SUMMARY OF PLAN

Pursuant to the Plan, Aspider Solutions, Inc. (Aspider) will form a new entity (Newco) to
acquire substantially all of the assets of the Debtor. Newco plans to continue the Debtors operations,
uninterrupted, post-confirmation. In exchange for the Debtors assets, Newco will pay or transfer the
following value to the Debtor for distribution to its creditors, and/or assume and pay the following
liabilities:
1. Newco will provide the Debtor cash at Closing (the Purchase Price Cash), which will
fund the proposed cash distributions to creditors proposed in the Plan;

10
11
12

2. Newco will execute a combined $4.75 million in promissory notes in favor of Opus Bank
($750,000 note) and T-Mobile USA, Inc. (T-Mobile) ($4,000,000 note);
3. Newco will make available 40% of the ownership interests in Newco, with estimated value
of $1,771,136;

13
14
15
16
17
18

4. Newco will assume and pay the Debtors post-petition Ordinary Course Administrative
Expense Claims (excluding the post-petition claim of T-Mobile discussed in the next
paragraph) which are comprised primarily of trade credit extended to the Debtor post-petition
by its trade creditors and vendors, as well as personnel expenses, taxes, and other similar
expenses, all in an amount estimated to be $1,000,000 - $1,400,000, depending on the actual
closing date; and
5. Newco will also assume and pay T-Mobiles Administrative Expense Claim accruing from
January 1, 2015 through the Effective Date of the Plan, estimated to be $1,500,000 or more. TMobile has agreed to waive its estimated $1,400,000 unpaid Administrative Expense Claim
that accrued prior to December 31, 2014.

22

The above-described transaction (the Aspider Transaction) is the product of significant


efforts by the Debtor to locate a potential party interested in acquiring its going concern business and
continuing operations and represents the outcome that provides the greatest value to the Debtors
creditors, including pre-petition and post-petition obligations. The Debtor had discussions with over
21 interested parties and provided meaningful due diligence information to 9 of those parties.
Ultimately, Aspider emerged as the most strategic party and the one willing to provide by far the
highest and best value to the estate.

T-Mobile provides the backbone that allows the Debtor to provide cellular and data services to
its customers. T-Mobile has consented to accept a significant discount of its prepetition secured
claims and post-petition administrative claims in order to support the Aspider Transaction. Without
T-Mobiles consent and cooperation, it would be impossible for the Debtor to continue its operations
and no creditors, with the possible exception of very nominal value to Opus Bank, will receive any
value.

Likewise, Opus Bank, the Debtors senior secured lender has also agreed to accept a

amount of the lesser of (a) 5% of

$250,000 (the Class 6 Note).

Finally, the remaining cash paid to the estate as part of the Aspider Transaction will be used
1) to pay negotiated amounts to Cure Claims with respect to those of the Debtors executory contracts
to be assumed and assigned to Newco at Closing, 2) to pay allowed Administrative Expense Claims
(excluding the T-Mobile Administrative Expense Claims, the treatment of which is described above)

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

A.

11

Founded in late 2011, the Debtor sells mobile phone service to consumers using an innovative
online, mobile and social model the company refers to as Social Commerce. As of the Petition
Date, the Debtors equity was held by the individuals and entities set forth in Exhibit A hereto, in the
amounts set forth therein. Instead of using traditional advertising and a traditional sales force, the
Debtor relies on individual consumers, communicating with each other and other potential customers
using social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, to sell its products online. The Debtors
approach allows consumers to receive goods and services they use every day at a discounted price,
and also rewards consumers with the opportunity to earn income by referring the Debtors products to
others.

Historical Background and Events Leading to Bankruptcy

The Debtor launched its first product, nationwide mobile phone service, approximately 30
months ago, in September 2012. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor has signed up over 250,000
total members and operated at a current annual revenue rate of approximately $65 million. The
Debtor buys its mobile phone service on a wholesale basis from T-Mobile USA, Inc. and then sells it
to its customers starting at $29 per month for unlimited 4G LTE voice, text, and data service.
As of the Petition Date, the Debtor was headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, had 51
employees and contracted for an additional 160 dedicated call center representatives and offshore
development resources that provide member support and technology services respectively.
Because of its Social Commerce model and innovative technology, the Debtor was named a
winner of the 2014 Red Herring Top 100 Award, a prestigious award honoring the year's most
promising and innovative private technology companies. See

The Debtor created a technology platform to facilitate its Social Commerce model. All of the
Debtors customers, referred to by the company as members, have access to this technology
platform, which includes proprietary tools allowing members to communicate with each other,
purchase and sell the Debtors products, keep track of potential referral prospects, and manage their
referral commissions.
The Debtor also rewards its members by paying them each month for every mobile subscriber
they personally refer to the Debtor and for building significant networks of mobile subscribers. As of
the Petition Date, the Debtor paid a $5 referral commission each month for every subscriber a member
personally referred to the Debtor and this monthly commission continues for as long as the referred
subscriber remains a customer. Members that have built large networks of customers can receive
significant monthly commission payments ranging from $100 and more based on the size of their
network. Network size is based on the number of active mobile subscribers that is directly related to
the growth from those that they had referred to the Debtor. Members receive their commissions as a
discount to their mobile service bill, and earnings beyond the cost of their monthly bill are deposited
onto a Solavei branded Visa debit card or transmitted directly to their checking account. Referral fees
that do not take the form of billing discounts are paid to members monthly.
As of the Petition Date, approximately 35,000 of the Debtors members had built networks
qualifying for commissions. Many members are families with less than $45,000 in annual income,
meaning that the cost of essential cell/data service and the ability to receive income through the
Debtors referral system are meaningful issues for these customer/members.

12

15

In spite of its rapid growth and ability to generate substantial revenues, the Debtor encountered
financial challenges. The Debtor initially scaled its business infrastructure to support a larger network
of members than was actually needed. In addition, vendor costs, in particular the cost of wholesale
mobile services purchased from T-Mobile, exceeded expectations due to higher than anticipated
customer usage. Over time, the company was able to restructure many costs and vendor obligations,
and in the summer of 2013, it reached agreement with its major service providers, including T-Mobile,
on cost revisions that were better aligned with projected revenues.

Due to the unique and innovative social referral distribution model, the Debtor struggled with
structuring the appropriate member commission model. The amount of commission payments owed
to members for referrals and network building activities exceeded initial expectations. The Debtor
had initially targeted and agreed to pay 50 percent of its gross profit to members in the form of
commissions. However, as members found ways to maximize their commissions in ways not
anticipated under the commission plan, the company was actually paying some 83 percent or more of
its gross profits to members. The Debtor substantially revised the commission plan in March 2013
and again in January 2014, to bring its overall payout closer to the sustainable 50 percent level.
The combination of these issues stressed the companys working capital and liquidity as it
worked to recover from initial vendor costs and member commission structures that proved
unsustainably high. As a result of this stress on working capital and liquidity, the company found it
necessary to file its Chapter 11 bankruptcy with the intention of restructuring its existing liabilities
and growing its business.

Rejection of Office Lease. By order entered September 26, 2014, the Court
authorized the Debtor to reject its office lease as of July 31, 2014. Post-rejection, the Debtor has been
leasing office space on a month-to-month basis from Regus Management Group, LLC for
approximately $30,000 per month.

Events Leading to the Sale Transaction

Post-filing, the Debtor worked diligently to operationally restructure its business. The
operational restructure has included substantial expense reductions of approximately $380,000 per
month, achieved through modifications of various relationships with vendors, reduction in personnel
(from approximately 100 personnel on site to 36) and reduced lease costs (from approximate $71,000
per month to $30,000 per month), among others.

The Debtor also meaningfully revised its compensation plan for member/customers in order to
drive expansion of its customer base. The new compensation plan began October 1, 2014.
Unfortunately, serious technology issues outside of the Debtors control were encountered in
implementing the new compensation plan, in large part due to an unprecedented total outage suffered
by the Debtors billing partner, which occurred on the day before the Debtors main promotional event
in October. Customer retention and additions have finally stabilized.
Notwithstanding the new compensation plan and the reduction in costs achieved by the
Debtor, the Debtors cash flow has been insufficient to fund its budgeted post-petition obligations.
Without the ability to fund its ongoing expenses, the Debtor would have been required to immediately
cease operations. Fortunately, T-Mobile, the Debtors largest vendor and supplier, has been willing to
allow the Debtor to pay less than the full amount of its invoices, which has allowed the Debtor to
continue operations and remain current with all of its other post-petition obligations to its other
vendors, suppliers, taxing authorities, customer/members, and employees. Had it been necessary to
cease operations, because the Debtors assets consist primarily of its subscriber-members, who would
have needed to immediately migrate to other networks to obtain cellular service, and of the technology
developed to enable social commerce distribution, there would have been virtually no value remaining
in the Debtors assets for the first-position lien holder, Opus Bank, or any other creditors.
3.

The Benefits of the Proposed Aspider Transaction.

The Debtor offers mobile service to its members as a mobile virtual network operator
(MVNO), a service provider that does not own the mobile network infrastructure. The Debtor has
developed its industry leading Social Commerce platform that leverages the power of social media to
facilitate the buying and selling of mobile service and directly rewards participating consumers.
Aspider is a leading global mobile virtual network enabler (MVNE) that provides the necessary
mobile network infrastructure to MVNOs. Aspider currently serves as MVNE to over 70 MNO
(Mobile Network Operator)/MVNO customers and provides service to millions of subscribers. As a
full service organization with hundreds of employees and a solid 12-year track record of providing
comprehensive mobile enablement, Aspider is integrated with some of the largest mobile operators in
the world such as Vodafone, Orange, and Deutsche Telecom across Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin
America.

The Aspider Transaction will combine the strength of the Debtors Social Commerce platform
with Aspiders mobile service enabling platform, resulting in significant benefit to Solaveis
members. Solavei will be able to deliver enhanced mobile service to a far broader global member
base. Solavei will have the advantage of Aspiders significantly greater network utilization in terms
of negotiating carrier pricing which will, in turn, allow Solavei to deliver more competitive offerings
and enhanced services for its members. Through the Aspider Transaction, Solavei will be able to
offer in-network pricing and capabilities to a global member base on country-to-country calling,
which will be groundbreaking for Solavei and a competitive advantage against other MVNOs.
Because Aspider can provide many of the services for which Solavei currently obtain through
contracts with third parties, the proposed transaction will allow Solavei to significantly streamline and
enhance its business. The mobile service platform provided by Aspider provides advanced
capabilities that will allow Solavei to rapidly deploy various mobile services to its members. For its
part, Aspider will integrate Solaveis social commerce platform into its existing technology platform,
making it available to millions of subscribers and the MVNOs and MNOs providing them service.
This platform will create a fully managed mobile service ecosystem including network wholesale,
retail infrastructure and social engagement.
Ryan Wuerch will remain CEO and Chairman, along with other executives from Solavei
continuing to lead its growth and expansion.

Trade Secret Lawsuits.

During the case, the Debtor learned that some of the parties involved in the failed prepetition
merger discussions, as well as some of the Debtors former employee(s), may have unlawfully used
trade secrets and other confidential information to build and promote competing businesses.
Pursuant to this Courts employment order (Docket No. 226), the Debtor engaged litigation
counsel at the Texas law firm of Schiffer Odom Hicks & Johnson PLLC (Contingent Fee Counsel)
to pursue claims against these individuals and entitles (the Trade Secret Claims) and has filed two
lawsuits in which it is represented by counsel on a contingency fee basis: Solavei, LLC vs. SGE
Management LLC, et al, pending in the Dallas County 192nd District Court, Case No. DC-15-00782
(the Stream Lawsuit); and Solavei, LLC v. Robert McFadden, Social Mobile, pending in King
County Superior Court, Case No. 15-2-00505-7 SEA (the McFadden Lawsuit), (together, the
Trade Secret Lawsuits). Any net proceeds, after payment of fees and costs, generated by the Trade
Secret Lawsuits (the Trade Secret Lawsuit Proceeds) will be preserved for and distributed to
creditors pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

indebted to Opus in the principal amount of $4,800,000, plus interest. Pursuant to the Security
Agreement and a UCC-1 financing statement filed with the state of Delaware on July 11, 2013 (File
No. 2013 2658962), Opus Bank holds a first position security interest in all of the Debtors personal
property.

b.
T-Mobile. T-Mobile U.S.A., Inc. (T-Mobile) holds a prepetition claim in the
amount of approximately $21,615,653 arising from the prepetition relationship between the parties
pursuant to which the Debtor purchased mobile service from T-Mobile on a wholesale basis. The
prepetition claim consists of the Debtors unpaid deferred balance due to T-Mobile as of the Petition
Date. A UCC-1 financing statement in favor of T-Mobile was filed on October 4, 2013 (DE file no.
2013 3905248) with respect to the following collateral:
[a]ll mobile service customer accounts, all contract rights relating to Debtors mobile
service customer agreements, all Receivables (rights to payment from Debtors mobile
service customers), all data, mobile service customer lists and books and records and
proceeds relating to the foregoing.

Post-petition, T-Mobile holds accrued unpaid claims for services provided to the Debtor. In
the post-petition period ending with December 31, 2014, this amount totaled approximately $1.4
million. Since January 1, 2015, T-Mobile has continued to accrue an Administrative Expense Claim
for unpaid services, with its agreement. Assuming the Plan is confirmed, T-Mobile will waive its
Administrative Expense Claim through December 31, 2014, and its remaining Administrative
Expense Claim will be paid according to the terms set forth in the Plan.
c.
Noteholders. Numerous individuals and entities (collectively, the
Noteholders) loaned funds to the Debtor in connection with two tranches of financing identified as
Bridge and Tranche B. The Debtors cumulative principal obligations on these tranches of
financing are as follows:

Security Agreements were executed in favor of all of the Noteholders with respect to the
Bridge and Tranche B financings, and two UCC-1 financing statements were filed in favor of the
Noteholders, one on September 24, 2013 (DE file no. 2013 3723526) and one on October 11, 2013
(DE file no. 2013 4010352). Pursuant to the UCC-1 filings, the Noteholders hold perfected security
interests in all of the Debtors assets.

Priority Tax Claims. The nature of the Debtors business in telecommunications
operations involves operations in numerous tax reporting jurisdictions around the United States.
Many of these jurisdictions reflect nominal tax amounts incurred from one-time customers in
locations where mobile service was not adequate to sustain a customer base. All claims for taxing
authorities due on the Petition Date were scheduled as Disputed, meaning that in order to assert a
claim, a taxing authority needed to file a timely Proof of Claim.

Taxing entities filed total of 62 Proofs of Claim in the case asserting priority tax claims in the
total amount of $306,012.52.
3.

Wage Claims.

A number of the Debtors former employees hold Priority Wage Claims for amounts incurred
within 180 days of the Petition Date. Under the Bankruptcy Code, these prepetition claims are
entitled to priority treatment up to the amount of $12,475.00 or less per employee (each, a Priority
Wage Claim). According to the Debtors records, Priority Wage Claims total $25,755.00.

Additionally, the Debtors current employees who will be employed by Newco postconfirmation are have claims against the Debtor related to their employment with the Debtor (the
Continuing Employment Claims). The Continuing Employment Claims will be assumed and paid
by Newco.
4.

General Unsecured Claims ( including Ascentium Corporation).

The Debtors schedules reflect that, as of the Petition Date, there were $19,759,380.47 in
general unsecured claims. Claimants filing proofs of claim have asserted $20,791,808.69 in general
unsecured claims. This amount does not include potential claims related to rejection of executory
contracts or claims for deficiency, if any, by Claimants holding Allowed Secured Claims.

On or about April 17, 2013, the Debtor executed a promissory note in favor of Ascentium
Corporation (Ascentium), an unsecured creditor, in the amount of $899,211.63. The Debtor never
executed a security agreement or other document describing any collateral or containing a grant of a
security interest in favor of Ascentium. Over nine months later and without notifying the Debtor,
Ascentium, without authority, caused a UCC-1 financing statement to be filed in Delaware in which
Ascentium Corporation identified itself as the secured party and the Debtor as the debtor and
inaccurately and improperly indicated that Ascentium holds a security interest in all of the Debtors
assets. The Debtor did not prepare, execute or authorize Ascentium to file the financing statement.
Ascentium Corporation filed a proof of claim in the Bankruptcy asserting a secured claim in the
amount of $1,001,360.32 (the Ascentium Proof of Claim). At the time it files its Plan or shortly
thereafter, the Debtor has filed or will file an objection to the Ascentium Proof of Claim on the basis
that the Debtor never granted a security interest to Ascentium in anything and that Ascentium
improperly filed a UCC-1 financing statement. The Plan properly treats Ascentium as an unsecured
claim in Class 6.

The term Impaired as used herein refers to those creditors to whom this Disclosure

Pro Rata Share of 20% of the Trade Secret Lawsuit Proceeds, if any, however, if, pursuant to the terms
of the Contingent Fee Agreement, the Holders of Unsecured Class 3 Claims reimburse Contingent Fee
Counsel for its expenses thereby insuring the lower applicable contingent fee, then the Holders of
Unsecured Class 3 Claims shall receive the marginal benefit due to such cost reimbursement (Cost
Reimbursement Benefit). Attached as Exhibit B to the Plan is a chart that shows the percentage
sharing of the Trade Secret Lawsuit Proceeds under the possible scenarios, taking into account
whether the Holders of Class 3 Unsecured Claims have or have not reimbursed Contingent Fee
Counsels costs. The Holder of an Allowed Unsecured Class 3 Claim shall not be entitled to receive

Lawsuit Proceeds.

Noteholders (through their receipt of 40% of the Newco Equity Interests) and by Aspider and/or other
investors who fund the cash to consummate the Aspider Transaction (60% of the Newco Equity
Interests). The Aspider Agreement provides for a management incentive program to be instituted by
the Newco Board, after formation of Newco and the Closing/Effective Date. Currently, there is no
written or oral agreement as to the terms of this management incentive program, though the program
will incentivize management with respect to forward looking performance and success and will not
compensate any person due to that persons existing role with the Debtor. The Newco Board will be
comprised of directors and governed as set forth in the Aspider Agreement. With respect to current
members of the Debtors senior management team, it is assumed that the following individuals will be
employed by Newco in the same or similar roles as their current roles at similar compensation levels:

10

The Debtor has provided to the Committee its analysis of potential Avoidance Actions. In
large part, these would be based on payments to non-insider creditors, primarily the Debtors vendors
and suppliers, within 90 days of the Petition Date. Such payments may be recovered as preferences, if
late, and if no defenses existed. The total amount of late payments to non-insiders within 90 days
prior to the Petition Date totaled approximately $2,630,000. Many of these payments may be subject
to defenses, including unpaid new value outstanding on the Petition Date. In addition, Aspider
disfavors preference actions against the Debtors former vendors and suppliers, as this may negatively
impact Aspiders ability to maintain going-forward relationships with these key vendors. With
respect to payments to insiders during the year before the Petition Date, the Debtors analysis,
provided to the Committee, shows all such payments were 1) made timely according to the terms of
the relevant instrument(s); or were 2) for salary or expense reimbursements.

Based on the above, the Plan provides for waiver of all Avoidance Claims.

payment of distributions to holders of Claims, no payment or distribution shall be made to the Holder
of any Disputed Claim until the time such Claim has been determined to be an Allowed Claim.
Notwithstanding the existence of a Disputed Claim in a Class to which a distribution under the Plan is
due, such distribution to other creditors shall not be affected by any delay in the resolution of the
Disputed Claim. Upon the allowance of any Disputed Claim, the Holder shall be paid the amount that
such Holder would have received had its Claim been an Allowed Claim on the Effective Date.

setting forth each executory contract and/or unexpired lease that the Debtor proposes to assume and
assign to Newco under the Plan (each, a Designated Contract) and shall serve the Designated
Contracts List on the non-debtor parties to the relevant Designated Contracts. The Plan constitutes a

ARTICLE IX.
LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS

6
7
8
9
10
11
12

The Bankruptcy Code requires that a creditor with a right to vote either accept the Plan, or that
such creditor receive under the Plan at least as much as it would receive if the debtors assets were
liquidated in and the proceeds distributed under a Chapter 7 liquidation. This is generally known as
the best interests test. To apply the test, a debtors assets are valued at the dollar amount that would
be generated from their distressed liquidation in the context of a Chapter 7 case by a trustee appointed
by the Bankruptcy Court. The estimated values take into account the costs and expenses of the
liquidation, and such additional administrative and priority claims that may result from the
termination of the debtors business and the use of Chapter 7 for the purpose of liquidation. Net
liquidation proceeds would be paid to general unsecured creditors only to the extent funds are
available after secured creditors have been paid the full value of their collateral and priority creditors
receive full payment on their claims. In the event of conversion to a case under Chapter 7 of the
Code, in order to complete the distribution to creditors, the estate would incur a Chapter 7 trustees fee
paid in the percentages indicated by 11 U.S.C. 326.

13
14
15
16
17

In the event of a Chapter 7 liquidation, the Debtors business would immediately cease and, its
customers would immediately migrate to a new carrier in order to continue uninterrupted service.
Because the Debtors customers are essentially invisible to T-Mobile, the provider of the backbone
to the Debtor, T-Mobile would be unable to migrate the Debtors customers to its platform. The value
of the Debtors customer base would be lost. The Debtors remaining assets would likely have little
or no value, as the remaining assets are primarily software and intellectual property designed by the
Debtor to support its customer base. The only potential assets available in a Chapter 7 liquidation
would likely be any Trade Secret Lawsuit Proceeds and Avoidance Claims, all of which are
unencumbered assets, meaning that no existing creditor holds a lien or first right to these assets.

18
19
20
21

The Plan proposes to distribute twenty percent (20%) of the Trade Secret Lawsuit Proceeds to
Class 3 Claims, after reduction for the value of the 40% Newco Equity Interests distributed to those
Claims, and eighty percent (80%) of the Trade Secret Lawsuit Proceeds to Class 6 Claims. In a
liquidation, all creditors, not just Class 6 and Class 3 would be entitled to share in the Trade Secret
Lawsuit Proceeds, if any. This would substantially dilute the percentage of the Trade Secret Lawsuit
Proceeds that would go to Class 3 Claims or Class 6 Claims. The following shows the pool of
creditors that will share in the Trade Secret Lawsuit Proceeds in a liquidation (all creditors):

In a Chapter 7 scenario, before any funds would be distributed on account of prepetition


claims, these Administrative Expense Claims would need to be paid, along with the Chapter 7
trustees expenses. This would include any Trade Secret Lawsuit Proceeds and any recoveries from
Avoidance Claims. As discussed herein, the Debtors analysis is that there is not a likelihood of
substantial recovery from Avoidance Claims. At best, the proceeds generated by a Chapter 7 trustee
from avoidance claims would be only a small reduction in the approximately $3,500,000 in Chapter
11 Administrative Claims detailed above. This essentially means that the only potential recovery for
creditors in a Chapter 7 would be from the Trade Secret Lawsuit Proceeds, if any. Even ignoring the
Chapter 11 Administrative Expense Claims, the proposed Plan treats all creditors far better than they
would be treated in a liquidation.
Following is a comparison of the proposed Plan treatment of various Classes and the outcome
in a liquidation, again, ignoring the $3,500,000 of Chapter 11 Administrative Expense Claims that
would likely further dilute the recoveries in a liquidation:

TAX CONSEQUENCES

A.

Tax Consequences for Debtor

6
7
8
9

The Debtor is a Delaware limited liability company taxed as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes. As such, any federal income tax liability is incurred and paid, if due, by its members.
While the Plan anticipates significant cancellation of indebtedness (COD), it is not anticipated that
this COD will create any federal income tax liability for the Debtor or its Estate. The Debtor is unable
to offer an opinion as to whether partnership minimum gain will be triggered under Treas. Reg.
1.704-1(b)(2) and (d), whether partnership minimum gain chargeback would be triggered under Treas.
Reg. 1.704-2, or any other effect under Subchapter K of the IRC.

10
11

The Plan may or may not create tax consequences to the Equity Holders in connection with the
inclusion in their allocable shares of partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, credit and other items
in their taxable income. The Debtor offers no opinion on these matters.

CLAIM OR INTEREST IF THE PLAN NEVERTHELESS IS CONFIRMED.

If more than one-half in number of claimants voting and at least two-thirds in amount of the
Allowed Claims of such claimants in each Class of Claims vote to accept the Plan, such Classes will
be deemed to have accepted the Plan. If at least two-thirds in amount of the shares voted in a Class of
Interests are voted to accept the Plan, such Class will be deemed to have accepted the Plan. For
purposes of determining whether a Class of Claims or Interests has accepted or rejected the Plan, only
the votes of those who have timely returned their ballots will be considered.

B.

The hearing on confirmation of the Plan has been set for ____________________, 2015
before the Honorable Timothy W. Dore, United States Bankruptcy Judge, Courtroom 8106, 700
Stewart St., Seattle, WA, 98101. The Bankruptcy Court shall confirm the Plan at that hearing only if
certain requirements, as set forth in 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, are satisfied.

As previously indicated herein, in order to satisfy one of the requirements under 1129, the
Debtor must establish that with respect to each Class 1 through Class 6, each holder of a Claim in that
Class has accepted the Plan or will receive or retain under the Plan on account of such Claim property
of a value that is not less than the amount that such Holder would receive if the Debtor were to be
liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. Based upon the liquidation analysis set forth in
Section VII above, the Debtor believes that the Plan satisfies the requirements of the best interests of
creditors standard. Accordingly, the Debtor anticipates that the Court will find that the Plan satisfies
the best interests of creditors standard at the time of the hearing on Confirmation.
The Plan contemplates full payment to creditors, and thus, it satisfies the best interests of
creditors standard.

The Debtor must also establish that confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the
Debtors liquidation, or the need for further financial reorganization. For purposes of determining
whether the Plan meets this requirement, the Debtor has analyzed Newcos ability to meet the
obligations it is assuming under the Plan and has prepared projections (the "Projections") through
December 2017. The Projections, and the significant assumptions upon which they are based, are
attached as Exhibit C to this Disclosure Statement. Based on the Projections, the Debtor believes that
Confirmation is not likely to be followed by the liquidation or further financial reorganization of the
Debtor. To the extent necessary, the Debtor will present additional evidence at the hearing on
Confirmation in support of such a finding.

E.

The Bankruptcy Code requires the Bankruptcy Court to find that the Plan does not
discriminate unfairly, and is fair and equitable, with respect to each class of claims or interests that is
impaired under, and has not accepted, the Plan. Upon such a finding, the Bankruptcy Court may
confirm the Plan despite the objections of a dissenting class. The Debtor has requested that the Court
confirm the Plan even if creditors holding claims in Impaired Classes do not accept the Plan. The
Debtor has negotiated with and reached agreed terms for treatment of the claims in Classes 1, 2, 3, and
6 (with the Committee).

F.

11

Confirmation of the Plan shall operate on the Effective Date as a discharge of the Debtor from
all Claims and indebtedness that arose before the Effective Date, except for those unclassified Claims
that the Debtor agrees to pay as a continuing obligation. All such discharged Claims and indebtedness
shall be satisfied by the cash payment or other consideration provided under the Plan. Upon
Confirmation, all property of the Debtor shall be free and clear of all Claims and Interests of creditors,
except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the order of the Bankruptcy Court confirming the Plan.
The Reorganized Debtor shall be vested with all assets of the Debtor. The provisions of the Plan shall
bind the Debtor and all other parties in interest, including any creditor of the Debtor, whether or not
such creditor is impaired under the Plan and whether or not such creditor has accepted the Plan.

12

G.

13

In the event the Court declines to confirm the Plan, whether due to a failure of creditor support
or otherwise, the Court may approve a competing plan. Alternatively, a liquidation of the Debtors
assets might ultimately result, either through a revised Plan under Chapter 11 or conversion of this
Chapter 11 case to a bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code with the increased trustee
fees and delays that will follow.
