obligation to recognize or deal with any party other than the non-Debtor party to the underlying executory contract or lease, even if such non-Debtor party has sold, assigned or otherwise transferred its Claim for a Cure Amount. The Debtors and the
Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes hereunder only with those record holders stated on the transfer ledgers as of the close of business on the applicable Distribution Record Date, to the extent applicable.

  

 25 

	 	8.5.	Disbursing Agent and CPR Administrator. 

 All distributions under this Plan initially shall be made by the Debtors or the Disbursing Agent on and/or after the Effective Date as provided herein. The CPR Administrator shall distribute CPR Administrator Rights
Notices to eligible holders setting forth such holders’ Distribution Rights. Neither the CPR Administrator nor a Reorganized Debtor acting as Disbursing Agent shall be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of
its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. If the Disbursing Agent is not the CPR Administrator or one of the Reorganized Debtors, such entity shall obtain a bond or surety for the performance of its duties, and all costs and
expenses of procuring any such bond or surety shall be borne by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors. 
  

	 	8.6.	Surrender of Cancelled Instruments or Securities. 

 As a condition precedent to any holder of a Senior Secured Note Claim receiving any Plan Distribution on account of an Allowed Senior Secured Note Claim, unless waived in writing by the Reorganized Debtors, the
Indenture Trustee shall certify in writing to the Reorganized Debtors that (a) the holder of such Senior Secured Note Claim has properly tendered the Senior Secured Note(s) to be cancelled pursuant to this Plan in accordance with a letter of
transmittal to be provided to such holders by the Disbursing Agent on the Effective Date or as promptly as practicable, which letter of transmittal will include customary provisions with respect to the authority of the holder of such Senior Secured
Note(s) to act and the authenticity of any signatures required thereon, and (b) such Senior Secured Note has been marked as cancelled. Such certification of the Indenture Trustee shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Reorganized Debtors and shall be distributed by the Disbursing Agent promptly after the Effective Date (a “Trustee Certification”). 
 All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), and acceptance of a Trustee Certification will be resolved by the Disbursing Agent, whose determination shall be final and binding,
subject only to review by the Bankruptcy Court upon application with due notice to any affected parties in interest. 
 Any
Plan Distributions and any Cash to be distributed pursuant to the Plan on account of any such Senior Secured Note Claim shall, pending such certification by the Indenture Trustee, be treated as an undeliverable distribution pursuant to
Section 8.9. 
  

 26 

	 	8.7.	Failure to Surrender Cancelled Instruments. 

 Unless a Trustee Certification certifying that a holder of a Senior Secured Note Claim has surrendered, or is deemed to have surrendered, its Senior Secured Note(s) required to be tendered is received by the
Disbursing Agent within one year after the Effective Date, such holder of a Senior Secured Note Claim shall have its Claim for a distribution pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claim discharged and shall be forever barred from asserting any
such Claim against the Debtors or their property. In such cases, any distribution on account of such Claim or Interest shall be disposed of pursuant to the provisions set forth below in Section 8.8. 
  

	 	8.8.	Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Debt Securities. 

 In addition to any requirements under the Indenture, or any related agreement, a Trustee Certification must be submitted to the Disbursing Agent regarding any document evidencing a Senior Secured Note Claim that has
been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, which Trustee Certification shall state that, in lieu of surrendering such certificate or security, the holder of such Senior Secured Note has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture
Trustee of the loss, theft, mutilation or destruction. In addition, such holder must also provide such security or indemnity as may be required by the Reorganized Debtors, or the Disbursing Agent to hold such entities harmless from any damages,
liabilities or costs incurred in treating such individual as a holder of an Allowed Claim. Upon compliance with this Section 8.8 by a holder of a Claim, such holder shall, for all purposes under the Plan, be deemed to have surrendered such
security. Any holder for a Senior Secured Note Claim for which a Trustee Certification in compliance with Sections 8.6 and 8.8 hereof is not received by the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent, or, if required, fails to execute and deliver
security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent before the one year anniversary of the Effective Date shall be deemed to have forfeited all Claims on account of such Senior Secured Notes and may not
participate in any distribution under the Plan in respect of such Claims. Any distribution so forfeited shall become the sole and exclusive property of the Reorganized Debtors. 
  

	 	8.9.	Delivery of Distribution. 

 (a) On or immediately after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent will issue, or cause to be issued, and authenticate, as applicable, the applicable Plan Consideration, and subject to Bankruptcy Rule 9010,
unless otherwise provided herein, make all distributions to any holder of an Allowed Claim at (a) the address of such holder on the books and records of the Debtors or their agents, (b) at the address in any written notice of address
change delivered to the Debtors or the Disbursing Agent, including any addresses included on any filed proofs of Claim or Interest, or (c) in the case of a holder of a Senior Secured Note Claim, at the address in the Indenture Trustee’s
official records. 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 been notified of the then current address of such holder, at
which time or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter such distribution shall be made to such holder without interest, provided, however, such distributions shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy
Code at the expiration of the later of one year from (a) the Effective Date and (b) the date such holder’s Claim or Interest is Allowed. 
  

 27 

 (b) The CPR Administrator shall make all distributions to any eligible holder of an
Allowed Existing Common Stock Interest at the address set forth in the Rights Registry (as defined in the CPR Agreement) and as updated in accordance with the terms of the CPR Agreement. 
  

	 	8.10. Unclaimed	Property. 

 One year from the
later of (a) the Effective Date, and (b) the date a Claim or Interest is first Allowed, all unclaimed property or interests in property shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors, and the Claim or Interest of any other 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, proofs of Claim or Interest filed against the Debtors, properly completed Letters of Transmittal, and in the case of holders of Senior Secured Note Claims, the official records of the Indenture Trustee. The CPR Administrator shall have no
obligation to attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed Existing Common Stock Interest (or its Permitted Transferee, as defined in the CPR Agreement) other than by reviewing the Rights Registry (as defined in the CPR Agreement). 
  

	 	8.11.	 Satisfaction of Claims and Interests. 

 Unless otherwise provided herein, any distributions and deliveries to be made on account of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests hereunder shall be in complete settlement, satisfaction and discharge of such Allowed
Claims and Allowed Interests. 
  

	 	8.12. Manner	of Payment Under Plan. 

 Except as specifically provided herein, at the option of the Debtors, any Cash payment to be made hereunder may be made by a check or wire transfer or as otherwise required or provided in applicable agreements or customary practices of the
Debtors. 
  

	 	8.13.	 Fractional Shares. 

 No
fractional shares of New Common Stock or Cash shall be distributed. For purposes of distribution, fractional shares of New Common Stock or Cash shall be rounded down to the next whole number or zero, as applicable. Neither the Reorganized Debtors
nor the Disbursing Agent shall have any obligation to make a distribution that is less than one (1) share of New Common Stock or $10.00 in Cash. Fractional shares of New Common Stock shares that are not distributed in accordance with this
Section 8.13 shall be returned to the Reorganized Debtors and cancelled. 
  

	 	8.14.	 No Distribution in Excess of Amount of Allowed Claim. 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no holder of an Allowed Claim shall, on account of such Allowed Claim, receive a Plan Distribution (of a value set forth herein) in excess of the Allowed amount of such
Claim plus postpetition interest on such Claim, to the extent provided in Section 8.2 herein. 
  

 28 

	 	8.15.	 Exemption from Securities Laws. 

 The issuance of the Plan Securities pursuant to this Plan shall be exempt from registration pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code to the maximum extent permitted thereunder, and the Plan Securities may be
resold by the holders thereof without restriction, except to the extent that any such holder is deemed to be an “underwriter” as defined in section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Failure of the Plan Securities to be deemed exempt under
section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable U.S. federal securities laws exemption shall not be a condition to occurrence of the Effective Date of the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the CPR Administrator Rights Notices and the
Distributions Rights do not constitute securities as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101(49) and are not being issued pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. 
  

	 	8.16.	 Setoffs and Recoupments. 

 Each Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, or such entity’s designee as instructed by such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, may, pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law, setoff and/or recoup against
any Allowed Claim (other than an Allowed Claim held by a Consenting Holder) or Allowed Interest, and the distributions to be made pursuant to this Plan on account of such Allowed Claim (other than an Allowed Claim held by a Consenting Holder) or
Allowed Interest, any and all claims, rights and Causes of Action that the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor or their successors may hold against the holder of such Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest; provided, however, that neither
the failure to effect a setoff or recoupment nor the allowance of any Claim or Allowed Interest hereunder will constitute a waiver or release by the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor or their successors of any and all claims, rights and Causes of
Action that the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor or their successors may possess against such holder. 
  

	 	8.17.	 Rights and Powers of Disbursing Agent. 

 (a) Powers of the Disbursing Agent. The Disbursing Agent shall be empowered to (i) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments, and other documents necessary to perform its duties under this
Plan, (ii) make all distributions contemplated hereby, (iii) employ professionals to represent it with respect to its responsibilities, and (iv) exercise such other powers as may be vested in the Disbursing Agent by order of the
Bankruptcy Court (including any order issued after the Effective Date), pursuant to this Plan, or as deemed by the Disbursing Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions hereof. 
 (b) Expenses Incurred On or After the Effective Date. Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, and subject to the
written agreement of the Reorganized Debtors, the amount of any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent on or after the Effective Date (including, without limitation, taxes) and any reasonable compensation and expense
reimbursement Claims (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney and other professional fees and expenses) made by the Disbursing Agent shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors. 
  

 29 

	 	8.18.	 Withholding and Reporting Requirements. 

 In connection with this Plan and all distributions thereunder, the Debtors shall comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority, and all Plan
Distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. The Debtors shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements,
including, without limitation, liquidating a portion of any Plan Distribution to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes or establishing any other mechanisms the Debtors or the Disbursing Agent believe are reasonable and
appropriate, including requiring a holder of a Claim to submit appropriate tax and withholding certifications. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, (a) each holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest that is to receive a
distribution under this Plan shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any governmental unit, including income, withholding and other tax obligations on account of such
distribution, and (b) no Plan Distributions shall be required to be made to or on behalf of such holder pursuant to this Plan unless and until such holder has made arrangements satisfactory to the Reorganized Debtors for the payment and
satisfaction of such tax obligations or has, to the Reorganized Debtors’ satisfaction, established an exemption therefrom. 
  

	 	8.19.	 Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act. 

 Any New Common Stock to be distributed under the Plan to an entity required to file a Premerger Notification and Report Form under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, shall not be
distributed until the notification and waiting periods applicable under such Act to such entity shall have expired or been terminated. In the event any applicable notification and waiting periods do not expire without objection, the Debtors or their
agent shall, in their sole discretion, be entitled to sell such entity’s shares of New Common Stock that were to be distributed under the Plan to such entity, and thereafter shall distribute the proceeds of the sale to such entity. 

ARTICLE IX. 
 PROCEDURES FOR
RESOLVING CLAIMS 
  

	 	9.1.	Objections to Claims. 

 Other than with respect to Fee Claims, only the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and the Consenting Holders (the “Objecting Parties”) shall be entitled to object to Claims after the Effective Date. Any objections to
Claims (other than Fee Claims), which Claims have been filed on or before the Confirmation Date, shall be served and filed on or before the later of: (a) thirty (30) days after the Effective Date; or (b) such other date as may be
fixed by the Bankruptcy Court, whether fixed before or after the date specified in clause (a) hereof. Any Claims filed after the Bar Date or Administrative Bar Date, as applicable, shall be deemed disallowed and expunged in their entirety
without further order of the Bankruptcy Court or any action being required on the part of any Objecting Party, unless the Person or entity wishing to file such Claim has received prior Bankruptcy Court authority to file such Claim after the Bar

  

 30 

 
Date or the Administrative Bar Date, as applicable. Notwithstanding any authority to the contrary, an objection to a Claim shall be deemed properly served on
the claimant if an Objecting Party effects service in any of the following manners: (a) in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4, as modified and made applicable by Bankruptcy Rule 7004; (b) by first class mail, postage
prepaid, on the signatory on the proof of claim as well as all other representatives identified in the proof of claim or any attachment thereto; or (c) by first class mail, postage prepaid, on any counsel that has appeared on the
claimant’s behalf in the Reorganization Cases (so long as such appearance has not been subsequently withdrawn). From and after the Effective Date, any Objecting Party may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without approval of the
Bankruptcy Court. 
  

	 	9.2.	Disputed Claims and Interests. 

  

	 	(a)	No Distributions Pending Allowance. 

 Except as provided in this Section 9.2, Disputed Claims and Interests shall not be entitled to any Plan Distributions or Distribution Rights unless and until such Claims or Interests become Allowed Claims or Allowed Interests.

  

	 	(b)	Plan Distributions to Holders of Subsequently Allowed Claims. 

 On each Quarterly Distribution Date (or such earlier date as determined by the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent in their sole discretion but subject to Section 9.2 of this Plan), the Disbursing Agent
will make distributions (i) on account of any Disputed Claim that has become an Allowed Claim during the preceding calendar quarter, and (ii) on account of previously Allowed Claims of property that would have been distributed to the
holders of such Claims on the dates distributions previously were made to holders of Allowed Claims in such Class had the Disputed Claims that have become Allowed Claims been Allowed on such dates. The Disbursing Agent shall distribute in respect of
such newly Allowed Claims the Plan Consideration as to which such Claims would have been entitled under this Plan if such newly Allowed Claims were fully or partially Allowed, as the case may be, on the Effective Date, less direct and actual
expenses, fees, or other direct costs of maintaining Plan Consideration on account of such Disputed Claims; provided, however, that no such distributions shall be made on account of any Disputed Claim that has become an
Allowed Claim until such time as the Disbursing Agent shall determine that such distribution is practicable. 
  

	 	(c)	Distribution Rights Allocable to Disputed Existing Common Stock Interests. 

  

	 	(i)	With respect to Disputed Existing Common Stock Interests, the CPR Administrator shall hold (A) all Distribution Rights that would otherwise be allocable under this Plan in
respect of Disputed Existing Common Stock Interests if such Interests were Allowed Interests as of the Effective Date, and (B) all CPR Distributions which would otherwise be distributable under the CPR Agreement to the holders of such reserved
Distribution Rights. 

  

 31 

	 	(ii)	To the extent a Disputed Existing Common Stock Interest becomes Allowed in full or in part (in accordance with the procedures set forth herein), the CPR Administrator shall
distribute in respect of such newly Allowed Interest, as soon as practicable thereafter, all (A) reserved Distribution Rights to which the holder of such Existing Common Stock Interest would have been entitled if such newly Allowed Interest
were fully or partially Allowed, as the case may be, on the Effective Date, and (B) reserved CPR Distributions which would have been distributed in respect of such reserved Distribution Rights if such Interest were fully or partially Allowed,
as the case may be, on the Effective Date, provided that the CPR Administrator may direct the withholding of distributions of the reserved Distribution Rights or CPR Distributions until any cost or expense associated with maintaining such
Distribution Rights accruing after the Effective Date is paid. Notwithstanding any provision herein, no distributions of Distribution Rights or CPR Distributions shall be made to a holder of a Disputed Existing Common Stock Interest that has become
an Allowed Interest until such time as the CPR Administrator shall determine that such distribution is practicable. 

  

	 	(d)	Distribution of Reserved Plan Consideration Upon Disallowance. 

 To the extent any Disputed Claim has become Disallowed in full or in part (in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Plan), any Plan Consideration held by the Reorganized Debtors on account of such Disputed
Claim shall become the sole and exclusive property of the Reorganized Debtors. 
 To the extent a Disputed Existing Common
Stock Interest becomes Disallowed in whole or in part, any Distribution Rights or CPR Distributions reserved on account of such Disallowed Interest shall become the sole and exclusive property of the Reorganized Debtors, to the extent of such
Disallowance. 
  

	 	9.3.	Estimation of Claims. 

 Any Debtor or holder of a Claim may request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for purposes of determining the Allowed amount of such Claim regardless of whether any Objecting
Party has previously 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 Claim for purposes of determining the allowed amount of such Claim at any
time. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim, that estimated amount will constitute either the Allowed amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on such Claim, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court.
If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on such Claim, any Objecting Party may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate payment on such Claim. All of the objection, estimation, settlement, and
resolution procedures set forth in the Plan are cumulative and not necessarily exclusive of one another. 
  

 32 

 ARTICLE X. 
 EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES 
  

	 	10.1.	 General Treatment. 

 As
of and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date and the payment of the applicable Cure Amount, all executory contracts and unexpired leases to which any Debtor is a party shall be deemed assumed, except for any executory contracts or
unexpired leases that: (a) previously have been assumed or rejected pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court; (b) are designated specifically or by category as a contract or lease to be rejected on the Schedule of Rejected
Contracts and Leases, if any; or (c) are the subject of a separate motion to assume or reject under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code pending on the Effective Date. As of and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, all contracts
identified on the Schedule of Rejected Contracts and Leases shall be deemed rejected, which schedule shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Hillside. Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, entry of the Confirmation Order
by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of such assumptions and rejections pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Each executory contract and unexpired lease assumed pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall revest in
and be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as modified by the provisions of the Plan, or any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption or applicable federal
law. 
  

	 	10.2.	 Completion of Non-Assignable Contract. 

 If the Bankruptcy Court, or another court of competent jurisdiction, determines that a contract is unable to be assumed and/or assumed and assigned pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code (a
“Non-assignable Contract”), then this Plan shall not constitute any Debtor’s agreement to assign such Non-assignable Contract if such attempted assignment would be unlawful. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the
contrary, on the Effective Date, the Debtors shall retain all rights to the Non-assignable Contracts and shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain any consent, approval or amendment, if any, required to novate, assume and/or assume and
assign any Non-assignable Contract. 
  

	 	10.3.	 Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases. 

 All Allowed Claims arising from the rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases, if any, will be treated as General Unsecured
Claims, subject to any limitation on allowance of such Claims under section 502(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, in the event that the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease
by the Debtors pursuant to this Plan results in damages to the other party or parties to such contract or lease, a Claim for such damages shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors, or their properties or interests in
property as agents, successors, or assigns, unless a proof of such Claim has been filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served upon counsel for the Debtors on or before the date, and in the form and manner set forth in the order authorizing the
rejection which order may be the Confirmation Order. 
  

 33 

	 	10.4.	 Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. 

 (a) Except to the extent that different treatment has been agreed to by the non-Debtor party or parties to any executory contract or
unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Plan, any monetary amounts by which each executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan is in default shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of
the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the default amount (the “Cure Amount”) in Cash within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date or on such other less favorable terms to the non-Debtor party as the parties to such
executory contracts or unexpired leases may otherwise agree. 
 (b) No later than five (5) days prior to the commencement
of the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtor shall file a schedule (the “Cure Schedule”) setting forth the Cure Amount, if any, for each executory contract or unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to Section 10.1 of the
Plan. Any party that fails to object to the applicable Cure Amount listed on the Cure Schedule within twenty (20) days of the filing thereof, shall be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from disputing the Cure Amount set forth on the Cure
Schedule (including a Cure Amount of $0.00) and/or from asserting any claim against the Debtor arising under section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code except as set forth on the Cure Schedule. 
 (c) In the event of a dispute (each, a “Cure Dispute”) regarding: (i) the Cure Amount; (ii) the ability
of the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed; or (iii) any other matter
pertaining to assumption, the cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving the Cure Dispute and approving the assumption. To the extent a Cure Dispute relates solely
to the Cure Amount, the Debtor may assume and/or assume and assign the subject contract prior to resolution of the Cure Dispute provided that the Debtor reserves Cash in an amount sufficient to pay the full amount asserted by the non-Debtor party to
the subject contract (or such other amount as may be fixed or estimated by the Bankruptcy Court). 
  

	 	10.5.	 Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees. 

 For purposes of the Plan, the obligation of a Debtor to indemnify and reimburse any Person or entity serving at any time on or after the Commencement Date as one of its directors, officers or employees by reason of
such Person’s or entity’s service in such capacity, or as a director, officer or employee of any other corporation or legal entity, to the extent provided in such Debtor’s constituent documents, a written agreement with the Debtor, in
accordance with any applicable law, or any combination of the foregoing, shall survive confirmation of the Plan and the Effective Date, remain unaffected thereby, become an obligation of the Reorganized Debtors, and not be discharged in accordance
with section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, irrespective of whether indemnification or reimbursement is owed in connection with an event occurring before, on, or after the Commencement Date. 
  

 34

 The Debtors and the Consenting Holders shall have the right to jointly waive one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections
11.1(a)-(b) of this Plan at any time without leave of or notice to the Bankruptcy Court and without formal action other than proceeding with confirmation of the Plan. Hillside shall have the sole right to waive one or more of the conditions

 36

 If all of the conditions to effectiveness and the occurrence of the Effective Date have not been satisfied or duly waived on or before the first Business Day that is more than 60 days after the Confirmation Date, or

	 	12.1.	 Binding Effect. 

 This
Plan shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the Debtors, all present and former holders of Claims and Interests, and their respective successors and assigns. 
  

	 	12.2.	 Vesting of Assets. 

 On
the Effective Date, pursuant to sections 1141(b) and (c) of the Bankruptcy Code, all property of the Estates shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors, free and clear of all Claims, liens, encumbrances, charges, and other interests, except as
provided herein or in the Confirmation Order. The Reorganized Debtors may operate their businesses and may use, acquire, and dispose of property free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules and in all respects as if there
were no pending case under any chapter or provision of the Bankruptcy Code, except as provided herein. 
  

	 	12.3.	 Discharge of Claims Against and Interests in the Debtors. 

 Upon the Effective Date and in consideration of the distributions to be made hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein or in the
Confirmation Order, each holder (as well as any trustees and agents on behalf of each holder) of a Claim or Interest and any affiliate of such holder shall be deemed to have forever waived, released, and discharged the Debtors, to the fullest extent
permitted by section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, of and from any and all Claims, Interests, rights, and liabilities that arose prior to the Effective Date. Except as otherwise provided herein, upon the Effective Date, all such holders of Claims and
Interests and their affiliates shall be forever precluded and enjoined, pursuant to sections 105, 524, 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, from prosecuting or asserting any such discharged Claim against or terminated Interest in the Debtors. 
  

 37 

	 	12.4.	 Term of Pre-Confirmation Injunctions or Stays. 

 Unless otherwise provided herein, all injunctions or stays arising prior to the Confirmation Date in accordance with sections 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise, and in existence on the Confirmation Date,
shall remain in full force and effect until the Effective Date. 
  

	 	12.5.	 Injunction Against Interference With Plan. 

 Upon the entry of the Confirmation Order, all holders of Claims and Interests and other parties in interest, along with their respective present or former affiliates, employees, agents, officers, directors, or
principals, shall be enjoined from taking any actions to interfere with the implementation or consummation of this Plan. 
  

	 	12.6. 	Injunction. 

 (a)
Except as otherwise provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, as of the Confirmation Date, but subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, all Persons who have held, hold or may hold Claims against or Interests in the Debtors or the
Estates are, with respect to any such Claims or Interests, permanently enjoined after the Confirmation Date from: (i) commencing, conducting or continuing in any manner, directly or indirectly, any suit, action or other proceeding of any kind
(including, without limitation, any proceeding in a judicial, arbitral, administrative or other forum) against or affecting the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Estates or any of their property, the Consenting Holders, or any direct or indirect
transferee of any property of, or direct or indirect successor in interest to, any of the foregoing Persons or any property of any such transferee or successor; (ii) enforcing, levying, attaching (including, without limitation, any pre-judgment
attachment), collecting or otherwise recovering by any manner or means, whether directly or indirectly, any judgment, award, decree or order against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Estates or any of their property, the Consenting
Holders, or any direct or indirect transferee of any property of, or direct or indirect successor in interest to, any of the foregoing Persons, or any property of any such transferee or successor; (iii) creating, perfecting or otherwise
enforcing in any manner, directly or indirectly, any encumbrance of any kind against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Estates or any of their property, the Consenting Holders or any direct or indirect transferee of any property of, or
successor in interest to, any of the foregoing Persons; (iv) acting or proceeding in any manner, in any place whatsoever, that does not conform to or comply with the provisions of this Plan to the full extent permitted by applicable law; and
(v) commencing or continuing, in any manner or in any place, any action that does not comply with or is inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall preclude such persons
from exercising their rights pursuant to and consistent with the terms of this Plan. 
 (b) By accepting
distributions pursuant to this Plan, each holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest shall be deemed to have specifically consented to the injunctions set forth herein. 
  

 38 

	 	12.7.	 Releases. 

 (a) Releases by the Debtors. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, as of the Effective Date, each Debtor, in its individual capacity and as a debtor in possession, shall be deemed to forever
release, waive and discharge all claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, causes of action and liabilities (other than the rights of the Debtors to enforce this Plan and the contracts, instruments, releases, indentures
and other agreements or documents delivered thereunder) whether liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, then existing or thereafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise that
are based in whole or in part on any act, omission, transaction, event or other occurrence taking place on or prior to the Effective Date in any way relating to the Debtors, the parties released pursuant to this Section 12.7, the Reorganization
Cases, this Plan or the Disclosure Statement, and that could have been asserted by or on behalf of the Debtors or their Estates, whether directly, indirectly, derivatively or in any representative or any other capacity, against any Released Party;
provided, however, that (i) that the releases set forth in this Section 12.7(a) shall not release any Debtor’s claims, rights, or causes of action for money borrowed from or owed to a Debtor or its Subsidiary by any of
its directors, officers or former employees as set forth in such Debtors’ or Subsidiary’s books and records, and (ii) in no event shall anything in this Section 12.7(a) be construed as a release of any Person’s fraud, gross
negligence or willful misconduct for matters with respect to the Debtors and their Subsidiaries and/or affiliates. No attorney of any Released Party shall be released by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors solely to the extent that it would
contravene DR 6-102 of the New York Code of Professional Responsibility or similar ethical rules of another jurisdiction which are binding on such attorney. 
 (b) Releases by Holders of Claims and Interests. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, on
the Effective Date, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, as such law may be extended or interpreted subsequent to the Effective Date, all holders of Claims and Interests, in consideration for the obligations of the Debtors under
this Plan, the Plan Distributions, the Plan Securities and other contracts, instruments, releases, agreements or documents executed and delivered in connection with this Plan, and each entity (other than a Debtor) that has held, holds or may hold a
Claim or Interest, as applicable, will be deemed to have consented to this Plan for all purposes and the restructuring embodied herein and deemed to forever release, waive and discharge all claims, demands, debts, rights, causes of action or
liabilities (other than the right to enforce the obligations of any party under this Plan and the contracts, instruments, releases, agreements and documents delivered under or in connection with this Plan), including, without limitation, any claims
for any such loss such holder may suffer, have suffered or be alleged to suffer as a result of the Debtors commencing the Reorganization Cases or as a result of this Plan being consummated, whether liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent,
matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, then existing or thereafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise that are based in whole or in part on any act or omission, transaction, event or other occurrence taking place on or
prior to the Effective Date in any way relating to the Debtors, the Reorganization Cases, this Plan or the Disclosure Statement against any Released Party; provided, however, that in no event shall anything in this Section 12.7(b)
be construed as a release of any Person’s fraud or willful misconduct for matters with respect to the Debtors and their Subsidiaries and/or affiliates. 
  

 39 

 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except to the
extent permissible under applicable law, as such law may be extended or interpreted subsequent to the Effective Date, the releases provided for in this Section 12.7 of the Plan shall not release any non-Debtor entity from any liability arising
under (i) the Internal Revenue Code or any state, city or municipal tax code, (ii) the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, (iii) any criminal laws of the United States or any state, city or municipality, and
(iv) federal securities laws of the United States. 
  

	 	12.8.	 Exculpation and Limitation of Liability. 

 None of the Released Parties shall have or incur any liability to any holder of any Claim or Interest for any act or omission in connection with, or arising out of the Debtors’ restructuring, including without
limitation the negotiation and execution of this Plan, the Reorganization Cases, the Disclosure Statement, the solicitation of votes for and the pursuit of this Plan, the consummation of this Plan, or the administration of this Plan or the property
to be distributed under this Plan, including, without limitation, all documents ancillary thereto, all decisions, actions, inactions and alleged negligence or misconduct relating thereto and all prepetition activities leading to the promulgation and
confirmation of this Plan except fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct as determined by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court. The Released Parties shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and
responsibilities under this Plan; provided, however, solely to the extent that it would contravene DR 6-102 of the New York Code of Professional Responsibility or any similar ethical rules of another jurisdiction, if binding on an
attorney of a Released Party, no attorney of any Released Party shall be released by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors. 
  

	 	12.9.	 Injunction Related to Releases and Exculpation. 

 The Confirmation Order shall permanently enjoin the commencement or prosecution by any person or entity, whether directly, derivatively or otherwise, of any Claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands,
debts, rights, Causes of Action or liabilities released pursuant to this Plan, including but not limited to the claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, causes of action or liabilities released in Sections 12.7 and
12.8 of this Plan. 
  

	 	12.10. 	Termination of Subordination Rights and Settlement of Related Claims. 

 (a) Except as provided herein, the classification and manner of satisfying all Claims and Interests and the respective distributions and
treatments under the Plan take into account or conform to the relative priority and rights of the Claims and Interests in each Class in connection with any contractual, legal and equitable subordination rights relating thereto whether arising under
general principles of equitable subordination, section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, and any and all such rights are settled, compromised and released pursuant to the Plan. The Confirmation Order shall permanently enjoin, effective as
of the Effective Date, all Persons and Entities from enforcing or attempting to enforce any such contractual, legal and equitable rights satisfied, compromised and settled pursuant to this Plan. 
  

 40 

 (b) Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and in consideration of the distributions and other
benefits provided under this Plan, the provisions of this Plan will constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all claims or controversies relating to the subordination rights that a holder of a Claim or Interest may have or any
distribution to be made pursuant to this Plan on account of such Claim or Interest. Entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, as of the Effective Date, of the compromise or settlement of all such claims or
controversies and the Bankruptcy Court’s finding that such compromise or settlement is in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates, and holders of Claims and Interests, and is fair, equitable and reasonable. 
  

	 	12.11. 	Retention of Causes of Action/Reservation of Rights. 

 (a) Subject to Section 12.12 hereof, nothing contained in this Plan or the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to be a waiver or the relinquishment of any rights, Claims or Causes of Action that the Debtors may
have or may choose to assert on behalf of the Estates or themselves in accordance with any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable non-bankruptcy law, including, without limitation: (i) any and all Claims against any Person, to the
extent such Person asserts a crossclaim, counterclaim, and/or Claim for setoff which seeks affirmative relief against a Debtor or any of its officers, directors, or representatives; (ii) the turnover of any property of the Estates; and/or
(iii) Claims against other third parties. 
 (b) Nothing contained in this Plan or the Confirmation Order shall be deemed
to be a waiver or relinquishment of any Claim, Cause of Action, right of setoff, or other legal or equitable defense that the Debtors had immediately prior to the Commencement Date, against or with respect to any Claim left unimpaired by this Plan
as set forth in Section 4.2 of this Plan. The Debtors shall have, retain, reserve, and be entitled to assert all such Claims, Causes of Action, rights of setoff, or other legal or equitable defenses which the Debtors had immediately prior to
the Commencement Date as fully as if the Reorganization Cases had not been commenced, and all of the Debtors’ legal and/or equitable rights respecting any Claim left unimpaired by this Plan may be asserted after the Confirmation Date to the
same extent as if the Reorganization Cases had not been commenced. 
  

	 	12.12. 	Avoidance Actions. 

 Subject
to the occurrence of the Effective Date, neither the Debtors, the Creditors’ Committee, nor any other party in interest shall assert any right, Claim or Cause of Action not asserted by a Debtor prior to the Effective Date and belonging to a
Debtor or its Estate against any Person to avoid a transfer under section 544, 547, 548, or 553(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, of any similar state law, provided, however; that nothing herein shall prohibit the Debtors, the Reorganized
Debtors, or the Creditors’ Committee from challenging the validity, priority, perfection or extent of any lien, mortgage or security agreement or, subject to Section 9.1 hereof, objecting to any Claim. All such rights, Claims and Causes of
Action shall be released and waived by the Debtors and their Estates under the Plan on the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing contained in this Plan shall prejudice any rights or defenses the Debtors
may have under section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code. 
  

 41 

 ARTICLE XIII. 
 RETENTION OF JURISDICTION 
 On and after the Effective Date, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain
jurisdiction, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1334 and 157, over all matters arising in, arising under, or related to the Reorganization Cases for, among other things, the following purposes: 
 (a) To hear and determine applications for the assumption or rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases and the allowance of

 (k) To take any action and issue such orders, including any such action or orders as may be necessary after occurrence of the Effective
Date and/or consummation of the Plan, as may be necessary to construe, enforce, implement, execute, and consummate this Plan, including any release or injunction provisions set forth herein, or to maintain the integrity of this Plan following
consummation;

whether a Claim or Interest is discharged hereunder, or for any other purpose; 
 (p) To hear any action relating to an
assertion of control group liability or environmental liability against Hillside as a result of the Reorganization Cases or the Plan; 
 (q) To recover all Assets of the Debtors and property of the Estates, wherever located; 
 (r)
To resolve any disputes concerning or arising out of the CPR Agreement; and

 ARTICLE XIV. 
 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
  

	 	14.1. 	Exemption from Certain Transfer Taxes. 

 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any transfer or encumbrance of assets or any portion(s) of assets pursuant to, or in furtherance of, or in connection with this Plan shall constitute a “transfer
under a plan” within the purview of section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code and shall not be subject to transfer, stamp or similar taxes. 
  

	 	14.2.	 Disallowance of Existing Securities Law Claims 

 All Existing Securities Law Claims shall be deemed disallowed and expunged in their entirety under and pursuant to this Plan without
further order of the Bankruptcy Court or any action being required on the part of the Debtors. 
  

 43 

	 	14.3.	 Retiree Benefits and Pension Plans. 

 On and after the Effective Date, pursuant to section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors shall continue to pay all retiree benefits (within the meaning of section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code), if any, at
the level established in accordance with section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code, at any time prior to the Confirmation Date, for the duration of the period for which the Debtor had obligated itself to provide such benefits. For the avoidance of doubt,
the obligations arising under the SERP do not constitute retiree benefits within the meaning of section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code. Nothing herein shall: (a) restrict the Debtors’ right to modify the terms and conditions of the retiree
benefits, if any, as otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms of the applicable plans or non-bankruptcy law; or (b) be construed as an admission that any such retiree benefits are owed by the Debtors. 
 Reorganized Ampex affirms and agrees that it will assume the Pension Plans and continue to be the contributing sponsor of those plans
according to the terms of ERISA, 29 U.S.C. §§ 1301-1461 (2000 & Supp. V 2005); that the Pension Plans are subject to minimum funding requirements of ERISA and section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code; that no provision of the
Confirmation Order, or section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall, or shall be construed to, discharge, release, or relieve the Debtor or any other party, in any capacity, from any government policy, or regulatory provision; and that neither the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”) nor the Pensions Plans shall be enjoined from enforcing such liability as a result of the Plan’s provisions for satisfaction, release and discharge of claims;
provided, however, that no provision herein or in the Disclosure Statement shall nullify or void the provisions or the effect of the Bar Date Order, or the provisions herein regarding creditors’ obligations to file timely an
Administrative Expense Claim. There will be no change, modification or termination of the PBGC Agreement. 
  

	 	14.4.	 Dissolution of Committee. 

 The Creditors’ Committee shall be automatically dissolved on the Effective Date and all members, employees or agents thereof shall be released and discharged from all rights and duties arising from, or related
to, the Reorganization Cases. 
  

	 	14.5.	 Termination of Professionals. 

 On the Effective Date, the engagement of each Professional Person retained by the Debtors and the Creditors’ Committee shall be terminated without further order of the Bankruptcy Court or act of the parties.

  

	 	14.6. 	Access 

 From
the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall cooperate with any Person that served as a director or officer of a Debtor at any time prior to the Effective Date, and any Consenting Holder (collectively, the “Accessing
Parties”), and make available to any Accessing Party such documents, books, records or information relating to the Debtors’ activities prior to the Effective Date that such Accessing Party may reasonably require in connection with
the defense or preparation for the defense of any claim against such Accessing Party relating to any action taken in connection with such Accessing Party’s role as a director or officer of a Debtor or, in the case of a Consenting Holder, any
action taken in connection with the negotiation, execution and implementation of this Plan, and the Reorganization Cases. 
  

 44 

	 	14.7.	 Amendments. 

 (a) Plan Modifications. This Plan may be amended, modified, or supplemented by the Debtors, with the consent of the Consenting Holders, in the manner provided for by section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, or as otherwise permitted by
law, without additional disclosure pursuant to section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code, except as the Bankruptcy Court may otherwise direct. In addition, after the Confirmation Date, so long as such action does not materially and adversely affect the
treatment of holders of Claims or Interests pursuant to this Plan, the Debtors may institute proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court to remedy any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistencies in this Plan, the Plan Documents and/or the
Confirmation Order, with respect to such matters as may be necessary to carry out the purposes and effects of this Plan. 
 (b) Other Amendments. Prior to the Effective Date the Debtors may make appropriate technical adjustments and modifications to this Plan without further order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, provided,
however, that, such technical adjustments and modifications do not adversely affect in a material way the treatment of holders of Claims or Interests. 
  

	 	14.8.	 Revocation or Withdrawal of this Plan. 

 The Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw this Plan prior to the Effective Date, provided that the Debtors shall obtain the Consenting Holders’ consent for any revocation or withdrawal of
this Plan. If the Debtors take such action, this Plan shall be deemed null and void. 
  

	 	14.9.	 Confirmation Order. 

 The Confirmation Order shall, and is hereby deemed to, ratify all transactions effected by the Debtors during the period commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the Confirmation Date except for any acts
constituting willful misconduct or fraud. 
  

	 	14.10.	 Severability. 

 If, prior to the entry of the Confirmation Order, any term or provision of this Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court, at the request of the Debtors, 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 this 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 this Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with
the foregoing, is valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms. 
  

 45 

	 	14.11. Governing	Law. 

 Except to the
extent that the Bankruptcy Code or other federal law is applicable, or to the extent a Plan Document provides otherwise, the rights, duties, and obligations arising under this Plan and the Plan Documents shall be governed by, and construed and
enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. 
  

	 	14.12. Section	1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

 The Debtors have, and upon confirmation of this Plan shall be deemed to have, solicited acceptances of this Plan in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and the Debtors
(and their affiliates, agents, directors, officers, employees, advisors, and attorneys) have participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code in the offer, issuance, sale, and purchase of the
securities offered and sold under this Plan, and therefore are not, and on account of such offer, issuance, sale, solicitation, and/or purchase will not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing
the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of this Plan or offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of the securities offered and sold under this Plan. 
  

	 	14.13. 	Time. 

 In
computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by this Plan, unless otherwise set forth herein or determined by the Bankruptcy Court, the provisions of Bankruptcy Rule 9006 shall apply. 
  

	 	14.14. 	Notices. 

 In
order to be effective, all notices, requests, and demands to or upon the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission) and, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made
