initiated through the filing of a Complaint by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Group (the "▇▇▇▇▇▇ Adversary").

1.6 On September 9, 1997, Diagnostic filed a Chapter
11 Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan"), which is currently
pending before the Bankruptcy Court and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group
objected to confirmation of the Plan (the "▇▇▇▇▇▇
Objection"). The ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Objection is pending before the
Bankruptcy Court.
1.7 In the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Objection, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group has
alleged that the security interests held by Marathon and

permit the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group to bring such a cause of action on
behalf of the Estate.
1.8 Marathon, Quantum and Diagnostic dispute that the
security interests of Marathon and Quantum are avoidable on
behalf of the Bankruptcy Estate and allege that the ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Group does not have standing to object to the Bankruptcy
Estate claims.

an order, holding that the confirmation process should not
move forward until all pending litigation between the
parties including litigation as to whether any member of the
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group has standing to assert any claims or equity
interests or to object to confirmation is completed and
resolved by the Bankruptcy Court.

litigation will result in the incurrence by all parties of
