sufficient cause appearing therefor, the Court hereby makes the following findings offact and

conclusions of law in respect of confirmation of the Plan."

               THE COURT FINDS AND CONCLUDES THAT:

       A.      Filing of Plan. On April 27, 2009, the Debtors filed the Plan as Appendix A to

the Disclosure Statement with Respect to the Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of

Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated and Its Affiliate Debtors (Docket No. 132) (the

"Disclosure Statement").

       B.       Solicitation Procedures Order. On April 27, 2009, the Court entered an order(the

"Solicitation Procedures Order") (Docket No. 126) that, among other things, (i) approved the

Disclosure Statement as containing adequate information within the meaning of section 1125 of

the Bankruptcy Code and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3017, (ii) fixed June 12, 2009 as the date for the

commencement of the Confirmation Hearing, (iii) approved the form and method of notice of the



       Findings offact shall be construed as conclusions of law and conclusions of law shall be construed as
       findings of fact when appropriate. See Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7052.


Confirmation Hearing (the "Confirmation Hearing Notice"), (iv) established certain procedures

for soliciting and tabulating votes with respect to the Plan, and (v) established a voting record

date and voting deadline (the "Voting Record Date" and "Voting Deadline" respectively).

       C.      Transmittal Of Solicitation Package. Solicitation packages containing the

Confirmation Hearing Notice, a ballot and return envelope (such ballot and envelope being

referred to as a "Ballot"), and a CD—ROM containing the Disclosure Statement (with appendices,

including the Plan) and the Solicitation Procedures Order (the "Solicitation Packages"), were

transmitted to Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 10(a)A (collectively, the "Voting Classes"), in accordance

with Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3017(d) and the Solicitation Procedures Order, all as set forth in the FBG

Declaration. In addition, Solicitation Packages were transmitted to the Unimpaired Creditors in

Classes 1, 2, 7, 8, and 9 and to the Holders of Interests in Classes 10(b)A and 10(c)A that

contained notices of nonvoting status in lieu of Ballots, also as set forth in the FBG Declaration.

       D.      Publication Of Confirmation Hearing Notice. The Debtors published the

Confirmation Hearing Notice on May 4, 2009, in the New York Times (national edition), the

Wall Street Journal (global edition), and the Delaware State News as evidenced by the affidavits

of publication filed by representatives from the respective newspapers (the "Affidavits of

Publication") on May 21, 2009 (Docket Nos. 187, 188, and 189).

       E.      Sullivan Declaration. On June 8, 2009, the Debtors filed the Sullivan Declaration

certifying the method and results of the Ballot tabulation for each of the Voting Classes voting to

accept or reject the Plan.

        F.     Exclusive Jurisdiction: Venue; Core Proceeding     (28 U.S.C.     157(b)(2) and

1334(a)). The Court has jurisdiction over the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157

and 1334. Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. Confirmation of the Plan is


a core proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2), and the Court has exclusive jurisdiction to

determine whether the Plan complies with the applicable provisions ofthe Bankruptcy Code and

should be confirmed.

       G.      Judicial Notice. The Bankruptcy Court takes judicial notice of the docket of the

Chapter 11 Cases maintained by the Clerk of the Court and/or its duly—appointed agent, including,

without limitation, all pleadings and other documents filed, all orders entered, and all evidence

and arguments made, proffered or adduced at, the hearings held before the Court during the

pendency ofthe Chapter 11 Cases.

       H.      Transmittal And Mailing Of Materials; Notice. Due, adequate and sufficient

notice of the Disclosure Statement and Plan and of the Confirmation Hearing, along with all

deadlines for voting on or filing objections to the Plan, has been given to all known Holders of

Claims and Interests in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Solicitation Procedures

Order. The Disclosure Statement, Plan, Ballots, Solicitation Procedures Order and the

Confirmation Hearing Notice were transmitted and served in substantial compliance with the

Solicitation Procedures Order and the Bankruptcy Rules, and such transmittal and service were

adequate and sufficient. Adequate and sufficient notice of the Confirmation Hearing and the

other bar dates and hearings described in the Solicitation Procedures Order was given in

compliance with the Bankruptcy Rules and the Solicitation Procedures Order, and no other or

further notice is or shall be required.

        L.      Solicitation. Votes for acceptance or rejection of the Plan were solicited in good

faith and complied with sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 3017

and 3018, the Disclosure Statement, the Solicitation Procedures Order, all other applicable

provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and all other rules, laws, and regulations.


       J.      Ballots. All procedures used to distribute solicitation materials to the applicable

holders of Claims and Interests and to tabulate the Ballots were fair and conducted in accordance

with the Solicitation Procedures Order, the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the local

rules ofthe Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, and all other applicable rules, laws,

and regulations.

       K.      Impaired Classes That Have Voted To Accept The Plan. As evidenced by the

Sullivan Declaration and evidence proffered or adduced at the Confirmation Hearing, which

certified both the method and results of the voting, all Classes that were entitled to vote have

accepted the Plan pursuant to the requirements of sections 1124 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy

Code. Thus, at least one Impaired Class of Claims, determined without including any acceptance

by an insider of any of the Debtors, has voted to accept the Plan with respect to the Debtors.

       L.      Classes 10(b)A and 10(c)A Deemed To Have Rejected The Plan. Classes 10(b)A

and 10(c)A (the "Zero Distribution Classes") will receive no distribution under the Plan and are

deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code.

       M.      Burden Of Proof. The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have met their burden

of proving the elements of sections 1129(a) and (b) of the Bankruptcy Code, by a preponderance

of evidence, which is the applicable evidentiary standard in this Court. The Court also finds that

the Debtors have satisfied the elements of sections 1129(a) and (b) ofthe Bankruptcy Code

under the clear and convincing standard of proof.

       N.      Plan Compliance With Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(1)}. The Plan

complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby satisfying

section 1129(a)(1) ofthe Bankruptcy Code.

              1.     Proper Classification (11 U.S.C. §§ 1122, 1123(a)(1)). In addition to
Administrative Claims and Tax Priority Claims (which are not required to be classified), Article


III ofthe Plan designates nine (9) Classes of Claims and three (3) Classes of Interests for the
Debtors. The Claims and Interests placed in each Class are substantially similar to other Claims
or Interests in each such Class. Valid business, factual and legal reasons exist for separately
classifying the various Classes of Claims and Interests created under the Plan, and such Classes
do not unfairly discriminate between Holders of Claims or Interests. Thus, the Plan satisfies
sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

               2.      Specification Of Unimpaired Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(2)). Section
4.1 of the Plan specifies the Classes of Claims and Interests that are Unimpaired. Thus, the Plan
satisfies section 1123(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

                3.      Specification Of Treatment Of Impaired Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(3)).
Section 4.2 of the Plan specifies the Classes of Claims and Interests that are Impaired under the
Plan. Article V of the Plan specifies the treatment of Claims in all such Classes. Thus, the Plan
satisfies section 1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.

               4.     No Discrimination (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(4)). The Plan provides for the
same treatment by the Debtors for each Claim in each respective Class unless the Holder of a
particular Claim has agreed to less favorable treatment with respect to such Claim. Thus, the
Plan satisfies section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

              5.      Implementation Of Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(5)). The Plan provides
adequate and proper means for implementation ofthe Plan, including, without limitation, (a) the
continued corporate existence of the Company; (b) the initial selection ofdirectors and officers
of Reorganized Group; (c) the corporate constituent documents that will govern Reorganized
Group after the Effective Date; (d) the preservation of certain causes ofaction by the
Reorganized Debtors; (e) cancellation of certain existing securities (the "Existing Securities"),
share certificates {including treasury stock), other instruments evidencing any Claims or Interests
{except such notes or other instruments evidencing indebtedness or obligations of a Debtor that
are Reinstated (as defined below) or amended and restated under the Plan), and all options,
warrants, calls, rights, puts, awards, commitments or any other agreements of any character to
acquire such Existing Securities; (f) the issuance and distribution of new or modified securities
including the Modified IHC Second Lien Notes, the New Common Stock, the Holding Warrants,
and the Group Warrants; (g) the distribution of the Contingent Value Rights; and (h) the creation
of Management Stock Plan Awards. Thus, the Plan satisfies section 1123(a)(5) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

               6.      Prohibition Against Issuance Of Nonvoting Equity Securities And
Provisions For Voting Power Of Classes Of Securities (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(6)). Section 7.4 of
the Plan provides that the certificate ofincorporation and by—laws of Group shall be amended
and restated as necessary to include a provision prohibiting the issuance of nonvoting equity
securities. Such statutory provisions shall be incorporated into the amended and restated
certificate of incorporation of Reorganized Group substantially in the form of the documents
included in Exhibits 7.4(a) and 7.4(b), filed with Bankruptcy Court on May 25, 2009. Thus, the
requirements of section 1123(a)(6) ofthe Bankruptcy Code are satisfied.


                7.      Selection Of Officers and Directors (11 U.S.C. 1123(a)(7)). In the Plan,
as identified publicly prior to the Confirmation Hearing, or as otherwise announced at the
Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors properly and adequately disclosed or otherwise identified the
identity and affiliations of all individuals proposed to serve on or after the Effective Date as the
officers and directors of Reorganized Group including one as of yet to be designated director
which shall be selected prior to the Effective Date. The appointment or employment ofsuch
individuals and the proposed compensation and indemnification arrangements for officers and
directors are consistent with the interests of holders of Claims and with public policy. Thus,
section 1123(a)(7) ofthe Bankruptcy Code is satisfied.

               8.      Additional Plan Provisions (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)}. The Plan‘s provisions
are appropriate and consistent with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including,
without limitation, provisions for (a) distributions to holders of Claims and Interests, (b) the
disposition of executory contracts and unexpired leases, (c) the retention of, and right to enforce,
sue on, settle or compromise (or refuse to do any of the foregoing with respect to) certain claims
or causes of action against third parties, to the extent not waived and released under the Plan,
(e) indemnification obligations, (f) releases by the Debtors and Debtors—in—Possession and
(g) releases by holders of Claims and Interests.

               9.      Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3016(a). The Plan is dated and identifies the entities
submitting it, thereby satisfying Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3016(a).

       O.      Debtors‘ Compliance With Bankruptey Code (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(2)). The

Debtors have complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby

satisfying section 1129(a)(2) ofthe Bankruptcy Code. Specifically, the Debtors are proper

debtors under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code and proper proponents of the Plan under

section 1121(a) of the Bankruptey Code. Thé Debtors have complied with the applicable

provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including as provided or permitted by orders of the Court.

The Debtors complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy

Rules, and the Solicitation Procedures Order in transmitting the Plan, the Disclosure Statement,

the Ballots and related documents and notices, and in soliciting and tabulating votes on the Plan.

       P.      Plan Proposed In Good Faith (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(3)). The Debtors have

proposed the Plan in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law, thereby satisfying

section 1129(a)(3) ofthe Bankruptcy Code. In determining that the Plan has been proposed in


good faith, the Court has examined the totality of the circumstances surrounding the filing of the

Chapter 11 Cases and the formulation of the Plan. See Bankruptcy Rule 3020(b). The Plan was

proposed with the legitimate and honest purposes of maximizing the recovery to Holders of

Claims and Interests under the circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases.

       Q.      Payments For Services Or Costs And Expenses (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(4}}. Any

payment made or to be made by the Debtors for services or for costs and expenses in connection

with the Chapter 11 Cases, including all administrative expenses and substantial contribution

claims under sections 503 and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code, or in connection with the Plan and

incident to the Chapter 11 Cases, has been approved by, or is subject to the approval of, the

Court as reasonable, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(4) ofthe Bankruptcy Code. Any

amounts allocated by the Debtors for the payment ofsuch services, costs and expenses, or any

recoveries or disgorgements subsequently ordered by the Court on account of payments to

professionals prior to final allowance of such amounts shall constitute assets owned exclusively

by Reorganized Group.

       R.      Directors, Officers, And Insiders (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(5)). The Debtors have

complied with section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code and have disclosed the initial officers

of the Reorganized Debtors. The Debtors have disclosed the manner for selection ofthe initial

board of directors of Reorganized Group. Upon the Effective Date, the new board ofdirectors of

Reorganized Group shall consist of five (5) members, as disclosed in the Plan Supplement and as

may be further disclosed prior to the Effective Date. The existing senior officers of Group shall

initially serve in the same capacities after the Effective Date for Reorganized Group, subject to

the terms of the applicable agreements and the rights of the respective boards of directors. The


appointment of the directors and officers of Reorganized Group is consistent with the interests of

holders of Claims against and Interests in the Debtors and with public policy.

       S.      No Rate Changes (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(6)). Section 1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy

Code is satisfied because the Plan does not provide for any change in rates over which a

governmental regulatory commission has jurisdiction.

       T.      Best Interests Test (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(7)). The Plan satisfies section 1129(a)(7)

of the Bankruptcy Code. The liquidation analysis set forth in Section X.D of the Disclosure

Statement, the DePodesta Declaration and the Lambert Declaration and the evidence proffered or

adduced at the Confirmation Hearing (1) are persuasive, credible and accurate as ofthe dates

such evidence was prepared, presented, or proffered, (2) either have not been controverted by

other persuasive evidence or have not been challenged, (3) are based upon reasonable and sound

assumptions, (4) provide a reasonable estimate of the liquidation values of the Debtors upon

conversion to a case under chapter 7 ofthe Bankruptcy Code, and (5) establish that each holder

of a Claim or Interest in an Impaired Class that has not accepted the Plan will receive or retain

under the Plan, on account of such Claim or Interest, property of a value, as ofthe Effective Date

ofthe Plan, that is not less than the amount that it would receive if the Debtors were liquidated

under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on such date.

       U.      Acceptance By Impaired Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(8)). All Impaired Classes

entitled to vote have voted to accept the Plan. Classes 10(b)A and 10(c)A are deemed to have

rejected the Plan and, accordingly, confirmation of the Plan is sought pursuant to 11 U.S.C.

§1129(b).

       vV.     Treatment Of Administrative Claims, Tax Priority Claims And Non—Tax Priority

Claims (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(9)). The treatment of Administrative Claims and Non—Tax Priority


Claims under the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(9)(A) and (B) of the

Bankruptcy Code, and the treatment of Tax Priority Claims under the Plan satisfies the

requirements of section 1129(a)(9)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code.

       W.      Acceptance By Impaired Class (11 U.S.C. §1129(a)(10)}. Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and

10(a)(A) are each Impaired Classes of Claims or Interests that have voted to accept the Plan and,

to the best of the Debtors‘ knowledge, do not contain "insiders" of any significant magnitude.

Thus, section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code is satisfied.

       X.      Feasibility (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a¥(11}). The Plan satisfies section 1129(a)(11) of

the Bankruptcy Code. The financial projections in Appendix B to the Disclosure Statement, the

DePodesta Declaration, the Lambert Declaration and evidence further proffered or adduced at

the Confirmation Hearing (i) are persuasive and credible, (ii) have not been controverted by

other evidence orsufficiently challenged in any of the objections to the Plan, and (iii) establish

that the Plan is feasible and that confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the

liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of the Debtors or the Reorganized

Debtors.

       Y.      Payment Of Fees (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(12)). The Debtors have paid or, pursuant

to Section 15.4 of the Plan, will pay by the Effective Date fees payable under 28 U.S.C. § 1930,

thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code.

       Z.      Continuation Of Retiree Benefits (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(13)). Section 8.3 of the

Plan provides that on the Effective Date, all employment and severance contracts and policies,

and all compensation and benefit plans, policies, and programs of the Debtors applicable to their

employees, retirees, and non—employee directors will be assumed, and are treated as Executory


Contracts under the Plan, pursuant to the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy

Code thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code.

       AA.     Section 1129(b)/Confirmation Of The Plan Over Nonacceptance Of Impaired

Classes. The Zero Distribution Classes are Impaired Classes of Claims and Interests that are

deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1126(g). Pursuant to section 1129(b)

of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan may be confirmed notwithstanding the fact that not all

Impaired Classes have voted to accept the Plan. All ofthe requirements of section 1129(a) ofthe

Bankruptcy Code other than section 1129(a)(8), with respect to such Classes, have been met.

With respect to the Zero Distribution Classes, no holders of Claims or Interests junior to the

holders of such Classes will receive or retain any property under the Plan on account of such

Claims or Interests, and, as evidenced by the uncontroverted valuations and estimates contained

in the Disclosure Statement and put into evidence at the Confirmation Hearing, no Class of

Claims or Interests senior to any such Class is receiving more than full payment on account of

such Claims or Interests. Accordingly, the Plan is fair and equitable and does not discriminate

unfairly, as required by section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

       BB.     Principal Purpose Of Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1129(d)). The principal purpose of the

Plan is not the avoidance of taxes or the avoidance of the application of section 5 ofthe

Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. § 77e).

       CC.     Modifications To The Plan. The modifications to the Plan described and/or set

forth beginning on Exhibit A hereto constitute non—material or technical changes and/or changes

with respect to particular Claims or Interests by agreement with holders of such Claims or

Interests, and do not materially adversely affect or change the treatment of any Claims or

Interests. Accordingly, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3019, these modifications do not require



                                                 11


additional disclosure under section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code or re—solicitation of votes under

section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, nor do they require that holders of Claims or Interests be

afforded an opportunity to change previously cast acceptances or rejections of the Plan.

       DD.     Good Faith Solicitation (11 U.S.C. § 1125(e)). The Debtors and their agents,

representatives, attorneys, and advisors, and other Persons involved in the solicitation process

have solicited votes on the Plan in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of

the Bankruptcy Code and the Solicitation Procedures Order and are entitled to the protections

afforded by section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and the exculpation provisions set forth in

Section 13.5 of the Plan.

       EE.     The Reorganized Debtors Will Not Be Insolvent Nor Left With Unreasonably

Small Capital. As of the occurrence of the Effective Date and after taking into account the

transactions contemplated by the Plan, on a consolidated basis (1) the fair saleable value of the

property of the Reorganized Debtors will be not less than the amount that will be required to pay

the probable liabilities on the Reorganized Debtors‘ then existing debts as they become absolute

and matured considering all financing alternatives and potential asset sales reasonably available

to the Reorganized Debtors and (2) the Reorganized Debtors‘ capital is not unreasonably small in

relation to their business or any contemplated or undertaken transaction.

       FF.     Executory Contracts. The Debtors have exercised reasonable business judgment

in determining that except for those executory contracts or unexpired leases that (a) have been

rejected by order of this Court or (b) are the subject of a pending motion to reject, the Debtors

will assume all executory contracts and unexpired leases as set forth in Article VIII ofthe Plan.

Each assumption of an executory contract or unexpired lease pursuant to Article VIII of the Plan

shall be legal, valid and binding upon the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors and all nondebtor



                                                 12


parties to such executory contract or unexpired lease, all to the same extent as if such assumption

had been effectuated pursuant to an appropriate authorizing order ofthe Court entered before the

Confirmation Date under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

       GG.     Adequate Assurance and Cure. Section 8.2 ofthe Plan provides procedures that

will provide nondebtor parties to executory contracts and unexpired leases the opportunity to

obtain adequate assurance and Cure with respect to the executory contracts and unexpired leases

to which they are a party. Under the Plan, the parties to each executory contract or unexpired

lease are required to file and serve a Cure Claim so as to be received by the Reorganized Debtors,

as applicable, and their counsel within 45 days after the entry of this Confirmation Order after

which the Reorganized Debtors shall have 45 days to file any objections thereto. Should a party

to an executory contract or unexpired lease not file a proposed Cure Claim by the Cure Claim

Submission Deadline, such party shall forever be barred from asserting against the Debtors or

Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, a Claim that arose under such executory contract or

unexpired lease on or prior to the date ofthis Confirmation Order. If there is a dispute regarding

International, Inc. ("PTII"). PTII is a party to a certain Shareholder Agreement, dated May 21,

2003 (the "Shareholder Agreement"), by and among PTII and other persons or entities ("Other

Persons"), and PTII and the Other Persons own all of the issued and outstanding shares of the

stock of a Canadian holding company ("Holdco"). The Shareholder Agreement includes a



                                                 15


provision that would permit Holdco to exercise a purchase right with respect to PTll‘s shares in

Holdco and a related operating company ("Opco") solely by virtue ofthe filing of these Chapter

11 Cases. The Court finds such clause to be an unenforceable ipso facto clause under sections

365(b)(2) and 541(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.

               ACCORDINGLY, THE COURT HEREBY ORDERS THAT:

               1.      Confirmation. The Plan, which consists of the Plan (and all exhibits and

supplements thereto) and the modifications set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which are hereby

incorporated into and constitute a part of the Plan, is hereby approved and confirmed under

section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. The exhibits to the Plan, the Plan Schedules and each

Plan Supplement (as may be modified pursuant to the terms of the Plan and/or such exhibit, as

applicable) are incorporated by reference into and comprise an integral part of the Plan and this

Confirmation Order.

               2.      Objections. All objections to confirmation ofthe Plan that have not been

withdrawn, waived, settled, or addressed in the Plan and all reservations of rights included

therein are overruled on the merits.

               3.      Provisions Of Plan And Order Nonseverable And Mutually Dependent.

The provisions of the Plan and this Confirmation Order, including the findings of fact and

conclusions of law set forth herein, are nonseverable and mutually dependent. This

Confirmation Order constitutes a judicial determination that each term and provision ofthe Plan,

as it may have been altered, modified or interpreted at the Confirmation Hearing or the

confirmation of the Plan, is valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms.

               4.      Plan Classification Controlling. The classification of Claims and Interests

for purposes of the distributions to be made under the Plan shall be governed solely by the terms



                                                 16


of the Plan. The classifications set forth on the Ballots tendered to or returned by the Debtors‘

creditors and interest holders in connection with voting on the Plan (a) were set forth on the

Ballots solely for purposes of voting to accept or reject the Plan, (b) do not necessarily represent,

and in no event shall be deemed to modify or otherwise affect, the actualclassification of such

Claims or Interests under the Plan for distribution purposes, (c) may not be relied upon by any

creditor or interest holder as representing the actual classification of such Claims or Interests

under the Plan for distributions purposes, and (d) shall not be binding on the Reorganized

Debtors, the Estates, or the Debtors.

                5.      Effects Of Confirmation:; Successors And Assigns. Subject to the

provisions of Sections 13.1 and 13.2 of the Plan, and notwithstanding any otherwise applicable

law, upon the Effective Date, the terms of the Plan (including the Plan Exhibits, Plan

and this Confirmation Order are deemed binding upon (a) the Debtors, (b) the Reorganized

Debtors, (c) all present and former holders of Claims against and Interests in the Debtors,

any Person making an appearance in these Chapter 11 Cases, and (g) each of the foregoing‘s

respective heirs, successors, assigns, trustees, executors, administrators, affiliates, officers,

directors, agents, representatives, attorneys, beneficiaries, or guardians.

                6.      Intercompany Claims And The Equity Interests In Affiliate Debtors. The

Chapter 11 Cases, if any (the "Restructuring Transactions"). As of the Effective Date, the

Reorganized Debtors may operate their business and use, acquire, and dispose of property and

settle and compromise Claims or Interests without supervision of the Bankruptcy Court, free of

any restriction of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules, other than those restrictions

expressly imposed by the Plan or this Confirmation Order.

               8.      Directors and Officers Of Reorganized Debtors. The existing senior

officers of the Debtors shall serve in the same capacities after the Effective Date, subject to the

Notes, Old Common Stock, the indentures, or other instruments or documents evidencing,

creating or governing such indebtedness, equity interests or obligations of a Debtor shall

continue in effect to the extent necessary to allow the Reorganized Debtors to make distributions

pursuant to this Plan and to allow the Indenture Trustees to exercise any lien the Indenture

Trustees may have under any indentures against distributions to holders of the Holding Notes

Claims, the Group Notes Claims or the IHC Second Lien Note Claims. All Old Common Stock

that has been authorized to be issued, but that has not been issued, shall be deemed cancelled and

extinguished without any further action of any party. In accordance with Section 7.6(a) ofthe

Plan, on the Effective Date, the IHC Second Lien Supplemental Indenture and IHC Second Lien

Notes shall be deemed to be modified as set forth in the IHC Second Lien Supplemental

the IHC Second Lien Notes Supplemental Indenture Trustese are authorized to take all necessary

surrender right arising as a result of the filing ofthese Chapter 11 Cases under such Shareholder

issuance of FCC regulatory approval for such transfer of control pursuant to applicable FCC

regulations. The FCC‘s rights and powers to take any action pursuant to its regulatory authority

consummation of the Plan, shall (a) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims against or

Interests in the Debtors or any other Person, (b) prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtors

or any Person in any further proceedings involving the Debtors, (c) constitute an admission of

any sort by the Debtors or any other Person, or (d) be construed as a finding of fact or conclusion

of law with respect thereto. Upon the occurrence ofthe Effective Date with respect to the

Debtors, the Plan shall be deemed substantially consummated as to the Debtors.

               30.     Retention Of Jurisdiction. Pursuant to sections 105(a) and 1142 of the

Committees appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases shall dissolve automatically, whereupon their

members, professionals, and agents shall be released from any further duties and responsibilities

in the Chapter 11 Cases and under the Bankruptcy Code, except with respect to obligations

arising under confidentiality agreements, nondisclosure agreements, and any protective orders

entered during the Chapter 11 Cases, all of which shall remain in full force and effect according

to their terms. The Professionals retained by the Creditors‘ Committee and the members thereof

shall not be entitled to compensation and reimbursement of expenses for services rendered after

the Effective Date, except for services rendered in connection with (i) the implementation of the

transactions contemplated to occur on the Effective Date of the Plan and (ii) applications for

allowance of compensation and reimbursement of expenses pending on the Effective Date or

filed after the Effective Date pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Plan.

               32.     References To Plan Provisions. The failure to include or specifically

reference any particular provision ofthe Plan in this Confirmation Order shall not diminish or

impair the effectiveness of such provision, it being the intent of the Court that the Plan be

confirmed in its entirety. The provisions of the Plan and of this Confirmation Order shall be

construed in a manner consistent with each other so as to effect the purposes of each; provided,

however, that if there is determined to be any inconsistency between any Plan provision and any

provision of this Confirmation Order that cannot be so reconciled, then, solely to the extent of

such inconsistency, the provisions ofthis Confirmation Order shall govern and any such




                                                 30


provision of this Confirmation Order shall be deemed a modification of the Plan and shall

control and take precedence.

                33.     Separate Confirmation Orders. This Confirmation Order is and shall be

deemed a separate Confirmation Order with respect to each of the Debtors in each Debtors‘

separate Chapter 11 Case for all purposes. The Clerk ofthe Court is directed to file and docket

Effective Date in substantially the form of the notice annexed hereto as Exhibit C, which form is

hereby approved (the "Notice of Effective Date"), to be delivered to such parties by first class

mail, postage prepaid; provided, however, that notice need not be given or served under the

Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, or this Confirmation Order to any Person to whom the

Debtors mailed a notice of the Bar Date or Confirmation Hearing, but received such notice

returned marked "undeliverable as addressed," "moved — left no forwarding address,"

"forwarding order expired," or similar reason, unless the Debtors have been informed in writing

by such Person ofthat Person‘s new address. The Reorganized Debtors are authorized to send

the Notice of Effective Date to parties—in—interest, rather than a copy of the entered Confirmation

Order provided that copies of said order are made available to requesting parties at their own

expense. The notice described herein is adequate under the particular circumstances of the

Chapter 11 Cases, and no other or further notice is necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002(1), the Debtors may satisfy the requirements of Bankruptcy

Rule 2002(£)(7), by mailing the Notice of Effective Date as described above and publishing the

Notice of Effective Date in the New York Times (national edition), the_Wall Street Journal
