Provisions for Declaring Plan Operative.

The reorganization managers in their absolute discretion may determine whether and when a sufficient amount of the securities of the various classes shall have been deposited hereunder to render it advisable to declare the plan operative. They may declare the plan operative as to all classes of securities for which provision is made in the plan or only as to certain classes of such securities and, if they declare the plan operative as to specified classes of securities only, they may in their unrestricted discretion thereafter from time to time declare the plan operative as to any other class or classes of securities. If in their discretion the reorganization managers deem it expedient to do so, they may make adjustment of any liability or indebtedness of the railway company or of any subsidiary, controlled, or affiliated company in respect of securities as to which the plan shall not have been declared operative and for that purpose may use securities of any class issuable in the reorganization or procure the issue of additional amounts of securities of any class or character under the plan.

that class, and shall constitute a release and discharge of the reorganization managers, the committee or other representative issuing certificates of deposit in respect of the securities of such class and the depositaries, on the part of all the holders of all outstanding certificates of deposit of such class or of all outstanding participation warrants from all liability and accountability of any kind, character and description whatsoever, save the obligation to make delivery of a like pro rata amount of cash, securities, or other property or certificates of beneficial interest therein upon the surrender of outstanding certificates of deposit or as the case may be, outstanding participation warrants.
