Part 1:	Notices

To Debtors: This form sets out options that may be appropriate in some cases, but the presence of an option on the form does not indicate that the option is appropriate in your circumstances or that it is permissible in your judicial district. Plans that do not comply with local rules and judicial rulings may not be confirmable.

In the following notice to creditors, you must check each box that applies.

To Creditors: Your rights may be affected by this plan. Your claim may be reduced, modified, or eliminated.

You should read this plan carefully and discuss it with your attorney if you have one in this bankruptcy case. If you do not have an attorney, you may wish to consult one.

If you oppose the plan’s treatment of your claim or any provision of this plan, you or your attorney must file an objection to confirmation at least 7 days before the date set for the hearing on confirmation, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. The Bankruptcy Court may confirm this plan without further notice if no objection to confirmation is filed. See Bankruptcy Rule 3015. In addition, you may need to file a timely proof of claim in order to be paid under any plan.

The following matters may be of particular importance. Debtors must check one box on each line to state whether or not the plan includes each of the following items. If an item is checked as “Not Included” or if both boxes are checked, the provision will be ineffective if set out later in the plan.

Debtor(s) shall pay non-exempt funds to the Trustee within seven (7) days after they receive any funds in excess of the amount of their exemption.

The Trustee shall disburse non-exempt proceeds as follows:

First, to administrative claimants and costs whose efforts and actions resulted in the proceeds benefiting the bankruptcy estate, including but not limited to the Trustee’s statutory percentage fee;

Second, to creditors holding allowed claims entitled to priority under 11 U.S.C. § 507, pro rata pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1322(a)(2), but excluding compensation to counsel for the Debtor(s);

Third, to creditors holding allowed general unsecured claims, pro-rata;
