Each priority unsecured creditor has been paid in full or agreed to other treatment. Each non-priority unsecured creditor will receive under at least as much as the creditor would have received if the debtor had filed a Chapter 7 and it appears that the debtor’s plan is feasible and that the debtor will be able t make the required payments and comply with the plan.
