Rejection Generally. On the Effective Date, except for an executory contract or unexpired lease that was previously assumed, assumed and assigned or rejected by an order of the Bankruptcy Court or that is assumed pursuant to Section 5.1, each executory contract or unexpired lease entered into by a Debtor prior to the Petition Date that has not previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms shall be deemed rejected pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. The executory contracts or unexpired leases to be rejected pursuant to this Plan will include the executory contracts or unexpired leases listed on Plan Supplement 11B. Each executory contract and unexpired lease listed on Plan Supplement 11B shall be rejected only to the extent that any such contract or lease constitutes an executory contract or unexpired lease. Listing a contract on Plan Supplement 11B will not constitute an admission by a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor that such contract or lease is an executory contract or unexpired lease or that a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder. Regardless of whether an executory contract or unexpired lease is listed on Plan Supplement 11B, it will be deemed rejected unless such contract (a) is listed on Plan Supplement 11A, (b) was previously assumed, assumed and assigned, or rejected by order of the Bankruptcy Court, or (c) is deemed assumed pursuant to Sections 5.1(c) through 5.1(g), Section 5.4 or Section 6.10.
