    reasonable investor to make an informed judgment about the Plan. In the event of inconsistencies

    between the Plan and the Disclosure Statement, however, the terms of the Plan shall control. The

    Courts approval of this Disclosure Statement does not constitute an endorsement of the Plan by the Court.

    The Debtor urges you to accept the proposed Plan and to promptly return your completed

    ballot to enable your vote to be counted.

    I. SUMMARY OF PLAN

    Pursuant to the Plan, Aspider Solutions, Inc. (Aspider) will form a new entity (Newco) to acquire substantially all of the assets of the Debtor. Newco plans to continue the Debtors operations, uninterrupted, post-confirmation. In exchange for the Debtors assets, Newco will pay or transfer the following value to the Debtor for distribution to its creditors, and/or assume and pay the following

    liabilities:

    1. Newco will provide the Debtor cash at Closing (the Purchase Price Cash), which will fund the proposed cash distributions to creditors proposed in the Plan;

    2. Newco will execute a combined $4.75 million in promissory notes in favor of Opus Bank

    ($750,000 note) and T-Mobile USA, Inc. (T-Mobile) ($4,000,000 note);

    3. Newco will make available 40% of the ownership interests in Newco, with estimated value

    of $1,771,136;

    4. Newco will assume and pay the Debtors post-petition Ordinary Course Administrative Expense Claims (excluding the post-petition claim of T-Mobile discussed in the next

    paragraph) which are comprised primarily of trade credit extended to the Debtor post-petition

    by its trade creditors and vendors, as well as personnel expenses, taxes, and other similar

    expenses, all in an amount estimated to be $1,000,000 - $1,400,000, depending on the actual

    closing date; and

    5. Newco will also assume and pay T-Mobiles Administrative Expense Claim accruing from January 1, 2015 through the Effective Date of the Plan, estimated to be $1,500,000 or more. T-

    Mobile has agreed to waive its estimated $1,400,000 unpaid Administrative Expense Claim

    that accrued prior to December 31, 2014.

    The above-described transaction (the Aspider Transaction) is the product of significant efforts by the Debtor to locate a potential party interested in acquiring its going concern business and

    continuing operations and represents the outcome that provides the greatest value to the Debtors creditors, including pre-petition and post-petition obligations. The Debtor had discussions with over

    21 interested parties and provided meaningful due diligence information to 9 of those parties.

    Ultimately, Aspider emerged as the most strategic party and the one willing to provide by far the

    highest and best value to the estate.

    T-Mobile provides the backbone that allows the Debtor to provide cellular and data services to

    its customers. T-Mobile has consented to accept a significant discount of its prepetition secured

    claims and post-petition administrative claims in order to support the Aspider Transaction. Without

    T-Mobiles consent and cooperation, it would be impossible for the Debtor to continue its operations and no creditors, with the possible exception of very nominal value to Opus Bank, will receive any

    value.

    Likewise, Opus Bank, the Debtors senior secured lender has also agreed to accept a significant discount of its secured claim in order to support the Plan and the Aspider Transaction.

    Under the Plan and assuming closing of the Aspider Transaction, distributions to Holders of

    prepetition Allowed Claims will be made in the following manner:

    Opus Bank Secured Claim $1,750,000 cash, plus a $750,000

    unsecured note from Newco

    T-Mobile Secured Claim $1,000,000 cash, plus a $4,000,000

    note from Newco, secured by a

    security interest in Newcos assets

    Noteholder Claims 40% of the ownership interests in

    Newco plus 20% of any Trade

    Secret Lawsuit Proceeds, plus a

    possible Cost Reimbursement

    Benefit if Noteholders reimburse

    Contingent Fee Counsels expenses

    Priority Wage and Tax Claims Paid in full at Closing (Estimated to

    be $331,767)

    General Unsecured Claims $1,000,000 cash to be paid Pro Rata

    to Allowed Holders of Class 6

    Claims (the Class 6 Cash); plus 80% of any Trade Secret Claims

    Proceeds (without any sharing in

    any Cost Reimbursement Benefit

    resulting from Noteholders

    reimbursement of Contingent Fee

    Counsels expenses); plus a note from Newco in the principal

    amount of the lesser of (a) 5% of

    the Rejected Contract Claims or (b)

    $250,000 (the Class 6 Note).

    Finally, the remaining cash paid to the estate as part of the Aspider Transaction will be used

    1) to pay negotiated amounts to Cure Claims with respect to those of the Debtors executory contracts to be assumed and assigned to Newco at Closing, 2) to pay allowed Administrative Expense Claims

    (excluding the T-Mobile Administrative Expense Claims, the treatment of which is described above)

    Committee, and 3) to create the Post-Confirmation Administrative Fund.

    Absent the Aspider Transaction, the Debtor would be required to immediately cease

    DEFINITIONS

    Terms used in this Disclosure Statement not specifically defined herein or in the Bankruptcy

    Code shall be defined as set forth in the Plan that accompanies this Disclosure Statement. In

    particular, capitalized terms shall have the meanings prescribed for such terms in Section II of the

    Plan.

    ARTICLE III.

    BACKGROUND INFORMATION

    A. Historical Background and Events Leading to Bankruptcy

    Founded in late 2011, the Debtor sells mobile phone service to consumers using an innovative

    online, mobile and social model the company refers to as Social Commerce. As of the Petition Date, the Debtors equity was held by the individuals and entities set forth in Exhibit A hereto, in the amounts set forth therein. Instead of using traditional advertising and a traditional sales force, the

    Debtor relies on individual consumers, communicating with each other and other potential customers

    using social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, to sell its products online. The Debtors approach allows consumers to receive goods and services they use every day at a discounted price,

    and also rewards consumers with the opportunity to earn income by referring the Debtors products to others.

    The Debtor launched its first product, nationwide mobile phone service, approximately 30

    months ago, in September 2012. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor has signed up over 250,000

    total members and operated at a current annual revenue rate of approximately $65 million. The

    Debtor buys its mobile phone service on a wholesale basis from T-Mobile USA, Inc. and then sells it

    to its customers starting at $29 per month for unlimited 4G LTE voice, text, and data service.

    As of the Petition Date, the Debtor was headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, had 51

    employees and contracted for an additional 160 dedicated call center representatives and offshore

    development resources that provide member support and technology services respectively.

    Because of its Social Commerce model and innovative technology, the Debtor was named a

    winner of the 2014 Red Herring Top 100 Award, a prestigious award honoring the year's most

    promising and innovative private technology companies. See

    The Debtor created a technology platform to facilitate its Social Commerce model. All of the

    Debtors customers, referred to by the company as members, have access to this technology platform, which includes proprietary tools allowing members to communicate with each other,

    purchase and sell the Debtors products, keep track of potential referral prospects, and manage their referral commissions.

    The Debtor also rewards its members by paying them each month for every mobile subscriber

    they personally refer to the Debtor and for building significant networks of mobile subscribers. As of

    the Petition Date, the Debtor paid a $5 referral commission each month for every subscriber a member

    personally referred to the Debtor and this monthly commission continues for as long as the referred

    subscriber remains a customer. Members that have built large networks of customers can receive

    significant monthly commission payments ranging from $100 and more based on the size of their

    network. Network size is based on the number of active mobile subscribers that is directly related to

    the growth from those that they had referred to the Debtor. Members receive their commissions as a

    discount to their mobile service bill, and earnings beyond the cost of their monthly bill are deposited

    onto a Solavei branded Visa debit card or transmitted directly to their checking account. Referral fees

    that do not take the form of billing discounts are paid to members monthly.

    As of the Petition Date, approximately 35,000 of the Debtors members had built networks qualifying for commissions. Many members are families with less than $45,000 in annual income,

    meaning that the cost of essential cell/data service and the ability to receive income through the

    Debtors referral system are meaningful issues for these customer/members.

    In spite of its rapid growth and ability to generate substantial revenues, the Debtor encountered

    financial challenges. The Debtor initially scaled its business infrastructure to support a larger network

    of members than was actually needed. In addition, vendor costs, in particular the cost of wholesale

    mobile services purchased from T-Mobile, exceeded expectations due to higher than anticipated

    customer usage. Over time, the company was able to restructure many costs and vendor obligations,

    and in the summer of 2013, it reached agreement with its major service providers, including T-Mobile,

    on cost revisions that were better aligned with projected revenues.

    Due to the unique and innovative social referral distribution model, the Debtor struggled with

    structuring the appropriate member commission model. The amount of commission payments owed

    to members for referrals and network building activities exceeded initial expectations. The Debtor

    had initially targeted and agreed to pay 50 percent of its gross profit to members in the form of

    commissions. However, as members found ways to maximize their commissions in ways not

    anticipated under the commission plan, the company was actually paying some 83 percent or more of

    its gross profits to members. The Debtor substantially revised the commission plan in March 2013

    and again in January 2014, to bring its overall payout closer to the sustainable 50 percent level.

    The combination of these issues stressed the companys working capital and liquidity as it worked to recover from initial vendor costs and member commission structures that proved

    unsustainably high. As a result of this stress on working capital and liquidity, the company found it

    necessary to file its Chapter 11 bankruptcy with the intention of restructuring its existing liabilities

    and growing its business.

    B. Events Since Bankruptcy

    2043 20131 {c13ef06ed

    f. Rejection of Office Lease. By order entered September 26, 2014, the Court

    authorized the Debtor to reject its office lease as of July 31, 2014. Post-rejection, the Debtor has been

    leasing office space on a month-to-month basis from Regus Management Group, LLC for

    approximately $30,000 per month.

    2. Events Leading to the Sale Transaction

    Post-filing, the Debtor worked diligently to operationally restructure its business. The

    operational restructure has included substantial expense reductions of approximately $380,000 per

    month, achieved through modifications of various relationships with vendors, reduction in personnel

    (from approximately 100 personnel on site to 36) and reduced lease costs (from approximate $71,000

    per month to $30,000 per month), among others.

    The Debtor also meaningfully revised its compensation plan for member/customers in order to

    drive expansion of its customer base. The new compensation plan began October 1, 2014.

    Unfortunately, serious technology issues outside of the Debtors control were encountered in implementing the new compensation plan, in large part due to an unprecedented total outage suffered

    by the Debtors billing partner, which occurred on the day before the Debtors main promotional event in October. Customer retention and additions have finally stabilized.

    Notwithstanding the new compensation plan and the reduction in costs achieved by the

    Debtor, the Debtors cash flow has been insufficient to fund its budgeted post-petition obligations. Without the ability to fund its ongoing expenses, the Debtor would have been required to immediately

    cease operations. Fortunately, T-Mobile, the Debtors largest vendor and supplier, has been willing to allow the Debtor to pay less than the full amount of its invoices, which has allowed the Debtor to

    continue operations and remain current with all of its other post-petition obligations to its other

    vendors, suppliers, taxing authorities, customer/members, and employees. Had it been necessary to

    cease operations, because the Debtors assets consist primarily of its subscriber-members, who would have needed to immediately migrate to other networks to obtain cellular service, and of the technology

    developed to enable social commerce distribution, there would have been virtually no value remaining

    in the Debtors assets for the first-position lien holder, Opus Bank, or any other creditors.

    3. The Benefits of the Proposed Aspider Transaction.

    The Debtor offers mobile service to its members as a mobile virtual network operator

    (MVNO), a service provider that does not own the mobile network infrastructure. The Debtor has developed its industry leading Social Commerce platform that leverages the power of social media to

    facilitate the buying and selling of mobile service and directly rewards participating consumers.

    Aspider is a leading global mobile virtual network enabler (MVNE) that provides the necessary mobile network infrastructure to MVNOs. Aspider currently serves as MVNE to over 70 MNO

    (Mobile Network Operator)/MVNO customers and provides service to millions of subscribers. As a

    full service organization with hundreds of employees and a solid 12-year track record of providing

    comprehensive mobile enablement, Aspider is integrated with some of the largest mobile operators in

    the world such as Vodafone, Orange, and Deutsche Telecom across Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin

    America.

    The Aspider Transaction will combine the strength of the Debtors Social Commerce platform with Aspiders mobile service enabling platform, resulting in significant benefit to Solaveis members. Solavei will be able to deliver enhanced mobile service to a far broader global member

    base. Solavei will have the advantage of Aspiders significantly greater network utilization in terms of negotiating carrier pricing which will, in turn, allow Solavei to deliver more competitive offerings

    and enhanced services for its members. Through the Aspider Transaction, Solavei will be able to

    offer in-network pricing and capabilities to a global member base on country-to-country calling, which will be groundbreaking for Solavei and a competitive advantage against other MVNOs. Because Aspider can provide many of the services for which Solavei currently obtain through

    contracts with third parties, the proposed transaction will allow Solavei to significantly streamline and

    enhance its business. The mobile service platform provided by Aspider provides advanced

    capabilities that will allow Solavei to rapidly deploy various mobile services to its members. For its

    part, Aspider will integrate Solaveis social commerce platform into its existing technology platform, making it available to millions of subscribers and the MVNOs and MNOs providing them service. This platform will create a fully managed mobile service ecosystem including network wholesale,

    retail infrastructure and social engagement.

    Ryan Wuerch will remain CEO and Chairman, along with other executives from Solavei

    continuing to lead its growth and expansion.

    2. Trade Secret Lawsuits.

    During the case, the Debtor learned that some of the parties involved in the failed prepetition

    merger discussions, as well as some of the Debtors former employee(s), may have unlawfully used trade secrets and other confidential information to build and promote competing businesses.

    Pursuant to this Courts employment order (Docket No. 226), the Debtor engaged litigation counsel at the Texas law firm of Schiffer Odom Hicks & Johnson PLLC (Contingent Fee Counsel) to pursue claims against these individuals and entitles (the Trade Secret Claims) and has filed two lawsuits in which it is represented by counsel on a contingency fee basis: Solavei, LLC vs. SGE

    Management LLC, et al, pending in the Dallas County 192nd District Court, Case No. DC-15-00782

    (the Stream Lawsuit); and Solavei, LLC v. Robert McFadden, Social Mobile, pending in King County Superior Court, Case No. 15-2-00505-7 SEA (the McFadden Lawsuit), (together, the Trade Secret Lawsuits). Any net proceeds, after payment of fees and costs, generated by the Trade Secret Lawsuits (the Trade Secret Lawsuit Proceeds) will be preserved for and distributed to creditors pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

    1. Secured Claims

    2043 20131 {c13ef06ed

    indebted to Opus in the principal amount of $4,800,000, plus interest. Pursuant to the Security

    Agreement and a UCC-1 financing statement filed with the state of Delaware on July 11, 2013 (File

    No. 2013 2658962), Opus Bank holds a first position security interest in all of the Debtors personal property.

    b. T-Mobile. T-Mobile U.S.A., Inc. (T-Mobile) holds a prepetition claim in the amount of approximately $21,615,653 arising from the prepetition relationship between the parties

    pursuant to which the Debtor purchased mobile service from T-Mobile on a wholesale basis. The

    prepetition claim consists of the Debtors unpaid deferred balance due to T-Mobile as of the Petition Date. A UCC-1 financing statement in favor of T-Mobile was filed on October 4, 2013 (DE file no.

    2013 3905248) with respect to the following collateral:

    [a]ll mobile service customer accounts, all contract rights relating to Debtors mobile service customer agreements, all Receivables (rights to payment from Debtors mobile service customers), all data, mobile service customer lists and books and records and

    proceeds relating to the foregoing.

    Post-petition, T-Mobile holds accrued unpaid claims for services provided to the Debtor. In

    the post-petition period ending with December 31, 2014, this amount totaled approximately $1.4

    million. Since January 1, 2015, T-Mobile has continued to accrue an Administrative Expense Claim

    for unpaid services, with its agreement. Assuming the Plan is confirmed, T-Mobile will waive its

    Administrative Expense Claim through December 31, 2014, and its remaining Administrative

    Expense Claim will be paid according to the terms set forth in the Plan.

    c. Noteholders. Numerous individuals and entities (collectively, the

    Noteholders) loaned funds to the Debtor in connection with two tranches of financing identified as Bridge and Tranche B. The Debtors cumulative principal obligations on these tranches of financing are as follows:

    Principal Approximate Balance with

    interest and Fees as of 6/11/2014

    Bridge 10,973,984.00 11,476,408

    Tranche B 2,850,000 3,294,140

    14,770,548

    The Noteholders that loaned funds as part of the Bridge financing (the Bridge Noteholders) and the Noteholders that loaned funds as part of the Tranche B financing (the Tranche B Noteholders) are identified on Exhibit B hereto, along with the principal amounts loaned.

    Security Agreements were executed in favor of all of the Noteholders with respect to the

    Bridge and Tranche B financings, and two UCC-1 financing statements were filed in favor of the

    Noteholders, one on September 24, 2013 (DE file no. 2013 3723526) and one on October 11, 2013

    (DE file no. 2013 4010352). Pursuant to the UCC-1 filings, the Noteholders hold perfected security

    interests in all of the Debtors assets.

    2. Priority Tax Claims. The nature of the Debtors business in telecommunications operations involves operations in numerous tax reporting jurisdictions around the United States.

    Many of these jurisdictions reflect nominal tax amounts incurred from one-time customers in

    locations where mobile service was not adequate to sustain a customer base. All claims for taxing

    authorities due on the Petition Date were scheduled as Disputed, meaning that in order to assert a claim, a taxing authority needed to file a timely Proof of Claim.

    Taxing entities filed total of 62 Proofs of Claim in the case asserting priority tax claims in the

    total amount of $306,012.52.

    3. Wage Claims.

    A number of the Debtors former employees hold Priority Wage Claims for amounts incurred within 180 days of the Petition Date. Under the Bankruptcy Code, these prepetition claims are

    entitled to priority treatment up to the amount of $12,475.00 or less per employee (each, a Priority Wage Claim). According to the Debtors records, Priority Wage Claims total $25,755.00.

    Additionally, the Debtors current employees who will be employed by Newco post-confirmation are have claims against the Debtor related to their employment with the Debtor (the

    Continuing Employment Claims). The Continuing Employment Claims will be assumed and paid by Newco.

    4. General Unsecured Claims ( including Ascentium Corporation).

    The Debtors schedules reflect that, as of the Petition Date, there were $19,759,380.47 in general unsecured claims. Claimants filing proofs of claim have asserted $20,791,808.69 in general

    unsecured claims. This amount does not include potential claims related to rejection of executory

    contracts or claims for deficiency, if any, by Claimants holding Allowed Secured Claims.

    On or about April 17, 2013, the Debtor executed a promissory note in favor of Ascentium

    Corporation (Ascentium), an unsecured creditor, in the amount of $899,211.63. The Debtor never executed a security agreement or other document describing any collateral or containing a grant of a

    security interest in favor of Ascentium. Over nine months later and without notifying the Debtor,

    Ascentium, without authority, caused a UCC-1 financing statement to be filed in Delaware in which

    Ascentium Corporation identified itself as the secured party and the Debtor as the debtor and

    inaccurately and improperly indicated that Ascentium holds a security interest in all of the Debtors assets. The Debtor did not prepare, execute or authorize Ascentium to file the financing statement.

    Ascentium Corporation filed a proof of claim in the Bankruptcy asserting a secured claim in the

    amount of $1,001,360.32 (the Ascentium Proof of Claim). At the time it files its Plan or shortly thereafter, the Debtor has filed or will file an objection to the Ascentium Proof of Claim on the basis

    that the Debtor never granted a security interest to Ascentium in anything and that Ascentium

    improperly filed a UCC-1 financing statement. The Plan properly treats Ascentium as an unsecured

    claim in Class 6.

    ARTICLE V.

    SUMMARY OF PROPOSED PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

    A complete copy of the proposed Plan accompanies this Disclosure Statement. The discussion

    of the Plan that follows constitutes a summary only. You are urged to read the Plan itself with care

    before deciding to accept or reject the Plan.

    A. Explanation of Impaired and Unimpaired Claims

    The term Impaired as used herein refers to those creditors to whom this Disclosure Statement (and the related Ballots and other materials delivered together herewith) are being furnished

    and who are entitled to accept or reject the Plan. Holders of claims in impaired classes are entitled to

    vote to accept or reject the Plan.

    The term Unimpaired refers to those creditors whose claims or interests remain unaltered by the reorganization effectuated by the Plan. Because of this favorable treatment, these creditors are

    conclusively deemed to have accepted the Plan. Accordingly, under Section 1126(f) of the

    Bankruptcy Code, it is not necessary to solicit acceptances from the holders of claims or interests in

    such classes.

    B. Classification of Claims and Interests

    1. Unclassified Claims

    a. Administrative Claims

    As defined under the Plan, Administrative Expense Claims are Allowed Claims for costs or

    expenses of the Chapter 11 Case that are allowed under sections 503(b) and 507(a)(1) of the

    Bankruptcy Code. Unless such Holder agrees to different treatment, each Holder of an Allowed

    Administrative Expense Claim against the Debtor shall receive payment of such claim from the Plan

    Administrator, either upon, or as promptly as practicable after the Distribution Date provided,

    however, that each Allowed Administrative Expense Claim which is an Ordinary Course

    Administrative Expense Claims shall be deemed Allowed in the amount shown in the Debtors records unless such claim is a Disputed Claim, and shall be assumed by Newco and paid in the

    ordinary course of business by Newco in accordance with the terms and conditions of the particular

    agreement(s) governing such Ordinary Course Administrative Expense Claim.

    b. T-Mobile Administrative Expense Claim

    Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, by agreement with T-Mobile, the T-

    Mobile Administrative Expense Claim, subject to liquidation as to the amount, shall be deemed

    Allowed and paid in cash, in full, at Closing, provided, however, that if Closing occurs on or before

    the Effective Date, the T-Mobile Administrative Expense Claim shall be deemed satisfied by payment

    of an amount equal to the Debtors then-outstanding payment obligation to T-Mobile for services provided from January 1, 2015 through Closing, less $352,000.

    c. Priority Tax Claims

    As defined under the Plan, Priority Tax Claims are Allowed Claims of taxing agencies that are

    entitled to priority in accordance with section 507(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code. Priority Tax Claims

    include the principal portion of the applicable tax and interest accrued thereon through the Petition

    Date but do not include any penalties. Priority Tax Claims against the Debtor shall be paid in full as

    soon as practicable after allowance of such claims. Claims of taxing agencies incurred post-petition

    shall be assumed and paid when due by Newco. Claims of taxing agencies for penalties against the

    Debtor shall be Class 6 claims to the extent they are Allowed Claims and shall not be treated under

    this paragraph.

    2. Classified Claims and Interests

    The Plan establishes six (6) Classes of Claims and one (1) Class of Interests with respect to the

    Debtor. If the Plan is confirmed by the Court and becomes effective, the class into which each

    Allowed Claim and Allowed Prepetition Interest fits will determine the manner in which such claim or

    interest will be treated. The classes defined in the proposed Plan are summarized below.

    Class 1: Allowed Secured Claim of Opus Bank

    Class 2: Allowed Secured Claim of T-Mobile

    Class 3: Allowed Secured Claim of Noteholders

    Class 4: Allowed Priority Wage Claims

    Class 5: Continuing Employment Claims

    Class 6: Allowed General Unsecured Claims

    Class 7: Allowed Prepetition Interests

    C. Treatment of Classified Claims and Interests Under the Plan

    The Treatment of Classified Claims and Interests Under the Plan, and the Means for Execution

    of the Plan, are set forth in Sections V and VI, respectively, of the Plan and are summarized below.

    Notwithstanding the summary provided below, the terms of the Plan shall control the classification

    and treatment of claims and all other aspects of the Debtors rights and obligations as to matters governed by the Plan following the Effective Date. Parties are urged to read the Plan with care to

    determine the treatment proposed for their Claim or Interest.

    In summary, the Plan treats the various classes as follows:

    1. Class 1: Opus Bank Secured Claim.

    Class 1 is Impaired and consists of the Opus Bank Allowed Secured Claim (Class 1 Claim). Pursuant to the Plan, the Class 1 Claim shall be deemed an Allowed Secured Claim and shall be

    treated and satisfied as follows:

    Class 7 is Impaired and consists of the Allowed Interests. All Interests shall be deemed

    ARTICLE VI.

    MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION; DISTRIBUTIONS;

    RETENTION OF CLAIMS

    1. Aspider Transaction. On the Effective Date, the Aspider Transaction, on the terms

    and conditions set forth in the Aspider Agreement, a true copy of which is attached as Exhibit A to the

    Plan, shall be consummated. Pursuant to the Plan, the Aspider Agreement and its terms, including the

    terms of any additional documents related to the Aspider Agreement, shall be fully incorporated into

    the Plan by reference such that all of the terms of the Aspider Agreement shall be considered part of

    the Plan. Aspider will pay to the Debtor the Purchase Price in exchange for the Acquired Assets. The

    Purchase Price, exclusive of the Opus Note, the T-Mobile Note, the Class 6 Note, and the Newco

    Equity Interest, which will be transferred at Closing, will be distributed by the Plan Administrator in

    accordance with the provisions of Section VII of the Plan.

    2. Corporate Governance of Newco. Upon its formation, Newco will be a separate

    legal entity from the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, and the Estate. It shall be owned by the

    Noteholders (through their receipt of 40% of the Newco Equity Interests) and by Aspider and/or other

    investors who fund the cash to consummate the Aspider Transaction (60% of the Newco Equity

    Interests). The Aspider Agreement provides for a management incentive program to be instituted by

    the Newco Board, after formation of Newco and the Closing/Effective Date. Currently, there is no

    written or oral agreement as to the terms of this management incentive program, though the program

    will incentivize management with respect to forward looking performance and success and will not

    compensate any person due to that persons existing role with the Debtor. The Newco Board will be comprised of directors and governed as set forth in the Aspider Agreement. With respect to current

    members of the Debtors senior management team, it is assumed that the following individuals will be employed by Newco in the same or similar roles as their current roles at similar compensation levels:

    Ryan K. Wuerch, CEO

    Nathan A. Gooden, CFO

    Jamie Kuhnhausen, Head of Human Resources

    Kris Lentz, Head of Product

    3. Plan Administrator. The Committee shall designate the Plan Administrator prior to

    entry of the Confirmation Order, subject to the Debtors consent which shall not be unreasonably, withheld. The identity of the Plan Administrator and the terms of compensation will be set forth in

    the Confirmation Order. The Plan Administrator, on behalf of the Debtor, shall have responsibility

    for administering Claims, including making objections where appropriate and obtaining necessary

    claims orders; paying taxes; distributing payments required to be made under the Plan; ensuring the

    completion of any necessary tax returns; filing any necessary post-confirmation reports; making

    decisions about the settlement and or continued pursuit of the Trade Secret Lawsuits; obtaining a final

    decree and performing such other tasks as may be necessary to fully administer the foregoing. To the

    extent necessary, the Plan Administrator shall be authorized to continue to employ and utilize the

    services of the Debtors Professionals or such other professionals as the Plan Administrator may deem necessary which expenses shall be paid from the Post-Confirmation Administrative Fund. The Plan

    Administrator shall also pay any post-confirmation United States Trustee fees (incurred in any quarter

    after the Effective Date occurs). The Plan Administrator shall have the sole authority to pay the

    expenses associated with the foregoing without the need for further Court approval.

    4. Effectuating Documents/Further Transactions. The Debtor and its officers and

    designees are authorized to execute, deliver, file, or record such contracts, instruments, releases,

    indentures, and other agreements or documents, and take such actions as may be necessary or

    appropriate to effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan or to otherwise

    comply with applicable law.

    5. Exemption from Transfer Taxes and Certain Recording Fees. Pursuant to

    Bankruptcy Code 1146(a), any transfers from the Debtor to the Reorganized Debtor or to any other

    person or entity pursuant to the Plan, or any agreement regarding the transfer of title to or ownership

    of any of the Debtors personal property or issuance of membership interests will not be subject to any stamp tax or similar tax.

    6. Continued Estate Existence/Further Authorization. The Debtor and/or the

    Reorganized Debtor, as well as the Plan Administrator, shall be entitled to seek such orders,

    judgments, injunctions and rulings as they deem necessary to carry out the intentions and purposes,

    and to give full effect to the provisions, of the Plan. The Estate will continue to exist after the

    Effective Date.

    7. Creditors Committee. On the Effective Date, the Creditors Committee shall dissolve automatically, whereupon its members, professionals, and agents shall be released from any

    further duties and responsibilities in the Bankruptcy Case and under the Bankruptcy Code, except for

    the limited purposes of filing applications for compensation in accordance with the Plan.

    2043 20131 {c13ef06ed

    B. Retention of Claims and Causes of Action/Waiver of Avoidance Actions

    Unless otherwise waived under the Plan, all rights, claims and causes of action, whether

    equitable or legal, and all defenses, counterclaims and setoffs, whether equitable or legal, of the

    Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor against all persons are reserved for the Reorganized Debtor,

    including but not limited to the Trade Secret Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtor and

    the Estate shall be deemed to have waived and released all Avoidance Actions against all parties as of

    the Effective Date.

    The Debtor has provided to the Committee its analysis of potential Avoidance Actions. In

    large part, these would be based on payments to non-insider creditors, primarily the Debtors vendors and suppliers, within 90 days of the Petition Date. Such payments may be recovered as preferences, if

    late, and if no defenses existed. The total amount of late payments to non-insiders within 90 days

    prior to the Petition Date totaled approximately $2,630,000. Many of these payments may be subject

    to defenses, including unpaid new value outstanding on the Petition Date. In addition, Aspider

    disfavors preference actions against the Debtors former vendors and suppliers, as this may negatively impact Aspiders ability to maintain going-forward relationships with these key vendors. With respect to payments to insiders during the year before the Petition Date, the Debtors analysis, provided to the Committee, shows all such payments were 1) made timely according to the terms of

    the relevant instrument(s); or were 2) for salary or expense reimbursements.

    Based on the above, the Plan provides for waiver of all Avoidance Claims.

    C. Distributions Under the Plan

    1. Sources of Funds for Distribution. The distributions provided for in the Plan shall be

    made from: a) the Purchase Price and b) the Trade Secret Lawsuit Proceeds, if any.

    2. Disputed Claims. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan specifying the time for

    payment of distributions to holders of Claims, no payment or distribution shall be made to the Holder

    of any Disputed Claim until the time such Claim has been determined to be an Allowed Claim.

    Notwithstanding the existence of a Disputed Claim in a Class to which a distribution under the Plan is

    due, such distribution to other creditors shall not be affected by any delay in the resolution of the

    Disputed Claim. Upon the allowance of any Disputed Claim, the Holder shall be paid the amount that

    such Holder would have received had its Claim been an Allowed Claim on the Effective Date.

    3. Distributions by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall make all

    distributions required to be distributed under the Plan.

    4. De Minimus Distributions. The Plan Administrator shall not have an obligation to

    make a distribution if the amount to be distributed to the specific Holder of the Allowed Claim is or

    has a value of less than fifty dollars ($50.00).

    after the Petition Date on any Claim.

    ARTICLE VII.

    CLAIMS OBJECTIONS AND TREATMENT OF DISPUTED CLAIMS

    A. Administration of Claims

    Except as otherwise provided for in the Plan, each Claim shall be Allowed or disallowed, as

    the case may be, in such amount as the Court shall determine, whether prior to or following

    Confirmation, and whether pursuant to this Plan or otherwise, upon such notice as the Bankruptcy

    Court or Bankruptcy Rules shall permit except that, after the bankruptcy case is closed, the Plan

    Administrator may settle or compromise any controversies regarding Claims without notice or further

    order of the Court.

    B. Affirmative Claims, Defenses and Counterclaims Assigned to the Reorganized Debtor

    On the Effective Date, the Debtor shall be deemed to have assigned to the Reorganized Debtor

    and its continuing bankruptcy estate, and the Reorganized Debtor and its continuing bankruptcy estate

    shall be deemed to have acquired and become the successor to, all defenses, counterclaims and setoffs,

    whether equitable or legal, of the Debtor to Claims held or asserted to be held against the Debtor, and

    all claims of the Debtor for relief against any other party. Any objection to Claims must be filed and

    served in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3007; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations

    do not apply to any claims filed subsequent to Confirmation.

    ARTICLE VIII.

    EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

    Attached to the Plan as Exhibit C is a list of all of the executory contracts and/or unexpired

    leases to which the Debtor is a party, along with the Debtors calculation of the pre-petition amounts owed with respect to each such executory contract or unexpired lease. At least seven (7) days prior to

    the deadline for filing objections to the Plan, Debtor shall file a list (the Designated Contracts List) setting forth each executory contract and/or unexpired lease that the Debtor proposes to assume and

    assign to Newco under the Plan (each, a Designated Contract) and shall serve the Designated Contracts List on the non-debtor parties to the relevant Designated Contracts. The Plan constitutes a

    motion to assume the Designated Contracts set forth on the Designated Contracts List. As to each

    Designated Contract, the Debtor proposes that the amount of the Cure Claim shall be either the

    amount set forth in Exhibit C or such lower amount as may be included on the Designated Contracts

    List. Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval, as of the

    Effective Date, of the Debtors assumption of each Designated Contract and its assignment of each Designated Contract to Newco (each, an Assumed Contract). The Confirmation Order shall further effectuate the rejection of the contracts and leases set forth on Exhibit C that are not Designated

    Contracts (each, a Rejected Contract). With respect to T-Mobiles existing Wholesale Supply Agreement (WSA) in place with the Debtor, pursuant to the terms of the Aspider Transaction and assuming such transaction Closes, and subject to the terms of the Plan Support Agreement between T-

    Mobile and Aspider, T-Mobiles WSA will be assigned to Newco in exchange for the payments and T-Mobile Note contemplated in the Plan, and T-Mobile will not hold a Rejection Claim.

    All claims arising from the rejection of a Rejected Contract pursuant to the Plan (each, a

    Rejection Claim), must be filed with the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court and served upon the Plan Administrator and the Debtors counsel within thirty (30) days after the date of entry of the Confirmation Order. Allowed Rejection Claims constitute Class 6 Claims under the Plan.

    ARTICLE IX.

    LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS

    The Bankruptcy Code requires that a creditor with a right to vote either accept the Plan, or that

    such creditor receive under the Plan at least as much as it would receive if the debtors assets were liquidated in and the proceeds distributed under a Chapter 7 liquidation. This is generally known as

    the best interests test. To apply the test, a debtors assets are valued at the dollar amount that would be generated from their distressed liquidation in the context of a Chapter 7 case by a trustee appointed

    by the Bankruptcy Court. The estimated values take into account the costs and expenses of the

    liquidation, and such additional administrative and priority claims that may result from the

    termination of the debtors business and the use of Chapter 7 for the purpose of liquidation. Net liquidation proceeds would be paid to general unsecured creditors only to the extent funds are

    available after secured creditors have been paid the full value of their collateral and priority creditors

    receive full payment on their claims. In the event of conversion to a case under Chapter 7 of the

    Code, in order to complete the distribution to creditors, the estate would incur a Chapter 7 trustees fee paid in the percentages indicated by 11 U.S.C. 326.

    In the event of a Chapter 7 liquidation, the Debtors business would immediately cease and, its customers would immediately migrate to a new carrier in order to continue uninterrupted service.

    Because the Debtors customers are essentially invisible to T-Mobile, the provider of the backbone to the Debtor, T-Mobile would be unable to migrate the Debtors customers to its platform. The value of the Debtors customer base would be lost. The Debtors remaining assets would likely have little or no value, as the remaining assets are primarily software and intellectual property designed by the

    Debtor to support its customer base. The only potential assets available in a Chapter 7 liquidation

    would likely be any Trade Secret Lawsuit Proceeds and Avoidance Claims, all of which are

    unencumbered assets, meaning that no existing creditor holds a lien or first right to these assets.

    The Plan proposes to distribute twenty percent (20%) of the Trade Secret Lawsuit Proceeds to

    Class 3 Claims, after reduction for the value of the 40% Newco Equity Interests distributed to those

    Claims, and eighty percent (80%) of the Trade Secret Lawsuit Proceeds to Class 6 Claims. In a

    liquidation, all creditors, not just Class 6 and Class 3 would be entitled to share in the Trade Secret

    Lawsuit Proceeds, if any. This would substantially dilute the percentage of the Trade Secret Lawsuit

    Proceeds that would go to Class 3 Claims or Class 6 Claims. The following shows the pool of

    creditors that will share in the Trade Secret Lawsuit Proceeds in a liquidation (all creditors):

    In a Liquidation: Total Pool to Share = $61,977,000

    Class 1 (Opus) $4,800,000 (7.7% of Pool)

    Class 2 (T-Mobile) $21,616,000 (34.9% of Pool)

    Class 3 (Noteholders) $14,770,000 (23.8% of Pool)

    Class 6 (General Unsecured) $20,791,000 (33.6% of Pool)

    Total Claims to Share $61,977,000

    If the Debtor abruptly closed its business operations and converted its case to a Chapter 7,

    there would be significant unpaid Administrative Expense Claims without any funds to pay them,

    estimated as follows:

    T-Mobile (unpaid post-petition credit) $3,000,000

    Trade Credit, Taxes and Other Ordinary

    Course Administrative Expenses

    $1,400,000

    Professional Fees $100,000 to $200,000

    Opus Adequate Protection Claims Per

    Cash Collateral Orders

    Unknown

    Total Estimated Ch 11 Admin Claims $3,500,000 +

    In a Chapter 7 scenario, before any funds would be distributed on account of prepetition

    claims, these Administrative Expense Claims would need to be paid, along with the Chapter 7

    trustees expenses. This would include any Trade Secret Lawsuit Proceeds and any recoveries from Avoidance Claims. As discussed herein, the Debtors analysis is that there is not a likelihood of substantial recovery from Avoidance Claims. At best, the proceeds generated by a Chapter 7 trustee

    from avoidance claims would be only a small reduction in the approximately $3,500,000 in Chapter

    11 Administrative Claims detailed above. This essentially means that the only potential recovery for

    creditors in a Chapter 7 would be from the Trade Secret Lawsuit Proceeds, if any. Even ignoring the

    Chapter 11 Administrative Expense Claims, the proposed Plan treats all creditors far better than they

    would be treated in a liquidation.

    Following is a comparison of the proposed Plan treatment of various Classes and the outcome

    in a liquidation, again, ignoring the $3,500,000 of Chapter 11 Administrative Expense Claims that

    would likely further dilute the recoveries in a liquidation:

    Class/Creditor(s) Under Plan Terms In a Liquidation

    Class 1 (Opus) $2.5million cash/note 7.6% of Trade Secret Lawsuit Proceeds

    Class 2 (T-Mobile) $5million cash/note 36.3% of Trade Secret Lawsuit Proceeds

    Class 3 (Nholders) 40% Newco equity and 23.3% of Trade Secret Lawsuit Proceeds

    20% of Trade Secret Lawsuit

    Proceeds

    Class 6 (Unsecureds) $1,000,000 cash and 32.8% of Trade Secret Lawsuit Proceeds

    Based on this analysis, the proposed Plan treats all Classes of creditors far better than they

    would be treated in a liquidation. Therefore, the best interest of creditors test is satisfied.

    ARTICLE X.

    TAX CONSEQUENCES

    A. Tax Consequences for Debtor

    The Debtor is a Delaware limited liability company taxed as a partnership for federal income

    tax purposes. As such, any federal income tax liability is incurred and paid, if due, by its members.

    While the Plan anticipates significant cancellation of indebtedness (COD), it is not anticipated that this COD will create any federal income tax liability for the Debtor or its Estate. The Debtor is unable

    to offer an opinion as to whether partnership minimum gain will be triggered under Treas. Reg.

    1.704-1(b)(2) and (d), whether partnership minimum gain chargeback would be triggered under Treas.

    Reg. 1.704-2, or any other effect under Subchapter K of the IRC.

    The Plan may or may not create tax consequences to the Equity Holders in connection with the

    inclusion in their allocable shares of partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, credit and other items

    in their taxable income. The Debtor offers no opinion on these matters.

    EACH AND EVERY EQUITY HOLDER IS STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT A

    PROFESSIONAL TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL TAX

    CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN AND IN THE PLAN.

    B. Tax Consequences to Creditors

    The Debtor expects that creditors will report any payments received under the Plan and any

    amounts disbursed in accordance with their normal method of accounting. The Debtor is unable to

    provide any opinion to creditors with respect to any tax consequences as a result of the Plan being

    confirmed on the terms set forth herein. CREDITORS ARE STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT A

    PROFESSIONAL TAX ADVISOR REGARDING ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE

    TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN AND CONTEMPLATED BY THE PLAN.

    XI.

    VOTE TO REJECT THE PLAN WILL NOT AFFECT THE TREATMENT TO BE ACCORDED A

    CLAIM OR INTEREST IF THE PLAN NEVERTHELESS IS CONFIRMED.

    If more than one-half in number of claimants voting and at least two-thirds in amount of the

    Allowed Claims of such claimants in each Class of Claims vote to accept the Plan, such Classes will

    be deemed to have accepted the Plan. If at least two-thirds in amount of the shares voted in a Class of

    Interests are voted to accept the Plan, such Class will be deemed to have accepted the Plan. For

    purposes of determining whether a Class of Claims or Interests has accepted or rejected the Plan, only

    the votes of those who have timely returned their ballots will be considered.

    B. Hearing on Confirmation

    The hearing on confirmation of the Plan has been set for ____________________, 2015

    before the Honorable Timothy W. Dore, United States Bankruptcy Judge, Courtroom 8106, 700

    Stewart St., Seattle, WA,
