2.5. Whenever the Plan provides for a debt or obligation, or a note or instrument
evidencing a debt or obligation, to bear interest at a specific rate, and the class of claims or
interests to be replaced, satisfied or evidenced by such debt or obligation rejects the Plan on
account of the rate of interest so proposed, or objects to the Plan on account of such rate of
interest, the Court, at a hearing on Confirmation, may consider such rate of interest and accept
any offered evidence or argument in support or opposition thereof and make a determination that
the proposed rate of interest is appropriate or not. If the Court, after such consideration, finds the
proposed rate of interest to not be appropriate under the Code, it may determine what rate of
interest would be appropriate, in which case the Debtor may, without further notice or hearing,
amend or modify the Plan to provide such rate of interest on such obligation as the Court
determines to be appropriate and proceed to obtain Confirmation of the Plan, as so amended or
modified.

2.6. Any obligation or payment imposed by this Plan shall be pre-payable without
penalty.

2.7. Notice. Any notice required to be given to Debtor, or to the Reorganized Debtor,
shall be sent by certified mail to its mailing address: 805 N Richardson Ave, Roswell, NM

counsel at: Giddens & Gatton Law, P.C., 10400 Academy NE, Suite 350, Albuquerque, NM,
87111.

2.8. Default. All obligations provided for under this Plan, and all instruments in
evidence thereof, shall have a grace period of fifteen (15) days after written notice of failure to
perform such obligation before any failure shall constitute a default thereof. In the event that the
Debtor disputes whether a default has occurred, either party may request a hearing from the

Debtor’s First Amended Chapter 11 Plan, Page 5

said default, including reasonable attorney’s fees.

proceeding shall be superseded by this Plan and the Order of Confirmation, and the provisions of
such orders shall then be of no further force and effect, except as the same may be contained in
this Plan, or in the Order confirming this Plan.

2.12. For purposes of this Plan, each sub-class of claims (e.g. Class 6B) within a Class
shall constitute a “class” of claims as defined in the Code, and the fact that various sub-classes of
claims are described as being within one general class is for descriptive purposes only.

defect or omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, or in the Confirmation Order, as

ARTICLE 9
RESOLUTION OF CLAIMS DISPUTES

9.1. Unless the holder of a claim filed a proof of claim herein prior to the Claims Bar
Date of February 2, 2019, the amount listed in the Debtor’s schedules of debts filed herein shall
constitute the allowed amount of such claim. However, the listing of a claim in Debtor’s
schedules of debts herein shall not preclude objection to such claims by Debtor, even if such
claim is not listed as disputed or contingent in the schedules. Any holder of a claim not listed in
the Debtor’s schedule of debts filed herein, or listed as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated, was
required to file a proof of such claim prior to the Claims Bar Date of February 2, 2019, or else
such claim will be barred herein to the fullest extent of the law.

9.2. Objections to claims in this proceeding shall be made in writing. Such claims
objections shall be filed with the Court, and shall be served upon the holder of the disputed
claim, at its address of record herein, and upon its counsel of record, if any, and upon counsel for
the Debtor.

9.3. Any person or entity with standing to contest a claim herein pursuant to the Code
and Rules shall be entitled to file an objection to any claim herein. Any such objection to a claim
shall be filed no later than fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date, except that the Debtor may
file an objection to any claim within forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date.

9.4. Any person or entity having standing to dispute a claim may, for good cause,
obtain an Order extending the deadline within which such claim objection must be filed by filing
a Motion to Extend such deadline prior to the deadline, with service thereof on Debtor and any
other entity required by the Code, Rules or Local Rules.

9.5. Claims allowed as of the deadline for objection established pursuant to this
Article shall be conclusively fixed for all purposes at such allowed amount, and shall not
thereafter be amended except on motion or objection of Debtor.

9.6. Any other provision of Article 9 of this Plan notwithstanding, the holder of any
claim disallowed pursuant to Section 502(d) of the Code may pay or turn over to the Debtor any
property which constituted the basis of such disallowance within thirty (30) days of the Order
disallowing such claim, in which event the claim, plus the principal amount of the money
recoverable, shall be automatically allowed providing there is no other pending objection to the
claim. Failure to turnover such money or property within such period shall permanently bar such
disallowed claim, whether or not the Debtor file any adversary proceeding to recover the subject
property or funds pursuant to Section 7.5 above.

9.7. Claims of holders of secured claims for late charges, default interest, attorney
fees, costs or similar additions to the amount of their secured claims accruing post-petition and
prior to confirmation shall be allowed only to the extent allowable under the Bankruptcy Code
and applicable non-bankruptcy law. No attorney fees, costs, default interest or late charges
accruing post-petition and before confirmation shall be allowed unless the holder of a claim
therefore files a statement herein, in the form of a supplemental proof of claim or an

application for approval, stating the amount claimed, the basis for such claim, an itemization of
all such amounts claimed, and, in the case of attorney fees, the claim shall have attached to it
billing statements supporting such fees as are necessary for the Court to determine whether said
fees are reasonable and necessary, and allowable. Such supplemental claim or application
shall be filed within thirty days after the Effective Date. If no such supplemental claim or
application is timely filed, such amounts shall be disallowed. If a claim therefore is timely
filed, a copy of such claim shall be served by the holder of the claim on Debtor’s counsel, and
Debtor shall have twenty one (21) days from the date of filing and service of such claim to file
and serve an objection thereto. If no timely objection is filed, such amounts shall be allowed. If a
timely objection is filed, the Court shall determine the allowable amount of such additional
charges.

ARTICLE 10
DISTRIBUTION AGENT

The Debtor shall make all distributions provided for under this Plan and shall not be
required to post any bond to secure its performance as Distribution Agent hereunder, unless
payments are to be made by a title company approved by the Debtor, its secured creditors and
any purchaser in the ordinary course of closing a sale of the Debtor’s real property. Any
distribution required to be made, or actually made through Debtor’s counsel’s trust account, shall
be considered to be made by Debtor.

11.2.4. Injunctions.

(a) On the Effective Date and except as otherwise provided in the Plan or
the Settlement Agreement, all persons or entities who have been, are, or may be holders of
Claims against the Debtor who also could assert those claims against any shareholder,
officer, director or employee of the Debtor shall be enjoined from taking any of the
following actions against any such third-party, including actions asserting that the third-
party is an “Employer” under applicable non-bankruptcy law:

(i) commencing, conducting or continuing in any manner, directly


or indirectly, any collection activities, including instituting a suit, action or other
proceeding of any kind (including, without limitation, all suits, actions, and
proceedings that are pending as of the Effective Date, which must be withdrawn or
dismissed without prejudice);

(ii) enforcing, levying, attaching, collecting or otherwise


recovering by any manner or means, whether directly or indirectly, any judgment,
award, decree or order;

(iii) creating, perfecting or otherwise enforcing in any manner,


directly or indirectly, any encumbrance; and

(iv) asserting any setoff, right of subrogation or recoupment of any


kind.

(b) The injunctions provided for in sub-section (a) shall remain in effect
for as long as the Debtor is in compliance with this Plan with respect to its obligations to
the holder of any Claim against a co-debtor the Debtor. Such injunctions shall cease to be
of force and effect with respect to the holder of such Claims against the Debtor if there is a
default by the Debtor as defined in Section 2.8 which is not cured as provided in Section 2.9
of this Plan. The cessation of the injunctions shall only apply to any enjoined party whose
claim against the Debtor is the subject of an uncured default.

11.3. Until the Effective Date, nothing contained in this Plan, or in the Disclosure
Statement related to this Plan shall have legal force or effect, nor shall anything set out in the
Plan or Disclosure Statement constitute an admission by the Debtor as to any claim treated
herein, in that this Plan and any related Disclosure Statement is the Debtor’s offer to settle each
and every claim treated herein.

11.4. This Plan is the Debtor’s voluntary, good faith effort to resolve all matters dealt
with herein, and all claims treated herein. Until conclusion of a hearing on confirmation of this
Plan, Debtor reserves the right to withdraw this Plan from consideration for confirmation.
