a valid Ballot voting on the Plan may
withdraw such vote solely in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3018(a).
p) Subject to any contraty order of the Coutt, the Debtors reserve the absolute right
to reject any and all Ballots not proper in form, the acceptance of which would, in
the opinion of the Debtors or their counsel, not be in accordance with the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or the Disclosure Statement Order.
11
q) Subject to any contraty order of the Court, the Debtors further reserve the right to
waive any defects or inegulmities or conditions of delivery as to any particular
Ballot unless otherwise directed by the Court.
r) Unless waived or as ordered by the Court, any defects or inegulmities in
connection with deliveries of Ballots must be cured within such time as the
Debtors (or the Comt) determines, and unless otherwise ordered by the Court,
delivery of such Ballots will not be deemed to have been made until such
inegulmities have been cured or waived.
s) Neither the Debtors, nor any other person or entity, will be under any duty to
provide notification of defects or inegulmities with respect to deliveries of Ballots
nor will any of them incur any liabilities for failure to provide such notification.
Unless otherwise directed by the Conrt, delivery of such Ballots will not be
deemed to have been made until such irregularities have been cured or waived.
Ballots previously furnished (and as to which any inegularities have theretofore
not been cured or waived) will not be counted.
t) Any Ballot received by telecopier, facsimile or other electronic communication
shall not be counted.
u) For purposes of determining whether the numerosity and amount requirements of
section 1126( c) of the Bankmptcy Code have been satisfied, the Balloting Agent
will tabulate only those Ballots received prior to the Voting Deadline.
20. Upon completion of balloting, the Balloting Agent will ce1tify the amount
and number of allowed Claims of each Voting Class accepting or rejecting the Plan and the
amount of allowed Interests of each Voting Class accepting or rejecting the plan. The Debtors
will file such ce1tifications with the Comt prior to the Confirmation Hearing.
21. The Debtors respectfully submit that the Tabulation Rules and Tabulation
Procedures will establish a fair and equitable voting process, particularly given the right of
patties to seek temporaty allowance of their Claims on some other basis, as described in greater
detail below. Therefore, the Debtors seek this Comt's approval of such proposed rules.
D. Procedures for Temporary Allowance of Claims
22. The Debtors propose that (i) any holder of a Claim that seeks to challenge
the temporaty allowance of its Claim for voting purposes based on the Tabulation Rules and
12
Tabulation Procedures, or (ii) any party that has timely filed a Post-Record Date Filed Claim, be
required to file a motion, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3018(a)/ for an order temporarily
allowing its Claim in a different amount or classification for purposes of voting to accept or
reject the Plan (a "Rule 3018 Motion") and serve the Rule 3018 Motion on the Debtors so that it
is received no later than 4:00p.m, prevailing Eastem Time, on May 7, 2010. The Debtors will
then have until May 14, 2010, (a) to file and serve any responses to Rule 3018 Motions and (b)
coordinate with the Comt to schedule a hearing on or about May 17, 2010, which may be the
hearing on confirmation of the Plan, to adjudicate all pending Rule 3018 Motions and responses
thereto. In accordance with Bankluptcy Rule 3018, the Debtors further propose that any Ballot
submitted by a Claimholder that ftles a Rule 3018 Motion will be counted solely in accordance
with the Tabulation Rules and other applicable provisions contained herein unless and until the
underlying Claim is temporarily allowed by the Court for voting purposes in a different amount,
after notice and a hearing.
II. Confirmation Hearing, Record Date and Solicitation Packages
a) The Confirmation Hearing and Notice Thereof
23. Bankruptcy Rule 3017(c) provides that, on or before the approval of the
Disclosure Statement, the Court "may fix the date for the hearing on confirmation." In
accordance with this provision, the Debtors' request that the Confirmation Hearing be set for a
date on or about May 17, 2010. In the interests of orderly procedure, the Debtors further request
that objections to confmnation of the Plan, if any, must: (a) be in writing; (b) state the name and
address of the objecting pmty and the nature of the Claim or Interest of such party; (c) state with
pmticularity the basis and nature of any objections to confirmation of the Plan; and (d) be filed
3
Bankruptcy Rule 3018(a) provides, io relevant part, that the "court after notice and heariog may temporarily allow
the claim or ioterest io an amount which the court deems proper for the purposes of acceptiog or rejecting a plan."

King Street, Suite 2207, Wihnington, DE 19801; and (v) counsel for any statutory committee(s)
appointed in these cases, so that they are received no later than 4:00 p.m., prevailing Eastern
Time, on May 10, 2010 (the "Confirmation Objection Deadline"). The Debtors reserve the right
to file a consolidated reply to any such objection no later than May 14, 2010.
24. Bankruptcy Rule 2002(b) requires that the Debtors provide notice to all
creditors and parties in interest at least 28 days prior to the deadline for filing objections to
confirmation of the Plan, and the Confirmation Hearing. Bankruptcy Rule 2002( d), in tum,
requires that equity security holders be given notice of these matters in the manner and form
directed by the Comt. In accordance with these provisions, the Debtors propose to serve a copy
of the notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the "Confirmation Hearing
Notice") on: (a) all pmties set forth on the creditors matrix maintained by the Debtors' Balloting
Agent and supplied to the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court, (b) all members of the Voting Classes,
(c) the Secmities and Exchange Commission, (d) Intemal Revenue Service, (e) the United States
Attomey for the District of Delaware, (f) the United States Trustee, (g) the registered holders of

and (d) the time, date and place of the Confirmation Hearing.
25. In addition to mailing the Confirmation Hearing Notice, the Debtors
propose to publish a shmtened version of the Confirmation Hearing Notice at least once no later
than twenty (20) days before the Confirmation Objection Deadline in the National Edition of The
Wall Street Journal.
b. The Record Date
26. Bankruptcy Rule 3017(d) provides that the Couti may set the date on
which the Disclosure Statement is approved as the record date for determining which creditors
and equity security holders are entitled to receive solicitation materials, including ballots for
voting on a plan of reorganization. See Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3017(d). Accordingly, the Debtors
request that the Court establish March 17, 2010 as the record date (the "Record Date") for
purposes of determining which holders of Claims are entitled to receive Solicitation Packages
and, as applicable, vote on the Plan, provided, however, that Claimholders shall have the right to
file Rule 3018 Motion pursuant to the Tabulation Rules and Tabulation Procedures.
27. With respect to any transferred Claim, the Debtors propose that the
transferee will be entitled to receive a Solicitation Package and cast a Ballot on account of the
transfened Claim only if: (a) all actions necessary to effect the transfer of payment and interest

c. The Solicitation Packages
28. Bankruptcy Rule 3017(d) identifies the materials that must be provided to
the claimholders for purposes of soliciting votes and providing adequate notice of the hearing on
confirmation of a plan:
Upon approval of a disclosure statement,-except to the extent that
the court orders otherwise with respect to one or more unimpaired
classes of creditors or equity security holders-the debtor in
possession, trustee, proponent of the plan, or clerk as the court
orders shall mail to all creditors and equity security holders, and in
a chapter 11 reorganization case shall transmit to the United States
trustee,
(1) the plan or a court-approved summary of the plan;
(2) the disclosure statement approved by the comt;
(3) notice of the time within which acceptances and
rejections of the plan may be filed; and
( 4) any other information as the comt may direct,
including any court opmron approving the
disclosure statement or a court-approved summary
of the opinion.
In addition, notice of the time fixed for filing objections and the
hearing on confirmation shall be mailed to all creditors and equity
security holders in accordance with [Bankruptcy] Rule 2002(b),
and a form of ballot conforming to the appropriate Official Form
shall be mailed to creditors and equity security holders entitled to
vote on the plan.
Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3017(d).
29. In accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 30 17( d), the Debtors propose that,
after entry of the order approving the Disclosure Statement, the following materials be mailed by
the Balloting Agent to all Claimholders in the Voting Classes (the "Solicitation Package"):
a) the Confirmation Hearing Notice;
b) the Disclosure Statement (together with exhibits thereto, including the Plan, that
have been filed with the Court as of the date of mailing);
16
c) any applicable letters from the Debtors and any other parties in interest
recommending that the Claimholders vote to accept the Plan, which letters shall
be filed with the Comt prior to the hearing on approval of the Disclosure
Statement;
d) an appropriate form of Ballot, and a Ballot return envelope; and
f) a copy of the Disclosure Statement Order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the
Disclosure Statement.
30. Consistent with sections 1126(f) and 1126(g) of the Bank:mptcy Code and
Bankruptcy Rule 3017(d), the Debtors request that no Solicitation Packages be mailed to holders
of Claims and Interests in Classes that are conclusively deemed to accept or reject the Plan;
namely, the Non-Voting Classes. However, as previously noted, in accordance with Bankmptcy
Rule 3017(d), the Debtors propose that the Non-Voting Classes shall receive the Non-Voting
Notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto.
31. The Balloting Agent will mail the Solicitation Packages no later than five
(5) business days after the entry of an order approving the Disclosure Statement to: (a) the
holders of Claims in the Voting Classes, as applicable, (b) all pmties that have filed requests for
notice in the chapter 11 cases on or before the Record Date; and (c) the United States Trustee for
the District of Delaware.
32. The Debtors submit that the foregoing procedures for providing notice of
the Confnmation Hearing, the Confirmation Objection Deadline and related matters fully comply
with Bankmptcy Rules 2002 and 3017 and the time limits set forth therein, and are both fair to
holders of Claims and Interests and other parties in interest and are calculated to result in votes
and objections that will be known in sufficient time to permit an organized and efficient
Confi1mation Heming. Accordingly, the Debtors respectfully request that the Comt approve such
notice procedures as appropriate under the circumstances and in compliance with the
requirements of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules and the Local Rules.

33. Notwithstanding the foregoing notice requirements, the Debtors seek a
wmver fiom the service requirements with respect to the Confirmation Heming Notice and
Solicitation Package for parties on whom the Disclosure Statement Hearing Notice was served
but retumed as undeliverable and the Debtors could not locate a cunent address after reasonable
diligence.
d. Cure Procedures
34. The Plan contemplates the assumption of all executory contracts and
unexpired leases indentified on a Plan Supplement to be filed prior to confirmation. The Debtors
have formulated and request approval of the following procedures for determining cure amounts
tlnough the Confirmation Date (as defined in the Plan) of the Plan (including amounts of
compensation for actual pecuniary loss, the "Cure Amounts") and the deadline for objections to
the assumption and/or assignment of contracts and/or leases to be assumed and/or assigned in
connection with the Plan (collectively, the "Cure Procedures"):
(a) No later than the deadline set forth in the Plan for the filing of the Plan
Supplement, the Debtors, in consultation with the Secured Lender, shall
prepare, file with the Comt and distribute to non-Debtor pmties to any
executory contracts and unexpired non-residential real prope1ty leases
anticipated to be assumed pursuant to the Plan (the "Anticipated Assumed
Contracts and Leases") a notice (a ''Notice of Assignment") listing (i) the
Anticipated Assumed Contracts and Leases, and (ii) the Cure Amounts, if
any.
(b) The non-Debtor pmties to the Anticipated Assumed Contracts and Leases
shall have until May 13, 2010 at 4:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time)
(the "Contract Objection Deadline"), which deadline may be extended in
the sole discretion ofthe Debtors, in consultation with Com Vest, to object
(a "Contract Objection") to (i) the Cure Amounts listed by the Debtors and
to propose alternative cure amounts, and/or (ii) the proposed assumption
and assignment of the Anticipated Assumed Contracts and Leases
pursuant to the Plan.
(c) Any pmty objecting to the Cure Amounts, whether or not such pmty
previously has filed a proof of claim with respect to amounts due under
the applicable agreement, or objecting to the potential assumption and
18
i
(d)
assignment of Anticipated Assumed Contracts and Leases, shall be
required to file and serve a Contract Objection, in writing, setting fmth
with specificity any and all cure obligations that the objecting party asse1ts
must be cured or satisfied in respect of the Anticipated Assumed Contracts
and Leases and/or any and all objections to the potential assumption and
assignment of such agreements, together with all documentation
supporting such cure claim or objection, upon the Objection Notice Parties
so that the Contract Objection is received no later than 4:00 p.m.
(prevailing Eastern Time) on the Contract Objection Deadline or the
Amended Contract Objection Deadline, as applicable. If a Contract
Objection is timely filed, the Banktuptcy Comt shall hear any such
Contract Objection and determine the amount of any disputed cure amount
or objection to assumption and assignment not settled by the parties at the
Confirmation Hearing or such later date as the Court may deem
appropriate.
In the event that no Contract Objection is timely filed, the applicable pmty
shall be deemed to have consented to the Cure Amount proposed by the
Debtors and shall be forever enjoined and barred from seeking any
additional amount on account of the Debtors' cure obligations under
section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise fiom the Debtors, their
estates, the Reorganized Debtors, Com Vest, the purchaser or their
respective prope1ties on account of the assumption and assignment of such
executory contract or unexpired non-residential real property lease and
deemed to have consented to the proposed assignment and assumption. In
addition, if no timely Contract Objection is filed, the Reorganized Debtors
shall enjoy all of the rights and benefits under all Anticipated Assumed
Contracts and Leases, without the necessity of obtaining any party's
written consent to the Debtors' assumption and assignment of such rights
and benefits, and each such pmty shall be deemed to have waived any
right to object to, consent to, condition or otherwise restrict any such
assumption and assignment.
NO PRIOR REQUEST
35. No prior request for the relief sought herein has been made by the Debtors
to this or any other Comt.
NOTICE
36. No trustee, examiner or creditors' committee has been appointed in these
chapter 11 cases. Copies of this Motion, the Disclosure Statement, the Plan and a notice of the

releases contained therein.

duplicative or superceded in the Balloting Agent's discretion.
11) A pmty shall not be entitled to a vote on the Plan based upon a gumantee or
other theory of payment. There shall be allowed only one vote per Claim
regardless of how many Debtors may be subject to legal liability.
(c) The following additional procedures have also been approved by the Comt to be
utilized in tabulating the Ballots with respect to Ballots submitted by a holder of a
Claim or Interest:
1) Except to the extent the Debtors otherwise determine, or as permitted by the
Comt, any Ballots received after the Voting Deadline will not be accepted
or counted by the Debtors in connection with the Debtors' request for
confirmation of the Plan.
2) Any Ballot which is otherwise properly completed, executed and timely
retmned that does not indicate an acceptance or rejection of the Plan shall
not be counted.
3) Any Ballot which is retmned indicating acceptance or rejection of the Plan
but which is unsigned shall not be counted.
4) Whenever a Clairnholder casts more than one Ballot voting the same Claim
or Interest prior to the Voting Deadline, only the last timely Ballot received
will be deemed to reflect the voter's intent and will thus supersede any prior
Ballots.
3
5) If a Claimholder casts simultaneous duplicative Ballots which are voted
inconsistently, such Ballots shall co\lllt as one vote accepting the Plan and
the releases contained therein.
6) Each Claimholder shall be deemed to have voted the full amount of its
Claim or Interest as set forth on the Ballot.
7) Claimholders shall not split their vote within a Claim, thus each
Claimholder shall vote all of its Claim within a particular class either to
accept or reject the Plan.
8) Ballots partially rejecting and partially accepting the Plan shall not be
counted.
9) The method of delivery of Ballots to the Balloting Agent is at the risk of
each Claimholder, and such delivery will be deemed made only when the
original Ballot is actually received by the Balloting Agent.
1 0) No Ballot should be sent to the Debtors, agents of the Debtors (other than
the Balloting Agent) or the Debtors' financial or legal advisors (other than
the Balloting Agent).
11) The Debtors expressly reserve the right to amend the terms of the Plan
(subject to compliance with section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code). If the
Debtors make material changes in the terms of the Plan, the Debtors will
disseminate additional solicitation materials and extend the solicitation
period, in each case to the extent required by law or further order of the
Comt.
12) If a Ballot is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian,
attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation, or other person acting in a
fiduciary or representative capacity on behalf of a Claimholder, such person
shall be required to indicate such capacity when signing and, at the
Balloting Agent's discretion, must submit proper evidence satisfactory to
the Balloting Agent to so act on behalf of the Claimholder.
13) The Debtors, in their sole discretion, subject to contnuy order of the Comt,
may waive any defect in any Ballot at any time, either before or after the
close of voting, and without notice. Unless the Ballot being furnished is
timely submitted on or prior to the Voting Deadline, the Debtors may, in
their sole discretion, reject such Ballot as invalid and, therefore, not count it
in connection with confirmation of the Plan.
14) In the event a designation is requested under section 1126(e) of the
Bank:mptcy Code, any vote to accept or reject the Plan cast with respect to
such Claim will not be counted for purposes of detennining whether the
Plan has been accepted or rejected, unless the Court orders otherwise.
4
15) Any Claimholder who has delivered a valid Ballot voting on the Plan may
withdraw such vote solely in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3018(a).
16) Subject to any contrary order of the Comi, the Debtors reserve the absolute
right to reject any and all Ballots not proper in form, the acceptance of
which would, in the opinion of the Debtors or their counsel, not be in
accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or the Disclosure
Statement Order.
17) Subject to any contrary order of the Court, the Debtors fiuiher reserve the
right to waive any defects or inegularities or conditions of delivery as to
any particular Ballot unless otherwise directed by the Court.
18) Unless waived or as ordered by the Court, any defects or irregularities in
connection with deliveries of Ballots must be cured within such time as the
Debtors (or the Comi) determines, and unless otherwise ordered by the
Court, delivery of such Ballots will not be deemed to have been made until
such irregularities have been cured or waived.
19) Neither the Debtors, nor any other person or entity, will be under any duty
to provide notification of defects or inegularities with respect to deliveries
of Ballots nor will any of them incur any liabilities for failure to provide
such notification. Unless otherwise directed by the Court, delivery of such
Ballots will not be deemed to have been made until such inegularities have
been cured or waived. Ballots previously furnished (and as to which any
inegularities have theretofore not been cured or waived) will not be
counted.
20) Any Ballot received by telecopier, facsimile or other electronic
communication shall not be counted.
21) For purposes of determining whether the numerosity and amount
requirements of section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code have been
satisfied, the Balloting Agent will tabulate only those Ballots received prior
to the Voting Deadline.
(d) The allowance or disallowance of your Claim for voting purposes does not
constitute an allowance or disallowance of your Claim for purposes of receiving
distributions under the Plan and is without prejudice to the rights of the Debtors in
any other context, including the right of the Debtors to contest the amount or
validity of any Claim for purposes of allowance and distribution under the Plan.
