The Equity Rights Offering will be backstopped, severally and not jointly, by the Equity Commitment Parties pursuant to the Backstop Commitment Agreement. 30% of the New Common Stock to be sold and issued pursuant to the Equity Rights Offering shall be reserved for the Equity Commitment Parties (the "Reserved Shares") pursuant to the Backstop Commitment Agreement, at the ERO Price Per Share.

56
Pursuant to the Backstop Commitment Agreement, if after following the procedures set forth in the Equity Rights Offering Procedures, there remain any unexercised Equity Subscription Rights, the Equity Commitment Parties shall purchase, severally and not jointly, their applicable portion of the New Common Stock associated with such unexercised Equity Subscription Rights in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Backstop Commitment Agreement, at the ERO Price Per Share.

All shares of New Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Equity Commitment Parties' own Equity Subscription Rights and in connection with the Backstop Commitment Premium will be issued in reliance upon Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent permitted under applicable law. The Reserved Shares and the shares of New Common Stock that are not subscribed for by holders of Equity Subscription Rights in the Equity Rights Offering and that are purchased by the Equity Commitment Parties in accordance with their backstop obligations under the Backstop Commitment Agreement (the "Unsubscribed Shares") will be issued in a private placement exempt from registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D thereunder and will constitute "restricted securities" for purposes of the Securities Act. In the Backstop Commitment Agreement, the Equity Commitment Parties will be required to make representations and warranties as to their sophistication and suitability to participate in the private placement.
Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute Bankruptcy Court approval of the Equity Rights Offering (including the transactions contemplated thereby, and all actions to be undertaken, undertakings to be made, and obligations to be incurred by Reorganized Holdings in connection therewith). On the Effective Date, as provided in the Description of Transaction Steps, the rights and obligations of the Debtors under the Backstop Commitment Agreement shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable.
At the Aggregate Rights Offering Amount, the shares of New Common Stock offered pursuant to the Equity Rights Offering (for the avoidance of doubt, not including any shares of New Common Stock issued in connection with the Backstop Commitment Premium) will represent approximately 60.6% of the New Common Stock outstanding on the Effective Date (subject to a downward ratable adjustment to account for the difference (if any) between the Aggregate Rights Offering Amount and the Adjusted Aggregate Right Offerings Amount), subject to dilution by the issuance of shares of New Common Stock (a) reserved for the MIP Awards and (b) on account of the exercise of the New Warrants.
On the Effective Date (or earlier in the case of termination of the Backstop Commitment Agreement), the Backstop Commitment Premium (which shall be an administrative expense) shall be distributed or paid to the Equity Commitment Parties under and as set forth in the Backstop Commitment Agreement and the Backstop Order. The shares of New Common Stock issued in satisfaction of the Backstop Commitment Premium will represent approximately 7.6% of the New Common Stock outstanding on the Effective Date, subject to dilution by the issuance of shares of New Common Stock (a) reserved for the MIP Awards and (b) on account of the exercise of the New Warrants.
57

On and as of the Effective Date, consistent with applicable law, the Indemnification Provisions in place as of the Effective Date (whether in the bylaws, certificates of incorporation or formation, limited liability company agreements, other organized documents, board resolutions, indemnification agreements, employment contracts, or otherwise) for current and former directors, officers, managers, employees, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, and other professionals of the Debtors, as applicable, shall be assumed by the Reorganized Debtors (and any such Indemnification Provisions in place as to any Debtors that are to be liquidated under the Plan shall be assigned to and assumed by an applicable Reorganized Debtor), deemed irrevocable, and will remain in full force and effect and survive the effectiveness of the Plan unimpaired and unaffected, and each of the Reorganized Debtors' New Organizational Documents will provide for the indemnification, defense, reimbursement, exculpation, and/or limitation of liability of, and advancement of fees and expenses to the Debtors' and the Reorganized Debtors' current and former directors, officers, employees, agents, managers, attorneys, and other professionals, at least to the same extent as such documents of each of the respective Debtors on the Petition Date but in no event greater than as permitted by law, against any Causes of Action. None of the Reorganized Debtors shall amend and/or restate its respective New Organizational Documents, on or after the Effective Date to terminate, reduce, discharge, impair or adversely affect in any way (1) any of the Reorganized Debtors' obligations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence or (2) the rights of such current and former directors, officers, employees, agents, managers, attorneys, and other professionals.

Q.
Preservation of Causes of Action
In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Debtors shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue, any and all Retained Causes of Action (except, if the GUC Trust is established in accordance with the Plan, the GUC Trust may enforce all rights to commence and pursue Retained Preference Actions), whether arising before or after the Petition Date, including but not limited to any actions specifically enumerated in the Plan Supplement, and the Reorganized Debtors' rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such Retained Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date. If the GUC Trust is established in accordance with the Plan, the GUC Trust (on its own behalf and, if the PI Settlement Fund is established in accordance with the Plan, as agent for the PI Settlement Fund) shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue any Retained Preference Actions, and the GUC Trust's rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such Retained Preference Actions shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the preservation of Retained Causes of Action described in the preceding sentence includes, but is not limited to, the Reorganized Debtors' retention of the Debtors' rights to (1) object to Administrative Claims, (2) object to other Claims, and (3) subordinate Claims, other than the Causes of Action released by the Debtors pursuant to the releases and exculpations contained in the Plan, including in Article X of the Plan, which shall be deemed released and waived by the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors as of the Effective Date.
67
The Reorganized Debtors may pursue such Retained Causes of Action, as appropriate, in accordance with the best interests of the Reorganized Debtors, in their respective discretion. The GUC Trust, if established, may pursue Retained Preference Actions and objections to General Unsecured Claims in accordance with the best interests of the GUC Trust and the PI Settlement Fund. No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure Statement to any Cause of Action against them as any indication that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (or, with respect to Retained Preference Actions, the GUC Trust) will not pursue any and all available Retained Causes of Action. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Retained Causes of Action against any Entity. The GUC Trust expressly reserves all rights to prosecute any and all Retained Preference Actions in accordance with the Plan. The Reorganized Debtors and, solely with respect to Retained Preference Actions and the allowance or disallowance of General Unsecured Claims, the GUC Trust, as applicable, expressly reserve all and shall retain the applicable Retained Causes of Action, for later adjudication or settlement, 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 Retained Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or Consummation.
The applicable Reorganized Debtor, through its authorized agents or representatives, shall retain and may exclusively enforce any and all Retained 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 Retained Causes of Action except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan and to decline to do any of the foregoing without the consent or approval of any third party or further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

The GUC Administrator, the PI Claims Administrator, and their respective counsel shall be selected by the Creditors' Committee and disclosed in the Plan Supplement prior to commencement of the Confirmation Hearing. The identity of the GUC Administrator, the PI Claims Administrator, and their respective counsel, and the terms of their compensation shall be reasonably acceptable to the Debtors and the Required Consenting BrandCo Lenders. In furtherance of and consistent with the purpose of the GUC Trust or PI Settlement Fund, as applicable, and the Plan, the GUC Administrator and/or PI Claims Administrator, as applicable, shall: (1) have the power and authority to perform all functions on behalf of the GUC Trust or PI Settlement Fund, as applicable; (2) undertake, with the cooperation of the Reorganized Debtors, all administrative responsibilities that are provided in the Plan and the GUC Trust Agreement or PI Settlement Fund Agreement, as applicable, including filing the applicable operating reports and administering the closure of the Chapter 11 Cases, which reports shall be delivered to the Reorganized Debtors; (3) be responsible for all decisions and duties with respect to the GUC Trust or PI Settlement Fund, as applicable, and the GUC Trust Assets and the PI Settlement Fund Assets, as applicable; (4) allocate the GUC Trust/PI Fund Operating Reserve between the GUC Trust and the PI Settlement Fund, and administer such funds in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the GUC Trust Agreement, and the PI Settlement Fund Agreement; and (5) in all circumstances and at all times, act in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit and in the best interests of the beneficiaries of the GUC Trust or PI Settlement Fund Agreement, as applicable, in furtherance of the purpose of the GUC Trust and PI Settlement Fund Agreement and in accordance with the Plan and the GUC Trust Agreement or PI Settlement Fund Agreement, as applicable.

S.
Restructuring Expenses
The Restructuring Expenses incurred, or estimated to be incurred, up to and including the Effective Date shall be paid in full in Cash on the Effective Date (to the extent not previously paid during the course of the Chapter 11 Cases on the dates on which such amounts would be required to be paid under the Term DIP Credit Agreement, the DIP Orders, or the Restructuring Support Agreement) without the requirement to file a fee application with the Bankruptcy Court, without the need for time detail, and without any requirement for review or approval by the Bankruptcy Court or any other party. All Restructuring Expenses to be paid on the Effective Date shall be estimated prior to and as of the Effective Date and such estimates shall be delivered to the Debtors at least two (2) Business Days before the anticipated Effective Date; provided that such estimates shall not be considered to be admissions or limitations with respect to such Restructuring Expenses. In addition, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors (as applicable) shall continue to pay, when due, pre- and post-Effective Date Restructuring Expenses, whether incurred before, on or after the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the payment of the fees and expenses of the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article IV.S of the Plan shall be deemed to be part of the treatment of Class 8 and not by reason of the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee's membership on the Committee.
ARTICLE V.

THE GUC TRUST

A.
Establishment of the GUC Trust
On the Effective Date, solely in the event that any Class of General Unsecured Claims votes to accept the Plan and the Creditors' Committee Settlement Conditions are satisfied, the GUC Trust shall be established in accordance with the terms of the GUC Trust Agreement and the Plan. The GUC Trust Agreement shall be (a) drafted by the Creditors' Committee and (b) in substantially the form included in the Plan Supplement.
The GUC Trust shall be established to liquidate the GUC Trust Assets and make distributions in accordance with the Plan, Confirmation Order, and GUC Trust Agreement, and in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(d), with no objective to continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business, except to the extent reasonably necessary to, and consistent with, the liquidating purpose of the GUC Trust. The GUC Trust shall be structured to qualify as a "liquidating trust" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(d) and in compliance with Revenue Procedure 94-45, and thus, as a "grantor trust" within the meaning of Sections 671 through 679 of the Tax Code. Accordingly, the GUC Trust Beneficiaries shall be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes (1) as direct recipients of undivided interests in the GUC Trust Assets (other than to the extent the GUC Trust Assets are allocable to Disputed Claims) and as having immediately contributed such assets to the GUC Trust, and (2) thereafter, as the grantors and deemed owners of the GUC Trust and thus, the direct owners of an undivided interest in the GUC Trust Assets (other than such GUC Trust Assets that are allocable to Disputed Claims).

The identity of the GUC Administrator shall be disclosed in the Plan Supplement prior to entry of the Confirmation Order on the docket of the Chapter 11 Cases.

Certain Tax Matters
The GUC Administrator shall file tax returns for the GUC Trust as a grantor trust pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.671-4(a) and in accordance with the Plan. The GUC Trust's items of taxable income, gain, loss, deduction, and/or credit (other than such items is respect of any assets allocable to, or retained on account of, Disputed Claims) will be allocated to each holder in accordance with their relative ownership of GUC Trust Interests.
As soon as possible after the Effective Date, the GUC Administrator shall make a good faith valuation of the GUC Trust Assets and such valuation shall be used consistently by all parties for all U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The GUC Administrator may request an expedited determination of taxes under section 505(b) of the Bankruptcy Code for all tax returns filed by or on behalf of the GUC Trust for all taxable periods through the dissolution thereof. Nothing in this Article V.C shall be deemed to determine, expand, or contract the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court under section 505 of the Bankruptcy Code.
The GUC Administrator (1) may timely elect to treat any GUC Trust Assets allocable to Disputed Claims as a "disputed ownership fund" governed by Treasury Regulations Section 1.468B-9, and (2) to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall report consistently for state and local income tax purposes. If a "disputed ownership fund" election is made, all parties (including the GUC Administrator and the holders of GUC Trust Interests) shall report for U.S. federal, state, and local income tax purposes consistently with the foregoing. The GUC Administrator shall file all income tax returns with respect to any income attributable to a "disputed ownership fund" and shall pay the U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes attributable to such disputed ownership fund based on the items of income, deduction, credit, or loss allocable thereto. The Reorganized Debtors and the GUC Administrator shall cooperate to ensure that any distributions made in respect of Claims that are in the nature of compensation for services (including the Non-Qualified Pension Claims) ("Wage Distributions") are processed through appropriate payroll processing systems or arrangements and are subject to appropriate payroll tax withholding and reporting, and that any applicable payroll taxes associated therewith are properly remitted to taxing authorities. The Reorganized Debtors and the GUC Trust shall, if so requested by the GUC Trust, cooperate in good faith to agree to such procedures so as to permit such Wage Distributions to be processed through the Reorganized Debtors' payroll processing systems (which may, for the avoidance of doubt, be administered by a third party). The employer portion of any payroll taxes applicable to Wage Distributions shall be solely borne by the Reorganized Debtors; neither the GUC Trust nor the GUC Trust/PI Fund Operating Reserve shall bear any liability for the employer portion of any payroll taxes applicable to Wage Distributions.

The Bankruptcy Court shall have continuing jurisdiction over the PI Settlement Fund.

B.
The PI Claims Distribution Procedures
The PI Claims Distribution Procedures shall be established solely to implement the Plan and Plan Settlement.

Likewise, no decision of the PI Claims Administrator or the TAC (as defined in the PI Settlement Fund Agreement) to approve or make any distribution upon any Talc Personal Injury Claim shall be admissible as evidence of, or have any res judicata, collateral estoppel, or other preclusive or precedential effect regarding, liability to be imposed against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, their Affiliates, or any other Entity, including, without limitation, any insurer, other than the PI Settlement Fund. The Confirmation Order shall constitute findings and orders with regard to this Article VI.B. For the avoidance of doubt, the PI Claims Distribution Procedures and determination thereunder of the amount of and liability for any Talc Personal Injury Claims shall be for the sole purpose of distributing the recoveries provided by the Debtors to Class 9(a) under the Plan and for no other purpose. The insurers reserve all rights to defend and contest applicable causes of action or demands to the extent that they are brought against the insurers, or to the extent that such causes of action or demands seek recovery from the insurers.

ARTICLE VII.

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

A.
Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
Except as otherwise provided herein, all Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases will be deemed assumed as of the Effective Date, in accordance with the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, other than those Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that: (1) previously were assumed or rejected by the Debtors; (2) are identified on the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; or (3) are the subject of a motion to reject such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, as applicable, that is pending on the Effective Date, regardless of whether the requested effective date of such rejection is on or after the Effective Date. The assumption or rejection of all executory contracts and unexpired leases in the Chapter 11 Cases or in the Plan shall be determined by the Debtors, with the consent of the Required Consenting BrandCo Lenders. Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of such assumptions, assumptions and assignments, and the rejection of the Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases listed on the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Any motions to reject Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases pending on the Effective Date shall be subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court on or after the Effective Date by a Final Order. Each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to this Article VII.A or by any order of the Bankruptcy Court, which has not been assigned to a third party prior to the Confirmation Date or such later date as provided in this Article VII.A, shall revest in and be fully enforceable by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, in accordance with such Executory Contract and/or Unexpired Lease's terms, except as such terms are modified by the provisions of the Plan or any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption under applicable federal law.
73
To the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, the assumption of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (including, without limitation, any "change of control" (whether direct or indirect) or "anti-assignment" provision, or similar provision implicated by a conversion of the form of entity of the Debtors or their Affiliates), then such provision shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan shall not entitle the non-Debtor party thereto to terminate such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to exercise any other rights, including default-related rights, due to the conversion of the form of entity of, as applicable, the Debtors or their Affiliates thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have the right to alter, amend, modify, or supplement the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, including by way of adding or removing a particular Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease from the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, at any time through and including sixty (60) Business Days after the Effective Date; provided that, after the Confirmation Date, the Debtors may not subsequently reject any Unexpired Lease of nonresidential real property under which any Debtor is the lessee that was not previously rejected (or subject to a motion to reject) or designated as rejected on the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases absent consent of the applicable lessor; provided further that, with respect to any Unexpired Lease subject to a dispute regarding (1) the amount of the Cure Claim, (2) the ability of the Reorganized Debtors or any assignee to provide "adequate assurance of future performance" (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under such Unexpired Lease to be assumed, if required, or (3) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the Debtors may reject such Unexpired Lease within 30 days following entry of a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court resolving such dispute.

B.
Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases
Proofs of Claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, if any, must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court or the Voting and Claims Agent and served on the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, by the later of (1) the applicable Claims Bar Date, and (2) thirty (30) calendar days after notice of such rejection is served on the applicable claimant. Any Claims arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease not Filed within such time shall be automatically Disallowed and forever barred from assertion and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, the Estates, or property of the foregoing parties, without the need for any objection by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, or further notice to, or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other Entity, and any Claim arising out of the rejection of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged, including any Claims against any Debtor listed on the Schedules as unliquidated, contingent, or disputed. Allowed Claims arising from the rejection of the Debtors' Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases shall be classified as Other General Unsecured Claims and shall be treated in accordance with Article III of the Plan.
74
Any and all Proofs of Claim based upon Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that have been assumed in the Chapter 11 Cases, including pursuant to the Confirmation Order, and for which any cure amount has been fully paid or for which the cure amount is $0 pursuant to this Article VII, 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.

C.
Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
Any Cure Claims shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the Cure Claim in Cash on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, with such Cure Claim being $0.00 if no amount is listed in the Cure Notice, subject to the limitations described below, or on such other terms as the party to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease may otherwise agree. In the event of a dispute regarding (1) the amount of the Cure Claim, (2) the ability of the Reorganized Debtors or any assignee to provide "adequate assurance of future performance" (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed, if required, or (3) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall only be made following the entry of a Final Order or orders resolving the dispute and approving the assumption or by mutual agreement between the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and the applicable counterparty, with the reasonable consent of the Required Consenting BrandCo Lenders.
At least fourteen (14) calendar days before the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors shall distribute, or cause to be distributed, Cure Notices and proposed amounts of Cure Claims to the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease counterparties. Any objection by a counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to a proposed assumption or related cure amount must be Filed, served, and actually received by the Debtors at least seven (7) calendar days before the Confirmation Hearing. Any such objection to the assumption of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be heard by the Bankruptcy Court on or before the Effective Date, unless a later date is agreed to between the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, on the one hand, and the counterparty to the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, on the other hand, or by order of the Bankruptcy Court; provided, however,that any such objection that is timely Filed by Broadstone Rev New Jersey, LLC or 540 Beautyrest Avenue, LLC shall be heard by the Bankruptcy Court on or before the Confirmation Date, unless a later date is agreed to between the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, on the one hand, and Broadstone Rev New Jersey, LLC or 540 Beautyrest Avenue, LLC, as applicable, on the other hand, or by order of the Bankruptcy Court. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption or cure amount shall be deemed to have assented to such assumption and/or cure amount.
75
The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve the right to reject any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease in resolution of any cure disputes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if at any time the Bankruptcy Court determines that the Allowed Cure Claim with respect to any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is greater than the amount set forth in the applicable Cure Notice, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will have the right, at such time, to add such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, in which case such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed rejected as the Effective Date.
Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Claims against any Debtor or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting a change in control or any bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time before the date that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors assume such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Reorganized Debtors from (1) paying any Cure Claim despite the failure of the relevant counterparty to File such request for payment of such Cure Claim or (2) settling any Cure Claim without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, in each case in clauses (1) or (2), with the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Required Consenting 2020 B-2 Lenders. Any Proofs of Claim Filed with respect to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that has been assumed and cured shall be deemed Disallowed and expunged, without further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

D.
Pre-existing Obligations to the Debtors under Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
Notwithstanding any non-bankruptcy law to the contrary, the Debtors expressly reserve and do not waive any right to receive, or any continuing obligation of a counterparty to provide, warranties or continued maintenance obligations on goods previously purchased, or services previously received, by the contracting Debtors from counterparties to rejected or repudiated Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. For the avoidance of doubt, the rejection of any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall not constitute a termination of pre-existing obligations owed to the Debtors under or in relation to such Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

E.
D&O Insurance
All of the Debtors' directors' and officers' liability insurance policies (including any "tail policies"), and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto, are treated as and deemed to be Executory Contracts under the Plan. On the Effective Date, the Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all such directors' and officers' liability insurance policies and any agreements, documents, and instruments related thereto. In addition, on and after the Effective Date, none of the Reorganized Debtors shall terminate or otherwise reduce, limit or restrict the coverage under any of the directors' and officers' liability insurance policies with respect to conduct occurring prior thereto, and, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the directors' and officers' liability insurance policies, all directors and officers of the Debtors who served in such capacity at any time prior to the Effective Date shall be entitled to the full benefits of any such directors' and officers' insurance policy (including any "tail policies") for the full term of such policy regardless of whether such directors and/or officers remain in such positions after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article X.D and Article X.E, all of the Debtors' current and former officers' and directors' rights as beneficiaries of such insurance policies, if any, are preserved to the extent set forth herein.

H.
Indemnification Provisions
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, on and as of the Effective Date, any of the Debtors' indemnification rights with respect to any contract or agreement that is the subject of or related to any litigation against the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall be assumed by the Reorganized Debtors and otherwise remain unaffected by the Chapter 11 Cases.

I.

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by separate order of the Bankruptcy Court, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed shall include (1) all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument or other document that in any manner affect such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and (2) all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases related thereto, if any, including easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, powers, uses, reciprocal easement agreements and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court or under the Plan.

Except as otherwise provided by the Plan or by separate order of the Bankruptcy Court, modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases and actions taken in accordance therewith (1) 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 against any Debtor that may arise in connection therewith, (2) are not and do not create postpetition contracts or leases, (3) do not elevate to administrative expense priority any Claims of the counterparties to such Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases against any of the Debtors, and (4) do not entitle any Entity to a Claim against any of the Debtors under any section of the Bankruptcy Code on account of the difference between the terms of any prepetition Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases and subsequent modifications, amendments, supplements, or restatements.

J.
Reservation of Rights
Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease on the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases or any Cure Notice, nor anything contained in the Plan or the Plan Supplement, shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder. If, prior to the Effective Date, 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) calendar days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease, including by rejecting such contract or lease nunc pro tunc to the Confirmation Date.

ARTICLE VIII.

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

A.
Timing and Calculation of Amounts to Be Distributed
Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, on the Effective Date (or if a Claim is not an Allowed Claim on the Effective Date, on the date that such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim), each Holder of an Allowed Claim shall be entitled to receive the full amount of the distributions that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims in each applicable Class. If and to the extent that there are Disputed Claims, distributions on account of any such Disputed Claims (which will only be made if and when they become Allowed Claims) shall be made pursuant to the provisions set forth in Article IX of the Plan. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, Holders of Claims shall not be entitled to interest, dividends, or accruals on the distributions provided for in the Plan, regardless of whether such distributions are delivered on or at any time after the Effective Date. The Debtors shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of Claims against any Debtor or privately held Interests occurring on or after the Distribution Record Date. Distributions to Holders of Claims or Interests related to public securities shall be made to such Holders in exchange for such securities, which shall be deemed canceled as of the Effective Date.

B.
Distributions on Account of Obligations of Multiple Debtors
For all purposes associated with distributions under the Plan, each Class 9 General Unsecured Claim that has been asserted against multiple debtors will be treated as a single Claim and shall result in a single distribution under the Plan.

C.
Disbursing Agent
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, all distributions under the Plan shall be made by the Disbursing Agent on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. The Disbursing Agent shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

The Disbursing Agent shall be empowered to: (a) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments, and other documents necessary to perform its duties under the Plan; (b) make all distributions contemplated hereby; (c) employ professionals to represent it with respect to its responsibilities; and (d) exercise such other powers as may be vested in the Disbursing Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to the Plan, or as deemed by the Disbursing Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions hereof.
81
2. Expenses Incurred On or After the Effective Date
Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the amount of any reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent on or after the Effective Date (including taxes other than any income taxes) and any reasonable compensation and out-of-pocket expense reimbursement claims (including reasonable and documented attorney fees and expenses) made by the Disbursing Agent shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors; provided that all such expenses, compensation, and reimbursement claims of the GUC Administrator, the PI Claims Administrator, or the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee shall be paid from the GUC Trust/PI Fund Operating Reserve.

E.
Delivery of Distributions and Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions

Delivery of Distributions to Holders of Allowed Credit Agreement Claims
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, all distributions under the Plan on account of an Allowed FILO ABL Claim, OpCo Term Loan Claim, 2020 Term B-1 Loan Claim, or 2020 Term B-2 Loan Claim shall be made by the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent, as applicable, to the Holder of record of such Allowed Claim as of the Distribution Record Date (as determined and maintained by the ABL Agent, 2016 Agent, or BrandCo Agent, as applicable) or as otherwise reasonably directed by such Holder to the Disbursing Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent permitted by the 2016 Credit Agreement, all distributions under the Plan on account of an Allowed 2016 Term Loan Claim (other than any Allowed 2016 Term Loan Claim held by a Released Party) shall be subject to, and shall not limit the ability of the 2016 Agent to offset, any 2016 Agent Surviving Indemnity Obligations.

(b)
Delivery of Distributions to Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee
In the event that Class 8 votes to accept the Plan and the Creditors' Committee Settlement Conditions are satisfied, (i) distributions to be made to Holders of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims shall be made to, or at the reasonable direction of, the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, which shall transmit or direct the transmission of such distributions to Holders of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims, subject to the priority and charging lien rights of the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, in accordance with the Unsecured Notes Indenture and the Plan, (ii) the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, subject to the payment of its fees and expenses to the extent set forth in the Plan, shall transfer or direct the transfer of such distributions through the facilities of DTC, and (iii) the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes under the Plan with Holders of the Unsecured Notes Claims to the extent consistent with the customary practices of DTC, and all distributions to be made to Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims shall be delivered to the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee in a form that is eligible to be distributed through the facilities of DTC. If Class 8 votes to reject the Plan or the Creditors' Committee Settlement Conditions are not satisfied, distributions in respect of the Consenting Unsecured Noteholder Recovery shall be made to each Holder of Unsecured Notes Claims that has voted to accept the Plan on account of such Claims and that otherwise qualifies as a Consenting Unsecured Noteholder according to the information provided on such Holder's ballot or the applicable master ballot, as applicable, in respect of such vote, and such distributions shall be made at the expense of the Debtors with the assistance of the Voting and Claims Agent and shall be subject to all charging lien and priority distribution rights of the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee to the extent provided in the Unsecured Notes Indenture with respect to any unpaid fees and expenses as of the Effective Date.
82

(c)
Delivery of Distributions in General
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims (other than Holders specified in Article VIII.E.1(a) or (b)) or Interests shall be made to Holders of record as of the Distribution Record Date by the Reorganized Debtors or the applicable Disbursing Agent: (i) to the signatory set forth on any of the Proofs of Claim Filed by such Holder or other representative identified therein (or at the last known addresses of such Holder if no Proof of Claim is Filed or if the Debtors have been notified in writing of a change of address); (ii) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Reorganized Debtors after the date of any related Proof of Claim; (iii) at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if no Proof of Claim has been Filed and the Reorganized Debtors have not received a written notice of a change of address; or (iv) on any counsel that has appeared in the Chapter 11 Cases on the Holder's behalf. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall not incur any liability whatsoever on account of any distributions under the Plan, except in the event of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a Final Order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Subject to this Article VIII, distributions under the Plan on account of Allowed Claims shall not be subject to levy, garnishment, attachment, or like legal process, so that each Holder of an Allowed Claim shall have and receive the benefit of the distributions in the manner set forth in the Plan. The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and the Disbursing Agents, as applicable, shall not incur any liability whatsoever on account of any distributions under the Plan, except in the event of actual fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, as determined by a Final Order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
2. Record Date of Distributions
As of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the various transfer registers for each Class of Claims as maintained by the Debtors or their respective agents shall be deemed closed, and there shall be no further changes in the record Holders of any Claims. The Disbursing Agent shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of Claims occurring on or after the Distribution Record Date. In addition, with respect to payment of any cure amounts or disputes over any cure amounts, neither the Debtors nor the Disbursing Agent shall have any obligation to recognize or deal with any party other than the non-Debtor party to the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease as of the Effective Date, even if such non-Debtor party has sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred its Cure Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, the Distribution Record Date shall not apply to distributions to Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims, the Holders of which shall receive distributions, if applicable, in accordance with Article VIII.E.1(b) of the Plan.
83
3. Special Rules for Distributions to Holders of Disputed Claims
Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan and except as otherwise agreed to by the Reorganized Debtors, on the one hand, and the Holder of a Disputed Claim, on the other hand, or as set forth in a Final Order, no partial payments and no partial distributions shall be made with respect to a Disputed Claim until all of the Disputed Claim has become an Allowed Claim or has otherwise been resolved by settlement or Final Order; provided that, if the Reorganized Debtors do not dispute a portion of an amount asserted pursuant to an otherwise Disputed Claim, the Disbursing Agent may make a partial distribution on account of that portion of such Claim that is not Disputed at the time and in the manner that the Disbursing Agent makes distributions to similarly situated Holders of Allowed Claims pursuant to the Plan. Any dividends or other distributions arising from property distributed to Holders of Allowed Claims in a Class and paid to such Holders under the Plan shall also be paid, in the applicable amounts, to any Holder of a Disputed Claim in such Class that becomes an Allowed Claim after the date or dates that such dividends or other distributions were earlier paid to Holders of Allowed Claims in such Class.
4. Minimum Distributions
No partial distributions or payments of fractions of New Securities shall be distributed and no Cash shall be distributed in lieu of such fractional amounts. When any distribution pursuant to the Plan on account of an Allowed Claim or Interest, as applicable, would otherwise result in the issuance of a number of New Securities that is not a whole number, the actual distribution of New Securities shall be rounded as follows: (a) fractions of greater than one-half (1/2) shall be rounded to the next higher whole number and (b) fractions of one-half (1/2) or less than one-half (1/2) shall be rounded to the next lower whole number with no further payment therefor. The total number of authorized shares of New Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Plan may (at the Debtors' discretion) be adjusted as necessary to account for the foregoing rounding.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no Cash payment valued at less than $100.00, in the reasonable discretion of the Disbursing Agent and the Reorganized Debtors, shall be made to a Holder of an Allowed Claim on account of such Allowed Claim. Such Allowed Claims to which this limitation applies shall be discharged and its Holder forever barred from asserting that Claim against the Reorganized Debtors or their property.
5. Undeliverable Distributions and Unclaimed Property
In the event that any distribution to any Holder is returned as undeliverable, no distribution to such Holder shall be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent has determined the then-current address of such Holder, at which time such distribution shall be made to such Holder without interest; provided, however, that such distributions shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code at the expiration of six (6) months from the later of (a) the Effective Date and (b) the date of the distribution. After such date, all unclaimed property or interests in property shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors automatically and without need for a further order by the Bankruptcy Court (notwithstanding any applicable federal, provincial, state, or other jurisdiction escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws to the contrary), and the Claim of any Holder to such property or Interest in property shall be discharged and forever barred. The Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent shall have no obligation to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim other than by reviewing the Debtors' books and records and the Bankruptcy Court's filings.
84
Checks issued on account of Allowed Claims shall be null and void if not negotiated within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days from and after the date of issuance thereof. Requests for reissuance of any check must be made directly and in writing to the Disbursing Agent by the Holder of the relevant Allowed Claim within the 180-calendar day period. After such date, the relevant Allowed Claim (and any Claim for reissuance of the original check) shall be automatically discharged and forever barred, and such funds shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors (notwithstanding any applicable federal, provincial, state or other jurisdiction escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws to the contrary).
A distribution shall be deemed unclaimed if a Holder has not: (a) accepted a particular distribution or, in the case of distributions made by check, negotiated such check; (b) given notice to the Reorganized Debtors of an intent to accept a particular distribution; (c) responded to the Debtors' or Reorganized Debtors' requests for information necessary to facilitate a particular distribution; or (d) taken any other action necessary to facilitate such distribution.

F.
Manner of Payment
At the option of the Disbursing Agent, any Cash payment to be made hereunder may be made by check, wire transfer, automated clearing house, or credit card, or as otherwise required or provided in applicable agreements.

G.
Registration or Private Placement Exemption
The New Securities are or may be "securities," as defined in Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act, section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, and applicable state securities laws.
1. Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code
Pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, the offer, issuance, and distribution of the New Securities (other than the Reserved Shares or any Unsubscribed Shares, as described in Article VIII.G.2) by Reorganized Holdings as contemplated by the Plan (including the issuance of New Common Stock upon exercise of the Equity Subscription Rights and/or the New Warrants) is exempt from, among other things, the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act and any other applicable U.S. state or local law requiring registration prior to the offering, issuance, distribution or sale of securities. The New Securities issued by Reorganized Holdings pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code (1) are not "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, and (2) are freely tradable and transferable by any initial recipient thereof that (a) is not an "affiliate" of the Reorganized Debtors as defined in Rule 144(a)(1) under the Securities Act, (b) has not been such an "affiliate" within ninety (90) calendar days of such transfer, (c) has not acquired the New Securities from an "affiliate" within one year of such transfer and (d) is not an entity that is an "underwriter" as defined in section 1145(b) of the Bankruptcy Code; provided that transfer of the New Securities may be restricted by the LLC Agreement, the other New Organizational Documents, the New Shareholders' Agreement, if any, and the New Warrant Agreement.
85
2. Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act
The offer (to the extent applicable), issuance, and distribution of the Reserved Shares and the Unsubscribed Shares shall be exempt (including with respect to an entity that is an "underwriter" as defined in subsection (b) of section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code) from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulation D thereunder. Therefore, the Reserved Shares and the Unsubscribed Shares will be "restricted securities" subject to resale restrictions and may be resold, exchanged, assigned, or otherwise transferred only pursuant to registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and other applicable law. In that regard, each of the Equity Commitment Parties has made customary representations to the Debtors, including that each is an "accredited investor" (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act) or a qualified institutional buyer (as defined under Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act).
3. DTC
Should the Reorganized Debtors elect on or after the Effective Date to reflect any ownership of the New Securities through the facilities of DTC, the Reorganized Debtors need not provide any further evidence other than the Plan or the Confirmation Order with respect to the treatment of transfers, exercise, removal of restrictions, or conversion of New Securities under applicable U.S. federal, state or local securities laws.
DTC shall be required to accept and conclusively rely upon the Plan and Confirmation Order in lieu of a legal opinion regarding whether the New Securities are exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement and depository services. Each Entity that becomes a Holder of New Common Stock indirectly through the facilities of DTC will be deemed bound by the terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement and other applicable New Organizational Documents and shall be deemed to be a beneficial owner of New Common Stock subject to the terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no Entity (including, for the avoidance of doubt, DTC) may require a legal opinion regarding the validity of any transaction contemplated by the Plan, including, for the avoidance of doubt, whether the New Common Stock or the New Warrants (or New Common Stock issued upon exercise of the New Warrants) are exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement and depository services.

H.
Compliance with Tax Requirements
In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Reorganized Debtors 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 Disbursing Agent shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including, without limitation, 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, documentation, and certifications necessary to facilitate such distributions, or establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable or appropriate. All Persons holding Claims against any Debtor shall be required to provide any information necessary for the Reorganized Debtors to comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit. The Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to allocate any distributions made under the Plan in compliance with applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and other spousal awards, Liens, and encumbrances.
86
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, 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 on account of such distribution.

I.
No Postpetition or Default Interest on Claims
Unless otherwise specifically provided for in an order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Plan, the Final DIP Order, or the Confirmation Order, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims and no holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any such Claim for purposes of distributions under the Plan.

J.
Allocations
Distributions in respect of Allowed Claims shall be allocated first to the principal amount of such Claims (as determined for federal income tax purposes) and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claims, to the remaining portion of such Allowed Claim, if any.

K.
Setoffs and Recoupment
The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may, but shall not be required to, setoff against or recoup any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of such Allowed Claim, any claims, rights, and Causes of Action of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may have against the Holder of such Allowed Claim pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or applicable nonbankruptcy law, to the extent that such claims, rights, or Causes of Action against such Holder have not been otherwise compromised or settled on or prior to the Effective Date (pursuant to the Plan or otherwise); provided, however, that the failure of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, to do so shall not constitute a waiver, abandonment or release by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors of any such Claim they may have against the Holder of such Claim.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, nothing in the Plan shall modify the rights, if any, of Broadstone Rev New Jersey, LLC and 540 Beautyrest Avenue, LLC, solely to the extent that either such entity is a counterparty to any Unexpired Lease of nonresidential real property, to assert any right of setoff or recoupment that such party may have under applicable bankruptcy or non-bankruptcy law, subject to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code and any other applicable bankruptcy law, including, but not limited to: (1) the ability, if any, of such parties to setoff or recoup a security deposit held pursuant to the terms of their Unexpired Lease with the Debtors, or any successors to the Debtors, under the Plan; (2) assertion of rights of setoff or recoupment, if any, in connection with Claims reconciliation; or (3) assertion of setoff or recoupment as a defense, if any, against any claim or action by the Debtors. The Debtors rights with respect thereto are expressly reserved.
87

L.
Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties
1. Claims Paid by Third Parties
The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall reduce a Claim against any Debtor, and such Claim (or portion thereof) shall be Disallowed without a Claim 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 a payment on account of such Claim from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor, as applicable. Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, to the extent a Holder of a Claim receives a distribution on account of such Claim and also receives payment from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, on account of such Claim, such Holder shall, within fourteen (14) days of receipt of such payment, repay or return the distribution to the applicable Reorganized Debtor 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. The failure of such Holder to timely repay or return such distribution shall result in the Holder owing the applicable Reorganized Debtor annualized interest at the Federal Judgment Rate on such amount owed for each Business Day after the fourteen day grace period specified above until the amount is repaid.
2. Claims Payable by Third Parties
No distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of an Allowed Claim that is payable pursuant to one of the Debtors' insurance policies until the Holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to such insurance policy (other than a Talc Personal Injury Claim administered pursuant to the PI Claims Distribution Procedures). For the avoidance of doubt, the PI Claims Distribution Procedures and determination thereunder of the amount of and liability for any Talc Personal Injury Claims shall be for the sole purpose of distributing the recoveries provided by the Debtors to Class 9(a) under the Plan and for no other purpose. The insurers reserve all rights to defend and contest applicable causes of action or demands to the extent that they are brought against the insurers, or to the extent that such causes of action or demands seek recovery from the insurers. To the extent that one or more of the Debtors' insurers agrees to satisfy in full or in part a Claim against any Debtor, then immediately upon such insurers' agreement, the applicable portion of such Claim may be expunged without a Claim objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
3. Applicability of Insurance Policies
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, including this Article VIII.L.3, (a) payments to Holders of Claims covered by the Debtors' insurance policies shall be in accordance with the provisions of any applicable insurance policy, and (b) nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Cause of Action that the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any Person (including any Holder of a Hair Straightening Claim) or Entity may hold against any other Entity, including insurers, under any policies of insurance. Except as expressly set forth in this Article VIII.L.3 or in Articles VII.F, VIII.L.2 or IX.A.6 of the Plan, nothing contained herein shall constitute or be deemed a waiver by such insurers of any rights or defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such insurers.
88
Except with respect to the Debtors' directors' and officers' insurance policies, and notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in any of the Debtors' insurance policies, the applicable insurers shall have no obligation to pay any amounts that are within any applicable and unexhausted deductibles or self-insured retentions on account of any Hair Straightening Claims (a "Hair Straightening Deductible or SIR Obligation") under any applicable insurance policy on account of Hair Straightening Claims that are discharged pursuant to the Plan and applicable law. Holders of Allowed Hair Straightening Claims shall have no right to receive, and shall be deemed to have waived any such right to receive, from any applicable insurer any amounts that are within a Hair Straightening Deductible or SIR Obligation of an insurance policy, and Holders of Allowed Hair Straightening Claims shall be subject to and receive distributions solely pursuant to Article III.C.12 of the Plan, if any, on account of such amounts within a Hair Straightening Deductible or SIR Obligation, which treatment shall satisfy and exhaust, in full, any obligation of the Debtors, their Estates, the Reorganized Debtors, their Affiliates, insurers, or any other obligor under the applicable policy or policies to pay, reimburse, or otherwise satisfy any Hair Straightening Deductible or SIR Obligation, regardless of the amount or availability of the distribution. No insurer shall have a Claim or other Cause of Action against the Debtors, their Estates, the Reorganized Debtors, their Affiliates, or any other Entity for any Hair Straightening Deductible or SIR Obligation, except to the extent such obligation is for any unpaid Hair Straightening Claims Defense Costs. Nothing herein shall in any way affect an insurance company's obligations under any insurance policy issued or providing coverage to the Debtors, their Estates, or the Reorganized Debtors to pay amounts due under any insurance policy, including amounts in excess of any applicable Hair Straightening Deductible or SIR Obligation; provided nothing herein will require any insurer to pay the amount of any judgment or settlement within an unpaid Hair Straightening Deductible or SIR Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the automatic stay and the injunctions in Article X.G of the Plan do not apply to Causes of Action by Hair Straightening Claimants seeking to recover amounts due under any insurance policy in excess of any applicable Hair Straightening Deductible or SIR Obligation on account of Hair Straightening Claims once they are fully and finally liquidated in accordance with Article IX.A.6 of the Plan. The applicable insurer will be entitled to reduce the amount payable to a Hair Straightening Claimant on account of any settlement or judgment entered with respect to a Hair Straightening Claim in full dollars for any Hair Straightening Deductible or SIR Obligations applicable to such Claim pursuant to the applicable insurance policy.
All insurers under the Debtors' insurance policies are permanently enjoined, from and after the Effective Date, from taking any of the following actions against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Entity, or any assets of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Entities, or any collateral or security provided by or on behalf of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, any of their respective Affiliates, and/or any other Entities: (a) commencing or continuing in any manner any cause of action, lawsuit, or other proceeding of any kind seeking to recover any Hair Straightening Deductible or SIR Obligation, except to the extent such obligation is for any unpaid Hair Straightening Claims Defense Costs; (b) enforcing, attaching, collecting, or recovering by any manner or means any judgment, award, decree, or order against such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any Hair Straightening Deductible or SIR Obligation, except to the extent such obligation is for any unpaid Hair Straightening Claims Defense Costs; (c) creating, perfecting, or enforcing any lien or encumbrance of any kind against such Entities or the property or the estates of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any Hair Straightening Deductible or SIR Obligation, except to the extent such obligation is for any unpaid Hair Straightening Claims Defense Costs; (d) asserting any right of setoff, subrogation, contribution, or recoupment of any kind against any obligation due from such Entities or against the property of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any Hair Straightening Deductible or SIR Obligation, except to the extent such obligation is for any unpaid Hair Straightening Claims Defense Costs; and (e) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or with respect to any Hair Straightening Deductible or SIR Obligation, except to the extent such obligation is for any unpaid Hair Straightening Claims Defense Costs.
89
For clarity, to preserve coverage under any Debtors' insurance policies, Holders of Hair Straightening Claims specifically reserve, and do not release, any claims they may have against the Debtors that implicate coverage under any of the Debtors' insurance policies, but recourse is limited to the proceeds of the Debtors' insurance policies in excess of any applicable Hair Straightening Deductible or SIR Obligations, and all other damages (including extra-contractual damages), awards, judgments in excess of policy limits, penalties, punitive damages, and attorney's fees and costs that may be recoverable from any of the Debtors (solely to the extent of distributions available under and in accordance with Article III.C.12 of the Plan, if any) or any of the Debtors' insurers consistent with the Plan.
For the avoidance of doubt, Holders of Hair Straightening Claims shall have no claims or recourse against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any of their respective Affiliates, and the sole recovery on account of Hair Straightening Claims, if any, shall be from the Debtors' insurance policies, if permitted and in accordance with the terms of such policies and the Plan.
To the extent that it is determined by a Final Order that this Article VIII.L.3 does not apply to any insurance policy, the Reorganized Debtors shall not be deemed to have assumed such policy or policies and shall not be obligated to honor any obligations under such policy or policies pursuant to Article VII.F of the Plan. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to the Zurich Insurance Contracts or the Chubb Insurance Contracts, which are assumed pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Article VII.G of the Plan.


M.
Foreign Current Exchange Rate
As of the Effective Date, any Claim asserted in a currency other than U.S. dollars shall be automatically deemed converted to the equivalent U.S. dollar value using the exchange rate on the Petition Date, as quoted at 4:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern time), midrange spot rate of exchange for the applicable currency as published in the Wall Street Journal, National Edition, on the day after the Petition Date.

ARTICLE IX.

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CONTINGENT,
UNLIQUIDATED, AND DISPUTED CLAIMS

A.
Resolution of Disputed Claims
1. Allowance of Claims
After the Effective Date, each of the Reorganized Debtors (and, with respect to the administration of General Unsecured Claims, the GUC Administrator or the PI Claims Administrator, as applicable) shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses such Debtor had with respect to any Claim immediately before the Effective Date. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or in any order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases before the Effective Date (including the Confirmation Order), no Claim against any Debtor shall become an Allowed Claim unless and until such Claim is deemed Allowed under the Plan or the Bankruptcy Code, or the Bankruptcy Court has entered a Final Order, including the Confirmation Order (when it becomes a Final Order), in the Chapter 11 Cases allowing such Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, all references in this Article IX to (a) the GUC Administrator shall apply only in the event the GUC Trust is created in accordance with the Plan and only with respect to Claims in Classes 9(b), (c), and (d), and (b) the PI Claims Administrator shall apply only in the event the PI Settlement Fund is created in accordance with the Plan and only with respect to Claims in Class 9(a).
2. Claims and Interests Administration Responsibilities
Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan and notwithstanding any requirements that may be imposed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors (or any authorized agent or assignee thereof), the GUC Administrator, and the PI Claims Administrator, as applicable, shall have the sole authority to: (a) File, withdraw, or litigate to judgment objections to Claims against any of the Debtors; (b) settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court; and (c) administer and adjust the Claims Register to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court. For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise provided herein, from and after the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor (and, solely with respect to the administration of General Unsecured Claims, the GUC Administrator or the PI Claims Administrator, as applicable) shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses that any Debtor had immediately prior to the Effective Date with respect to any Disputed Claim or Interest.
3. Estimation of Claims
Before or after the Effective Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, the GUC Administrator, or the PI Claims Administrator, as applicable, may (but are not required to) at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Disputed Claim that is contingent or unliquidated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any such Claim, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or during the appeal relating to such objection. Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan, a Claim against any Debtor that has been expunged from the Claims Register, but that either is subject to appeal or has not been the subject of a Final Order, shall be deemed to be estimated at zero dollars, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any Disputed, contingent or unliquidated Claim, that estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim for all purposes under the Plan (including for purposes of distributions), and the relevant Reorganized Debtor may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such Claim; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to Claims against any of the Debtors requested by the Debtors to be estimated for voting purposes only.
91
Notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, in no event shall any Holder of a Claim that has been estimated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise be entitled to seek reconsideration of such estimation unless such Holder has Filed a motion requesting the right to seek such reconsideration on or before fourteen (14) calendar days after the date on which such Claim is estimated. All of the aforementioned Claims and objection, estimation, and resolution procedures are cumulative and not exclusive of one another. Claims against any of the Debtors may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn, or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
4. Adjustment to Claims Without Objection
Any duplicate Claim or Interest, any Claim against any Debtor that has been paid or satisfied, or any Claim against any Debtor that has been amended or superseded, canceled, or otherwise expunged (including pursuant to the Plan), may, in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules, be adjusted or expunged (including on the Claims Register, to the extent applicable) by the Reorganized Debtors, the GUC Administrator, or the PI Claims Administrator, as applicable, without the Reorganized Debtors, the GUC Administrator, or the PI Claims Administrator having to File an application, motion, complaint, objection, or any other legal proceeding seeking to object to such Claim or Interest and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Additionally, any Claim or Interest that is duplicative or redundant with another Claim or Interest against the same Debtor may be adjusted or expunged on the Claims Register at the direction of the Reorganized Debtors, the GUC Administrator, or the PI Claims Administrator, as applicable, without the Reorganized Debtors, the GUC Administrator, or the PI Claims Administrator having to File an application, motion, complaint, objection, or any other legal proceeding seeking to object to such Claim or Interest and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
5. Time to File Objections to Claims
Any objections to Claims against any of the Debtors shall be Filed on or before the Claims Objection Deadline.
6. Liquidation of Hair Straightening Claims
Hair Straightening Claims evidenced by a Hair Straightening Proof of Claim shall be liquidated in the Hair Straightening MDL or, in the event that the Hair Straightening MDL has been terminated, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York consistent with the applicable provisions of 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334.
92
The Plan shall constitute an objection to each Hair Straightening Claim. On or after the later of (a) the Effective Date and (b) the date of entry of an order in the MDL permitting potential plaintiffs to file complaints directly in the Hair Straightening MDL (the "MDL Direct Filing Order"), each Hair Straightening Claimant that has properly filed a Hair Straightening Proof of Claim shall file a complaint naming the applicable Debtor(s) in the Hair Straightening MDL or, if the Hair Straightening MDL has terminated or is otherwise the inapplicable forum for such action, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York consistent with the applicable provisions of 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334, for the purpose of liquidating such Hair Straightening Claim against the applicable Debtor(s) (any such action, a "Hair Straightening Liquidation Action"). All Hair Straightening Liquidation Actions must be commenced no later than the later of (a) September 14, 2023, (b) 90 days after entry of the MDL Direct Filing Order, and (c) solely with respect to a Hair Straightening Claimant who is diagnosed after the Hair Straightening Bar Date, six (6) months from the date of the applicable diagnosis by a licensed medical doctor. Any Hair Straightening Claim for which a Hair Straightening Liquidation Action is not timely commenced pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be disallowed.
The injunction set forth in Article X.G of the Plan is modified solely for the purpose of allowing Hair Straightening Claimants that have properly filed a Hair Straightening Proof of Claim to file and pursue Hair Straightening Liquidation Actions against the applicable Debtor(s) in the Hair Straightening MDL or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York consistent with the applicable provisions of 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334, as applicable.
For the avoidance of doubt, a settlement or judgment, if any, in respect of a Hair Straightening Claim, including in respect of any Hair Straightening Liquidation Action, to the extent not paid by insurance, shall be treated as an Other General Unsecured Claim and receive a distribution pursuant to the Plan, including Article III of the Plan, shall constitute and remain a prepetition Claim discharged against the Reorganized Debtors and their assets, and shall not, in any event, be recoverable against the Reorganized Debtors or their assets.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Article IX.A.6 applies solely to Hair Straightening Claims for which a timely and properly filed Hair Straightening Proof of Claim has been filed.

B.
Disallowance of Claims
Any Claims against any of the Debtors held by Entities from which property is recoverable under sections 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code, or that is a transferee of a transfer avoidable under sections 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be deemed Disallowed pursuant to section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and Holders of such Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such Claims until such time as such Causes of Action against that Entity have been settled or a Bankruptcy Court order with respect thereto has been entered and all sums due, if any, to the Debtors by that Entity have been turned over or paid to the Reorganized Debtors. Subject in all respects to Article IV.P, all Proofs of Claims Filed on account of an indemnification obligation to a director, officer, or employee shall be deemed satisfied and expunged from the Claims Register as of the Effective Date to the extent such indemnification obligation is assumed (or honored or reaffirmed, as the case may be) pursuant to the Plan, without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
93
Except as provided herein or otherwise agreed to by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, the GUC Administrator, or the PI Claims Administrator, as applicable, any and all Proofs of Claim filed after the applicable Claims Bar Date shall be deemed Disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and Holders of such Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such Claims, unless on or before the Confirmation Hearing such late Filed Claim has been deemed timely Filed by a Final Order.

C.
Amendments to Proofs of Claim
On or after the Effective Date, except as provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, a Proof of Claim or Interest may not be Filed or amended without the prior authorization of the Bankruptcy Court or the Reorganized Debtors, the GUC Administrator, or the PI Claims Administrator, as applicable, and any such new or amended Proof of Claim Filed shall be deemed Disallowed in full and expunged without any further action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to Administrative Claims or Professional Compensation Claims.

D.
No Distributions Pending Allowance
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any portion of a Claim against any Debtor is Disputed, or if an objection to a Claim against any Debtor or portion thereof is Filed as set forth in this Article IX, no payment or distribution provided under the Plan shall be made on account of such Claim or portion thereof unless and until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

E.
Distributions After Allowance
To the extent that a Disputed Claim ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim, distributions (if any) shall be made to the Holder of such Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. As soon as practicable after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing any Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order, the Disbursing Agent shall provide to the Holder of such Allowed Claim the distribution (if any) to which such Holder is entitled under the Plan as of the Effective Date, less any previous distribution (if any) that was made on account of the undisputed portion of such Allowed Claim, without any interest, dividends, or accruals to be paid on account of such Allowed Claim unless required under applicable bankruptcy law.

F.
No Interest
Unless otherwise expressly provided by section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or as specifically provided for herein or by order of the Bankruptcy Court, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on Claims against any of the Debtors, 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; provided, however, that nothing in this Article IX.F shall limit any rights of any Governmental Unit to interest under sections 503, 506(b), 1129(a)(9)(A) or 1129(a)(9)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code or as otherwise provided for under applicable law.
94
ARTICLE X.

SETTLEMENT, RELEASE, INJUNCTION, AND RELATED PROVISIONS

A.
Compromise and Settlement of Claims, Interests, and Controversies
Pursuant to section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for, and as a requirement to receive, the distributions and other benefits provided pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall constitute a good faith global and integrated compromise and settlement (the "Plan Settlement") of all Claims, Interests, and controversies relating to the contractual, legal, and subordination rights that any Holder of a Claim or Interest may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or Interest, or any distribution to be made on account of such Allowed Claim or Interest, as well as any and all actual and potential disputes between and among the Company Entities (including, for clarity, between and among the BrandCo Entities, on the one hand, and the Non-BrandCo Entities on the other and including, with respect to each Debtor, such Debtors' Estate), the Creditors' Committee, the Consenting BrandCo Lenders, the Consenting 2016 Lenders, and each other Releasing Party and all other disputes that might impact creditor recoveries, including, without limitation, any and all issues relating to (1) the allocation of the economic burden of repayment of the ABL DIP Facility and Term DIP Facility and/or payment of adequate protection obligations provided pursuant to the Final DIP Order among the Debtors; (2) any and all disputes that might be raised impacting the allocation of value among the Debtors and their respective assets, including any and all disputes related to the Intercompany DIP Facility; and (3) any and all other Settled Claims, including the Financing Transactions Litigation Claims. The entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court's approval of the Plan Settlement as well as a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that the Plan Settlement is in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, and Holders of Claims and Interests and is fair, equitable, and reasonable. The Plan Settlement is binding upon all creditors and all other parties in interest pursuant to section 1141(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. In accordance with the provisions of the Plan, pursuant to section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may compromise and settle Claims against, and Interests in, the Debtors and their Estates and Causes of Action against other Entities.
95

B.
Discharge of Claims and Termination of Interests
Pursuant to section 1141(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or in any contract, instrument, or other agreement or document created pursuant to the Plan, the distributions, rights, and treatment that are provided in the Plan shall be in complete satisfaction, discharge, and release, effective as of the Effective Date, of Claims, Interests, and Causes of Action of any nature whatsoever, including any interest accrued on Claims or Interests from and after the Petition Date, whether known or unknown, against, liabilities of, Liens on, obligations of, rights against, and Interests in, the Debtors or any of their assets or properties, regardless of whether any property shall have been distributed or retained pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claims and Interests, including demands, liabilities, and Causes of Action that arose before the Effective Date, any liability (including withdrawal liability) to the extent such Claims or Interests relate to services performed by employees of the Debtors before the Effective Date and that arise from a termination of employment, any contingent or non-contingent liability on account of representations or warranties issued on or before the Effective Date, and all debts of the kind specified in section 502(g), 502(h), or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, in each case whether or not: (1) a Proof of Claim based upon such debt or right is Filed or deemed Filed pursuant to section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code; (2) a Claim or Interest based upon such debt, right, or Interest is Allowed pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code; or (3) the Holder of such a Claim or Interest has accepted the Plan. Any default or "event of default" by the Debtors or their Affiliates with respect to any Claim or Interest on account of the Filing of the Chapter 11 Cases or the Canadian Recognition Proceeding shall be deemed cured (and no longer continuing). The Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of the discharge of all Claims and Interests subject to the Effective Date occurring.

C.
Release of Liens
Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, or any other Definitive Document, on the Effective Date, all mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests against any property of the Estates shall be fully released, settled, discharged, and compromised, and all of the right, title, and interest of any holder of such mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests against any property of the Estates shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors and their successors and assigns, in each case, without any further approval or order of the Bankruptcy Court and without any action or filing being required to be made by the Debtors. The presentation or filing of the Confirmation Order to or with any federal, state, provincial, or local agency or department shall constitute good and sufficient evidence of, but shall not be required to effect, the termination of such mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests.
In addition, the ABL Agents, BrandCo Agent, 2016 Agent, ABL DIP Facility Agent, and Term DIP Facility Agent shall execute and deliver all documents reasonably requested by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Exit Facilities Agents, as applicable, to evidence the release of such mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, and other security interests and shall authorize the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors to file UCC-3 termination statements or other jurisdiction equivalents (to the extent applicable) with respect thereto.
96

D.
Releases by the Debtors
Pursuant to section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, for good and valuable consideration, as of the Effective Date, each of the Released Parties is unconditionally, irrevocably, generally, individually, and collectively, released, acquitted, and discharged by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and each of their Estates from any and all Causes of Action, including any derivative Causes of Action asserted or assertable by or on behalf of a Debtor, Reorganized Debtor, or any of their Estates, any Causes of Action that any Debtor, Reorganized Debtors, or any of their Estates would have been legally entitled to assert in its own right (whether individually or collectively) or on behalf of the Holder of any Claim against or Interest in a Debtor or other Entity, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, asserted or unasserted, matured or unmatured, existing or hereafter arising, in law, equity, contract, tort, or otherwise that the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or their Estates (whether individually or collectively) ever had, now has, or thereafter can, shall, or may have, based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part: (1) the Debtors, the Debtors' in- or out-of-court restructuring efforts, intercompany transactions, the Chapter 11 Cases, the Canadian Recognition Proceeding, the purchase, sale, or rescission of any security of the Debtors, the Plan Settlement, the Settled Claims, the formulation, preparation, dissemination, negotiation, or filing of the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Definitive Documents, the DIP Facilities, the Equity Rights Offering, the New Common Stock, the New Warrants, the Backstop Commitment Agreement, the Exit Facilities, the Disclosure Statement, or the Plan, including the Plan Supplement; (2) any Restructuring Transaction, contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document (including any legal opinion requested by any Entity regarding any transaction, contract, instrument, document, or other agreement contemplated by the Plan or the reliance by any Released Party on the Plan or the Confirmation Order in lieu of such legal opinion) created or entered into in connection with the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Definitive Documents, the DIP Facilities, the Equity Rights Offering, the New Common Stock, the New Warrants, the Backstop Commitment Agreement, the Exit Facilities, the Disclosure Statement, or the Plan, including the Plan Supplement; (3) the business or contractual arrangements between any Debtor and any Released Party, whether before or during the Debtors' restructuring, or the restructuring of Claims and Interests before or during the Chapter 11 Cases; (4) the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Interest that is affected by or classified in the Plan; (5) the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases or the Canadian Recognition Proceeding, the pursuit of Confirmation, the pursuit of Consummation, the administration and implementation of the Plan, including the issuance or distribution of securities pursuant to the Plan, or the distribution of property under the Plan or any other related agreement; (6) the Settled Claims; or (7) any other act or omission, transaction, agreement, event, or other occurrence taking place on or before the Effective Date arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, the Unsecured Notes Indenture, the ABL Facility Credit Agreement, the 2016 Credit Agreement, or the BrandCo Credit Agreement, and all matters relating thereto.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the releases set forth above shall not release (1) to the extent that any Causes of Action against the Debtors are not released or discharged pursuant to the Plan, any rights of the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors to assert any and all counterclaims, crossclaims, offsets, indemnities, claims for contribution, defenses, and similar claims or other Causes of Action in response to such Causes of Action; provided that such counterclaims, crossclaims, offsets, indemnities, claims for contribution, defenses, and similar claims or other Causes of Action may not be asserted against any Related Party of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors to the extent such claims have been released or discharged pursuant to the Plan, (2) any Causes of Action set forth in the Schedule of Retained Causes of Action, including any Retained Preference Action, (3) any Cause of Action against any Excluded Party, (4) any commercial Cause of Action arising in the ordinary course of business, such as accounts receivable and accounts payable on account of goods and services being performed, (5) any Cause of Action against a Holder of a Disputed Claim, to the extent such Cause of Action is necessary for the administration and resolution of such Claim solely in accordance with the Plan, or (6) any post-Effective Date obligations of any party or Entity under the Plan, any Restructuring Transaction, any Definitive Document (including those set forth in the Plan Supplement), or other document, instrument, or agreement executed to implement the Plan.
97
Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court's approval, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, of the Debtor Release, which includes by reference each of the related provisions and definitions contained in the Plan, and further, shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court's finding that the Debtor Release is: (1) essential to the Confirmation of the Plan; (2) an exercise of the Debtors' business judgment; (3) in exchange for the good and valuable consideration and substantial contributions provided by the Released Parties; (4) a good faith settlement and compromise of the Causes of Action released by the Debtor Release; (5) in the best interests of the Debtors and all Holders of Claims and Interests; (6) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (7) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (8) a bar to any of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and the Estates asserting any Cause of Action released pursuant to the Debtor Release.

98
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the releases set forth above shall not release, prejudice, limit, impact, or otherwise impair (1) to the extent that any Causes of Action against any Releasing Party are not released or discharged pursuant to the Plan, any rights of such Releasing Party to assert any and all counterclaims, crossclaims, offsets, indemnities, claims for contribution, defenses, and similar claims in response to such Causes of Action; provided that such counterclaims, crossclaims, offsets, indemnities, claims for contribution, defenses, and similar claims may not be asserted against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any Related Party of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors to the extent such claims have been released or discharged pursuant to the Plan, (2) any Cause of Action against a Released Party (other than any Settled Claim or any Cause of Action against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any Related Party of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors) unknown to such Releasing Party as of the Effective Date arising out of actual fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of such Released Party, (3) any Cause of Action against any Excluded Party, or (4) any post-Effective Date obligations of any party or Entity under the Plan, any Restructuring Transaction, or any Definitive Document (including those set forth in the Plan Supplement), or other document, instrument, or agreement executed to implement the Plan.

99
Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court's approval, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, of the Third-Party Release, which includes by reference each of the related provisions and definitions contained herein, and, further, shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court's finding that the Third-Party Release is: (1) essential to the Confirmation of the Plan; (2) given in exchange for the good and valuable consideration and substantial contributions provided by the Released Parties; (3) a good faith settlement and compromise of the Causes of Action released by the Third-Party Release; (4) in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates; (5) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (6) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (7) a bar to any of the Releasing Parties asserting any Claim or Cause of Action released pursuant to the Third-Party Release.

F.
Exculpation
Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, no Exculpated Party shall have or incur any liability to any person or Entity for, and each Exculpated Party is hereby released and exculpated from, any Cause of Action related to any act or omission in connection with, relating to, or arising out of, the Debtors' restructuring efforts, the Chapter 11 Cases, preparation for the Chapter 11 Cases, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Canadian Recognition Proceeding, the Settled Claims, the formulation, preparation, dissemination, negotiation, filing, or termination of the Restructuring Support Agreement and related transactions, the Disclosure Statement, the Plan (including any term sheets related thereto), the Plan Supplement, the DIP Facilities, the Equity Rights Offering, the Backstop Commitment Agreement, the Exit Facilities, or any Restructuring Transaction, contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document (including providing any legal opinion requested by any Entity regarding any transaction, contract, instrument, document, or other agreement contemplated by the Plan or the reliance by any Exculpated Party on the Plan or the Confirmation Order in lieu of such legal opinion) created or entered into in connection with any of the foregoing, the funding of the Plan, the occurrence of the Effective Date, the pursuit of Confirmation, the pursuit of Consummation, the administration and implementation of the Plan, including the Definitive Documents, the issuance of securities pursuant to the Plan, the issuance of the New Common Stock, and the New Warrants pursuant to the Plan, or the distribution of property under the Plan or any other related agreement, except for claims related to any act or omission that is determined in a Final Order to have constituted actual fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct; provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to release, affect, or limit any post-Effective Date rights or obligations of the Exculpated Parties under the Plan, the Exit Facilities, any Restructuring Transaction, or any Definitive Document (including those set forth in the Plan Supplement), or other document, instrument, or agreement executed to implement the Plan.
The Exculpated Parties have, and upon Consummation 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.
100
Nothing in the Plan shall limit the liability of attorneys to their respective clients pursuant to Rule 1.8(h) of the New York Rules of Professional Conduct.

G.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or for obligations issued or required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the Confirmation Order, all Entities that have held, hold, or may hold claims or interests that have been released pursuant to Article X.D or Article X.E of the Plan or discharged pursuant to Article X.B of the Plan, or are subject to exculpation pursuant to Article X.F of the Plan, shall be permanently enjoined, from and after the Effective Date, from taking any of the following actions against, as applicable, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Exculpated Parties, or the Released Parties: (1) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such claims or interests; (2) enforcing, attaching, collecting, or recovering by any manner or means any judgment, award, decree, or order against such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such claims or interests; (3) creating, perfecting, or enforcing any lien or encumbrance of any kind against such Entities or the property or the estates of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such claims or interests; (4) asserting any right of setoff, subrogation, or recoupment of any kind against any obligation due from such Entities or against the property of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such claims or interests unless such Entity has, on or before the Effective Date, asserted such setoff right in a document filed with the Bankruptcy Court explicitly preserving such setoff, and notwithstanding an indication of a claim or interest or otherwise that such Entity asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of setoff pursuant to applicable law or otherwise; and (5) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such claims or interests released or settled pursuant to the Plan.

All injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

I.
Recoupment
In no event shall any Holder of a Claim be entitled to recoup such Claim against any Claim, right, or Cause of Action of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, unless such Holder actually has performed such recoupment and provided notice thereof in writing to the Debtors on or before the Confirmation Date, notwithstanding any indication in any Proof of Claim or otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of recoupment.
101

J.
Protection Against Discriminatory Treatment
In accordance with section 525 of the Bankruptcy Code, and consistent with paragraph 2 of Article VI of the United States Constitution, all Entities, including Governmental Units, shall not discriminate against any Reorganized Debtor, or deny, revoke, suspend, or refuse to renew a license, permit, charter, franchise, or other similar grant to, condition such a grant to, discriminate with respect to such a grant against, the Reorganized Debtors, or another Entity with whom the Reorganized Debtors have been associated, solely because each Debtor has been a debtor under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, has been insolvent before the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases (or during the Chapter 11 Cases but before the Debtors are granted or denied a discharge), or has not paid a debt that is dischargeable in the Chapter 11 Cases.

K.
Direct Action Claims
Subject to Articles VII.F and VIII.L.3 of the Plan, nothing contained in the Plan shall impair or otherwise affect the right, if any, of a Holder of a Claim, under applicable non-bankruptcy law, to assert direct claims solely against the Debtors' insurers. Except as explicitly set forth in Articles VII.G.5, IX.A.6, and VIII.L.3 of the Plan, nothing in the Plan grants the Holder of any Claim relief from the automatic stay of Bankruptcy Code section 362(a) or the injunction set forth in Article X.G of the Plan.

L.
Qualified Pension Plans
Nothing in the Chapter 11 Cases, the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or any other document filed in the Chapter 11 Cases shall be construed to discharge, release, limit, or relieve any individual from any claim by the PBGC or the Qualified Pension Plans for breach of any fiduciary duty under ERISA, including prohibited transactions, with respect to the Qualified Pension Plans, subject to any and all applicable rights and defenses of such parties, which are expressly preserved. PBGC and the Qualified Pension Plans shall not be enjoined or precluded from enforcing such fiduciary duty or related liability by any of the provisions of the Disclosure Statement, Plan, Confirmation Order, Bankruptcy Code, or other document filed in the Chapter 11 Cases. For the avoidance of doubt, the Reorganized Debtors shall not be released from any liability or obligation under ERISA, the IRC, and any other applicable law relating to the Qualified Pension Plans.

M.
Regulatory Activities
Notwithstanding any language to the contrary contained in the Disclosure Statement, Plan, or Confirmation Order, no provision shall (1) preclude the SEC or any other Governmental Unit from enforcing its police or regulatory powers or (2) enjoin, limit, impair, or delay the SEC from commencing or continuing any claims, causes of action, proceedings, or investigations against any non-Debtor person or non-Debtor entity in any forum.

All injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

K.
Severability of Plan Provisions
If, before Confirmation, any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court, at the request of the Debtors, with the consent of the Required Consenting BrandCo Lenders, and, solely to the extent required under the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Creditors' Committee and the Required Consenting 2016 Lenders, shall have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, and such term or provision shall then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated by such holding, alteration, or interpretation. The Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is: (1) valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms; (2) integral to the Plan and may not be deleted or modified without the Debtors' or Reorganized Debtors' consent, consistent with the terms set forth herein; and (3) non-severable and mutually dependent.
