EXHIBIT 2.2 UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION In re: Case No. 01-52629-R TALON AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC., ET AL., Chapter 11 Hon. Steven W. Rhodes Debtors. Jointly Administered __________________________________________/ ORDER (I) GRANTING FINAL APPROVAL TO DEBTORS' JOINT SECOND AMENDED DISCLOSURE STATEMENT; AND (II) CONFIRMING DEBTORS' JOINT SECOND AMENDED PLAN OF REORGANIZATION, DATED AUGUST 15, 2001 At a session of said Court, held in Detroit, Michigan, on Nov 14 2001 PRESENT: Hon.______________________ U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Talon Automotive Group, Inc. ("Talon") and VS Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"), debtors and debtors in possession herein (the "Debtors"), having filed Debtors' Joint Combined Second Amended Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") and Second Amended Disclosure Statement (the "Disclosure Statement"), Dated August 15, 2001 with this Court; this Court having entered its August 7 and 16, 2001 Orders granting preliminary approval of the Disclosure Statement (the "Preliminary Approval Orders"); the Debtors having served creditors, equity security holders and other parties in interest with a copy of the Preliminary Approval Orders, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement and a ballot consistent with the provisions of the Preliminary Approval Orders and other Orders of this Court; all objections to the Disclosure Statement and/or Plan (having been filed and served on or before the deadline therefor, or within a time frame to which Debtors otherwise stipulated) having been resolved; the Court having heard arguments of counsel on October 29, 2001 at the hearing on confirmation of the Plan and final approval of the Disclosure Statement in open Court (the "Confirmation Hearing") and the Court being otherwise duly advised in the premises; FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW IT IS HEREBY FOUND AND DETERMINED THAT: 1 A. Exclusive Jurisdiction; Venue; Core Proceeding (28 U.S.C. ss.ss. 157(b)(2) and 1334(a)). On June 29, 2001 (the "Petition Date"), the Debtors commenced their respective bankruptcy cases (collectively, the "Case") by filing voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the "Code"). The Debtors have been continuing in possession of their property and operating and managing their businesses, as debtors in possession, pursuant to sections 1107 and 1108 of the Code. This Court has jurisdiction over the Case pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ss.ss. 157 and 1334. Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ss.ss. 1408 and 1409. Final approval of the Disclosure Statement and confirmation of the Plan are core proceedings under 28 U.S.C. ss. 157(b)(2), and this Court has exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether the Disclosure Statement and Plan comply with the applicable provisions of the Code and should be respectively approved and confirmed. B. Transmittal and Mailing of Materials; Notice. All due, adequate and sufficient notice of the Disclosure Statement and Plan and of the Confirmation Hearing, along with all deadlines for voting on or filing objections to the Disclosure Statement and Plan, has been given to all known holders of Claims and Interests in accordance with the Preliminary Approval Orders and further orders of the Court. The Disclosure Statement, the Plan, ballots, and notice of the Confirmation Hearing were transmitted and served in compliance with the Preliminary Approval Orders, further orders of the Court, and the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure ("Bankruptcy Rules"), and such transmittal and service are determined to be adequate and sufficient. Adequate and sufficient notice of the Confirmation Hearing and the other bar dates and hearings was given in compliance with the Bankruptcy Rules, the Preliminary Approval Orders and further orders of the Court, and no other or further notice is or shall be required. C. Adequacy of Information. The Disclosure Statement contains adequate information within the meaning of Section 1125(a) of the Code. D. Solicitation. Votes for acceptance or rejection of the Plan were solicited in good faith and complied with sections 1125 and 1126 of the Code, Bankruptcy Rules 3017 and 3018, the Disclosure Statement, all other applicable provisions of the Code, and all other applicable rules, laws, and regulations. 2 E. Distribution. All procedures used to distribute ballots to the applicable holders of Claims and Interests and to tabulate the ballots were fair and conducted in accordance with the Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the local rules of the Bankruptcy Court, and all other applicable rules, laws, and regulations. F. Classes that have Voted to Accept the Plan. As evidenced by the Declaration of Counsel Regarding Service of Solicitation Package And Results of The Ballot Tabulation For Debtors' Joint Combined Second Amended Plan of Reorganization And Second Amended Disclosure Statement, Dated August 15, 2001, as delivered to the Court at the Confirmation Hearing, which certified both the method and results of the voting, Classes 4, 5, 6 and 7 have accepted the Plan pursuant to the requirements of sections 1124 and 1126 of the Code. Thus, at least one impaired class of claims has voted to accept the Plan. G. Burden of Proof. The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have the burden of proving the elements of sections 1129(a) and (b) by a preponderance of the evidence. H. Plan Compliance With Code (11 U.S.C.ss.1129(a)(1)). The Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Code, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(1) of the Code. i. Proper Classification (11 U.S.C.ss.ss.1122, 1123(a)(1)). In addition to Administrative Claims, and Priority Tax Claims which are not required to be designated, the Plan designates five Classes of Claims and two Classes of Interests. The Claims placed in each Class are substantially similar to all other Claims in that Class. There exists a legally valid business and factual basis for separately classifying the various Classes of Claims created under the Plan. Thus, the Plan satisfies sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Code. ii. Specify Unimpaired Classes (11 U.S.C. 1123(a)(2)). Because Classes 1, 2, and 3 are designated under the Plan as unimpaired, the requirement of section 1123(a)(2) of the Code is satisfied. iii. Specify Treatment of Impaired Classes (11 U.S.C.ss.1123(a)(3)). All Classes designated under the Plan as impaired are treated under the Plan as set forth in Article III of the Plan, which specifies the treatment of Claims in Classes 4, 5, 6 and 7, thereby satisfying section 1123(a)(3) of the Code. 3 iv. No Discrimination (11 U.S.C. 1123(a)(4)). The Plan provides for the same treatment by the Debtors for each Claim in each respective Class unless the holder of a particular Claim in that Class has agreed to less favorable treatment with respect to such Claim, thereby satisfying section 1123(a)(4) of the Code. v. Implementation of Plan (11 U.S.C.ss.1123(a)(5)). The Plan provides adequate and proper means for implementation of the Plan, thereby satisfying section 1123(a)(5) of the Code. vi. Selection of Officers and Directors (11 U.S.C. ss. 1123(a)(7)). The Plan provides that, Old Talon Equity shall appoint one director of Reorganized Holdings, the chief executive officer of Reorganized Holdings shall be a director of Reorganized Holdings, and the Noteholder Committee shall appoint the remaining directors. This manner of selection is consistent with public policy and the interests of creditors. Thus, the requirement of Section 1123(a)(7) if the Code is satisfied. vii. Additional Plan Provisions (11 U.S.C.ss.1123(b)). The Plan's provisions are appropriate and consistent with the applicable provisions of the Code, including provisions for (a) the disposition of executory contracts and unexpired leases; and (b) releases of and covenants not to sue various Persons and Entities, exculpation of various Persons and Entities with respect to actions taken in furtherance of the Chapter 11 Case, and permanent injunctions against certain actions against the Debtors and their property. viii. Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3016(a). The Plan is dated and identifies the Entities submitting it, thereby satisfying Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3016(a). I. Debtor's Compliance With Code (11 U.S.C.ss.1129(a)(2)). The Debtors have complied with the applicable provisions of the Code, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(2) of the Code. Specifically: i. The Debtors are proper debtors under section 109 of the Code and proper proponents of the Plan under section 1121(a) of the Code. ii. The Debtors have complied with the applicable provisions of the Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Preliminary Approval Orders and other orders of the Court in 4 transmitting the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the ballots and related documents and notices, and in soliciting and tabulating votes on the Plan. J. Plan Proposed in Good Faith (11 U.S.C.ss.1129(a)(3)). The Debtors have proposed the Plan in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(3) of the Code. In determining that the Plan has been proposed in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law, the Court has examined the totality of the circumstances surrounding the filing of the Case and the formulation of the Plan. See Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3020(b)(2). The Case was filed, and the Plan was proposed, with the legitimate and honest purposes of reorganizing the Debtors' businesses, maximizing the recovery to Creditors and preserving the jobs of the Debtors' employees. K. Payments for Services or Costs and Expenses (11 U.S.C.ss.1129(a)(4)). Any payment made or to be made by the Debtors for services or for costs and expenses in connection with the Case, including all administrative expenses under sections 503 and 507 of the Code, or in connection with the Plan and incident to the 11 Case, has been approved by, or is subject to the approval of, the Court as reasonable, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(4) of the Code. L. Directors, Officers, and Insiders (11 U.S.C.ss.1129(a)(5)). The Debtors have complied with section 1129(a)(5) of the Code and have disclosed that the initial board of directors of Reorganized Holdings shall consist of the following seven (7) directors: i. Christopher J. Steffen - Chairman of the Board; ii. Randolph J. Agley; iii. Michael T. J. Veltri; iv. Craig Scott Bartlett, Jr.; v. Joe Colonetta; vi. William Ebbert; and vii. Frederick Sotok. Reorganized Holdings, as the sole shareholder of Reorganized Products, shall appoint to the board of Reorganized Products the same persons who comprise the board of Reorganized Holdings. The appointments of the respective initial boards of directors of Reorganized Holdings and Reorganized Products shall be effective on the Effective Date. Furthermore, the Debtors have disclosed that 5 Michael T. J. Veltri shall continue as the Chief Executive Officer of Reorganized Holdings and David J. Woodward shall continue as the Chief Financial Officer of Reorganized Holdings after the Effective Date. M. No Rate Changes (11 U.S.C.ss.1129(a)(6)). Section 1129(a)(6) of the Code is satisfied because the Plan does not provide for any change in rates over which a governmental regulatory commission has jurisdiction. N. Best Interests of Creditors Test (11 U.S.C.ss.1129(a)(7)). The Plan satisfies section 1129(a)(7) of the Code. The liquidation analysis in Exhibit C to the Disclosure Statement and the testimony, documentary evidence, or other proffers adduced at the Confirmation Hearing (1) are persuasive, credible and accurate as of the dates such evidence was prepared, presented, or proffered, (2) have proven by a preponderance of the evidence proffered that the Plan distributions are not less favorable than those distributions would be under a Chapter 7 liquidation, (3) are based upon reasonable and sound assumptions, (4) provide a reasonable estimate of the liquidation values which would be obtained upon conversion to a Chapter 7 proceeding, and (5) establish that each holder of a Claim in an impaired Class either (a) has accepted the Plan or (b) will receive or retain under the Plan, on account of such Claim, property of a value, as of the Effective Date of the Plan, that is not less than the amount that it would receive if the Debtors were liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Code on such date. O. Acceptance By Certain Classes (11 U.S.C. ss. 1129(a)(8)). The Claims in Classes 4 and 5 are impaired, and the holders of Claims in such Classes were notified of the consequences of voting to accept the Plan and have accepted the Plan in accordance with section 1126(c) of the Code. Claims in Classes 1, 2 and 3 are unimpaired. The holders of Interests in Classes 6 and 7 are impaired and have voted to accept the Plan. Thus, all impaired Classes have voted for the Plan and section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code has been satisfied. P. Treatment of Administrative and Tax Claims (11 U.S.C. ss. 1129(a)(9)). The treatment of the DIP Facility Claims under Section 3.1(a) of the Plan, Administrative Claims under Section 3.1(b) of the Plan, Priority Tax Claims under Section 3.1(c) of the Plan, and Other Priority Claims under Section 3.2 of the Plan satisfy the requirements of sections 1129(a)(9)(A), (B) and (C) of the 6 Code, as applicable. Q. Acceptance by Impaired Class (11 U.S.C.ss.1129(a)(10)). All impaired Classes of Claims have voted to accept the Plan thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(10) of the Code. R. Feasibility (11 U.S.C.ss.1129(a)(11)). The Plan satisfies section 1129(a)(11) of the Code because confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of Reorganized Holdings. As evidenced by (1) the projections provided in the Disclosure Statement, (2) the testimony, evidence or proffers adduced at the Confirmation Hearing, (3) the Commitment Letter for the Exit Facility entered into by and between the Debtors, Products and the Lenders (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1, the "Commitment Letter"), (4) the Debtors' representations that they have accepted the Commitment Letter and have the ability to comply with the conditions for consummation of the Exit Facility described in the Commitment Letter, and (5) the entry on October 31, 2001 of an Order sanctioning the Canadian Plan in respect of Products in the CCAA Case (which is a condition, together with its effectiveness, of the Effective Date of the Plan), Reorganized Holdings and Reorganized Products will have increased cash flow to meet their ongoing obligations, and will be under the control of competent management. Further, sufficient funds exist to, among other things, pay Priority Claims and make distributions to Creditors under the Plan. Thus, the Plan presents a workable scheme of reorganization and operation, and there is a reasonable probability that the provisions of the Plan will be performed. Accordingly, the Plan is found and determined to be feasible. S. Payment of Fees (11 U.S.C.ss.1129(a)(12)). All fees payable under 28 U.S.C.ss.1930 have been paid or will be paid on or prior to the Effective Date thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(12) of the Code. Furthermore, all fees payable under 28 U.S.C.ss.1930 after the Effective Date shall be paid by Reorganized Holdings. T. Continuation of Retiree Benefits (11 U.S.C.ss.1129(a)(13)). The Plan provides for the continuation of all retiree benefits after the Effective Date thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(13) of the Code. U. Principal Purpose of Plan (11 U.S.C.ss.1129(d)). The principal purpose of the Plan is not the avoidance of taxes or the avoidance of the application of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 7 1933 (15 U.S.C.ss.77e). V. Modifications to Plan. Any modifications to the Plan set forth in this Order do not materially adversely affect or change the treatment of any Creditor who has not accepted in writing the modification. Accordingly, pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3019, these modifications do not require additional disclosure under section 1125 of the Code or resolicitation of acceptances or rejections under section 1126 of the Code, nor do they require that holders of Claims be afforded an opportunity to change previously cast acceptances or rejections of the Plan. Disclosure of the modifications on the record at the Confirmation Hearing constitutes due and sufficient notice thereof under the circumstances of the Case. W. Good Faith Solicitation (11 U.S.C.ss.1125(e)). The Debtors and their officers, agents, employees, representatives, and attorneys, have solicited votes on the Plan in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Code, are entitled to the protections afforded by section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and, on the Effective Date, shall be entitled to the exculpation provisions set forth in Sections 12.8, 12.9 and 12.11 of the Plan. X. Adequate Assurance. No non-Debtor party to any executory contract or unexpired lease assumed pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Plan has objected to such assumption. The Debtors have (1) cured, or provided adequate assurance that Reorganized Holdings will cure, defaults (if any) under or relating to each executory contract or unexpired lease assumed under the Plan, and (2) pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Plan, provides a reasonable and appropriate procedure for resolving disputes, if any, with respect to the cure of such defaults. Y. Reorganized Holdings will not be Rendered Insolvent nor will It be Left with Unreasonably Small Capital. As of the occurrence of the Effective Date, Reorganized Holdings will not be (i) insolvent, (ii) rendered insolvent, or (iii) left with unreasonably small capital to operate its business as a result of the Plan or any other transactions contemplated by the Plan. Z. Satisfaction of Confirmation Requirements. The Plan satisfies the requirements for confirmation set forth in section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. 8 AA. Satisfaction of Conditions to Confirmation. The conditions to confirmation set forth in Section 10.1 of the Plan have been satisfied or will be satisfied by entry of this Confirmation Order. BB. Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. Findings of fact shall be construed as conclusions of law and conclusions of law shall be construed as findings of fact when appropriate. Fed. R. Bank. P. 7052. CC. Terms. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan. DECREES NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AND ADJUDGED THAT: 1. Approval of the Disclosure Statement. The Disclosure Statement is granted final approval. 2. Confirmation. The Plan is confirmed, as modified by this Order. To the extent that any provisions of the Plan conflict with the provisions of this Order, the provisions of this Order shall supercede the terms of the Plan and govern accordingly. 3. Modification. Any modifications to the Plan contained in this Order constitute modifications allowed pursuant to 11 U.S.C.ss.1127. Pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3019, these modifications do not adversely change the treatment under the Plan of the claim of any creditor or the interest of any equity security holder. Accordingly, the Plan shall be deemed accepted by all creditors and equity security holders who have previously accepted the Plan, and it is not necessary for the Plan, as modified by this Order, to be re-noticed to creditors, equity security holders and other parties in interest. 4. Objections. All objections to confirmation of the Plan that have not been withdrawn, waived, or settled, and all reservations of rights included therein, are overruled on the merits. 5. Succession of Reorganized Holdings - Contracts and Leases. With the exception of the executory contracts and unexpired leases listed on Schedule 6.3 of the Plan which shall be treated 9 in accordance with ordered paragraph 6 of this Order and Sections 6.3 and 6.4 of the Plan, on the Effective Date of the Plan, Reorganized Holdings shall be deemed to succeed to, by operation of law, all executory contracts or unexpired leases in existence as of the Petition Date, notwithstanding any provision in such contract or lease (including those described in Sections 365(b)(2) and (f) of the Code) that prohibits or restricts assignment or transfer or that enables or requires termination of such contract or lease, and all such contracts and leases shall be assumed and, to the extent required, assigned to Reorganized Holdings, and shall remain in full force and effect, including, but not limited to, the Accommodation Agreement and the Access and Security Agreement, both dated February 16, 2001 (the "Participating Customer Agreements"). The Participating Customer Agreements were assumed in the interim financing order entered in this Case, shall remain in full force and effect on and after the Effective Date of the Plan, and shall be binding upon and afford the rights provided therein to Reorganized Holdings, Reorganized Products and the other parties thereto, including the Agent for itself and the Exit Lenders providing financing to Reorganized Holdings and Reorganized Products pursuant to the Exit Facility. Effective as of the Effective Date, (a) all references in the Participating Customer Agreements to the "Restated Credit Agreement" or the "working capital financing" shall mean the Exit Facility, (b) all references to "Loan Documents" shall mean "Documents", as defined in the Exit Facility, and (c) the liens and security interests granted to the Agent for itself and the Exit Lenders pursuant to the Exit Facility shall be senior and prior to any liens and security interests granted to the Customers (as defined in the Participating Customer Agreements) by the Participating Customer Agreements. 6. Rejected Contracts and Leases. Effective on the Effective Date, all of the executory contracts and unexpired leases listed in Schedule 6.3 to the Plan are hereby deemed rejected. Except as provided by the Order Resolving Claims of John Realty, L.L.C. and James and Betty Guy, the rights and remedies of parties to rejected contracts or leases are governed by Sections 6.3 and 6.4 of the Plan. 7. Plan of Classification Controlling. The classification of Claims for purposes of the distributions to be made under the Plan shall be governed solely by the terms of the Plan, subject to 10 the Debtors' powers to seek disallowance, reclassification or subordination of individual claims (subject to the limitation described in the Plan). The classifications set forth on the Ballots tendered to and/or returned by the Creditors in connection with voting on the Plan (a) were set forth on the Ballots solely for the purposes of voting to accept or reject the Plan, (b) do not necessarily represent, and in no event shall be deemed to modify or otherwise affect, the actual classification or amount of such Claims under the Plan for distribution purposes, and (c) may not be relied upon by any creditor as representing the actual classification or amount of such Claims under the Plan for distribution purposes. 8. Vesting and Revesting of Assets. Pursuant to Section 5.9 of the Plan, the property of the Debtors' bankruptcy estates, shall vest and revest in Reorganized Holdings on the Effective Date. Commencing on the Effective Date, the Debtors may operate their respective businesses and may use, acquire and dispose of property free of any restrictions of the Code, the Bankruptcy Rules and the Bankruptcy Court; provided, however, Talon shall retain ownership of the name "Talon Automotive Group", provided further that (a) Talon shall provide Reorganized Holdings a royalty free license to use the name "Talon Automotive Group" for a period of up to six months following the Effective Date to permit Reorganized Holdings the ability to transition to the use of a different name, and (b) Talon shall not use the name "Talon" in the automotive stamping business for a period of five years following the Effective Date. 9. Authorization to Implement Plan. The Debtors and Reorganized Debtors are authorized and directed to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to enter into, implement, consummate and perform the contracts, instruments, releases, leases, indentures, and any and all other agreements or documents contemplated in connection with the Plan or the Financial Restructuring, including, by way of example only and not limitation, (a) the Exit Facility and all documents contemplated thereby and to be executed in connection therewith, and (b) the issuance of the New Securities. 10. New Common Shares. The New Common Shares issued under the Plan in exchange for the Class 5 Claims against the Debtors shall be exempt from registration under the Securities Act 11 pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, except to the extent that holders of the New Common Shares are "underwriters", as that term is defined in Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. 11. Distribution Record Date. The Distribution Record Date shall be November 23, 2001. 12. Workers Compensation Coverage. Reorganized Holdings shall be deemed to have assumed any and all workers compensation obligations of Talon (but not Reorganized Talon), and Reorganized Holdings may, in accordance with State law, continue as a self-insured employer for purposes of providing workers' disability compensation benefit coverage to the injured employees of Talon (but not Reorganized Talon) and/or Reorganized Holdings. Reorganized Holdings shall be responsible for and continue to pay any and all valid claims for benefits and all liabilities required by the Michigan Workers' Disability Compensation Act, MCL 418.101 et seq., including prepetition claims and liabilities against either Reorganized Holdings or Talon (but not Reorganized Talon), whether incurred prior to or subsequent to the Petition Date (but as to Talon only up to the Effective Date), in accordance with the terms and conditions of Talon's workers compensation plan in existence as of the Petition Date, and in accordance with State law. Accordingly, to the extent any Allowed Claim of an injured worker is not paid as a Class 1 Claim, it shall be treated and paid as a Class 4 Claim, regardless of whether a proof of claim was filed by or on behalf of such claimant, and in the same manner and pursuant to the same procedures as if the Debtors had not commenced any Chapter 11 Cases. All other liabilities, such as assessments pursuant to Chapter 5 of the Workers' Disability Compensation Act, shall be paid as a Class 1 Claim. 13. Settlement with John Realty, L.L.C. and James and Betty Guy. The Debtors have rejected certain unexpired leases of nonresidential real property with John Realty, L.L.C. and James and Betty Guy, (collectively the "Landlords"). Landlords have filed proofs of claim in connection with the rejection of those leases, which proofs of claim were disputed by Debtors. Landlords and Debtors have entered into a settlement and compromise of those proofs of claim asserted by Landlords pursuant to the terms of Order Resolving Claims of John Realty, L.L.C. and James and Betty Guy. That compromise and settlement is hereby approved and, because notice of such 12 compromise and settlement has been given to counsel for the Committee, Noteholders Committee and the DIP Agent and will not affect the distributions to be received by the holders of Claims or Interests under the Plan, no further notice of the compromise and settlement need be given. The Plan is hereby amended to provide for such compromise and settlement pursuant to the terms of Order Resolving Claims of John Realty, L.L.C. and James and Betty Guy, and the claims of Landlords shall be allowed in the amounts provided for therein and classified and treated in accordance with the terms, conditions and subject to limitations thereof. 14. GMAC. Within five (5) business days of the entry of this Order, Debtors and/or Reorganized Holdings shall pay the total sum of $5,471.75 (the "GMAC Cure Amount") to General Motors Acceptance Corporation ("GMAC") to effect a cure of any and all delinquent amounts owed through November 7, 2001 as to the certain automobile leases and contract entered into prior to the Petition Date by and between Debtors and GMAC (the "GMAC Leases and Contract"). Upon receipt of the GMAC Cure Amount by GMAC, the GMAC Leases and Contract shall be deemed assumed and assigned to Reorganized Holdings as described in the Plan and the Motion of GMAC for Relief from the Automatic Stay, filed with Court on or about October 12, 2001, shall be deemed resolved and GMAC's counsel shall promptly withdraw the motion. 15. GECC. On or before the Effective Date, Debtors and/or Reorganized Holdings shall pay the total sum of $99,589.10 (consisting of $88,589.10 in delinquent lease payments as of October 29, 2001 plus attorneys' fees), plus any unpaid monthly rental payments coming due after October 29, 2001 (the "GECC Cure Amount"), to General Electric Capital Corporation (also doing business as NHMG Financial Services, Inc. and Yale Materials Handling-Michigan, Inc.) (collectively, "GECC") to effect a cure of any and all delinquent amounts owed as to the certain equipment leases entered into prior to the Petition Date by and between GECC and Debtors (the "GECC Leases"). Upon receipt of the GECC Cure Amount by GECC, the GECC Leases shall be deemed assumed and assigned to Reorganized Holdings as described in the Plan. 16. Designation of Earlier Effective Date. The Effective Date shall mean the earlier of: (i) the Effective Date as provided in section 1.39 of the Plan or (ii) any earlier date designated by the 13 Debtors, the Committee and the DIP Agent in writing as the effective date of the Plan, in which case such writing shall be filed with the Court and such earlier designated date shall become the Effective Date, and the Plan is amended accordingly. /s/ Steven W.
