ARTICLE VI
6.1 Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. All executory contracts and
unexpired leases shall be deemed rejected by the Debtors unless: (a) expressly assumed by a
Debtor with Bankruptcy Court approval on or before the Effective Date of the Plan; (b) subject
to a motion to assume pending on the Effective Date of the Plan; or (c) identified on a list to be
filed with the Bankruptcy Court, on or before the Effective Date of the Plan, as to be assumed;
provided, however, that in the event that after the Confirmation Date, a party to an alleged
executory contract or unexpired lease of a Debtor contends that such contract or lease was
deemed rejected by operation of this Section 6.1, the Debtors (i) shall have the right to dispute
such contention and to seek a Bankruptcy Court order regarding whether such contract or lease
was executory or unexpired and (ii) shall have the right to assume such lease or contract if it is

claim with respect to Claims under an executory contract or unexpired lease that has been

To the extent that the Debtor is a party to any executory contract that is deemed an illegal
contract, such illegal contract shall be deemed rejected as of the Confirmation Date, and the
other party to such contract shall not be entitled to any Claim arising therefrom against a Debtor
or a Reorganized Debtor.

Plan Proponent and the Bankruptcy Court, and may seek Bankruptcy Court estimation of

employee benefit plan and program. On and after the Effective Date of the Plan, pursuant to
Section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Debtors will continue to pay any
retiree benefits, as that term is defined in Section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code, at the level
established pursuant to subsection (e)(1) or (g) of Section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code, at any
time prior to confirmation of this Plan, for the duration of the period each Debtor has obligated
itself to provide such benefits. The Debtors do not believe that they are obligated to pay any
retiree benefits.

distributions on account of Disputed Claims shall be held by the Reorganized Debtor pending
resolution of such dispute.
8.1(d) No Waiver or Release: Nothing in this Plan, the Confirmation Order or any

8.2 Resolution of Contingent Claims and Unliquidated Claims. The Debtors, the
Reorganized Debtors, the Plan Proponent, the Committee and the Post-Confirmation Committee
shall have the right to make and file motions to estimate contingent Claims and unliquidated
Claims and shall serve a copy of each objection upon the Holder of the such Claims to which the
estimation is sought. The applicable Debtor or the applicable Reorganized Debtor shall further
have the right to compromise such claims. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, no
8.3 Preservation of Rights of Action. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, prior
order of the Bankruptcy Court or the Confirmation Order, or in any contract, instrument, release,
indenture or other agreement entered into in connection with the Plan, in accordance with
Section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Debtors, the Plan Proponent and the
Post-Confirmation Committee shall retain and may enforce, sue on, settle, or compromise (or

discounts or similar claims that the Debtors or the Estates may hold against any Entity.
