5. Steelcase, Inc., shall have relief from the automatic stay to
obtain possession of the Premises in the event Debtors do not vacate the

III. TREATMENT OF NONCLASSIFIED CLAIMS
Administrative Expenses & Priority Claims
1. Except as provided in paragraphs 2 and 3, below, the holders of
Allowed Claims entitled to priority under Section 507(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code, except professional fees requiring court approval under Section 330 of
the Bankruptcy Code, shall be paid on the Effective Date or as soon thereafter
as such a claim becomes an Allowed Claim, except to the extent a holder of such
claim has agreed to other treatment. Professional fees shall be paid upon court
approval of a duly noticed fee application. All such Administrative Expense
Claims and Priority Claims shall retain their priority status until paid in
full. Such priority status shall continue in the event such claims are not paid
under this Plan, including, but not limited to, conversion of this case to

retain jurisdiction to address Debtors' objections to any fees.

<PAGE>
IV. SPECIFICATION AND TREATMENT OF CLASSIFIED CLAIMS
Holders of Allowed Claims shall receive the distributions set forth in
this Article on account of, and in complete satisfaction of, all such Allowed
Claims.
All stock issued pursuant to this Plan shall be issued on the Effective
Date or as soon thereafter as is practicable. No fractional shares will be
issued, but will instead be rounded to the next nearest whole number.
1. Class 1 is impaired and consists of the Allowed Secured Claim
of Pacific Business Funding Corporation ("PBF"). PBF's Allowed Secured Claim is
comprised of the indebtedness and obligations of Debtors to PBF under certain
factoring agreements in effect at the commencement of the Chapter 11 cases,
which provide for a receivables line of credit (the "Factoring Agreements") and
related warrants for acquisition of Debtors' Equity Securities. The obligations
and indebtedness of Debtors under the Factoring Agreements are secured by a
security interest in all of the Debtors' personal property assets, described in
the Factoring Agreements as all "Collateral." This Plan shall not alter the
legal, equitable, or contractual rights of PBF except that all warrants held by
PBF to purchase shares of Debtors' Equity Securities shall be canceled on the
Effective Date and, on the Effective Date, PBF shall receive warrants to
purchase 50,000 shares of Reorganized LVL common stock at $0.50 per share.
PBF shall continue to be paid under and pursuant to the terms of
the Factoring Agreements and shall retain its liens upon and security interest
in all Collateral until it receives full and final payment of all
DEBTORS' FIRST AMENDED JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
-8-
<PAGE>
"Obligations" under and as defined in the Factoring Agreements. In the event
PBF continues to provide financing to Reorganized LVL, PBF may enter into a new
factoring agreement with Reorganized LVL and may incorporate in such new
factoring agreement all of the Obligations of Debtors to PBF under the
Factoring Agreements. All of the Debtors' obligations under any new factoring
agreement, including the Obligations under the Factoring Agreements, shall be
secured by all of the personal property assets of Reorganized LVL.
2. Class 2 Bridge Investor is Trident III, LLC ("Trident").
Trident loaned Debtors $600,000 ("Bridge Funding'), secured by Debtors'
leasehold interest in 499 University Avenue (480'Cowper Street), Palo Alto,
California ("Leasehold"). When the Order confirming the Plan becomes a Final
Order, Trident's security interest in the Leasehold shall terminate. Trident
shall be issued 600,000 shares of redeemable common stock in Reorganized LVL,
redeemable at $1.00 per share. These shares shall be redeemable only in the
event that there is a post-confirmation financing for a minimum of $3 million.
In addition, Trident shall be issued 440,000 shares of non-redeemable common
stock in Reorganized LVL.
3. Class 3 is impaired and consists of the Allowed Secured
Claim, if any, of The Dot Printer, Inc., a California corporation ("Dot"). To
the extent the Bankruptcy Court determines that Dot is secured pursuant to 11
U.S.C. Section 506, such amount shall be paid in full in equal quarterly
payments, including principal and interest, over a period of five (5) years
from the Effective Date, including interest at the rate of ten percent (10%)
per annum or such other interest rate as may be
DEBTORS' FIRST AMENDED JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
-9-
<PAGE>
determined by the Bankruptcy Court if Dot objects to such rate. Any unsecured
portion of Dot's claim will be treated as a non-priority, unsecured claim in
Class 5, below. To the extent secured by Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code and
not otherwise avoidable, Dot will retain its lien (other than a lien on the
leasehold being transferred to Steelcase under the Plan) with the same
validity, priority and effect it held immediately prior to the filing date of
the Chapter 11 cases.
4. Class 4-A is impaired and consists of the Allowed Secured Claim,
if any, of George Rice & Sons, a division of World Color Press, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Rice"). To the extent the Bankruptcy Court determines
that Rice is secured and/or is not avoidable pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sections
506 and 547 or other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, such amount
shall be paid in full in equal quarterly payments, including principal and
interest, over a period of five (5) years from the Effective Date, including
interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum or such other interest rate
as may be determined by the Bankruptcy Court if Rice objects to such rate. Any
unsecured portion of Rice's claim will be treated as a non-priority, unsecured
claim in Class 5, below. To the extent secured by Section 506 of the Bankruptcy
Code and not otherwise avoidable, Rice will retain its lien (other than a lien
on the leasehold being transferred to Steelcase under the Plan) with the same
validity, priority and effect it held immediately prior to the filing date of
the Chapter 11 cases.
Class 4-B is impaired and consists of the Allowed Secured Claims,
if any, of any other Creditors who obtain judgment liens or any other type of
judicial liens (including but not limited to attachments,
DEBTORS' FIRST AMENDED JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
-10-
<PAGE>
temporary protective orders, liens pursuant to an Order of Examination, or
personal or real property judgment liens) against Debtors' assets. To the extent
the Bankruptcy Court determines that any Class 4-B creditor is secured and/or is
not avoidable pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sections 506 and/or 547 or other provisions
of the Bankruptcy Code, such amount shall be paid in full in equal quarterly
payments, including principal and interest, over a period of five (5) years from
the Effective Date, including interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per
annum or such other interest rate as may be determined by the Bankruptcy Court
if any Class 4-B creditor objects to such rate. Any unsecured portion of any
Class 4-B creditor's claim will be treated as a non-priority, unsecured claim in
Class 5, below. To the extent secured by Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code and
not otherwise avoidable, any Class 4-B creditor will retain its lien (other than
a lien on the leasehold being transferred to Steelcase under the Plan) with the
same validity, priority and effect it held immediately prior to the filing date
of the Chapter 11 cases.
5. Class 5 is impaired and consists of all non-priority Allowed
Unsecured Claims. Each Claimant with an Allowed Claim in Class 5 shall receive a
pro rata portion of 600,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
("Preferred Stock") in Reorganized LVL, unless such Claimant elects to receive
Cash in lieu of such portion pursuant to the next paragraph.
Class 5 Claimants holding claims of $5,000 or less may elect to receive
10% of their Allowed Claims, in Cash, on the Effective Date, in lieu of
receiving Preferred Stock in Reorganized LVL. In addition, Class 5 Claimants
holding Allowed Claims in excess of $5,000 may elect to
DEBTORS' FIRST AMENDED JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
-11-
<PAGE>
reduce their Allowed Claims to $5,000 and receive $500 on the Effective Date
(10% of the reduced Allowed Claim), in lieu of receiving Preferred Stock in
Reorganized LVL. The election by any Class 5 Claimants to receive cash on the
Effective Date rather than Preferred Stock in Reorganized LVL pursuant to this
provision is hereinafter referred to as the "Cash Option." The pool of 600,000
preferred shares of Reorganized LVL will be reduced by the percentage in dollar
amount of Allowed Claims electing the Cash Option.
The Preferred Stock shall have the rights, privileges and preferences as
follows:
a. Dividend Preferences. The holders of the Preferred
Stock shall, upon the vote of the majority of the Board of Directors, be
entitled to receive, out of any funds legally available therefor, cumulative
dividends at a rate of $0.05 per share, per year, prior and in preference to
any payment of any dividend on the common stock. Such dividends shall be paid
when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors. The dividend rights and
preferences of the Preferred Stock shall be senior to those of the common
stock. After the dividend preferences of the Preferred Stock due in a given
year have been paid in full, all remaining dividends in such year, if any,
shall be paid equally on the common stock and the Preferred Stock.
b. Liquidation Preference. In the event of any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Reorganized LVL, or the sale, merger
or combination of Reorganized LVL, a public offering in excess of $25 million,
a merger or consolidation of Reorganized LVL in which its shareholders do not
retain a majority of the voting power in the
DEBTORS' FIRST AMENDED JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
-12-
<PAGE>
surviving corporation, or a sale of all or substantially all of Reorganized
LVL's assets (singularly or collectively referred to as a "Liquidation
Preference Event") or a Liquidating Preference Event of LVL Subsidiary (as
hereafter defined) if LVL is not merged into Digital, the holders of the
Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an amount equal to $6.67 per share
for the Preferred Stock, plus an amount equal to all declared but unpaid
dividends thereon (the "Preference Amount"). After the Preference Amount on all
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock has been paid, any remaining funds and
assets of Reorganized LVL legally available for distribution to shareholders
shall be distributed pro rata solely among the holders of the common stock. If
Reorganized LVL has insufficient assets to permit payment of the Preference
Amount in full to all holders of the Preferred Stock, then the assets of
Reorganized LVL shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Preferred
Stock in proportion to the Preference Amount each such holder would otherwise
be entitled to receive. Reorganized LVL shall give Class 5 Claimants holding
Preferred Stock thirty (30) days advance written notice prior to a Liquidation
Preference Event and such persons shall have the right to convert to common
stock as described below during such thirty (30) day period.
c. Redemption. The Preferred Stock shall be redeemable
in part or in full at the option of Reorganized LVL on thirty (30) days advance
written notice to the holders of the Preferred Stock for a redemption price of
$6.67 per share. Upon receipt of notice of Reorganized LVL's intention to
redeem the Preferred Stock, each holder of the Preferred Stock shall have the
option to convert to common stock
DEBTORS' FIRST AMENDED JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
-13-
<PAGE>
as described below. Any partial redemption shall be made on a pro rata basis.
d. Conversion Right. Each holder of the Preferred Stock
shall have the right to convert the Preferred Stock into shares of common stock
in part or in full at any time, including within 30 days after notice by
Reorganized LVL of its intention to redeem the Preferred Stock or of a
Liquidation Preference Event. The initial conversion rate for the Preferred
Stock shall be one-for-one. All rights incident to a share of Preferred Stock
(including but not limited to rights to any declared but unpaid dividends) will
terminate automatically upon any conversion of such share into common stock.
e. Antidilution Provisions. The number of shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion of each share of Preferred Stock shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events
described below and the number of shares of common stock issuable for each
share of the Preferred Stock at any given time shall be subject to adjustment
as follows: In the event Reorganized LVL shall (i) pay a dividend or make a
distribution on its shares of common stock in shares of common stock, (ii)
subdivide or reclassify its outstanding common stock in shares of common stock
into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding
common stock into a smaller number of shares, the conversion ratio in effect at
the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the
effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be
proportionately adjusted so that the holder of the Preferred Stock converted
after such date shall be entitled to receive the aggregate
DEBTORS' FIRST AMENDED JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
-14-
<PAGE>
number and kind of shares which, if the Preferred Stock had been converted by
such holder immediately prior to such date, the holder would have owned upon
such conversion and been entitled to receive upon such dividend, subdivision,
combination or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successively
whenever any such event listed above shall occur. The conversion ratio shall
be adjusted upon issuance of additional common stock or rights to acquire common
stock at a price of less than $1.00 per share, except those rights
specifically required or permitted in connection with this Plan.
f. Voting Rights. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have
the right to vote as a class on (i) the merger, sale, liquidation or
dissolution of Reorganized LVL and/or LVL Subsidiary, (ii) a sale of all or
substantially all of Reorganized LVL's or LVL Subsidiary's assets, (iii) any
increase in the number of authorized shares of any class or series of
Reorganized LVL Equity Securities, (iv) creation of any new class or series of
Equity Securities in Reorganized LVL and/or LVL Subsidiary, (v) any increase in
the number of members of the Board of Directors of Reorganized LVL and LVL
Subsidiary, and (vi) election of one member of the Board of Directors of
Reorganized LVL and LVL Subsidiary.
g. Board Representation. The rights of the holders of the
Preferred Stock to elect a member of the Board of Directors shall terminate once
(1) more than 50% of the Preferred Stock has converted to common stock, (2) a
Liquidation Preference Event has occurred, or (3) more than 50% of the Preferred
Stock has been redeemed.
h. Information Rights. Reorganized LVL will furnish holders of
the Preferred Stock with annual unaudited consolidated
DEBTORS' FIRST AMENDED JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
-15-
<PAGE>
financial statements together with such notes and commentary by management as is
usual and customary, as well as copies of all form 10-Q's and 10-K's filed by
Reorganized LVL.
i. EXEMPTIONS. Stock and warrants being issued to Classes 1,
2, 5 and 6-A in exchange for a claim against or interest in or a claim for an
administrative expense in the case (and all securities issued upon conversion or
exercise of such stock and warrants) are exempt pursuant to the provisions of
ss.1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. However, this provision shall nor be
construed as limiting any restrictions imposed on holders of control securities
by Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or contractual
limitations imposed by this Plan.
j. CONTRACTUAL LIMITATIONS. Stock and warrants issued to
Classes 1, 2, 5 and 6-A and the shares issued to Mackenzie Shea, Inc. ("MSI")
and certain others will be subjected to the lock-up provisions described below
("Lock-up Provisions"). Lock-Up Provisions are contractual provisions on the
ability to transfer shares evidenced by a written agreement that shares will not
be sold, hypothecated, pledged, encumbered, or otherwise transferred for a
particular period of time and further evidenced by a legend on the stock
certificate. Lock-Up Provisions for shares issued to Classes 1, 2, 5, 6-A and
MSI and certain others as follows:
(1) Class 2 shares are subject to a twelve (12) month
Lock-Up Provision imposed as of the close of merger into Digital or acquisition
of LVL, and shall be released from such Lock-up Provision as follows: (a)
one-third after six (6) months; (b) one-third after nine
-16-
<PAGE>
(9) months; and (c) one-third after twelve (12) months ("Initial Class 2
Lock-Up"). Reorganized LVL may, at its discretion, release shares owned by Class
2 earlier than the release schedule set forth herein.
(2) Shares issued to (i) Classes 1, 5 and 6-A Claimants
and/or Equity Security holders and (ii) MSI and any other affiliates of Debtors,
as well as shares issued on exercise of options or warrants issued in connection
with this Plan to any affiliate of Debtors and to underwriters in connection
with the Post-Confirmation Investment shall not be sold by their holders for
twelve (12) months after the close of merger into Digital or Digital's
acquisition of LVL ("Initial General Lock-Up"). Such shares may be further
subject to subsequent Lock-Up Provisions imposed by underwriters in conjunction
with further financing representing a minimum of $1 million in the event such
financing occurs within the initial twelve (12) month restriction period, but,
with respect to Class 5, shall apply only to Class 5 holders who receive one
hundred (100) or more shares of stock in Reorganized LVL (the "Additional
Lock-Up"). The Additional Lock-Up, if it occurs, shall apply equally to all
parties receiving stock hereunder except Class 2, Class 5 creditors who receive
less than 100 shares, and the pre-existing shares of Digital. Reorganized LVL
shall have the right to release shares subject to the foregoing Lock-Up
Provisions as to any number of shares of Equity Securities provided that any
release of less than all Equity Securities subject to such Lock-Up Provisions
shall be allocated pro rata among all holders of such Equity Securities.
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Initial Class 2
Lock-Up, the Initial General Lock-Up and the Additional Lock-Up shall
-17-
<PAGE>
not prevent the sale, transfer or encumbrance of such securities in transactions
outside the public market if the transferor receives from the transferee written
acknowledgment that the securities will continue to be subject to the foregoing
restrictions in the hands of the transferees.
6. CLASS 6 Equity Security Interests:
a. CLASS 6-A is impaired and consists of the holders of common
stock of LVL which is not canceled on the Effective Date pursuant to "Insider
Shareholder Notes," paragraph V.D., below. Class 6-A equity holders whose stock
is not canceled on the Effective Date (Calbert Lai, Steven Venuti and Don
Sanders) shall receive pro rata portions of 600,000 shares of common stock in
Reorganized LVL in exchange for their Equity Security interests in LVL.
In addition to restrictions set forth in subparagraph 5(j)(2), above,
shares issued to Class 6-A Equity Security Holders may not be sold, transferred
or otherwise disposed of until the earliest of (1) thirty-six months (36) months
after the Effective Date, (2) a Liquidation Preference Event, or (3) the closing
bid price reported on the NASDAQ market system for the common stock of
Reorganized LVL has exceeded the conversion price of the Preferred Stock for ten
consecutive trading days. An encumbrance of such shares shall not be deemed to
be a sale or transfer.
b. CLASS 6-B is impaired and consists of the holders of all
rights to acquire common stock of Debtors, excluding PBF's warrants specifically
addressed in Class 1, above. All vested and unvested rights of Class 6-B shall
be canceled upon Confirmation.
-18-

c. Class 6-C is impaired and consists of LVL, the holder of
Equity Securities in LVLA and LVLi. LVL holds 100% of the Equity Securities of
LVLA and LVLi. All Equity Securities held by LVL in LVLA and LVLi shall be
canceled on the Effective Date and in conjunction with the merger of LVLA and
LVLi into LVL.
V. MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN: SOURCE OF FUNDS
A. Formation and Capitalization of Reorganized Debtor: Digital will
merge with LVL or acquire Debtors' shares and will issue or reserve up to

court Confirmation of Debtor's Plan.
Upon the Effective Date, (a) LVLA and LVLi shall be merged into LVL, and
(b) LVL shall be merged into Digital or become its wholly owned subsidiary ("LVL
Subsidiary"). Concurrently, Digital shall file amended Articles of Incorporation
which (a) rename the corporation "LVL Communications, Inc.," (b) authorize

distributed to PBF, (b) the common stock to be issued to Trident, (c) the

In addition:
(a) Reorganized LVL may establish a stock option plan under which
options may be granted to acquire not more than 1,400,000 shares of common stock
of Reorganized LVL, provided that (i) such options may only be granted to
existing and future employees and consultants of Reorganized LVL, (ii) the
exercise price under such options shall be not less than the fair market value
of such shares on the date of grant, and (iii) such options shall vest ratably
over a period of not less than three years from the date of grant. The

shall vest as follows: (1) one-half of the options shall vest ratably over a
period of not less than three years from the date of grant, and (2) the
remaining one-half of the options shall not vest until Reorganized LVL has had
sales of at least $12 million for any 12 consecutive month period and
Reorganized LVL is profitable on a quarterly basis throughout that same 12 month
period.
(b) Reorganized LVL may also issue 1,000,000 or more shares of
common stock at $1.25 or more per share to accredited investors for
post-Confirmation financing ("Post-Confirmation Investment"). In addition,
Trident and/or its affiliate will receive warrants in conjunction with the
Post-Confirmation Investment. Further, Reorganized LVL may issue 1,000,000
shares of common stock to MSI. Any shares issued to MSI shall be deemed control
securities whose resale is limited by Rule 144.

to MSI or its affiliates.
No other rights to acquire Equity Securities may be issued by Reorganized
LVL in connection with this Plan, nor may any shares of LVL Subsidiary or rights
to acquire such shares be issued. However, this restriction shall not prohibit
Reorganized LVL from issuing additional Equity Securities after consummation of
these transactions contemplated by the Plan as long as such issuances do not
violate the terms of this Plan.
Confirmation of the Plan is conditioned upon Trident having loaned Debtors
a minimum of $400,000 prior to filing of their Chapter 11 cases.
B. Liquidity and Transferability of Post-Confirmation Equity
Interests: Not later than 90 days after the Effective Date, Reorganized LVL
shall file an application for listing of its common stock on NASDAQ and shall
diligently pursue such application.
No representations are made to any party concerning the tax attributes and
effects of issuance of shares, options and warrants pursuant to the Plan. You
are advised to consult your own tax adviser.

same rights and responsibilities as to the LVL Subsidiary as does the Board of
Reorganized LVL.

Tom Schultz has acted as Chief Operating Officer for LVL on a contract
basis. He will be compensated by Debtors and/or Reorganized LVL for his services
to Debtors and/or Reorganized LVL on an hourly basis until the hiring of a full
time Chief Operating Officer. After such time, his sole Cash compensation shall
be one-half of the MSI $10,000 monthly fee and he shall cease to act as Chief
Operating Officer. Mr. Schultz will serve on Reorganized LVL's Board of
Directors, Compensation Committee and Audit Committee.

-24-
<PAGE>
based on any act or omission prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 cases,
and (c) all Equity Securities in Debtors owned by Employee Shareholders shall
also be canceled (the "Canceled Employee Shares"). These provisions do not
affect Don Sanders.
E. Media Obligations: A compromise among the Debtors, the media
creditors listed on Exhibit "A" ("Media Creditors"), S3 and Fujitsu is being
negotiated pursuant to which, at confirmation of the Plan S3 would pay up to
$125,000 to LVL and Fujitsu would pay up to $100,000 to LVL in full satisfaction
of their respective obligations to LVL, and the media creditors listed on
Exhibit "A" who consent to this settlement will be deemed to have released S3
and Fujitsu from all claims arising from advertising placed on their behalf by
LVL. Such payments by S3 and/or Fujitsu will be reduced, pro rata, for any Media
Creditor who does not consent to the compromise or eliminated entirely if S3 or
Fujitsu rejects the settlement because it has not been consented to by all Media
Creditors associated with its obligation.
F. Treatment of Security Interests: All security interests and liens
including, but not limited to judicial liens and attachments, are extinguished
at Confirmation except security interests existing in favor of PBF and any
security interests determined to be held by Classes 3, 4-A and 4-B Claimants
which are preserved under the express terms of this Plan.

H. Steelcase Lease Assumption: Debtor shall assume and assign the
lease with RRC Partners for the premises located at 499 University Avenue (480
Cowper Street), Palo Alto, California to Steelcase, Inc., pursuant to the
agreement Debtor entered into with Steelcase, Inc., regarding such assignment.
On the Effective Date the following contractual requirements shall be performed:
(1) to the extent the automatic stay remains in effect after the Effective Date,
such automatic stay shall be vacated to permit Steelcase, Inc., to obtain
possession of the premises and to perform under the terms of the Steelcase
Agreement; (2) Steelcase, Inc., shall be granted possession of the subject
premises as of May 1, 1998 free and clear of all liens and encumbrances; and (3)
any indemnity claim that Steelcase, Inc., establishes as valid against LVL shall
be granted administrative priority in the bankruptcy case. Confirmation of this
Plan shall be deemed to be approval of such assumption and assignment by the
Bankruptcy Court and constitute a finding that the Steelcase, Inc., transaction
is not a fraudulent conveyance.
I. Continuing Creditors' Committee Notwithstanding Confirmation, the
Committee shall continue to serve in the case until all agreements, documents,
and securities required or permitted in connection with the Plan are entered
into, executed and delivered, and/or issued. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Committee shall have the right to (a) investigate and require
the Debtor to file objections to the allowance of any claim or interest pursuant
to the provisions hereof relating to Disputed Claims, (b) approve the form,
prior to the effectiveness thereof, of all agreements, documents, and
DEBTORS' FIRST AMENDED JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
-26-
<PAGE>
securities required or permitted in connection with this Plan (including the
agreement for merger or acquisition with Digital Power Holding Company, the
amended Articles of Incorporation thereof, and the provisions of any stock
options or warrants required or permitted hereunder) for the purpose of assuring
that such agreements, documents, and securities conform to the terms of this
Plan, and (c) employ and cause the Debtors and/or Reorganized LVL to compensate
professionals for services rendered after Confirmation in such amounts as the
Committee shall consider appropriate (subject to the right of the Debtors or
Reorganized LVL to request review by the Bankruptcy Court of the reasonableness
of such compensation). The Committee's right under clause (b) of the preceding
sentence shall include the right to bring a motion before the Bankruptcy Court
to compel modification of such agreements, documents, and/or securities to cause
them to conform to the terms of this Plan.
VI. RECOVERY OF AVOIDABLE TRANSFERS
The Debtors may commence any adversary proceeding to recover transfers
avoidable under the Bankruptcy Code within the time specified in the Bankruptcy
Code.
VII. UNPAID CLAIMS RESERVE
1. Except to the extent the Bankruptcy Court shall determine that a
sufficient reserve for Disputed Claims is less than the full amount asserted by
the holder thereof, in determining the amount of distributions due to the
holders of Allowed Claims and to be reserved for Disputed Claims, the
appropriate Pro Rata calculations required by
DEBTORS' FIRST AMENDED JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
-27-
<PAGE>
section IV of this Plan shall be made as if all Disputed Claims were Allowed
Claims.
2. On the Effective Date, all distributions that would be delivered
to holders of Disputed Claims if they were Allowed Claims shall be deposited by
the Debtors in the Unpaid Claims Reserve.
3. All Cash held in the Unpaid Claims Reserve shall be invested in
such investments as are permitted under Section 345 of the Bankruptcy Code.
The earnings on such investments shall be first applied to reimburse the Debtors
for their costs and expenses incurred in connection with the maintenance of the
Unpaid Claims Reserve and the making of distributions subsequent to the
Effective Date. All earnings in excess of such costs and expenses shall be held
in the Unpaid Claims Reserve and shall be distributed only in the manner set
forth below.
4. When a Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, the distributions
due on account of such Allowed Claim shall be released from the Unpaid Claims
Reserve and disbursed to the holder of such Allowed Claim. If the objection is
resolved in favor of the Debtors, the funds (including interest) and/or
Reorganized LVL Equity Securities will be distributed Pro Rata among the other
members of the Class to which the Claimant belongs.
VIII. UNCLAIMED PROPERTY
1. Unclaimed Property shall be deposited in the Unpaid Claims
Reserve to be held in trust for the benefit of the holders of Allowed Claims
entitled thereto. For a period of ninety (90) days following each attempted
distribution, Unclaimed Property shall be held in the Unpaid Claims Reserve
solely for the benefit of the holders of Allowed Claims
DEBTORS' FIRST AMENDED JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
-28-
<PAGE>
which have failed to claim such Property. During such ninety (90) day period,
Unclaimed Property due the holder of an Allowed Claim shall be released from the
Unpaid Claims Reserve and disbursed to such holder upon presentation of proper
proof by such holder of its entitlement thereto.
2. At the end of ninety (90) days after each attempted distribution,
