Subject to the terms of the Plan and the Lock-Up Agreement, and only consistenttherewith, the Debtors reserve the right to alter, amend, update, or modify the Plan Supplementand any of the documents contained therein or related thereto, in accordance with the Plan, on orbefore the Effective Date.I. Modifications to the Plan.10. Pursuant to section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, the modifications to thePlan described or set forth in this Combined Order constitute technical or clarifying changes,changes with respect to particular Claims by agreement with holders of such Claims, ormodifications that do not otherwise materially and adversely affect or change the treatment of anyother Claim or Interest under the Plan. These modifications are consistent with the disclosurespreviously made pursuant to the Disclosure Statement and Solicitation Materials, and notice ofthese modifications was adequate and appropriate under the facts and circumstances of the Chapter11 Cases. In accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3019, these modifications do not require additionaldisclosure under section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code or the resolicitation of votes under section1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, and they do not require that holders of Claims or Interests beafforded an opportunity to change previously cast acceptances or rejections of the Plan.Accordingly, the Plan is properly before this Court and all votes cast with respect to the Plan priorto such modification shall be binding and shall apply with respect to the Plan.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Filieledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 8 9 o of f1 133459J. Objections Overruled.11. Any resolution or disposition of objections to Confirmation explained orotherwise ruled upon by the Court on the record at the Confirmation Hearing is herebyincorporated by reference. All unresolved objections, statements, joinders, informal objections,and reservations of rights are hereby overruled on the merits.K. Burden of Proof.12. The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have met their burden of provingthe elements of sections 1129(a) and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code by a preponderance of theevidence, the applicable evidentiary standard for Confirmation. Further, the Debtors have proventhe elements of sections 1129(a) and 1129(b) by clear and convincing evidence. Each witness whotestified on behalf of the Debtors in connection with the Confirmation Hearing was credible,reliable, and qualified to testify as to the topics addressed in his testimony.L. Compliance with the Requirements of Section 1129 of the BankruptcyCode.13. The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of section 1129 of theBankruptcy Code as follows:a. Section 1129(a)(1) – Compliance of the Plan with Applicable Provisions of theBankruptcy Code.14. The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code,including sections 1122 and 1123, as required by section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.i. Section 1122 and 1123(a)(1) – Proper Classification.15. The classification of Claims and Interests under the Plan is proper under theBankruptcy Code. In accordance with sections 1122(a) and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code,Article III of the Plan provides for the separate classification of Claims and Interests at each Debtorinto Classes, based on differences in the legal nature or priority of such Claims and Interests (otherCaCsaes e2 42-49-09507557 5 D oDcoucmumenetn 2t 9266-32 FFiilleedd iinn TTXXSSBB oonn 1021//3113//2245 PPaaggee 91 0o fo 1f 3143510than Administrative Claims, Professional Fee Claims, and Priority Tax Claims, which areaddressed in Article II of the Plan and Unimpaired, and are not required to be designated asseparate Classes in accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code). Valid business,factual, and legal reasons exist for the separate classification of the various Classes of Claims andInterests created under the Plan, the classifications were not implemented for any improperpurpose, and the creation of such Classes does not unfairly discriminate between or among holdersof Claims or Interests.16. In accordance with section 1122(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, each Class ofClaims or Interests contains only Claims or Interests substantially similar to the other Claims orInterests within that Class. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of sections 1122(a),1122(b), and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Codeii. Section 1123(a)(2) – Specifications of Unimpaired Classes.17. Article III of the Plan specifies that Claims and Interests in the classesdeemed to accept the Plan are Unimpaired under the Plan. Holders of Intercompany Claims andIntercompany Interests are either Unimpaired and conclusively presumed to have accepted thePlan, or are Impaired and deemed to reject (the “Deemed Rejecting Classes”) the Plan, and, ineither event, are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. In addition, Article II of the Planspecifies that Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims are Unimpaired, although the Plandoes not classify these Claims. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section1123(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 101 o of f1 1334511iii. Section 1123(a)(3) – Specification of Treatment of Voting Classes18. Article III.B of the Plan specifies the treatment of each Voting Class underthe Plan – namely, Class 3 and Class 5. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.iv. Section 1123(a)(4) – No Discrimination.19. Article III of the Plan provides the same treatment to each Claim or Interestin any particular Class, as the case may be, unless the holder of a particular Claim or Interest hasagreed to a less favorable treatment with respect to such Claim or Interest. Accordingly, the Plansatisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.v. Section 1123(a)(5) – Adequate Means for Plan Implementation.20. The Plan and the various documents included in the Plan Supplementprovide adequate and proper means for the Plan's execution and implementation, including: (a)the general settlement of Claims and Interests; (b) the restructuring of the Debtors' balance sheetand other financial transactions provided for by the Plan; (c) the consummation of the transactionscontemplated by the Plan, the Lock-Up Agreement, the Restructuring Implementation Deed andthe Agreed Steps Plan and other documents Filed as part of the Plan Supplement; (d) the issuanceof Exchange Notes, the New Money Notes, and the Noteholder Ordinary Shares pursuant to thePlan; (e) the amendment of the Intercreditor Agreement; (f) the amendment of the FacilityAgreement; (g) the amendment of the Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement; (h) theconsummation of the Rights Offering in accordance with the Plan, Rights Offering Documentsand the Lock-Up Agreement; (i) the granting of all Liens and security interests granted orconfirmed (as applicable) pursuant to, or in connection with, the Facility Agreement, the ExchangeNotes Indenture, the New Money Notes Indenture, the amended Intercreditor Agreement and theCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 112 o of f1 1334512Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement pursuant to the New Security Documents (including anyLiens and security interests granted or confirmed (as applicable) on the Reorganized Debtors'assets); (j) the vesting of the assets of the Debtors' Estates in the Reorganized Debtors; (k) theconsummation of the corporate reorganization contemplated by the Plan, the Lock-Up Agreement,the Agreed Steps Plan and the Master Reorganization Agreement (as defined in the RestructuringImplementation Deed); and (l) the execution, delivery, filing, or recording of all contracts,instruments, releases, and other agreements or documents in furtherance of the Plan. Accordingly,the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Codevi. Section 1123(a)(6) – Non-Voting Equity Securities.21. The Company's organizational documents in accordance with the SwedishCompanies Act, Ch. 4, Sec 5 and the Plan prohibit the issuance of non-voting securities as of theEffective Date to the extent required to comply with section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.vii. Section 1123(a)(7) – Directors, Officers, and Trustees.22. The manner of selection of any officer, director, or trustee (or any successorto and such officer, director, or trustee) of the Reorganized Debtors will be determined inaccordance with the existing organizational documents, which is consistent with the interests ofcreditors and equity holders and with public policy. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies therequirements of section 1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.b. Section 1123(b) – Discretionary Contents of the Plan23. The Plan contains various provisions that may be construed as discretionarybut not necessary for Confirmation under the Bankruptcy Code. Any such discretionary provisionCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 123 o of f1 1334513complies with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and is not inconsistent with the applicableprovisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Thus, the Plan satisfies section 1123(b).i. Section 1123(b)(1) – Impairment/Unimpairment of Any Class of Claims orInterests24. Article III of the Plan impairs or leaves unimpaired, as the case may be,each Class of Claims or Interests, as contemplated by section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.ii. Section 1123(b)(2) – Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts andUnexpired Leases25. Article V of the Plan provides for the assumption of the Debtors' ExecutoryContracts and Unexpired Leases as of the Effective Date unless such Executory Contract orUnexpired Lease: (a) is identified on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List;(b) has been previously rejected by a Final Order; (c) is the subject of a motion to reject ExecutoryContracts or Unexpired Leases that is pending on the Confirmation Date; or (4) is subject to amotion to reject an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to which the requestedeffective date of such rejection is after the Effective Date. Thus, the Plan satisfies section1123(b)(2).iii. Compromise and Settlement26. In accordance with section 1123(b)(3)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code andBankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided underthe Plan, the provisions of the Plan constitute a good-faith compromise of all Claims, Interests,and controversies relating to the contractual, legal, and subordination rights that all holders ofClaims or Interests may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or Interest or any distribution tobe made on account of such Allowed Claim or Interest. Such compromise and settlement is theproduct of extensive arm's-length, good faith negotiations that, in addition to the Plan, resulted inCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 134 o of f1 1334514the execution of the Lock-Up Agreement, which represents a fair and reasonable compromise ofall Claims, Interests, and controversies and entry into which represented a sound exercise of theDebtors' business judgment. Such compromise and settlement is fair, equitable, and reasonableand in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates.27. The releases of the Debtors' directors and officers are an integral componentof the settlements and compromises embodied in the Plan. The Debtors' directors and officers: (a)made a substantial and valuable contribution to the Debtors' restructuring, including extensive preandpost-Petition Date negotiations with stakeholder groups, and ensured the uninterruptedoperation of the Debtors' businesses during the Chapter 11 Cases; (b) invested significant timeand effort to make the restructuring a success and maximize the value of the Debtors' businessesin a challenging operating environment; (c) attended and, in certain instances, testified atdepositions and Court hearings; (d) attended and participated in numerous stakeholder meetings,management meetings, and board meetings related to the restructuring; (e) are entitled toindemnification from the Debtors under applicable non-bankruptcy law, organizationaldocuments, and agreements; (f) invested significant time and effort in the preparation of the Lock-Up Agreement, the Plan, Disclosure Statement, all supporting analyses, and the numerous otherpleadings Filed in the Chapter 11 Cases, thereby ensuring the smooth administration of the Chapter11 Cases; and (g) are entitled to all other benefits under any employment contracts existing as ofthe Petition Date. Litigation by the Debtors or other Releasing Parties against the Debtors'directors and officers would be a distraction to the Debtors' business and restructuring and woulddecrease rather than increase the value of the estates. The releases of the Debtors' directors andofficers contained in the Plan have the consent of the Debtors and the Releasing Parties and are inthe best interests of the estates.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 145 o of f1 1334515iv. Debtor Release28. The releases of claims and Causes of Action by the Debtors, ReorganizedDebtors, and their Estates described in Article VIII.C of the Plan in accordance with section1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Debtor Release”) represent a valid exercise of the Debtors'business judgment under Bankruptcy Rule 9019. The Debtors' or the Reorganized Debtors' pursuitof any such claims against the Released Parties is not in the best interests of the Estates' variousconstituencies because the costs involved would outweigh any potential benefit from pursuingsuch claims. The Debtor Release is fair and equitable and complies with the absolute priority rule.29. The Debtor Release is (a) an integral part of the Plan, and a component ofthe comprehensive settlement implemented under the Plan; (b) in exchange for the good andvaluable consideration provided by the Released Parties; (c) a good faith settlement andcompromise of the claims and Causes of Action released by the Debtor Release; (d) materiallybeneficial to, and in the best interests of, the Debtors, their Estates, and their stakeholders, and isimportant to the overall objectives of the Plan to finally resolve certain Claims among or againstcertain parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases; (e) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (f) given andmade after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (g) a bar to any Debtor asserting any claimor Cause of Action released by the Debtor Release against any of the Released Parties. Theprobability of success in litigation with respect to the released claims and Causes of Action, whenweighed against the costs, supports the Debtor Release. With respect to each of these potentialCauses of Action, the parties could assert colorable defenses and the probability of success isuncertain. The Debtors' or the Reorganized Debtors' pursuit of any such claims or Causes ofAction against the Released Parties is not in the best interests of the Estates or the Debtors' variousCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 156 o of f1 1334516constituencies because the costs involved would likely outweigh any potential benefit frompursuing such claims or Causes of Action30. Holders of Claims and Interests entitled to vote have overwhelmingly votedin favor of the Plan, including the Debtor Release. The Plan, including the Debtor Release, wasnegotiated before and after the Petition Date by sophisticated parties represented by able counseland advisors, including the Consenting Creditors. The Debtor Release is therefore the result of ahard fought and arm's-length negotiation process conducted in good faith.31. The Debtor Release appropriately offers protection to parties thatparticipated in the Debtors' restructuring process, including the Consenting Creditors, whoseparticipation in the Chapter 11 Cases is critical to the Debtors' successful emergence frombankruptcy. Specifically, the Released Parties, including the Consenting Creditors, madesignificant concessions and contributions to the Chapter 11 Cases, including, entering into theLock-Up Agreement and related agreements, supporting the Plan and the Chapter 11 Cases, andwaiving or agreeing to impair substantial rights and Claims against the Debtors under the Plan (aspart of the compromises composing the settlement underlying the revised Plan) in order tofacilitate a consensual reorganization and the Debtors' emergence from chapter 11. The DebtorRelease for the Debtors' directors and officers is appropriate because the Debtors' directors andofficers share an identity of interest with the Debtors and, as previously stated, supported and madesubstantial contributions to the success of the Plan, the Chapter 11 Cases, and operation of theDebtors' business during the Chapter 11 Cases, actively participated in meetings, negotiations, andimplementation during the Chapter 11 Cases, and have provided other valuable consideration tothe Debtors to facilitate the Debtors' successful reorganization and continued operation.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 167 o of f1 133451732. The scope of the Debtor Release is appropriately tailored under the factsand circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases. In light of, among other things, the value provided bythe Released Parties to the Debtors' Estates and the critical nature of the Debtor Release to thePlan, the Debtor Release is appropriate.v. Release by Holders of Claims and Interests33. The release by the Releasing Parties (the “Third-Party Release”), set forthin Article VIII.D of the Plan, is an essential provision of the Plan. The Third-Party Release is: (a)consensual as to those Releasing Parties that did not specifically and timely object or properly optout from the Third-Party Release; (b) within the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to28 U.S.C. § 1334; (c) in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by theReleased Parties; (d) a good faith settlement and compromise of the claims and Causes of Actionreleased by the Third-Party Release; (e) materially beneficial to, and in the best interests of, theDebtors, their Estates, and their stakeholders, and is important to the overall objectives of the Planto finally resolve certain Claims among or against certain parties in interest in the Chapter 11Cases; (f) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (g) given and made after due notice and opportunity forhearing; (h) appropriately narrow in scope given that it expressly excludes, among other things,any Cause of Action that is judicially determined by a Final Order to have constituted actual fraud,willful misconduct, or gross negligence; (i) a bar to any of the Releasing Parties asserting anyclaim or Cause of Action released by the Third-Party Release against any of the Released Parties;and (j) consistent with sections 105, 524, 1123, 1129, and 1141 and other applicable provisions ofthe Bankruptcy Code.34. The Third-Party Release is an integral part of the agreement embodied inthe Plan among the relevant parties in interest. Like the Debtor Release, the Third-Party ReleaseCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 178 o of f1 1334518facilitated participation in both the Debtors' Plan and the chapter 11 process generally. The Third-Party Release is instrumental to the Plan and was critical in incentivizing parties to support thePlan and preventing significant and time-consuming litigation regarding the parties' respectiverights and interests. The Third-Party Release was a core negotiation point in connection with thePlan and instrumental in developing the Plan that maximized value for all of the Debtors'stakeholders and kept the Debtors intact as a going concern. As such, the Third-Party Releaseappropriately offers certain protections to parties who constructively participated in the Debtors'restructuring process—including the Consenting Creditors (as set forth above)—by, among otherthings, facilitating the negotiation and consummation of the Plan, supporting the Plan and, in thecase of the Backstop Providers, committing to provide new capital to facilitate the Debtors'emergence from chapter 11. Specifically, the Notes Ad Hoc Group proposed and negotiated thepari passu transaction that is the basis of the restructuring proposed under the Plan and provideda much-needed deleveraging to the Debtors' business while taking a discount on their Claims (inexchange for other consideration).35. Furthermore, the Third-Party Release is consensual as to all parties ininterest, including all Releasing Parties, and such parties in interest were provided notice of thechapter 11 proceedings, the Plan, the deadline to object to confirmation of the Plan, and theCombined Hearing and were properly informed that all holders of Claims against or Interests inthe Debtors that did not file an objection with the Court in the Chapter 11 Cases that included anexpress objection to the inclusion of such holder as a Releasing Party under the provisionscontained in Article VIII of the Plan would be deemed to have expressly, unconditionally,generally, individually, and collectively consented to the release and discharge of all claims andCauses of Action against the Debtors and the Released Parties. Additionally, the release provisionsCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 189 o of f1 1334519of the Plan were conspicuous, emphasized with boldface type in the Plan, the DisclosureStatement, the Ballots, and the applicable notices. Except as set forth in the Plan, all ReleasingParties were properly informed that unless they (a) checked the “opt out” box on the applicableBallot or opt-out form and returned the same in advance of the Voting Deadline, as applicable, or(b) timely Filed an objection to the releases contained in the Plan that was not resolved beforeentry of this Confirmation Order, they would be deemed to have expressly consented to the releaseof all Claims and Causes of Action against the Released Parties.36. The Ballots sent to all holders of Claims and Interests entitled to vote, aswell as the notice of the Combined Hearing sent to all known parties in interest (including thosenot entitled to vote on the Plan), unambiguously provided in bold letters that the Third-PartyRelease was contained in the Plan.37. The scope of the Third-Party Release is appropriately tailored under thefacts and circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases, and parties in interest received due and adequatenotice of the Third-Party Release. Among other things, the Plan provides appropriate and specificdisclosure with respect to the claims and Causes of Action that are subject to the Third-PartyRelease, and no other disclosure is necessary. The Debtors, as evidenced by the VotingDeclaration and Certificate of Publication, including by providing actual notice to all knownparties in interest, including all known holders of Claims against, and Interests in, any Debtor andpublishing notice in international and national publications for the benefit of unknown parties ininterest, provided sufficient notice of the Third-Party Release, and no further or other notice isnecessary. The Third-Party Release is designed to provide finality for the Debtors, theReorganized Debtors and the Released Parties regarding the parties' respective obligations underthe Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, anyparty who timely opted-out of the Third-Party Release is not bound by the Third-PartyRelease.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 290 o of f1 133452038. The Third-Party Release is specific in language, integral to the Plan, andgiven for substantial consideration. The Releasing Parties were given due and adequate notice ofthe Third-Party Release, and thus the Third-Party Release is consensual under controllingprecedent as to those Releasing Parties that did not specifically and timely object. In light of,among other things, the value provided by the Released Parties to the Debtors' Estates and theconsensual and critical nature of the Third-Party Release to the Plan, the Third-Party Release isappropriatevi. Exculpation.39. The exculpation described in Article VIII.E of the Plan (the “Exculpation”)is appropriate under applicable law, including In re Highland Capital Mgmt., L.P., 48 F. 4th 419(5th Cir. 2022), because it was supported by proper evidence, proposed in good faith, wasformulated following extensive good-faith, arm's-length negotiations with key constituents, and isappropriately limited in scope.40. No Entity or Person may commence or continue any action, employ anyprocess, or take any other act to pursue, collect, recover or offset any Claim, Interest, debt,obligation, or Cause of Action relating or reasonably likely to relate to any act or commission inconnection with, relating to, or arising out of a Covered Matter (including one that alleges theactual fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of a Covered Entity), unless expresslyauthorized by the Bankruptcy Court after (1) it determines, after a notice and a hearing, such Claim,Interest, debt, obligation, or Cause of Action is colorable and (2) it specifically authorizes suchEntity or Person to bring such Claim or Cause of Action. The Bankruptcy Court shall have soleand exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether any such Claim, Interest, debt, obligation or Causeof Action is colorable and, only to the extent legally permissible and as provided for in Article XI,CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 2 201 o of f1 1334521shall have jurisdiction to adjudicate such underlying colorable Claim, Interest, debt, obligation, orCause of Action.vii. Injunction.41. The injunction provisions set forth in Article VIII.F of the Plan are essentialto the Plan and are necessary to implement the Plan and to preserve and enforce the discharge,Debtor Release, the Third-Party Release, and the Exculpation provisions in Article VIII of thePlan. The injunction provisions are appropriately tailored to achieve those purposes.viii. Preservation of Claims and Causes of Action.42. Article IV.L of the Plan appropriately provides for the preservation by theDebtors of certain Causes of Action in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.Causes of Action not released by the Debtors or exculpated under the Plan will be retained by theReorganized Debtors as provided by the Plan. The Plan is sufficiently specific with respect to theCauses of Action to be retained by the Debtors, and the Plan and Plan Supplement providemeaningful disclosure with respect to the potential Causes of Action that the Debtors may retain,and all parties in interest received adequate notice with respect to such retained Causes of Action.The provisions regarding Causes of Action in the Plan are appropriate and in the best interests ofthe Debtors, their respective Estates, and holders of Claims or Interests. For the avoidance of anydoubt, Causes of Action released or exculpated under the Plan will not be retained by theReorganized Debtors.c. Section 1123(d) – Cure of Defaults43. Article V.D of the Plan provides for the satisfaction of Cure Claimsassociated with each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed in accordance withsection 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any monetary defaults under each assumed ExecutoryCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 2 212 o of f1 1334522Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the BankruptcyCode, by payment of the default amount in Cash on the Effective Date, subject to the limitationsdescribed in Article V.D of the Plan, or on such other terms as the parties to such ExecutoryContracts or Unexpired Leases may otherwise agree. Any Disputed Cure Amounts will bedetermined in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article V.D of the Plan, and applicablebankruptcy and nonbankruptcy law. As such, the Plan provides that the Debtors will Cure, orprovide adequate assurance that the Debtors will promptly Cure, defaults with respect to assumedExecutory Contracts and Unexpired Leases in accordance with section 365(b)(1) of theBankruptcy Code. Thus, the Plan complies with section 1123(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.d. Section 1129(a)(2) – Compliance of the Debtors and Others with the ApplicableProvisions of the Bankruptcy Code.44. The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have complied with all applicableprovisions of the Bankruptcy Code as required by section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code,including sections 1122, 1123, 1124, 1125, 1126, and 1128, and Bankruptcy Rules 3017, 3018,and 3019.e. Section 1129(a)(3) – Proposal of Plan in Good Faith.45. The Debtors have proposed the Plan in good faith, in accordance with theBankruptcy Code requirements, and not by any means forbidden by law. In determining that thePlan has been proposed in good faith, the Court has examined the totality of the circumstancesfiling of the Chapter 11 Cases, including the formation of Intrum AB of Texas LLC (“IntrumTexas”), the Plan itself, and the process leading to its formulation. The Debtors' good faith isevident from the facts and record of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Disclosure Statement, and the recordof the Combined Hearing and other proceedings held in the Chapter 11 CasesCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 2 223 o of f1 133452346. The Plan (including the Plan Supplement and all other documents necessaryto effectuate the Plan) is the product of good faith, arm's-length negotiations by and among theDebtors, the Debtors' directors and officers and the Debtors' key stakeholders, including theConsenting Creditors and each of their respective professionals. The Plan itself and the processleading to its formulation provide independent evidence of the Debtors' and such other parties'good faith, serve the public interest, and assure fair treatment of holders of Claims or Interests.Consistent with the overriding purpose of chapter 11, the Debtors Filed the Chapter 11 Cases withthe belief that the Debtors were in need of reorganization and the Plan was negotiated and proposedwith the intention of accomplishing a successful reorganization and maximizing stakeholder value,and for no ulterior purpose.

Check it out below: Jay Conner (00:00:00) - My business started to skyrocket, like overnight when I started joining really good mastermind groups, mastermind groups of where I, fellow like minded individuals are in real estate investing and have been doing it a while. I'm not listening to advice from somebody that hasn't even done their first deal yet, right? I'm listening to advice from fellow mastermind members that are doing 50 plus deals a year. Welcome to the how.   Intro (00:00:33) - To Scale Commercial Real Estate show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big.   Sam Wilson (00:00:45) - Jake Connor has been buying and selling houses since 2003, in a town of only 40,000 people, with profits now averaging $78,000 per deal. He has rehabbed over 475 houses and been involved in over $118 million in transactions. Jay, you've been on the show before. It's really great to have you back for round two. Thanks for coming on today, Sam.   Jay Conner (00:01:08) - Thanks so much for having me back. Talking about my favorite subject in topic. And that's private money and private lending, because quite frankly, that in and of itself has had more of an impact on our real estate investing business ever since 2003.   Sam Wilson (00:01:24) - Absolutely. Jay, I asked this question to every guest that comes on the show, and so I have to ask it for the listeners maybe that didn't hear your first episode in 90s or less. Where did you start? Where are you now? How did you get there?   Jay Conner (00:01:40) - So where did I start? I grew up in the housing business with my dad, Wallace Conner, and at one time he was the largest retailer of mobile homes, manufactured housing in the nation. So I grew up, you know, being around a family that was that helps people own a home. So in the early 2000, the consumer financing for that product went away across the nation. And I knew if I ever wanted to, if I ever got out of mobile homes, I wanted to get into single family houses. Now I've done commercial as well. I've done condominium developments and, shopping centers. But my focus has been single family houses. So how did I get to where I am today? Well, I'll tell you.   Jay Conner (00:02:22) - In short, from 2003 to 2009, I relied on institutional money and local banks to fund our real estate deals. And in 2009 January 2009, I had a rude awakening. I was on the phone with my banker, and I learned that my line of credit had been closed with no notice. January of 2009 I'd done a ton of deals with my banker, and of course, during that time, they were not loaning out money to real estate investors anymore. So I knew I had to find a better and quicker way to fund my real estate deals. So right after that, I was introduced to this concept of private money private lending, self-directed IRAs. I'd never heard of any of that stuff. And so in less than 90 days, I raised $2,150,000 in private money and lending from individuals through connections that I have and had. And since that time, I've not missed out on a deal for not having the money.   Sam Wilson (00:03:27) - That is fantastic. It, $2.15 million in less than 90 days. Yes, you had the context or contacts to do that, but what did you have them invest into? I mean, it's one thing to go out and say, hey, I have, you know, this is the thing we're doing, but where did that money get deployed so rapidly.   Jay Conner (00:03:49) - In single family houses? So I had houses under contract to buy and close on before I knew that, you know, that my, my line of credit had been shut down and so but I only needed, $500,000 or so to take those houses down. So the other $1.5 million we started putting to use on other deals that we were negotiating on, you know, over that 90 day period.   Sam Wilson (00:04:20) - Got it. One of the things I think, that you've always stressed to your lenders is they are direct investors. Their name is on the they, you know, not just a promissory note, but they hold the deed of trust or I guess, you know, depending on what state you're in, I'm not sure how North Carolina does it or the mortgage. is that still the case today?   Jay Conner (00:04:38) - That is the case. Everything that we do with single family houses is what we call one offs. So what do we mean by a one off? Well, a one off is that you've got a private lender, which by the way again we're not talking institutional money.   Jay Conner (00:04:51) - These are individuals. These are human beings just like you and me, using their investment capital and or their retirement funds to invest in our deals. And so you have a private lender or maybe a couple of private lenders that are funding a single family house. And as you said, they get the problem. They get the same protection as a bank, right? They get a promissory note, they get the mortgage or the deed of trust here in North Carolina that collateralize that note. So we're not borrowing unsecured funds. They get named as the mortgage on the insurance policy. That's another layer of protection. We name them also as additional insured on the title policy. So we give them the same protection as the bank. So the private lenders are not having any kind of equity position. It's not joint venturing. The private lender acts in the same capacity as the bank. And it is our entity, our company that owns the properties. Right, right.   Sam Wilson (00:05:47) - And that makes perfect sense. And for those of you who are listening to this, go and wait, Sam, why are we talking about private lending on single family homes? On the how to scale commercial real estate podcast? It's because the principles are the same.   Sam Wilson (00:05:59) - Not only do I think the principles are the same in the in the way that you can utilize this strategy in commercial real estate, because I think, as you mentioned, you may have done that with shopping centers and with other things. but it also could give you something else in your tool belt. Another way to think about how to take down a deal, because there's there's not a one size fits all approach to how we finance and take down assets, even on the commercial. And I think even especially on the commercial real estate side, where you get into some very, very creative financial structures. So this, this may be just one more thing in your, in your toolbox that you can go, oh, here's, here's a way I can plug somebody. And I know that has a lot of capital that maybe could help us get this deal done. So very cool. It sounds to me when you mention all of this, like, you have to have a great team behind you that is able to get all these eyes dotted and t's crossed.   Sam Wilson (00:06:52) - Otherwise this becomes an administrative nightmare.   Jay Conner (00:06:55) - Absolutely. The team is so important. So who are the team members? Well, first of all, it's my opinion. You're not really in business as a real estate entrepreneur or investor until you have a relationship with an excellent real estate attorney. As a matter of fact, our real estate attorney is right next door down the sidewalk, about ten feet, so that's pretty convenient. I've been with the I've been using the same firm, the same group of people, ever since 2003 when we started. So we got a long history of relationship to Sarah. So the real estate attorney is important. I am not a realtor. I don't want to be a realtor. I want, but my relationship with my realtors are very, very important. My primary realtor that I've been doing business with, it helps me find deals, pulls all my CMA's. For me. Comparative market analysis gives me opinion on value. his name is Chris. We've been together doing this thing ever since 2004, the second year that I started.   Jay Conner (00:07:55) - And so the realtor relationship is so important. And then, of course, my team members, I've got a full time acquisition list that's been with us for 18 years. But what in the world is an acquisition? Acquisition negotiates the deals, I make the decisions. you know, based on what I want to offer on properties and etc. and then I've got my project manager. So I got a actually, I have two project managers that oversee, the houses that we're doing on rehabs. So they go out and they estimate the repairs and budgets when we're actually rehabbing a house. And, by the way. As a side note, private money is not just for rehab. Business private money is when the seller of any kind of property requires all the cash. Now, of course, we're familiar with all kinds of creative ways to buy houses and commercial properties and etc.. You know, when you're in the commercial space, of course, self storage and all that kind of stuff. Very popular to have seller financing.   Jay Conner (00:08:55) - Take back a note with single family houses. We will, you know, buy houses sometimes, subject to the existing note where the owner agrees to sell us their property and we agree to make the payments on their current mortgage and leave that in place. But at the end of the day, and, Sam, I think you will agree. At the end of the day, particularly in the world of single family houses, most of the time, as in 87% of the time, to be exact, the seller requires all the cash. So having the cash ready to be ready to go is going to allow you to make more offers and not miss out on any more deals. But back to the team. Acquisition is very, very important. And, I have a I have a full time personal assistant that helps, you know, runs my calendar, schedules my appointments and etc. but let me go back to day one. It didn't start out this way. Day one. I mean, Jay Connor was running around with his hair on fire, you know, 60 plus hours a week trying to do everything myself.   Jay Conner (00:10:03) - And I learned a very, very important lesson. You cannot scale. You cannot grow if you try to do all this stuff on your own. So I. I set out on a quest after I'd been in this business for about 3 or 4 years to start automating, delegating everything that I can and to only be involved in the activities in the business that I really enjoy. Right. So today, what do I do? Well, I make decisions. It's my job to make sure the marketing machine was motivated. Several leads are coming into the funnel every day, every week. Because I say if you don't have consistent leads coming in all the time, you're not in business. You got a hobby, right? So I make sure the marketing leads are, turned on. And another important part about communicating with my team is the proprietary software that I use, communicating with the entire team as to where we are with any given deal. That's why with the team in place and our software of communicating with each other, regardless of where that deal is in the pipeline, that's how I'm able to run this business in less than ten hours a week.   Jay Conner (00:11:16) - Right.   Sam Wilson (00:11:17) - And that. Yeah, you you've hit on hit on the, the, the team systems. I mean, that stuff takes time to build. And it goes back to the, Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. I think I'm thinking of, I think. The, the third, what is the third chapter where they talk about, Efficiency is not efficiency, but it's something along those lines where they have the, the, you know, the the matrix where it's urgent, not urgent, important, not important.   Sam Wilson (00:11:47) - Oh, right. Right, right.   Sam Wilson (00:11:48) - You know what I'm talking about. Where it's like most people spend like 80% of their time in the urgent, important category, which is crisis mode.   Jay Conner (00:11:56) - That's right.   Sam Wilson (00:11:57) - Where we need to be spending, you know, the inverse 80% of the time in the not urgent, important category in those.   Jay Conner (00:12:04) - Well, you know, if you're if you're in the if you're in the reactionary mode, right. versus focusing on growing your company and making it better and putting systems in place, then your company's never going to grow.   Jay Conner (00:12:18) - If you're in the reactionary, you know, box.   Sam Wilson (00:12:22) - Does building team and system, does that come naturally for you, or is that something you've honed over time?   Sam Wilson (00:12:30) - I'm sure I honed that over time.   Jay Conner (00:12:33) - I didn't get a college degree on how to build a team and grow system and put systems in place. That'd be a great degree. I tell you, I tell you how all that did come about very early on. And this right here is, is very, very important advice that I would give to any real estate entrepreneur, whether you're brand new or you've been in it for a while. My business started to skyrocket, like overnight when I started joining really good mastermind groups. Mastermind groups of where, fellow like minded individuals are in real estate investing and have been doing it a while. I'm not listening to advice from somebody that hasn't even done their first deal yet, right? I'm listening to advice from fellow mastermind members that are doing 50 plus deals a year, so I can't recommend that strong enough to get involved in a group to where you can really learn from and contribute to your fellow mastermind members.   Sam Wilson (00:13:39) - Right? No, that's really, really powerful. I like that. So we've talked a bit about team. You know, I like the idea. We talked about this a little bit off air. I like the idea of debt. And this is just again, you know, full disclosure here on my own show, which is that I don't love I don't love raising capital. It's not something that comes to me. And I'm like, man, like you said, you know, find team members that love doing this. Not that's not what I love doing. just because of the amount of work that goes along with it. One, you're now married to that investor for 5 to 8 years, potentially answering questions, fielding emails, responding back. I'm not an amazing communicator, Jay. It's not something, again, like, you know, outside of the podcast, it, you know, my wife handles all outbound family communications. Like, I don't know if you want to hear if you want to know something from our family.   Sam Wilson (00:14:31) - I talked to my wife, because I'm just going to do, like. That's where I specialize is doing. And I found that one of the shifts that we've made strategically is that we take on a lot more debt. It's short term debt now, similar to a private lender. And in fact, it is private lending on on a lot of deals where it's debt as opposed to raising equity. And I found that to be really powerful one, because it ticks all the boxes for me personally, where I now no longer am and beholden is too strong of a word, but I'm no longer responsible. I will say to those people that gave me the money, because there's great responsibility when you have equity investors, and as long as I'm making those payments back to those lenders on time, they don't give a rip what I do in my day in and day out. And so it alleviates that communication, you know, kind of kind of hang up that I have. So I don't know, what are your thoughts on that when you when you hear that? I mean, for me, it's it's just a strategy we, we're employing more and more and I'm really enjoying it.   Jay Conner (00:15:26) - Yeah. Well, let me comment on. What's what are the activities that we do to raise private money. So. So I've got two comments or two thoughts. Number one, as far as an activity goes or a way to raise private money as far as having an event, the only events I've done are what I call private land or luncheons or private lender events to where I will invite a group of people, you know, to a luncheon, and I'll teach the private lending program that I've put together that gives our investors high rates of return safely and securely. And so I'll just teach the I'll teach the opportunity. You know, since I started doing this, I've never asked anybody for money. And they say, J how did how do you have, you know, right. At $10 million, now that you've raised a private money without asking anybody for money, it's real simple. I put on this hat that's called my teacher hat. So this is my private money teacher hat. And I just teach people how.   Jay Conner (00:16:35) - So, you see, the traditional way of borrowing money is you go to the bank or the institutional lender, and you get on your hands and knees and you say, please fund my deal, right? It's you're begging, right? And this world, I'm not asking for a mortgage. Excuse me, I'm getting interrupted here on my screen. I'm not asking for a mortgage. I'm offering a mortgage. Right. So. So as far as activities, I mean, I've raised $969,000 at just one private lender luncheon, and I wasn't pitching any deals. There's no there were no deals at at that luncheon. It was the program. So they tell me what they want to do and how much they got to work with. And then I call them up with the good news phone call. Well, what in the world is the good news phone call? Well, Sam, let's say you're one of my private lenders, and you've told me you got $150,000 to invest. And let's say I got a house with an after repair value of 200,000 over in Newport.   Jay Conner (00:17:34) - So I pick up the phone. Believe it or not, we still have handsets here in North Carolina with cords attached to them. But anyway, I pick up the phone and I call up Sam and you and I have a little chit chat. And then here is the script. Here's the script. Let's hear it on the good news phone call. I say, Sam, I got great news. I can now put your money to work. You see. Side note, you've been waiting for the phone call. You've been waiting for me to put your money to work. Because you tell me you've got this. And by the way, Sam, if you had retirement funds and I've introduced you to the company that I recommend where you can move retirement funds tax free, no tax effect over. And then you can loan that money out and earn tax deferred or tax free income. You're really waiting for the phone call because you've moved the money over at my recommendation, and you're not making any money until I put it to work.   Jay Conner (00:18:28) - So back to the script. I call you up. I say, Sam, I got great news. I can now put your money to work. I've got a house in Newport with an after repair value of $200,000. Now, the funding required for this house, this property is $150,000. Closing is going to be next Wednesday, so you'll need to have your funds wired to my real estate attorney's trust account by next Tuesday. And I'm going to have my real estate attorney email you the wiring instructions. That's the end of the conversation. Notice I do not ask Sam, do you want to fund the deal? That's the most stupid question in the world. I get asked Sam. Of course he wants to fund the deal. He's been. He told me he's got $150,000 to put to work. He's waiting for me to put it to work, and I don't have to pitch the deal because I'm not going to bring a deal for Sam to fund. It doesn't fit the criteria of the program that I already taught him as to how it works.   Jay Conner (00:19:25) - For example, part of the program is I'm not going to borrow more than 75%. I'm not going to allow my private lenders to loan me more than 75% of the after repaired value of the property. I didn't say of the purchase price. I said of the after repair value. So did you did you hear those numbers? The after repair value, which I told Sam, was 200,000. The funding requires 150,000. That's 75% of the after repair value. And so. You know, one question. I got on another show yesterday, Sam, was when you're looking for when you're looking. I could what I'm getting ready to say is probably the most important thing I will say on this show. One question I got yesterday was J. When somebody's looking to start raising private money and they've never raised it before, what's the first thing they should do. I said that question is easy. The first thing they should do is get their mindset right. It's hard to own real estate until you own the real estate in between your ears.   Jay Conner (00:20:31) - So what do I mean by that? How do you get your mindset right? It's this whole idea of you're not asking, you're not begging, you're not chasing, you're not selling, you're not persuading, you are educating. Educating. You're an educator, you know, of my 47 private lenders that we've got right now, not one of them had ever heard of private money or private lending until I educated them on what it is. All my private lenders, none of them are sophisticated. They're normal people, just like you and me. By the way, where's a great place to start making your list as two potential private lenders in your world? Retired people? There's a good chance retired people and got retirement funds, and now you can educate them on what self-directed IRAs are. You know, not one of my 47 private lenders had ever heard of what a self-directed IRA is. And so over half of our private lenders are using their retirement funds to invest in our deals and be our private lenders. So that's the first thing.   Jay Conner (00:21:40) - You're an educator, right? You know, sometimes people say, gee, they may not say it directly, but if they've never raised private money, they got a fear of rejection. Here's my question how can you be rejected if you're not asking anybody for anything?   Sam Wilson (00:21:59) - That is. That's a very, very good point. It goes. I mean, the other way to look at that is the the answer is always no. it's no before you ever made the call. So if it doesn't work out afterward, where did where are you? The same place you started? It's like it's.   Jay Conner (00:22:15) - By the way, there's a really good book I recommend, and the title of it is go for no. Have you ever heard of that book saying not.   Sam Wilson (00:22:24) - You haven't heard of go for No, man.   Jay Conner (00:22:26) - I was going to look over there on my shelf and just see if I had it handy. It's a really, really thin book. you can get it on Amazon, but but quick read. But the premise of the book is don't go for yes, go for nothing, go for no.   Jay Conner (00:22:41) - Right. And it's just a whole reframing of how you get a bunch more yeses when you're going for. No, I.   Sam Wilson (00:22:46) - Love it, I love it. J you had one other thing that you wanted to, give away here to our listeners today, which I think will be of value. How do they get that?   Jay Conner (00:22:55) - Absolutely. Yeah. So the first time I was on your show, I gave away my e-book, but now we're taking it to the next level. So here is my recent book, Where to Get the Money Now? And subtitle How and Where to Get Money for Your Real Estate Deals without relying on traditional or hard money lenders. You can't even get this as an e-book to download. I'll actually mail this to you. Priority mail, three day priority mail. I'll autograph it and, just cover shipping. And so here's the URL to get this book shipped out to you right away. W w w dot j Connor j con air.com/book. That's J connor.com/book. I'll rush it right out to you.   Jay Conner (00:23:39) - It walks you through easy read step by step. How to get all the money and funding for your real estate deals you would want. And by the way, as Sam said at the beginning of the show, the principles are the same. Whether you're raising money for commercial or you're raising money for single family.   Sam Wilson (00:23:56) - Thank you, J, for coming on the show today. I certainly appreciate it. It was great to have you back on. And thank you also for that, giveaway there to our listeners. I myself will, end this call and probably send the book to my house because you never know what you're going to learn. So get the book. If you're listening to this show, I'm sure it's packed full of great stuff. And, Jay, thank you again for your time.   Jay Conner (00:24:16) - Thank you Sam. God bless you.   Sam Wilson (00:24:18) - Hey, thanks for listening to the How to Scale Commercial Real Estate podcast.

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) represents a critical area of law that governs commercial transactions in the United States. Its influence extends across various aspects of commerce, particularly in the sale of goods. This module provides an in-depth exploration of the UCC, focusing on its scope, the formation of sales contracts, performance obligations, warranties, and remedies in sales contracts. This knowledge is vital for passing the bar exam and for practical legal application in commercial law. 1. Scope and Applicability of the UCC. Purpose: The UCC aims to harmonize the law of commercial transactions across all states, making commerce more predictable and efficient. Applicability: It primarily applies to transactions in goods, which are movable items at the time of the sale. Services, real estate, and intangible assets like stocks and bonds fall outside its purview. Goods vs. Services: The UCC applies when a transaction predominantly involves the sale of goods. In mixed contracts (goods and services), the UCC applies if the goods aspect is dominant, based on the "predominant factor test." 2. Formation of Sales Contracts under UCC. Flexibility in Formation: The UCC allows for greater flexibility in contract formation than common law. A valid contract can exist even without precisely matching offer and acceptance, and even if some terms are left open. The Battle of the Forms: Under UCC Section 2-207, when businesses exchange standardized forms (offer and acceptance) with differing terms, a contract is still formed. The UCC provides rules for which terms become part of the contract, aiming to respect the parties' intentions while minimizing disputes. 3. Performance Obligations in Sales. Delivery: The seller must make the goods available to the buyer as specified in the contract. If unspecified, delivery is at the seller's place of business. Risk of Loss: Determines who suffers the loss if goods are damaged or destroyed before delivery. The UCC specifies when risk of loss passes from the seller to the buyer, depending on the terms (e.g., FOB shipping point, FOB destination). Title Issues: Title passes when the parties intend it to pass, based on their agreement or, in absence of such, under UCC rules which often tie title passage to the delivery or transfer of possession. 4. Warranties under UCC. Express Warranties: Created by the seller's affirmative statements, descriptions, or samples that the goods will meet certain standards. Implied Warranties: Automatically apply in most sales unless explicitly disclaimed. Warranty of Merchantability: Implies that goods are fit for their ordinary purpose and are of average, fair quality. Warranty of Fitness for a Particular Purpose: Applies when a seller knows the buyer's specific intended use for the goods and the buyer relies on the seller's expertise to select suitable goods. 5. Remedies in Sales Contracts. Buyer's Remedies: Include the right to cover (obtain substitute goods), seek damages for non-delivery, reject non-conforming goods, or demand specific performance in certain cases. Seller's Remedies: Include the right to withhold delivery, stop delivery of goods in transit, resell the goods and recover damages, or cancel the contract. Understanding UCC's Impact. The UCC simplifies commercial transactions and offers a uniform framework that benefits both buyers and sellers by reducing the costs and complexities associated with doing business across state lines. Its provisions on contract formation, performance, and remedies address the unique needs of commercial transactions, differing significantly from common law in several respects. For example, the UCC's approach to the battle of the forms and its rules on warranties and remedies reflect the realities of modern commerce, where transactions often occur rapidly and without the formal exchange of detailed contract terms. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

The podcast is a conversation between Ed and Bryan about using the ACCA Residential Plans Examiner Review Form, an ACCA form you probably never heard of, to demonstrate that proper HVAC system design procedures were followed based on the Manual J, Manual S, and Manual D guidelines. Ed introduces the Residential Plans Examiner Review Form as a one-page document that allows contractors to show they gathered the minimum necessary information to complete a proper HVAC system design. The form doesn't teach how to actually do the design calculations but can help explain the design to others not familiar with it, like code officials asking for documentation. The form is meant as a bridge to facilitate communication between contractors and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs). Ed shares stories of using the form successfully to work with code officials and gain approval. Bryan asks clarifying questions about the intended audience for the form - whether for residential new construction only or also replacement - since it references the duct design Manual D procedures. Ed explains the full manuals would likely only apply to new construction and add-ons, but elements could apply to replacements if load calculations are required locally. The details depend on the specific project and jurisdiction. Topics covered: Purpose and use of ACCA Residential Plans Examiner Review Form Information that the form documents from Manual J, Manual S, and Manual D The form's audience (primarily code officials/AHJs, but it's also helpful for contractors) Applicability for residential new construction, add-ons, and some replacements Stories of working with local code officials using the standard form Where to access online - ACCA website and search by full name   Access the document information and examples online HERE and learn more about ACCA at https://acca.org/home.  Learn more about the 5th Annual HVACR Training Symposium at https://hvacrschool.com/Symposium24.

In the lecture "What is Freestyle," Coach Carl Paoli presents a comprehensive framework that serves as his book's thesis. The lecture offers an in-depth exploration of the philosophy and mechanics of physical movement and fitness, providing a holistic approach to understanding and mastering these disciplines. Coach Paoli begins by defining "freestyle" as an approach to fitness that involves practicing multiple disciplines to develop, distill, and progress them. He emphasizes the role of "position" as the cornerstone for interpreting and understanding movement. Through this lens, he discusses the mechanical similarities and differences between various exercises and explores movement control from both global and local perspectives. Towards the end of the lecture, Coach Paoli elaborates on different techniques as progressions that contribute to skill development. He concludes by asserting that the "freestyle" approach transcends being a mere methodology; it is a lifestyle that can be applied both in sports and everyday life. Introduction Purpose of the Video Answer questions about progression, techniques, and developing techniques. The lecture elaborates on the framework in part 1 of his book. What is Freestyle? Breaking Down the Term "Free" + "Style" "Free" for freedom of movement and "Style" for the individualized approach. Formal Definition An approach to fitness where one practices multiple disciplines to develop one's purpose and progression. The Importance of Position Position Defined Answers to "Where are you?" and "What do you look like?" The Concept of Floating in Space Imagining your body in space to understand position. Framework Elements Position Movement Purpose Relationships between Movements Progressions Identifying Problems Through Position Example: Muscle Up Challenge Doing 100 pull-ups and dips but struggling with the muscle-up. Biomechanics and Technique Movement Patterns Squat and Pistol as examples. Mechanical Similarities Identifying similar movement patterns to develop progressions. Movement Standards What is Movement Standard? A recommendation by an authority. Tailoring movements to individual needs. Understanding Planes and Positions The Midline Four Core Positions Standing, Inverted, Flexion, and Extension Movement as a Code Purpose and Intelligence Movement as a form of developing greater levels of intelligence. Functional Movement Definitions and Misunderstandings Individualized Prescription Strength and Capacity Simple-Complex-Simple Lens Progressing from Basic to Advanced Style as Technique and Progression Styles as Various Techniques Progression through Techniques Conclusion Freestyle as Lifestyle Not just a methodology but a lifestyle. Applicability in Life and Sport This framework aims to capture the key points and structure of Coach Carl Paoli's lecture on "What is Freestyle," offering an organized way to understand his insights into fitness, movement, and lifestyle.

Strategies to create a clean wash/pack environment that guarantees good food hygiene and workflow is the topic of this week's pod, and for the first time ever we have three guests! With three guests and such an important topic, it's no surprise this became the first of a two-part episode, with the second part following next week. In addition to getting produce clean and safe from pathogens, a good packing shed will facilitate workflow that keeps the produce moving and people comfortable. In this episode, we have the privilege of hosting Billy Mitchell, Chris Callahan, and Andrew Chamberlin, who share their expertise and insights on the importance of hygienic design in wash-pack systems. In this episode we discuss: 00:01:00 - Importance of Food Safety,00:05:13 - Ensuring Good Wash/Pack Production Flow00:14:05 - Basics of Food Safety for Growers00:15:10 - Key Points for Food Safety00:15:58 - Simplifying Food Safety00:20:12 - Importance of Cleaning00:24:59 - Water Safety for Washing Produce00:27:31 - The Use of Sanitizers in Wash Water00:30:48 - Hygienic Design Principles00:35:51 - Inspection vs. Audit00:37:43 - Food safety starts in the field00:41:30 - Color Coding for Organization and Cross-Contamination Prevention00:42:05 - Using Shallow Totes and Mini Pallets for Field Efficiency00:43:33 - Mobility Solutions in the Wash Pack Area00:44:45 - In-field Cooling Strategies00:48:25 - Forced Air Cooling for Extended Shelf Life00:55:09 - The Importance of Cooling Methods00:56:26 - Scale and Applicability of Hydrocooling00:57:32 - Low-tech Cooling Techniques00:58:29 - Water Quality Considerations01:00:06 - Conclusion and Resources Chris Callahan is the Extension Associate Professor of Agricultural Engineering at the University of Vermont- he works with food producers, processors, and distributors to improve the efficiency, quality and safety of post-harvest practices and storage processes like water management, environmental control, drying, humidification, and refrigeration systems. Andy Chamberlin is also with the U of VT, farmers with their post-harvest processes to increase efficiencies and profitability while maintaining safe food handling processes. Billy Mitchell is with the Southeast Region of the USDA's Transition to Organic Partnership Program and works with partners across the Southeast and nationally to provide educational opportunities to organic and transitioning to organic producers and the workforce that supports them. In Shop Talk with Neversink Farm, we chat about new tools, old tools, how they can benefit your farm and tips to use them successfully with Conor Crickmore of Neversink Tools, which manufactures tools for farmers. In this episode of Shop Talk with Neversink Farm, we discuss how to use low tunnels in the summer. Though it's common to associate low tunnels with winter production, we talk about the strategies that make low tunnels effective in the hotter part of the season, most notably with shade cloth, which has the advantage that it can be watered through, unlike floating row cover and many of the other commonly used coverings. We also discuss how not using weights to hold down row cover saves time and offers more flexibility than having to move weights every time you need to access the crop. Thanks to our collaborator on this podcast Neversink Farm.

In The Biblical Trinity, Brandon Smith proclaims the Trinity from the Bible. The doctrine arises not from a handful of prooftexts but from the fullness of what the Bible says about God. In this edition of Mere Fi, Alastair and Matt chat with Brandon about what this project means in the broad landscape of contemporary theology. They also take a closer look at how the book of Revelation contributes to a Biblical picture of the Trinity. Full show notes at www.merefidelity.com.

SummaryA new Foreign Relations Law took effect in China on July 1, 2023 that formalizes Chinese Communist Party leadership in all foreign policy matters. It puts China's security and development interests and global rise at the center of its engagement with the world. The new law has been widely interpreted as providing a legal basis for Beijing's struggle against what it says is a strategy of containment by the United States and its allies, and against foreign interference and sanctions, as well as what is calls America's “long-arm jurisdiction.” To discuss the Foreign Relations Law, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Dr. Moritz Rudolf, a Research Scholar in Law and Fellow at Yale Law School's Paul Tsai China Center, where he focuses on the implications of China's rise for the international legal order. Timestamps[01:15] Impetus for the Foreign Relations Law[02:47] Centralized and Unified Leadership of Foreign Relations[04:27] China and Reforming the International Order[09:20] How might China use the foreign relations law?[11:03] Insurance Against International Courts[12:31] Targeting a Domestic Audience[15:10] Expected Policy Changes in China[17:30] Applicability of the Law in Cross-Strait Relations[21:57] Forecasting Chinese Use of Lawfare

I continue my examination of how to apply the Biblical teaching on divorce and remarriage in the 14th episode of the series. I consider the possibility that repentance and/or conversion gives one moral permission to remarry following an unjust divorce and conclude that neither does so. Repentance for an unjust divorce does not give one moral permission to remarry because (1) forgiveness for the divorce does not nullify one's moral obligation to that marriage covenant, (2) forgiveness does not nullify the consequences for the sin of divorce, and (3) the notion that repentance following an unjust divorce gives one moral permission to remarry effectively nullifies Jesus' teaching. Conversion does not change the applicability of Jesus' teaching either. Those who divorced as unbelievers are not free to remarry as believers. Forgiveness of their pre-conversion sins does not nullify their moral obligation to their marriage covenant. Even if they can no longer fulfill that obligation because their ex-spouse has remarried, the consequences for that sin remain: They must remain single. Web: ThinkingtoBelieve.comEmail: ThinkingToBelieve@gmail.comFacebook: facebook.com/thinkingtobelieveTwitter & Gettr: @thinking2believParler & Truth: @ThinkingToBelieve

Brad Schoenfeld is Professor of Exercise Science in the Department of Heath Promotion and Nutrition Sciences at Lehman College in the Bronx, New York, where he serves as the graduate director the Human Performance and Fitness Program. Brad is one of the foremost—if not the foremost—authorities on human muscular development, and author of the textbook Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy. In this episode, Robinson and Brad talk first about the foundations of hypertrophy on a theoretical level (what makes muscles grow) before moving on to some applications of these principles in the gym.

In this episode, we discuss two topics, when and how to address fringe topics in the fitness space and the growing data in support of long muscle length partials for hypertrophy. In the former discussion, we discuss how science communicators are often in a difficult position when addressing such fringe ideas. When these beliefs are believed by small segments of the population - especially if they are potentially harmful - simply addressing them can potentially give them more legitimacy if not done right. Then we dive into “lengthened partials”, which only a couple of years ago would have been lumped in with the more common short muscle length partials you roll your eyes at in the gym all the time (think half squats). While formerly a fringe idea, the data continues to elucidate that this approach may have merit for hypertrophy. 00:00 Reviewing reviews: addressing the carnivore diet.

Theology on Tap's live event in April looked at the Law of God. Does it still apply to Christians? Or are they "so" free in Christ that it no longer applies at all? What aspects of the Law continue into the New Covenant and which are done away with? Three pastors will offer three perspectives followed by a panel discussion.

Dr. James Franklin disagrees with much of the Reasonable Faith animated video on the Applicability of Math as an argument for God. Dr. Craig responds.

The Women's Health Protection Act is a bill written by Democrats that would guarantee access to abortion services in the United States. While this bill is unlikely to become law, learning what exactly the Democrats are proposing is instructive, as many of us will be voting with abortion in mind later this year. Now that the Supreme Court is poised to overturn previous decisions that guaranteed access to abortion services for the past 50 years, what do Democrats hope to do in response?

Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) Text of Senate Bill Senate Cloture Vote Breakdown Bill Outline Section 3: Permitted Services Gives health care providers the right to provide abortion services and gives patients the right to receive abortion services "without any of the following limitations or requirements": Requirements to perform specific tests or medical procedures prior to an abortion Requirements that direct health providers to provide medically inaccurate information before or during abortion services Limitations on the health care provider's ability to provide drugs to the patient Limitations preventing the health care provider from performing abortion services via telemedicine Limitations placed on abortion providing facilities that are not placed on hospitals and other facilities where similar procedures are performed Requirements that the patient attend medically unnecessary pre-abortion in-person office visits Limitations on abortions "at any point or points in time prior to fetal viability" Limitations on abortions "after fetal viability when, in the good-faith medical judgement of the treating health care provider, continuation of the pregnancy would pose a risk to the pregnant patient's life or health." Requirements that patients disclose the reason they want an abortion prior to fetal viability. Allows the courts to consider the following in determining if a requirement illegally impedes access to abortion services: If the requirement interferes with a health care providers ability to provide care and services or poses a risk to the patient's health or safety If the requirement would likely delay or deter some patients from accessing abortion services If the requirement is likely to increase the financial costs of providing or obtaining abortion services If the requirement would likely limit the availability of abortion services in a State or geographic region If the requirement imposes penalties on health care providers that are not imposed on or are more severe than penalties imposed on other health care providers for comparable conduct or failures to act Section 4: Applicability and Preemption This law would apply to the Federal Government and "each State government" and no State government can implement and enforce any law or regulation that conflicts with this law. The law would not govern physical access to clinic entrances, insurance coverage for abortions, contracts, or bans on partial birth abortions. Section 5: Effective Date Immediately upon enactment. Section 7: Enforcement Allows the Attorney General to sue any State or government official who implements or enforcement limitations or requirements that would be prohibited by this law. Allows individuals, "entities", and health care providers adversely affected by violations of the law to also sue the State that violates the law with illegal limitations and requirements The costs of the trial and attorney's fees would be paid by the State if the State loses the case. The person suing could not be forced to pay for attorney's fees if the claim was judged to be "non-frivolous" even if they lose.
