If any class of claims or interests rejects the Plan or is deemed to reject the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court may nevertheless confirm the Plan if the Bankruptcy Court finds (i) that at least one class of claims that is impaired has accepted the Plan and (ii) that the Plan accords fair and equitable treatment to, and does not discriminate unfairly against, the class or classes rejecting it, and otherwise satisfies the requirements of 11 U.S.C. § 1129(b).
