and equity interests against each of the Debtors. This Plan, though proposed jointly, constitutes

herein, the classifications set forth in Section 3.2 herein shall be deemed to apply separately
with respect to each plan proposed by each Debtor.

     Reference is made to the Disclosure Statement for a discussion of the Debtors’ history,

Code. This Plan further contemplates that holders of Prepetition Lender Claims will receive a
distribution consisting of the New Third Lien Term Loan, $85,800,000 in aggregate principal amount
of the New Convertible Secured Notes and Series E Warrants representing 1.5% of the fully-diluted

described herein, among other things, the Trust Assets shall be transferred to the Creditors’ Trust

jointly administered pursuant to an order of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western
District of Missouri.

     Under section 1125(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, a vote to accept or reject this Plan may not be

THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE VOTING TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THIS PLAN.

Nothing in this section shall constitute a waiver or release of any Retained Actions or Avoidance
Claims the Debtors may hold against any Person, including the Debtors’ insurance carriers; and
nothing in this section is intended to, shall, or shall be deemed to preclude any holder of an
Allowed Insured Claim from seeking and/or obtaining a distribution or other recovery from any
insurer of the Debtors in addition to (but not

A-35

 

in duplication of) any distribution such holder may receive under this Plan; provided,
however, that the Debtors do not waive, and expressly reserve their rights to assert that
any insurance coverage is property of the Estates to which they are entitled.

          (b) This Plan shall not expand the scope of, or alter in any other way, the rights and
obligations of the Debtors’ insurers under their policies, and the Debtors’ insurers shall retain
any and all defenses to coverage that such insurers may have, including the right to contest and/or
litigate with any party, including the Debtors, the existence, primacy and/or scope of available
coverage under any alleged applicable policy. This Plan shall not operate as a waiver of any other
Claims the Debtors’ insurers have asserted or may assert in any proof of claim or the Debtors’
rights and defenses to such proofs of claim.

     4.4 Reservation of Rights. Except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Plan, nothing shall
affect the Debtors’ or the Reorganized Debtors’ rights and defenses, both legal and equitable, with
respect to any Claims, including, but not limited to, all rights with respect to legal and
equitable defenses to alleged rights of setoff or recoupment of Claims. Except to the extent a
Reorganized Debtor expressly assumes an obligation or liability of a Debtor or another Reorganized
Debtor, this Plan shall not operate to impose liability on any Reorganized Debtor for the Claims
against any other Debtor or the debts and obligations of any other Debtor or Reorganized Debtor,
and from and after the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor, subject to the Restructuring
Transactions, will be separately liable for its own obligations.

dollar amount and more than one-half (1/2) in number of the Allowed Claims of such Class that have

right to alter, amend, modify, revoke or withdraw this Plan as it applies to the Debtors or any
particular Debtor. A determination by the Bankruptcy Court that this Plan, as it applies to the
Debtors or any particular Debtor, is not confirmable pursuant to section 1129 of the Bankruptcy
Code shall not limit or affect: (a) the confirmability of this Plan as it applies to the other
Debtor(s); or (b) the Debtors’ ability to modify this Plan, as it applies to the Debtors or to any
particular Debtor, to satisfy the requirements of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.

A-37

 

the powers of a corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, under applicable law in
the jurisdiction in which each applicable Debtor is organized and pursuant to the Organizational
Documents in effect prior to the Effective Date, except to the extent such Organizational Documents
are amended by this Plan, without prejudice to any right to terminate such existence (whether by

structure of the Debtors or corporate action to be taken by or required of the Debtors, shall, as

or other instrument or document evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligation of or
ownership interest in the Debtors, except such notes or other instruments evidencing indebtedness
or obligations of or Interests in the Debtors that are Reinstated under this Plan, shall be
cancelled, and (b) the obligations of, Claims against, and/or Interests in the Debtors under,
relating, or pertaining to any agreements, indenture, certificates of designation, bylaws, or
certificate or articles of incorporation or similar document governing the Existing Securities and
any other note, bond, indenture, or other instrument or document evidencing or creating any
indebtedness or obligation of the Debtors or ownership interest in the Debtors, except such notes
or other instruments evidencing indebtedness or obligations of or interests in the Debtors that are

anything to the contrary herein, as of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall assume all
existing indemnification obligations arising under (i) the Prepetition Credit Agreement (including
the Loan Documents, as defined therein) in favor of JPMCB, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and any of

Trustee Fee Claim on the Effective Date, all of the obligations of the Debtors and the Reorganized
Debtors under the Old Convertible Note Indenture and the Old Convertible Notes, including
indemnification obligations, shall be cancelled, released and discharged without limitation, and
the Old Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee shall be discharged from any further obligations
thereunder, provided, however, that said cancellation, release and discharge shall
not affect, limit or impair the rights of the Old Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee as against
any holder of Old Convertible Notes. Upon and subject to such cancellation, release and discharge,
all distributions to holders of Old Convertible Notes Claims by the Trustee of the Creditors’
Trust, if any, shall be made directly by the Trustee thereof and the Old Convertible Notes
Indenture Trustee shall have no duties relating thereto.

     6.5 Authorization and Issuance of New Common Stock.

          (a) The Certificate of Incorporation for Reorganized IBC shall authorize 60,000,000 shares of
New Common Stock. On the Effective Date, Reorganized IBC shall (i) issue up to 4,420,000 shares of
New Common Stock to the Term Loan Facility Lenders (or their Permitted Affiliates) and (ii) issue
4,420,000 shares of New Common Stock to Equity Investors. A summary description of the New Common

(iii) the exercise of Warrants, (iv) the employee equity sharing plans to be entered into in
connection with the Transaction, (v) the Trust Stock Appreciation Rights, and (vi) any other shares

          (c) The issuance of the New Common Stock, including the shares of the New Common Stock,
options, or other equity awards, if any, reserved by Reorganized IBC for the Long Term Incentive
Plan and the other employee equity sharing plans to be entered into in connection with the
Transaction, and the shares of

A-39

 

New Common Stock reserved by Reorganized IBC for the conversion of the New Convertible Secured
Notes and the exercise of the Warrants, is authorized without the need for any further corporate
action or action by any other party.

               All of the shares of New Common Stock issued pursuant to this Plan shall be duly authorized,
validly issued, and if applicable, fully paid and non-assessable.

     6.6 Directors and Officers.

          (a) The existing officers or managing members of the Debtors shall remain in their current
capacities as officers of the Reorganized Debtors, subject to the ordinary rights and powers of the
board of directors or equityholders, as the case may be, to replace them.

          (b) On the Effective Date, the term of the current members of the board of directors of IBC
shall expire. The initial board of directors of Reorganized IBC will consist of eight (8)
directors. Craig Jung (or in the event of his death, incapacity, or resignation, the chief
executive officer of IBC) shall serve as a director. Equity Investors shall designate five (5)
directors. The Prepetition Investors shall designate two (2) directors reasonably satisfactory to
Equity Investors. The existing directors of each Subsidiary Debtor shall remain in their current
capacities as directors of the applicable Reorganized Subsidiary Debtor, subject to the ordinary
rights and powers of the board of directors or equityholders to replace them.

          The Persons designating board members shall file with the Bankruptcy Court and give to the
Debtors written notice of the identities of such members on a date that is not less than ten (10)
days prior to the Voting Deadline.

          (c) Other provisions governing the service, term and continuance in office of the members of
the board shall be as set forth in the Organizational Documents of the Reorganized Debtors.

     6.7 Employment, Retirement, Indemnification and Other Agreements and Incentive Compensation
Programs.

          (a) The proposed terms of employment of certain key employees of the Reorganized Debtors, to
be effective on the Effective Date, are summarized at Exhibit N attached hereto (the
“Executive Employment Agreements”). The Executive Employment Agreements are to be in form
and substance satisfactory to Equity Investors and the assumption of, or entry into, the Executive
Employment Agreements as provided for herein shall be subject to the consent of Equity Investors
prior to the Confirmation Date. For the avoidance of doubt, with the exception of the requirement
that the Debtors assume the Executive Employment Agreement with Craig Jung, entry into or
assumption of any Executive Employment Agreement or

A-40

 

other employment agreement shall not be a condition precedent to the confirmation or
consummation of this Plan.

          (b) With the exception of those individuals (i) whose employment terms are summarized on
Exhibit N, and (ii) the terms of whose employment agreements are subject to a rejection
motion as of the Confirmation Hearing, to the extent that any of the Debtors has in place as of the
Effective Date employment, severance (change in control), retirement, indemnification and other
agreements with their respective active directors, officers, managing members and employees who
will continue in such capacities or a similar capacity after the Effective Date, or retirement
income plans, welfare benefit plans and other plans for such Persons, such agreements, programs and
plans will remain in place after the Effective Date, and the Reorganized Debtors will continue to
honor such agreements, programs and plans except to the extent provided herein without prejudice to
the Reorganized Debtors’ authority to modify or eliminate any such agreements, programs or plans as
permitted under applicable non-bankruptcy law. Benefits provided under such agreements or plans
may include benefits under qualified and non-qualified retirement plans; health and dental
coverage; short and long-term disability benefits; death and supplemental accidental death
benefits; vacation; leased car; financial consulting, tax preparation and estate planning as well
as an annual physical examination, each paid or provided commensurate with an employee’s position
in accordance with the applicable Reorganized Debtor’s policies then in effect. Such agreements
and plans also may include equity, bonus and other incentive plans in which officers, managing
members and other employees of the Reorganized Debtors may be eligible to participate;
provided, however, such equity, bonus and other incentive plans shall not provide
for the issuance of New Common Stock and to the extent that such equity, bonus and other incentive
plan provides for the issuance of Existing Securities, such provision shall be deemed null and void
and the officers, managing members and other employees shall waive any right to enforce such
provisions; provided, further, however, that pursuant to the Long Term
Incentive Plan, there shall be reserved for certain members of management, directors, and other
employees of the Reorganized Debtors a certain number of shares of New Common Stock and other
securities all as more fully described in Section 6.8 below. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, following the Effective Date of the Plan, with respect to the payment of “retiree
benefits” (as such term is defined in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code) related to medical,
surgical, or hospital care benefits, or benefits in the event of sickness, accident, disability, or
death, such payment shall continue at the levels established pursuant to subsections (e)(1)(B) or
(g) of section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code, at any time prior to confirmation this Plan, for the
duration of the periods the Debtors have obligated themselves to provide such benefits, if any.

A-41

 

          (c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the terms of the KERP shall not
be modified, altered, or amended. Retention Bonuses (as defined in the KERP) shall be paid in the
amounts and at such times as contemplated by the KERP.

     6.8 Implementation of the Long Term Incentive Program. A summary of the Long Term Incentive Plan
is attached hereto as Exhibit E. On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall
implement the Long Term Incentive Plan in order to promote the growth and general prosperity of the
Reorganized Debtors by offering incentives to key employees who are primarily responsible for the
growth of the Reorganized Debtors, and to attract and retain qualified employees and thereby
benefit the shareholders of the Reorganized Debtors based on growth of the Reorganized Debtors.
Pursuant to the Long Term Incentive Plan, the Reorganized Debtors shall deliver certain stock
options and restrictive stock grants to certain members of management and other employees on and
after the Effective Date, in such amounts and pursuant to such terms as set forth in the Long Term
Incentive Plan.

     The Long Term Incentive Plan will be administered by Reorganized IBC’s board of directors. In
applying and interpreting the provisions of the Long Term Incentive Plan, the decisions of
Reorganized IBC’s board of directors shall be final.

     The Long Term Incentive Plan is to be in form and substance satisfactory to Equity Investors
and the establishment of the Long Term Incentive Plan shall be subject to the consent of Equity
Investors.

     6.9 Termination of the SERP. Immediately prior to the Effective Date, the SERP shall be deemed
terminated, and the Reorganized Debtors’ obligations thereunder shall cease, and on the Effective
Date the trustee of the rabbi trust holding certain assets of the SERP shall remit such assets to
the Reorganized Debtors to be used for general corporate purposes.

     6.10 Equity Investors’ Contribution. Pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of the
Investment Agreement, Equity Investors shall make the Investment in the amount specified in the
Investment Agreement, to be utilized by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors to make Cash
distributions as required under this Plan and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Plan, the Investment Agreement and the Commitment Letter.

     6.11 Issuance of the New Convertible Secured Notes, the New Common Stock and Warrants and Entry
Into the New Third Lien Term Loan. On the Effective Date, Reorganized IBC shall issue the New
Convertible Secured Notes, the New Common Stock and the Warrants for distribution, and shall enter
into the New Third Lien Term Loan, in accordance with the terms of the Transaction. In the
Confirmation Order, the Bankruptcy Court shall approve the New Third Lien Term Loan and the New
Convertible Secured Notes in substantially the form disclosed to

A-42

 

the Bankruptcy Court and authorize the Reorganized Debtors to enter into the New Third Lien Term
Loan and issue the New Convertible Secured Notes pursuant to the New Third Lien Term Loan Credit
Facility and the New Convertible Secured Note Indenture, respectively, and execute the same
together with such other documents as the agent under the New Third Lien Term Loan and the trustee
under the New Convertible Secured Note Indenture may reasonably require.

          The issuance to the Prepetition Lenders of the New Convertible Secured Notes and the Series E
Warrants (including the New Common Stock into which such New Convertible Secured Notes are
convertible and the New Common Stock into which the Series E Warrants are exercisable) and the
distribution thereof shall be exempt from registration under applicable securities laws pursuant to
section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The definitive documents with respect to the New
Convertible Secured Notes distributed pursuant to this Plan will have mandatory conversion rights,
anti-dilution rights and transfer restrictions reflecting the terms set forth on Exhibit G
hereto and shall be mutually acceptable to the Debtors, Equity Investors and the Prepetition
Investors.

     6.12 Post-Effective Date Financing. On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors (other than
Mrs. Cubbison’s) shall (a) enter into the New Credit Facilities and the New Third Lien Term Loan
Credit Facility together with all guarantees evidencing obligations of the Reorganized Debtors
thereunder and security documents, (b) execute mortgages, certificates and other claims
documentation and deliveries as the Prepetition Investors reasonably request, (c) deliver insurance
and customary opinions, and (d) enter into other documentation as described in the Term Loan
Facility Commitment Papers and Exhibit H to the Commitment Letter, all of which items in clauses
(a) – (d) shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Prepetition Investors, and
such documents and all other documents, instruments and agreements to be entered into, delivered or
contemplated thereunder shall become effective in accordance with their terms on the Effective
Date. In the Confirmation Order, the Bankruptcy Court shall approve the New Credit Facilities and
the New Third Lien Term Loan Credit Facility in substantially the form disclosed to the Bankruptcy
Court and authorize the Reorganized Debtors to execute the same together with such other documents
as the lenders under the New Credit Facilities and the New Third Lien Term Loan Credit Facility may
reasonably require in order to effectuate the treatment afforded to such parties under the New
Credit Facilities and the New Third Lien Term Loan Credit Facility, respectively.

     Upon the Effective Date (i) the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors are authorized to execute
and deliver the New Credit Facility Documents, the New Third Lien Term Loan Credit Facility, the
New Convertible Secured Note Indenture, all mortgages, intercreditor agreements, security documents
and all other related agreements, documents or instruments to be executed or delivered in
connection

A-43

 

therewith, including (x) documentation regarding letters of credit replacing or “backing-up”
the Prepetition LCs and the letters of credit outstanding as of the Effective Date under the DIP
Facility, and (y) documentation of the cancellation or cash collateralization of such letters of
credit (collectively, the “Exit Facility Documents”) and perform their obligations
thereunder including, without limitation, the payment or reimbursement of any fees, expenses,
losses, damages or indemnities, (ii) the Exit Facility Documents shall constitute the legal, valid
and binding obligations of the Reorganized Debtors parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with
their respective terms, (iii) the Liens granted to secure the obligations under each applicable
Exit Facility Document shall be, and shall remain (until released in accordance with the terms of
the applicable Exit Facility Document), legal, valid, perfected, non-voidable, non-avoidable and
binding liens on, and security interests in, all property and assets of the Reorganized Debtors (to
the extent required by the Exit Facility Documents) having the priority granted to them under the
Plan, and (iv) no obligation, payment, transfer or grant of security under the Exit Facility
Documents shall be stayed, restrained, voidable, avoidable or recoverable under the Bankruptcy Code
or under any applicable law or subject to any defense, reduction, recoupment, setoff or
counterclaim on account of any act, event or occurrence arising on or prior to the Effective Date.
The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and the other persons granting any liens
and security interests to secure the obligations under the Exit Facility Documents are authorized
to make all filings and recordings, and to obtain all governmental approvals and consents necessary
or desirable to establish and further evidence perfection of such liens and security interests
under the provisions of any applicable federal, state, provincial or other law (whether domestic or
foreign) (it being understood that perfection shall occur automatically by virtue of the entry of
the Confirmation Order and any such filings, recordings, approvals and consents shall not be
required for such perfection), and will thereafter cooperate to make all other filings and
recordings that otherwise would be necessary under applicable law to give notice of such liens and
security interests to third parties.

     6.13 Restructuring Transactions and Alternative Structures. Subject to the prior agreement of
Equity Investors and the Prepetition Investors on the form of the Restructuring Transactions, the
Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, shall take such actions as may be necessary
or appropriate to effect the relevant Restructuring Transactions. Such actions may include: (a)
the execution and delivery of appropriate agreements or other documents of merger, consolidation or
reorganization containing terms that are consistent with the terms of this Plan and that satisfy
the requirements of applicable law; (b) the execution and delivery of appropriate instruments of
transfer, assignment, assumption or delegation of any property, right, liability, duty or
obligation on terms consistent with the terms of this Plan; (c) the filing of appropriate
Organizational Documents with the appropriate governmental authorities under applicable law; and
(d) all other actions that such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor determines are necessary or
appropriate, including the making of filings or recordings in connection with the relevant
Restructuring

A-44

 

Transaction. In the event a Restructuring Transaction is a merger transaction, upon the
consummation of such Restructuring Transaction, each party to such merger shall cease to exist as a
separate corporate entity and thereafter the surviving Reorganized Debtor shall assume and perform
the obligations under this Plan of each Reorganized Debtor party to such merger. In the event a
Reorganized Debtor is liquidated, the Reorganized Debtors (or the Reorganized Debtor which owned
the stock of such liquidating Debtor prior to such liquidation) shall assume and perform the
obligations of such liquidating Reorganized Debtor under this Plan.

     Several alternative structures for the post-emergence capital structure of the Debtors are
being explored. Under certain of the alternative structures, Equity Investors would organize one
or more new entities which would acquire the Debtors, or the assets of the Debtors, in a taxable
transaction. Other alternative structures involve the Debtors entering into certain transactions
prior to the Effective Date in order to modify the overall corporate structure of the Debtors
and/or otherwise structure their businesses for corporate or operational reasons. The
reorganization of the Debtors will be consummated pursuant to an alternative structure described in
this paragraph only if, after further analysis, the Debtors believe that it will improve the
corporate or operational structure or otherwise provide efficiencies to the Estates or the
Reorganized Debtors, and only if the Debtors have received the prior written consent of Equity
Investors and the Prepetition Investors. Any such reorganization will not have any material
adverse effect on any of the distributions under this Plan.

     6.14 Preservation of Causes of Action. In accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy
Code and except as otherwise provided in this Plan, the Reorganized Debtors shall retain and may,
in their sole discretion, enforce or prosecute all Retained Actions, a nonexclusive list of which
is attached hereto as Exhibit A-1. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, in their sole
and absolute discretion, will determine whether to bring, settle, release, compromise, or enforce
such rights (or decline to do any of the foregoing). The Reorganized Debtors or any successors may
prosecute (or decline to prosecute) such Retained Actions in accordance with the best interests of
the Reorganized Debtors or any successors holding such rights of action. Except as otherwise
provided herein, the failure of the Debtors to specifically list any Claim, right of action, suit
or proceeding in the Schedules or in Exhibit A-1 does not, and will not be deemed to,
constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors of such claim, right of action, suit or proceeding,
and the Reorganized Debtors will retain the right to pursue such claims, rights of action, suits or
proceedings in their sole discretion and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, collateral estoppel,
issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise) or laches will
apply to such claim, right of action, suit or proceeding upon or after the confirmation or
consummation of this Plan.

A-45

 

     6.15 Exclusivity Period. Subject to Section 14.2, the Debtors shall retain the exclusive right to
amend or modify this Plan, and to solicit acceptances of any amendments to or modifications of this
Plan, through and until the Effective Date.

     6.16 Effectuating Documents; Further Transactions. The chairman of the board of directors, the
Chief Executive Officer, or any other executive officer or managing member of the Debtors shall be
authorized to execute, deliver, file, or record such contracts, instruments, releases, indentures,
and other agreements or documents, and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to
effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of this Plan. The Secretary or Assistant
Secretary of the Debtors shall be authorized to certify or attest to any of the foregoing actions.

     6.17 Exemption From Certain Transfer Taxes and Recording Fees. Pursuant to section 1146(c) of the
Bankruptcy Code, any transfers from a Debtor to a Reorganized Debtor or to any other Person or
entity pursuant to this Plan (including, without limitation, pursuant to any grant of collateral
under the New Credit Facilities), or any agreement regarding the transfer of title to or ownership
of any of the Debtors’ real or personal property, will not be subject to any document recording
tax, stamp tax, real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, Uniform Commercial Code filing or
recording tax, or other similar tax or governmental assessment, and the Confirmation Order will
direct the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents to forego the collection of
any such tax or governmental assessment and to accept for filing and recordation any of the
foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax or governmental
assessment.

     6.18 Substantive Consolidation Motions. If Class 5 General Unsecured Claims voting on the
respective Plans of Mrs. Cubbison’s, Armour & Main Redevelopment or New England Bakery do not each
vote as a class to accept the applicable Plan, and if the applicable Plan as it pertains to Mrs.
Cubbison’s, Armour & Main Redevelopment or New England Development is not timely confirmed, the
Debtors shall seek to substantively consolidate Mrs. Cubbison’s, Armour & Main Redevelopment or New
England Bakery, as appropriate, and IBC pursuant to the Mrs. Cubbison’s Substantive Consolidation
Motion, the Armour & Main Redevelopment Substantive Consolidation Motion or New England Bakery
Substantive Consolidation Motion, as applicable. The Debtors may combine two or more Substantive
Consolidation Motions in one pleading. Objections to the Substantive Consolidation Motion(s) may
be decided at the Confirmation Hearing or at a later date.

ARTICLE VII

UNEXPIRED LEASES AND EXECUTORY CONTRACTS

     7.1 Assumed (Non-Union) Contracts and Leases. Except with respect to the Union Contracts (whose
treatment under this Plan is described in Section 7.3 herein), only those executory contracts and
unexpired leases to which the Debtors (or any of them) are a party that are specifically listed on
the schedule of assumed contracts and leases annexed hereto as Exhibit O, or that were
entered into postpetition, shall be deemed automatically assumed and Reinstated as of the Effective
Date; provided, however, that neither the inclusion by the Debtors of a contract or
lease on Exhibit O nor anything contained in this Plan shall constitute an admission by the
Debtors that such lease or contract is an unexpired lease or executory contract or that any Debtor,
or any of their Affiliates, has any liability thereunder. The Confirmation Order shall constitute
an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such assumptions, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the
Bankruptcy Code and, to the extent applicable, section 365(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the
Effective Date.

     Each executory contract and unexpired lease that is assumed and relates to the use, ability to
acquire, or occupancy of real property shall include (a) 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 (b) all executory contracts or unexpired leases appurtenant to the premises, including all
easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal,
powers, uses, reciprocal easement agreements, and any other interests in real estate or rights
in rem related to such premises, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been
rejected pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or is otherwise rejected as a part of
this Plan.

     7.2 Rejected (Non-Union) Contracts and Leases. Except with respect to the Union Contracts (whose
treatment under this Plan is described in Section 7.3 herein) and except with respect to executory
contracts and unexpired leases that have previously been assumed or are the subject of a motion to
assume, or a notice of assumption served pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, on or before
the Confirmation Date, all executory contracts and unexpired leases not assumed as set forth in
Section 7.1 of this Plan shall be deemed automatically rejected as of the Effective Date or such
earlier date as the Debtors may have unequivocally terminated their performance under such lease or
contract. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such
rejections pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors reserve the right to file a
motion on or before the Confirmation Date to reject any executory contract or unexpired lease.

A-47

 

     7.3 Assumption and Rejection of Union Contracts. Each Union Contract to which the Debtors are a
party shall be deemed automatically assumed and Reinstated as of the Effective Date, unless such
Union Contract (a) shall have been previously rejected by the Debtors, (b) is the subject of a
motion to reject pursuant to section 1113 of the Bankruptcy Code filed on or before the
Confirmation Date, or (c) expired prior to the Effective Date and/or is no longer executory on the
Effective Date by its own terms. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the
Bankruptcy Court approving such assumptions, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code
and, to the extent applicable, section 365(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the Effective Date.
Any rejection of a Union Contract will proceed by motion made pursuant to section 1113 of the
Bankruptcy Code.

     7.4 Payments Related to Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. The provisions (if
any) of each executory contract or unexpired lease to be assumed and Reinstated under this Plan
which are or may be in default shall be satisfied solely by Cure. Objections to assumption or
rejection including, without limitation, to Cure related to non-monetary defaults, must be raised
in an objection to be filed no later than the date by which objections are required to be filed
with respect to confirmation of the Plan. Any such Objections will be litigated at the
Confirmation Hearing or at such other time as the Bankruptcy Court may schedule.

     7.5 Rejection Damages Bar Date. If rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease rejected
pursuant to this Plan results in a Claim, then such Claim shall be forever barred and shall not be
enforceable against either the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors or such entities’ properties
unless a proof of claim is filed with the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court and served upon counsel to
the Debtors within thirty (30) days after service of the earlier of (a) notice of the Confirmation
Order or (b) other notice that the executory contract or unexpired lease has been rejected. Any
Claim that may be Allowed as a result of the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease
shall be treated as a General Unsecured Claim.

ARTICLE VIII

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

     8.1 Time of Distributions. Except as otherwise provided for herein or ordered by the Bankruptcy
Court, distributions under this Plan shall be made on a Periodic Distribution Date.

     8.2 No Interest on Claims. Unless otherwise specifically provided for in this Plan, the
Confirmation Order, the DIP Credit Agreement or the Prepetition Credit Agreement, Postpetition
Interest shall not accrue or be paid on Claims, and no Claimholder shall be entitled to interest
accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim, right, or Interest. Additionally, and without
limiting the foregoing, interest

A-48

 

shall not accrue or be paid on any Disputed Claim in respect of the period from the Effective Date
to the date a final distribution is made when and if such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

     8.3 Disbursing Agent. The Disbursing Agent shall make all distributions required under this Plan.

     8.4 Surrender of Securities or Instruments. On or before the Distribution Date, or as soon as
practicable thereafter, each holder of an instrument evidencing a Claim (as to each, a
“Certificate”), shall surrender such Certificate to the Disbursing Agent or, with respect
to indebtedness that is governed by other agreement, the respective Servicer, and such Certificate
shall be cancelled. No distribution of property hereunder shall be made to or on behalf of any
such holder unless and until such Certificate is received by the Disbursing Agent or the respective
Servicer or the unavailability of such Certificate is reasonably established to the satisfaction of
the Disbursing Agent or the respective Servicer. Any holder who fails to surrender or cause to be
surrendered such Certificate, or fails to execute and deliver an affidavit of loss and indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Disbursing Agent or the respective Servicer prior to the first
anniversary of the Effective Date, shall be deemed to have forfeited all rights and Claims in
respect of such Certificate and shall not participate in any distribution hereunder, and all
property in respect of such forfeited distribution, including any dividends or interest
attributable thereto, shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors notwithstanding any federal or state
escheat laws to the contrary.

     8.5 Claims Administration Responsibility. The Reorganized Debtors will have sole and absolute
discretion in administering, disputing, objecting to, compromising or otherwise resolving all
Claims against the Debtors (the “Claims Administration”); provided,
however, that before the Reorganized Debtors agree to allow a General Unsecured Claim in an
amount greater than $1,000,000, the Reorganized Debtors shall give reasonable notice to the
Creditors’ Trust of their intended agreement and the Creditors’ Trust can elect to assume
responsibility for administering, disputing, objecting, compromising or otherwise resolving such
General Unsecured Claim and assume and pay from the Trust Assets any fees, costs, expenses or other
liabilities incurred in connection with administering, disputing, objecting, compromising or
otherwise resolving such General Unsecured Claim. If the Creditors’ Trust does not elect to assume
such responsibility within three Business Days after the Reorganized Debtors’ delivery of notice to
the Creditors’ Trust, the General Unsecured Claim shall be disposed of in the manner proposed by
the Reorganized Debtors. The Reorganized Debtors shall bear the responsibility for any fees,
costs, expenses or other liabilities incurred by the Reorganized Debtors in connection with the
Claims Administration; provided, however, prior to the Reorganized Debtors taking
any responsibility with respect to Claims Administration, the Creditors’ Trust and the Reorganized
Debtors shall have entered into an

A-49

 

agreement whereby the Creditor’ Trust shall compensate the Reorganized Debtors for their reasonable
costs and expenses (excluding attorneys’ fees) associated with the Reorganized Debtors’ use of
resources used to assist the Creditors’ Trust in the Claims Administration.

     8.6 Delivery of Distributions. Distributions under this Plan to holders of Allowed Prepetition
Lender Claims shall be made to or at the direction of the Prepetition Agent and shall be
distributed by the Prepetition Agent in accordance with the Prepetition Credit Agreement.
Distributions under this Plan to holders of DIP Facility Claims shall be made to or at the
direction of the DIP Agent and shall be distributed by the DIP Agent in accordance with the DIP
Credit Agreement. Distributions under this Plan to all other Allowed Claimholders shall be made by
the Disbursing Agent. If any Claimholder’s distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further
distributions to such Claimholder shall be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent or the
appropriate Servicer is notified of such Claimholder’s then current address, at which time all
missed distributions shall be made to such Claimholder without interest. Amounts in respect of
undeliverable distributions shall be returned to the Reorganized Debtors until such distributions
are claimed. All claims for undeliverable distributions shall be made on or before the second
anniversary of the Effective Date. After such date, all unclaimed property shall revert to the
Reorganized Debtors. Upon such reversion, the claim of any Claimholder, or their successors, with
respect to such property shall be discharged and forever barred notwithstanding any federal or
state escheat laws to the contrary.

     8.7 Procedures for Treating and Resolving Disputed and Contingent Claims.

          (a) No Distributions Pending Allowance. No payments or distributions will be made with
respect to all or any portion of a Disputed Claim unless and until all objections to such Disputed
Claim have been settled or withdrawn or have been determined by a Final Order, and the Disputed
Claim has become an Allowed Claim. All objections to Claims must be filed on or before the Claims
Objection Deadline.

          (b) Distributions After Allowance. Payments and distributions to each respective Claimholder
on account of a Disputed Claim, to the extent that it ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim, will be
made in accordance with provisions of this Plan that govern distributions to such Claimholders.
Subject to Section 8.2 hereof, on the first Periodic Distribution Date following the date when a
Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, the Disbursing Agent will distribute to the Claimholder
any Cash that would have been distributed on the dates distributions were previously made to
Claimholders had such Allowed Claim been an Allowed Claim on such dates, together with any
dividends, payments, or other distributions made on account of, as well as any obligations arising
from, the distributed property

A-50

 

as if such Allowed Claim had been an Allowed Claim on the dates distributions were previously
made to Allowed Claimholders included in the applicable class.

ARTICLE IX

ALLOWANCE AND PAYMENT OF

CERTAIN ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS

     9.1 DIP Facility Claims. On the Effective Date, all claims arising under the DIP Facility shall be
allowed in an amount to be agreed upon by the Debtors and such Claimholders, and all obligations of
the Debtors under the DIP Facility shall be paid in full in Cash or otherwise satisfied in a manner
acceptable to such Claimholders in accordance with the terms of the DIP Facility and the DIP Credit
Agreement including, without limitation, replacement and cancellation, securing by “back up”
letters of credit issued by an institution acceptable to the bank that issued the letters of credit
outstanding under the DIP Facility, or cash collateralization at 105% of the face amount of all
letters of credit issued and outstanding under the DIP Credit Facility on terms in form and
substance (a) satisfactory to the bank issuer of such letter of credit and (b) reasonably
satisfactory to Equity Investors and the Prepetition Investors. Upon compliance with the preceding
sentence, all liens and security interests granted to secure such obligations shall be deemed
cancelled and shall be of no further force and effect.

     9.2 Professional Claims.

          (a) Final Fee Applications. All final requests for payment of Professional Claims must be
filed no later than forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date. After notice and a hearing in
accordance with the procedures established by the Bankruptcy Code and prior orders of the
Bankruptcy Court, the allowed amounts of such Professional Claims shall be determined by the
Bankruptcy Court.

          (b) Payment of Interim Amounts. Subject to the Holdback Amount, on the Effective Date, the
Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors shall pay all amounts owing to Professionals for all outstanding
amounts relating to prior periods through the Effective Date. In order to receive payment on the
Effective Date for unbilled fees and expenses incurred through such date, two (2) days prior to the
Effective Date, the Professionals shall estimate fees and expenses due for periods that have not
been billed as of the Effective Date and shall deliver such estimate to counsel for the Debtors,
the Prepetition Investors, Equity Investors and the Prepetition Agent. Within fifteen (15) days
after the Effective Date, a Professional receiving payment for the estimated period shall submit a
detailed invoice covering such period in the manner and providing the detail as set forth in the
Professional Fee Order.

A-51

 

          (c) On the Effective Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors shall pay to the Disbursing
Agent, in order to fund the Holdback Escrow Account, Cash equal to the aggregate Holdback Amount
for all Professionals. The Disbursing Agent shall maintain the Holdback Escrow Account in trust
for the Professionals with respect to whom fees have been held back pursuant to the Professional
Fee Order. Such funds shall not be considered property of the Reorganized Debtors. The remaining
amount of Professional Claims owing to the Professionals shall be paid to such Professionals by the
Disbursing Agent from the Holdback Escrow Account when such claims are finally allowed by the
Bankruptcy Court. When all Professional Claims have been paid in full, amounts remaining in the
Holdback Escrow Account, if any, shall be paid to the Reorganized Debtors.

          (d) Upon the Effective Date, any requirement that professionals comply with sections 327
through 331 of the Bankruptcy Code in seeking retention or compensation for services rendered after
such date will terminate.

          (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the fees and expenses of the Prepetition Investors as
provided in the Term Loan Facility Commitment Papers, and as approved by the Commitment Letter
Approval Order, shall be payable by the Debtors (or the Reorganized Debtors) to the Prepetition
Investors promptly upon invoicing to the Debtors (or the Reorganized Debtors) without any notice to
the Bankruptcy Court or any other party.

          (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the fees and expenses of Equity Investors as provided in
the Commitment Letter, and as approved by the Commitment Letter Approval Order, shall be payable by
the Debtors (or the Reorganized Debtors) to Equity Investors promptly upon invoicing to the Debtors
(or the Reorganized Debtors) without any notice to the Bankruptcy Court or any other party.

     9.3 Substantial Contribution Compensation and Expenses Bar Date. Any Person who requests
compensation or expense reimbursement for making a substantial contribution in the Chapter 11 Cases
pursuant to sections 503(b)(3), 503(b)(4), and 503(b)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code must file an
application with the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court, on or before a date which is forty-five (45)
days after the Effective Date (the “503 Deadline”), and serve such application on counsel
for the Debtors and as otherwise required by the Bankruptcy Court and the Bankruptcy Code on or
before the 503 Deadline, or be forever barred from seeking such compensation or expense
reimbursement.

     9.4 Other Administrative Claims. All other requests for payment of an Administrative Claim (other
than as set forth in Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.6 of this Plan, and other than with respect to Cure
Claims) must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on counsel for the Debtors no later than
thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. Unless the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors object to
an Administrative Claim by the Claims Objection Deadline, such Administrative Claim shall be deemed

A-52

 

allowed in the amount requested. In the event that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors object
to an Administrative Claim, the Bankruptcy Court shall determine the allowed amount of such
Administrative Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no request for payment of an Administrative
Claim need be filed with respect to an Administrative Claim (i) which is paid or payable by any
Debtor in the ordinary course of business or (ii) the payment of which has been approved by the
Bankruptcy Court.

     9.5 The ACE Insurance Program. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the
Disclosure Statement or the Confirmation Order: (a) on the Effective Date, the Debtors and the
Reorganized Debtors shall assume the ACE Insurance Program in its entirety and shall pay the cure
costs related to such assumption; (b) the ACE Insurance Program (including, but not limited to, all
letters of credit and other collateral and security provided to the ACE Companies (or any of them)
pursuant the ACE Insurance Program) shall survive and shall not be amended, modified, waived or
impaired in any respect by this Plan, the Confirmation Order or otherwise without the prior written
agreement of the ACE Companies; (c) the claims of the ACE Companies arising under the ACE Insurance
Program shall be Allowed Administrative Claims, which are payable in the ordinary course of
business, and shall not be discharged or released by this Plan or the Confirmation Order; (d) the
ACE Companies shall not be required to file or serve a request for payment of any Administrative
Claim and shall not be subject to any bar date governing Administrative Claims; (e) nothing in this
Plan or the Confirmation Order shall be construed as, or is, a determination as to coverage under
the ACE Insurance Program; and (f) nothing in this Plan or the Disclosure Statement in any way: (i)
precludes or limits the rights of the insurers to contest and/or litigate with any party,
including, without limitation, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, the existence, primacy
and/or scope of available coverage under any alleged applicable policy; (ii) permits any holder of
a Workers’ Compensation Claim or an Insured Claim to recover the same amounts from the ACE
Companies and the Debtors (or as the case may be, the Reorganized Debtors); (iii) alters the ACE
Companies’ rights and obligations under the ACE Insurance Program or modifies the coverage provided
thereunder; or (iv) alters the Debtors’ (or as the case may be, the Reorganized Debtors’) rights
and obligations under the ACE Insurance Program, including, without limitation, any duty of the
Debtors’ (or as the case may be, the Reorganized Debtors’) to defend, at their own expense, against
claims asserted under the Policies; provided, however, that, after the Effective Date, the ACE
Companies shall use their commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with the ACE Insurance
Program, to reduce the aggregate letters of credit and other collateral and security provided to
the ACE Companies (or any of them) pursuant to the ACE Insurance Program by the Reorganized
Debtors.

     9.6 Commitment Fee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, on the Effective Date, the
Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors shall pay (i) the balance of the Commitment Fee to Equity
Investors in accordance with the

A-53

 

Commitment Letter Approval Order and (ii) the Term Loan Facility Commitment Fee to the Term Loan
Facility Commitment Parties in accordance with the Commitment Letter Approval Order.

     9.7 Payment of Old Convertible Note Indenture Trustee Fee Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, on the Effective Date, the Old Convertible Note Indenture Trustee Fee Claim shall
be paid in Cash without any further notice to the Bankruptcy Court or otherwise; provided,
however, that no later than five (5) days prior to the Confirmation Hearing, the Old
Convertible Note Indenture Trustee shall have provided to the Debtors, Equity Investors and the
Prepetition Investors copies of invoices evidencing the fees and expenses incurred by the Old
Convertible Note Indenture Trustee during the Chapter 11 Cases through the Effective Date;
provided, further, that the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction over any
disputes regarding the reasonableness of the Allowed Old Convertible Note Indenture Trustee Fee
Claim. Upon payment of the Old Convertible Note Indenture Trustee Fee Claim, the Old Convertible
Note Indenture Trustee shall forever release, waive and discharge its “charging” lien with respect
to any distribution that is made to any holder of Old Convertible Notes.

CREDITORS’ TRUST

     10.1 Appointment of Trustee.

          (a) The Trustee for the Creditors’ Trust shall be designated by the Creditors’ Committee.
Specifically, the Creditors’ Committee shall file a notice on a date which is at least ten days
prior to the date the Bankruptcy Court establishes for the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing
designating the Person who it has selected as the Trustee and seeking approval of such designation.
The Person designated as the Trustee shall file an affidavit contemporaneously with the Creditors’
Committee’s motion demonstrating that such Person is disinterested. The Person so designated by
the Creditors’ Committee shall become the Trustee as of the Effective Date upon the Bankruptcy
Court entering an order granting the motion after consideration of the same and any objections
thereto at the Confirmation Hearing.

          (b) The Trustee shall have and perform all of the duties, responsibilities, rights and
obligations set forth in this Plan and the Trust Agreement.

     10.2 Assignment of Trust Assets to the Creditors’ Trust. On the Effective Date, the Trust Assets
shall be transferred to the Creditors’ Trust, for and on behalf of the Trust Beneficiaries.
Beneficial interests in the Creditors’ Trust shall be non-transferable, except by death or
operation of law, and will not be evidenced by

A-54

 

certificates. Only cash proceeds of Trust Assets may be distributed to Trust Beneficiaries and
“in-kind” distributions are not permitted.

     10.3 The Creditors’ Trust.

          (a) Without any further action of the directors, officers or shareholders of the Debtors or
the Reorganized Debtors, on the Effective Date, the Trust Agreement, substantially in the form of
Exhibit K to this Plan, shall become effective. The Trustee shall accept the Creditors’
Trust and sign the Trust Agreement on that date and the Creditors’ Trust will then be deemed
created and effective.

          (b) The duration of the Creditors’ Trust will be limited to an initial term of five years,
subject to further extension solely for the purpose of permitting the Creditors’ Trust to liquidate
the Trust Assets and distribute the proceeds thereof to the Trust Beneficiaries.

          (c) The Trustee shall have full authority to take any steps necessary to administer the Trust
Agreement, including, without limitation, the duty and obligation to liquidate the Trust Assets
(having first obtained such approvals from the Trust Advisory Board as may be necessary, if any),
as applicable, and, if authorized by majority vote of those members of the Trust Advisory Board
authorized to vote, to prosecute and settle Trust Claims, in such a manner so as reasonably to
maximize the value of the Trust Assets.

          (d) All fees, costs and expenses associated with the administration of the Creditors’ Trust
and distribution to Trust Beneficiaries shall be the responsibility of and be paid by the
Creditors’ Trust from the Trust Assets. The Reorganized Debtors will provide information and
assistance to the Creditors’ Trust to the extent reasonably required to assist the Creditors’ Trust
in the investigation and prosecution of Trust Claims; provided, however, the
Reorganized Debtors shall not have an obligation to provide information and assistance to the
Creditors’ Trust until the Reorganized Debtors and the Creditors’ Trust have entered into an
agreement, the terms of which were negotiated in good faith, for the Creditors’ Trust to compensate
the Reorganized Debtors for their reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonably attorneys’
fees) associated with the Reorganized Debtors’ resources used in connection with such requested
assistance.

          (e) The Trustee may retain such law firms, accounting firms, experts, advisors, consultants,
investigators, appraisers, auctioneers or other professionals as it may deem necessary
(collectively, the “Trustee Professionals”), in its sole discretion, to aid in the
performance of its responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Plan including, without
limitation, the liquidation of Trust Assets, as applicable. The Trustee Professionals shall
continue to prepare monthly statements in the same manner and in the same detail as required
pursuant to the Professional Fee Order, and the Trustee Professionals shall serve such statements
on each member of

A-55

 

the Trust Advisory Board. In the event two or more members of the Trust Advisory Board object
to the reasonableness of such fees and expenses, the matter shall be submitted to the Bankruptcy
Court for approval of the reasonableness of such fees and expenses.

          (f) For U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Creditors’ Trust be
classified as a liquidating trust under section 301.7701-4 of the Treasury regulations and that
such trust be owned by the Trust Beneficiaries.

          (g) The Trustee shall be responsible for filing all U.S. federal, state and local tax returns
for the Creditors’ Trust.

          (h) To the extent that there is an inconsistency or conflict between the description of the
Creditors’ Trust provided herein and the Trust Agreement, the Trust Agreement shall control.

10.4 The Trust Advisory Board.

          (a) The Trust Advisory Board shall be comprised of three (3) members as designated by the
Creditors’ Committee. The Creditors’ Committee shall give written notice of the identities of such
members and file and serve such notice with the Bankruptcy Court, on a date that is not less than
ten (10) days prior to the Confirmation Hearing; provided, however, that if and to
the extent the Creditors’ Committee fails to file and serve such notice, the Debtors shall
designate the members of the Trust Advisory Board by announcing their identities at the
Confirmation Hearing. The Trust Advisory Board shall adopt such bylaws as it may deem appropriate.
The Trustee shall consult regularly with the Trust Advisory Board when carrying out the purpose
and intent of the Creditors’ Trust. Members of the Trust Advisory Board shall be entitled to
compensation from the Creditors’ Trust in accordance with the Trust Agreement and to reimbursement
from the Creditors’ Trust of the reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by them in carrying out
the purpose of the Trust Advisory Board. Any compensation paid to members of the Trust Advisory
Board or reimbursement of their reasonable and necessary expenses shall be payable solely by the
Creditors’ Trust from the Trust Assets.

          (b) In the case of an inability or unwillingness of any member of the Trust Advisory Board to
serve, such member shall be replaced by designation of the remaining members of the Trust Advisory
Board. If any position on the Trust Advisory Board remains vacant for more than thirty (30) days,
such vacancy shall be filled within fifteen (15) days thereafter by the designation of the Trustee
without the requirement of a vote by the other members of the Trust Advisory Board.

A-56

 

          (c) Upon the certification by the Trustee that all assets transferred into Trust have been
distributed, abandoned or otherwise disposed of, the members of the Trust Advisory Board shall
resign their positions, whereupon they shall be discharged from further duties and
responsibilities.

          (d) The Trust Advisory Board may, by majority vote, approve all settlements of Trust Claims
which the Trustee may propose; provided, however, that the Trustee may seek
Bankruptcy Court approval of a settlement of a Trust Claim if the Trust Advisory Board fails to act
on a proposed settlement of such Trust Claim within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of such
proposed settlement by the Trustee.

          (e) The Trust Advisory Board may, by majority vote, authorize the Trustee to invest the corpus
of the Trust in prudent investments other than those described in section 345 of the Bankruptcy
Code.

          (f) The Trust Advisory Board may remove the Trustee in the event of gross negligence or
willful misconduct. In the event the requisite approval is not obtained, the Trustee may be
removed by the Bankruptcy Court for cause shown. In the event of the resignation or removal of the
Trustee, the Trust Advisory Board shall, by majority vote, designate a person to serve as successor
Trustee.

          (g) The Trust Advisory Board shall require a fidelity bond from the Trustee in such reasonable
amount as may be agreed to by majority vote of the Trust Advisory Board.

          (h) The Trust Advisory Board shall govern its proceedings through the adoption of bylaws,
which the Trust Advisory Board may adopt by majority vote. No provision of such bylaws shall
supersede any provision of this Plan.

     10.5 Distributions to Beneficiaries of the Creditors’ Trust Under the Trust Agreement.
Notwithstanding Section 4.1(i) herein, and as part of the Intercreditor Settlement, holders of
Allowed General Unsecured Claims shall be entitled to participate in the Intercreditor Settlement,
to the extent provided in and subject to the terms set forth in the Intercreditor Settlement Order
and the Trust Agreement. The procedures for distributions to the Trust Beneficiaries shall be in
accordance with the terms set forth in the Trust Agreement. The procedures for resolving Disputed
Claims of the Trust Beneficiaries are set forth herein and in the Trust Agreement.

ARTICLE XI

EFFECT OF THE PLAN ON CLAIMS AND INTERESTS

     11.1 Revesting of Assets. Except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Plan, on the Effective
Date all property comprising the Estates (including Retained Actions) shall revest in each of the
Debtors and, ultimately, in the Reorganized Debtors, free and clear of all Claims, Liens and
Interests of creditors and equity security holders (other than as expressly provided herein). As
of the Effective Date, each of the Reorganized Debtors may operate its business and use, acquire,
and dispose of property and settle and compromise Claims without supervision of the Bankruptcy
Court, free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules, other than those
restrictions expressly imposed by this Plan and the Confirmation Order.

     11.2 Discharge of the Debtors. Pursuant to and to the fullest extent permitted by section 1141(d)
of the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan or in the
Confirmation Order, confirmation of this Plan discharges and releases, effective as of the
Confirmation Date (but subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date), the Debtors, the
Reorganized Debtors and the Estates (x) from all Claims and Causes of Action, whether known or
unknown, and (y) from liabilities of, liens on, obligations of, rights against, and Interests in
the Debtors or any of their assets or properties, in each case regardless of whether any property
has been distributed or retained pursuant to this Plan on account of such Claims, Causes of Action,
rights, liabilities, liens, obligations and Interests, and in each case including (x) Claims,
Causes of Actions, rights, liabilities, liens, obligations and Interests that arose before the
Confirmation Date, (y) any Claims, Causes of Actions, rights, liabilities (including withdrawal
liabilities), liens, obligations and Interests to the extent such Claims, Causes of Actions,
rights, liabilities (including withdrawal liabilities), liens, obligations and Interests relate to
services performed by employees of the Debtors prior to the Petition Date and that arise from a
termination of employment or a termination of any employee or retiree benefit program regardless of
whether such termination occurred prior to or after the Confirmation Date, and (z) all Claims of
the kind specified in sections 502(g), 502(h) or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, in each case
whether or not (a) a proof of claim or interest based upon such Claims, Causes of Actions, rights,
liabilities, liens, obligations and Interests or Interest is filed or deemed filed under section
501 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) a Claim or Interest based upon such Claims, Causes of Actions,
rights, liabilities, liens, obligations and Interests is allowed under section 502 of the
Bankruptcy Code, or (c) the holder of such a Claim, Cause of Action, right, liability, lien,
obligation or Interests accepted this Plan. The Confirmation Order shall be a judicial
determination of the discharge of all liabilities of and Interests in the Debtors, subject to the
Effective Date occurring.

A-58

 

     As of the Confirmation Date, except as provided in this Plan or in the Confirmation Order
(including with respect to the indemnification obligations referenced in the second sentence of
Section 6.4 herein) or under the terms of the documents evidencing and orders approving the New
Credit Facilities, the Investment Agreement, the Commitment Letter, the New Third Lien Term Loan
Credit Facility, the New Convertible Secured Note Indenture and the Trust Stock Appreciation
Rights, all Persons shall be precluded from asserting against the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors any other or further claims, debts, rights, causes of action, claims for relief,
liabilities, or equity interests relating to the Debtors based upon any act, omission, transaction,
occurrence, or other activity of any nature that occurred prior to the Confirmation Date. In
accordance with the foregoing, except as provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, the
Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of discharge of all such Claims and other
debts and liabilities against the Debtors and termination of all Interests in IBC, and in the
Brands Preferred Stock, pursuant to sections 524 and 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, and such
discharge shall void any judgment obtained against the Debtors at any time, to the extent that such
judgment relates to a discharged Claim or terminated Interest.

     11.3 Compromises and Settlements. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019(a), the Debtors may compromise
and settle various Claims (a) against them and (b) that they have against other Persons. The
Debtors expressly reserve the right (with Bankruptcy Court approval, following appropriate notice
and opportunity for a hearing) to compromise and settle Claims against them and claims that they
may have against other Persons up to and including the Effective Date. After the Effective Date,
such right shall pass to the Reorganized Debtors as contemplated in Section 11.1 of this Plan,
without any need for Bankruptcy Court approval.

     Pursuant to the Intercreditor Settlement and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, the Debtors, the
Prepetition Lenders and the Creditors’ Committee agree to (a) the creation of the Creditors’ Trust
pursuant to Article X of this Plan, the transfer of the Trust Assets thereto, the allowance
and payment of the Old Convertible Note Indenture Trustee Fee Claim and other good and valuable
consideration and (b) the full and complete release and satisfaction of any and all claims of the
Debtors (and those claiming derivatively through the Debtors) against the Prepetition Lenders, in
their capacities as such, including, but not limited to: (i) claims against the Prepetition Lenders
asserted or that could have been asserted by the Debtors in the Prepetition Lender Actions, (ii)
challenges with respect to the extent, amount, validity and priority of the Prepetition Lenders’
liens and security interests, and (iii) allegations or claims that the adequate protection payments
made to the Prepetition Lenders during the Chapter 11 Cases should be “recharacterized” as
principal payments and applied to reduce the Prepetition Lenders’ secured claims. For the
avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not release the obligations of the Term Loan Facility
Commitment Parties for the Term Loan Facility pursuant to the Term Loan Facility Commitment Papers
or the obligations of the parties to the Intercreditor Settlement.

A-59

 

     In addition, pursuant to the Intercreditor Settlement and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, the Debtors,
the Prepetition Lenders, the Creditors’ Committee and the Old Convertible Note Indenture Trustee
agree that the transfer of the Trust Assets to the Creditors’ Trust and the satisfaction of the Old
Convertible Note Indenture Trustee Fee Claim shall also be in full and complete release and
satisfaction of any and all claims that could be prosecuted by any party in interest in the Chapter
11 Cases including the Debtors, the Creditors’ Committee, its members, the Prepetition Lenders and
the Old Convertible Note Indenture Trustee with respect to the non-substantive consolidation of the
Debtors’ bankruptcy estates pursuant to this Plan.

     Finally, pursuant to the Intercreditor Settlement and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, the Debtors, the
Prepetition Lenders, the Creditors’ Committee and the Old Convertible Note Indenture Trustee agree
that any provision contained in the Old Convertible Note Indenture purporting to subordinate the
right of payment of holders of Old Convertible Notes to the rights of Prepetition Lenders shall be
null and void and all Prepetition Lenders shall waive any right to enforce such a provision solely
for purposes of the settlement described therein.

     All documents implementing the terms of the Intercreditor Settlement, including the Trust
Stock Appreciation Rights, shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Equity
Investors, the Creditors’ Committee and the Prepetition Investors.

     11.4 Release of Certain Parties. As of the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration,
the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and any Person
seeking to exercise the rights of the Estates, including, without limitation, any successor to the
Debtors or any estate representative appointed or selected pursuant to section 1123(b)(3) of the
Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed to forever release, waive, and discharge the Released Parties of
all claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action,
including the Prepetition Lender Actions, and liabilities which the Debtors or the Estates are
entitled to assert, whether known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent,
foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured, existing or hereafter arising, in law, equity, or
otherwise, based in whole or in part upon any act or omission, transaction, or occurrence taking
place on or prior to the Effective Date in any way relating to the Debtors, the Estates, the
conduct of the Debtors’ businesses, the Chapter 11 Cases, this Plan or the Reorganized Debtors with
respect to each of the Released Parties; provided, however, that nothing contained
herein is intended to operate as a release of any potential claims by the Debtors and their Estates
against parties who have executed Tolling Agreements with the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases,
but only with respect to Claims covered by such Tolling Agreements and only to the extent that such
Tolling Agreements continue to be in full force and effect and the tolling periods contemplated
thereby have not expired as of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein,

A-60

 

nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to release any of the Debtors, Equity Investors, the Term Loan
Facility Commitment Parties or any of their Affiliates from their obligations under this Plan, the
New Credit Facilities, the Investment Agreement, the Commitment Letter, the New Third Lien Term
Loan Credit Facility, the Trust Stock Appreciation Rights or the New Convertible Secured Note
Indenture and the transactions contemplated thereby.

     11.5 Releases by Holders of Claims. As of the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration,
the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, each holder of a Claim that affirmatively votes in favor
of this Plan hereby forever releases, waives, and discharges all claims, obligations, suits,
judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, causes of action, and liabilities, including the
Prepetition Lender Actions, whatsoever against the Released Parties, arising under or in connection
with or related to the Debtors, the Estates, the conduct of the Debtors’ business, the Chapter 11
Cases, this Plan (other than the rights under this Plan and the contracts, instruments, releases,
indentures, and other agreements or documents delivered hereunder) or the Reorganized Debtors,
whether liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown,
foreseen or unforeseen, then existing or thereunder arising, in law, equity, or otherwise, that are
based in whole or 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 Estates, the conduct of
the Debtors’ businesses, the Chapter 11 Cases, this Plan or the Reorganized Debtors;
provided, however, that nothing contained herein is intended to operate as a
release of any potential claims by third parties against any parties that have signed Tolling
Agreements with a third party, but only with respect to Claims covered by such Tolling Agreements
and only to the extent that such Tolling Agreements continue to be in full force and effect and the
tolling periods contemplated thereby have not expired as of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, this Plan shall not discharge, enjoin or restrain the assertion,
institution or enforcement of any claims against any non-debtor parties (a) that may be held by the
Securities and Exchange Commission or (b) with respect to the Pension Plans, including any claim
for breach of fiduciary duty or any claim asserted by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

     11.6 Setoffs. Except with respect to Claims specifically Allowed under the Plan, including the
Prepetition Lender Claims, the Debtors may, but shall not be required to, set off against any
Claim, and the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to this Plan in respect of such
Claim, claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors may have against such Claimholder; but
neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or
release by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors of any such claim that the Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors may have against such Claimholder.

A-61

 

     11.7 Exculpation and Limitation of Liability. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this
Plan, the Released Parties, any of such parties’ respective present officers, directors, managing
members, employees, advisors, attorneys, representatives, financial advisors, investment bankers,
or agents and any of such parties’ successors and assigns, shall not have or incur, and are hereby
released from, any claim, obligation, right, Cause of Action and liability to one another or to any
Claimholder or Interestholder, or any other party in interest, or any of their respective agents,
employees, representatives, financial advisors, investment bankers, attorneys or Affiliates, or any
of their successors or assigns, for any act or omission in connection with, relating to, or arising
out of (i) the filing and prosecution of the Chapter 11 Cases, (ii) the negotiation and execution

and the New Third Lien Term Loan Credit Facility, (iii) the negotiation and filing of this Plan,
(iv) the pursuit of confirmation of this Plan, (iv) the negotiation and pursuit of approval of the
Disclosure Statement, (v) the consummation of this Plan, and (vi) the administration of this Plan

reasonably rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities under
this Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 11.7 shall not
release any party from any claim, obligation, right, Cause of Action or liability arising from any
act or omission committed in bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     11.8 Indemnification Obligations. Except as specifically provided in Sections 6.4 and 6.7 of this
Plan, in satisfaction and compromise of the Indemnitees’ Indemnification Rights: (a) all
Indemnification Rights except those held by (i) Persons included in either the definition of
“Insured Persons” or the “Insureds” in any of the policies providing the D&O Insurance, and (ii)
Professionals, but only to the extent that they have expressly been granted Indemnification Rights
in the documents filed with the Bankruptcy Court and only to the extent that such Indemnification
Rights are determined to be valid and enforceable, shall be released and discharged on and as of
the Effective Date; provided that the Indemnification Rights excepted from the
release and discharge shall remain in full force and effect on and after the Effective Date and
shall not be modified, reduced, discharged, or otherwise affected in any way by the Chapter 11
Cases; (b) the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, covenant to use commercially
reasonable efforts to purchase and maintain D&O Insurance providing coverage for those Persons
described in subsection (a)(i) of this Section 11.8 whose Indemnification Rights are not being
released and discharged on and as of the Effective Date, for a period of six years after the
Effective Date insuring such parties in respect of any claims, demands, suits, Causes of Action, or
proceedings against such Persons based upon any act or

A-62

 

omission related to such Person’s service with, for, or on behalf of the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors in at least the scope and amount as currently maintained by the Debtors (the “Insurance
Coverage”); and (c) the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, hereby
indemnify such Persons referred to in subclause (b) above to the extent of, and agree to pay for,
any deductible or retention amount that may be payable in connection with any claim covered by
either under the foregoing Insurance Coverage or any prior similar policy.

     11.9 Injunction. The satisfaction, release, and discharge pursuant to this Article XI of
this Plan shall also act as an injunction against any Person commencing or continuing any action,
employment of process, or act to collect, offset, or recover any Claim or Cause of Action
satisfied, released, or discharged under this Plan to the fullest extent authorized or provided by
the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, to the extent provided for or authorized by
sections 524 and 1141 thereof.

     11.10 Central States Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan
and assuming that no complete withdrawal as contemplated pursuant to 29 U.S.C. §§ 1383 and 1385
occurs prior to or in connection with this Plan (all as previously agreed to in the Settlement
Agreement dated November 14, 2006 (as approved by the Bankruptcy Court on November 13, 2006)), any
claim against or liability of (including, without limitation, any liability or claim for withdrawal
liability under 29 U.S.C. §§ 1383 and 1385) any of the Debtors or any third-party to the Central
States Fund, a multi-employer plan as that term is defined by 29 U.S.C. § 1301(a)(3) (the
“Central States Plan”), specifically including Claim Nos. 9205, 9206, 9207, 9208, 9209,
9214, 9215, 9216 and 9217, is left unimpaired under this Plan, shall not be discharged and shall
continue unaltered as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced, nor shall any third-party be
released from any liability or claim that the Central States Plan may have against that third-party
as a result of any one of the Debtor’s participation in the Central States Plan. The Debtors shall
seek inclusion of the foregoing in the Confirmation Order. In light of the foregoing provisions,
the Central States Plan shall have no right to receive any distribution on account of the Complete
Withdrawal Claim (as such term is defined in the Settlement Agreement referred to in this Section
11.10) and shall not be permitted to vote on or object to this Plan on account of such contingent
claim. Nothing contained herein is intended to alter the terms of the Settlement Agreement
referred to this Section 11.10.

     11.11 Other Pension Plans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, to the

State Teamsters Conference Pension and Retirement Fund, Western Pennsylvania Teamsters and
Employers Pension Fund and New England Teamsters and Trucking Industry Pension

A-63

 

Fund has not yet been incurred and remains a potential withdrawal liability of the Debtors as of
the Effective Date, then such withdrawal liability claim shall continue unaltered as if the Chapter
11 Cases had not been commenced, nor shall any third-party be released from any potential
withdrawal liability claim that the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store International Union and
Industry Pension Fund, New York State Teamsters Conference Pension and Retirement Fund, Western
Pennsylvania Teamsters and Employers Pension Fund and New England Teamsters and Trucking Industry
Pension Fund may have against a third-party as a result of the Debtors’ participation in the
Retail, Wholesale and Department Store International Union and Industry Pension Fund, New York
State Teamsters Conference Pension and Retirement Fund, Western Pennsylvania Teamsters and
Employers Pension Fund and New England Teamsters and Trucking Industry Pension Fund. None of the
foregoing shall have a right to receive any distribution on account of a withdrawal liability claim
that has not yet been incurred and remains a potential withdrawal liability claim and shall not be
permitted to vote on or object to this Plan on account of such withdrawal liability claim.

regardless of the circumstances giving rise to the failure of such condition to be satisfied
(including any action or inaction by the Debtors in their sole discretion). The failure of the

further proceedings involving the Debtors, or to constitute an admission of any sort by the Debtors
or any other Person.

WISCONSIN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY

6.25% Debentures due December 1, 2015

	1.	 	Interest.
	 
	 	 	Wisconsin Electric Power Company (the “Company”), a Wisconsin corporation, promises to pay
interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. The
Company will pay interest semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year commencing June
1, 2009. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest
has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from December 11, 2008. Interest will be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
	 
	2.	 	Method of Payment.
	 
	 	 	The Company will pay interest on the Securities to the persons who are registered holders of
Securities at the close of business on the record date for the next interest payment date,
except as otherwise provided in the Indenture. Holders must surrender Securities to a
Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in
money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public
and private debts. The Company may pay principal and interest by check payable in such
money. It may mail an interest check to a holder’s registered address.
	 
	3.	 	Securities Agents.
	 
	 	 	Initially, U.S. Bank National Association will act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and
Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Transfer Agent without notice. The
Company or any Affiliate may act in any such capacity. Subject to certain conditions, the
Company may change the Trustee.
	 
	4.	 	Indenture.
	 
	 	 	The Company issued the securities of this series (the “Securities”) under an Indenture dated
as of December 1, 1995 (the “Indenture”) between the Company and U.S. Bank National
Association (as successor to Firstar Trust Company) (the “Trustee”). The terms of the
Securities include those stated in the Indenture and in the Securities Resolution
establishing the Securities and those made part of the Indenture by the Trust Indenture Act
of 1939 (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb). Securityholders are referred to the
Indenture, the Securities Resolution and such Act for a statement of such terms.
	 
	5.	 	Redemption.
	 
	 	 	The Securities will be redeemable as a whole at any time, or in part from time to time, at
the Company’s option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the
principal amount of the Securities being redeemed or (b) the sum of the present values of
the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest
accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate

2

 

	 	 	applicable to the Securities plus 50 basis points, plus accrued interest to the redemption
date.

	 	 	“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected
by an Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable
to the remaining term of the Securities being redeemed that would be utilized, at the time
of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of
corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Securities.
	 
	 	 	“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (a) the average of
the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the
highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (b) if the Trustee obtains
fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such
quotations.
	 
	 	 	“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the
Trustee after consultation with the Company.
	 
	 	 	“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Banc of America Securities LLC, Goldman, Sachs &
Co., Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., their
respective successors, and two other primary U.S. government securities dealers in The City
of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) selected by us. If any Reference Treasury Dealer
shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, we will select another Primary Treasury Dealer
which will be substituted for that dealer.
	 
	 	 	“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer
and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked
prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its
principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30
p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
	 
	 	 	“Treasury Rate” means with respect to any redemption date, the rate per year equal to the
semiannual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the
Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as
a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such
redemption date; provided that, if the Reference Treasury Dealers shall determine that there
is no such Comparable Treasury Issue, such rate per year shall be equal to the estimated
semiannual equivalent yield to maturity that a United States Treasury security having a
maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities to be redeemed would bear, if
such security were available, such estimate to be made by the Reference Treasury Dealers on
the basis of interpolation, extrapolation and other accepted financial practices, taking
into account (a) the yields to maturity of United States Treasury securities of other
maturities, (b) yields to maturity of other U.S. dollar denominated debt securities having a
maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities to be redeemed and (c)
applicable interest rate spreads between United States

3

 

	 	 	Treasury securities and such other debt securities, all as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

	 	 	Procedures for the redemption of the Securities will be governed by Article 3 of the
Indenture.
	 
	6.	 	Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.
	 
	 	 	The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and whole
multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be
exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Transfer Agent may require a holder, among
other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any
taxes and fees required by law or the Indenture. The Transfer Agent need not exchange or
register the transfer of any Security or portion of a Security selected for redemption.
Also, it need not exchange or register the transfer of any Securities for a period of 15
days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed.
	 
	7.	 	Persons Deemed Owners.
	 
	 	 	The registered holder of a Security may be treated as its owner for all purposes.
	 
	8.	 	Amendments and Waivers.
	 
	 	 	Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended with the
consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the securities of all series
affected by the amendment. Subject to certain exceptions, a default on a series may be
waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the series.
	 
	 	 	Without the consent of any Securityholder, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended,
among other things, to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; to provide for
assumption of Company obligations to Securityholders; or to make any change that does not
materially adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder.
	 
	9.	 	Restrictive Covenants.
	 
	 	 	The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Company initially limited to
$250,000,000 principal amount. The Company may from time to time without notice to, or the
consent of, the holders of the Securities, create and issue further securities of the same
series, equal in rank to the Securities in all respects (or in all respects except for the
payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of the new securities or except for the
first payment of interest following the issue date of the new securities) so that the new
securities may be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities and have the
same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Securities. The Indenture does not
limit other unsecured debt. Section 4.07 of the Indenture, which if applicable limits
certain mortgages and other liens, will apply with respect to the Securities. The
limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions.

4

 

	10.	 	Successors.
	 
	 	 	When a successor assumes all the obligations of the Company under the Securities and the
Indenture, the Company will be released from those obligations.
	 
	11.	 	Defeasance Prior to Redemption or Maturity.
	 
	 	 	Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some or all of its
obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee
money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the
Securities to redemption or maturity. U.S. Government Obligations are securities backed by
the full faith and credit of the United States of America or certificates representing an
ownership interest in such Obligations.
	 
	12.	 	Defaults and Remedies.
	 
	 	 	An Event of Default includes: default for 60 days in payment of interest on the Securities;
default in payment of principal on the Securities; default for 60 days in the payment of any
sinking fund obligation with respect to the Securities; default by the Company for a
specified period after notice to it in the performance of any of its other agreements
applicable to the Securities; certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency; and any other
Event of Default provided for in the series. If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities
may declare the principal of all the Securities to be due and payable immediately.
	 
	 	 	Securityholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the
Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the
Indenture or the Securities. Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or
power. The Trustee may withhold from Securityholders notice of any continuing default
(except a default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding
notice is in their interests. The Company must furnish an annual compliance certificate to
the Trustee.
	 
	13.	 	Trustee Dealings with Company.
	 
	 	 	U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any
other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the
Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with those persons, as if it were not
Trustee.
	 
	14.	 	No Recourse Against Others.
	 
	 	 	A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any
liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for
any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each

5

 

	 	 	Securityholder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver
and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

	15.	 	Authentication.
	 
	 	 	This Security shall not be valid until authenticated by a manual signature of the Registrar.
	 
	16.	 	Abbreviations.
	 
	 	 	Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder or an assignee, such as:
TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entirety), JT TEN (=joint tenants
with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), U/G/M/A
(=Uniform Gifts to Minors Act), and U/T/M/A (=Uniform Transfers to Minors Act).

The Company will furnish to any Securityholder upon written request and without charge a copy of
the Indenture and the Securities Resolution, which contains the text of this Security in larger
type. Requests may be made to: Corporate Secretary, Wisconsin Electric Power Company, 231 West
Michigan Street, P.O. Box 2046, Milwaukee, WI 53201.

EXHIBIT 2

6.25% Debentures

Supplemental Terms

     In addition to the terms set forth in Exhibit 1 to Securities Resolution No. 9, the 6.25%
Debentures shall have the following terms:

     Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the
meaning given such terms in the Indenture. The following is an additional definition applicable to
the 6.25% Debentures:

“Depositary” means, with respect to the 6.25% Debentures, issued as one or more global
Securities, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, or any successor thereto
registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or other applicable statute or
regulation.

     Section 2. Securities Issuable as Global Securities.

     (a) The 6.25% Debentures shall be issued in the form of one or more permanent global
Securities and shall, except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, be registered only in the
name of the Depositary or its nominee. Each global Security shall bear a legend substantially to
the following effect:

“Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust
Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to the Company or its agent for registration of
transfer, exchange, or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede &
Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any
payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR
TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest
herein.”

     (b) If at any time (i) the Depositary with respect to the 6.25% Debentures notifies the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such global Security or (ii)
the Depositary for the 6.25% Debentures shall no longer be eligible or in good standing under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or other applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall
appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such global Security. If a successor Depositary for
such global Security is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such
notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Transfer Agent shall register the exchange of
such global Security for an equal principal amount of Registered Securities in the manner provided
in Section 2.07 of the Indenture.

 

 

     (c) The Transfer Agent shall register the transfer or exchange of a global Security for
Registered Securities pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Indenture if (i) a Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the 6.25% Debentures, or (ii) the
Company determines that the 6.25% Debentures shall no longer be represented by global Securities.

     (d) In any exchange provided for in the preceding paragraphs (b) or (c), the Company will
execute and the Registrar will authenticate and deliver Registered Securities. Registered
Securities issued in exchange for a global Security shall be in such names and denominations as the
Depositary for such global Security shall instruct the Registrar. The Registrar shall deliver such
Registered Securities to the persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

     (e) The 6.25% Debentures will trade in the Depositary’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System.
All payments of principal and interest on global Securities will be made by the Company in
immediately available funds.
