MEMORANDUM OPINION

HARLIN D. HALE, Bankruptcy Judge.

This opinion addresses two issues which appear frequently in a contested confirmation hearing: classification of claims and plan provisions which affect third party liability. Although this case is not of national importance, it is very important to the parties involved. In addition, because these issues arise frequently in Chapter 11 cases, the Court issues this memorandum opinion.
