BASIS OF THE PLAN
2. Background and Concept: The Debtor has proposed this Plan which is
premised upon the sale of the Debtor's Assets and the assumption of
liabilities by AWSI, in exchange for common stock and warrants to purchase
common stock of AWSI.
2.1 Benefit: The Plan is proposed in the belief that more will thereby
be realized by Creditors and other parties in interest than would be the case
if the assets of the Debtor were liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Code.
2.2 Parties Bound: Upon Confirmation of the Plan, the Debtor, all
Creditors, AWSI and other parties in interest shall be bound by the provisions
of the Plan; all Property of the Debtor shall be vested in the Debtor for the
sole purpose of effecting the sale of its assets to AWSI; and all Property of
the Debtor (excluding the cash sums to be paid under this Plan) shall
thereafter be free and clear of all Claims of Creditors and other parties in
interest pursuant to Section 1141 of the Code, unless otherwise provided
herein.
2.3 Liquidation: The Plan provides for the liquidation of the Property
of the Debtor, but, instead, provides for the payment of an amount greater
than the liquidation value of such Property through the distribution of such
value, in cash and securities, to all Creditors, Equity Security Holders and
Other Parties In Interest.
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
3. General Terms and Conditions: The following general terms and conditions
apply to the Plan:

Plan. Included, without limitation, are actions for the avoidance and
recovery, pursuant to Section 550 of the Code, of transfers avoidable by
reason of Sections 544, 545, 547, 549 or 553(b) of the Code. The Debtor may
commence or continue in any appropriate court or tribunal any suit or other
proceeding for the enforcement of the same. Any and all Claims which the
Debtor or the Estate of the Debtor may have or which may arise under any of
the provisions of the Code or which may be enforceable under any of the
provisions of the Code or any other law or statute, including Claims of the
Estate, shall be preserved and the Court shall retain jurisdiction to dispose
of such causes of action, including common or statutory law causes of action
unrelated to bankruptcy, pursuant to Section 1123(b)(3)(B) of the Code. All
such causes of action shall belong to the Debtor as part of the Property of
such Debtor. To the extent any cause of action shall be non-transferable to
the Debtor, the Debtor shall prosecute such causes of action for the benefit
of the Estate of the Debtor. Any recovery of such non-transferable causes of
action shall be distributed as the Court finds is fair and equitable.

done, pursuant to Section 350 of the Code, and the Plan has been Substantially
Consummated, pursuant to Section 1101(2) of the Code, this Case shall be

relinquished and released any and all of their rights, Claims (other than as

specifically reserves the right, on behalf of the Debtor, for a period of one
hundred twenty (120) days following Confirmation of the Plan, to assume any
such rejected executory contract or unexpired lease, in which event the
rejection shall be deemed null and void and the Debtor and the other
contracting party shall be deemed bound by the terms and provisions of the
contract involved. Any damages arising from the rejection of an executory
contract or unexpired lease shall be treated as a Class 4 Claim.
13.2 Cure of Defaults: Upon Confirmation, the Court shall provide that
any contract herein assumed or previously assumed pursuant to Section 365 of
the Code will be in force upon cure of any defaults requiring cure pursuant to

Debtor or corrected prior to Confirmation, without notice or hearing, and

Code, provided that the Court finds that such modification does not materially
or adversely affect any Creditor, or class of Creditors, any Interest or Class
of Interest, or other parties in interest.
14.2 Modification of Plan After Confirmation: The Debtor may modify the
Plan at any time after Confirmation but before its Substantial Consummation,
provided that such Plan as modified meets the requirements of Sections 1122

Plan, as modified, under Section 1129 of the Code, and the circumstances
warrant such modification.

has accepted the Plan shall be deemed to have accepted or rejected, as the
case may be, the Plan as modified, unless, within the time fixed by the Court,

where recovery of attorneys' fees is sought, provides an itemized fee
statement sufficient in detail to comply with the requirements of the Code and
Rules (including Local Bankruptcy Rules Of Procedure for the Middle District
of New Tennessee. FAILURE OF ANY CREDITOR TO TIMELY AND PROPERLY FILE SUCH
PROOF OF CLAIM SHALL BE DEEMED A WAIVER OF ITS CLAIM FOR ADDITIONAL CHARGES
AND SUCH CLAIM SHALL BE DISCHARGED. Upon the filing of such Claim, the Debtor
shall have thirty (30) days in which to object to the allowance of such Claim.

Section 544, 545, 547, 549 or 553(b) of the Code, and may commence or continue

or which may be enforceable under any of the provisions of the Code or any
other law or statute, including Claims of the Estate, shall be preserved and
the Court shall retain jurisdiction to dispose of such causes of action,
including common or statutory law causes of action unrelated to bankruptcy,
pursuant to Section 1123(b)(3)(B) of the Code. All such causes of action
shall belong to the Debtor as a part of the Properties of such Debtor. To the
extent any cause of action shall be non-transferable to the Debtor, the Debtor
shall prosecute such causes of action for the benefit of the estate. Any
recovery of such non-transferable causes of action shall be distributed as the
Court finds is fair and equitable.

17. Reservation of Rights: The filing of this Plan, nor any statement or
provision contained in this Plan, nor the taking by a Creditor or other party
in interest of any action with respect to this Plan shall (a) be or be deemed
to be an admission against interest, or (b) until the Effective Date, be or be
deemed to be a waiver of any rights that any Creditor or other party in
interest might have against the Debtor or any Property of the Estate, as that
term is defined in Section 541 of the Code, or any other Creditor or other
party in interest of the Debtor, and until the Effective Date all such rights

(180) day period, if cause is shown, the Court may extend such period for a
time reasonable under the circumstances. If no objection is filed within the
time so limited to the allowance of any Claim, such Claim shall become an
Allowed Claim. See "Section 19 - Retention of Jurisdiction by the Court,"
page 34.
18.2 No Distribution Until Objection Resolved: If the Debtor, or another
party in interest, files an objection to a Claim, no payment shall be made on

Order. If any Claim, or a portion thereof, is challenged by objection, the
Debtor or the Disbursing Agent shall segregate and set aside funds consistent
with this Plan Of Reorganization, sufficient to satisfy the Claim as filed, or
as scheduled by the Debtor as set forth in the preceding Section 18.1 -
Objections To Claims. When an objection to a Claim has been resolved,
distribution shall be made accordingly. If the Court determines that the
Debtor is obligated on any such Claim, such Claim shall be paid in accordance
with the terms herein as allowed by the Court. Such Creditor shall then be
paid pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 12 - Treatment and
Distributions to Creditors Under the Plan, page 9 of this Plan. Such payment
Page 31
<PAGE>
or payments shall constitute full satisfaction and discharge of each of such
Claims.

deficiency resulting from the abandonment of collateral to a previously
Secured Creditor, or resulting from Orders granting relief from the provisions
of Section 362 of the Code, must file their Claims within thirty (30) days
after Confirmation of this Plan Of Reorganization. Unsecured Creditors whose
Claims arise out of an Order issued pursuant to Section 506(a) or 1111(b) of
the Code must file their Claims by the later of the Bar Date or thirty (30)
days after the entry of the Section 506(a) or Section 1111(b) of the Code
Final Order to be included in Class 3.
18.4 Other Claims, Including Amendment to Claims: All Claims not allowed
or filed prior to Confirmation, including post-petition Claims, and not
previously barred by prior Order and not covered by the preceding two (2)
Sections, shall be barred if not filed on or before thirty (30) days after
Confirmation, including Claims, or amendments to Claims and/or applications
for compensation arising under Sections 330, 503 or 506 of the Code, unless
the Bar Date shall not have expired in which event the later of the two (2)
dates shall apply.
18.5 Performance of Obligations: Any entity, including a Creditor, which
has not, within the time provided in this Plan or any Final Order of the
Court, performed any material act required in this Plan or any Final Order of
the Court, shall not be entitled to participate in any distribution under this
Plan.
18.6 Surrender and Cancellation of Debt Instruments: No holder of a
promissory note, bond, payment guaranty or security agreement (collectively
referred to as "instruments") shall receive any distribution under this Plan
Of Reorganization until such instrument has been surrendered to, or
satisfactory evidence of loss has been provided to, the Debtor and the holder
has filed a UCC-2 with the Secretary of State of the appropriate state were
the security interest is filed. No holder of a judgment lien or notice of lis
pendens shall receive any distributions under the Plan until such Lien or
notice of lis pendens has been released or removed. Any holder of an
instrument that fails to surrender such instrument or provide satisfactory
evidence of loss thereof within twelve (12) months after the Effective Date
shall be deemed to have no further Claim against or in the Debtor, and shall
receive no distribution under this Plan. Any such distribution which
otherwise would have been made to such holder will thereafter become the
unencumbered property of the Debtor. Other than the Liens for Secured
Creditors specifically set forth in this Plan Of Reorganization, all
mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, judgment liens, notices of lis
pendens and other Liens securing any Claim shall be deemed to have been
relinquished and reconveyed to the Debtor as of the Effective Date.
