Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 15, 2023, the Company entered into the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to Super-Priority Senior Secured Debtor-In-Possession Note Purchase Agreement (the “DIP Note Purchase Agreement”) among the Company, as a Chapter 11 Debtor and Debtor-in-Possession, Capstone Turbine International, Inc. and Capstone Turbine Financial Services, LLC, each as a Chapter 11 Debtor and Debtor-in Possession and as a Guarantor, Broad Street Credit Holdings LLC (the “Purchaser”) as Purchaser, and Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group, L.P. as collateral agent for the Purchaser (the “Collateral Agent”). The First Amendment provides for (i) waiver by the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent of the Company’s breach of the covenant to have achieved certain milestones with respect of the Chapter 11 Cases (as defined below) and (ii) amended certain milestones, specifically that the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered the Final Order approving the DIP Note Purchase Agreement and shall have held a confirmation hearing and entered a Confirmation Order (as defined below) by no later than November 15, 2023 and that the Plan (as defined below) shall become effective by no later than November 30, 2023.

On November 15, 2023, the Company issued, and the Purchaser funded, $3.0 million in new money debtor-in-possession notes (“New Money DIP Notes”). The proceeds of the New Money DIP Notes will be used to fund restructuring expenses, for working capital and general corporate purposes. Borrowings under the DIP Note Purchase Agreement bear interest at a rate of the SOFR Rate plus 8.75% per annum, which is payable in kind by capitalizing the amount of such interest accrued and adding such accrued amounts to the outstanding principal of the New Money DIP Notes. The New Money DIP Notes mature on the earlier of (i) forty-two (42) calendar days after the Petition Date, (ii) the date that is thirty-five (35) calendar days after the Petition Date if the Final Order has not been entered by the Bankruptcy Court on or before such date; (iii) the date of consummation of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of any of the Debtors pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; (iv) the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default not waived by Purchaser; (v) the substantial consummation or effective date of any Chapter 11 plan in the Chapter 11 Cases; (vi) the date the Bankruptcy Court enters an order for the conversion of any of the Chapter 11 Cases of any Debtors to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; and (vii) dismissal of any of the Chapter 11 Cases of any Debtor. Upon the Debtors’ emergence from bankruptcy, it is expected that the DIP Note Purchase Agreement will be replaced by the Exit Facility described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on September 28, 2023 (the “Prior 8-K”).

The DIP Note Purchase Agreement includes protections customary for financings of this type and size, including the reaffirmation of superpriority claims and priming liens on the Debtors’ assets, liens on previously unencumbered assets, in each case subject to certain Permitted Liens, and other protections set forth in the order approving the DIP Note Purchase Agreement. The DIP Note Purchase Agreement also includes conditions precedent, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, events of default, and other customary provisions.

The foregoing description of the First Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the First Amendment filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.03

Bankruptcy or Receivership

As previously disclosed, on September 28, 2023 (the “Petition Date”), Capstone Green Energy Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Capstone Turbine International, Inc. (“Capstone Turbine International”) and Capstone Turbine Financial Services, LLC (together with Capstone Turbine International and the Company, the “Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 (“Chapter 11”) of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered only for procedural purposes under the caption In re Capstone Green Energy Corporation, Case No. 23-11634 (LSS) (Bankr. D. Del.).

On the Petition Date, the Debtors (i) entered into a Transaction Support Agreement (the “TSA”) with Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group, L.P., in its capacity as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”) under that certain Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2020 (as amended, the “Note Purchase Agreement”), and Broad Street Credit Holdings LLC, an affiliate of the Collateral Agent, in its capacity as purchaser (“Purchaser” and, together with the Collateral Agent, the “Pre-Petition Secured Parties”) under the Note Purchase Agreement and (ii) filed with the Bankruptcy Court a joint prepackaged chapter 11 plan of reorganization (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Plan”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Plan or TSA, as applicable.

The TSA and Plan contemplate the Debtors effectuating certain transactions (collectively, the “Restructuring”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company shall become a private company (“Reorganized PrivateCo”) that shall continue to own assets consisting of (i) all of the Company’s right, title, and interest in and to certain trademarks of the Company and (ii) all assets owned by the Company relating to distributor support services (the “Retained Assets”), and Capstone Turbine International shall be re-named Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc. and expects to be a successor to the Company for purposes of Securities and Exchange Commission reporting following emergence. We also expect that certain income tax attributes will remain with Reorganized PrivateCo. All liabilities and assets other than those directly related to the Retained Assets and otherwise described in the Plan will be transferred to a newly formed subsidiary of Reorganized PublicCo (“New Subsidiary”), which shall be named Capstone Green Energy LLC and shall be the primary operating entity.

On October 24, 2023, in accordance with the TSA and the Plan, the Debtors filed a supplement to the Plan (the “Plan Supplement”) with the Bankruptcy Court, which included, among other things, (i) a valuation of the Reorganized Debtors, (ii) a schedule of rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, (iii) a schedule of Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, (iv) a description of Retained Causes of Action, and (v) identification of the officers and board members for New Subsidiary and Reorganized PublicCo. The foregoing description of the Plan Supplement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan Supplement previously disclosed.

On November 14, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Plan, including the Plan Supplement and all exhibits and schedules thereto, and all other documents filed in connection with the Plan. A copy of the Confirmation Order, with a copy of the Plan as confirmed attached thereto, is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.  

The Plan provides for $7.0 million of new money exit financing, an increase from the originally contemplated $5.0 million of new money exit financing.  

The Plan, the Plan Supplement, and related documents are available free of charge on the restructuring website administrated by the Debtors’ claims and noticing agent, Kroll Restructuring Administration LLC (“Kroll”), at https://cases.ra.kroll.com/capstone (the “Claims Agent Website”), which contains important information about the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company does not plan to file a Current Report on Form 8-K each time information, including any Plan supplement, is filed with the Bankruptcy Court or is made available at such website.

The Claims Agent Website contains third-party content and is provided for convenience only. The documents and other information available on the Claims Agent Website are not incorporated by reference into, and do not constitute a part of, this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Cautionary Note Regarding Trading in the Company’s Securities

Following delisting from Nasdaq, the common stock of the Company is currently traded on the “Expert Market” of the OTC Markets Group, which only provides for unsolicited customer orders, and quotations in Expert Market securities are restricted from public viewing and are only available to certain eligible investors.

4


FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED, FOUND, ADJUDGED, DECREED, AND ORDERED THAT:

A.Findings and Conclusions.
1.The findings and conclusions set forth herein and on the record of the Combined Hearing constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law under Bankruptcy Rules 7052 and 9014.  To the extent any of the following findings of fact constitute conclusions of law, or vice versa, they are adopted as such.
B.Jurisdiction, Venue, and Core Proceeding.
2.The Bankruptcy Court has jurisdiction over these Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to section 1334 of title 28 of the United States Code.  The Bankruptcy Court has exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether the Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and should be confirmed.  Venue is proper in this district pursuant to sections 1408 and 1409 of title 28 of the United States Code.  Confirmation of the Plan is a core proceeding within the meaning of section 157(b)(2) of title 28 of the United States Code, and the Bankruptcy Court may enter a final order consistent with Article III of the United States Constitution.
C.Eligibility for Relief.
3.The Debtors were and are entities eligible for relief under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code.
D.Commencement and Joint Administration of These Chapter 11 Cases.

5


operated their businesses and managed their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.  No official committee, trustee or examiner has been appointed in these Chapter 11 Cases.  
E.Pre-Petition Marketing and Good Faith.
5.In the events leading up to these Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors explored a variety of alternatives with the goal of maximizing the value of the Debtors’ Estates.  The Debtors’ officers, directors, financial advisors, attorneys, investment bankers and other professionals that were involved with the formulation, negotiation, documentation, and approval of the filing of these Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan, and the Transaction Support Agreement, and who pursued, analyzed, negotiated, and documented the transactions contemplated thereunder, acted in good faith and made informed decisions in connection therewith, including the decision to implement the Restructuring.  The Pre-Petition Secured Party, the NPA Collateral Agent, the DIP Purchaser, the DIP Agent and each of their respective partners, officers, directors, employees, advisors and professionals acted in good faith in negotiating, formulating and proposing, where applicable, the Plan and the Transaction Support Agreement, and the agreements, compromises, settlements, transactions and transfers contemplated thereby.
F.Notice.
6.Notice of the Plan and the Combined Hearing, together with the deadlines for voting to accept or reject the Plan as well as objecting to the Plan, has been provided in accordance with the Scheduling Order, as set forth in the Voting Declaration.
7.Such notice was appropriate and satisfactory based upon the facts and circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases and pursuant to sections 1125 and 1128 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 3017, 3018, and 3020, and other applicable law and rules.  Because such transmittal and service were adequate and sufficient, no other or further notice is necessary

6


or shall be required, and due, proper, timely, and adequate notice of the Combined Hearing has been provided in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and applicable non-bankruptcy law.
G.Solicitation.
8.Prior to the Petition Date, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, and the Ballot (collectively, the “Solicitation Package”) were transmitted and served in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, the Solicitation Procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court via the Scheduling Order, and all other applicable rules, laws, and regulations applicable to such solicitation.  Transmission and service of the Solicitation Package was timely, adequate and sufficient.  No further notice is required.
9.As set forth in the Voting Declaration, on September 27, 2023, prior to the Petition Date, the Solicitation Package was transmitted to and served on the eligible holders of Class 2 Pre-Petition Secured Claims, which was the only Class of Claims entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan (the “Voting Class”).
10.Each eligible holder of a Claim in the Voting Class received a Ballot.  The form of the Ballots adequately addressed the particular needs of these Chapter 11 Cases and was appropriate for the holders of Claims in the Voting Class.  The instructions on each Ballot advised that for the Ballot to be counted, the Ballot had to be properly executed, completed, and delivered to the Claims and Noticing Agent so that it was actually received by the Claims and Noticing Agent on or before the applicable Voting Deadline.  The period during which the Debtors solicited acceptance of the Plan was a reasonable period of time for holders of Claims in the Voting Class to make an informed decision to accept or reject the Plan.
11.The Debtors were not required to solicit votes from the holders of Claims in
Class 1 (Secured Tax Claims), Class 3 (Other Secured Claims), Class 4 (Other Priority Claims),

7


Class 5 (General Unsecured Claims) and Class 7 (Intercompany Interests), as well as certain holders of Claims in Class 6 (Intercompany Claims) (collectively, the “Unimpaired Classes”), as each such Class is Unimpaired under the Plan and thus presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code.  
12.The Debtors were not required to solicit votes from holders of Claims or Interests in Class 9 (Section 510(b) Claims) and certain holders of Claims in Class 6 (Intercompany Claims), as the holders of Claims or Interests in such Classes are Impaired and not entitled to receive distributions on account of their Claims or Interests under the Plan and, thus, are deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code.  
13.The Debtors were not required to solicit votes from holders of Interests in Class 8 (Equity Interests), as the holders of Interests in such Class (together with the holders of Claims or Interests in Class 9 and certain holders of Claims in Class 6, the “Deemed Rejecting Classes”) are deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code.
14.As described in and as evidenced by the Voting Declaration, the transmittal and service of the Solicitation Packages (all of the foregoing, the “Solicitation”) was timely, adequate, and sufficient under the circumstances and no other or further Solicitation was or shall be required.  The Solicitation complied with the Solicitation Procedures, was appropriate and satisfactory based upon the circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases, was conducted in good faith and was in compliance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, the Scheduling Order, and any other applicable rules, laws, and regulations.
H.Adequacy of the Disclosure Statement.
15.The Disclosure Statement (a) contains sufficient information of a kind necessary to satisfy the disclosure requirements of all applicable non-bankruptcy rules, laws, and regulations, including the Securities Act, and (b) contains “adequate information” (as such term is defined in

8


section 1125(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and used in section 1126(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code) with respect to the Debtors, the Plan, and the transactions contemplated therein.
I.Voting.
16.The Voting Declaration filed with the Bankruptcy Court certifies the method and results of the Ballots tabulated for the Voting Class.  As of the Voting Deadline, one-hundred percent (100%) in number and one-hundred percent (100%) in dollar amount of the holders of Claims in Class 2 (Pre-Petition Secured Claims) that timely voted, voted to accept the Plan, without counting the votes of any insider (as such term is defined in section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code).  As evidenced by the Voting Declaration, votes to accept or reject the Plan have been solicited and tabulated fairly, in good faith, and in a manner consistent with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Solicitation Procedures, and the Local Rules.
J.Plan Supplements.
17.On October 24, 2023, the Debtors filed the Plan Supplement, consisting of a valuation of the Reorganized Debtors, a schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, a schedule of Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, a description of Retained Causes of Action, and the identities of the officers and board members for New Subsidiary and Reorganized PublicCo [Docket No. 71].  On November 9, 2023, the Debtors filed the Amended Plan Supplement, consisting of a description of the Retained Assets and Retained Contracts, the identities of additional directors and officers of the Reorganized Debtors and Reorganized PrivateCo, certain organizational documents of the Reorganized Debtors, and a Trademark License Agreement.
18.All such materials comply with the terms of the Plan, and the filing and notice of the Plan Supplements was proper and in accordance with the Plan, the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and all applicable law and no other or further notice is or shall

9


be required.  All documents included in the Plan Supplements are integral to, part of, and incorporated by reference into the Plan as if set forth in full therein.
K.Modifications of the Plan.
19.Pursuant to and in compliance with section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019, the Debtors proposed certain modifications to the Plan as reflected herein, in the Plan Supplements, and/or in the Plan filed with the Bankruptcy Court prior to entry of this Confirmation Order (collectively, the “Plan Modifications”).  In accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3019, the Plan Modifications do not (a) constitute material modifications of the Plan under section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) cause the Plan to fail to meet the requirements of sections 1122 or 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, (c) materially and adversely change the treatment of any Claims, (d) require re-solicitation of any holders of any Claims or Interests, or (e) require that holders of Claims in the Voting Class be afforded an opportunity to change their previously cast acceptances of the Plan.  Under the circumstances, the form and manner of notice of the proposed Plan Modifications are adequate, and no other or further notice of the proposed Plan Modifications is necessary or required.  In accordance with section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019, all holders of Claims who voted to accept the Plan or who are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan are deemed to have accepted the Plan as modified by the Plan Modifications.  The holders of Claims in the Voting Class are not permitted to change their respective acceptances to rejections as a consequence of the Plan Modifications.
L.Burden of Proof: Confirmation of the Plan.
20.The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have met their burden of proving the applicable elements of sections 1129(a) and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code by a preponderance of the evidence, which is the applicable evidentiary standard for Confirmation.

10


M.Compliance with Bankruptcy Code Requirements: Section 1129(a)(1).
21.The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code as required by section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, including, more particularly:  
(i)Proper Classification: Sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1).
22.Article III of the Plan provides for the separate classification of Claims and Interests into nine Classes.  Valid business, factual, and legal reasons exist for the separate classification of such Classes of Claims and Interests.  The classifications reflect no improper purpose and do not unfairly discriminate between, or among, holders of Claims or Interests.  Each Class of Claims and Interests contains only Claims or Interests that are substantially similar to other Claims or Interests within that Class.  The Plan therefore satisfies sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(ii)Specified Unimpaired Classes: Section 1123(a)(2).
23.Article III of the Plan specifies that Claims in the following Classes are Unimpaired under the Plan, thereby satisfying section 1123(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code:

Class

1

Secured Tax Claims

3

Other Secured Claims

(iii)Specified Treatment of Impaired Classes: Section 1123(a)(3).
24.Article III of the Plan specifies that the Claims in the following Classes are Impaired under the Plan, and describes the treatment of such Classes, thereby satisfying section 1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code:

4

Holders of Class 6 Intercompany Claims are either Unimpaired and presumed to accept the Plan or Impaired and deemed to reject the Plan.

(iv)No Discrimination: Section 1123(a)(4).
25.Article III of the Plan provides for the same treatment by the Debtors for each Claim or Interest in each respective Class unless the holder of a particular Claim or Interest has agreed to a less favorable treatment of such Claim or Interest in accordance with the Plan, thereby satisfying section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(v)Adequate Means for Plan Implementation: Section 1123(a)(5).
26.The Plan, including the various documents and agreements in the Plan Supplements, provides adequate and proper means for implementation of the Plan, including, without limitation:  (a) the satisfaction of Claims and Interests; (b) the occurrence of transactions on or after the Effective Date to effect the Restructuring; (c) the creation and funding of the New Debt Facility; (d) the offering and issuance of certain securities pursuant to, among other things, section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code; (e) the vesting of assets in the Reorganized Debtors as described in the Plan; (f) the cancellation of notes, instruments, Certificates, and other documents; (g) the amendment of the charter and bylaws of the Reorganized Debtors and other corporate actions; (h) the assumption of Employment Obligations by Reorganized PublicCo and/or New Subsidiary, as applicable; (i) the preservation of Causes of Action; (j) the payment of the reasonable fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and financial advisors’ fees) of the Pre-Petition Secured Party in connection with the Restructuring; and (k) the reinstatement of Intercompany Claims against Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, or the discharge and satisfaction of such Intercompany Claims.

12


(vi)Voting Power of Equity Securities: Section 1123(a)(6).
27.The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.  To the extent required by section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Debtors’ certificates of incorporation shall include, among other things, provisions prohibiting the issuance of non-voting Equity Securities.
(vii)Designation of Directors and Officers: Section 1123(a)(7).
28.The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Section 4.13 of the Plan contains provisions regarding the manner of selection of the Reorganized Debtors’ directors and officers that are consistent with the interests of all holders of Claims and Interests and public policy.
(viii)Impairment / Unimpairment of Classes: Section 1123(b)(1).
29.The Plan is consistent with section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Specifically, Article III of the Plan impairs or leaves Unimpaired each Class of Claims and Interests.
(ix)Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases: Section 1123(b)(2).
30.The Plan is consistent with section 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Article V of the Plan provides for the assumption of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases on the Effective Date.  In accordance with the provisions of sections 365 and 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Plan Supplements, or this Confirmation Order, (i) no Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be assumed by Reorganized PrivateCo unless listed as “assumed” by Reorganized PrivateCo in the Plan Supplements, and (ii) each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease shall be deemed assumed by Capstone and/or the applicable Debtor counterparty (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt,

13


Reorganized PrivateCo) and assigned to Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, without the need for any further notice to, or action, order, or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court, as of the Effective Date under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless any such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease: (a) is a Retained Contract; (b) is listed on the Rejection Schedule; (c) has been previously assumed or rejected by the Debtors by Final Order or has been assumed or rejected by the Debtors by order of the Bankruptcy Court as of the Effective Date, which order becomes a Final Order after the Effective Date; or (d) is the subject of a motion to assume or reject pending as of the Effective Date.  Reorganized PrivateCo shall have no liability with respect to, relating to, or in connection with any of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, except with respect to Retained Contracts (if any).
(x)Compromise of Pre-Petition Secured Claims, Releases, Exculpation, Injunction, and Preservation of Claims and Causes of Action: Section 1123(b)(3).
31.The Plan is consistent with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. The compromise of the Pre-Petition Secured Party’s Claims and Interests relating to the contractual, subordination, and other legal rights that the Pre-Petition Secured Party may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or Interest, or any distribution to be made on account of such Allowed Claim or Interest, is made in good faith, is in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, and holders of Claims and Interests and is fair, equitable, and reasonable.  
32.Section 8.2 of the Plan describes certain releases granted by the Debtors and their Estates (the “Debtor Releases”).  The Debtors have satisfied the applicable standard in this district with respect to the propriety of the Debtor Releases.  For the reasons set forth on the record of these Chapter 11 Cases and the evidence proffered, admitted, or adduced at the Combined Hearing, such releases are a necessary and integral part of the Plan.  The Debtor Releases are “fair and equitable” and “in the best interests of the estate” and the holders of Claims and Interests.

14


33.Section 8.3 of the Plan describes certain releases granted by the Releasing Parties (the “Non-Debtor Releases”).  The Ballots sent to all holders of Claims in the Voting Class unambiguously stated that the Plan contains the Non-Debtor Releases and set forth the terms of the Non-Debtor Releases.  
34.The Non-Debtor Releases are (1) consensual and in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Released Parties; (2) a good faith compromise of the Claims and Causes of Action released by such releases; (3) in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates; (4) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (5) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; (6) an essential component of the Plan and the Restructuring; and (7) a bar to any of the Releasing Parties asserting any Claim or Cause of Action released pursuant to such releases.  
35.The exculpation, described in Section 8.4 of the Plan (the “Exculpation”), is appropriate under applicable law because it was proposed in good faith and is appropriately limited in scope.  The Exculpated Parties (to the extent applicable) have, and upon completion of the Plan shall be deemed to have, participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable laws with regard to the solicitation of, and distribution of, consideration pursuant to the Plan and, therefore, are not, and on account of such distributions shall not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or such distributions made pursuant to the Plan.
36.The injunction provision set forth in Section 8.5 of the Plan is necessary to implement, preserve, and prevent actions against the Debtors, the Exculpated Parties, or the Released Parties and by extension the compromises and settlements upon which the Plan is founded, and is narrowly tailored to achieve this purpose.

15


37.Section 4.15 of the Plan appropriately provides that in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, but subject in all respects to Article VIII of the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors will retain, and may enforce, all rights to commence and pursue, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, unless any such Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or by a Final Order.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in the Plan, pursuant to Section 4.6 of the Plan, any Causes of Action (except with respect to the Retained Assets) shall be assigned to and/or vest in Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary as determined by the Reorganized Debtors.
38.The release of all mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests against the property of the Estates described in Section 8.8 of the Plan (the “Lien Release”) is necessary to implement the Plan.
(xi)Modification of Rights: Section 1123(b)(5).
39.The Plan modifies the rights of holders of Claims or Interests, as applicable, in Class 2 (Pre-Petition Secured Claims), Class 6 (Intercompany Claims), Class 7 (Intercompany Interests), Class 8 (Equity Interests) and Class 9 (Section 510(b) Claims), as permitted by section 1123(b)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(xii)Additional Plan Provisions: Section 1123(b)(6).
40.The other discretionary provisions of the Plan are appropriate and consistent with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including provisions for (a) distributions to holders of Claims and Interests, (b) resolution of Disputed Claims, (c) allowance of certain Claims, and (d) retention of Court jurisdiction, thereby satisfying section 1123(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The failure to address any provisions of the Bankruptcy Code specifically in this Confirmation Order shall not diminish or impair the effectiveness of this Confirmation Order.

16


(xiii)Cure of Defaults: Section 1123(d).
41.The Debtors have cured, or provided adequate assurance that the Debtors will cure, defaults (if any) under or relating to each of the Executory Contracts that are being assumed and assigned pursuant to the Plan.  In addition, the Debtors, New Subsidiary and Reorganized PublicCo, as applicable, have provided adequate assurance of future performance under such Executory Contracts being assumed and assigned.
N.Debtor Compliance with the Bankruptcy Code: Section 1129(a)(2).
42.The Debtors have complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and, thus, satisfied the requirements of section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Specifically, each Debtor:
a.is an eligible debtor under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code, and a proper proponent of the Plan under section 1121(a) of the Bankruptcy Code;
b.has complied with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise provided or permitted by orders of the Bankruptcy Court; and
c.complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, any applicable non-bankruptcy law, rule and regulation, the Scheduling Order, and all other applicable law, in transmitting the Solicitation Packages and related documents and notices, and in soliciting and tabulating the votes on the Plan.
O.Plan Proposed in Good Faith: Section 1129(a)(3).
43.The Debtors have negotiated, developed, and proposed the Plan (including the Plan Supplements and all other documents and agreements necessary to effectuate the Plan) in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.  In so determining, the Bankruptcy Court has considered the facts and record of these Chapter 11 Cases, the Disclosure Statement, and the evidence proffered, admitted, or adduced at the Combined Hearing, and examined the totality of the circumstances surrounding the filing of these Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan, and the process leading to Confirmation.  The Chapter

17


11 Cases were filed, and the Plan was proposed, with the legitimate purpose of allowing the Debtors to implement the Restructuring, reorganize, and emerge from chapter 11 with a deleveraged capital structure.  The Plan (including all documents necessary to effectuate the Plan) and the Plan Supplements were negotiated in good faith and at arm’s length among the Debtors and their key stakeholders, including the Pre-Petition Secured Party, the NPA Collateral Agent, the DIP Purchaser, and the DIP Agent.  The Restructuring, as embodied in the Plan, was negotiated in good faith and at arm’s length and reflects the best possible outcome that could be reached given the facts and circumstances surrounding the Debtors and these Chapter 11 Cases.  Further, the Plan’s classification, indemnification, exculpation, release, and injunction provisions have been negotiated in good faith and at arm’s length, are consistent with sections 105, 1122, 1123(b)(3)(A), 1123(b)(6), 1129, and 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code, and are each integral to the Plan, and necessary for the Debtors’ successful implementation of the Plan.
P.Payment for Services or Costs and Expenses: Section 1129(a)(4).
44.The Debtors have satisfied section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Any payment made or to be made by the Debtors for services or for costs and expenses of the Debtors’ professionals in connection with these Chapter 11 Cases, or in connection with the Plan and incident to these Chapter 11 Cases, has been approved by, or is subject to the approval of, the Bankruptcy Court as reasonable.  All such costs and expenses of the Debtors’ professionals shall be paid in accordance with the Plan.
Q.Directors, Officers, and Insiders: Section 1129(a)(5).
45.The Debtors have complied with the requirements of section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.  From and after the Effective Date, each director or officer of the Reorganized Debtors shall serve pursuant to the terms of their charter and bylaws or other constituent documents, and applicable state law.  To the extent known, the Plan Supplements disclose, or will

18


disclose prior to the Effective Date, the identity and affiliations of the members of the board of directors of the Reorganized Debtors and any Person proposed to serve as an officer of the Reorganized Debtors.  
R.No Rate Changes: Section 1129(a)(6).
46.Section 1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code is not applicable to these Chapter 11 Cases.  The Plan proposes no rate change subject to the jurisdiction of any governmental regulatory commission.
S.Best Interest of Creditors: Section 1129(a)(7).
47.The Plan satisfies section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The liquidation analysis attached to the Disclosure Statement as Exhibit C and the Confirmation Declaration and the other evidence related thereto in support of the Plan that was proffered, admitted, or adduced at the Combined Hearing:  (a) are reasonable, persuasive, and credible as of the dates such analyses or evidence was prepared, presented, or proffered; (b) utilize reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions; (c) have not been controverted by other evidence; and (d) establish that each holder of an Impaired Claim or Interest against a Debtor either has accepted the Plan or 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 that such holder would receive or retain if such Debtors were hypothetically liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date.
T.Acceptance by Certain Classes: Section 1129(a)(8).
48.The Unimpaired Classes are Unimpaired by the Plan and, accordingly, holders of Claims in such Classes are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Voting Class is Impaired and each holder in the Voting Class has voted to accept the Plan, as established by the Voting Declaration.

19


49.The Deemed Rejecting Classes are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan is confirmable because it satisfies sections 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code because Class 2 has voted to accept the Plan, and, with respect to the Deemed Rejecting Classes, section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code is satisfied as set forth below.
U.Treatment of Claims Entitled to Priority Under Section 507(a) of the Bankruptcy Code: Section 1129(a)(9).
50.The treatment of Administrative Expense Claims, Professional Claims, Priority Tax Claims, DIP Claims, and the statutory fees imposed by 28 U.S.C. § 1930 under Article II of the Plan, satisfy the requirements of, and comply in all respects with, section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code.  
V.Acceptance by At Least One Impaired Class: Section 1129(a)(10).
51.The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code.  As evidenced by the Voting Declaration, Class 2, which is Impaired, voted to accept the Plan in accordance with section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, determined without including any acceptance of the Plan by any insider (as that term is defined in section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code).
W.Feasibility: Section 1129(a)(11).
52.The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The evidence supporting Confirmation of the Plan proffered, admitted, or adduced by the Debtors at or prior to the Combined Hearing:  (a) is reasonable, persuasive, and credible as of the dates such evidence was prepared, presented, or proffered; (b) utilizes reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions; (c) has not been controverted by other evidence; (d) establishes that the Plan is feasible and Confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation, or the need for further financial reorganization of the Debtors or any successor to the Debtors

20


under the Plan, except as provided for under the Plan; and (e) establishes that the Debtors will have sufficient funds available to meet their obligations under the Plan.
X.Payment of Fees: Section 1129(a)(12).
53.The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Section 12.2 of the Plan provides for the payment of all fees payable by the Debtors under 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a).
Y.Continuation of Employee Benefits: Section 1129(a)(13).
54.The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code.  From and after the Effective Date, all retiree benefits (as that term is defined in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code), if any, shall be an obligation of Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary in accordance with applicable law.  Other than employees employed by Reorganized PrivateCo, New Subsidiary shall be the successor to Capstone with respect to the employment of the directors, officers, and employees of all the Debtors or relating to any Employment Obligations (as defined in the Plan).  Reorganized PrivateCo shall have no liability with respect to, relating to, or in connection with the Employment Obligations or any Claims against any Debtor.
Z.Non-Applicability of Certain Sections: 1129(a)(14), (15), and (16).
55.Sections 1129(a)(14), 1129(a)(15), and 1129(a)(16) of the Bankruptcy Code do not apply to these Chapter 11 Cases.  The Debtors (a) are not required by a judicial or administrative order, or by statute, to pay a domestic support obligation, (b) are not individuals, and (c) are each a moneyed, business, or commercial corporation.
AA.“Cram Down” Requirements: Section 1129(b).
56.The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Notwithstanding the fact that Class 8 (Equity Interests) and Class 9 (Section 510(b) Claims), as well as certain holders of Claims in Class 6 (Intercompany Claims), are deemed to reject the Plan,

21


the Plan may be confirmed pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The evidence in support of the Plan that was proffered, admitted, or adduced at or prior to the Combined Hearing is reasonable, persuasive, and credible, and has not been controverted by other evidence, and establishes that the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.  First, all of the requirements of section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code other than section 1129(a)(8) have been met.  Second, the Plan is fair and equitable with respect to such Classes.  The Plan has been proposed in good faith, is reasonable, and meets the requirements that (a) the holder of the Class 2 Pre-Petition Secured Claim has consented to allowing holders of Claims or Interests that are junior to Class 2 Claims to receive or retain any property under the Plan on account of such junior Claim or Interest and (b) no holder of a Claim or Interest in a Class senior to such Classes is receiving more than 100% on account of its Claim.  Third, the Plan does not discriminate unfairly with respect to such Classes because similarly situated holders of Claims and Interests will receive substantially similar treatment on account of their Claims and Interests irrespective of Class.  Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirement of section 1129(b)(1) and (2) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Plan may therefore be confirmed despite the fact that not all Impaired Classes have voted to accept the Plan.
BB.Only One Plan: Section 1129(c).
57.The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Plan is the only chapter 11 plan filed with respect to each Debtor in each of these Chapter 11 Cases.
CC.Principal Purpose of the Plan: Section 1129(d).
58.The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The principal purpose of the Plan is not the avoidance of taxes or the avoidance of the application of section 5 of the Securities Act.

22


DD.Not Small Business Cases: Section 1129(e).
59.These Chapter 11 Cases are not small business cases, and accordingly section 1129(e) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable in these Chapter 11 Cases.
EE.Good Faith Solicitation: Section 1125(e).
60.Based on the record before the Bankruptcy Court in these Chapter 11 Cases, including evidence proffered, admitted, or adduced at or prior to the Combined Hearing, the Debtors and the other Exculpated Parties (i) have acted in “good faith” within the meaning of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, the Solicitation Procedures, and any applicable non-bankruptcy law, rule, or regulation governing the adequacy of disclosure in connection with the development of the Plan, all their respective activities relating to the solicitation of acceptances to the Plan and their participation in the activities described in section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) shall be deemed to have participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code in the offer and issuance of any securities under the Plan, and therefore are not, and on account of such offer, issuance, and solicitation will not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or the offer and issuance of the securities under the Plan, and are entitled to the protections afforded by section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and the Exculpation set forth in Section 8.4 of the Plan.
FF.Implementation.
61.The terms of the Plan, including the Plan Supplements and all exhibits and schedules thereto, and all other documents filed in connection with the Plan (collectively, the “Plan Documents”) constitute essential elements of the Plan.  Consummation of each such Plan Document is in the best interests of the Debtors, the Debtors’ Estates, and holders of Claims and

23


Interests, and such Plan Documents are hereby approved.  The Debtors have exercised reasonable business judgment in determining to enter into the Plan Documents, and the Plan Documents have been negotiated in good faith, at arm’s-length, and shall, upon completion of documentation and execution, be valid, binding, and enforceable agreements and not be in conflict with any federal or state law.

The entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s finding and determination that (a) each Released Party’s in-court or out-of-court efforts to develop, negotiate, and propose the Plan were, with respect to each other Released Party and any other Person, in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law and (b) the compromises of the Pre-Petition Secured Party’s Claims and Interests

24


reflected in the Plan are (i) in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates, (ii) fair, equitable, and reasonable, and (iii) approved by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to sections 105(a) and 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019.

ORDER

IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED, DECREED, AND DETERMINED THAT:  

1.Final Approval of Disclosure Statement. The Disclosure Statement (i) contains adequate information of a kind generally consistent with the disclosure requirements of all applicable non-bankruptcy law, including the Securities Act, (ii) contains “adequate information” (as such term is defined in section 1125(a)(1) and used in section 1126(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code) with respect to the Debtors, the Plan, and the transactions contemplated therein, and (iii) is approved on a final basis in all respects.
2.Confirmation of the Plan.  The Plan is approved in its entirety and CONFIRMED under section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Plan Documents are hereby authorized and approved, and the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable) are authorized to execute any and all Plan Documents.  The terms of the Plan are an integral part of this Confirmation Order.  The failure to specifically describe, include, or to refer to any particular article, section, or provision of the Plan in this Confirmation Order shall not diminish or impair the effectiveness of such article, section, or provision, it being the intent of the Bankruptcy Court that the Plan is confirmed in its entirety, except as expressly modified herein, the Plan Documents are approved in their entirety.

25


3.Objections.  All objections to Confirmation of the Plan or final approval of the Disclosure Statement and other responses, comments, statements, or reservation of rights, if any, in opposition to the Plan or Disclosure Statement that have not been withdrawn, waived, or otherwise resolved by the Debtors prior to entry of this Confirmation Order are overruled on the merits.
4.Plan Classification Controlling.  The terms of the Plan shall solely govern the classification of Claims and Interests for purposes of the distributions to be made thereunder.  The classification set forth on the Ballots tendered to or returned by the holders of Claims in connection with voting on the Plan:  (a) were set forth thereon solely for purposes of voting to accept or reject the Plan; (b) do not necessarily represent, and in no event shall be deemed to modify or otherwise affect, the actual classification of Claims and Interests under the Plan for distribution purposes; (c) may not be relied upon by any holder of a Claim or Interest as representing the actual classification of such Claim or Interest under the Plan for distribution purposes; and (d) shall not be binding on the Debtors except for voting purposes.
5.Plan Modifications.  The modifications, amendments, and supplements made to the Plan following the solicitation of votes thereon constitute technical changes and do not materially adversely affect or change the proposed treatment of any Claims or Interests.  After giving effect to such modifications, the Plan continues to satisfy the requirements of sections 1122 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The filing of the non-material modifications to the Plan and the proposed form of this Confirmation Order with the Bankruptcy Court, which contains such modifications, and the disclosure of such modifications on the record at the Combined Hearing constitute due and sufficient notice thereof.  Accordingly, such modifications do not require additional disclosure or re-solicitation of votes under sections 1125, 1126, or 1127 of the

26


Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rule 3019, nor do they require that the holders of Claims in the Voting Class be afforded an opportunity to change their previously cast votes on the Plan.  The holders of Claims in the Voting Class who voted to accept the solicitation version of the Plan are deemed to accept the Plan as modified.  The Plan, as modified, is, therefore, properly before this Court and all votes cast with respect to the Plan prior to such modification shall be binding and shall apply with respect to the Plan.
6.No Action Required.  No action of the respective directors, equity holders, managers, or members of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable) is required to authorize the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable) to enter into, execute, deliver, file, adopt, amend, restate, consummate, or effectuate, as the case may be, the Plan, or any contract, assignment, certificate, instrument, or other document to be executed, delivered, adopted, or amended in connection with the implementation of the Plan or other Plan Documents.  
7.Binding Effect.  On the date of and after entry of this Confirmation Order, in accordance with section 1141(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date and notwithstanding Bankruptcy Rules 3020(e), 6004(d), 6004(h), or otherwise, the terms of the Plan, the Plan Documents, and this Confirmation Order shall be immediately effective (and/or adopted, where applicable) and enforceable and deemed binding upon the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable), and any and all holders of Claims or Interests and such holder’s respective successors and assigns (regardless of whether or not (a) the holders of such Claims or Interests voted to accept or reject, or are deemed to have accepted or rejected, the Plan or (b) the holders of such Claims or Interests are entitled to a distribution under the Plan), all Entities that are parties to or are subject to the settlements, compromises, releases (including the releases set forth in Article VIII of the Plan), waivers, discharges, exculpations, and injunctions

27


provided for in the Plan, each Entity acquiring property under the Plan or this Confirmation Order, and any and all non-Debtor parties to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.  All Claims and debts shall be fixed, adjusted, or compromised, as applicable, pursuant to the Plan regardless of whether any holder of a Claim or debt has voted on the Plan.  The Plan and the Plan Documents constitute legal, valid, binding, and authorized obligations of the respective parties thereto and shall be enforceable in accordance with their terms.  Pursuant to section 1142(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan and the Plan Documents, and any amendments or modifications thereto, shall apply and be enforceable notwithstanding any otherwise applicable non-bankruptcy law.
8.Effectiveness of All Actions.  All actions contemplated by the Plan, including all actions pursuant to, in accordance with, or in connection with the Plan Documents, are hereby effective and authorized to be taken on, prior to, or after the Effective Date, as applicable, under this Confirmation Order, without further application to, or order of the Bankruptcy Court, or further action by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable).
9.Plan Implementation.  
(a)Pursuant to section 1123(a)(5)(D) of the Bankruptcy Code, on, or, unless specifically provided otherwise herein or in the Plan, prior to the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, the Debtors, in accordance with Article IV of the Plan, may take all actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect any transaction described in, approved by, contemplated by, or necessary to effectuate the Plan including (a) the execution and delivery of appropriate agreements or other documents containing terms that are consistent with or reasonably necessary to implement the terms of the Plan and that satisfy the requirements of applicable law; (b) the execution and delivery of appropriate instruments of transfer, assignment, assumption, or delegation of any property, right, liability, duty, or obligation on terms consistent

28

(b)Except as set forth in the Plan, all actions authorized to be taken pursuant to the Plan, the Plan Supplements, and the Plan Documents shall be effective prior to, on, or after the Effective Date pursuant to this Confirmation Order, without further notice, application to, or order of this Court, or further action by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable).  All documents necessary to implement the Plan and all other relevant and necessary documents in respect of the Restructuring, including any documents related to the New Debt Facility, have been negotiated in good faith and at arm’s length and shall, upon completion of the documentation and execution thereof, be valid, binding, and enforceable agreements.
(c)The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, are authorized to enter into and effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Restructuring, as described in Section 4.2 of the Plan or otherwise, and may take any actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the Restructuring, as and to the extent provided in the Plan and this Confirmation Order.  Any transfers of assets effected through the Plan are hereby approved and shall not constitute fraudulent conveyances or fraudulent transfers or otherwise be subject to avoidance.  Each Debtor, as reorganized, as applicable, shall continue to exist after the Effective Date as a separate corporate entity or limited liability company as the case may be, with all the powers of a corporation or limited liability company, as the case may be, under the applicable law in the jurisdiction in which such applicable Debtor is incorporated or formed.
(d)To the extent that, under applicable non-bankruptcy law, any of the foregoing actions would otherwise require the consent or approval of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable), this Confirmation Order shall, pursuant to section 1123(a)(5)(D) of the

29


Bankruptcy Code, constitute such consent or approval, and such actions are deemed to have been taken by unanimous action of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable).
10.New Debt Facility.  This Confirmation Order constitutes (i) approval of the New Debt Facility, the New Debt Facility Term Sheet, and all transactions contemplated thereby, including the payment of all fees, indemnities, and expenses provided for therein, and (ii) authorization of Reorganized PublicCo and New Subsidiary to enter into, execute and perform under the New Debt Facility Term Sheet and use New Debt Facility Net Proceeds in accordance with the terms of the New Debt Facility Term Sheet.  On the Effective Date, all of the Liens and security interests to be granted as set forth in the New Debt Facility Term Sheet (i) shall be deemed to have been approved by Reorganized PublicCo and New Subsidiary and their applicable subsidiaries, (ii) shall be legal, binding, and enforceable Liens on, and security interests in, the collateral granted thereunder in accordance with the terms of the New Debt Facility Term Sheet, and (iii) shall be deemed perfected upon Reorganized PublicCo and New Subsidiary’s entry into the New Debt Facility, subject only to such Liens and security interests as may be permitted as set forth in the New Debt Facility Term Sheet.
11.Cancellation of Existing Securities and Agreements.  On the Effective Date, except to the extent otherwise provided herein or in the Plan, all notes, instruments, Certificates, including without limitation, all equity grants, warrants, and/or restricted units and any agreement with respect to the foregoing, including the Rights Agreement (as defined below), and other documents evidencing Claims or Interests shall be cancelled and the obligations of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors and the non-Debtors’ Affiliates thereunder or in any way related thereto shall be discharged; provided, however, that notwithstanding Confirmation or the occurrence of the Effective Date, (i) any agreement that governs the rights of the holder of a Claim or Interest shall

30


continue in effect solely for purposes of (a) allowing holders of Claims or Interests to receive distributions under the Plan and (b) allowing and preserving the rights of Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, to make distributions on account of Claims and Interests as provided in Article VI of the Plan and (ii) the Note Documents shall continue in effect solely for the purposes of allowing the NPA Collateral Agent and the DIP Agent to (a) receive payment of its fees and expenses as provided under the Note Documents and the DIP Documents, as applicable, and (b) have the benefit of all the rights and protections for the NPA Collateral Agent and the DIP Agent under the Note Documents and DIP Documents, as applicable, including, but not limited to, the preservation of any indemnification rights.  Holders of or parties to such cancelled instruments, Securities, and other documentation will have no rights arising from or relating to such instruments, Securities, and other documentation, or the cancellation thereof, except the rights provided for pursuant to the Plan.
12.Offering and Issuance of Securities.  The offering, issuance, distribution, and exercise (as applicable) of any Securities, including, without limitation, the Reorganized PublicCo Equity, the Reorganized PrivateCo Equity, the New Subsidiary Common Units and the New Subsidiary Preferred Units, pursuant to the Plan will be in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or exempt from the registration requirements of section 5 therein to the maximum extent permitted thereunder pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, or any other available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as applicable.  In addition, under section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, if applicable, any Securities issued under the Plan shall be freely transferable under the Securities Act by the recipients thereof, subject to: (1) the provisions of section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code relating to the definition of an underwriter in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and

31


compliance with any applicable state or foreign securities laws, if any, and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), if any, applicable at the time of any future transfer of such Securities or instruments; (2) the restrictions, if any, on the transferability of such Securities and instruments; and (3) any other applicable regulatory approval.

14.Preservation of Causes of Action.  In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, but subject in all respects to Section 4.15 of the Plan, unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or by a Final Order, the Reorganized Debtors shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue any and all Causes of Action, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, and the Reorganized Debtors’ rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date.  
15.Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, all Avoidance Actions against non-Insiders of the Debtors shall be waived upon the Effective Date.  No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplements, or the Disclosure Statement to any Causes of Action against it as any indication that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against it.  The

32


Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan.  Unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or a Court order, including pursuant to Article VIII of the Plan, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, expressly reserve all Causes of Action for later adjudication.
16.Substitution in Pending Legal Actions.  On the Effective Date, Reorganized PrivateCo shall be deemed to be substituted as the party to any litigation relating to the Retained Assets in which the Debtors are a party, and Reorganized PublicCo shall be deemed to be substituted as the party to all other litigation (not relating to the Retained Assets) in which the Debtors are a party, including, in each case (but not limited to) (i) pending contested matters or adversary proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court, (ii) any appeals of orders of the Bankruptcy Court and (iii) any state or federal court or state or federal administrative proceedings pending as of the Petition Date.  The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors are not required to, but may, take such steps as are appropriate to provide notice of such substitution.

33


Bankruptcy Court Allows.  From and after the Confirmation Date, any requirement that Professionals comply with sections 327 through 331 and 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code in seeking retention or compensation for services rendered after such date shall terminate, and the Reorganized Debtors may employ and pay any Professional in the ordinary course of business without any further notice to, or action, order, or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court.
19.Subordination.  The allowance, classification, and treatment of all Claims and Interests and the respective distributions and treatments under the Plan take into account and conform to the relative priority and rights of the Claims and Interests in each Class in connection with any contractual, legal, and equitable subordination rights relating thereto, whether arising under general principles of equitable subordination, section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise.  Pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, (as applicable) reserve the right to reclassify any Claim or Interest in accordance with any contractual, legal, or equitable subordination relating thereto.

34


Unexpired Leases, and all Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases shall be assumed by Capstone and/or the applicable Debtor counterparty (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Reorganized PrivateCo) and assigned to Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, as of the Effective Date without the need for any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, unless such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease: (i) is a Retained Contract; (ii) is listed on the Rejection Schedule; (iii) has been previously assumed or rejected by the Debtors by Final Order or has been assumed or rejected by the Debtors by order of the Bankruptcy Court as of the Effective Date, which order becomes a Final Order after the Effective Date; or (iv) is the subject of a motion to assume or reject pending as of the Effective Date.  In accordance with Section 5.1 of the Plan, no Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be assumed by Reorganized PrivateCo unless such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is listed as “assumed” by Reorganized PrivateCo in the Plan Supplements.  Reorganized PrivateCo shall have no liability with respect to, relating to, or in connection with any of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, except with respect to Retained Contracts (if any).

23.Compromise of Claims, Interests, and Controversies.  The entry of this Confirmation Order constitutes approval of the compromise of the Pre-Petition Secured Party’s Claims and Interests, as well as a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that such compromise is in good faith and in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, and holders of Claims and Interests and are fair, equitable, and reasonable.
24.Claims.  All Allowed Claims against the Debtors shall be paid in the ordinary course by Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, except to the extent that a holder of an

35


Allowed Claim agrees to a less favorable treatment.  All Claims shall be obligations of Reorganized PublicCo and/or New Subsidiary, and Claims asserted against Reorganized PrivateCo (other than with respect to the Retained Assets) shall be deemed Claims against Reorganized PublicCo and/or New Subsidiary.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, Reorganized PrivateCo shall have no liability with respect to, relating to, or in connection with any Claims (including, without limitation, Secured Tax Claims, Other Secured Claims, Other Priority Claims, General Unsecured Claims, Intercompany Claims and Section 510(b) Claims) against, or Interests (including, without limitation, Intercompany Interest and Equity Interests) in, any Debtor.
25.Unimpaired Claims.  Holders of Unimpaired Claims shall not be required to file a Proof of Claim with the Bankruptcy Court, except for Claims for damages related to the rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases (“Rejection Damages Claims”).  Holders of Unimpaired Claims other than those holding Rejection Damages Claims shall not be subject to any Claims resolution process in the Bankruptcy Court in connection with their Claims, and shall retain all of their rights under applicable non-bankruptcy law to pursue their Claims against the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors or other Entity in any forum with jurisdiction over the parties.  The Debtors and Reorganized Debtors shall retain all defenses, counterclaims, rights to setoff, and rights to recoupment as to Unimpaired Claims.  If the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors dispute any Unimpaired Claim, such dispute shall be determined, resolved or adjudicated in the manner as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced, except with respect to Rejection Damages Claims, which shall be determined, resolved or adjudicated as set forth in Article V of the Plan.

27.Release, Discharge, Exculpation, and Injunction Provisions.  All discharge, injunction, release, and exculpation provisions set forth in the Plan, including but not limited to those contained in Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4 of the Plan, are approved and shall be effective and binding on all Persons and Entities to the extent provided therein.
28.Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan, the Plan Supplements, this Confirmation Order or other Plan Documents:  Nothing discharges or releases the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any non-Debtor from any right, Claim, liability, defense or Cause of Action of the United States or any State or impairs the ability of the United States or any State to pursue any right, Claim, liability, defense, or Cause of Action against any Debtor, Reorganized Debtor or non-Debtor.  Contracts, purchase orders, agreements, leases, covenants, guaranties, indemnifications, operating rights agreements or other interests of or with the United States or any State shall be, subject to any applicable legal or equitable rights or defenses of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors under applicable non-bankruptcy law, paid, treated, determined and administered in the ordinary course of business as if the Debtors’ bankruptcy cases were never filed and the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors shall comply with all applicable non-bankruptcy law.  All rights, Claims, liabilities, defenses or Cause of Action, of or to the United States or any State shall survive the Chapter 11 Cases as if they had not been commenced and be determined in the ordinary course of business, including in the manner and by the administrative or judicial

37


tribunals in which such rights, Claims, liabilities, defenses or Causes of Action would have been resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced; provided, that nothing in the Plan Documents shall alter any legal or equitable rights or defenses of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors under non-bankruptcy law with respect to any such Claim, liability, or Cause of Action.  Without limiting the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing shall: (i) require the United States or any State to file any proofs of Claim or Administrative Claims in the Chapter 11 Cases for any right, Claim, liability, defense, or Cause of Action; (ii) affect or impair the exercise of the United States’ or any State’s police and regulatory powers against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or any non-Debtor; (iii) be interpreted to set cure amounts or to require the United States or any State to novate or otherwise consent to the transfer of any federal or state contracts, purchase orders, agreements, leases, covenants, guaranties, indemnifications, operating rights agreements or other interests; (iv) affect or impair the United States’ or any State’s rights and defenses of setoff and recoupment, or ability to assert setoff or recoupment against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors and such rights and defenses are expressly preserved; (v) constitute an approval or consent by the United States or any State without compliance with all applicable legal requirements and approvals under non-bankruptcy law; or (vi) relieve any party from compliance with all licenses and permits issued by governmental units in accordance with non-bankruptcy law.
29.Preservation of SEC Police and Regulatory Powers.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, nothing in  the Plan, the Plan Supplements, the Disclosure Statement, or this Confirmation Order shall (i) release, enjoin, or discharge any monetary or non-monetary Claim, right, or Cause of Action of the SEC, acting in its police and regulatory capacity, against any Released Party (including any Debtor, Reorganized Debtor or New Subsidiary) or any other non-Debtor Person or non-Debtor Entity, or (ii) prevent, restrict, limit, enjoin, or impair the SEC

38


from commencing or continuing any investigation, action or proceeding, in its police and regulatory capacity, against any Released Party (including any Debtor, Reorganized Debtor, or New Subsidiary) or any other non-Debtor Person or non-Debtor Entity in any nonbankruptcy forum.  For the avoidance of doubt, the SEC shall not be a Released Party or Releasing Party under the Plan.
30.Books and Records.  The Debtors shall maintain copies of their books and records.  Nothing in this Confirmation Order shall affect the obligations of the Debtors and/or any transferee or custodian to maintain all books and records that are subject to any governmental subpoena, document preservation letter, or other investigative request from a governmental agency.
31.Tax Withholding.  Pursuant to the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes, withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such distributions, or establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable and appropriate.  The Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and other spousal awards, liens, and encumbrances.  All Persons holding Claims shall be required to provide any information necessary to effect information reporting and the withholding of such taxes.  Notwithstanding any other provision of

39


this Plan to the contrary, (a) each holder of an Allowed Claim shall have the 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 Reorganized Debtors for the payment and satisfaction of such tax obligations.
32.Payment of Statutory Fees.  All fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S. § 1930(a) shall be paid for each quarter (including any fraction thereof) until the Chapter 11 Cases are converted, dismissed, or a Final Decree is issued, whichever occurs first.
33.Documents, Mortgages and Instruments.  Each federal, state, local, foreign or other governmental agency is authorized to accept any and all documents, mortgages or instruments necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement or consummate the Plan.
34.Filing and Recording.  This Confirmation Order is binding upon and shall govern the acts of all persons or entities including all filing agents, filing officers, title agents, title companies, recorders of mortgages, recorders of deeds, registrars of deeds, administrative agencies, governmental departments, secretaries of state, federal, state, and local officials, and all other persons and entities who may be required, by operation of law, the duties of their office, or contract, to accept, file, register, or otherwise record or release any document or instrument.  Each and every federal, state, and local government agency is hereby authorized to accept any and all documents and instruments necessary, useful, or appropriate (including financing statements under the applicable uniform commercial code) to effectuate, implement, and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Plan and this Confirmation Order without payment of any stamp tax or similar tax imposed by state or local law.

40


35.Continued Effect of Stays and Injunctions.  Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or in a Final Order, all injunctions or stays arising under or entered during the Chapter 11 Cases under section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, and in existence on the Confirmation Date, shall remain in full force and effect until the later of the Effective Date and the date set forth in the order providing for such injunction or stay.
36.Authorization to Consummate.  The Debtors are authorized to consummate the Plan and the Restructuring at any time after entry of this Confirmation Order subject to satisfaction, or waiver in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Plan, of the conditions precedent to the Effective Date set forth in Section 9.1 of the Plan.
37.Nonseverability of Plan Provisions Upon Confirmation.  Each provision of the Plan is:  (a) valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms; (b) integral to the Plan and may not be deleted or modified without the Debtors’ consent (and subject to other consents and consultation rights set forth in the Plan) in accordance with the terms set forth in the Plan; and (c) nonseverable and mutually dependent.
38.Post-Confirmation Modifications.  Subject to the terms of the Plan and without need for further order or authorization of the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, are authorized and empowered to make any and all modifications to any and all Plan Documents that are necessary to effectuate the Plan that do not materially modify the terms of such documents and are consistent with the Plan.  Subject to certain restrictions and requirements set forth in section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019 and those restrictions on modifications set forth in the Plan, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors reserve their respective rights prior to the Effective Date to withdraw, alter, amend, or modify materially the Plan with respect to such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, and, to the

41

Bankruptcy Code), if any, shall continue to be paid in accordance with applicable law. Aside from employees that will remain at Capstone to support the Retained Assets, New Subsidiary shall be the successor to Capstone with respect to the employment of the directors, officers, and employees of the Debtors or relating to any Employment Obligations (as defined in the Plan).  Reorganized PrivateCo shall have no liability with respect to, relating to, or in connection with the Employment Obligations or any Claims against any Debtor.

4.15Preservation of Rights of Action

Unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or by a Final Order, in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, subject to Section 4.6 herein, the Reorganized Debtors shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue any and all Causes of Action, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, and the Reorganized Debtors’ rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date.  No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan or the Disclosure Statement to any Cause of Action against them as any indication that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against them.  The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan.  Unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or Bankruptcy Court order, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all Causes of Action for later adjudication and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise), or laches shall apply to such Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or Consummation.

The Reorganized Debtors reserve and shall retain Causes of Action notwithstanding the rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease during the Chapter 11 Cases or pursuant to the Plan.  In accordance with sections 1123(b)(3) and 1141(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Causes of Action that the Debtors may hold against any Entity shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors.  The Reorganized Debtors, through its authorized agents or representatives, shall retain and may exclusively enforce any and all such Causes of Action.  The Reorganized Debtors shall have the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to determine and to initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any such Causes of Action, or to decline to do any of the foregoing, without the consent or approval of any third party or any further notice to, or action, order or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court.

4.16Pre-Petition Secured Party’s Fees

27


without further notice to, or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date.

4.17Intercompany Claims.

Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, on the Effective Date, the Intercompany Claims shall be reinstated, or discharged and satisfied by contributions, distributions or otherwise, at the option of the Reorganized Debtors; provided, all Intercompany Claims against Capstone shall be either (x) reinstated as claims against Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, or (y) deemed discharged and satisfied on the Effective Date, in either case at the election of Reorganized PublicCo.  In no event shall Reorganized PrivateCo have any liabilities relating to, arising under, or in connection with Intercompany Claims.

4.18Rejection Damages Claims.

Holders of Unimpaired Claims shall not be required to file a Proof of Claim with the Bankruptcy Court, except for claims for damages related to the rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases (any such Claims, “Rejection Damages Claims”).  Holders of Unimpaired Claims other than those holding Rejection Damages Claims shall not be subject to any Claims resolution process in the Bankruptcy Court in connection with their Claims, and shall retain all of their rights under applicable non-bankruptcy law to pursue their Claims against the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors or other Entity in any forum with jurisdiction over the parties.  The Debtors and Reorganized Debtors shall retain all defenses, counterclaims, rights to setoff, and rights to recoupment as to Unimpaired Claims.  If the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors dispute any Unimpaired Claim, such dispute shall be determined, resolved or adjudicated in the manner as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced, except with respect to Rejection Damages Claims, which shall be determined, resolved or adjudicated as set forth in Article V of the Plan.

Article V

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES
5.1Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

No Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease shall be assumed by Reorganized PrivateCo unless such Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease is listed as “assumed” by Reorganized PrivateCo in the Plan Supplement.  Except as otherwise provided herein, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease shall be deemed assumed by Capstone and/or the applicable Debtor counterparty (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Reorganized PrivateCo) and assigned to Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, without the need for any further notice to, or action, order, or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court, as of the Effective Date under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless any such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease: (a) is a Retained Contract; (b) is listed on the Rejection Schedule; (c) has been previously assumed or rejected by the Debtors by Final Order or has been assumed or rejected by the Debtors by order of the Bankruptcy Court as of the Effective Date, which order becomes a Final Order after the Effective Date; or (d) is the subject of a motion to assume or reject pending as of the Effective Date.  The assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases hereunder may include the

28


assignment of certain of such contracts to Affiliates.  The Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the above-described assumptions, assignments and rejections.

Except as otherwise provided herein or agreed to by the Debtors with the applicable counterparty, each assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements related thereto, and all rights related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated hereunder.  Modifications, amendments, supplements and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.

5.2Cure of Defaults and Objections to Assumption

Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, shall pay Cures in the ordinary course after the Effective Date.  Any dispute regarding a Cure shall be resolved in the ordinary course in an appropriate non­bankruptcy forum.  Any Cure shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged upon payment by Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, of the Cure.  Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, also may settle any Cure without any further notice to, or action, order or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court.

Any objection to the assumption of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan on grounds other than Cure must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court by the deadline established for filing objections to the Plan.  Any such objection will be scheduled to be heard by the Bankruptcy Court.  Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to timely object to the proposed assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease will be deemed to have consented to such assumption.

If there is a dispute regarding the ability of Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any other matter pertaining to assumption, then payment of Cure shall occur as soon as practicable after entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute, approving such assumption (and, if applicable, assignment), or as may be agreed upon by Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, and the counterparty to the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.  Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, reserves the right either to reject or nullify the assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease within forty-five (45) days after entry of a Final Order resolving an objection to assumption or determining the Cure or any request for adequate assurance of future performance required to assume such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.

Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Cures, Claims, or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any assumed

29


Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time prior to the effective date of assumption.  Any and all Claims based upon Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that have been assumed in the Chapter 11 Cases, including pursuant to the Confirmation Order, shall be deemed disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without the need for any objection thereto or any further notice to, or action, order or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court; provided, however, any Claim relating to a Cure shall be deemed disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date only upon payment of the Cure or as otherwise agreed by the Reorganized Debtors and the applicable claimant.

5.3Pre-existing Payment and Other Obligations

Rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall not constitute a termination of pre-existing obligations owed to the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, under such contract or lease.  In particular, to the extent permissible under applicable non-bankruptcy law, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve and do not waive any right to receive, or any continuing obligation of a counterparty to provide (a) payment to the contracting Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, of outstanding and future amounts owing thereto under or in connection with rejected Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases or (b) maintenance of, or to repair or replace, goods previously purchased by the contracting Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable.

5.4Rejection Damages Claims and Objections to Rejection

Pursuant to section 502(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, counterparties to Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that are rejected shall have the right to assert Claims, if any, on account of the rejection of such contracts and leases.  All Allowed Claims (excluding the Pre-Petition Secured Claim) arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases shall be classified as Class 5 — General Unsecured Claims against the Debtor(s) counterparty thereto.  

5.5Contracts, Intercompany Contracts, and Leases Entered Into After the Petition Date

Contracts, Intercompany Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by the Debtors and any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by the Debtors may be performed by Reorganized PublicCo and/or New Subsidiary, as applicable, in the ordinary course of business.

5.6Reservation of Rights

Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any contract or lease in the Plan Supplement, nor anything contained in the Plan, shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that the Reorganized Debtors have any liability thereunder.  If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption or rejection, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have forty-five (45) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.

Article VI

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS
6.1Distributions on Account of Claims and Interests Allowed as of the Effective Date
(a)Delivery of Distributions in General

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, a Final Order, or as otherwise agreed to by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (as the case may be) and the holder of the applicable Claim or Interest, on the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, shall make initial distributions under the Plan on account of Claims and Interests Allowed on or before the Effective Date, subject to the Reorganized Debtors’ right to object to Claims and Interests; provided, however, that (a) Allowed Administrative Claims with respect to liabilities incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of business during the Chapter 11 Cases or assumed by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date shall be paid or performed in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms and conditions of any controlling agreements, course of dealing, course of business, or industry practice, (b) Allowed Priority Tax Claims and Allowed Secured Tax Claims shall be paid in accordance with Sections 2.3 and 3.2(a) hereof, respectively.  To the extent any Allowed Priority Tax Claim or Allowed Secured Tax Claim is not due and owing on the Effective Date, such Claim shall be paid in full in Cash in accordance with the terms of any agreement between the Debtors and the holder of such Claim or as may be due and payable under applicable non-bankruptcy law or in the ordinary course of business.  For the avoidance of doubt, distributions to holders of an Allowed Pre-Petition Secured Claim will be made on the Effective Date.

6.2Special Rules for Distributions to Holders of Disputed Claims and Interests

Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan and except as otherwise agreed by the relevant parties, (a) no partial payments and no partial distributions shall be made with respect to a Disputed Claim or Interest until all such disputes in connection with such Disputed Claim or Interest have been resolved by settlement or Final Order, and (b) any Entity that holds both an Allowed Claim or Interest and a Disputed Claim or Interest shall not receive any distribution on the Allowed Claim or Interest unless and until all objections to the Disputed Claim or Interest have been resolved by settlement or Final Order or the Claims or Interests have been Allowed or expunged. Until a prepetition Unimpaired Claim has been (1) paid in full in accordance with applicable law, or on terms agreed to between the holder of such Claim and the applicable Reorganized Debtor(s), or in accordance with the terms and conditions of the particular transaction giving rise to such Claim, or (2) otherwise satisfied or disposed of as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (the occurrence of (1) or (2), an “Unimpaired Claim Resolution”), (a) the provisions of Article VIII.1–VIII.5 of the Plan shall not apply or take effect with respect to such Claim; (b) such Claim shall not be deemed settled, satisfied, resolved, released, discharged, barred, or enjoined; (c) the property of the applicable Debtor’s or Debtors’ Estates that vests in the applicable Reorganized Debtor(s) pursuant to the Plan shall not be free and clear of such Claim; and (d) any Liens of securing such Claim shall not be deemed released (subclauses (a) through (d), collectively, the “Unimpaired Claim Carve Out”). Upon the occurrence of an Unimpaired Claim Resolution with respect to a prepetition Unimpaired Claim, the Unimpaired Claim Carve Out shall

31


cease to apply to such Claim.  Any dividends or other distributions arising from property distributed to holders of Allowed Claims or Interests, as applicable, in a Class and paid to such holders under the Plan shall be paid also, in the applicable amounts, to any holder of a Disputed Claim or Interest, as applicable, in such Class that becomes an Allowed Claim or Interest after the date or dates that such dividends or other distributions were earlier paid to holders of Allowed Claims or Interests in such Class.

6.3Delivery of Distributions

On the Effective Date, distributions under the Plan shall be delivered by the Distribution Agent to each holder of such Interests.  The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Pre-Petition Secured Party, the NPA Collateral Agent, and the Distribution Agent, as applicable, shall not incur any liability whatsoever on account of any distributions under the Plan except for gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(a)Accrual of Dividends and Other Rights

For purposes of determining the accrual of dividends or other rights after the Effective Date, Reorganized PublicCo Equity, Reorganized PrivateCo Equity, New Subsidiary Common Units and New Subsidiary Preferred Units issued under the Plan shall be deemed distributed as of the Effective Date regardless of the date on which it is actually issued, dated, authenticated, or distributed.

(b)Compliance Matters

In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes, withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such distributions, or establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable and appropriate.  The Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and other spousal awards, liens, and encumbrances.  All Persons holding Claims shall be required to provide any information necessary to effect information reporting and the withholding of such taxes.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, (a) each holder of an Allowed Claim shall have the 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 Reorganized Debtors for the payment and satisfaction of such tax obligations.

32


(c)Foreign Currency Exchange Rate

Except as otherwise provided in a Bankruptcy Court order, as of the Effective Date, any Claim asserted in currency other than U.S. dollars shall be automatically deemed converted to the equivalent U.S. dollar value using the exchange rate for the applicable currency as published in The Wall Street Journal, National Edition, on the Effective Date.

(d)Fractional, Undeliverable, and Unclaimed Distributions
(1)No Fractional Distributions.  The Distribution Agent may not make distributions of fractions of shares of Reorganized PublicCo Equity, Reorganized PrivateCo Equity, New Subsidiary Common Units or New Subsidiary Preferred Units, as applicable.  Whenever fractional distributions would otherwise be called for, the actual distributions may reflect a rounding down of such fractions.
(2)Undeliverable Distributions.  If any distribution to a holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest is returned to a Distribution Agent as undeliverable, no further distributions shall be made to such holder unless and until such Distribution Agent is notified in writing of such holder’s then-current address or other necessary information for delivery, at which time all currently due missed distributions shall be made to such holder as soon as practicable.  Undeliverable distributions shall remain in the possession of Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary, as applicable, until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable, or such distribution reverts to Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary or is cancelled pursuant to Section 6.3(e)(3) hereof, and shall not be supplemented with any interest, dividends, or other accruals of any kind.
(3)Reversion. The Debtors shall use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate as needed with those holding Allowed Claims to ensure distributions are received.  Any distribution under the Plan that is an Unclaimed Distribution for a period of six months after distribution shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and such Unclaimed Distribution shall revest in the Reorganized Debtors and, to the extent such Unclaimed Distribution is a New Subsidiary Common Unit or a New Subsidiary Preferred Unit, shall be deemed cancelled.  Upon such revesting, the Claim or Interest of any holder or its successors with respect to such property shall be cancelled, discharged, and forever barred notwithstanding any applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned or unclaimed property laws, or any provisions in any document governing the distribution that is an Unclaimed Distribution, to the contrary.
(e)Surrender of Cancelled Instruments or Securities

On the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, each holder of a Certificate shall surrender such Certificate to the Distribution Agent.  Such Certificate shall be cancelled solely

33


with respect to the Debtors, and such cancellation shall not alter the obligations or rights of any non-Debtors third parties vis-a-vis one another with respect to such Certificate.  No distribution of property pursuant to the Plan shall be made to or on behalf of any such holder unless and until such Certificate is received by the Distribution Agent or the unavailability of such Certificate is reasonably established to the satisfaction of the Distribution Agent pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.3(f) hereof.  Any holder who fails to surrender or cause to be surrendered such Certificate or fails to execute and deliver an affidavit of loss and indemnity acceptable to the Distribution Agent prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date shall have its Claim or Interest discharged with no further action, be forever barred from asserting any such Claim or Interest against the relevant Entity in the Reorganized Debtors or its property, be deemed to have forfeited all rights and Claims and Interests with respect to such Certificate, and not participate in any distribution under the Plan; furthermore, all property with respect to such forfeited distributions, including any dividends or interest attributable thereto, shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors notwithstanding any federal or state escheat, abandoned or unclaimed property law to the contrary.  Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, this Section 6.3(e) shall not apply to any Claims and Interests reinstated pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

(f)Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Securities

Any holder of Allowed Claims or Interests evidenced by a Certificate that has been lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed shall, in lieu of surrendering such Certificate, deliver to the Distribution Agent an affidavit of loss acceptable to the Distribution Agent setting forth the unavailability of the Certificate and such additional indemnity as may be required reasonably by the Distribution Agent to hold the Distribution Agent harmless from any damages, liabilities, or costs incurred in treating such holder as a holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest.  Upon compliance with this procedure by a holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest evidenced by such a lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Certificate, such holder shall, for all purposes pursuant to the Plan, be deemed to have surrendered such Certificate.

6.4Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties

A Claim shall be reduced in full and such Claim shall be disallowed without a Claims objection having to be filed and without any further notice to, or action, order or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court, to the extent that the holder of such Claim receives payment in full on account of such Claim from a party that is not the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors.  To the extent a holder of a Claim receives a distribution on account of such Claim and receives payment from a party that is not the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors on account of such Claim, such holder shall repay, return, or deliver any distribution held by or transferred to the holder to the Reorganized Debtors to the extent the holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount of such Claim as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan.

6.5Setoffs

Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein (including with respect to any Pre-Petition Secured Claim with respect to letters of credit as provided in the definition of Other Secured Claims), the Reorganized Debtors, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (including section

34


553 of the Bankruptcy Code), applicable non­bankruptcy law, or as may be agreed to by the holder of a Claim, may set off against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of such Allowed Claim (before any distribution is made on account of such Allowed Claim), any Claims, rights, and Causes of Action of any nature that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may hold against the holder of such Allowed Claim, to the extent such Claims, rights, or Causes of Action against such holder have not been otherwise compromised or settled on or prior to the Effective Date (whether pursuant to the Plan or otherwise): provided, however, that neither the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim pursuant to the Plan shall constitute a waiver or release by such Reorganized Debtors of any such Claims, rights, and Causes of Action that such Reorganized Debtors may possess against such holder.

6.6Allocation Between Principal and Accrued Interest

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the aggregate consideration paid to holders with respect to their Allowed Claims shall be treated pursuant to the Plan as allocated first to the principal amount of such Allowed Claims (to the extent thereof) and, thereafter, to the interest, if any, accrued through the Effective Date.

Article VII

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED CLAIMS AND INTERESTS
7.1Disputed Claims Process

All Allowed Claims against the Debtors shall be paid in the ordinary course by Reorganized PublicCo or New Subsidiary. All Claims shall be asserted against Reorganized PublicCo and/or New Subsidiary, and Claims asserted against Reorganized PrivateCo shall be deemed Claims against Reorganized PublicCo and/or New Subsidiary.  Parties are not required to file Proofs of Claim.  In the event that one or more parties files a Proof of Claim, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve all rights to contest any such Proof of Claim.  Except as otherwise provided herein, if a party files a Proof of Claim and the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, do not determine in their discretion, and without the need for notice to, or action, order or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court, that the Claim subject to such Proof of Claim is Allowed, such Claim shall be Disputed unless Allowed or disallowed by a Final Order or as otherwise set forth in this Article VII. For the avoidance of doubt, on and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may negotiate and settle any Claims, including Claims for which a Proof of Claim has been filed, without further notice to or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the Claims and Noticing Agent or any other party.

7.2Prosecution of Objections to Claims and Interests

Except insofar as a Claim or Interest is Allowed under the Plan, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any other party in interest shall be entitled to object to the Claim or Interest.  Any objections to Claims and Interests shall be served and filed on or before the 120th day after the Effective Date or by such later date as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Reorganized Debtors may prosecute, adjudicate or otherwise resolve Claims and Interests in non-bankruptcy forums after the expiration

35


of such 120-day period.  For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, from and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses such Debtors had immediately prior to the Effective Date with respect to any Disputed Claim or Interest, including the Causes of Action retained pursuant to Section 4.15 hereof.

7.3No Interest

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or by order of the Bankruptcy Court, 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 or right.  Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing, interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Disputed Claim with respect to the period from the Effective Date to the date a final distribution is made on account of such Disputed Claim, if and when such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

7.4Disallowance of Claims and Interests

All Claims and Interests of any Entity from which property is sought by the Debtors under section 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors allege is a transferee of a transfer that is avoidable under section 522(t), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be disallowed if (a) the Entity, on the one hand, and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, on the other hand, agree, or the Bankruptcy Court has determined by Final Order, that such Entity or transferee is liable to turn over any property or monies under any of the aforementioned sections of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) such Entity or transferee has failed to turn over such property by the date set forth in such agreement or Final Order.

Article VIII

EFFECT OF CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN
8.1Discharge of Claims and Termination of Interests

Except as otherwise provided for herein and effective as of the Effective Date: (a) the rights afforded in the Plan and the treatment of all Claims and Interests shall be in exchange for and in complete satisfaction, discharge, and release of all Claims and Interests of any nature whatsoever against the Debtors or any of their assets, property, or Estates; (b) the Plan shall bind all holders of Claims and Interests, notwithstanding whether any such holders failed to vote to accept or reject the Plan or voted to reject the Plan; (c) all Claims and Interests shall be satisfied, discharged, and released in full, and the Debtors’ liability with respect thereto shall be extinguished completely, including any liability of the kind specified under section 502(g) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (d) all Entities shall be precluded from asserting against the Debtors, the Debtors’ Estates, the Reorganized Debtors, their successors and assigns, and their assets and properties any other Claims or Interests based upon any documents, instruments, or any act or omission, transaction, or other activity of any kind or nature that occurred prior to the Effective Date.

Section 3.06Conversion of Preferred Units. Preferred Units shall be converted into Common Units in accordance with the following:
(a)A Preferred Member may convert its Preferred Units into Common Units at any time and from time to time as follows:
(i)Upon the written election of a Preferred Member and without payment of any additional consideration, the number of specified Preferred Units shall be converted into the number of Common Units equal to (A) the specified number of Preferred Units divided by the total number of Preferred Units then outstanding, times (B) 37.5000% of the Common Units Deemed Outstanding.
(ii)To the extent some, but not all, of a Preferred Member’s Preferred Units have been converted, the percentage included in Section

21


3.06(a)(i) shall be proportionally reduced. The same adjustment shall apply for purposes of calculating other as-converted entitlements of the Preferred Units, including voting rights and Distributions, and the Aggregate Purchase Price (for purposes of determining the Liquidation Preference of the remaining unconverted Preferred Units). By way of illustrative example, if 5,249,931.5 Preferred Units are converted, out of 10,449,863 total Preferred Units issued and outstanding (i.e., one-half), the percentage in Section 3.06(a)(i)(B) shall be reduced to 18.7500% (i.e, by one-half).

Such notice shall state such Preferred Member’s name and the names of the nominees in which such Preferred Member wishes the Common Units to be issued.
(ii)The close of business on the date of receipt by the Board, or such other date or time indicated on the notice of conversion, shall be the effective time of conversion, the Common Units issuable upon conversion of the specified Preferred Units shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date, and the Preferred Units converted into such Common Units shall be deemed to be canceled as of such date.
Section 3.07Redemption of Preferred Units.
(a)Optional Redemption; Redemption Date. At any time during the Preferred Units Redemption Period, the Preferred Requisite Members may elect to have all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Preferred Units redeemed (a “Redemption Request”). In such event, the Company shall redeem, except to the extent any of the Redemption Exceptions applies, all, but not less than all, of the Preferred Units at the Redemption Price. Any election pursuant to this Section 3.07(a) shall be made by written notice from the Preferred Requisite Members to the Company (a “Redemption Notice”). The Preferred Units shall be deemed redeemed only upon receipt of the pro rata portion of the Redemption Price payable to each Preferred Member for such Preferred Member’s percentage of the Preferred Units.
(b)Redemption Price. The aggregate price for Preferred Units redeemed pursuant to a Redemption Notice shall be an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Aggregate Purchase Price, plus declared but unpaid Distributions, or (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Preferred Units on an as-converted to Common Units basis at the time of such redemption (the “Redemption Price”). The aggregate Redemption Price shall be payable in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Preferred Members on the Redemption Date, on a pro rata basis.

22


(c)Insufficient Funds. If on a Redemption Date, a Redemption Exception prevents the Company from redeeming all Preferred Units, the Company shall redeem the maximum possible number of Preferred Units from the Preferred Members without triggering any Redemption Exceptions. At any time thereafter when the Redemption Exceptions do not prevent the Company from redeeming Preferred Units that remain issued and outstanding, the Company shall immediately use its funds to redeem the balance of the Preferred Units that the Company became obligated to redeem on the Redemption Date (but which it has not yet redeemed) at the then applicable Redemption Price. Any unredeemed Preferred Units shall remain outstanding and entitled to all of their rights and preferences.
(d)Capital Raise. The Company may, following the receipt of a Redemption Notice, raise new capital, including by incurring indebtedness or issuing equity, to fund the Redemption Price. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no Preferred Member shall have any consent rights pursuant to Section 4.06 or preemptive rights pursuant to Section 9.01 following the Redemption Request, solely with respect to any capital raised by the Company to fund the Redemption Price; provided that all of the Preferred Units are redeemed contemporaneously with, and as a condition to, the consummation of such capital raise and (ii) no Preferred Member shall have the consent right set forth in Section 4.06(a)(viii) in respect of the refinancing of any indebtedness to the Preferred Members or their Affiliates in connection with the maturity or acceleration thereof, solely with respect to the repayment of such indebtedness; provided that all such indebtedness is repaid contemporaneously with, and as a condition to, the consummation of such refinancing.
(e)Regulatory Redemption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time and in the Preferred Requisite Members’ sole discretion, the Preferred Requisite Members may elect for the Company to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Preferred Members’ outstanding Preferred Units, Common Units and any other class of Units, in each case for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 for each class of Units.
Section 3.08Breaches; Failure to Effect Redemption.
(a)In the event of a Breach that is not cured within thirty (30) days of the written notice of such Breach from the Preferred Requisite Members to the Board, then (i) the Preferred Units shall be entitled to mandatory preferential Distributions at a per annum rate equal to 10.0000% of the Redemption Price determined on the date of such Breach, increasing by 1.0000% at the end of each three-month period thereafter (provided that in no event shall such rate exceed 16.0000%), commencing on such thirtieth (30th) day and continuing until the Breach is cured (provided that the payments of Distributions shall be in cash and subject to the Redemption Exceptions), and (ii) if such Breach is not cured within twelve (12) months of a written notice of such Breach from the Preferred Requisite Members to the Board, the Preferred Requisite Members may initiate and effect a financing transaction (which may include a sale of the Company) to redeem the Preferred Units; provided that such redemption may be consummated only on or after the second (2nd) anniversary of this Agreement and that any such financing transaction (or sale of the Company) is on terms reasonably acceptable to the Board.

23


(b)In the event that the Company does not timely satisfy in full, in cash, a Redemption Request and such failure continues beyond the Redemption Deadline (a “Redemption Breach”), then (i) the Preferred Units shall be entitled to mandatory preferential Distributions at a per annum rate equal to 10.0000% of the Redemption Price determined on the date of such Redemption Breach, increasing by 1.0000% at the end of each three-month period thereafter (provided that in no event shall such rate exceed 16.0000%), commencing on the Redemption Deadline and continuing until the Redemption Price is paid (provided that the payments of Distributions shall be in cash and subject to the Redemption Exceptions), and (ii) if such Redemption Breach is not cured within twelve (12) months of the Redemption Deadline, the Preferred Requisite Members may initiate and effect a financing transaction (which may include a sale of the Company) to redeem the Preferred Units; provided that such redemption may be consummated only on or after the second (2nd) anniversary of this Agreement and that any such financing transaction (or sale of the Company) is on terms reasonably acceptable to the Board.
(c)Without prejudice to the remedies to which the Preferred Members are entitled pursuant to Section 3.08(b), if the Company is unable to satisfy a Redemption Request in full, in cash, by the Redemption Deadline due to a Redemption Exception, then the Company shall pursue in good faith a financing transaction for the purpose of raising sufficient funds to effectuate such redemption in compliance with the Redemption Exceptions. For the avoidance of doubt, unless there is a change in Applicable Law, if any financing transaction (or sale of the Company) constitutes a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Reorganized PublicCo, such financing transaction (or sale of the Company) shall be subject to approval by Reorganized PublicCo’s Board and stockholders.

The Voting Members may hold meetings at the Company’s principal office or at such other place as the Board or the Member(s) calling the meeting may designate in the notice for such meeting.
(d)Any Voting Member may participate in a meeting of the Voting Members by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all Persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting by such means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.
(e)On any matter that is to be voted on by Voting Members, a Voting Member may vote in person or by proxy, and such proxy may be granted in writing, by means of Electronic Transmission, or as otherwise permitted by Applicable Law. Every proxy shall be revocable in the discretion of the Voting Member executing it unless otherwise provided in such proxy; provided, that such right to revocation shall not invalidate or otherwise affect actions taken under such proxy prior to such revocation.
(f)The business to be conducted at such meeting need not be limited to the purpose described in the notice and can include business to be conducted by Voting Members holding Common Units and Voting Members holding Preferred Units; provided, that the applicable Voting Members shall have been notified of the meeting in accordance with Section 4.07(c); and provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Preferred Member shall have the right to request removal from the meeting of any Common Member prior to any discussion of business at the meeting for which the Common Units do not have a vote, consent right or approval right. Attendance of a Member at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Member attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
Section 4.08Quorum; Required Vote. A quorum of any meeting of the Voting Members shall require the presence in person or by proxy of Members holding a majority of the applicable Voting Units. Subject to Section 4.08, no action at any meeting may be taken by the Members unless the applicable quorum is present.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.06 and Section 4.07, any matter that is to be voted on, consented to, or approved by Voting Members may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if consented to, in writing or by Electronic Transmission, by a Member or Members holding not less than the minimum

30


number of Units that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which each Member entitled to vote on the action were present and voted; provided, however, that each Member entitled to vote on the action had been provided with not less than three (3) business days’ advance notice prior to the taking of such action without a meeting. A record shall be maintained by the Board of each such action taken by written consent of a Member or Members. The Company shall, within five (5) Business Days following the taking of any such action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent, provide notice (which notice may be oral, telephonic, or otherwise), together with a copy of the action taken, to those Members who were entitled to vote on such matter but have not consented thereto in writing.

Each Member and such Member’s Affiliates may, subject to performing their obligations set out in this Agreement (including under Section 4.06(b) and, in the case of a Manager that is an Affiliate of a Member, under Section 8.10(b)) or in any other agreement to which such Member or Affiliate is a party with a Restricted Entity, engage in any other activities, ventures, or businesses, regardless of whether those activities, ventures, or businesses are similar to or competitive with the Business; none of the Members or any of their Affiliates shall be obligated to account to the Company or to any other Member for any profits or income earned or derived from such other unrestricted activities, ventures, or businesses. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.06(b) and Section 8.10(b) or in any other agreement to which such Member or Affiliate is a party with a Restricted Entity, none of the Members or any of their Affiliates shall be obligated to inform the Company or the other Members of any investment or business opportunity of any type or description.

No real or personal property of the Company shall be deemed to be owned by any Member individually, but shall be owned by, and title shall be vested solely in, the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, each Member hereby irrevocably waives during the term of the Company any right that such Member may have to maintain any action for partition with respect to the property of the Company. All the Company’s assets shall be recorded as the property of the Company on its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such assets is held.

31


Section 5.02Additional Capital Contributions. 
(a)No Member shall be required to make any additional Capital Contributions to the Company.

Any reference in this Agreement to a Distribution to a Person shall include any Distributions made to a former or Transferor Member in respect of Units Transferred to such Person.

32


Section 5.05Negative Capital Accounts. In the event that any Member shall have a deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account, such Member shall have no obligation, during the term of the Company or upon dissolution or liquidation thereof, to restore such negative balance or make any Capital Contributions to the Company by reason thereof, except as may be required by Applicable Law or in respect of any negative balance resulting from a withdrawal of capital or dissolution in contravention of this Agreement.
Section 5.06No Withdrawal. No Member shall be entitled to withdraw any part of such Member’s Capital Account or to receive any Distribution from the Company, except as provided in this Agreement. No Member shall receive any interest, salary, or drawing with respect to such Member’s Capital Contributions or Capital Account, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The Capital Accounts are maintained for the sole purpose of allocating items of income, gain, loss, and deduction among the Members and shall have no effect on the amount of any Distributions to any Members, pursuant to ARTICLE VII, ARTICLE XII or otherwise.
Section 5.07Treatment of Loans from Members. Loans by any Member to the Company shall not be considered Capital Contributions and shall not affect the maintenance of such Member’s Capital Account, other than to the extent provided in Section 5.03(a)(iii), if applicable.
Section 5.08Modifications. The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations.

ARTICLE VI
Allocations
Section 6.01Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss. For each Fiscal Year (or portion thereof), except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Net Income and Net Loss (and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss, or deduction) of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that, after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.02, the Capital Account balance of each Member, immediately after making such allocations, is, as nearly as possible, equal to (a) the Distributions that would be made to such Member pursuant to Section 12.03(c) if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up, and its assets sold for cash equal to their Book Value, all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each Nonrecourse Liability to the Book Value of the assets securing such liability), and the net assets of the Company were Distributed, in accordance with Section 12.03(c), to the Members immediately after making such allocations, minus (b) such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets.
Section 6.02Regulatory and Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.01:

33


(a)If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain (determined according to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(d)(1)) during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall be specially allocated Net Income for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.02(a) is intended to comply with the “minimum gain chargeback” requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(b)Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member that has a share of such Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain shall be specially allocated Net Income for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Items to be allocated pursuant to this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.02(b) is intended to comply with the “minimum gain chargeback” requirements in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(c)In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), Net Income shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by such adjustments, allocations, or distributions as quickly as possible. This Section 6.02(c) is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(d)If the amount of Net Losses for any taxable period that would otherwise be allocated to a Member under Section 6.01 would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member as of the last day of such taxable period, then a proportionate part of such Net Losses, equal to such excess shall be allocated to the other Members, and the remainder of such Net Losses, if any, shall be allocated to such Member. In the event that some but not all of the Members would have or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as a result of an allocation of Net Losses under Section 6.01, except as otherwise required by the Code and Treasury Regulations, the limitation set forth in this Section 6.02(d) shall be applied on a Member-by-Member basis and Net Losses not allocable to any Member as a result of such limitation shall be allocated to the other Members in accordance with the positive balances in such other Members’ respective Capital Accounts so as to allocate the maximum permissible Net Losses to each Member under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and thereafter Net Losses shall be allocated in proportion to Percentage Interests.
(e)The allocations set forth in Section 6.02(a), Section 6.02(b), Section 6.02(c) and Section 6.02(d) above (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with

34


certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this ARTICLE VI (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Net Income and Net Losses among Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Net Income and Net Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.
Section 6.03Tax Allocations.
(a)Subject to Section 6.03(b) through Section 6.03(d), all income, gains, losses, and deductions of the Company shall be allocated, for federal, state, and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, and deductions among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation for tax purposes is not permitted by the Code or other Applicable Law, the Company’s subsequent income, gains, losses, and deductions shall be allocated among the Members for tax purposes, to the extent permitted by the Code and other Applicable Law, so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts.
(b)Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the traditional method of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b), so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value.
(c)If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) as provided in clause (c) of the definition of Book Value, subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c).
(d)Allocations of tax credit, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members according to their interests in such items as determined by the Board taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).
(e)Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.03 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Income, Net Losses, Distributions, or other items pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.
Section 6.04Allocations in Respect of Transferred Units. In the event of a Transfer of Units during any Fiscal Year made in compliance with the provisions of ARTICLE X, Net Income, Net Losses, and other items of income, gain, loss, and deduction of the Company attributable to such Units for such Fiscal Year shall be determined using the interim closing of the books method.

35


Section 6.05Curative Allocations. In the event that the Board determines, after consultation with counsel experienced in income tax matters, that the allocation of any item of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction is not specified in this ARTICLE VI (an “Unallocated Item”), or that the allocation of any item of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction hereunder is clearly inconsistent with the Members’ economic interests in the Company (determined by reference to the general principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and the factors set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(3)(ii)) (a “Misallocated Item”), then the Board may allocate such Unallocated Items, or reallocate such Misallocated Items, to reflect such economic interests; provided, that no such allocation will be made without the prior consent of each Member that would be adversely affected thereby; and provided, further, that no such allocation shall have any material effect on the amounts Distributable to any Member, including the amounts to be Distributed upon the complete liquidation of the Company.
ARTICLE VII
Distributions
Section 7.01General. 
(a)Subject to Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b), Section 4.06, Section 7.01(b), Section 7.02, Section 7.03, Section 7.04, and except as otherwise expressly provided in ARTICLE XII, the Board shall have sole discretion regarding the amounts and timing of Distributions to Members, including to decide to forgo payment of Distributions in order to provide for the retention and establishment of reserves of, or payment to third parties of, such funds as it deems necessary with respect to the reasonable business needs of the Company (which needs may include the payment or the making of provision for the payment when due of the Company’s obligations, including present and anticipated debts and obligations, capital needs and expenses, the payment of any management or administrative fees and expenses, and reasonable reserves for contingencies).
(b)Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make any Distribution if such Distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Delaware Act or other Applicable Law.
Section 7.02Distributions. After making all Distributions required for a given Fiscal Year under Section 7.03 (giving effect to Section 7.03(d)) and any Distributions required pursuant to Section 3.08(a) and Section 3.08(b), all Distributions determined to be made by the Board shall be made to the Members holding Preferred Units, on an as-converted basis, and Common Units, in each case pro rata based on each Member’s Percentage Interest; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Distributions are required to be made pursuant to Section 12.03, such Distributions shall be made solely in accordance with Section 12.03(c); provided, further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions to be made in connection with a Reorganized PublicCo Approved Sale shall be made solely in accordance with Section 10.04.
Section 7.03Tax Advances. 
(a)At least five (5) days before each date prescribed by the Code for a calendar-year corporation to pay quarterly installments of estimated tax, the Company shall use

36


commercially reasonable efforts to Distribute cash to each Member in proportion to and to the extent of such Member’s Quarterly Estimated Tax Amount for the applicable calendar quarter (each such Distribution, a “Tax Advance”).
(b)If, at any time after the final Quarterly Estimated Tax Amount has been Distributed pursuant to Section 7.03(a) with respect to any Fiscal Year, the aggregate Tax Advances to any Member with respect to such Fiscal Year are less than such Member’s Tax Amount for such Fiscal Year (a “Shortfall Amount”), the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to Distribute cash in proportion to and to the extent of each Member’s Shortfall Amount. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to Distribute Shortfall Amounts with respect to a Fiscal Year before the seventy-fifth (75th) day of the next succeeding Fiscal Year; provided, that if the Company has made Distributions other than pursuant to this Section 7.03, the Board may apply such Distributions to reduce any Shortfall Amount.
(c)If the aggregate Tax Advances made to any Member pursuant to this Section 7.03 for any Fiscal Year exceed such Member’s Tax Amount (an “Excess Amount”), such Excess Amount shall reduce subsequent Tax Advances that would be made to such Member pursuant to this Section 7.03, except to the extent taken into account as an advance pursuant to Section 7.03(d).
(d)Any Distributions made to a Member pursuant to this Section 7.03 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as advances on Distributions pursuant to Section 7.02 and shall reduce, dollar-for-dollar, the amount otherwise Distributable to such Member pursuant to Section 7.02.
Section 7.04Distributions in Kind.
(a)The Board is hereby authorized, in its sole discretion, to make Distributions to the Members in the form of securities or other property held by the Company; provided, that Tax Advances and any Distributions under Section 3.07, Section 3.08(a) and Section 3.08(b) shall be made only in cash. In any such non-cash Distribution, the securities or other property so Distributed will be Distributed among the Members in the same proportion and priority as cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such securities or other property would be Distributed among the Members pursuant to Section 7.02, and any resulting gain or loss shall be allocated to the Members’ Capital Accounts in accordance therewith.
(b)Any Distribution of securities shall be subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Board determines are required or advisable to ensure compliance with Applicable Law. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Board may require that the Members execute and deliver such documents as the Board may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance with all federal and state securities laws that apply to such Distribution and any further transfer of the Distributed securities.

Section 8.01Establishment and Authority of the Board. A board of managers of the Company (the “Board”) is hereby established and shall be comprised of natural Persons (each such Person, a “Manager”) who shall be appointed in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.02. The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed, operated, and controlled by or under the direction of the Board, and the Board shall have, and is hereby granted, the full and complete power, authority, and discretion for, on behalf of, and in the name of the Company, to take such actions as it may in its sole discretion deem necessary or advisable to carry out any and all of the objectives and purposes of the Company, to exercise any rights and powers granted to the Company under this Agreement, and to exercise all power and authority vested in managers under the Delaware Act, in each case subject only to the terms of this Agreement, including Section 4.06. Except as provided in this Agreement, no Manager, acting alone or with any other Managers, in such Manager’s capacity as such, shall have any authority to bind the Company with respect to any matter except pursuant to a resolution authorizing such action that is duly adopted by the Board by the affirmative vote required with respect to such matter pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 8.02Board Composition.

Section 8.03Board Observer Right.
(a)The Preferred Requisite Members shall have the right to appoint one individual as a non-voting observer to the Board (“Board Observer”). The Board Observer shall be entitled to attend all meetings of the Board and any committees of the Board and to receive all information provided to the members of the Board or its committees (including minutes of previous meetings of the Board or such committees); provided, that the Company reserves the right to exclude any such Board Observer from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if the Board reasonably determines, in good faith after consultation with outside counsel, that (i) such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel, (ii) withholding such materials or so excluding the Board Observer is reasonably necessary due to a direct conflict of interest involving the Board Observer or (iii) the Board Observer is (or is affiliated with) a direct competitor of the Company and access to such materials or attendance at such meeting or portion thereof directly relates to the competitive activities, and, in any such case, the Company advises the Board Observer in writing of such determination; provided, further, that such exclusion shall be limited to the portion of the material or meeting that is the basis for such exclusion and shall not extend to any portion of the material or meeting that does not involve or pertain to such exclusion. For the avoidance of doubt, the Board Observer shall not have voting rights or fiduciary obligations to the Company or its Members (and a Board Observer may be required to enter into a confidentiality agreement if requested by the Board).

38

(b)In the event that a vacancy is created on the Board at any time due to the death, disability, retirement, resignation, or removal of a Manager, the Common Requisite Members shall have the exclusive right to designate an individual to fill such vacancy and the Company and each Member hereby agrees to take such actions as may be required to ensure the election or appointment of any such designee to fill such vacancy on the Board.
(c)A Manager may resign at any time from the Board by delivering such Manager’s written resignation to the Board. Any such resignation shall be effective upon receipt thereof unless it is specified to be effective at some other time or upon the occurrence of some other event. The Board’s acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.
(d)The Board shall maintain a schedule of all Managers with their respective mailing addresses (the “Managers Schedule”), and may update the Managers Schedule upon the appointment, removal, or replacement of any Manager in accordance with Section 8.02 or this Section 8.04, without the consent of any other Person.
Section 8.05Meetings of the Board. 
(a)The Board shall meet at such time and at such place as the Board may designate. Meetings of the Board may be held either in person or by means of telephone or video conference or other communications device that permits all Managers participating in the meeting to hear each other, at the offices of the Company, or such other place (either within or outside the State of Delaware) as may be determined from time to time by the Board. Written notice of each regular meeting of the Board shall be given to each Manager at least seventy-two (72) hours prior to each such meeting.
(b)Special meetings of the Board shall be held on the call of any two (2) Managers upon at least five (5) days’ written notice (if the meeting is to be held in person) or one (1) day’s written notice (if the meeting is to be held by telephone communications or video conference) to the Managers, or upon such shorter notice as may be approved by all the Managers. Any Manager may waive such notice as to such Manager.
(c)Attendance of a Manager at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Manager attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular

39


or special meeting of the Board need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.
Section 8.06Quorum; Manner of Acting. 
(a)A majority of the Managers serving on the Board present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of the Board. At all times when the Board is conducting business at a meeting of the Board, a quorum of the Board must be present at such meeting. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board, then the Managers present at the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.
(b)Any Manager may participate in a meeting of the Board by means of telephone or video conference or other communications device that permits all Managers participating in the meeting to hear each other, and participation in a meeting by such means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. A Manager may vote or be present at a meeting either in person or by proxy, and such proxy may be granted in writing, by means of Electronic Transmission, or as otherwise permitted by Applicable Law.
(c)Each Manager shall have one vote on all matters submitted to the Board or any committee thereof. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement, with respect to any matter before the Board, the affirmative act of a majority of the Managers in attendance at any meeting of the Board at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board.
Section 8.07Action By Written Consent. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.05 and Section 8.06, any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action to be taken, is signed unanimously by all the Managers. Any such consent shall have the same force and effect as a vote at a meeting of the Board where a quorum was present and may be stated as such in any document or instrument filed with the Secretary of State.
Section 8.08Officers. The Board may appoint individuals as officers of the Company (the “Officers”) as the Board deems necessary or desirable to carry on the business of the Company, and the Board may delegate to such Officers, and the Chief Executive Officer may delegate to such Officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, such power and authority as the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, as applicable, deems advisable. Unless the Board or the Chief Executive Officer (for any titles other than Chief Executive Officer) otherwise decides, if the title is one commonly used for officers of a Delaware corporation, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such Officer of the authority and duties that are normally associated with that office of a Delaware corporation, subject to any specific delegation of authority and duties made to such Officer by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, as applicable. No Officer need be a Member or Manager. Any individual may hold two or more offices of the Company. Each Officer shall hold office until such Officer’s successor is designated by the Board or until such Officer’s earlier death, resignation, or removal. Any Officer may resign at any time upon written notice to the Board. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary

40


to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the written notice of resignation. Any Officer may be removed by the Board (acting by majority vote of all Managers other than the Officer being considered for removal, if a Manager) with or without cause at any time. A vacancy in any office occurring because of death, resignation, removal, or otherwise, may, but need not, be filled by the Board.
Section 8.09Compensation and Reimbursement of Managers; No Employment. 
(a)No Manager shall be compensated for such Manager’s service as a Manager. Each Manager shall be reimbursed for such Manager’s ordinary, necessary, and direct out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of such Manager’s duties as a Manager, pursuant to such policies as may from time to time be established by the Board. Nothing contained in this Section 8.09 shall be construed to preclude any Manager from serving the Company or its Affiliates in any other capacity and receiving reasonable compensation for such services.
(b)This Agreement does not, and is not intended to, confer upon any Manager any rights with respect to employment by the Company or any of its Affiliates, and nothing herein shall be construed to have created any employment agreement with any Manager.
Section 8.10Other Activities of Managers; Business Opportunities. 
(a)Each Manager shall devote so much of such Manager’s time and attention to the business of the Company as such Manager deems appropriate in such Manager’s reasonable discretion. No Manager or Board Observer shall engage in any activity, venture, or business other than those of the Existing Business as a result of or using Confidential Information.
(b)If a Manager is offered or discovers a business opportunity of the type and character that is within the scope of the Existing Business (a “Business Opportunity”), such Manager shall, prior to pursuing such Business Opportunity and subject to Section 4.06(b), offer to the Company the right to pursue such Business Opportunity for the benefit of the Existing Business, regardless of whether such Manager believes any Restricted Entity would be able (financially or otherwise) or willing to pursue such Business Opportunity.
Section 8.11No Personal Liability. Except as otherwise provided in the Delaware Act, by Applicable Law, or expressly in this Agreement, no Manager or Officer will be obligated personally for any debt, obligation, or liability of any Restricted Entity, whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, solely by reason of being a Manager or Officer.
ARTICLE IX
Preemptive Rights
Section 9.01Preemptive Right. 
(a)Issuance of New Securities. The Company hereby grants each Preferred Member the right to purchase all or any portion of such Preferred Member’s Pro Rata

41


Portion, at such Preferred Member’s sole discretion, of 100.0000% of any New Securities that any Restricted Entity may from time to time propose to issue or sell to any party (an “Offeree”). For purposes hereof, “New Securities” shall include any and all new issuances of debt (including by way of incurring loans or issuing debt securities), Units (other than Units that are authorized for issuance on the date hereof) and any Unit Equivalents (other than Unit Equivalents that are authorized for issuance on the date hereof) other than Units or Unit Equivalents issued or sold by any Restricted Entity in connection with: (i) the conversion or exchange of any Unit Equivalents into Units, or the exercise of any warrants or other rights to acquire Units; (ii) any acquisition by any Restricted Entity of any business (whether by stock or asset purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) or entry into any joint venture or similar arrangement; (iii) any merger, consolidation, or other business combination involving a Restricted Entity and a Third-Party Purchaser; (iv) the commencement of any public offering or direct listing by a Restricted Entity; (v) any subdivision of Units (by a split of Units or otherwise) or payment of Distributions; (vi) a financing contemplated by Section 3.07(d); or (vii) any issuances of Common Units by the Company to Reorganized PublicCo.
(b)Additional Issuance Notices. The Company shall give written notice (an “Issuance Notice”) of any proposed issuance or sale of New Securities described in Section 9.01(a) to the Preferred Members within five (5) Business Days following any meeting of the Board at which any such issuance or sale is approved and, if required, once approved under Section 4.06. The Issuance Notice shall, if applicable, be accompanied by a written offer from any prospective purchaser seeking to purchase New Securities (a “Prospective Purchaser”) and shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the proposed issuance or sale, including:
(i)the number and description of the New Securities proposed to be issued and the percentage of the Company’s Units then outstanding on a fully diluted basis (both in the aggregate and with respect to each class or series of Units proposed to be issued) that such issuance would represent;
(ii)the proposed issuance date, which shall be at least twenty (20) Business Days from the date of the Issuance Notice;
(iii)the proposed purchase price per Unit of the New Securities; and
(iv)if the consideration to be paid by the Prospective Purchaser includes non-cash consideration, the Board’s good-faith determination of the Fair Market Value thereof.

The Issuance Notice shall also be accompanied by a current copy of the Members Schedule indicating the Members’ holdings of Units in a manner that enables each Member to calculate such Member’s Pro Rata Portion of any New Securities.

(c)Exercise of Preemptive Rights. Each Preferred Member shall for a period of ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of an Issuance Notice (the “Exercise

42


Period”) have the right to elect irrevocably to purchase all or any portion of such Preferred Member’s Pro Rata Portion of 100.0000% of any New Securities, at the purchase price set forth in the Issuance Notice by delivering a written notice to the Company (an “Acceptance Notice”) specifying the number of New Securities such Preferred Member desires to purchase. The delivery of an Acceptance Notice by a Preferred Member shall be a binding and irrevocable offer by such Preferred Member to purchase the New Securities described therein. The failure of a Preferred Member to deliver an Acceptance Notice by the end of the Exercise Period shall constitute a waiver of such Preferred Member’s rights under this Section 9.01 with respect to the purchase of such New Securities, but shall not affect such Preferred Member’s rights with respect to any future issuances or sales of New Securities.
(d)Over-Allotment. No later than five (5) Business Days following the expiration of the Exercise Period, the Company shall notify each Preferred Member in writing of the number of New Securities that each Preferred Member has agreed to purchase (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where such number is zero) (the “Over-Allotment Notice”). Each Preferred Member exercising its rights to purchase such Preferred Member’s Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities in full (an “Exercising Member”) shall have a right of over-allotment such that if any other Preferred Member has failed to exercise its right under this Section 9.01 to purchase such other Member’s full Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities (each, a “Non-Exercising Member”), such Exercising Member may purchase such Exercising Member’s Pro Rata Portion of such Non-Exercising Member’s allotment by giving written notice to the Company within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Over-Allotment Notice (the “Over-Allotment Exercise Period”).
(e)Sales to the Prospective Purchaser. Following the expiration of the Exercise Period and, if applicable, the Over-Allotment Exercise Period, the Company shall be free to complete the proposed issuance or sale of New Securities described in the Issuance Notice with respect to which Members declined to exercise the preemptive right set forth in this Section 9.01 at a price that is no less than the applicable per Unit price set forth in the Issuance Notice and on other terms and conditions which are not materially less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Issuance Notice (except that the amount of New Securities to be issued or sold by the Company may be reduced); provided, that such issuance or sale is closed within forty (40) Business Days after the expiration of the Exercise Period and, if applicable, the Over-Allotment Exercise Period. In the event the Company has not sold such New Securities within such time period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first again offering such securities to the Members in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 9.01. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there shall be no liability on the part of the Company, the Board or any Manager or Member if the proposed issuance of New Securities is not consummated for whatever reason except on account of a material breach of this Section 9.01. For the avoidance of doubt, the determination of whether to affect an issuance of New Securities shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board.
(f)Closing of the Issuance. The closing of any purchase by any Preferred Member shall be consummated concurrently with the consummation of the issuance or sale described in the Issuance Notice. Upon the issuance or sale of any New Securities in

43


accordance with this Section 9.01, the Company shall deliver the New Securities free and clear of any Liens (other than those arising hereunder and those attributable to the actions of the purchasers thereof), and the Company shall so represent and warrant to the purchasers thereof, and further represent and warrant to such purchasers that such New Securities shall be, upon issuance thereof to the Exercising Members and after payment therefor, duly authorized and validly issued. Each Exercising Member shall deliver to the Company the purchase price for the New Securities purchased by it by certified or bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. Each party to the purchase and sale of New Securities shall take all such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the purchase and sale, including entering into such additional agreements as may be necessary or appropriate, as determined by the Board.
(g)Emergency Funding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company may comply with the provisions of this Section 9.01 by first selling to one or more Offerees some or all of the Units contemplated to be sold by the Company and promptly thereafter offering to sell to each Preferred Member the number of such Units such Preferred Member is entitled to purchase pursuant to this Section 9.01. In order to exercise its purchase rights under this Section 9.01(g), a Preferred Member must, within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of written notice from the Company describing in reasonable detail the securities or type of securities being offered, the purchase price thereof, the payment terms and the number of such securities such Preferred Member is eligible to purchase, deliver an irrevocable written notice to the Company setting forth the number of Units that such Preferred Member is electing to purchase (not to exceed its pro rata share). In the event that a Preferred Member elects to purchase Units pursuant to this Section 9.01(g), upon the written request of the Board (in its discretion), within thirty (30) days of such written request, the Offerees shall sell, and the offering of Units to the Offerees shall be conditioned on the Offerees agreeing to sell, to the Company the same number and class of Units acquired by the Offerees in connection with the offering that are purchased by such Preferred Members exercising their rights under this Section 9.01(g) for a price per Unit equal to the original cost thereof (plus any accrued and unpaid preferred yield thereon, if applicable).
ARTICLE X
Transfer
Section 10.01General Restrictions on Transfer. 
(a)Each Member acknowledges and agrees that, until the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, such Member (or any Permitted Transferee of such Member) shall not Transfer any Units or Unit Equivalents except as permitted in accordance with the terms and conditions herein, including those set forth in Section 4.06(a)(iv) and this ARTICLE X, as applicable; provided that all, but not less than all, Preferred Units held by the Preferred Members may be Transferred in one transaction or a series of related transactions only if:
(i)Transferred to the same Transferee (or its Affiliates) as part of the same transaction or series of related transactions, in which case (A) the Preferred

44


Members shall cause the recipient(s) of such Preferred Units to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and (B) if such recipient(s) are Competitors of Reorganized PublicCo only if first converted into Common Units; or
(ii)Transferred to more than one unaffiliated Transferees as part of the same transaction or series of related transactions, in which case (A) the Preferred Members shall cause the recipients of such Preferred Units to comply with the terms of this Agreement, (B) if such recipients are Competitors of Reorganized PublicCo only if first converted into Common Units, and (C) one transferee must continue to hold a sufficient number of Preferred Units so that such Transferee qualifies as the Preferred Requisite Member.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Preferred Member may Transfer less than all of the Preferred Units held by such Preferred Member in one transaction or a series of related transactions to Affiliates of such Preferred Member.

No Transfer of Units or Unit Equivalents to a Person not already a Member of the Company shall be deemed completed until the prospective Transferee is admitted as a Member of the Company in accordance with Section 4.01(b).

(b)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including Section 10.02), prior to the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, each Member agrees that such Member will not, directly or indirectly, Transfer any of such Member’s Units or Unit Equivalents, and the Company agrees that it shall not issue any Units or Unit Equivalents:
(i)except as permitted under the Securities Act and other applicable federal or state securities or blue sky laws, and then, with respect to a Transfer of Units or Unit Equivalents, if requested by the Company, only upon delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such Transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act;
(ii)if such Transfer or issuance would cause the Company to be considered a “publicly traded partnership” under Code Section 7704(b);
(iii)if such Transfer or issuance would affect the Company’s existence or qualification as a limited liability company under the Delaware Act;
(iv)if such Transfer or issuance would cause the Company to lose its status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes;
(v)if such Transfer or issuance would cause any Restricted Entity to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act; or
(vi)if such Transfer or issuance would cause the assets of any Restricted Entity to be deemed “Plan Assets” as defined under the Employee Retirement

45


Income Security Act of 1974 or its accompanying regulations or result in any “prohibited transaction” thereunder involving a Restricted Entity.
(c)Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Units or Unit Equivalents in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void, no such Transfer shall be recorded on the Company’s books, and the purported Transferee in any such Transfer shall not be treated (and the purported Transferor shall continue to be treated) as the owner of such Units or Unit Equivalents for all purposes of this Agreement.
(d)For the avoidance of doubt, any Transfer of Units or Unit Equivalents permitted by Section 10.02 or made in accordance with the procedures hereof, including those described in this ARTICLE X, as applicable, and purporting to be a sale, transfer, assignment, or other disposal of the entire Membership Interest represented by such Units or Unit Equivalents, inclusive of all the rights and benefits applicable to such Membership Interest as described in the definition of the term “Membership Interest,” shall be deemed a sale, transfer, assignment, or other disposal of such Membership Interest in its entirety as intended by the parties to such Transfer, and shall not be deemed a sale, transfer, assignment, or other disposal of any less than all of the rights and benefits described in the definition of the term “Membership Interest,” unless otherwise explicitly agreed to by the parties to such Transfer.
Section 10.02Permitted Transfers. The provisions of Section 10.01(a), Section 10.03, Section 10.05 and Section 10.06 shall not apply to (a) any Transfer by any Member of any such Member’s Units or Unit Equivalents to any Affiliate of such Member or (b) a financing contemplated by Section 3.07(d), as applicable.
Section 10.03Right of First Refusal. 
(a)Offered Units. At any time prior to the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, and subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Section 10.03, each Preferred Member shall have a right of first refusal if any Common Member (the “Offering Member”) receives a bona fide offer that the Offering Member desires to accept to Transfer all or any portion of such Offering Member’s Units (the “Offered Units”). Each time the Offering Member receives an offer for a Transfer of all or any portion of such Offering Member’s Units, the Offering Member shall first make an offering of the Offered Units to the Preferred Members (the “ROFR Rightholders”) in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 10.03 prior to Transferring such Offered Units (other than Transfers that (i) are permitted by Section 10.02 or (ii) are made by a Tag-Along Member upon the exercise of such Tag-Along Member’s participation right pursuant to Section 10.05 after the ROFR Rightholders have declined to exercise their rights in full under this Section 10.03).
(b)Offer Notice.
(i)The Offering Member shall, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Transfer offer, give written notice (the “Offering Member Notice”) to the Company and the ROFR Rightholders stating that such Offering Member has

46


received a bona fide offer for a Transfer of such Offering Member’s Units and specifying: (A) the amount of Offered Units to be Transferred by the Offering Member; (B) the name of the Person who has offered to purchase such Offered Units (including, to the extent known by the Offering Member after using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such information, all parties that, directly or indirectly, hold interests in such Person, unless such Person is a publicly traded company); (C) the purchase price and the other material terms and conditions of the Transfer, including a description of any non-cash consideration; and (D) the proposed date, time, and location of the closing of the Transfer, which shall not be less than sixty (60) days from the date of the Offering Member Notice.
(ii)The Offering Member Notice shall constitute the Offering Member’s offer to Transfer the Offered Units to the ROFR Rightholders, which offer shall be irrevocable until the end of the ROFR Notice Period.
(iii)By delivering the Offering Member Notice, the Offering Member represents and warrants to the Company and each ROFR Rightholder that: (A) the Offering Member has full right, title, and interest in and to the Offered Units; (B) the Offering Member has all necessary power and authority to sell such Offered Units as contemplated by this Section 10.03; and (C) the Offered Units are free and clear of any and all Liens other than those arising as a result of or under the terms of this Agreement.
(c)Exercise of the Rights of First Refusal.

Any ROFR Offer Notice shall be binding upon delivery and irrevocable by the applicable ROFR Rightholder. If more than one ROFR Rightholder delivers a ROFR Offer Notice, each such ROFR Rightholder (the “Purchasing Member”) shall be allocated such ROFR Rightholder’s pro rata share (based on such ROFR Rightholder’s Percentage Interest) of the Offered Units, unless otherwise agreed by such Members. If the ROFR Rightholders do not elect, in the aggregate, to purchase all of the Offered Units from the Offering Member, then the consummation of the Transfer to the Purchasing Member(s) will be deferred until the consummation of the Transfer of the remainder of the Offered Units to the purchaser stated in the Offering Member Notice.
(ii)Each ROFR Rightholder who does not deliver a ROFR Offer Notice during the ROFR Notice Period shall be deemed to have waived all of such ROFR Rightholder’s rights to purchase the Offered Units under this Section 10.03, and the Offering Member shall thereafter, subject to the rights of any Purchasing Member, be free to sell the Offered Units to the purchaser stated in the Offering Member

47


Notice without any further obligation to such ROFR Rightholder pursuant to this Section 10.03.
(d)Consummation of Sale. If no ROFR Rightholder delivers a ROFR Offer Notice in accordance with Section 10.03(b), then, provided the Offering Member has also complied with the provisions of Section 10.05, to the extent applicable, the Offering Member may, during the sixty (60)-day period immediately following the expiration of the ROFR Notice Period, Transfer all of the Offered Units to the purchaser stated in the Offering Member Notice at a per Unit price that is no greater than the applicable per Unit price set forth in the Offering Member Notice and on other terms and conditions which are not materially more favorable to the Offering Member than those set forth in the Offering Member Notice.

(e)Cooperation. Each Purchasing Member and the Offering Member shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the sale contemplated by this Section 10.03, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments and consents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the Offering Member to effectuate such sale and purchase.

(ii)Each Tag-Along Member may exercise such Tag-Along Member’s right to participate in a Tag-Along Sale by delivering to the Selling Member a written notice (a “Tag-Along Notice”) stating such Tag-Along Member’s election to do so and specifying the number and class of Units (up to such Tag-Along Member’s Tag-Along Portion) to be Transferred by such Tag-Along Member (which may be Common Units to be issued to such Tag-Along Member following the conversion of any such Tag-Along Member’s Preferred Units pursuant to Section 3.06) no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Sale Notice (the “Tag-Along Period”).

49

(ii)Each Tag-Along Member shall make or provide the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities, and agreements as the Selling Member makes or provides in connection with the Tag-Along Sale; provided, that each Tag-Along Member shall only be obligated to make individual representations and warranties with respect to such Tag-Along Member’s title to and ownership of such Tag-Along Member’s Units, authorization, execution, and delivery of relevant documents, enforceability of such documents against the Tag-Along Member, and other matters relating to such Tag-Along Member, but not with respect to any of the foregoing with respect to any other Members or their Units; provided, further, that all representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities shall be made by the Selling Member and each Tag-Along Member severally and not jointly and any indemnification obligation shall be pro rata based on the consideration received by the Selling Member and each Tag-Along Member, in each case in an amount not to exceed the aggregate proceeds received by the Selling Member and each such Tag-Along Member in connection with the Tag-Along Sale.

(h)Consummation of Sale. The Selling Member shall have sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Tag-Along Period in which to consummate the Tag-Along Sale, on terms and conditions which are not materially more favorable to the Selling Member than those set forth in the Sale Notice. If at the end of such period the Selling Member has not completed the Tag-Along Sale, the Selling Member may not then effect a Transfer that is subject to this Section 10.05 without again fully complying with the provisions of this Section 10.05.
(i)Transfers in Violation of Tag-Along Right. If the Selling Member sells or otherwise Transfers to a Proposed Transferee any of such Selling Member’s Units in breach of this Section 10.05, then each Tag-Along Member shall have the right to sell to the Selling Member, and the Selling Member undertakes to purchase from each Tag-Along Member, the number of Units that such Tag-Along Member would have had the right to sell to the Proposed Transferee pursuant to this Section 10.05, for a price and upon the terms and conditions on which the Proposed Transferee bought such Units from the Selling Member in the Tag-Along Sale; provided, that nothing contained in this Section 10.05(i) shall preclude any Tag-Along Member from seeking alternative remedies against such Selling Member as a result of such Selling Member’s breach of this Section 10.05, including under Section 3.08(a). The Selling Member shall also reimburse each Tag-Along Member for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of such Tag-Along Member’s rights under this Section 10.05(i).
Section 10.06Right of First Offer.
(a)A Preferred Member shall not offer or sell any Preferred Units to any Person other than the Restricted Entities except in compliance with the terms and conditions of Section 10.01, Section 10.02 and this Section 10.06.
(b)If the Preferred Members wish to Transfer Preferred Units (a “Restricted Transaction”), the Preferred Requisite Members (the “ROFO Offeror”) shall, without notifying any third party of the ROFO Offeror’s interest in the Restricted Transaction, provide written notice to Reorganized PublicCo of its offer to enter into such a transaction (the “Offer Notice”) and the material financial and other terms and conditions of such offer (the “Material Terms”). Each Offer Notice constitutes an offer made by the ROFO Offeror to enter into an agreement with Reorganized PublicCo in accordance with the Material Terms (“ROFO Offer”).
(c)At any time prior to the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period following Reorganized PublicCo’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “ROFO Exercise Period”), Reorganized PublicCo may accept the ROFO Offer by delivery to the ROFO Offeror of a written notice of acceptance containing the Material Terms.

51


(d)If Reorganized PublicCo has not accepted the ROFO Offer and the ROFO Offeror has complied with all of the provisions of Section 10.01, Section 10.02 and this Section 10.06, at any time following the expiration of the ROFO Exercise Period, the ROFO Offeror may consummate the Restricted Transaction with one or more third parties on Material Terms that are the same or more favorable to the ROFO Offeror as the Material Terms set forth in the Offer Notice. The ROFO Offeror shall cause any Transferees of such Units to comply with the terms of this Agreement applicable to such Units.

(a)Appointment. The Members hereby appoint Reorganized PublicCo as the “partnership representative” as provided in Code Section 6223(a) (the “Partnership Representative”).

The Company shall be bound by the actions taken by the Partnership Representative. The Board shall notify the Preferred Members of any pending or threatened tax audit, examination, action or similar proceeding with respect to the Company (a “Tax Contest”) and provide the Preferred Members with reasonably detailed accounts and updates regarding any such Tax Contest.

(c)US Federal Tax Proceedings. In the event of an audit of the Company that is subject to the partnership audit procedures set forth in the Revised Partnership Audit Rules, the Partnership Representative, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to make any and all elections and to take any actions that are available to be made or taken by the Partnership Representative or the Company under the Revised Partnership Audit Rules

53


(including any election under Code Section 6226), subject to approval by the Board. If an election under Code Section 6226(a) is made, the Company shall furnish to each Member for the year under audit a statement of the Member’s share of any adjustment set forth in the notice of final partnership adjustment, and each Member shall take such adjustment into account as required under Code Section 6226(b). To the extent that the Partnership Representative does not make an election under Code Section 6221(b) or Code Section 6226, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make any modifications available under Code Section 6225(c)(3), (4), and (5), to the extent such modification would reduce any taxes payable by the Company. Each Member agrees to cooperate with the Partnership Representative and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably requested by the Partnership Representative with respect to the conduct of examinations under the Revised Partnership Audit Rules; provided, that a Member shall not be required to file an amended federal income tax return, as described in Code Section 6225(c)(2)(A).
(d)Tax Returns and Tax Deficiencies. Each Member agrees that such Member shall not treat any Company item inconsistently on such Member’s federal, state, foreign, or other income tax return with the treatment of the item on the Company’s return. Any deficiency for taxes imposed on any Member (including penalties, additions to tax, or interest imposed with respect to such taxes and any tax deficiency imposed pursuant to Code Section 6226) will be paid by such Member and if required to be paid (and actually paid) by the Company, will be recoverable from such Member.
(e)Expenses. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Partnership Representative or the Designated Individual in carrying out their responsibilities and duties in such capacities under this Agreement shall be an expense of the Company for which the Partnership Representative or the Designated Individual, as applicable, shall be reimbursed by the Company.
(f)Survival. The provisions of this Section 11.04 and the obligations of a Member or former Member pursuant to Section 11.04 shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation, and winding up of the Company or the Transfer of such Member’s Units or Unit Equivalents.
Section 11.05Tax Returns.
(a)The Company shall engage a “Big 4” accounting firm, or BDO, Grant Thornton, or RSM, to assist in the preparation and filing of all tax returns required to be filed by the Company, and the Company shall not engage another accounting firm in such capacity without the prior written consent of Reorganized PrivateCo, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Reorganized PrivateCo shall be afforded reasonable opportunity to review drafts of U.S. federal income tax returns of the Company and the Company shall reasonably consult with the Reorganized PrivateCo with respect to any comments thereto.
(b)The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide each Person who was a Member at any time during such Fiscal Year draft IRS Schedule K-1s (or similar information statements with estimated tax reporting information) for such Fiscal

54


Year, within ninety (90) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, provided that the Company shall deliver such drafts no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each Fiscal Year. The Company shall deliver final IRS Schedule K-1s to any such Members as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.
Section 11.06Company Funds. All funds of the Company shall be deposited in its name in such federally insured checking, savings, or other bank accounts, or held in its name in the form of such other investments as shall be designated by the Board.

ARTICLE XII
Dissolution and Liquidation
Section 12.01Events of Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up only upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
(a)The determination of the Board to dissolve the Company, subject to Section 4.06(a);
(b)An election to dissolve the Company made by the Common Requisite Members and the Preferred Requisite Members;
(c)The sale, exchange, involuntary conversion, or other disposition or transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company; or
(d)The entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act.
Section 12.02Effectiveness of Dissolution. Dissolution of the Company shall be effective on the day on which the event described in Section 12.01 occurs, but the Company shall not terminate until the winding up of the Company has been completed, the assets of the Company have been Distributed as provided in Section 12.03, and the Certificate of Formation shall have been canceled as provided in Section 12.04.
Section 12.03Liquidation. If the Company is dissolved pursuant to Section 12.01, the Company shall be liquidated and its business and affairs wound up in accordance with the Delaware Act and the following provisions:
(a)Liquidator. The Board, or, if the Board is unable to do so, a Person selected by the Common Requisite Members and the Preferred Requisite Members, shall act as liquidator to wind up the Company (the “Liquidator”). The Liquidator shall have full power and authority to sell, assign, and encumber any or all of the Company’s assets and to wind up and liquidate the affairs of the Company in an orderly and business-like manner.
(b)Accounting. As promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the Liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm

55


of certified public accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable.
(c)Distribution of Proceeds. The Liquidator shall liquidate the assets of the Company and Distribute the proceeds of such liquidation in the following order of priority, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of Applicable Law:
(i)First, to the payment of all of the Company’s debts and liabilities to its creditors (including Members, if applicable) and the expenses of liquidation (including sales commissions incident to any sales of assets of the Company);
(ii)Second, to the establishment of and additions to reserves that are determined by the Liquidator to be reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company;
(iii)Third, pro rata among the Preferred Members, until Distributions to the Preferred Members under this Section 12.03(c)(iii) equal the aggregate Liquidation Preference in respect of all the Preferred Units held by the Preferred Members as of the time of such Distribution;
(iv)Fourth, to the Common Members pro rata in proportion to their aggregate holdings of Common Units.
(d)Discretion of Liquidator. Notwithstanding Section 7.04 or the provisions of Section 12.03(c) that require the liquidation of the assets of the Company, but subject to the order of priorities set forth in Section 12.03(c), if upon dissolution of the Company the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Company’s assets would be impractical or could cause undue loss to the Members, the Liquidator may defer the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy Company liabilities and reserves, and may, in its absolute discretion, Distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.03(c), undivided interests in such Company assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such Distribution in kind shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator, acting in good faith, deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operating of such properties at such time. For purposes of any such Distribution, any property to be Distributed shall be valued at its Fair Market Value, as determined by the Liquidator in good faith.
(e)Maintenance of Records. All documents and records of the Company, including financial records, shall be delivered to Reorganized PublicCo upon dissolution of the Company. Reorganized PublicCo shall retain such documents and records for a period of not less than seven (7) years and shall make such documents and records reasonably available during normal business hours to the other Members and their Affiliates for inspection and copying; provided that such access does not unduly interfere with the management and business of Reorganized PublicCo.
Section 12.04Liquidation Preference.

56


(a)The Preferred Units shall be entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the greater of (i) the Aggregate Purchase Price, plus declared but unpaid Distributions, and (ii) the amount that would be received in the relevant Liquidation Event on an as-converted basis (the greater of (i) and (ii), the “Liquidation Preference”).
(b)The Liquidation Preference shall be due upon (i) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Company or (ii) a consolidation or merger of the Company with another entity, a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company, or a sale, license, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (each such event set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of this clause (b), a “Liquidation Event”). “Change of Control” shall mean any transaction pursuant to or as a result of which a single party (or group of affiliated parties) directly or indirectly acquires or holds equity interests of the Company or Reorganized PublicCo representing a majority of such entity’s outstanding voting power or economic interests (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding Reorganized PublicCo’s majority equity interest in the Company).
Section 12.05Cancellation of Certificate. Upon completion of the Distribution of the assets of the Company as provided in Section 12.03(c), the Company shall be terminated and the Liquidator shall cause the cancellation of the Certificate of Formation in the State of Delaware and of all qualifications and registrations of the Company as a foreign limited liability company in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company.
Section 12.06Survival of Rights, Duties, and Obligations. Dissolution, liquidation, winding up, or termination of the Company for any reason shall not release any party from any Loss which at the time of such dissolution, liquidation, winding up, or termination already had accrued to any other party or which thereafter may accrue in respect of any act or omission prior to such dissolution, liquidation, winding up, or termination. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the foregoing shall replace, diminish, or otherwise adversely affect any Member’s right to indemnification pursuant to Section 13.02. The provisions of Section 12.03(e) shall survive the dissolution, liquidation, winding up, and termination of the Company in accordance with their terms.
Section 12.07Recourse for Claims. Each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for all Distributions with respect to the Company, such Member’s Capital Account, and such Member’s share of Net Income, Net Loss, and other items of income, gain, loss, and deduction, and shall have no recourse therefor (upon dissolution or otherwise) against any Manager, the Liquidator, or any other Member.
ARTICLE XIII
Exculpation and Indemnification
Section 13.01Standard of Care; Duties; Reliance On Information.
(a)Standard of Care. No Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any other Covered Person for any loss, damage, or claim incurred by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Covered Person in its capacity as a Covered Person,

57


whether or not such Person continues to be a Covered Person at the time such loss, damage, or claim is incurred or imposed, so long as such action or omission does not constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, in each case as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b)Waiver of Manager and Officer Duties. Each Member hereby acknowledges the elimination of any and all fiduciary duties of the Board, each Officer and each Manager and hereby waives any right to make a claim or demand or bring a suit or action, and hereby agrees not to make any claim or demand or bring any suit or action, against the Board, any Officer or any Manager that such Member may have been entitled to make or bring if such fiduciary duties were not so eliminated.
(c)Member Duties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duty on any Member or its Affiliates; (ii) each of the Members and the Company hereby waives any and all fiduciary duties that, absent such waiver, may be implied by Applicable Law, and in doing so, acknowledges and agrees that the duties and obligations of each Member to each other and to the Company are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iii) the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Member otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Member; and (iv) whenever in this Agreement a Member is permitted or required to make a decision (including a decision that is in such Member’s “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude), such Member shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as such Member desires, including such Member’s own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or any other Person; and (v) whenever in this Agreement a Member is permitted or required to make a decision in such Member’s “good faith,” such Member shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Agreement or any other Applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, references in this Section 13.01(c) to a Member are to a Member in its capacity as such.
(d)Reliance on Information. A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of Reorganized PublicCo and its controlled Affiliates and upon such information, opinions, reports, or statements (including financial statements and information, opinions, reports, or statements as to the value or amount of the assets, liabilities, Net Income, or Net Losses of the Restricted Entities, or any facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which Distributions might properly be paid) of the following Persons or groups: (i) a Manager; (ii) one or more Officers or employees of Reorganized PublicCo and its controlled Affiliates; (iii) any attorney, independent accountant, appraiser, or other expert or professional employed or engaged by or on behalf of Reorganized PublicCo and its controlled Affiliates; or (iv) any other Person selected in good faith by or on behalf of Reorganized PublicCo and its controlled Affiliates, in each case as to matters that such relying Person reasonably believes to be within such other Person’s professional or expert competence. The preceding sentence shall in no way limit any Person’s right to rely on information to the extent provided in Section 18-406 of the Delaware Act.

58


Section 13.02Indemnification.
(a)To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Act, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, substituted, or replaced (but, in the case of any such amendment, substitution, or replacement only to the extent that such amendment, substitution, or replacement permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than the Delaware Act permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment, substitution, or replacement), the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless, defend, pay, and reimburse any Covered Person from and against any and all losses, claims (including any third-party or governmental claims), damages, judgments, fines, taxes, penalties or liabilities, including reasonable legal fees or other costs and expenses incurred in investigating or defending against such losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines, or liabilities, and any amounts expended in settlement of any claims, as the same are incurred, of any kind or nature whatsoever (whether or not arising out of third party third-party claims and including all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of the foregoing) which may be sustained or suffered by any such Covered Person (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Covered Person may become subject, based upon, arising out of, or by reason of:
(i)any act or omission or alleged act or omission performed or omitted to be performed on behalf of the Company in connection with the business of the Company;
(ii)the fact that such Covered Person is or was acting in connection with the business of the Company as a manager, officer, employee, or agent of the Company or that such Covered Person is or was serving at the request of the Company as a manager, director, officer, employee, or agent of any other Person, including any Restricted Entity; or
(iii)relating in any way to such Covered Person’s status as an equity holder or otherwise relating to such Covered Person’s investment in the Company (including any and all Losses under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law, at common law or otherwise, which relate directly or indirectly to the registration, purchase, sale or ownership of any securities of the Company or to any fiduciary obligation owed with respect thereto);

provided, that such Covered Person’s conduct did not constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, in each case as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. In connection with the foregoing, the termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Covered Person’s conduct constituted fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b)Advancement. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by a Covered Person in connection with investigating, preparing to defend, or defending any claim relating to any Losses for which such Covered Person may be entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 13.02(a)

59


shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to a final, non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction that, in respect of such matter, such Covered Person is not entitled to indemnification for such Losses; provided, however, that the Covered Person shall have provided to the Company (i) written affirmation of such Covered Person’s good faith belief that such Covered Person has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification for such Losses under Section 13.02(a); and (ii) an undertaking to repay all such advanced amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to such indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to advance expenses incurred by a Covered Person in connection with a claim initiated against such Covered Person by the Company.
(c)Entitlement to Indemnity. The indemnification provided by this Section 13.02 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 13.02 shall continue to afford protection to each Covered Person regardless of whether such Covered Person remains in the position or capacity pursuant to which such Covered Person became entitled to indemnification under this Section 13.02 and shall inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, legatees, and distributees of such Covered Person.
(d)Insurance. To the extent available on commercially reasonable terms, the Company shall purchase and thereafter maintain, at its expense, insurance to cover Losses covered by the foregoing indemnification provisions and to otherwise cover Losses for any breach or alleged breach by any Covered Person of such Covered Person’s duties in such amount and with such deductibles as the Board may determine; provided, that (i) all Preferred Members shall be treated equally under any such insurance policies, and (ii) the failure to obtain such insurance shall not affect the right to indemnification of any Covered Person under the indemnification provisions contained herein, including the right to be reimbursed or advanced expenses or otherwise indemnified for Losses hereunder. If any Covered Person recovers any amounts in respect of any Losses from any insurance coverage, then such Covered Person shall, to the extent that such recovery is duplicative, reimburse the Company or any Company Subsidiary for any amounts previously paid to such Covered Person by the Company or any Company Subsidiary in respect of such Losses.
(e)Funding of Indemnification Obligation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any indemnity by the Company relating to the matters covered in this Section 13.02 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and no Member (unless such Member otherwise agrees in writing) shall have personal liability on account thereof or shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to help satisfy such indemnity by the Company.
(f)Primacy of Indemnification. The Company hereby acknowledges that the Preferred Members, their Affiliates and their partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, and other representatives (the “Specified Indemnified Persons”) may have rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by a Member or its Affiliate (directly or by insurance provided by such Person) (collectively, the “Member

60


Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees that it is the indemnitor of first resort of the Specified Indemnified Persons with respect to matters for which indemnification is provided to them under this Agreement and that the Company will be obligated to make all payments due to or for the benefit of a Specified Indemnified Person to the extent required under this Agreement without regard to any rights that such Specified Indemnified Person may have against a Member Indemnitor. The Company hereby waives and releases any and all equitable and other rights or claims to contribution, subrogation, or indemnification from or against the Member Indemnitors in respect of any amounts paid to a Specified Indemnified Person hereunder. The Company further agrees that no payment of Losses or expenses by any Member Indemnitor to or for the benefit of a Specified Indemnified Person shall affect the obligations of the Company hereunder, and that the Company shall be obligated to repay the Member Indemnitors for all amounts so paid or reimbursed to the extent that the Company has an obligation to indemnify a Specified Indemnified Person for such Losses or expenses hereunder. The Member Indemnitors are third-party beneficiaries of and shall have the power and authority to enforce the provisions of this Section 13.02(f).
(g)Savings Clause. If this Section 13.02 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person pursuant to this Section 13.02 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 13.02 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.
(h)Amendment. The provisions of this Section 13.02 shall be a contract between the Company, on the one hand, and each Covered Person who served in such capacity at any time while this Section 13.02 is in effect, on the other hand, pursuant to which the Company and each such Covered Person intend to be legally bound. No amendment, modification, or repeal of this Section 13.02 that adversely affects the rights of a Covered Person to indemnification for Losses incurred or relating to a state of facts existing prior to such amendment, modification, or repeal shall apply in such a way as to eliminate or reduce such Covered Person’s entitlement to indemnification for such Losses without the Covered Person’s prior written consent.
Section 13.03Survival. The provisions of this ARTICLE XIII shall survive the dissolution, liquidation, winding up, and termination of the Company.
ARTICLE XIV
Miscellaneous
Section 14.01Confidentiality. Each Member shall, and shall cause each of such Member’s Affiliates to, maintain, at all times (including after any time that such Member ceases to be a Member), the confidentiality of all information furnished to such Member pertaining to the Company or its Affiliates (“Confidential Information”), other than information that such Member can demonstrate (a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such Member or such Member’s Affiliates or Representatives; (b) becomes available to such Member on a non-confidential basis from a third party who is not prohibited by any obligation of confidentiality owed to the Company or its Affiliates from transmitting the

61

Section 14.15Equitable Remedies. Each party hereto acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of such party’s obligations under this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm to the other parties, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such party of any such obligations, each of the other parties hereto shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to them in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).

(b)All uses of the Capstone Trademarks by Licensee shall include the designation “®”, to the extent legally required or reasonably necessary for the enforcement of Trademark rights or as specifically directed otherwise by Licensor in writing.

Licensee recognizes that Licensor would suffer irreparable injury by such unauthorized use and agrees that injunctive and other equitable relief is appropriate in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Licensee.

Section 6.2Indemnity Procedure.

CAPSTONE GREEN ENERGY CORPORATION

RECEIVES COURT APPROVAL OF JOINT PREPACKAGED PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - PAVING THE WAY FOR EMERGENCE

LOS ANGELES, CA / BUSINESS WIRE / NOVEMBER 14, 2023 / Capstone Green Energy Corporation (OTC: CGRNQ) (the “Company” or “Capstone”) announced today that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) has confirmed the Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Capstone Green Energy Corporation and its Debtor Affiliates (the “Plan”), paving the way for the Company’s business to emerge from chapter 11 on stronger financial footing.

Under the Plan, the Capstone business will emerge from bankruptcy within the next several weeks with a substantially strengthened capital structure and improved liquidity, helping to ensure it is best equipped to continue to execute its strategy and further enhance its market leadership as a microgrid solutions and on-site energy technology systems provider. The Plan contemplates $7.0 million of new money exit financing, an increase from the originally contemplated $5.0 million of new money exit financing.  

“Today’s Plan confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court represents an important milestone for the Company. We are one step closer to achieving our goal of long-term financial stability. Notably, the Plan provides that the Company’s public stockholders will receive their pro rata share of one hundred percent (100%) of the equity in Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc., which will hold a majority interest in a new entity that will operate the Company’s business, subject to dilution from equity incentive compensation pursuant to equity incentive plans. We thank our investors, distributors, suppliers and employees for their support throughout this process, and we are excited to continue building energy-saving and cost-efficient products for our customers,” stated Robert Flexon, Executive Chairman and Interim President and CEO. Mr. Flexon continued, “Capstone will emerge better positioned to advance our strategic priorities, continue to innovate and pursue new growth opportunities.”

Additional Information
